a talk with Superintendent Davidson,

AEROPLANE FLEET J
At COLLEGE PARK
TO Be INCREASED
Two, and Possibly Three,
Machines Will Be Pur-
chased for Army.

Gen. James Allen. head Of the Signal
Corps, War Department, says pros
poets are good now for the Signal Corps
detailed at the army aviation school
at College Park. He expects To get at
least two men within the next few days.
Upon the return of the officers from
New York and IF Captain Chandler
from Sandy Hook, General Allen will
announce the intended purchase of at
least two, and possibly three, new aero
planes for College Park. The kind of
machines TO be bought is not yet known
for the selection will greatly depend
upon the ones recommended by Captain
Chandler and the other officers.
1t is practically certain, however, that
one will be a double-control, 10o-horse-
power CGrtiss biplane, capable OF max
ing seventy-flve miles an hour under
average conditions, and 100 miles an
hour with the wind as a helper. This
is one of the fastest machines yet made.
1t is construc TO carry a passenge-
in addition to the pilot, and 80 ar
ranged that the control can be shifted
from either seat. a Wight machine
will. no doubt, be added If the third
machine is purchased. it will probably
be a n'onoplane of foreign make, the
Bleriot, Antoinette, or Nieuport pre-
ferred.
At present there are four machines
at College Park, two of The Wright type
and two of the Curtiss make. When
the additions are made, one machine
will more than likely be sent to San
Antonio. Tex, permanently, and an
other to San Diego. The remaining four
or five will go to one place in the South
this winter. where they will conduct
Numerous experiments. The Signal
corps officers nope that within the next
Elk months they VIII haze a feet of
at least fifteen aeroplanes in the army.

SHUNS PROGRESSIVE
WAR ON TAFT TO
GAIN GOVERNORSH|P
James R. Garfield Would
Like to Be Next Ex-
ecutiVe of Ohio.

Considerable surprise Is being ex-
pressed among the progressive Republi-
can leaders here because James r.
Garfield. of Ohio. has not Joined In the
insurgent movement in that State.
Assurances have reached the progress
sive headquarters here that a large
number of Ohio Republicans will at
tend the progressive conference at
Chicago, October Is. But Mr.. Garfield
will not be among them.
The former Secretary OF the Interior
Is headed for Mexico and IS non-com-
initial on the question of whether he
will join the progressive movement.
While the situation as to Mr.. Gar
field has caused considerable comment
among the La Toilette supporters, in
view Of the relations of Mr.. Garfield
to the President in the past, there Is
no mystery about It.
AS a matter Of fact, Mr.. Garfield is
being considered as a gubernatortal
possibility in Ohio and he has ambi-
tons for the governorship. Moreover,
he is getting support and encourage
nent from the Taft wing Of the party.
Two and two make four as a rule in
politics as in other things and Mr..
Garfield is not prepared at this time
to throw away the chances OF being
governor of Ohio for the sake of fight
ing President Taft in his home State
and for the sake of helping on the
Cause of the insurgents.
Nobody denies here that the friends
or President Taft In Ohio are playing
kOod politics in trying to have Mr..
Garfield take the nomination for gov
ernor. The Taft neutenants are cal
culatinG that Mr.. Garfield would gain
the support of a number of the Ohio
Republican insurgents for the Republi
can ticket and would help roll up a big
majority for Mr. Taft in 1872

Automatic RICHTER for
Aeroplanes Works Well
In College Park Test

A demonstration of the TaIbox auto
matte stability device was given at
College Park, Md, last evening. The
little instrument, which the inventor,
John P. Tarbox, claims will right the
position of an aerOplane automatically
while flying, regardless of whether the
aviator is holding the control, worked
successfully yesterday
To give the device a good test, the
seat control of the Schneider biplane in
which Joseph Richter, of New York,
was seated, was locked, forcing the avt-
ator to trust entirely in the ability Of
the automatic device to regulate the
balance of the machine In the air. The
biplane circled the field d number of
times, going as high as 800 feet. The
little instrument worked perfectly
