confirmation of the rumor could he
obtained, everyone connected with the
road. and with the rumored receiver
ship application being non-committal;
but thCr,. is reason to believe that inn
portant developments are pending in
the affairs of the railroad and that
the reccivcrship action is the first
step in a campaign of some of the
creditors to protect their interests.

NAVY OFFICERS BELIEVE;
AEROpLANE EASY TARGET

New york, Oct, AIM eriCan and
foreign naval officers gathered here
who witnessed Wilbur Wright flight
today. while impressed with the man
ner in which he controlled his craft.
nevertheless believe the machine
would be an easy target for shot
fred from the big guns.
This was the view taken by Com
mander Sims OF the Minnesota, who
pointed ont that an aviator ont Of
gun range would be equally out of po-
si,ion to drop projcctilc on bat
tleShip. The consensus of opinion
seemed to be that the aeroplane must
be further perfected before it wil be
of great advantage in warfare. ct
least in an attack on the cnemy's
navy.
Admiral Sir Edward Seymour, of
the British fleet said tonight:
After seeing Mr.. Wright's wonder
full exhibition. | am sure the aero
plane is here to stay. The thing that
Impressed me most was the steadiness
of the machine. He made a beauti-
full turn over the cruiser Drake and
sailed all the way with Consumatc
ease. In warfare, | think the aero
plane will be limited to scouting. OF
course it could carry explosives and
drop them on ship but | think its
use for that purpose is impracticablc.

The Wrlghts are wonderful men.
Without doubt they are the best |

Sir William Henry White formerly |

ard said:
The nations of the earth are not
disturbed over the likelihood of the |
isefullness of aeroplanes in time of
