Hearing the jail door slam too, Mr..
Cogbill looked around and detected
the fleeing negro running across the
jail yard. lie drew his pistol ana,
breaking one Of the window glasses,

was fast disappearing IN the nearby

1t being Sunday, no people were
around the jail, and II was some time
before Mr. Cogbill could let 1t be
known that he was prisoner I'm his

BIC BANKING FIRM
CLAIM LONG LEASE
JOHN l.. WILLIAMS & SONS SAY
THEY HAVE CONTRACT TO
MARCH, 1919.

The erection of the giant skyscraper
railroad building on tho site OF the
present Chamber of Commerce is large
ly dependent upon the action of John
l.. Williams & Sons, bankers. who oc
cupy the ground floor to the building,
and who claim that they cannot vacate
by April ]. 1911, because suitable quar-
ters for their business cannot be OBJ
tanned.
There seems to be difference of
opinion between the banking firm and
the Chamber of Commerce as to the
time limit on the lease OF the office by
the bankers. John l.. williams & Sons
claim that their lease does not expire
until March /. 1919. The Chamber of
Commerce contend that the least ex-
pires February rs. 1911. 1t In possible
that the case will be taken to court for
a ruling on the lease.

MAKES FINE START
FROM KEY WEST

KEY WEST, Fla, Jan. 30.--1n the
presence of thousands of spectators
j. A. d. McCurdy started from Trum-
ho field in his hiplane for flight of
about l15 miles over the Gulf of
Mexico to Havana at 7:32 o'clock
central time) this morning. The tor
pedo destroyers far out in the Gulf
had reported fairy good weather
and the daring young aviator decided
that he would waiJ no longer. Half
the cirfzeffs Of Key West had been
up since daybreak in anticipation of
the flight. which has kept the com
munity in a state of anxious expecta-
ton for a week
McCurdy rose as gracefully as a
sea gull, and with his machine under
perfect control ctrcled the field twice
and then took his course toward Sand
Key, The start MAS successful from
every point Of view, and the crowd
sent roars Of applause 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 destroyer Roe, at a
point about twenty miles out In the
gulf. While DOMINIC his cap, goggles
ana pneumatic life preserving packet.
McCurdy chatted pleasantly with the
United Press correspondent as the
crowd stood about in awe at the avi-
ators daring. McCurdy seemed to be
the most composed man present
Just before he set his engine whir-
ring for the long trip McCurdy said:
The weather conditions are hard
y ideal, but ] must hope for the best.
Much depends upon the condition OF
the sea if ! am forced to drop into
the gulf.
Il believe ] can pull through In
such an event, but | am afraid l may
lost my aeroplane If the water is
rough. My speed win be about sixty
miles an hour. and / shall probably
fly at an altitude Of 1000 feet. If
my motor does not fail me | feel con-
fident of success"
McCnrdy 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 ordi-
nary automobile spin.
The destroyer Paulding was the
only boat in the torpedo fleet equip
ped with platform from which a
new flight could be made in case Nc
