Emile Berliner. 1t is more or less like
one OF the Bleriot machines in appear
ance, but considerably lighter. It is q
monoplane, with two big birdlike wings
and a long tail. on which is fixed the
horizontal rudder that raises and lowers
the machine. 1t is driven by one OF the
two Adams-Farwell engines that Mr. Ber-
liner has in his laboratory. AS the ma
chine was first constructed 1t had the
main planes held in place by springs.
and these were expected to afford an
automatic balance. But 1t was decided
to dispense with the springs. and the
trial was made yesterday without any
provision for lateral balance. 1t was
this that led to the final accident.
Mr.. Moore made several trials. but had
to shut off the power to avoid running
into fence.
Collision With Fence.
A trial was then made by Sam Lut-
trell, who has also experimental con-
siderably with aeroplanes and elders on
his own account. The same trouble
about the lack Of control was expert
enced and the machine this time dashed
into the fence. The propeller was wreck
ed and one wing was smashed. but the
chassis was uninJured and 1t Is thought
that it will not take over a week to make
the necessary repairs.
Both Luttrell and Moore are satisfied
with the way the machine acted and
say that it showed that the engine is
powerful enough to make it ny. When
the machine is repaired and brought out
for another trial, in all probability the
big seven-cylinder engine on which Mr..
Moore is working will be ready to In
stall. 1t is made largely out Of venadiun
steel. 1t will develop about fifty horse
power for $50 pounds weight. AS soon
as the new monoplane gets a lateral con
troll installed it probably will prove very
speedy.
1t is thought that the system Of control
to be installed will be practically The
wing-warping device OF the Wrights.

CORONER ORDERS AN AUTOPSY

Mrs. Daphne NJ. Floyd, not quite TWEEN
| ty-two years old and beautiful, wife of
Henry B. Floyd, government clerk and
| instructor in chemistry at the George
Washington University, committed suicide
last night in her apartment at the Bur-
lington by taking poison.
Clinical symptoms were so contradic-
tory that Coroner hewitt found it neces-
sary to have an autopsy performed in or
der to determine just what poison Mrs.
Floyd had taken, and her body was re-
moved to Wright's undertaking estaib-
lishment. 1887 10th street. where the au-

was shown that death was caused by cy-

had made several unsuccessful efforts to
take her life. Last night about IL
o'clock Mr.. Floyd was awakened by the
heavy breathing Of his wife. He got up
and tried to arouse her, but was unable
| to do so.
Physicians Summoned.
| The husband then summoned Drs. A.
L. Hunt and D. C. Chadwick, who labored
| hard to save her life, but shortly after
| midnight she died. Coroner hewitt was
| summoned to the apartment. He made a
| partial investigation and had Detective

Mr.. Floyd tod Coroner hewitt that he
and his wife had had slight misunder-
standing early in the evening. He went
| out to attend to his duties and when he
| returned to his apartment he was greeted

been paid to their misunderstanding.
Mrs. Floyd was reading q novel and
! remarked to her husband that she would
| retire as soon as she finished it, saying
good night when he went to the bed
chamber. 1t could not have been very
long afterward that she retired, for it
was long before midnight when her la
| bored breathing aroused her husband.
The written message was discovered in
one of the drawers of the dresser and it
was the only thing found in the apart
4 meht which gave any information about
the suicide. Mrs. Floyd said nothing to
| her husband last night to Indicate she
contemplated self-destruction. It is said
she had displayed evidences of suffering
from melancholia. probably caused by
sickness, and relatives are unable to as
sign any other cause for her act.
