WOMAN HELD UP IN HOME.
Two Armed Men Take Money and
Gems I'm Harlem Apartment.

Two men with revolvers broke into the
apartment of Mrs. Dollie Gray at sol
West 12+th street at 40 o'clock last
night. They robbed her OF all her money
and jewelry and much of her clothing
and escaped. after frightening her so that
1t was several hours before she dared
give an alarm. The police learned OF
the holdup about midnight.
1t was impossible to estimate the
amount OF the loot last night as Mrs,
Gray was too hysterical to give detailed
information. From what she said.
though. the detectives are looking for a
man known in Harlem as Louis. He
walks with limp and has scar across
his face.
Mrs. Gray told the police that just az
she was waiting for dinner two men ac-
costed her in her private hall. forced her
into the front rooms and there made their
demands for money. She gave them what
she had. or told them where TO find It.
Before escaping they warned her that II
she made an outcry or warned the police
they would come back and give her such
a dose OF lead that her friends would not
recognize her"

That clause. beyond a doubt. il the
reason the letters and printed circulars
enclosed SIRE being received here by busi-
ness men who never heard of Dave. such
as a dealer in metals who has an office

the letters in his mail yesterday and sent
II along to THE SUN.
! Besides the ecstasy of getting that
photograph of Dave which he mentions

circular which shows that you can't pos
sibly lose. For-"The sums collected by

No fair, either for Americans oil
Frenchmen now in Italy. to send a whole
wad OF money to Dave or Al. The cir
cular says that all letters that harper
to come from Italy. and those that can
not be authenticated. will be returned
The circular is very strict about this.
Even with the fifteen days more thai
we Americans have than the French
there Is grave danger that those thrift,
French farmers and shop keepers are
sending loads of money trying to bea
us. You know how the French are abou
those things.
Dave writes just where to send thu

Florentine address in here. Somebod,

equally good reason which the circular
does not 60 into. the other gentlemen
pleaded with Dave and Al ito settle this
regrettable affair, and It was decided as

spectability and hanorableness of the
individuals concerned. they respect

B-That another demonstration was

Of their two representatives width a
duel would not modify in any way

C-That the best solution would be
a wager between Messrs. A. de Mu-

Thereupon Dave and Al accept the ar

AMERICA WITH LOAD
RISES FROM WATER
Wanamaker Seaplane Answers
Test, Making Unofficial
Record.

MoNDsPoRr, n. y, June 2I.-Seven
men flew over Lake Keuka this afternoon
In Rodman Wanamaker's transatlantic
fiying boat America. Their weight to-
sether with sand ballast and gasolene
totalled I,5l3 pounds OF useful load This
number of passengers is more than was
ever carried in flying machine in the
country before. and Is said to be n worlds
record for flying boats. The weight car
ried was three times the weight carrying
record In the United States for any kind
Of a flying machine.
Lieut.. John Cyril Porte, r. N, who IN
to pilot the machine from Newfoundland
to Ireland by way of the Azores. was at
the wheel and George Hallett. his flying
partner. was In charge OF the motors.
The passengers were william ID. Cash
of New York. who is here representing
Mr.. Wanamaker: Herbert Duckworth Of
the London Daily Mail: Henry Kleckler,
one of the Americas designers: George
Robinson and James Lamonte, mechanics.
The load was within 500 pounds of
what the America will be required to
carry In her transatlantic flight. Glenn
II. Curtiss. the builder. and Lieut.. Porte
were delighted with the test.
The America demonstrated her ability
TO do the work that will eventually be
required Of her better than she has In any
Of the previous tests. She got on the
water with a load. and that is the SUI
preme test. When slight changes are
made In her hydroplane boards she
will be tried with a full transatlantic
load.
1T was like being on the Imperator."
Mr.. Cash said after his flight, "She
rides Just as steady as the biggest ship
you were ever on. I few yesterday with
Mr.. Wildman In one OF the regular fly
ing boats. There Ii Just as much differ-
ence between the two,as there is between
a rowboat and a liner
"In order to satisfy myself that the new
hydroplane surfaces would stand the
weight ran her back over the water nj
full speed" Lieut. Porte said. "She took
the air with the propellers throttled down
to 100 revolutions per rN!nu'""
Mr.. Curtiss In q fast water scooter
circled around the America to note the
action OF the water planes. She planed
500 pounds better than she did on her
previous flights, he said. but the hydro
plane surfaces will he iessened and moved
further back. Small tail fms will b
