Alp]nonso jury Disagrees
saioonkeeper, Charged With
Mansiaughter, Due for New
Trial

After several hours deliberation, the
jury in the case of Antonio de Al
pkonso, saloonkeeper at 155 Blocker
Street, on trial for manslaupbter.
failed to reach an agreement yesterday
and was discharged by Justice Davis.
IT the criminal branch of the Supreme
Court. The specific charge against the
defendant is that he caused the death
Of Clinton Arnold, of Springfield,
Mass, in October Of 1917 by selling
him whiskey which was alleged to have
contained wood alcohol. Altogether.
De Alphonso is alleged to have caused
the death of eight men in this way.
Another trial for Alphonso is in
prospect.
During the trial Assistant District
Attorney, Banton brought out that
some of the whiskey seized at De AL
phonso's saloon contained as high as
Al per cent wood alcohol. The de-
fence of De Alphonso was that he
bought all this liquor from friend
who obtained it at auction and that
he did not know it contained wood
alcohol.

Difficulties at the Start

UNFORTUNATELY difficulties arise from
the start in applying these methods
with accuracy. This is true because
the airpane is at the mercy Of the
wind and appears to move in the di
rection in which the wind blows with
the speed at which it is blown. In
the second place the speed of the air
plane is from five to ten times that Of
the commercial vessel.
THE high speed of the airplane
renders it necessary to make FREQUENT
observations for position, and this in
turn makes it undesirable to use the
slow, albeit accurate means of ca1cula-
tion ordinarily employed. In conse-
Quence, special charts have been devised
for use with the sun or stars which en-
able the pilot to fix his position in a
very short time, although not with the
accuracy demanded in marine work

Sues Husband and Wife
And Charges Conspiracy

Charging that he was the victim of
conspiracy perpetrated by Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank F. Carroll to mulct him Of
large amount of money, Merrill B.
Mills yesterday filed suit in the Su
preme Court to recover $15 900, alleged
to have been paid by him to Mrs.
Carroll, and to estop the couple from
transferring or dscounting his note
for $4,000 According to Mr. Mills.
Mrs. Carroll obtained the money and
note from him partly through threats
to attack his character and iniure him
IN his social and business standing and
partly through a story Of misfortune.
Mrs. Carroll, it is alleged. acting in CO.
operation with her husband, repre-
sented herself as a single women, who
was pennilcss and without means Of
support. She also represented, the
plaintiff alleges, that her mother was
at the point of death and that she must
20 TO her, but was RELUCTANT to leave
Mr.. Mills, whom she haF been nursing
and who still was in feeble condi-
ton.
Mr.. Mills said that he was under
no legal or moral obligation to give
Mrs. Carroll the money, or the note,
which was made payable at the office
Of the Banner Cigar Manufacturing
Company, at Detroit. He alleged that
re learned later that Mrs. Carroll was
married and that her husband was en-
gagged in a lucrative business.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll claim that there
was valid consideration for both the
cash payment and the note. and ask for
a Judgment for $4,000, the amount of
the unpaid note.

Mystery in the Death of Aged

Discovers Body

At o'clock yesterday morning
twelve-year-old Nathan Brody ran ex-
citedly into the kitchen of his home
at 104o Herkimer Street, Brooklyn.
where his mother was washing the
breakfast dishes.
Mamma" he cried, "old man Mccoy
has been sleeping in his back yard
for long time"
This was interesting, and Mrs. Brody
bustled out to investigate. Her house
abuts the little confectionery shop at
1890 Fulton Street, which Hugh Nc
Coy has kept and over which he and
his wife lived for forty years.
When the neighbor woman reached
the Mccoy yard she found the aged
confectioner lying with his face in q
pool of blood in the concrete rain
basin at the corner Of the building.
He had been dead for some time, His
Juglar vein was slashed through on
the right side, and there was another
wound in the front of his neck.
No weapon was found save an old
pocketknife, closed and without blood
STAINS, IN McCoy's trousers pocket.
Mccoy was sixty-nine years old His
wife is sixty-tive Last night, she told
the police, they had callers and did not
retire until 1880. An hour later she
entered her husbands room to inquire
If he wanted an additional blanket.
AT that time, she says, he was un-
dressed and in bed
When McCoy's body was discovered
this morning it was fully clothed, even
to the hat, which was drawn low over
the forehead.

Daniels Aims TO Reciprocate the
Cordial Welcome Ciren TO

Neto York Tribuna
Wash tnGtO1a RMrern

" uSHtHGtO1t bureau
WASHINGTON, June 14-Indication
that the Atlantic may be bridgcd from
the Old World to the New within the
next fortnight by the British dirigible
R-34, was contained in an announce
ment made here to-day by Secretary
Daniels that the R-34, which is ex-
pected to leave England June 26 will
be given a base at Mineola Field, Long
Island.
Bearing in mind the enthusiastic
welcome given United States seaplanes
in England the Navy, according to
Secretary Daniels, will reciprocate to
the full extent of its ability The
landing at Mincola Field will be di
rected by American naval aviation
officers and crews from stations along
the Atlantic coast. All supplies for
refuelling, regassing and reballasting
the R-34 will be supplied by the United
States Navy.
Because this country lacks hangar
suitable for the enormous craft, the
R-34 is expected to make only short
stay at Mneola.
In pointing out some of the practical
difficulties incidental to lodging the
R-34 in an open field naval aviators
here recall the fate of the American
blimp that was lost in a storm after
following the Nancy planes toward
Trepassey.
