FLYING MACHINE WAS
TRIPPED AT THE START
Broken Clutch Failed to Release the
Aerodrome at the Proper Moment.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. g.
Speaking of yesterdays experiment at
Whitewater with his aerodrome, Prof.
Langley said today that he was not an
eye witness of the experiment, having
been detained In Washington by bust
ness, but he added that, on the report
of Mr.. Manley, who was Immediately
in charge, he is able to say that the
latter's first impression that there had
been defective balancing was corrected
by a minuter examination, when the
clutch which held the aerodrome on
the launching ways, and which should
have released 1t at the instant of the
fall, was found to be injured.
Prof. Langley continued:
1.-The machinery was working per-
fectly and giving every reason to an
ticipate a successful fight when this
accident. due wholly to the launching
ways, drew the aerodrome abruptly
downward at the moment of release and
cast it into the water near the house.
boat. The statement that the machine
failed for lack of power to fly was
wholly a mistaken one.
1.-THE engine, the frame and all the
more important parts were practically
uninjured. The engine is actually in
good working order. The damage done
was confined to the slighter portions,
like the canvas wings and propeller,
and these can be readily replaced.
1.-THE belief of those charged with the
experiments in the ultimate successful
working of the machine is no way af-
fected by this accident, which is one
of the large chapter of accidents that
beset the initial stages Of experiments
so novel as the present ones. 1t is
chiefly unfortunate as coming near the
end of the season, when outdoor work
Of this sort is possible.
whether the experiments will be
continued this year or not has not yet
