ELU|[D OFF GERS
FOR THREE Years
Kuhn Had Travelled to Alaska
and Other Countries.
RELENTLESS P u R S u 7
Prisoner Claims He Can Clear
Himself of Charge.
RELENTLESS P U R S U T

New York, Feb. AFTER eluding for
more than three years Chicago detectives.
pfnkertcn sleuths and secret-service men,
Who bounded him all through the west
% Alaska and then to Mexico. Adolph
Kuhn. alias Fieher, of Chicago. was at
last captured in this city. Headquarters
Detectives Grade and Weller clicked the
handouts on him as he was about to
enter his room at No. 81 East Fifty
eevcnth street.
There is much mystery surrounding the
affair. Detective Cunic, when here two
weeks ago would not tell the local police
officials just why Kuhn was wanted, or
explain why such a relentless hunt for
him had been maintained. Cunic and
other detectives have spent hundreds OF
dollars in chasing Kuhn thousands of
miles. Unless there is something of un-
usually important in the case police de-
partments do not go to such expense and
pains to arrest a man wanted OH a lar
ceny Indictment The detective bureau
of this city is of the belief that private
individuals have provided the money to
run down Kuhn, and that-th viii be
startling revelations in Chicago when he
Is put on trial.
1t was freak OF fate that Chicago de-
tectives learned Kuhn was in this city
They had lost track Of him at Tampa
Fla. Three weeks ago two Chicago men
while standing in front of a Sixth avenue
department store, observed Kuhn, also
looking in the window. Kuhn saw that he
was recognized and hastily dss ppeared
in the crowd. When Detective Cunic
heard of this. he came on pest haste He
enlisted the aid of the local detectives
For nearly three weeks they tracked
several phantom Kuhns about the city.
ard then Cunic gave up the search. On
SATURDAY Detectives Weller and Grade
located Kuhn in the house in Fifty-sev-
enth street where he had been rooming
under the name of Fisher. Kuhh says
NE can easily clear himself and init
mates that he has been unjustly perse-
cuted
More than three years ago a grand jury
at Chicago brought in two secret indiet-
ments against Kuhn. ssENhsn the police
went to arrest him he had disappeared.
He was tracked through a dozen cities
Of the middle west to the border line OF
North Dakota. His Whereabouts in Brit
fish Columbia were watched and when
ne went to Alaska United States secret
service men took 10 the trail. He eluded
them by getting aboard a boat at Dawson
City and lodged the detectives waiting
for him ON the dock at San Francisco.
From the latter city Kuhn was followed
IN Sacramento. San Diego and Los Ange-
les. He traVersed the alkali deserts and
crossed the border line into Mexico at FL
Paso. Tex. He was traced TO Mexico
City. thence to Nassau in the Bahamas.
and finally lost track of in Tampa

A New catarrh cYre Which Is Rapidly
Coming to the Front.


For several years, red gum. blood root
and hydrastin have been recognized as
standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
hut they have always been given sepa-
rately and only very recently an iRgen-
ious chemist succeeded in combining
them, together with other antisepties into
a pleasant, effective tablet
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name OF Stuart CatarI Tablets and II
has met with remarkable success in the
cure of nasal catarlh, bronchial and
throat catarIh and in catarrh of the
stomach.

Results of Years of Labor of Pro-
fessOr Langley disappointment

Whitewater, Va, October THE sixty
foot, steel built flying machine, the
climax of years of exhaustive study in
the efforts of Professor Samuel p
Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian
institution to solve the problem of me-
|chanical flight in mid-air, was launch
ed today and the experiment, carefully
planned and delayed for months, prov
led a complete failure.
The immense airship sped rapidly
along it's 20 foot track, was moved by its
own momentum for 100 yards and
lthen fell gradually into the Potomac
lriver, whence it emerged a total wreck
Professor Charles NJ. Manley who has
been Professor Langley's chief assistant
in the work preliminary to the attempt
ed flight, made the ascent in the aero
ldrome and escaped with q duckins-
At no time was there any semblancs
| of flight, the initial momentum, the
Ilightness of the machine and the sus-
ltaining surface of the wings furnishing
the conditions which account for the
hundred yard transit of the air bird
from the sixty foot elevation to the
water. An official statement made af-
ter the test admitted that the expert
|ment was unsuccessful, but asserted
confidence in the ultimate success Of the
Invention.

strain him from proceeding with the

nations made were those of r. Fulton

he said, because they had been norri-
mated at the city democratic cOnva2-
ton.

written his last letter to Mr. GrOut in
the discussion which has been going
on between them as to whether MI,
