AVIATION A LEGAL HAZARD
Court Says Insurance Go. Must
Paw Injured Policyholder.

The numerous deaths and injuries OF
aviators have convinced many persons
that flying In airships is hazardous. and
IL others have any doubt on the subject
perhaps the doubt will be dispeled by a
decision of the Appellate Division, which
decided yesterday that aviation is legally
a hazardous undertaking.
The decision was given in the suit OF
Albert Newton Ridgley against the Etna
Life Insurance Company, under whose
policy his heirs were 10 receive 100000 in
case Of his death. and he TO receive $3.50

Ridgley fell with his flying machine In
1911, but the insurance company refused
TO pay. He sued and recovered s2,31i
before Justice Ford. in the Supreme Court.
The defence of the company was that
when the aviator took out his policy he
gave his occupation as that Of financial
writer. and did not state that he made
airship ascents.
The insurance company appealed. and
the Appellate Division set aside the YER

under the ice then through the holes We
have made and reduces il underneath as

comes il blankets the ice and prevents II
from making. or course if it continues
cold after We have begun cutting, the
holes let the cold air in and that helps
make ice. It's all a gamble.
Then there's the question OF shrinkage

NEW WRIGHT STEERING
DEVICE Is DESCRIBED
Lever System Replaced by an
Auto Type of Wheel That
Makes Control Simple.

In letter TO the Aero Club of America
Yesterday, the Wright Aeroplane Com

dent. announced it had been decided to
make public the features of it's new de-
vice for stabilizing aeroplanes. IL was the
reoult of years OF experiment il was
stated. The letter says
The usual lever system has been re-
placed by an automobile type OF steer
ing wheel in combination with handle,
which makes the control not only
stronger and simpler. but much more ef-
fective. Formerly the elevator was con-
trollej by forward and backward move
ment OF a lever in the left hand while
the warping and rudder were controlled
BY the forward and backward movement
OF a lever in the right hand. the rudder
being offset for turn by turning the
handle OF this righthand lever. This con-
troll which has been used ever since 1905
was very effective for exhibition flying.
for which IT was particularly designed.
But for long distance fights many
avators found this control tlresome. and
in the new and safer machine II has be-
come necessary TO modify H.
The steering wheel is OF automobile
type. and the control Is perfectly in
stinctive. the wheel being pushed forward
and backward TO control the elevation OF
the machine, and turned from side TO
side to balance II laterally. In turning
the wheel from side 10 side, the rud,ier
handle Is turned with the wheel, thus
giving a perfect lateral balance
This type OF control was adopted after
very careful study OF all existing symp-
toms, and combines many features that
