Ayiators F. Samura and T. Inouye,
skilled Japanese airmen who have
been trained In America, cannot fly
at M0analua field tomorrow afternoon.
A letter written from the city and
county attorney's office about noon to-
day declines to allow the Japanese
ayiators to proceed with their plans
for series Of bipis1e flights at the

these grounds are particularly risky

Is such that any ascent is dangerous.
and the city and county authorities
are unwilling to allow the birdmen to
risk their lives and the lives OF spec

Deputy Attorney Brown. stating to-
day that the flight could not take
place, said that the ayiators would be
Immediately notified from his office.

FINE DEL|NQUENTS,
REWARD EFFICIENT

That he was not sleeping, but sim
ply reclining, was the defense entered
before the Board of Police Commits
sioners by Justin Mccarthy, when he
was hailed before that body yesterday.
He was charged by Sergeant Bonnet
with being asleep in the chauffeur's
room of the City Hospital on Febru-
airy u, when he should have been
doing duty. The police commissioners
adjudged him guilty and ordered him
fined five days pay.
Patrolman Frank A. Carroll, of the
Fifth precinct was fined two days
pay when found guilty of sending in
a late duty call. Two charges of miss
ing duty calls were made against
Patrolman John f. Costello, of the
Second precinct. He was fined one
days pay and transferred to the Sew
enth precinct. Patrolman George ID.
Callen, of the Seventh, was trans
ferred to the Second to take Co.'S
tello's place there.
The police commissioners rejected
all bids for motorcycles because of the
failure of the representative of the
Indian Company to submit a figure in
strict accordance with the specifica-
tons. The board did not order new
bids advertised and this is made the
basis for the belief that the machines
in use at present may be kept another
year.
The names of the following detec-
tives were ordered placed on the meri-
torious record: Lieutenants Meehan,
Donovan, Mcmahon and Fohs, for the
capture of two burglars; Andrew
Everson and Frederick McMunn; Ser
geant Charles O'Gara and Detective
Harry Corbitt, for the arrest of Anton
Golombos who yesterday entered a
plea of guilty to robbing three houses.

EIOper Seeks Court Aid to
Stop Father AnnuIing Marriage

NEW YORK. March 27.-An elope-
ment bride, who is only seventeen
years old, used old law in a new way
yesterday in an attempt to prevent
her father from trying to have the
marriage annuled. The young woman
is Mrs. Horsinia Muller Huber and
the father is Adrian Muller, real
estate dealer, auctioneer and pro-
moter. What she asked the Supreme
Court to do was to appoint her nus
band guardian ad Item to seek an
injunction to restrain Mr.. Muller
from starting an annulment suit.
Il was the first application ever
made in New York for such a reason,
and it was granted. Mrs Huber told
the court that her father had caused
her husband to be indicted for abdue-
ton, had threatened to kidnap her
and had taken her wedding ring and
marriage license. Mrs Huber said in
her petition that her mother. who
died at Lakewood, y. J., on Febru
AIRY y. 1911. had been separated from
her father for some years.
