MUCH SUGAR COATED
Statements Are Issued From
Germany in Regard to
Hill Case.
AMERICANS TO BLAME.

Berlin, March 2S.-The matter OF
the acceptance by the German govern
ment OF DR.. David Jayne Hill, now
American minister at The Hague. as
American ambassador to succeed
Charlemagne Tower, continues to hold
public interest. The foreign office
deals with the affair by denying that
any expression adverse to DR.. Hill has
come from the German side declaring
that he is persona grata. and that all
statements in a contrary sense are in
ventions put into circulation by de
signing Americans. It states that the
opposition TO DR.. Hill is American and
not German.
Charlerange Towers Part.
Mr.. Towers part is explained to
have been confined to a transmirtal to
President Roosevelt Of the Emperor's
definite communication. 1t happens
also that his majesty at about the
same time requested a distinguished
personal friend of President Roosevelt
who is now in Germany, to write to
the president concerning his majesty's
unwillingness to receive DR.. Hill.
Both Of these communications were
sent at the express wish of the en-
peror. 1t is just possible that the For
eign office is not aware of the second
communication. which is probably still
in the transatlantic mail.

Mrs. Henry Ficken's Army of
Men, Boys and Dogs Couldn't
Catch Their Prey
ESCAPES INTO CEMETERY
AFTER THRILLING FLIGHT
W0uld-Be Burglar Had Been De-
tected Breaking Through
Window.

The police are still ON the lookout
for a would-be robber, who last night
scared up a wild burglar hunt that
reused the whole neighborhood about
Seventeenth avenue. Rose street and
Woodlawn Cemetery. Incidentally, he
also unearthed a modern Joan of Arc,
for 1t was Mrs. Henry Ficken, of 1877
seventeenth avenue, who first discov-
cred the man trying to get into her
house and later organized and led the
hatless and breathless crowd of yelling
men, boys and dogs through back lanes
and over fences looking for the robber.
This is how it all happened. Mrs
Ficken had risen about 11:30 in order
to get breakfast for her husband, who
is night Watchman. She was seated
in chair by the window in her apart
ment, which is on the third floor, when
she spied a man slSulking about in the
adjoining lot
Becoming suspicious, Mrs. Ficken
watched the fellow, and, when he came
and peered into the window of the
apartment on the first floor of the house
In which the Fickens live, called her
husband When Mr.. Ficken reached
his wife's side the man had crawled
through the window and reused a dog,
which began to bark savagely.
Apparently the robber decided to
beat it," for when Mr.. Fieken looked
out of the window again he was sneak
ing through the yard.
stop, or I'll shoot" shouted Mr..
Ficken
"Try a shot" came back from the
burglar and Mr.. Ficken let drive with
his shotgun,
When she saw the man getting
away Mrs. Ficken went running down
the back stairs shouting for others to
come and aid her. She followed the
man out of the yard and down the
street, while others, men and boys
from around Bergen and East Fair
mont avenue. Joined her Soon she
had q score following on in her ex-
cited army.
The burglar was a good sprinter,
however, and kept ahead of his pur-
suers. The last seen of him. he was
going into Woodlawn Cemetery, and
though the burial plots were searched
until late at night no trace of him
could be found.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a new

accomplished at Fort Myer, Virginia.

In the air 81 minutes and 81 seconds.

His smashing OF all previous records
carried out his promises of last night
after his two remarkable ascensions
when. at the maximum height of sixty
feet. going ten and three-quarters
miles III all and averaging thirty-six
miles an hour, he spent eleven minutes
In one fight and eight minutes in
the other
Todays achievement was accom-
plished under ideal weather condi-
tlors and in the presence of about
twenty-five spectators aside from the
soldiers. The ascension was made at
Sis o'clock this morning. 1t was an
easy ride in the air; the machine was
under perfect control and the aviator
travelled at a speed approyimsting
thirty-six to thirty eight miles an
hour.
Mr.. Wright declared that had he
known that he was SO close to being
in the air an hour leNvould have re-
manned that much longer. He said he
came down because his motor slipped
once or twice and that he thought he
had only been in the air for half an
hour. He promptly announced that
he would make another attempt later
in the day.
Except for the slipping of the motor
everything worked as smoothly as the
most perfectly adjusted clock.
Fly his fight today Orville Wright
far exceeded the best official record
ever made by heavier khanair ma
chine. Twas only on Sunday last
that Leon Delagrange, president of he
Aviation Club, of France, established
q rev worlds record up to that time
by remaining in the air 20 minutes

The maximum height reached by
Wright today was $50 feet. As the

ARCADE PEOPLE

Board OF Works Superintendent
Charged with Favoring

f. j. Greenberg, president of the
Arcade Block Lighting Company, whose
wires were torn mp in front of A. A.
Elsle's building, on Broad street, last
night, by order of Superintendent Ship
man, of the Board of Works, said to-
day that Mr.. Shippman spoke falsely
when he said that he ordered the
Arcade Company's wires up, on his own
authority. "Shipman misrepresents
matters if he said that said Mr..
Greenberg to an EVENING STAR re-
porter today. He sought the advice
of the commissioners, who refused to
have anything to do with the case, and
advised him to see the law department.
He then ordered them taken UP, and
asking for police protection went to

IF Mr.. Shipman is so anxious to do
his duty we could show him plenty of
things which needed his attention. The
trouble is that Shipman was formerly
a Public Service employee himself.

The company promises to spring big
sensation within a day or two.

which the Arcade company supplied the
Lauter company. the Public Service
Corporation dug UP Eisele's basement,
but found nothing. over night the Ar
cade company laid wires in IL pipe in
the street around the front of Eise!e's
store and yesterday the Board of
Works ripped out the pipe. claiming
that the Arcade company had no peri
NIT to tear up the street and lay the
wires
j. O. Sharp. of the Arcade Block
Lighting Company, said that his con-
cern was still furnishing the Lauter
Company with electric light, but would
not say how. He said
1--WE have applied to the Board of
Works many times for permission to
lay the wires. but have been refused.
We asked for permission to lay a
steam-pipe connection. and were re-
fused. Then we went ahead and put
down the wires.
I'VE now have a wire running across
West Park street, and we may circle
the block to get the current to the
Lauter Company from the other side. 4"
