Just what Orville Wright will do with
Glenn II. Curtiss still remains IN douo-
Mr.. Curtlss was the principal defendant in
the recent patent litigation and his rela-
lions with the Wrights have long been
strained. Since the patent decision. Il IL
said. Mr. Curtiss has been building flying
boats for foreign shipment at his factory
In Hammondsport. but the infringing rud-
ders have been made and attached abroad
The Wright Company considers this q
substantial infringement on It's patents,
Mr.. Barnes told Mr.. Beachey. and II he
continues Mr.. Curtiss may expect an in
junction In the near future. The Wright
Company will not deal lightly with in
FINGERS and on account OF old scores Il
will take especial care that Mr.. Curtiss
pays every dollar OF royalty money or

Mr.. Beachey was the frst fler TO apply
to the Wright Company for a license. He
intends to do all NJ. Pigoud's stunts and
more here this summer. He will tour the
country with Barney Oldheld under the
management OF William PIckens
II will loop the loop in New York be-
fore the end of June" Beachey said Yes

When Arnold Kruckman unlocked his
room at the McAlpn after lunch yester-
day he found the following note showed
under the door:
DEAR KRUCKMAN: A novice wants TO
enter around the world. Leaving 3 p. NJ.
on the second leg. VIII try to see YOU
but have many loops TO loop.
"BEAciiEY."
Mr.. Kruckman. who IL manager OF
aeronautics OF the Panama Pacific expo
sition, was elated over the news Mr.
Beachey told him over the telephone after
ward that he is having n special tractor
machine built by Glenn Martin of San
Francisco for the around the world flight
And Beachey Is going to train for the
Night just as runner trains for cross
country race.
The Wright Companys decision to keep
out foreign flers does not apply to the
world race. That race has been licensed
on the basis OF the amount OF prize money
offered in this country. The Wright Com
pany will get a lump sum from the expo
sition covering all the machines that start.
