.AIRsHlP MAKES POOR TARGET
Naval and Military officials Discuss
Matter from All Viewpoints and
Continued Deep Thought

Washington, Sept. l2.-The chance re-
mark of a sergeant of artillery at Fort
Myer during the aeroplane flights OF
orville Wright was the basis for a
discussion of one of the important
features OF the government interest OF
the aerial craft for war purposes. The
discussion took place at a dinner ten
dered to Mr.. Wright by naval officers.
Said the sergeant: ''Airships aren't
any good To launch a shell from be-
cause you can't get the centrifugal
force that is necessary to hit an OBJ
ject."
The idea which the non commissioned
officer intended to convey was that the
whirling motion given shell by Il
modern steel bore gun could not be ac-
complshcd in dropping an explosive
shell from an airsfip.
The main facts brought out in the
discussion of the aeroplune as an in
strumcnt of war We're that a machine
such as that Of the Wright brothers
would be practically invulrenable as a
target for the enemy's guns. with lit
tie target practise an explosive could
be dropped on war vessel with dam
aging results, and that the aerial war
craft could he launched from the deck
of a battlcship.
Mr.. Wright said that he had made
experiments with swinging weight
W S7'I INV tlo|Eia toulu obJttlS
owe. which he was flying. Il found
that after a little practise it became
comparatively easy to put the weight
Just where / wanted it, said Mr..
Wright One allowance which must
be made is the effect of a wind strik-
ing thu course of the airship at right
angles
ION youc present machine. how much
| weight could be added in the shape
| of a gun Mr.. Wright was asked by
| Lieut.. Sweet, the naval officer detailed
| TO observe The Fort Myer aeronautical
| tests.
One hundred and fifty pounds" Mr.
| Wright replied.
The merits of launching an explo-
| siNe from a gun was then discussed.
| Mr.. Wright said there would not be q
sufficient kick to cause the aerop!ane
| to diNerge from its course. a shell
could be dropped into the funnel of

| 1t was suggested by one Of the officers

1 q number Of aeroplanes as is NOW done
/ by the torpedo boats. 1t was pointed
out that the greater cheapness of the
| aeroplane and the fact that but one

STARTLING DISCOVERIES
Booth Company's Books Were jug
glcd SO Worthless Paper Issued by
Concern Would be Taken.

Chicago, Sept, r. revelations of q
sensational nature We're made public
today regarding the failure of A. Booth
& Company, the s1s,00O,0o0 FISH, game.
and sea food corporation, which was
placed in the hands OF receiver
Thursday.
That the concerns books have been
Fjuggled for a period extending back at.
least three years is charged in a cir
Gular sent out by the interested bank
ers, who also sot forth that in the
company's statements $1,200.000 have
been deducted from the liabilities and
the books made to balance by n similar
juggling in the asset column.
BY reason of this manipulation it is
alleged the corporation has been en-
abled to float paper that otherwise
might not have been accepted by the
purchasers.
So serious are the various charges
that it was freely predicted the failure
would find an echo in the criminal
courts. Members of the Booth family,
however, are said to be in no way in
volved in any questionable transact
lions. They are said to have been the
heaviest losers by reason of the mis-
management OF others, in whom they
had imposed confidence.
The statement Of the bankers bears
the following signatures:
by f. o. Wetmore. vice president.
THE Corn Exchange National bank
of Chicago, by Ernest Hamill, pres-
dent
The Continental Bank of Chicago
by Alexander Robertson, vice presi-
dent.
''The Commercial National Bank or
Chicago, Joseph L. Albert, vice pres
dent.'
1t was declared by one OF the
members of the committee that
through the inaccurate statements
every bank that has Booth & Com
pany's notes the last year. has been
misled There are in all more than
100 banks throughout the country
that hold the company's paper.
"A Booth &c Company" the bank
ers' statement says. Uniformed us that
the increased liabilities shown as
compared with the company's prevl-
Gus statements We're caused by the
manipulation of the figures in the
annual reports for three or four
wears. ending April 80, 1907, and that
in the statement of the latter date,
there should be deducted S1,2OO,Ooo
from the liabilities and similar
amount from the assets to make the
statement balance.
