Test of Bamboo Filler at Ben

NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
John H. Smiley Believes He Has
Achieved Success.
MACHINE WEIGHS 225 POUNDS
If Successful, Steel Construction
Will Be Tried and Govern
ment Interest Invoked

Benning race track will he the scene
of the next aeroplane trials to be held il,
Washington. though the trials will not
be open to the public, and it is not alb
solutely certain that the machine will
fly Everything looks propitious, however.
and the machines will be taken there to-
morrow
j. III. Smiley. who has been working
on a monoplane here for several months.
is the inventor in question. and. having
completed his machine. is going to give
il trial. as stated, over the intield of
the Benning track. The machine was
first put together in a small shop on
Capitol Hill. and was Lien moved to
the Vermont garage. near Thomas Circle,
where it has been for several weeks re-
ceivng the finishing touches.
1t is the first monoplane built in Wash
ngton and if it proves successful will be
the first one to fly in the United States.
The machine is built on novel lines but
is counterpart of gliders which Mr..
Smldley has operated and which have
proved successful. The point of greatest
interest to ayiators is that his weights
supporting surface and horsepower are all
about of the accepted standard for sue
cessful machines. The monoplane has
weight of about DO pounds and carries a
little over a pound to the square foot of
supporting surface. 1t has an eighteen
horsepower two-cylinder air-cooled motor
that drives an eight-foot two-bladed pro-
peller with an increase in pitch. which
theoretically should give a driving force
of go pounds. Mr. Smiley says his pre-
vious experiments have shown him that
he will be able to get into the ar if the
propeller develops $50 pounds.

CURTISS rs BETTER.
Wright Brothers Aeroplane Suit
Rifles Him.

RHEIMS. August .5-Glenn II. Curtiss
expressed great surprise today at the de-
clsion of the Wright brothers to sue him
personally. He insists that the WriShts
never have specified completely wherein
he has infringed upon their patents.
Cortland +. Bishop, president of the
Herring-Curtss Company, maintains
that the Wright claim for a basic patent
is not good and that Mr.. Curtss does not
employ the warping wing principle which
is distinctive feature of the Wright
machine.
The partisans OF Mr.. Curtiss are mani
Testing considerable bitterness against tie
Wrights for bringing this suit at the mo-
ment when Mr. Curtiss is the sole rep
resentative of the United States in a for
eisn flying contest. especially as they de-
clined to enter this contest themselves
and the Wright aeroplanes here are class
ed as French machines.
1t is understood that the Wright broth
ers always have insisted that most of
the foreign types of flying machines Were
infrngements upon their patents, but
they purposely refrain from bringing suit
until aviation week should have demon
strated the superiority of their machines
Such suits will then be brought
