CT fog came rolling in before a southeast

AIRsRIP REFUSES TO Work.
Broken Valve Forces an Abandonment of the
Experiment
CBy the Associated Press.)


Whitewater, Va, Sept 3-Efforts today
to launch Samuel p. Langley's sixty foot
man-carrying aerodrOme had to be aban-
doned at o'clock this evening, owing to
the failure of the gasolenc motor to work
properly. For four hours Prof. Charles
Manly, the inventors right hand man,
labored hard to get the machinery in
shape. He was unsuccessful The trouble
was caused by a broken valve in the en-
CINE. When Prof Langley at last reluct-
antly called the experiment off the aero
houseboat. The inventor then made the
following statement:
"The work of the afternoon has been a
great disappointment to us all. The fail
ure to have an experiment was caused by
the discovery of a broken valve in the
motor This can be repaired, think, dur
ing the forenoon tomorrow"
When the signal was given by firing a
skyrocket from the house boat to apply
the motive power to the machine, Prof
Manly tried in vain to get his engine III
operation. Several subsequent attempts
were made. Once the propellers were got
going for five minutes, but the revolutions
instead of reaching 1900, did not exceed
500 and work was very irregular. Prof.
Manly was attired in a light costume
when he entered the aeronauts cabin.
He wore a pair of white duck trousers
His jacket was paded with cork to assist
in keeping him above water at the ter
mination of the flight Attached to his
left knee was a watch to register the ex-

Throughout the whole of the trying or
deal he appeared remarkably calm and
