YoungC German Pilot
Who Made LOngH Hop
On Visit to Capital
'SThe Baron Comes Here
Without His Famous Mas.
cots for Informal Call.

Minus his famous blue-eyed Persian
cat, his two horned toads and the little
German flivver airplane which carried
him and his pets around the world
(barring only the oceans), Baron
Friedrich Karl Freiherr Koenig Won
und Zu Warthausen, better known to
his American friends as "the Baron"
arrived in the National Capital today
by railroad for a brief visit before re-
turning to Germany.
The young German airman, only %
years old, won the Hindenburg Cup and
a 10,000-mark cash prize year ago
from the Aeronautic Union of Germany
for a cross-country flight which es-
tabliShed some sort of a record. So
we'll did he like the experience that
he decided to make an airplane trip
around the world.
Used KIemm- Daimler.
For his argosy he selected little
Klemm Daimler low-wing monoplane
powered with two-cylinder Mercedes
Benz air-cooled engine, which is said to
burn less than two gallons Of gasoline
per hour. This ship he christened
Kamerad. The Klemm- Daimler now is
being manufactured in this country as
the Aeromarine-K lemm. It was devel-
oped originally from highly successful
German glider and has a wing spread
Of 43 feet.
Leaving Berlin more than year ago,
with no pets, the baron flew to Moscow
and then turned southwark. In Siam
he received his first pet, a white china
blue-eyed Siamese cat, presented to him,
1t is said, by the Crown Princess of
Siam.
The baron continued with his cat to
Toxic, where the plane was loaded
aboard ship for San Francisco. Arriving
there two or three months ago, he be-
gan an extensive and leisurely tour Of
the United States. His first accident
during nearly year of flying occurred
at Sweetwater, Tex, when he landed in
days later, in FL Paso, he was hurt in
a taxicab accident, which put him in
a hospital for six weeks.
Met Cowboy Artist.
While in the hospital he met num-
Der of adventuresome Texans. among
them Oscar H Strobel,, jr, cowboy
artist, who crashed" the front pages
recently when he picked up the wrong
suitcase when he got off the train and
found himself in possession of $780,
900 in securities and two bottles OF
liquor. Strobel returned the securities
and received the two bottles by way OF
reward, it is said.
The baron purchased one OF Strobels
pictures and was so well pleased with
the work that he sponsored an exhibit
ton which resulted in the Texas painter
receiving Berlin scholarship and a
trip to Europe.
The baron and his Siamese cat also
received flying company while he was
in the hospital when John Eichelberger,
known as the Horned Toad King"
gave him a pair of the little spiny
monstrosities.
The visit to this city is informal and
includes a luncheon at the German en-
bassy and visits with Government aero
nautical officials.

"CAP'N" STREETER HEIRS
FILE 1000, 900 CLAIM
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 13.-Heirs OF
"Cap'n" George wellington Streeter
who for years waged q fight for posses
sion Of portion of the Chicago lake
front, valued at $780, 100000, have taken
UP the picturesque old squatter's legal
battle
A bill filed in behalf. of the heirs IN
court here today seeks $5,000,0 900 dam
ages from present holders OF the land.
They claim Capt Streeter settled on
the lake front on July 10, 1885. and
established clear title to the land, which
with the shifting shore line now en-
conpasses the enormously valuable
property
The turbulent old "Cap'n' and MA
Streeter guarded with muskets for many
years the land they claimed. When
the 'buccaneer" died his aged mate
carried on. Since the death Of Ma,
the 1876 acres claimed, became the sites

declared he expected the revolutionary
situation in Sonora to clear up in 10
days.
On the American side Of the border
plans still went forward for the pro-
lection of American lives and interests
in the event of a battle.
Brig. Gen. Frank S. Cocheu ordered
third troop of the 10th United States
Cavalry and another company of the
25th Infantry to Naco from Fort Hua-
chua.
An alteration between United States
and Mexican troops, the details of
which have not been learned, was re-
ported today at Crook Tunnel, on the
Southern Pacific Railway line seven
miles east of Naco, AriZ.
ExtraditiOn Unlikely.
It was stated today in diplomatic
circles that any hope of extraditing
rebel leaders who crossed the border
into the United States, as several
already have, Is most unlikely to be
realized since under international law
they have the status of belligerents and
are entitled to asylum.
It had been suggested that such in
surgents might be extradited on charges
of looting banks or destroying railroad
property. but it was pointed out that
even though the United States con-
dennis such actions it would be UNI
precedented to permit extradition OF
belligerents on such grounds.
1t was explained, however, that If
any American citizen is robbed in
Mexico by a rebel he has the right to
institute action In the United States
courts for recovery of his property if
the rebel he accuses has crossed into
the United States.

NEW DEFECTS SEEN
IN MUSEUM DOME
Engineers Supervising Re-
pairs Find Roof Faulty-Im-
provement Is Ordered.

Another defect has been discovered
in the New National Museum of the
Smithsonian Institution, whose dome is
now under repair to prevent 1t from
collapsing.
Engineers have discovered that the
entire roof graded system was not hold
ing up and that a new scheme for
carrying off the water was necessary.
The supervising architect of the
Treasury, in charge of construction and
repair of Federal buildings, has opened
bids on the job and received only one
bid, from Frank L. Wagner, Inc, of
this city for $5,055. The bid is under
consideration by the board of awards,
but contract has not yet been let.
The New National Museum is a build
ing of comparatively recent construc-
ton, but serious flaws began appearing
a few years ago. The arches support
ing the dome began spreading to such
an extent that engineers testified be-
fore congressional committee that the
structure was not safe. as there was
danger of the dome falling into the ro-
tunda, more than 80 feet below.
