BALDWIN BALLOON
WILL Be ACCEPTED
Signal Corps Men Satisfied
With Trial Flights of
Dirigible.

Capt, Thomas s. Baldwin's dirigible
balloon will be accepted by the United
States Government At a meeting of
the special board OF the Signal Corps
officers this morning. It was decided
that the Baldwin airship had complied
With tie requirements. No time has

Brigadier General Allen. thief signal
officer, said this morning, that while
the Wright brothers may do as they

The Wright brothers have maintained
an air of mystery for many months con-
corning their machine, not only during
those made at lie Mans, France. One
of them quite recently threatened to
smash a French photographers outnt
after he had taken a picture OF the
aeroplane IN flight.
Wants No Crowd Present.
While one OF the two brothers has said
that they cannot operate well when
there is q crowd present, it is believed
that they are afraid that the secret of
construction OF the machine VIII be
found if the public is permitted to see
ut at close range.
The decision of General Allen, how
yer. removes all doubt as to the Fort
