failure to call Mr. Wood to tho etand
after he waa subpoenaed as witness In
the Richards case was not due ts any
fault of the police department, or, in
deed, . of anybody, Deputy City Attor.
ney FlUgerald thought enough evidence
had been submitted to the Jury to war
rant a oonvictlon beyond the shadow of
reasonable doubt and therefor am
not call Mr. Wood and a number of
others who bad been subpoenaed. That
conviction waa not obtained waa not
due to any fault Of the police or ef the

"I repeat max mi metier is now up
to Mr. Wood. : He has mads state

New Tork. Jan. 1. John P. Holland,
Inventor of the submarine boat, an
nounces that he has invented an airship
which be la confident will be as success
ful la axnlorln soaoe as his previous
efforts have been euooeseful In fathom-
in the secret of the deep, Bpeamng
of his Invention he said:
"I propose personally to test my fly

confident that I shall be able to soar
through the air from my home in
Newark to my office at No. I Nassau

ease. Within II months we will all be
able to fly." - ;
-The fact that Mr. Holland 1 no mere
theorist, but a man who he achieved
what waa one believed to be impossi
ble in the Invention of navigable ub
marina craft, renders his statement of
unusual and authoritative Interest. The
United States naval authorities laughed
at his submarine project II years ago,
but It did not deter him tn the aooom-
ptfshment ' of hie purpos He l a
positive today that no will hav sue
oessfull solved the problem of . aerial
locomotion within the twelve-month.
When I aar that we Will all n using

TMriarlbla balloons and the eombinev-
tlon of aeroplane end balloon navigated
by Knabanahue over New Tork win
never become practical I or ordinary
aerial navigation, becauee of the gas
bag necessary to sustain them tn their
flight There le to much resistance
to the air In- the gaa bag balloons and
they will shortly be done away with.
In their place will be substituted the
aeroplanes and flying machine. The
aeroplane with gasoline motors will be
used for flight or more man ne person
for commercial purposes and the transit
of the mall. The flying machine will
be used for one-men aerial locomotion.
"I do not anticipate any great aim-
eulty In making my aerial flight from
Newark to New Tork. The heed wind
that sweep In from the sea will prove
the one - danger.- but with properly
constructed flying machine, . ne mine
will be when I essay the attempt there
ehould be practically no danger. :
"I do not baa my neue f in the future
