SAFE AERO HIS INVENTION.
Christopher J. Lake Says Machins
viii RevoIutionize Flying.

New York. July l1.-Christopher ].
Lake. father of Simon Lake. inventor of
the Lake submarine, announced today
that he has at last perfected AN aero
plane that will revolutionize flying, for
il is possessed of qualities that make 1t
absolutely safe.
The long death roll among aviators--
80 persons have been killed-is due prin-
cipally to the failure of the machine to
maintain its equilibrium when something
happens that necessitates the reducing
Of the speed" said Mr.. Lake. The
modern aeroplane cannot soar unless
the engine is going at full speed. II it
stops for any cause while in the air and
the aviator fails to notice this in time
to begin gliding to earth, the aeroplane
drops like a shot.
II realized some years ago that the
need of the hour was to revolutionize
the machine. and now I have done it,
My aeroplane is the same weight and
size as the modern biplane, or mono
plane. and can be started from either
water or land. When in the air it can
proceed at any rate of speed, and when
the engine is stopped 1t will glide to the
earth. Any accidents. excepting the
breaking Of the planes, will not endan-
ger the aviator o. his passenger"

LOUISIANA REPORT FILED.
Lieut.. Sterling and Machinist Lowe
Warned ON Account Of Accident.

Warned ON Account OF Accident.
Neglect Of duty upon the part of Junior
officers Of the battIeship Louisiana is
given as one of the causes Of the re-
cent flooding of the engine room OF that
vessel while repairs were being made to
certain valves in a report yesterday re-
ceiyed at the Navy Department from
Rear Admiral Badger. commander-in-
chief OF the fleet.
Commander Badger recommended that
Lieut. Sterling and Machinist Lowe
should be warned and this was done
It was shown that they failed properly
to supervise the work of repairs which,
the board declared. was a dangerous Job
and should have been attended with
great precaution. All proper precautions
were taken for the safety of the ship
after the accident occurred.
Considerable interest was attached to
the matter. because of the fact that the
accident occurred on the Louisiana Just
day before Capt. Potts, its commander,
was compulsorily retired by the pluck
Ing board. He was at the time highly
praised for the efficient manner in which
his ship was handled after the accident
occurred.
