THE WASHINGTON BRANCH
Reported by Senator German and Gen.
Baughman.
AT REQUEST OF STATE SENATE
Interest Estimated to Be Worth Not
Less Than Two Millions
Contest at Law.

Should the report of Senator German and
Gen Baughman, state directors in the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, be supported by
the courts in an appeal by Attorney Cen
eral Bryan to compel an accounting by the
railroad company. Maryland's interest IN
the Washington branch of the Baltimore
and Ohio should be worth not less than
100000 counting the stock at par.
In the report submitted to the senate yes
terday. briefly reported in The Star, the
state directors claim that, including the
states interest in the Washington termi-
nails the accrued dividends and its share
of the S1.2J0,000 appropriated by the fed
eral government, the states interest should
be valued a. $3.50 per share. or $1500,0OO.
No reference is made to the value of the
$500 shares of stock proper, but these, If
taken al par would add 100000 more.
It is believed however. that the stock is
worth more. and that it will eventually
yield the regular dividend of 10 per cent be-
cause of the increasing value of the Wash
ington terminals. Therefore, there are SEN
ators who are of the opinion that the state
should be paid not less than $1,000 GOO. In
any event, it is claimed, the state can lose
nothing by going to law with the company,
for should it be decided that the state cam
not recover from the company, the stock
could be held and in time will yield more
than the company is now willing to give.
The report is in response to a request
from the senate asking the directors to fur
nfsh a detailed statement embracing their
views as to the value of the holdings and
OF the proposed disposition of them by the
board of public works.
The Baltimore and Ohio appointed a spe-
cfst committee, consisting of Mr.. Loree
Mr.. Steele and Mr. German, directors to
consider the payment of a dividend. with
the understanding that the committee would
take into consideration the entire question
of the possible Indebtedness of the WASH
ington branch growing out of the new ter
mfnal facilities II Washington.
nat committee, says the report, never
acted upon the matter nor were the data
necessary for the consideration of the cues

In the meantime Oscar G. Murray was
elected president and Mr. German wrote

t'on or ar dividend, and also asking full in
formation. No action having been taken
by President Murray and five months hay
ing elapsed Mr. German wrote him again.

chanica devices now which are superior
to the devices used by nature in human
beings and animals, and / do not see
why we may not put together cca-
trivance which will at least be equal to
the machine and brain of the Bird
So, if man-flight is such an easy mat
ter as Mr.. Edison makes il out to be,
why have we not been navigating the
air these many years? For one thing,
we have only recently, in our attempts
to fly, left off trying to be original and
endeavored to copy the bird, the handi-
work Of nature. 1t is significant fact
that only since we have looked to the
bird for the secret Of fight has there
been built a machine with an indisput-
able record Of flying ever SO small a
distance. Only since we have begun to
initiate the bird have the wise men be-
come convinced that we will yet fly
And some day-some day--ah, who
would not like his name to go rolling
down the ages as the inventor of the
| first machine to demonstrate beyond the
shadow OF a doubt The complete con-
quest Of the air by MANI
Though man, when he flies, will fly
like the birds, it does not necessarily
follow that the flying machine, on ac-
count Of its structure, might be taken
for some long surviving antideluvian in
habitant OF the air Indeed, not few
scientists who have been busy with aero
nautics declare that, once man has dis
covered the principle Of flight, his won
derfu ingenuity will enable him to con-
struct machine that will incorporate
the principle and at the same time have
nothing about it resembling wings in the
slightest degree Propellors there will
be, and a rudder, doing the work Of
wings and tail. But it will be fight
without wings-and we have been
taught from childhood that even the
angels need wings to fly. Other scien-
tisf3, however, believe that there will be
great planes, two or more, mechanically
worked like wings, in conjunction with
propellors and rudder.
Again, in their perfected state, pro-
pelors and rudder will do more than
to give flight. Once more man will inn
prove on nature, and the mechanisms Of
his ingenuity will drive the good air ma
chine through gales that the strongest
bird could not face, will keep il Sc
renely on its course. while birds

of us have come TO say, with regret
full shake of the head, I'VE will
never fly"
Right here, up steps the greatest
wizard of his day, Thomas A. Edison,
to say that man ought to be ashamed
of himself for not having solved the
problem, in all its phases, long ago.
Il was down in Florida, and one day
watched a big bird--I think it was a
vulture--that foated about in the air a
whole hour without moving its wings
perceptibly. When God made that bird
He gave it machine to fly with. but
He didn't give it much else. He gave the
bird very small brain with which to
direct the movements Of the machine,
but He gave to man much larger
brain in proportion to that of the bird.
All this is paraphrascd in the one word
"Shamep
"Here," says Edison of the yulture
SIS natural flying machine which is a
thousand times as heavy as the air j,
displaces. There is nothing but ma
chine and small brain, and it is not
very remarkable machine, either" And
then in self-evident disgust "Why is i
that man cannot make flying machin.
as Efficient as bird?
"A lot of people say that it was neveI
meant that man should fly, that If ma
ture had intended such a thing maj
would have been provided with TIL
necessary machinery in his body, such a
is now possessed by the bird. But yo,
might as well say that it was nevel
intended that man should ever have an,
light aside from the sun and the moor
and stars which were originally pro
vided for him, or that he should mo-
move about faster with the aid Of
wheels because no wheels were supplied
to him by nature
Through further study Of the bird and
its method of flight man will discover
how to fly, says Mr.. Edison, and all
others who have given the subject any
serious thought agree with him fully
But, Mr.. Edison adds, somewhat para
doxically, he who solves the problem Of
fight will find out nothing new. Pow

Will we yet fly through the air as

The wise men of the civilized portions
of the world are now Pretty generally

That is the very word the great body
Of people employed when, at one time or

Further, we will fly as does the pigeon.
Ii, .'in full flight, raises itself by each
of its rapid wing beats, an almost i'm
perceptible distance, and shoots forward
between each flap along plane of very
slight inclination, downwards by just the
amount the wing beat raises it, and for
wards considerable distance--the re-
suit being rapid fight
Our flight, then, will be gradual
gliding down an inclined plane and a
constant recovery by upshoots. In some
forms of fight these two actions occur
almost simultaneously. SO will they in
the perfected flying machine, insuring a
