SLIGHT ACCIDENT TO
DESTROYER ROE

Owing to slight accrdent to the
destroyer Roe yesterday morning the
scouting work at the aeronautical
school was interrupted, but will be
resumed again today. When the Roe
was moving from her dock at the
yard, preparatory to making the run
into the gulf, she fouled the aviation
buoy, anchored a short distance from
shore, in front of the hangers.
The buoy became entangled with
the propeller blades of the destroyer,
and forced her to put back to the sta
ton to disengage the chain. This re-
quired some time, but the blades
were found unchanged, and the acci-
dent viii not interfere with the work.
The buoy was damaged slightly.
The sea scouting work at the sta
ton has been carried on for two
weeks and is considered very valu-
able branch of the work. Much of the
work has been confined to testing
instruments for use at the school

CURTISS BOAT Is
BEING REBUILT HERE

The work of rebuilding a Curtiss
flying boat at the aeronautical school
is nearly complete, and the machine
will probably be placed in active SER
vice next week.
Practically the entire machine was
built at the flying school, with the
exception of the motor, many parts
of which were made in the foundry at
the yard. The craft was formerly in
use here, and with the rebuilding will
be in as good condition as ever.
In this connection, it was stated
that the school here is now in con-
dition for building aeroplanes, without
motors, and the enlargement of the
scope of the plant will permit great
err exercise Of these facilities.

This Feature.
JOINT MEETING
BE HELD SOON
This Was Decided Upon
At Meeting of Board of
Carnival Directors.

That the Carnival Association will
cooperate with the Phunnakers in
continuing their parade during the

ter was the decision Of the board Of
directors of the association at the
meeting Wednesday afternoon. No
definite plan has been arranged, but
a joint meeting of the boards of di-
rectors of the two associations will
be held at an early date to formulate
method Of jointly carrying on the
work.
The decision was made after it be-
came evident that the Phunmakers
would probably discontinue their par
ade unless some assistance was rem
dered. 1t is understood that the
Phunmakers are recognizing their
board of directors and with the help
of the carnival association will hold
the largest celebration in the history
of the organization.

NEW KITE BALLOON
GIVEN FIRST TEST

The new kite balloon which was
received at the aeronautical station
last week was tested for the first
times yesterday, under the supervis-
ion of Lieutenant Commander Nc
Creary. The results of the trial were
not made public but it is understood,
that it was entirely satisfactory.
The big craft was constructed by
the Goodyear Rubber Company and
is exactly the same as the first one
received here, which is at present on
board the North Carolina. 1t was
inflated at the flying school, and TAX
en- to the grounds yesterday for trial.
The method of controlling the big
bag, so feet long and 25 feet wide,
is one of the interesting sidelights
on the flight of the balloon. Extra
precautions are taken in anchoring it
before flight, as the escape of the
first one demonstrated the made
quacy of single rope. The present
NtH6JI1Ou COuSlSIS III d ndII HESS WHICH
covers the bag, like a net, with long
fastening ropes attached, six on eth
er side. These are tied to concrete
anchors embedded in the earth, and
6eep the craft on an even keel until
ready for release.
When the signal is given the har.
ness is slipped and the balloon il
held solely by the control rope. Thi;
is more than a thousand feet long
and tied directly to the balloon. From
the balloon, it is passed through
ground pulley, laid along the earth
and through as many other pulleys al
to insure its free operation. Th'
other end of the rope is tied to {
large motor truck, which is moved of
some distance.
At a given signal the driver of th'
truck slowly moves toward tn
ground pulley, under the balloon
which pays out the control rope, al
lowing the balloon to ascend. B,
moving the truck the craft can b
raised or lowered at will.

COULD STAND LIFE
ON BORDER BUT
NOT PEASA. LIQUOR

Life on the Texas border was
easy as compared with expert
ences in Pensacola, as a soldier,
attached to one of the COM
panies which returned yesterday
after a three-month stay over
there will testify. This soldier,
who would not tell his name,
nor would comrades divulge his
identity, dropped into a Palafox
street saloon and had one round
of drinks with friends. Sand .
witches and a bottle of beer fol-
lowed next, and while this
round was passed around, the
soldier in question dropped to
the floor, as limp as a rag. All
efforts Of crrrades to bring HIM
around, were unsuccessful.
A sergeant reported to the
police station that a private had
been poisoned, or something had
happened to him, and an officer
was sent to investigate. The un-
conscious soldier was removed
to- the Park Hotel and put ~
bed, where he was seen by the
city physician. It was said that
a touch of acute Indigestion had
been suffered, and that he woulu
recover. He spent the night at
the hotel.
