Atwood, the aviator, why made a flight over Boston Harbor yesterday In his biplane, arrived for the Yale-Harvard races, by the aero route this morning, and tu the amazement and huge delight of the thousauda of race-day spectators, made an air cruise over the lower part of the The whirr of the twin propellers first attracted attention about 9 o'clock. There aloft, not ov.er BOO feet, swept the biplane.

Atwood waved his hand, and below on the river steam yachts began tooting, and the people on them catching" up bunting and flags, made the lane of yachts a riot of color. In a graceful circle Atwood turned up river! passing over the drawbridge, and then volplaning and making a landing on the hill behind the Riverside Iron Works on the west bank. Atwood reported a magnificent trip from Boston, which city he left at an early hour. He was reported at at 7:30, and could have entered his name in a registry book at the railroad station here at 9:10 If he had risked a descent at that point. -Mr.

Atwood, after landing, came Into the city In an automobile and with him came his passenger on the trip through the air. The route followed from Boston was through Qulncy, Brockton, Bridge-water, Middleboro, Newport, across Nar-ragansett Bay to Kingston, R. 1., and then over the railroad tracks to this city. Mr. Atwood lays claim to the breaking of the world's record for a flight with a passenger.

A funny Incident to the crowd which rushed to the field where the biplane rested, but a disngreeable one to Atwood, was that the owner of the land ordered Atwood to get off. A party of New London business men rushed to Riverside to find accommodations for Atwood and his machine. The distance Atwkood covered he approximates at miles. He said that conditions were almost ideal, except that fog was encountered about 1,000 feet high over Taunton. Atwood will remain overnight and may attempt a return flight, tomorrow, or possibly continue westward.

The structure is owned by a corporation, the remnant the coterte of citizens of Brooklyn who pooled their money to put up an Amusement homo for the town in 184S.

It has been the prone of much festivity on the part of old Brook-lyniteB, but latterly its function has been to house the grave justices of the Court of Special Scsgionn.

HERBERT SATTERLEE Morgan's Son-in-law. Did Not Testify Before Federal Grand Jury. WAS READY, BUT NOT CALLED. Bench Warrants Not Yet Issued for the Indicted Wire Trust Pool Men. The eighty-four wire manufacturers criminally indicted yesterday for pooling their business in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law will appear for pleading on July 5, when the criminal branch of the United States Circuit Court, Judge Archbald presiding, next convenes.

No bench warrants have been issued nor have any arrests been made, but counsel for the defendants will be uskeil to produce them in court. It was learned to-day that delay of the Federal Grand Jury which handed down nine Indictments yesterday against the individuals in the wire trust pools was in coming to a vote in the case of Herbert L. Satterlee, son In-law of J. Pierpont Morgan, who was indicted as president of the Haverstraw Wire Company, which has a factory at Yonkers and is Incorporated under the laws of this state. The indictment charges that the corporation's officers were identified with the Rubber Covered Wire Association.

It manufactures rubber covered telephone and telegraph wire. It Is true thnt Mr. Satterlee appeared before the Grand Jury, but is only so In part. Mr. Satterlee was in the Grand Jury room before the llnal vote was taken on the indictments, and expected to make a statement to the jurors regarding his connection with the industry.

He was not sworn nor was he permitted to make any statement. It Is understood that the privilege of testifying was denied htm because the United States attorneys had ascertained Just what he had In mind to tell the jurors. Both United States Attorneys Frankfurter and Crim said today that Mr. Satterlee's presence in the Grand Jury room in no way gave him Immunity from prosecution. United States District Attorney WiBe is out of town and is not expected to return before July 10.

Mr. Crim is also absent from the city. London, June 30 J. Pierpont Morgan, who has been here for some time, maintains a sphynx-like attitude on the subject of the Federal Indictments presented at New York against a number of individuals connected with the steel wire Industry, Including his son-in-law, Herbert Satterlee. Callers at his Iiouba desirous of interviewing him are Informed that he will not see anyone.

Telegrams addressed to him on the subject remain unanswered. London, June 30 Judge Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel Corporation, of which the American Steel and Wire Company Is a subsidiary concern, declined lo-day to discuss the Federal Indictments found agninBt the latter company and other corporations and partnerships in the alleged steel and wire pool. HI a nnly comment was: "I know nothing tuout the action and therefore have nothing to say of it. About all I can Bay Is that. know nd reason for the Indictments 'against the companies." Paris, June 30 Frank J.

Gould, who as president of the Old Dominion Iron and Nail Works Is one of the defendants ill the action brought by the United States Government against the alleged "wire pool" Is stopping here. Mr. Gould said to-day that he had learned of his indict ment by the Federal Grand Jury at New York only this morning from the press dispatches, which contained the only information that he hnd concerning the whole question. lie added that he would have no comment to make, at least, not until he had received fuller and personal Information from New York. NINE CHILDREN ARE STARVING Sad Case of Destitution; Mother in Hospital, Father Unable to Work.

"The saddest case ot destitution I have met with in all my experience," said Mrs. Rosa Green, a probationary officer at the Children's Court, this morning, after her investigation of the circumstances of the Thier family at 2S3 Snedikcr avenue, yesterday. The twelve-year-old boy Michael had been charged with peddling, admitted his guilt but said In extenuation that he did it In order to get bread tor the family. The court suspended sentence. When Mrs.

Green entered the Thier home she found nine children. The mother was in a hospital undergoing an operation. The father, a tailor, has been unable to work for two months, owing to trouble with his eyes. He returned to the practice of his trade yesterday. The nine children Tillle, 16; Benjamin, 15; David, 13; Michael, 12; lYdore, Max, Esther, Pauline, 3, and the baby were upon the verge of starvation waiting for their father to return home with something to eat.

They were too proud to confess to their destitute state and re fused Mrs. Green's otter to get them food until Max was unable to resist the temptation and cried out that he was hungry. "My poor boy," Mrs. Green cried, tak ing him in her arms, trying to hold back the tears that kept running to her eyes She Immediately sent David out to the corner grocery store with a list of things to buy. He returned in a few minutes, his arms filled with bundles; soon a real feast was prepared for the children.

Mrs. Green then stocked them with provisions for a few days. Then she reported the case to the Children's Society. The father, however, strenuously objects to having any of his children sent away. He is doing his best, he says, to keep the family together.

Buffalo, June 30 Five men are believed, to have been crushed to death three died of Injuries and three are at hospitals in a serious condition, as the result of the collapse to-day of a large section of the new $400,000 building of the municipal water works at the foot of Porter avenue, The five, supposed to have been work-lug on the roof at -the pump house end of the structure are burled under tons of masonry which crashed Into the flfty-looriichtiwrjr -following, according to firioAcial' the snapping of a steel truss.

Three Injured died shortly after being taken from the debrlB. A preliminary estimate of the damage to the building, which was practically completed for installation of machinery Indicated that the loss would exceed $150,000. About forty men were at work when the big structuri trembled as more than 200 feet ot Its heavy roof swung downward, carrying with It the greater part of the sidewalks. Firemen, police and soldiers from Fort Porter were quickly at work In the wreckage, and six Injured were rushed to hospitals. One died In an ambulance and two on operating tables.

Hours must elapse before those buried in the machinery pit can be reached. There Is no xpectation that any of them have escaped death. VACHRIS FAR TOO ACTIVE Italian Detective Transferred to the Bronx Grand Jury Seeks More Time. The June grand Jury failed to conclude Its Investigation. Into the prevalence of crimes among the lower grades In Brook lyn, as Indicated in The Eagle yesterday, and asked County Judge Dike to continue their body until July 10, on which day they will convene and end the Investigation, after which a presentment will be handed in and the grand Jury discharged.

It Is understood that a stand may be taken against the disbanding Italian detective iquadMi.tto.'.m bun twvi Certain prominent Italinrt; Ome'lalS' in Brooklyn held an Informal meeting this morning' and denounced the present police administration, for banish ing "Tony" Vachrls to the Bronx. Lieutenant Vachrls Is the man who was In charge of the Italian bureau of detectives in Manhattan. In the opinion of Vachrls' friends he was sent to' 'the Bronx because he ap peered before the grand Jury In Kings County the other day and told things concerning the. administration of tho city's detective servica In connection with the treatment of the question of Italian crime. Vachrls was sent to Italy to finish the work that Petroslno had been doing there when he was Bliot down on the streets In Palermo.

He secured from the Italian government and from Italian police sources the records of Italian criminals who were known to be in the United States. For months, un der Commissioner Baker, Vachrls and two detectives were putting the records into such shape that the men might be arrested and deported without delay. The united states government used some of the Information Vachrls had collected, and other cities also found use for It, and several Italians ot notoriously' bad character were deported. But the City of New York, which had spent so much money to get the facts, took no action, It is alleged. A short time' ago the Italian souads were disbanded and Vachris was sent to do lain duty In the central detective squad.

On Tuesday last Vachrls was called be fore the local grand Jury to tell about Italian crime and the method of reducing tne crime ot the lower grades of Italian people in this city. Yesterday Vachrls was notified of his transfer to the Bronx, to a precinct where Italians will cease to trouble htm.

CAN'T NAME GOLDSTEIN IN UNION BANK CASE Continued From Fag 1. had severed their Interest in the bank and did not continue any deposits, so all of the money due on the deferred payments to the three New York branches was expected to be paid out without any left with the bank on deposit. "My brother, Edward M. Grout, who was president of the bank, bad arranged for a loan of $500,000 with the Metropolitan Trust Company, and had worked out the terms of the loan.

He was then taken seriously 111 and gave up business, and was confined to his house, and for several weeks was not expected to IhirlnL that time the carrying out of the loan fell upon me. "I arranged for the incorporation of company to take Over all the real estate of the bank and issue bonds against it, which bonds were to be accepted by the Metropolitan Trust Company as security for the loan. Metropolitan Attorneys Raise Question on Legality of Loans. "After my brother was taken seriously 111 the attorneyn for the Metropolitan Trust Company raised the question as to the power of the Metropolitan Trust Company to loan so large a sum of money on these bonds. I had a number of long negotiations with them in which the directors of the Metropolitan Trust Company Interested themselves.

The matter was taken up by Mr. Cheney and Jordan Rollins as to how the loan could bs made. "I then stated that an examination would show whether or not the loan could be made by two companies which held a certain amount of capital borrowing a portion and the bank, which held tho balance, borrowing a portion, So that the' entlre loan bf $500,000 "could be effected without being considered- In vip-latlon of lo.an waB eventually vufc through imthat way." lAfter (explaining how he and. his office force spent quite a number ot days and nights in hustling along, tha preparations for this peculiar Grout declared that, i.nsplte of all efforts, the 17th of December, on which date the final deferred payment of 30 per cent, to depositors was due, came around before the negotiations with, the Metropolitan Jrust Company were completed. He then made the astounding statement that on December 17, 1909, during banking hours, the Union Bank paid out half a million dollars which it did not have in Its possession.

Just how this astonishing financial feat was accomplished he did not explain, but his testimony on the matter Is very explicit.

"On the 17th of December the Union Bank closed regular business hours at 3 o'clock and had to pay out of the bank before 3 o'clock an amount which I think was in excess of the $500,000 we hadn't yet succeeded in getting and We got the money at 4 o'clock. "We borrowed $376,000 on bills payable from the Hanover National Bank, and we borrowed from the Empire Trust Company, I think, $166,000, making an aggregate of about $1,000,000. "All of this matter was handled by me, as 'there was no executive officer of the bank except Mr.

Ashley, who was cashier and, I think, vice president, and who assisted me all he could. These; matters were presented to the board of directors as occasion came up and approved by them. The whole burden fell entirely on my shoulders. "The loan which my brother had negotiated," Mr. Grout added, "and the terms, of It fell through because they raised legal objections and I succeeded In having the loan renewed at $600,000 and the money was obtained.

I succeeded In getting $370,000 from the Hanover Bank and loans on bills receivable, as I stated." Paul Grout was not to be found at his office this afternoon.
