New York. Nov. IS. Airmen hav op
eratic stars beaten to a . f raisle tor
nerves. That Is the unanimous verdict
of men who have been brought Into

tists. As a result the men who get up
iverlal meets are In for flays of trouble
: iod nights of worry.: ; v v 5 ' -
The recent International meet at Bel
mont Park gave American promoters
their first real taste of the vagaries of
the men birds.. The protests, charges
M-f favoritism and unfair treatment rival
.lnners and the like, bids fair to split
the Aero club and brlns flying as a
rpott more or. less Into disrepute. .
The trouble is that these stars, of the
r eronauts are'waklng too much money
rod as a natural result surfer from ex
; jgerated ego of a particularly virulent
type. Some day they will get down to
i arth and then flying meets, Will go

many famous hotel thieve. " On noted
rharacter, after dissipating the fortune
lie made 2y writing plays, adopted
thievery as a means of livelihood, and
became one of the slickest hotel thieves
over known. ' His method was to enter,
a large hotel,, carrying a 4 cane : and
. Iressed In the height of fashion, and to
wait for one of the guest of the hotel
to enter the writing room with a suit
case. While 'the guest was absorbed in
writing, this man would, pick up the
fuitcase and walk calmly out For
many years he baffled every hotel de
tective in the country, and In all prob
ability would have continued hi thlev
cry had he not strolled into the Holland
House one night last faU. v ,
As usual, he waited until a favorably
pportunity- came, then picking Up "a
suitcase in the writing room, walked
out., Williams, who ha often : been

after following the man oat of the hotel
for a re blocks arrested him. The

But what wa acknowledged a one of
the shrewdest piece of detective work
ever executed, wn the recovery bv Mr.
Williams of $iy,000 worth of Jewels be

ter of the late General Grant.: Mrs. Bar

Case, 'v Mr. Satorrls wa , uncertain
whether ehe had lost the Jewel in the
hotel or on the street, and a short time
. later, the ; New. York detective were
forced to own that they were completely
baffled. Netr so Mr. William, however.
Getting a list of the streets and places
Mrs. Sartorl had been on the day of th
robbery he began a :systematlo search

By one of the most brilliant pieces of
