I'm CHARLIE ROSS, SAYS
MAN HELD HERE FOR PROBE.
Describes kidnapping, but Po-
lice Doubt His Sanity.

Charlie Ross. who is held at the Sec
ond Precinct station pending an in
quiry into his insanity. seems to be
laboring under the delusion that he is
the long-Iost Charlie Ross, of Philadel-
phia, who was kidnapped about thirty
i've years ago. The mystery surround
ing the kidnapping never has beer
cleared up.
Although Ross, the prisoner. lis un-
doubtedly suffering from decisions, he
is remarkably well posted on the
Charlie Ross case.
In a statement today he said he was
taken from the home of his father, a
well TODD Philadelphian at the time,
by two men and a woman, who carried
him in a covered wagon from Philadel-
phia to this city. He was taken to a
house in New, York avenue, he claims,
and kept there for a long while. but
was later left alone by the people he
had lived with, whose name he claims
was Miller.
The only discrepancy in his story is
the fact that he insists that he was
kidnapped thirty-nine and one-half
years ago, when he was 31a years old,
while he now gives his age as 36. and
claims that is correct. DIR. j. Henry
Clark. of the police department. will ex-
anime the man in a>day or two, to de-
termine whether he will be tried on n
charge of lettering preferred by Special
officer Van Der Schmidt, of the D., l..
and w. r. r.. or sent to an asylum.

MONOPLANE FLIGHT
HALTED BY WIND
MAY SOAR TODAY
Bleriot Machine All Ready to Go
Up at Ampere-Ayiator
Is Disappointed.

Bleriot's monoplane will make AM
other attempt to fly this afternoon at
Ampere, il the wind is favorable. The
great hbird" was brought out on the
grounds today, and set up by
the m~echanicians under the di-
rection, OF Paul Miltgen, who
will pilot the craft, but q
shifting southwest breeze again brought
disappointment to the big GROVE gath
cred in the hope of seeing an ascension.
MiltRen, who is a keen-eyed. nervous
Frenchman, hustled about in high hopes
of being able to soa over East Orange
and Newark, and saw to it personally
that every nut and bolt of the machine
was tight, and every bearing working
freely. He said he expected the wind
to die down during the afternoon, or
moderate sufficiently to permit him TO
make a flight.
The aviator has announced ms lnteh-
tipn of trying to break the records for
speed and height made by the Wright
brothers in their bipiane and was much
disappointed at the discourteous treat
ment accorded to him yesterday by the
high wind, s..f#
Miss Marie Sperber, connected with
the Monoplane Company, was the CEN
tire of interest again today. She wants
to go up in the machine and believes
she can manipulate it in the air. She
may be given the chance.

Y.W.C.k. MANAGERS
fLAN CAMPAIGN
TO RAISE s350,000
City Divided Into Districts 10 Be
Canyassed for Funds
for Building.

A gathering of the ~canvassers who
will take charge Of the campaign to
raise $3.50, 600 for the construction of a
new Y. w. C. A.. building to be erected
on the site now occupied by the old
Howell homestead, which the associa-
ton recently acquired, will take place
at $3.50 tomorrow morning in the press
ent association building, IA East Park
street. The representatives will be
given instructions for soliciting in the
districts assigned to them In the six
weeks the campaign is to last.
, An informal luncheon was given yes
terday in the Y. w. C. A. lunch-room
at 653 Broad street, at which the lead
ers of the movement explained the
various phases of the work of getting
the new home. Miss Annie M. Gwin-
nell, chairman of the building plans
committee, who visited Cleveland, De-
troit and Toledo last winter to see the
association buildings there. told of
defects in the buildings she visited
which should be avoided in the New
ark home.
She said that in Toledo 1t had been
deemed advisable not to build near the
CeILTt u the CITY. fACCOl ulli6iy, q W.
eight blocks out was selected, with the
result that when he building was put
up 1t was so far away that girls were
not attracted to it. Detroit, she said,
had put the building in the centre of
the city, but had made it too small, so
tina it was outgrown in a couple of
years.
To save $4,000 the Cleveland associa-
ton had spoiled it's gymnasium. New
ark was avoiding these mistakes, she
declared. She stated that the associa-
ton had not used the present building
on the property because there is neither
heat nor plumbing, and it seemed fool
ish to spend one when 1t was hoped
that within a short time a new build
ing would be available.
Mrs. Richard c.. Jenkinson, chairman
of the board of managers. was another
OF the speakers. She old of the COM
ing campaign for funds, and urged that
it be vigorously prosecuted. Mrs. Sam
uel Clark, chairman of the finance
committee, said that the finances of the
association were in better shape than
they were last year, and that the or
ganization was so per cent. s~elf-sup-
porting. Mrs. Addison B. Poland, first
vice-president, spoke on why Is This
Woman's Work2' Another of the
speakers was Miss Susan H. Ward.
The association already has 100000
of the s350,O00 in sight, in requests,
pledges and contributions. The city
has been divided into sections and each
placed In the charge of a canyasser.
The work will. be entirely through in
dividual effort. There will be no mass
meetings until 1t. is well under way, at
least. The proceeds of the canvass will
go towards the payment of the lot,
building and equipment.
