AEROPLANE FAILS IN FLIGHT
Coupling of Propeller Shaft Snaps
and Stops Progress.
Crowd of Nearly 1000 Persons Dis
cident Yesterday Afternoon.

Accidents marred the preliminary flight
Of Israel Ludlows new aeroplane yester-
day afternoon. As the flying machine
was about to leave the ground the coup
ling Of the propeller shaft TO the motor
snapped. No injury was done 10 the
operator OF the machine. r. S Moore.
a crowd Of nearl 900 persons gathered
TO watch the initial flight attracted by
the loud reports from the motor. Sew
eral policemen were on hand and easily
handled the crowd
IL was Mr.. Ludiow's intention 10 merely
test the completed aeroplanc. but this
test proved so successful that he decided
on his first aight. The aeroplane glided
along the 400 feet Of granite walk IN the
train shed OF the old station. and out into
the section Of Sixth street recently COM
pleted which extends through the Mall
A breeze from the south was blowing
at the rate OF ten miles an hour. The
aeroplane was headed against the wind
under propulsion Of its own power After
starting the motor. the aeronaut was
about 20 assume his post. so placed rs
20 produce perfect equilibrium when the
Tie air ship was about to leave the
ground Just at that moment. the aero
nauts weight having kept il TO the
ground. Had he reached his post. the air
ship would probably have been I'm the
air. and the accident would have resulted
| in injury 70 both operator and machine
The preliminary trial in the train shed
developed pulling power Of more than
a hundred pounds. This fact overcamo
the doubt I'm the mind Of Mr. Ludlow as
10 the capability Of the l6-horse-
power opposed motor 70 lift the aero
plane. and caused him 20 try flight in
stead Of waiting for a new 30-horsepower
motor. which he expects 10 obtain In a
week or so.
Another cause leading 10 the accident
was the fact that a 3O-pound fly-wheel
was used instead OF a 70-pOund ny-wheel.
which was on hand The lighter av-
wheel was used in an effort 10 reduce
weight. the motor. gasoline. and pro-
peller, alone Weighing about twenty
pounds The vibration proved too great
for the hy-whecl used.
Owing 10 the fact that the old Penn
sylv1nia Station will be demolished be-
ginning July Is, Mr.. Ludlow has been Of
fered the use Of the race track grounds
at Benning by the management II is
probable the next flight Will occur there.
Mr.. Ludlow leaves for New York to-
morrow 10 arrange for procuring money
for the purchase Of a 30-h0rsepower mo-
tor. He will return on July l3. and su-
pervise the transferring of his aeroplane
TO Benning.

penses. 'Since inaugurating this foreign
work policy three other secretaries have
been added 10 the foreign staff of the
Washington assOciatiOn--one for Japan.
one for China. and one for South Amer

SYRACUSE WON
VARSITY RACE
Columbia Second and Close Up
and the Cornell Crew
Not Far AStern.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 81
Swinging their sweeps with powerful
strokes which carried their slender
shell through the water at all but re-
cord pace. the Syracuse varsity crew
won the big four mile race today They
headed Columbia by less than one-third
of length, and Cornell by bare
length, at the finish line, after one of
the most holly contested and most in
teresting regattas in the eleven years
history of collegiate racing on the Hud-
son course. incidentally Syracuse took
from Cornell the trophy which is the
token of victory in this race-the var
sity challenge cup. presented in 1898 by
DR.. Louis l. Seaman. Cornell, 10 be held
by the winner for one year.
The crew from Syracuse won by the
power behind her blades and by supe-
rlor Workmanship. Columbia and Cor
nell rowed finely throughout the con-
test and pressed the winner hard in the
last mile. Pennsylvania eight made
the pace for nearly three miles and
then went to pieces, finishing six
lengths behind Cornell.
Wisconsin was reckoned as con-
tender until the three-mile mark was
passed at Poughkepesie bridge, when
J. w. Wise. No. >, collapsed and put
the western crew out of the contest. He
soon recovered, and the Wisconsin men
rowed bravely on, even though Wise
fell over on his oars again. He again
revived sufficiently to swing an oar as
the Wisconsin crew swept over the fin
ish line more than a minute behind Sy-
racuse, The winner was greeted by the
roar of many voices, the shrieks a.
whistles and sirens and the reports of
exploding bombs set off from the
bridge
Syracuse won also, and for the sec
ond successive time the race for uni
Versity fOur-Oared shells for the Ken
the day-leading the Pennsylvania
crew over the line by nearly two
lengths, and covering the distance of
two miles I'm 81 1-5 seconds. Columbia
crossed the line third, three lengths be-
hind Pennsylvania which had fOuled
the Columbia boat in the last half mile
of the contest. The judges disqualified
Pennsylvania, and awarded Columbia
place honors. Syracuse was the actual
winner. but many felt that but for
mishap Cornell would have won this
race. There are no coXswains in this
race, and the shells are steered by the
bow oar. Cornell went wide of her
course and ran her boats sharp prov
plump into the marking buoy at the
one and a quarter mile mark, and the
crsft stuck there until help arrived.
When the collision occurred she had a
lead of four lengths and was drawing
rapidly away from her competitors.
Cornell carried off the two-mile race
for freshmen eight-oared shells for the
stewards cup in handy fashion, going
over the course in 1929 S-5, three
lengths of open water ahead of SYRIA
cuse. Columbia was third, Wisconsin
fourth and Pennsylvania fifth.
