her room and then filled a bucket
with oil. He went upstairs to her
room, left the bucket outside and at
tempted to attack her. She fought
him. A few minutes later he return

clothing and the room, then knocked
over the lighted kerosene lamp and
left her to her fate.

Expert Curtiss
Sees Possibilities
in "Sea-Soaring"

Port Washington, \. Y, Sept
Glenn. H. Curtiss, aviation expert,
today went sea soaring" over Man
hasset Bay in sail plane which on
two occasions took the air when
40 seconds each time with the tow
line cut and then glided gracefully
down to the water again. This was
said to- have been the first time q
marine glider had ever risen from the
the water.
At the end of the experiment, OBJ
served by a large party of engineers,
Mr.. Curtis expressed himself well
pleased with the result of the test,
made under adverse conditions with
a light wind and then gave himself
over to interesting speculation on
the possibility of ''airtrains-a num-
Der of small sail planes toWed
through the air by a motored sea-
plane.
The theory that trailers could be
attached to a flying boat was adj
vanced by aviation experts who
watched the flights after it was dis
covered that the sail plane tugged
very lightly at the tow line.
The sail plane used in today's tests
was, except for it's blunt nose. al
most complete copy on reduced
scale. of the n. c. 4, the first aircraft
to fly the Atlantic.
Today'S experiments started with
three unsuccessful attempts to get
the sail plane into the air. Failure
to rise attributed to the almost dead
calm that prevailed
Finally slight breeze arose. After
it had been towcd about quarter of a
mile at S5 miles an hour the glider
rose Il feet from the water. The tow
line was cut. The flight lasted 40
seconds.
Later another flight of equal length
was made at about 80 feet.
This is the first step in sea-soar-
ing" said Mr.. Curtiss. The prob
lem here is different from that made
by the German gliders, which recently
remained aloft so long. Theirs was
the problem of maintaining balance on
vertical air currents. Here we have
no such currents, for the currents
move parallel with the water. We
must pattern after the albatross,
which takes off from a wave and scars
Immediately.
The German gliders have the ad-
vantage of starting from height and
being held aloft by the vertical cur
rents. Here we are without this ad-
vantage. but l believe that the sail
plane can be developed to stage
where, with a small motor of five or
six horse power, we can remain in The
air very we'll"
Mr.. Curtiss explained that if mo-
torcycle engine could be used to get
the sail plane into the air. the engine
then could be cut out and the machine
could sail without power. The engine
later could be cut in when the sail
plane began to settle and cut out again
when sufficient altitude had been
reached The process he predicted
could be repeated and comparatively
long flights made with the use of little

Big Majority
for LaFollette in
Wisconsin Primary

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 6-(By A.
Ex-senator Robert NJ. Lafollette of
Madison. has been swept into the
Republican nomination for United
Sattes senator at the November cleo
ton in this state by the greatest ma
jority that any candidate has ever
polled at a primary in Wisconsin.
Returns received from more than
four fifths of the state early tonight
showed him leading by 1888, w. A.
Garfield of Waukesha, president of
Carroll college. his only opponent.
The vote from 2057 out Of 1928 pre-
clnctS in the state was: Lafollette
294, S57; Garfield 116,524.
In rolling up this tremendous ma
him what was known as the entire
Lafolette slate from United States
senator to attorney general
What appears to be the only real
upset of the primary is the contest
for congressman in the 18th district,
where Congressman Adolphus L.
Nelson, rated as a dry and loyalty
supported by the Anti-Saloon League
is running more than 1000 behind HUI
bert H. Peavey Of Washburn, who
was Endorsed and assisted by the as
ISOLATION opposed to prohibition. The
wet organization is claiming Peaveys
election by a ma jority of 5000 or more.
The Lafollette adherents are not
the only ones elated in Wisconsin to-
night as the wet forces point with
pride to the fact that they supported
the entire Lafollette ticket from the
senator down and that they have
gained two wet congressman. These
two men are Peavey and George j.
Schneider, in the 9th district. The
latter race is far from being over,
however, Schneider and Judge Henry
Graas having alternated in the lead
all day for this nomination.
