been found in London.
He was missed from Paris yesterday
when officers went to his brokerage office,
there to serve papers in a complaint en-
tered by Mrs George Baldwin Newell,
widow Of a New York lawyer, and her
sister, Miss Josephine Pomeroy. who al
legged that he had defrauded them out of
securities worth 100000.
Count" Harmon says he came to Lon
don simply on business. He insists that
the transaction on which the charge of
fraud is based was legitimate and would
have been settled without trouble if ii
had taken place in London or New York.
Mrs Newell and Miss Fomeroy appeal
ed to him a year ago, according to his
story. to eXtricate them from a stock
market deal in New York in which they
were heavy losers. He succeeded in saw
ing part of their fortune and rendered
them regular accounts.
Last November he called upon the two
women 10 redeem their stock. giving them
plenty OF notice. AS they did not comply
the stock was sold. leaving, according to
Count HamCn. $1,000 due them.
He says he is ready TO pay the women

NO FLIGHT TO-DAY.
Wind Blew Tent Down-Balloon
Safe Somewhere Else.

The flight of Army Dirigible Balloon
No at Fort Myer was again post
poned today. The balloon squad was en-
gagged most of the day in repairing the
damage the balloon tent suffered in the
storm yesterday afternoon.
1t was proposed yesterday to place the
balloon in the tent, but the engine was
not in good working order. and as the
tent had not been tested by the wind. it
was finally decided to keep the balloon
where it was in the balloon house. This
decision saved the dirigible from prob
able destruction.
The tent blew down shortly after 4
o'clock. entapgling Sergt. baltimore and
six men detailed to the inside of the tent
to look after any breaking ropes and to
make repairs in the canvas. There were
eight POLES supporting the tent. and in
hard puff Of wind seven of them snap
ped off and the big canvas fell to the
ground. Private Miller. who was struck
on the hip by flying tent pole and
bruised. was the only man hurt.
The dirigible, which was resting in the
balloon house. had narrow escape from
destruction by lightning. A bolt struck
the telephone wires and passed like a
flame through the house. Lieut.. Lahm
was standing in the doorway at the time.
The officers of the Signal Corps express
their surprise that the gas in the balloon
did not explode.
