Hamilton, said one aviator today, surmounted more difficulties In half of his 172 mile trip yester day than did Paulhan in the whole of his 186 mile flight for $50,000 Mrs. Hamilton, however, could not restrain her enthusiasm. "I I knew he'd do it, but isn't It wonder- ful?" she said. "I don't think I'm prejudiced when. I say that this latest flight of my husband s is the most magnlflcent . thing that has been done in the air la America since . the pioneer flights of the Wright brothers." 'Mr. - Hamilton was thoroughly prepared, for the flight, and be knows all there Is to know , about the machine, and probably (nore about air conditions than most of the. aviators. , So it was to have been expected, but It Is mighty fine, isn't it?" ' Mrs. B. J. Beaudette, the aviator's mother, is no less enthusiastic than his wife. "They can't get ahead of my boy," said she .today, beaming with pride; "I never doubted his success but I'm' awfully proud Just the same." , ' Hamilton was . still puffing his cigarette when found today. He was not very anxious to, talk, but finall? consented to say a little. One of the chief lessons in this flight is Its proving the possibility of flying over cities," he declared.

(By Cable to The Times.) Como, Italy, June 14 The fifth day of the Lake Como mystery finds the authorities as far away from a solution as when the body of Mrs. Mary Scott Castle Charlton was pull ed from the' bottom of the pictures que lake, jammed in her old theatrl cal trunk. With American Ambas sador Leishman on the scene urging the authorities to do their utmost in unravelling the mystery of the dis appearance of Porter Charlton, the beautiful victim's husband, the case today turned from the search of this locality, for the moment, and is cen tered upon a continental hunt for mysterious woman in black who Is now the most important figure in the mystery This woman, according to the In formation secured by Italy's most ex pert detectives, holds the key to the baffling case At the same time that the search for her was ordered prosecuted to the limit, there came a new discovery of importance. Near the villa, there has been found a cave in which wore hidden workmen's tools and a cart. Was the cave the hiding place of the mur derer? Those are the questions the police set out to answer today. While divers were sent down to ihe bouom of he treacnerous lake today to hunt for the second trunk of the woman and the body of her husband, the authorities scoured the countryside to gather,' bit by ' bit. fragments, of information regarding the veiled woman in brack From the proprietor of the Hotel Jolanda at Cernobbio, the chief vil lage near that portion of the lake shore, where was the Cbarltons' Vi la, the police have pbtainea the full est information regarding this strange woman. From him they learned of her registering as "El- frieda Duchers, age 31, Hamburg," and of her attempt to talk Italian and French with a German accent. But when in her agitation on leani ng of the murder and the arrest of Constantin Ispolatoff, the : Russian, she lapsed into English, she betray ed her nationality. The woman registered on June 9. That night the strange woman re mained away from the inn.: She re appeared shortly after the news of the murder had reached the hotel. WJiirling up in a carriage, she hy sterically demanded of the proprietor the details. "Has the murderer been arrest ed?" she clamored in French that howed no Teutonic faults. When, In the evening, she learned of the ar rest of Ispolatoff, she became great ly agitated and left Immediately, af ter asking when the first train left for Lucerne. When Ispolatoff was taken in hand for further questioning today, the chief line of the authorities was aimed to draw from him at least an inkling of his connection. If he had any, with the veiled woman. The Russian, duelling constantly, with wits as weapons, with the keen est police minds of Italy, maintained his own innocence as he has from the first. A smile and a shrug are the most that can be wrung from him by surprise and all the tricks of the Ital ian authorities noted for the refine ment to which they have reduced the third degree," have proved fruit less. For the most part the police have been compelled to rely, In securing testimony, on the natives, for the most part servants. Foreigners in this district know little of the Charl- tons or refrain from being connected ith the case. American residents in the vicinity of the villa, however, have corrobo rated, according, to statements made by the Investigators today, tho stor ies of weird doings about the Mol- trasio villa of wild dances on the lawn, of riots of destruction within the house. The natives took them for pagan rites, but from all the po lice can learn they were hot at least, Bacchanalian. Those best able to judge can offer no explanation save lunacy. ' --' ' Couht Gutglla, the procurator, to day declared Porter Charlton a fug itive. "He is wanted on a charge of wife murder," he said. -"We believe he will try to land In New York." i Charlton's arrest has been ordered, but still the search for his body goes BOY 111: HAS E)K8 EXPEiL'C.

Smashed He Rose Again and FleW Over Brooklyn, Where He Finally ' Landed by the Aid of the Fire men Hw Had Varied Experience (By Cable to The Times.) - New York, - June 14 Robert Owens, a boy aeronaut, set all lower New York in a flutter of excitement and drew several hundred thousand : of people from the office buildings to the streets today by sailing from Newark, N.

In sight dI -the thousand who watched him, breathless, Owen threw out his anchor as he started, to rise again. ' He smashed' his propeller rod and then, in an effort) to descend, he be gan to let the gas out of the balloon'. Then he changed his mind about descending, closed the gas valve and hauled In his anchor. V " ' The wind then carried the daring aeronaut, several hundred feet above , the city court building and the d!rl- glble started toward Brooklyn. The airship swerved toward the Brooklyn -bridge, began to descend again al most to a level with the roadway, nearly struck New TJork tower of the ' bridge, and then started Brooklyn ward again as he lightened his load of ballast. The last New Yorkers saw of the big cigar-shaped balloon was as it sailed over Brooklyn Heights. ; . ' 1 The airship took a southeasterly course in Its flight ' over. Brooklyn; sagging perilously low and narrowly avoiding several of the higher busi ness buildings and steeples It pass ed over. The crowds in the streets that followed Its course noticed that it was slowly but surely dropping; and finally at Gates and Nostrand ave-t nues It had came down so close to earth that the branches of a tree hit the gas bag a blow that landed it la , a tangle of electric wires directly over the roadway.
