LUDLOW HOPES FOR REAL FLIGHT.
Will Be Able to Navigate Air Without q
Tow Line Soon, He SAYS.

81 shall soon be able to navigate the air with
ont a tow line said Israel Ludlow, inventor of
the aeroplane that made a fight over the Hud-
son River in tow of tugboat a week ago, as
he lay in his bed at No. 10 West 84th-st.,
nursing a badly sprained and swollen ankle,
yesterday. Charles K. Hamilton, the young
aeronaut who sailed the river on the
aeroplane, sat beside Mr. Ludlow yesterday and
expressed confidence in the inventors assertion.
1t the intention to have Hamilton make
other flight over the river yesterday afternoon,
but the Jugboat not available.
q expected TO go up about thousand feet
to-day, Hamilton said, then cut loose from
the tow line and steer the aeroplane down TO
the surface of the river describing circles like
those OF a bird in downward flight. My expert
ence with the aeropIane the other day makes
certain that l can direct its course easily
by simply changing my position on the net
ting
1T will be necessary TO have two three
trials with the aid of a tugboat," Mr..
Ludlow said but l have made final discovery
that justifies me in saying the aeroplane can
be made self-propelling. 1t is simply a question
of little time to perfect the motor and ascer-
tain its exact place the aeroplane. Hamil-
ton is ready to navigate the machine"
That's right, said Hamilton.

deny this was done even contemplated.

ness man of College Hill, Cincinnati. The latter
is a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity
and had come to attend the initiation of his son.
The body of the student was taken to the home

pared for burial It taken to Cincinnati this
morning in a special train Mr.. Pierson told
the members of the fraternity that he did not
attach any blame to them.
