Chicago, Feb. 17.-Keith Dal-
rymple wore flashy clothing and for
this reason was taken to the police
station by detectives yesterday.
Had it not been for this Dalrym-

The bureau of identification gave
up nothing of a damaging character
with reference to the young man

velop an old circular seeking him.
Young Dalrymple ran away from his
home at Sloan Springs, Ark, in
1908. His father prospered in the
oil business and moved to Port AL

years ago.
After leaving home young Dali

Miami, Feb. 17.-"Yes, I am GER
tainiy going to fly over the Allan
tic," said Norman Selby. better
known as Kid Mccoy, the former
pugilist, when seen by a reporter
yesterday.
Mr.. Selby has just returned from
Cuba and. despite his sporting pro-
clivities, likes Miami far better than
he does the island where there are
big horse races and other lively
things that go to make up city

Mr.. Selby will visit Palm Beach
frequently for the purpose Of prac-
ticing with the Curtis hydroaero-
planes of the Hon. Frederick Eden.
1T only takes the nerve to do the
trick" said the former ring cham
pion. while discussing his proposed
new adventure yesterday, and he
feels perfectly confident that he will
accomplish the feat. "All 1t needs"

with confidence. 81 have plenty Of
backing and an abundance Of nerve
and have no fear of the result.
THE Americas trials showed the

tends that the feat can be accom-
plished.
my biplane, or hydroplane as you
may term it, will be as large as the
America which Rodman Wannamak-
er built, and which is now doing
great work abroad in the war zone.
Since the present war started the
development of this type of machine
has been rapid and we are nowhere
near the end of the possibilities in
aerial navigation.
The former pugilist believes in
preparedness and it is his one desire
to make the necessary demonstration
that will drive home the great need
of this country for preparedness.
He feels that there is no better dem
onstration of the efficiency at hand.
Mr.. Selby was busy all day yester-
day seeing the sights about Miami.
He chartered an automobile early in
the day and proceeded to Cocoanut
