Commander G. A. Bump of Sedg-
wick post he rose to his feet and
declared: Not as long as we, or
our children and our children's S
children will live, will this day be

he heard the statement made by
Commander Brown of Massachu-

is impossible. and l not only speak
for myself. but for every Grand

NEW YORK, May 3d.
The beginning of aeroplane
flights between Chicago and
New York with no more
stops than would be neces-
sary for an express train to
change engines, is consider
ed a probability here today.
Aviators, enthused by the
achievement of Glenn II.
Curtiss in flying 137 miles
between Albany and New
York yesterday with only
two descents, are claiming
that with the establishment
of aerodromes and increased
knowledge Of aerial condi-
tons, Curtiss' flight may be
surpassed for greater dis
tances, and eventually gi-
gantic passenger carrying
airships will ply between
principal cities of the Unit

Curtiss today was the recipient
of many honors and congratula-
tions bestowed by his admirers.
More substantial in reward was the
New York Worlds check for $l0,-

successful flight. The aviator gave
the check to Mrs. Curtiss. who took
it with smile and said she would

LOUISVILLE, May 3O.-The body
Of Alma Kellner missing from her
home since December, was found
today in an unused cellar of the
st. Johns parochial school.
Dick Sweets, plumber, was
pumping water out of the cellar. He
saw child's shoe protruding from
mass of debris. Pulling at the
shoe, he dragged Alma's body
wrapped in piece of old carpet
from pile of rubbish in the cor
ner.
AS the carpet unrolled, flesh fell
from the body.
The investigation so far made
indicates that the child was mur.
dered and her body dropped
through a trap door in the floor.
The police and the coroner are con
Quoting investigations and detec-
tives are already at work in an eff
fort to solve the mystery of Alma's
death.
Alma Kellner, s years old, disap-
peared last December. Frederick
Kellner, her father, is a wealthy
brewer. He has made every possi-
BILE effort to find the girl.
Alma disappeared on her way to
church, according to the story told
by her parents. 1t was believed
that she was kidnapped and held for
ransom. Several alleged offers
from the supposed kidnapers have
been received by Kellner and he
has offered to pay the sums asked
and ask no questions if the kidnap-
ers would give him some assur-
ance that the girl was in their pos
session.
The last failure to find the girl
was disappointment to her
mother, but until today she has
never given up hope that her
daughter would be returned to her.
