FOR AER0NAUT1CAL CONTROL.
Cortlandt F. Bishop Favors More
Powerful National Body.

LENOX. Mass, November 19.-Control
Of aeronautics in this country by a body
Of broad national scope was advocated by
Cortlandt Field Bishop, former president
Of the Aero Club Of America, in a state
ment made here today.
Mr.. Bishop. who is In Lenox at present.
was asked his opinion on the situation
created by the convention OF aeronautic
clubs to be held in New York December
T. Last June q temporary organization
was effected. placing the national control
Of aeronautics In the hands Of a ma
tional council. whose chairman was to
be nominated by the Aero Club OF Amer
lea. The meeting next month Is to make
this a permanent organization. Mr.. Bishop
said today:
Speaking as q person interested In
aeronautics, and not as an omctal OF the
national council Or Of the Aero Club OF
America, I think the time has come for
the regulation Of aeronautics to be made
more Of q national character. broader In
scope and not controlled by any one
person.
at is time for q wider and more liberal
conduct OF aeronautic affairs, and I be-
lieye something should Immediately be
done to cope with the present situation
and ITS needs. There should be q re-
organization Of aeronsuttcal affairs en-
tirely on new lines. I believe that the
parent body. the Aero Club OF America.

plug, might have causei the disaster.
This might occur, it is decla ed. notwith-
standing every precaution was taken to
protect the firins crew from the failure
of a new gun under test.
The trouble In the present case lay In
the fact that the gun was discharged
before 1t was loaded The brass shell
containing the powder and the projectile
had been inserted in the piece and the
breechbox swung on its hinge.
L was learned last nj hi tnat the ord
nance bureau Of the navy has been trying
for a long time to find some safety device
applicable to Gums of this caliber, but
SO far without success, and IL the gun
captain fails to obey the rule to pass
his hand over the face of the breech
lock before II is closed to detect any
improper projection of the firing pin. then
such an accident as occurred yesterday
may happen at any time.
Effects Of the Explosion.
Lieut. Caffee was standing in the rear
Of the gun. and his men were grouped
about him. When the blast came the
breech flew back. splinters flying in every
direction simultaneously with the explo-
sion. James L. Brown the battery fore
man. and J. l. ary. ordnance man, re-
ceived the full force of the charge. and the
former was bow 20 piec. $. Lieut.. Caf-
fees body was crushed and parts of his
left limbs were torn away.
The noise Of the explosion shook the
minutes scores of employees were on the
scene. All the men still breathing when
found were hurried to the fospital on
the grounds. TIE officer died at 12:44
o'clock, Leary died at 1 :35 O'Clock ana
jackson expired shorty before ! o'clock
Neither Of the men was able to explain
the disaster before dying.
Dyson. the lookout man, whose duty
It was to signal persons nearby and
pass ng vessels Of the discharge, was
unable last night to give q description
Of the accident. It Is said he will prove
OF little assistance to the investigating

Killed In the Explosion nj Indian Head.
That the cause of the gun explosion at
Indian Head, Nd, which killed four men
yesterday and seriously injured another,
Is mystery and may never be ascer-
tained, is the opinion of officers and men
at the navy proving ground.
According to enlisted men and en-
ployes Of the station the Investigation
which has been ordered by the ordnance
bureau will not determine whether there
was anything wrong with the locking
apparatus of the firing pin on the five
inch gun which exploded and snuffed out
the lives of Lieut.. A. G. Caffee and three
of his gun c-ew
Great sorrow was expressed last night
at the station because of the disasters.
and it was a sad escort that conveyed the
body Of the dead naval officer. to the
tug which was to bear 1t to this city.
Lieut.. cHffee was very popular at the
reservation and wherever he was known,
and was regarded by subordinates and
superiors alike as being one OF the
best turret officers I'm the navy.
But One Witness.
There are no witnesses TO the tragedy
alive except Sydney Dyson. colored, who
1t is believed will not be able to describe
the accident because he was standing
some distance from the gun apd was
overcome by the fumes from the explo-
Sive powder
A singular fact about the explosion Is
that the gun is practically intact. except
that the breech block was blown away.
According to men at the post the crew
had loaded the cannon on the third proof
round and the breech was just being
closed when the premature blast took
place.
At the Navy Department II was inti-
