~.
Ever Seen Here.
ALSO MANY SURPRISES
The Enclosed Body Types
Show More Glass and
Fewer Panels.

The prevailing opinion of automobile
authorities who have attended the sew
enteenth annual Automobile Salon,
which opened at the Hotel Commodore
Sunday night, Is that the exhibition
features some of the best chassis and
custom coach work ever brought to-
gether in the United States. Those who
have gone to the Commodore show have
found many surprises, the most unusual
OF which are the developments in chassis
design and construction. These are ac-
centuated by the exhibition of made
stripped chassis which disclose such fea-
lures as straight-eight motors and four
wheel brakes.
There is nothing of a radical nature
shown in custom coach work. New
bodies have been created by changes in
the prevailing designs, and appearances
have been altered by a more artistic
treatment of tenders, running boards,
lamps. &c. The enclosed body types show
more glass and fewer panels. New stan
dards have been set in upholsterinS ma

Washington, May 30.-Appointment

Captain w. c.. Ocker, who was
caught in storm himself while fly

single seat plane, is senior member Of
the board. The others are Lieutenant
+. C. Wilkins, who was the first army
officer to go to the scene of the CRASH
and take charge of the bodies, and
Lieutenant Leroy Wolfe. They will
endeavor to determine among other
things whether the crash was the
suit of any defect in the design or
equipment of the airplane or of any
mistake or mismanagement on the
part of the pilot, Lieut.. s. M. Ames,
and whether the five army men met
their death in line of duty.
Flying officers in the city and at
Boiling field asserted emphatica1y to-
day their belief that Lieut.. Ames had

therefore been in a measure at least,
responsible for the accidents. He was
one of the best and coolest pilots of
the service, and familiar with the olg
Curtiss plane, they declared. They
were also declined to discredit reports
that the wrecked machine was de-
fective in design. Major Soanlon Dr.
clared that he had piioted a similar
plane, without the ambulance equip
ment to New York with eight passen-
gers recently and found it satisfactory
in every way.
The board of investigation visited
the scene of the wreck today and took
the testimony Of persons who were
nearby when the Eagle crashed. They
made a careful study of the wreckage
and afterward had it burned, as it
was considered unsanitary No part of
the plane was salvageable, officers
said, adding that army aviators would
not fly in plane earring any equip
ment taken from the wrecked machine
any way.
1t seemed probab BILE that the details
of the accident would never be known
as every man of the plane was killed.
