TAFT SEES AERO TESTS
Lincoln Beachey Puts the New
Curtiss Machine Through
Its PAGES.

Lincoln Beachey, the Curtiss aviator.
rather unexpectedly put the new Curtiss
aeroplane through two of the govern
ment tests at College Park yesterday
afternoon. The new machine is of the
weight-carrier type that has been con-
tracted for by the government. There
was some trouble Saturday getting all
the parts from q box that was twice car
ried past College Park by fast trains. 1t
finally arrived late Saturday afternoon
and the machine was put together before
Sunday afternoon.
Beachey went out to the park intending
only to look the machine over. but he
found that President Taft was going out
to look over the aviation school. SO he
had the machine brought out and made
few warming-up turns around the field.
After the President arrived, Beachey
started the speed test, carrying his mech
anician, Cranch, of the Curtiss factory,
as a passenger and had a total load of
$50 pounds, as required by the govern
ment regulations.

Young Wheeling, who is but twenty
two years of age has been teaching
the school in the on Springs distric-.
He has been studying for admission
to the bar and it is thought that his
mind has given way, temporarily,

cation to his legal studies while car

grave Authorizations, it is thought
that his alteration will prove to be
