Mr.. steinway Doesn't Believe Mr.. Corbias
Is In II. but Doesn't Know Yet.
William Steinway. Chairman OF the Rapid
Transit Commission. said yesterday that he
did not believe that Austin Corbin was at ther
head OF the syndicate that proposed to accept
the original plan Of tho Commission and put
S45.O0O.OO0 into an underground railroad. He
said the Commission had not heard from Mr..
Corbin for a year and a halt. and 1t was his
Impression that Mr.. Corbin was welded to the
deep tunnel system. go
1T is idle speculation to try and name the
members OF the syndicate as yet because theY
are unk nown to the Com missIoners." said Mr..
Steinway THE dealing SO far has been with
q reputable business firm which am not 90
shape,yet to be made public. They win accept
the plan offered by the Commission with
probably few notifications in the roadbed
down town.
These will probably be submitted at NEXT
Wednesdays meeting. | understand that
$3O.OOO.O0O OF the capital has been secured
already. and tho rest is promised by the time
the moneyed men get back from their vaoa-
lions. It is unreasonable to suppose that
Drexel. Morgan Il Co.. or J. Pierpont Morgan,
are interested in the syndicate. because OF
their deep interests in the elevated road. We
shall continue the work on our Independents
elevated scheme until We are assured that
the new syndicate really want the old franz

JERSEY CI1Y,s ASPHALT PAVEMENT:
Awarding . Contract for Half OF II to the
Higher bidder to be Investigated.

Awarding . Contract for Half OF II to tho
Higher bidder to be Investigated.
Judge Job Lippincott. in the Hudson County
Court. yesterday granted an application mad
by Allan L. McDermott for writ Of certiorari
to review the action OF the Jersey City Board
OF Street and Water Commissioners in award
ing contracts for asphalt paving.
The awards were made two weeks ago. and
the streets to be asphalted were divided be-
tween the Trinidad Asphalt Com pany and the
Barbour Asphalt Company.
The Barbour Company. Of which Attorney
Spencer Weart is counsel. put in bids that
ranged from 40 to Us cents per square
yard in excess OF those rendered by
the Trinadad Company for tho same work.
Although the awards raised storm Of
protests. Acting Mayor Simpson ignored all
objections and signed the resolutions.
Mr.. McDermott made his application as a
private citizen. and In that capacity he scored
the Street and Water Board mercilessly. He
said the Board would squander at least $4,000
by practically ignoring the low bid. and said
they should be indicted.
He pronounced the award to the Barbour
Company as part OF bare-faced conspiracy to
foist excessive prices upon the city.
CORPORATION Counsel W. ID. Edwards. in re-
ply argued that the Street and Water Com
missi0ners were justified in securing speci-
mems OF both companies work for comparison.
Judge Lippincott, in granting the applica-
yestigation. He did not believe. he said. in
awarding contracts except to the lowest bid
ders. Unless this was done. advertising for
proposals became farce.

fessor Samuel PROFESSOR LANGLEY.
Pierpont Langley, who has devoted many
years of study TO the subject. So there
really is some ground for hope of its sue
cess.
The general plan is that indicated by
Roger Bacon, who in the thirteenth cen
fury wrote this: There may be some
flying instrument so made that man
sitting in the middle of it and turning q
crank to put in motion some artificial
wings may beat the air like a bird and
fly" In truth, however, the man in
Professor Langley's plan is only to di-
rect the motor force, which is very vol
atile hydrocarbon, and the method OF
preparing it is as yet a secret. The
whole machine, says the professor,
weighs but 40 pounds, as the strong ribs
and beams are made Of fine alloy of
aluminium and steel, and the four boilers
are of very finely hammered copper and
weigh but seven pounds each.
The name of the inventor, however,
carries more weight than any possible
description of the machine or demonstra-
ton of its practicability. Professor
Langley was born Aug. %, 1894, in Rox-
bury, Mass, and FIRST became noted in
1865 as assistant in the Harvard observa-
tory. He was4soon called to the chair of
mathematics in the United States Naval
academy at Annapolis, and in 1877 was
appointed assistant secretary of the
Smithsonian institution. On the death
of Professor Baird he became full secre-
tary.
Professor Langley's work as assistant
and recorder during total ecEpses is well
known to the reading public, and his sci
entific papers are numerous and highly
regarded. He has made many expert
ments looking toward practical flying
machine, and has succeeded in making q
few models which would rise in the air
and continue to float as long as the mo-
tive power lasted. The great difficulty,
Of course, has been to secure materials
containing strength and Gghtness, and
this he thinks he has accomplished in the
alloy Of steel and aluminium. AS model
for his machine he has taken the body
Of the mackerel, and for the wings the
revolving fans of china silk. All we now
wait for is the practical test.
