TO FOUND LORENz CHAIRS
MIR. ARMOUR To COMMEMORATE HIS
DAUGHTERS RECOVERY.
Wants OrthOpedic Surgery Taught
i'm Hospitals i'm Principal Cities,
Including indianapolis.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, Oct. Tt is stated here
to-day on the authority of a gentleman who
is in a position to know that Mr. Armour, of
Chicago. whose daughter Lolita was cured
OF congenital dislocation of the hips by DR..
Lorenz, is TO establish a chair of orthopedc
surgery after the Lorenz school in at least
one hospital in the leading city of each
State of the Union and several in Canada
Mr.. Armour Is so enthusiastic over the re-
covery of his daughter and so greatly an
gered at the attitude of the surgeons of this
country for the adverse position which they
take on the subject of the new methods of
DIR. Lorenz, that he has decided, in COM
memoration of the restoration of his daugh-
ter, TO enable every parent in the country
to secure for his children the opportunities
that his own child had. The method of
founding the Lorenz chairs. or more prop
erly speaking, the beds in the various hos
pitals, has not yet been determined. but il
is thought it will be in the shape of a dona-
tion sufficiently large at first to have a sur
geon taught the speciality and then to pay
his salary at each hospital The chair for
Indiana will be al India polls.

RAMMED BY THE SHARK
TORPEDO BOAT DAHLGREN BADLY
DAMAGED IN THE HULL.
Struck by the Submarine Torpedo
Boat Shark and Narrowly Es-
capped GOinE to thc Bottom.

NEW YORK. Oct. The submarine tor
pedo boat Shark. during trial at Green
port, l.. l.. to-day, rammed the torpedo
boat Dahlgren. which, with her crew of
seven men. barely escaped sinking.
Junior Lieutenant c. A Nelson took the
Shark out for trial and steamed out into
the middle OF the bay. making several
quick dives. When she reached the oppo-
site shore she headed back for a long spin
under water. The boat poked her nose un-
der the surface and dived down fifty-eight
feet. 1t was planned to run three and one
half miles at the rate of six and one-half
miles an hour. Those on shore who figured
when she would rise were becoming
alarmed when she did not appear, when
suddenly she rose less than twenty feet
from the Dahlgren. which was lying at the
dock. Lieutenant Nelson signaled TO re-
verse her engines. but her headway was too
strong and she crashed into the port side
of the Dahlsren. lying at the pier Water
immediately rushed into the Dahlgren and
she settled alarmingly. The sailors rushed
for collision mat. large piece of water
tight canvas. which was placed over the
gap where the water was rushing in The
steam pump was set working and after half
an hours hard work got control of the
water.
An examination showed that a hole four
feet long had been torn through the plates
just aft of the engine room. The only mark
on the Shark was the tearing of the paint
from her ram-like bow.
Lieutenant Nelson said afterward that
the strong ebb tide made the Shark mo-
mentarily uncomfortable. He had figured
TO run TO the surface a short distance from
the Dahigren and prove the Sharks ability
To run close to an enemy and then back
quickly away.

of years of exhaustive study in the efforts
of Prof. Samuel F. Langley. secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution, to solve the
problem of mechanical flight in midair, was
launched to-day and the experiment, care
fully planned and delayed for months,
proved complete failure. The immense
airship sped rapidly along its seventy-foot
track, was carried by its own momentum
for 100 yards and then fell gradually into
the Potomac river. whence it emerged a
wreck.

there any semblance of flight. the initial

for the 100-yard transit of the air-bird from
its sixty-foot elevation to the water. An
official statement, made after the test, ad-
mitted that the experiment was unsuccess-
full, but asserted confidence in the ultimate
success of the invention.
The launching took place at 12:15 o'clock
this afternoon from the superstructure of

When all was ready Professor Manley
took his place in the navigator's car, which
was situated close TO the gasoline motor.
This motor was we'll below the principal

reappeared above the water. 1t was a mo-

1T must be understood that the test to-
day was entirely an experiment and the

The work Of removing the wreck was
Immediately begun. Within ten minutes of
the mishap the tugs were pulling away
at the debris. BY o'clock the disabled
machine had been put away in the interior
of the houseboat. As it was lifted on the
derricks from the water the complete dis
aster was evident. The big broad wings
which had extended twelve by twenty-five
feet were hanging limp beside the frame,
the rudder was a wreck, the wire frame
work a tangled mass, and the main body
of the 1,200-pound machine was badly dam
aged though not beyond repair
At practically the same spot flying ma
chine experiments were conducted on Nav

reported that his aerodrome had twice flown

OLONA FIBRE IS
A GOOD THING

Prof. l., G.. Blackman does not agree
with the Department of Agriculture in
its findings about olona fibre and
thinks that the Department must eth
erer have got hold of the wrong fiber
altogether or obtained some of the
genuine kind which had been ruined in
preparation. Prof. Blackman has been
engaged for some time past, in study
Ing hbres at the Bishop Museum.
"Olona," he said. 'is one of the best
fibres in the world; there is only one,
ramie, which is stronger and that be-
longs to the same family. Sisal fiber
is much inferior. Olona culture is one
of great promise in these islands pro-
viding the right kind of machinery to
treat it can be had"
Prof. Blackman showed specimens of
the fiber and the twine made from it
