winter time in these high Alps All that is con-

LAWYER FOR DUFFY.
Cause of Bingham's Downfall Again in

New York. Jan. 1.-THE case of
George b. Duffy, of Brooklyn, which
obtained a wide publicity through the

his wife in the home of his parents,
No, 257 Wyckoff street. Brooklyn. He
has been arrested several times, his
picture being taken on one occasion
at detective headquarters in that Dor
ough. Justice GaynOr, who interested
himself in the case. asserted that
Duffy had been bounded by the po-
lice and that his picture should be
removed from the rogues' gallery.
The young man was arrested on New
Years night. charged with disorderly
conduct and later released without
trial
The parents of the young man and
his friends are contemplating an ap-
peal to Mayor Gaynor to prevent the
police. they say, from bounding" him.
Mrs. Duffy refused to divulge the name
of the lawyer whom she said she had
retained.

MUTINEERS ARRESTED.
Soldiers on Fishers island Refuse to
Take Long Hike.

New London, Conn. Jan. 4.--Seventy-
six Of the S4 members of the Coast
Artillery company stationed at Fort
H. 6. Wright, Fishers Island, have
been placed under arrest for refusing
orders to take the 15-mile hike"
around the island on New Years day.
The mutineers, all members of the
125th Co., it is alleged, followed the
example of some of the non-commis-
stoned officers in rebelling against the
long march on the first day of the new
year, and Colonel John Rafferty,, in
command of all the adjacent island
Notifications, ordered the wholesale ar
rests.
One OF the mu,ineers escaped from
the island on a government transport,
but was soon rounded up. He will be
tried for desertion. All other COM

also at Fort Trumbull. this city, COM

Washington, but the 131st Co. men,

arms since their 15-mile march on
Christmas day, and the rebellion on
New Years is reported to have been
smouldering for a week.
The general opinion prevails that the
mutineers will have to face court

A QUICK CHANGE.
Paulhan's Praises for the Wrights
Gives Way to Denunciation.

New York. Jan. 4.-His praises in
English of the Wright brothers as
geniuses in the aeronautic field were in
less than an hour yesterday changed
to denunciations of both Orville and
Wilbur expressed in fluent French by
Louis Paulhan, the daring aviator.
When sailing up the bay on La Bre-
tagne Paulhan had nothing but praise
for the Wrights in talking to reporters.
When he stepped from the liner on to
the pier and Immediately was served
with papers in a suit for alleged in
Engagements of the Wright patents he
changed his mind with Partisan rap
idity
The figure at the tip of the wings of
the machine Paulhan uses is alleged to
have been stolen from the type used by
the Wrights, and he was handed the
papers in the suit the moment he
touched American soil. 1t is not known
whether the plaintiffs will push their
complaint in California, where Paul
han has contracted to make several
flights, but he will be restricted from
making local demonstrations.
The machine that Paulhan brought
across with him is the one in which he
made the record for height at the camp
of Chalons, France, where he scared
1900 feet in the air. In distance flying
he made continuous flight Of more
than 200 miles, remaining up for more
than three hours. He holds the honors
In both height and distance.
With his young wife, the aviator,
who was unknown few years ago,
had in his pocket yesterday contracts
for exhibitions, which will add largely
to his present income of more than
$4,000 year.
Il consider the Wright brothers gen
fuses in the aeronautic field,' Paulhan
told the reporters on board La Bre-
tagne. When the papers We're served
on him, however, he forgot his Eng
fish vocabulary and expressed himself
in fluent French. He probably will
stay but short time in New York, as
his exhibition contracts call him to
California. The suit may be trans
ferred there, as Paulhan intends to use
"a Tarmant machine with the flexible
wing tips the Wrights have patented
in this country.
