sary to drop to the water, Is 80 feet
In length. The spread of the upper
plane is ~ feet and of the lower 4s
feet The wing surface is 79S square
feet The total weight is 5000 pounds.
These measurements show the aero
plane to he nearly twice as large as
any other ever built
The boat in which there is cabin
for the aviators Is built of white
cedar and the hull is very thin. With
the planes and engine above it looks
much like a whale with wings. The
curves of the boat were worked out
scientifically to permit speed in both
water and air. The hull weighs $50
pounds, but it Is said to have a carry
Ing capacity of more than four times
launch the same size The ma
chinery, tanks and planes weigh about
$500 pounds.
In the cabin there will be sleeping
quarters. but there will not be much
time for sleep. Lieutenant Porte
does not know whether or not he will
try to sleep. But if everything goes
well he will probably take turns with
his assistant in doing off-after
they have been up long enough to be
worn by their work.

Archduke Was Warned
of Feeling Against Him
by Minister in Vienna
BY Associated Press

London, June 29.-Every dispatcb
to-day from Sarajevo and Vienna
Drought additional evidence that the
ASSASSINATION of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and the Duchess of Hohen-
oerg yesterday was one of the most
carefully planned crimes ever carried
out against royal personages.
indications from the scene of the
tragedy show that it was engineered
by persons possessing more mature or
ganizing ability than that of the
youthful assassins. 1t is generally
thought in Austria and Hungary that
the plotters had their headouarters in
belgrade. The ServIan hatred of Aus
tfians, which always has been, violent.
mas been fomented by the newspapers
IN belgrade and by agtators through
SerVla and Bosnia who have helped
TO 1nfiame the minds of the students
and to induce them to sacrifice their
lives in the belief they will go down
in history as patriots.
yesterdays crime seems likely to
nave contrary effect to that desired
by its authors. Even before the bod
les OF the murdered couple have been
paiieu, the austrian authorities are
contemplating severe measures against
the serbs among the inhabitants of
austria ana Bosnia. These measures
are likely further to embtter the rela-
lons between the two countries as
well as those between Austria and
Russia, the protector of all the Serbs.
Aware of Danger
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, 1t is
asserted today, was well aware of the
danger he was running during his tour
OF Bosnia, which he undertook as in
spector general of the forces of the
empire. This title was conferred upon
him last year by Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. His chief task was to inspect
the Austrian army which guarded the
Servian frontier during the recent
Balkan wars and prevented any en-
croachments by Servian troops.
The Servian minister at Vienna told

days its parts will be packed for the
trip to Newfoundland, from which
place Lieutenant ]. c. Porte, the
British naval officer and his assis-

the flight across the Atlantic. They
will likely sail during the first week
in July. Their course will be from
Newfoundland to the Azores, then
to the Spanish coast north of Por-

The airship has been built in the
yards of Mr.. Curtiss at Hammonds-

have been constructed. Mr.. Curtiss

Lieutenant Porte is confident he
will make the journey safely Should
everything prove satisfactory the mid
