MAY NOT BE OBSERVED.
Washington Aero Club Not Likely
to Celebrate Langley Day

So far as could be learned from the
Washington Aero Club. up to date
there is no prospect of Langley day
being observed this year. For three
years past the club has made a practice
of observing May 9 with aeroplane
flights and usually some speeches i'll
memory of the first flight Of heavier
than-air machine by Prof. Langley at
Whitewater. Va, May 8. 1896. This year
the army and navy aviators, who here
tofore have been depended on to fur
nsh machines and fliers for the cele-
bration. are elsewhere engaged.
The Washington Aero Club has no
ma chimes or fIiers at its comma nd. and
there are no machines in this region
that can be depended on to take part.
1t was said by one Of the aero club
members yesterday that there was a
very scant possibility of finding some
machines and aviators before the Gus
tomary date of the celebratio but
that the prospect was remote. and it
was more than likely the celebration
would be Indefinitely postponed.

Railroad claims regarding anything
nowadays must be taken with q bar
rel of salt. Following close on the
disclosure Of the frauds perpetrated
upon the stockholders by the director
ates Of the Frisco and the New Haven
comes statement from the interstate
commerce commission charging the
c., B. & st. P. R. R. with falsely re-
porting "a decrease Of $4,000 900 in in
come due to failure to obtain higher
freight rates." It is also charged that
sit falsely reported the income Of its
Puget Sound company to be more than
100000 in excess of its income; and
that the Puget Sound company false
ly reported valuation of its property
which was 100000 in excess of its
cash Investment" Evidently the
claims of the different railroads as to
their income under existing freight
rates need to be carefully investigated
before any advances are permitted.
