ANNAPOLIS FLIGHT
TODAY DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER
College Park Aviators Fear
Postponement Will Be
is Necessary.

After behaving perfectly yesterday,
tne weather man is trying to be
naughty today, and the proposed flights
OF the army officers from College Park,
No. over to Annapolis may have to be
postponed
That all-powerful little word 'if' al
ways takes a hand in the aviation
game, and flights cannot be made with
out it.
Captain Beck and Lieutenants Arnold,
Kirkland, and Kennedy were so pleased
with the way their machines acted last
evening on the fight over 10 Benning
and return that they are more anxious
than ever to fly to Annapolis.
Should the skies be clear and the at
mosphere smooth, the three machines
will sail over to the Naval school and
return this evening. They expect to
leave about o'clock and return about
sundown. The airline course is twenty
four miles, but before they finish the
trip they expect to cover more than
fifty miles.
In the cross-country fight of the
army aviators last evening from Col
lege Park to Benning and return, Lieut.:
Frank Kennedy, passenger In the OLD
Wright biplane controlled by Lieut.:
II. ii. ArnOlQ, LOOK ulONlu6 'plSlulOS Va
the country.
A reel Of 14O feet of film was used.
The moving picture inst trument, weigh
ing only twenty pounds, was held In
Lieutenant Kennedy's lap. The lenses
were strong enough to take picture
from an altitude of 1000 feet, and would
cover a space of 100 yards wide. The
instrument is worked by little crank,
one turn being made a secopd. The
reel lasted the entire distapce from
College Park to Benning, and II the
film shows up well the towns Of River,
dale. Hyattsville, and Mt. Rainier will
he shown in the picture. The film
will be developed soon and shown to
the OFFICERS in Col. George P. Scrivens'
office in the War Department.
The object in getting moving pictures
on such a trip is to show the practi-
.cability of the moving picture machine
in helping the army officers get a
map of the surrounding country where
they are stationed. II the venture
proves entirely satisfactory the moving
picture machine may be used by the
aviators in war times to get maps.

Lorimer in Peril
AS Disabled Aero
Skins Over Head

CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Senator William
Lorimer narrowly escaped injury and
possibly death at a Labor Day celebra-
tion when a Curtiss biplanc, driven by
August Kuzick. failed to respond to the
operator and. skimming over the heads
of the thousands of merry1nakers,
crashed into a tree and fell to the
ground. Kuzick was only slightly hurt.
Senator Iorimer established a new
Senatorial record. He is the only United
States Senator living or dead who has
had hat knocked OF by swiftly rcov-
ing aeroplaDe. The Senator says the
aviator is entitled to all the credit
Kusick was to make his aeroplane
flight and the Senator was then to in
dulge in a few oratorical flights. With
the first whirr of the motor everyone
was on tiptoe to see the big machine
ascend. Gradually IT rose above the

Army Flyers Master
Code of Signals for
Use in Aerial Work

Capt. Paul w. Beck and his corps Of
lieutenants at College Park have in the
short space of one week almost mas
tered a new code Of signals. This code
is similar to the one used by the army,
and within the next month will be Of
ficiaIly adopted by the Signal Corps. and
all Government aviators in the future
will Abe made to learn 1t.
BY the code 1t is possible for aviators
to communicate with each other from
machine to machine while in the air,
or to signal brother officers on the
ground.
This work, along with the anounce-
ment that the flying machines are to
be equipped for wireless telegraphy, and
noiseless engines, places the aeroplane
another step ahead as a useful factor in
war

crowd and cry of appreciation greeted
It.
Then suddenly the hum OF the motor
gave way to a resoGnding crash. The
propellers ceased revolving and the ma
chine, taking dangerous tilt to one
side, swooped down over the crowd.
The merriment of an instant before
gave way to panic. There was a rush
for safety. All were enabled to get out
of danger except Senator Lorimer's hat.
The Senatorial headgear was struck BY
the dip of q plane and sert whirlins
out over the crowd. Then the machine
hit a tree and fell to the ground.

Aviation Deaths Start
Determined Movement
To Compel Regulation

PARIS, Sept. 5.-With four noted
French aviators killed in three days, a
determined movement was started to-
day to compel more careful regulation
OF exhibition flights. Two men were
incinerated In midair because OF leaks
in their gasolene tanks: one fell a great
distance because Of defects In his mo-
tor, and one was precipitated 600 feet
because of q break IN his plane.

windows of the judiciary building and
the noses of the Board of Health, two
cottages in fair condition are being
removed to make way for a two-story
tenement house. 1t seems a pity if
there is no law to prevent the placing
of such an establishment in that loca'

if they keep their systems full of
alcohol they are immune from the

raj of the cholera deaths have resulted
in cases where the victim had been
on a protracted spree.

WILLIAM MEANS KILLED.

William Means, aged % years, EN-.
ployed by the Security Brewing Com
pany as an assistant driver, was killed
at $3.50 o'clock Saturday night when
he fell, while asleep, from a wagon of
the company at Olivier and Evelina
streets. The animals attached to the
vehicle became frightened and made a
sudden lurch, subsequently running
away. In falling Means struck his
head, apparently on the hub of the
wagon wheel, and sustained a fracture
of the base of the skull. He shortly
afterwards expired. DR.. j. E. Pollock
was called, but the case was a hopeless
one. Means lived with his brother, A.

A CLOSE CALL.

During the riot last Wednesday
morning when the negro Edwards ran
amuck on the ferry boat Josie, and
shot to death Officer Joe Lacoste and
seriously wounded Corporal Roussel
and two other citizens, John Sprada,
the proprietor of Sprada's Cafe, corner
Morgan and the levee, upon hearing
the disturbance ran to the second floor
of his establishment where he sta
toned himself at a side window where
he had a good view Of the entire af-
fair. Mr.. Sprada gave a good descrip-
tion Of how Corporal Roussel and Cor
poral Bengert shot to death this ne
gro. Mr.. Sprada, while standing in
the window with a Winchester in his
hand, waitingS for an opportunity to
get a shot at the negro without en-
dangering the life of anyone else, was
missed only a few feet by one Of the
bullets from the weapon in the negro's
hands. The force of the bullet can
be better described by stating it pene-
trated the wall Of the building, passing
through several thicknesses of wood
on the inside, and making quite a hole
in the brick chimney. The bullet,
which Mr.. Sprada has, was found at
this point. Had Mr.. Sprada been
standing one foot nearer to the right
he would have received, perhaps, a
fatal wound.
