Wilbur Wright Ready to
Make His Test.

New York, Sept. 27.-Fourteen mill
lion eyes were turned upward today at
intervals in. the hope that Wilbur
Wright could be seen at the time fly
ing above the great skyscrapers of the
metropolis. The wind was strong in
the morning, however, and Mr.. Wright
did not leave his nest at Governors Is
land.
This afternoon he will begin a series
OF the most spectacular flights ever
before attempted, provided the weather
is favorable. The start will be made
from Governors Island, and during his
flights he will soar over bay and riv-
ers, over the city sky-scrapers and set
a record that will make the Hudson
Fulton celebration as memorable IN
navigation of the air as Fulton made
water navigation 100 years ago.

Sum of $132 Was Taken and
Certificates of Deposit
Amounting to 81, 900 Were
Also Seized.
ROBBERS HAD A VERY
EASY ACCESS TO SAFE
When Office Was Closed, Big
Vault Was Not Locked
Crooks Enter Through a
TranSom.

Thieves entered the Office OF the
Commons Dairy company on South
Fifth street last night about IL o'clock
and secured s132 from the safe. A
of private papers belonging to
Walter Commons and certificates of
deposits for the sum Of $1,000 ON an
out of town bank were also taken.
These however will be useless to the
thieves as they cannot be cashed. The
safe was not locked when the pro-
prietors left earlier In the evening and
by merely turning the knob on the
door the contents of the big vault
were thrown open to the culprits bone
fit.
Entrance probably was gained to
the establishment by climbing through
q transom in the rear door. as there
were numerous evidences Of finger
marks in the dust above the door.
The robbery was discovered by Pa
trolman Longman shortly after 1t oc-
CURED. The officer was walking On
his beat on South Fifth street when
he saw a man run down the alley
across the street from tho comDany's
office.
Man Makes Escape.
Suspecting something was wrong
Longman started in pursuit but the
man eluded his would.be captor and
the officer returned to make IN in
vestigation. It is the supposition that
while Longman was on his fruitless
chase another man in the office tap
ped the safe and made his success
full getaway before the policeman re-
turned. Longman entered the office
and discovered the safe door standing
wide open. A piece of paper with the
combination Of the safe written on It
was also found lying on the floor In
front of the safe. It II suggested that
the thieves perhaps left this piece Of
paper there Just to show that they
could have gained access to the safe
even II it had been locked and were
evidently greatly surprised to find
their work could be accomplished 20
, easily.
Mr. Commons stated that It was the
custom to frequently leave the safe
unlocked over night in consideration
Of the fact that the office was 20 close
to police headquarters. He stated that
the company's receipts for Saturday
and Sunday had not been placed in
the safe and that had the thieves wait
ed, their loot might have been In
creased to the extent Of several hund
red dollars more. Mr.. Commons II ol

prepared for its coming and were up on their
feet as soon as the regiment hove in sight.
