DISAPPEARS IN NEW YORK
Railroad Man Who Had Fortune Left
to Him Cannot Be
Found
By Associated Press


NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-According to
information received. by the police yes
terday, Frederick Clifford Doorway,
Canadian, who came here a month ago
for the purpose of receiving a bequest
of $150.000 left to him in gratitude by
woman he had once assisted, has dis
appeared and central office detectives
are now looking for him.
According to the story from Canada,
as told by the police, Doorway was
telegraph operator and station agent
at railroad in Canada during the win
ter of 1903, when wreck occurred near
his station, and he started out to aid
the injured.
One of those he aided was an elderly
woman, who said she was Mrs. James
of New York and who told him that
some day he would hear from her.
Doorway later became superintendent on
the railway, with headquarters at Sud
bury, Ontario. He never heard from
Mrs. james" and the matter passed
from his mind until last Christmas,
when he received a letter from a law
yer in Kansas stating that Mrs. James
had died and had left the sum of $150,000
to him.
On January 20, Doorway left his home
and came to New York for the purpose
of collecting his legacy, the Kansas
lawyer having notified him that the
money would be paid to him in that
city. From the time of his arrival in
New York, however, he has not been
seen and officers have been detailed on
the case to try and locate him.
The records have been searched but
so far nothing pertaining to the legacy
referred to has been discovered.

SCARS OVERHEAD
IN HIS A|RSH|P
KNABENSHUE TESTS HIS UN-
NAMED CRAFT
Makes Ascent From Fiesta Park Aero
drome and Traverses the City
by the Cloud Route in
Easy style

Taking advantage of the calm
weather, Roy Knabenshue, who has
been spending the winter in Los An
geles, cut loose from earth yesterday
about 10 O'Clock and sailed over the
city, which is now frequently called
the home of aerial navigation.
The day could not have been more
perfectly suited for the flight of his
airship, which he has never named, If
Il had been made to the operators
special order.
There were no counter winds to hinder
the guiding of the machine and the
air was warm and dry and did not
have any effect upon the gas such as
would detract from its lifting ability.
Knabenshue made the ascent from
Fiesta park, where he keeps his ship
in the aerodome At first he rose to a
high distance from earth and made a
slarge circuit over the city.
Near Postoffice
Then the ship was allowed to come
closer to earth and finally hovered a
few feet above the postoffice or cir
cled around it. This exhibition was
witnessed by hundreds of people who
were calling for their Sunday morning
mail. Everyone marveled at the skill
with which Knabenshue handled the
machinery and guided his ship.
Knabenshue is famous the world over
for his flights, but has improved his
ability to control the machinery as
well as improving the machinery itself
since his ascents in Los Angeles last
year.
The ship, shapely and attractive in
itself, drew to it thousands of eyes
yesterday as it sailed over the city.
First, high up among the clouds and
then, by simply reversing some of the
machinery, the operator would dart al
most to the earth.
The ship, glstened in the sunshine and
the propellers made the observer think
of trim ship. In fact. one of Knahen-
shue's principles which he is working
with is the fact that the same laws
work either when a machine is sub
merged in the water or submerged in
air.
During his stay in Los Angeles this
winter Knabenshue has been working
out some of the ideas which he has had
for some time, but had not had the
opportunity to put into operation hith-
erto.
Trial Trip
The trip yesterday was merely trial
trip and was very satisfactory to the
inventor. Never before did he have
such perfect control over the appar-
atus. To be true, he had one small
break in the machinery, but this was
easily repaired without any damage
being done to the airship.
Knabenshue is delighted more than
ever with the calm, even weather in
Southern California which he pro-
nounced as being the most favorable
for aerial navigation of any place in
the world. as was stated in an inter
view printed exclusively in The Herald
when he arrived in Los Angeles last
fall.
