READY TO FLY OVER SEVERN
Ames FLYING Machine Expected To Arrive
AT Naval Academy Today

Considerable mystery surround the
tests which are to be made at the
Naval Academy within the next few
days of the flying machine invented
by Representative Butler Ames, of
Massachusetts, who has recently
sprung into prominence through his
efforts to dislodge Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, from the United States
Senate and take his place there.
Mr.. Ames is preparing to install
his machine on the torpedo boat
Bagley, at the Washington navy
yard, having obtained permission
from Secretary of the Navy Meyer
to use that vessel in his expert
ments. The Bagley was expected
to leave Washington for this city
last Tuesday morning, but one thing
after another has delayed her de-
parture. 1t is now expected that
she will arrive this afternoon.
The Ames flying machine is an
entirely new model. 1t consists of
two large canvas-covered cylinders,
with space in between for a seat,
to be occupied by the operator. In
this space also, it is understood, will
be placed the engine that is expected
to drive the machine upward and for
ward. 1t is understood, however, that
Mr. Ames does not intend to ascend in
the machine at the Naval Academy,
or have anyone else try to do so. II
is to be fastened to platform on the
Bagley in such way that it can rise
only short distance.
The plan is to have the torpedo boat
steam ahead at high speed and see
what the lifting power of the flying
machine will be with the air rushing
under its cylindrical vanes. A weigh
may be used in place of man.

WOMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE

Accident.

Presumably respondent over the
death of her husband, Edward Carter.
and the problem of providing for
| herself and three small children, Mrs.
Gertrude Carter attempted to end
her life at her farm near Camp Parole
this morning it is thought.
Shortly after o'clock she shot and
dangerously wounded herself in the
left breast with a revolver. DR.. ].
Oliver Purvis, of Annapolis, was
summoned and after seeing the con.
dition of his patient, determined to
take her at once to Baltimore to a
hospital there This was done at 8
o'clock
Mrs. Carter is the daughter of John
Junger, and is about 80 years of age.
Her husband, Edward Carter, died
very suddenly about seven months ago
and the burden of providing for her
family bas devolved upon her since
that time.
1t is claimed by friends of Mrs.
Carter, who were on the scene shortly
after the accident, that the affair was
an accident and not an attempt at sui
eide. Mrs. Carter is said to be in a
very precarious condition, and very
little hopes are entertained for her
recovery. She has internal hemor-
rhages from the wound.
Miss McNasby, of this city, who
was at Mrs. Carter's shortly after the
shooting, stated to a Capital repre-
sentative that Mrs. Carter attempted
to remove the pistol from beneath
the mattress when making the bed
this morning and the weapon explod-
ed accidentally. AS proof of this,
the lady's friends say her hand is
burned with the powder.
