of water became so great that the

washed out. AS result the river at

WILL DRAG LAKE
FOR ARNOLD GIRL
Police Take Little Stock in Foul Play
Theory, But Will Satisfy Family
Buffalo Offers Clue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3O.-Because OF
a report that Dorothy Arnold, the
missing daughter OF millionaire Fran.
: els X. Arnold, was seen In the neigh
borhood OF Central Park, late on the
afternoon OF Dec. IL. the day she dis
appeared. the lakes and reservoirs
in the park will be dragged probably
tomorrow.
Mr.. Arnold has contended from the
beginning that his daughter met with
foul play. while walking through the
Park, EN- route to her home. The
weather on the day the girl disap-
peared was fine and bracing. with
freezing temperature late In the at
ternoon. That night the lake in Cen
lral Park froze and remained frozen
for couple OF weeks. Then the ice
melted but the lake has been frozen
twice since.
The police take little stock In the
foul play theory, but have decided TO
have the lake dragged TO satisfy the
family. They have asked the Buffalo
police TO investigate letter received
today, which was supposed TO have
been written from Buffalo hospital.
IL read as follows:
Mr.. Arnold: There is lady here.
She Is sick in bed. Come and see."
The police are still following up
clues, furnished by members OF the
family, but those In charge OF the
case. express themselves as confident
,that the missing girl is all right and
that she will finally decide TO COM
munieate with her family.

Great Throng Sees Start
From Florida Coast

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 30--In view
of thousands of spectators, ]. A. D.
McCurdy started from Trumbo Field
in his biplane for a flight OF about
lis miles, to Havana, at 1882 o'clocl;
this morning. The torpedo destroyers
far out In the gulf had reported fairly
good weather and the daring young
aviator decided that he would wait
no longer. Half the citizens OF Key
West had been up since daybreak In
anticipation OF the fight, which had
kept the community In state of anxi-
Gus expectation for a week.
McCurdy rose gracefully and with
his machine under perfect control, cir.
cled twice over the field and then took
mis- course toward Sand Key. The start
was successful from every point Of
view, and the crowd sent roars of APP
clause after him until he passed out
OF sight. At S:14 o'clock. when he
had been in the air about AZ minutes
McCurdy passed over the torpedo de-
stroyer Roe, at a point about twenty
miles on. in the gulf.
While DOMINIC his cap. goggles and
pneumatic life jacket, McCuriy chat
ted pleasantly as the crowd stood
about in awe at the aviator's daring.
Just before he set his engine whir
ring for the long trip, McCurdy said:
Il believe / can pull through, but |
am afraid ] may lose my aeroplane H.
the water Is rough. Ny speed will be
about sixty miles an hour. and | shall
probably fly az an altitude of 1000
feet"
McCurdy wore an ordinary gray
business suit, and as he took his seat
In the machine, he was as calm as a
chauffeur getting ready for an ordinary
