Peck was ready to fly at 5:45 o'clock
and an attempt was made to start. The
spectators remained in the path of the

band stand toward Arlington.
Peck gave the signal. and commenced
the run across the field. but was forced
to throttle his engine to save several
persons from injury. Hoping to avoid

West and practice law. II replied" says
Mr.. Lafferty, in his statement that
there was no offense involved in the
sending OF the letter, but that to put
up money to suppress a story would be
an offense, and that I would not do it."
Matters drifted along until a short
time ago, when Mr.. Lafferty received a
registered letter from the father threat
ening violence. Il replied to this let
ter" says Mr.. Lafferty. that I could
be found unarmed in my office alone
every day from noon until / o'clock.
while my secretary is at lunch. and that
any one desiring to try a hand in lick
ing me was cordially invited to call at
that hour"
AS nobody came TO see him, much less
to attack him, Mr.. Lafferty undertook
some Shelock Holmes investigation on
his own part. When he examined the
letter which he had received, he found
1t was watermarked Mount HOOD" and
learned from Kelloggs stationery di-
rectory that this paper was manufac-
tured only for the J. X. Gill Company,
Of Portland. Greg. This convinced him
that the persistent agitation Of the mat
ter and the attempt to give him trouble
was the work of political and personal
enemies in Oregon. and this belief. he
says. has been confirmed by further de-
velopments.
Inspiration of Attack.
Mr.. Lafferty finds the inspiration for
the attack upon him in a speech which
he recently made on the floor of the
House in favor OF enforcing the Oregon
and California railroad land grant, insist
ing that the government was pursuing
false theory in asking for a forfeiture
instead of seeking TO enforce the grant
II am the only man. says Mr.. Laf-
ferty, that the railroad company needs
to fear, and II they can destroy me 1t
will inure greatly to their benefit"
Mr.. Lafferty does not assert that the
secret service department or the 'rail-
road company is doing him any harm
with the knowledge OF the head officers
of the company, but I do know he
says. they have two detectives here
from San Francisco watching every
move that I make" In a statement to
the Portland Oregonian, Mr.. Lafferty
goes into some detail as to his expert
ences with these detectives.
AS indicating the extent of the effort
to trap him, Mr.. Lafferty says that his
record as a lawyer and as a public OFF,
Ger in Missouri and Oregon has been
searched. and as nothing has
been found against him, and as he is a
bachelor, the attempt is now being made
to besmirch his character. Mr.. Lafferty
says, however. that the effort will be a
signal failure
II shall not be diverted from my work,
nor humiliate myself or my constituents
by giving further notice to the libels
that have been published against me un-
less It becomes imperative to do So"
When seen last night by a Herald re-
porter, Mr.. Lafferty was not disturbed
over the situation, and said that he
would continue his fight against the rail-
road no matter If the force of detec-
tives now employed both in Portland
and in Washington was doubled, because
he knew that nothing could be found
against him which would give the
slightest uneasiness.

evidence thereof throughout the evening.

that they had never witnessed a better
programme. or one that afforded more
genuine enjoyment.
Probably no one OF them was more
delighted than the noted aviator, Lin

saw the pictures which he took while
navigating his aeroplane with one hand
100 feet above Wilkesbarre, and operat-
ing a motion picture machine with the
other. His daring work has rarely, il
ever, been equaled, and the excellence
OF the pictures convey a most vivid i'm

sees from his elevated position but also
of the feelings he experiences.
The feature of the evening was the

at Temple Bar and Guildhall, presented

Ling Nye, a Chinaman at 5S c street
northwest, rified the cash drawer of
$l2O, and leaving the place in a topsy-
turvy condition, made their escape. The
thieves took advantage of the absence
of the two Cinnamon, who had left to
go to the Chinese resorts in Pennsyl-
vania avenue earlier in the evening.
1t is thought that the person or per-
sons who robbed the place are acquainted
with the Cinnamon. for the money was
hidden in a drawer under bundles of
clothing.
The police were delayed IN beginning
a search for the thieves by the inability
of the Cinnamon to make known the
robbery. For nearly a half hour the two
Orientals performed agitated gestures at
the station in an effort to file their com
plant. Finally they regained control of
the little English at their command and

Vanishing as completely as though she
had been nothing but a wreath of smoke
followed several weeks later by the mys-
terious disappearance of her husband,
Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. DeAtley, proprietors
of a restaurant at 1922 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest, are being sought by
the police of nearly every city in the
United States.
Not the slightest trace or clew has
been obtained as to where the couple
has departed. and no motive can be
given for their departure. Mrs. Amanda
DeAtley was known to hundreds of
friends in Washington. 1t was about
July 20 when she bade her husband good
by for the afternoon only, and left the
house, dressed in a handsome gown of
brown silk, suede shoes, and picture
hat. She had quite a sum of money
with her at the time, and, according to
her husband, she was going on a shop
ping tour OF the various merchandise
shops.
Had Never Qunreled.
She never returned to the restaurant.
Day after day her husband. almost
frantic with grief and apprehensions. sat
in his office, brooding and melancholy
over the strange actions of the wife of

married life. never quarreling, and al
ways We're on the best of terms.

longer be borne. and then he was forced

notice was sent to the authorities in
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and
other large cities of the East, all with
out avail. Not a trace could be dis
covered of the missing woman, who is
twenty-five years old.
Just a week ago DeAtley went to
police headquarters and obtained letters
of introduction to the chiefs of police
of Chicago and Des Moines, thinking
that perhaps a personal search of these
two cities would be rewarded. The let
tiers were never delivered, and DeAtley
also has vanished as completely as did
his wife.
