WENDLING I'M EUROPE?
Think Alleged Kellner Slayer
Sailed for Antwerp.

Louisville June "A man answering the
description of Joseph Vending, suspected
of the murder of little Alma Kelner
bought ticket from New York to Antwerp
by 1.-The Red Star Line on January 90. r. o.
Breuer, local representative of the line,
says he does not know the name of the
steamer on which he sailed. Breuer identi-
fed Mrs. Wendling this afternoon as Q
woman who called a his office in the latte,
part of February and inquired whether Jo-
seph Vending had purchased a ticket to
Antwerp.
With the contribution by the City Coun-
Gil last night of $3.50 TO the fund which
will be offered for the arrest and convic-
ton of the slayer, the reward has now
reached $500. This will be augmented
probably by an offer by Governor Wilson
of $500 on behalf of the state. Smaller sub
scriptions or from s. to $100 were rendered
to-day by citizens of Louisville, and it is
expected that before the end of the week
the amount will reach $4,000.
Chief of Police Lindsay says that he has
received informatiop that Vending re-
mained in Louisville as late as March l.

TWICE ACROSS CHANNEL

from the French side, but up to to-day
no one had made the flight with the
start from the English coast.
The first Channel trip was planned
last July, and on the 18th Hubert
Latham, the French aviator, started out
from the cliffs of Calais in the foggy
morning hours. The air and winds were
propitious, and the flyer said his car
developed a speed of thirty-five miles
an hour When a dozen miles from
Dover the purring of the motor gradu-
ally ceased and the winged machine
fioated down and hit the water with
scarcely a splash. Torpedo boats ana
tugs had been strung across the Chan-
mel. and soon the semaphore at Calais
reported that the Harpon was coming
in with Latham on board He had been
found floating on the water, calmly
smoking a cigarette and waiting, MicaW-
ber-like, for something to turn up.
Blfriot stole march on Latham. On
the morning of July % Latham thought
that the conditions did not warrant an
attempt Count de Lambert, another
aviator. was on the English side select
ing a landing. Bleriot, swathed in fly
ing clothes and limping on a bandaged
foot. got into his car at Les Baroques
and was off in one of the smallest ma
chimes ~,eyers used. 1t measured only
twenty feet across the wings, was
equipped with a 25-horsepower. engine
and weighed only about four hundred
pounds Flying about two hundred and
fifty feet above the water, Bleriot made
twenty-three miles in 80 minutes, twice
as swiftly as the fastest mail boat.
After circling the gray walls of Dover
castle he landed in Northfall Meadow,
and now a monument marks the place.
1t is a marble picture of the aeroplane.
Bleriot received the cross of the Legion
Of Honor and 5000 prize.

YOUNG BROKER SELF-;SLA|N
George Morgan Answers Phone
Call, Then Shoots Himself.
NO MOTIVE DISCLOSED
Had Made a Fortune in Wall
Street at Twenty eight
Father Was Big Speculator.

George Morgan, a member of fashion
able clubs and formerly a broker in
Wall Street, killed himself yesterday
morning in his bachelor quarters at the
Mendelssohn apartments, No. lib West
10th street He was found lying acroN
his bed in his pajamas, with bullet
hole in his right temple. No motive
whatever can be adduced for his act by
either relatives or friends.
Mr. Morgan, who was only twenty
eight years old, roomed with Matthew
Morgan, his older brother, and Herman
G. Won Rodenstein, a bond broker, of
No 80 Broad street. Matthew Morgan
was in ST Vincent's Hospital at the time
of the suicide. where he had been con-
fined for a short period with a slight in
jury to his leg. Won Rodenstein was
taking a shower bath, and the noise
made by the water drowned out the
sound of the shot.
Robert Wilson. the valet who attended
all three. entered the apartment shortly
after . o'clock TO see TO the wants of his
employers He tried the door of George
Morgan's bedroom and found it locked
most unusual circumstance. He went
to the bathroom and told Mr.. Won Ro-
denstein that Mr.. Morgan's door was
locked and that he had detected the
sound of Iabored breathing and groans
coming from within. Mr.. Won Roden
stein gave this report no thought, al
though he had been talking with young
Morgan a few minutes before, because
his roommate was known as a heavy
snorer. and he supposed he had fallen
asleep again.
The valet, however, climbed out of the
window Of Mr.. Won Rodenstein's bed
room to a little roof level with the SILL
and made his way round to the window
of AIr Morgans bedroom. This was shut
hut not locked, so he crawled in and
found the young man sprawled across
the bed. the whole right side of his head
blown in by the bullet of the heavy army
revolver which was found on the bed
near his hand. The weapon was one
which had been lying about the apart
ment for some time, and which belonged
TO nobody in particular.

The valet ran Immediately to the bath
room and reported his discovery. He was
dispatched post haste for the first physi

with him Dr. f A Bryant, of No. 60
West 4Oth street DR.. Bryant called in
DR.. Pierson, and together they worked
over Mr.. Morgan until about u o'clock,
when he died without having regained
consciousness. DR.. Bryant said the fatal
shot must have been fired about 9:15

apartment a few minutes before the
Young traan's death. Mr.. Laimbeer noti-
fed Mrs. s. Schenck. sister Of Morgan,
who lives in the Hotel Savoy annex. Dr.
Bryant sent for the Coroner. who in
turn let the police know Of the tragedy.
Both Detective Devanney. of the West
3Oth street station, and Coroner Fem
berg put the case down as one of suicide,
and the burial permit was issued.
Mr.. Won Rodenstein said he and young
Morgan had gone out together the night
before TO see a show and returned about
l1:3O o'clock Then they sat up talking
about various subjects of general inter
est until l-:30 Mr.. Morgan, he said,
seemed in perfectly natural spirits and
in splendid health They got up about
the same time in the morning, and Mr..
Morgan went into Mr.. Won Rodensteins
bed chamber. where they chatted a few
minutes about commonplace subjects.
Last Words Telephoned.
The telephone rang then in another
room, and Morgan answered it. Won
Rodenstein heard a fragmentary con-
versation in an even voice. The call,
he said. was from the Clark Estate. No.
l49 Broadway. which owns the apart
ment house Frank II. Presby, manager
of the Clark Estate said last night that
he did not reach his office until 10
o'clock, and that so far as he knew there

Morgan was considered a good tenant,

fed Lv the act William Laimbeer said
Morgan retired from Wall Street two
years ago independently wealthy, and
Mr.. Won Rodenstein added that the
young man had not been speculating
since, confining his activity in stocks to
buying 100 shares or so occasionally.
Neither knew of any love affair, and no
notes were left to explain the tragedy.
There had never been a trace of melan-
cholia in Morgan's conduct.
George Morgan was the son Of
Matthew Morgan, and was born and

ing means to Europe, but figures are
suggestive. One hundred thousand
tourists travelling for an average
length Of three months and spending,
say, $500 apiece for that time, which
is an average very low, would bring
the total amount spent by Americans
on pleasure travel in Europe each
summer up to $5O,O0O,OOO. And in all
likelihood the actual amount is much
greater thar that.
Whether you are contemplating a
trip to Europe or whether you
wouldn't give a button to make the
journey, the great progress being made
by steamship builders should prove of
interest. The big liners of today are
literally floating cities. with every
comfort and convenience known to
man. In fact. the luxury of ocean
travel has now reached such a state of
perfection that land bred and timid
passengers may almost delude them
selves into thinking they are still on
shore, although far NJ at sea. 1t is
difficult to realize that only a few
years ago people on a transatlantic
boat we're deprived for five days Of all
the elementary luxuries. They suf-
fered the lack Of nearly all the little
comforts that ~pertained to a costly
existence ashore. A voyage was a
necessary evil between two ports, and
the gourmet risked his digestion in
the interval between hotels. The trav-
eler in midocean called vainly for the
delicacies Of civilization. but not so
today.

vators save languid limbs the fatigue
