HABERSHAM CLAIMS
BODY OF DAUGHTER
Baltimore Millionaire Takes the
Wandering Girls Remains
Home With Her Child
Especial Dispatch io The Call

CINCINNATI, O.. Nov. I'D. II.
Habersham, millionaire Baltimore
broker. reached Cincinnati this even
ing to take charge of the body of his
daughter, Mrs Jessie Habersham
Michels, wife of "Gipsy King" George
S. N1ichels. Shortly before he left Gin
cinnati for Baltimore at $50 tonight
he said he was taking along her little
child and that it would be reared in
his Baltimore home and brought up
knowing the full details of its mothers
life
Habersham said that he would say
nothing relative TO HIS daughters
sctions in marrying Michels. and that
although he hated the idea. of her mar
rying a rowing gypsy and leaving the
had long since come to the conclusion
that if she wished to lead the life of a
gypsy queen" he would have no re-
course but to allow her to do so.
Should King" George, the gypsy
chief who has disappeared, make a
claim for the child he would have first
right in the law. but the Habersham
family will do everything in their
power to retain possession of the little
fellow.
The fact that Miss Habersham, the
Gypsy queen" came from one of the
distinguished and wealthy Maryland
families, that she was descendant of
Francis Scott Keys. Judge Roger B.
Taney and other distinguished Ameri-
cans, lends enchantment to the story
Of her life in the Gypsy camps. That
the life was entirely of her volition
and that She left her home with this
thought in mind came to light today
when the reporters found a diary she
had kept for the last FIVE years dur
ing her Gipsy life.
In this book she declares that So
ciety is too sitting, that it brought no
joy even when she had all the doors
of Baltimore society thrown open to
her. She says in the diary that she
first saw a Gipsy camp when she was
attending a boarding school at Sara

education and returned home, but that
the pentup inactivity grated on her
nerves, and that she finally decided to
run away and be Gypsy. She ran away
six years ago. Two years later she
wrote her parents, telling them she was
happy and that they should cease hunt
ing for her
In her diary she wrote: 'T found
there is more love and truth beneath
the canvas of a Romany tent than in
any mansion. There is no shame nor
hypocrisy here 1 love my husband
and he loves me. No other life appeals
to me like this. We go where and when
we please. If. our tents were taken
from US we could live under Gods
generous sky. and we would be happy
If TO wish to see your father and other
relatives is to be homesick, then maybe
I am some times; but I never want to
go to them and live their life. If they
come to me and live under my hus-
hands tent I woud be CAD to have
them. I know that to American eyes
my husband does not appear handsome,
but ! prefer him to the fairest of
American gentlemen. It is his soul that
appeals"

matter for an aeroplane to anght on a
vessel, either while the latter was NOV
ing or standing still Naval experts
who witnessed the flight expressed
their belief that the navies OF the fu-
ture must take the aeroplane into con-
sideration.
Captain Washington I. Chambers. who
has been detailed by the navy depart

psted and is confident the time is near

but for scotu duty.
Starting out from the Norfolk navy
yard at 1880 o'clock this morning on
the Birmingham, closely followed by the
l naval vessels, it was fully four hours
before EIyis machine was working to
his full satisfaction.
The machine in which he few was the
one that Glenn Curtiss used on his AL
bany TO New York flight. It had seen
over Lake Erie from Euclid beach TO
Cedar point and back a distance of 20
miles; the other by Curtiss himself over
the Atlantic ocean off Atlantic City,
when il covered so miles.
Mile a Minute
The distance which Ely flew today
was nearly five miles.
II was 1880 o'clock when he took to
the air; five minutes later he was safe
on Virginia soil a few miles north of
Norfolk. Ely, after being brought back
on launch and placed aboard the tor
2edo boat destroyer Roe said he was not
fond OF the water, but he had overcome
his fears long enough to accomplish his
purpose.
When he struck the water on diving
N the platform on the Birmingham
salt water dashed into hfs face and
goggles and he could not see for sew
raj minutes in which direction he was
going. He had planned to take a diff
ferent from that followed and land
-srther to the north. The highest alti-
lde he attained was estimated at 500
teet
His striking the water, he said after
ward, was due TO q miscalculation. He
lad planned before he left the incline
10 drop near the water, so as to get
lie momentum which he wanted to
arry him upward, but he overreached
-he mark.
Ely returned to Norfolk Immediately
sitter the fight, and If weather con-
5luons tomorrow are favorable he will
attempt flight over the city.
It Is understood that Ely by his
hight won $4,000 prize offered by
John Barry Ryan for the first flight OF
4 mile or more from any ship 10 land.

hature, IL is believed. viii be conducted
