| ly successful experiment with the f1f-
teen-foot Langley airship was made to-
day from the house boat in the Poto-
| mae river off this point. The aero
| drome started well in a straight line
south with a velocity of seventy feet
per second and flew for from 400 to
1000 yards. Some detection in the
wings soon after the launching caused
1t to take a downward course, which
she followed rapidly and was impelled
into the water under the full power of
her engine.
There was sufficient steam generated
for a rapid flight of a half or three
quarters Of a mile. Under the full
pressure of this force the machine
struck the water and a moment more
had disappeared from view. The ma
chine was recovered. 1t was removed
to the houseboat.
AT given signal the model was dis
patched on its voyage. The launching
car was pulled back to the leeward Of
the Superstructure and sent forward
on its track at rapid velocity. When
the windward end was reached the ma
chine shot forth. A better launching
could not have been desired The
Smithsonian scientists believed that
their highest hopes were about to be
realized.
The machine was equipped with four
wings, two on each side, about four by
six feet, made of the finYst oil silk and
held upon delicate wooden rods. The
wings were shaped like tent. The
body consists of an intricate arrange
ment of fine steel rods, with cylinders,
motor and boilers carefully balanced.
Between the two sets of wings were the
propellers. two in number, equipped
with two blades. The stee:lng gear was
situated at the rear and was construct
ed from material like the wings. The
motor is supposed to generate some
thing in excess of two-horse power
Chief Assistant Manley, of the Lang
ley expedition. made the following
statement:
THE experiment was entirely sue
cessful. All the data which this ma
chine was designed to furnish was OBJ
tanned. The equilibrium was perfect,
the power adequate and the supporting
surface ample No accident occurred
Some of the woodwork of the wings
and rudder was slightly damaged by
the graphing hooks used in removing
the aerodrome from the water, but no
essential parts were injured. Were an
other test desired this afternoon the
same machine could be used"

DOUBLE LYNCHING
NEAR AT HAND

MOB WAS AT LANDER JAIL.
No Extra Precautions 10 Guard Pris-

Cheyenne, Wyo, Aug. 15.-Advices
from Lander at 2 o'clock this morning
indicate that that town will probably
be the scene Of a double lynching and
that James Keffcr and James Dollard
viii be the victims, A large crowd OF
excited men gathered about the Lander
iail at 1l.SO last night, and for a time
It looked as though the bastile would
be stormed at once. The mob was arm
ed with rifles and reyolyers and two or
three men carried ropes. After BRIEF
consultation among the leaders, how
ever the crowd apparently dispersed.
Since that hour men have been seen
lurking in the shadows of the buildings
of the county jail and an attack is eX-
pected at any moment, the dispensing
Of the mob being ruse II is believed
TO throw the officers off their guard.
Dollard murdered Frank Bryant In a
saloon on Wednesday night after nav

James Keffer was convicted Of muir
derlng William Warren, a stage tender
on the Lander Rawlins line, two years
ago and was sentenced TO be hanged
but was granted a stay of execution
pending AN appeal to the supreme
court.
Apparently there is no extra effort
being made TO protect the prisoners.
The regular guard Is az the jail, but
that is all Sentiment in Lander appears
to be all one way and unless the muir
derers are spirited away, which IS
doubtful, II seems certain that both
men will be hanged.
Up 10 10 o'clock today no lynchlng
had occurred at Lander but the senti'
ment in favor Of one apears to be very
strong and It Is feared that an attempt
Will be made tonight II not before. TO
