CHARGES WRIGHT PLANE
 IS NOT LIKE ORIGINAL

OAKLAND, Cal, April 16 Doe nments contesting recognition of the airplane which is being seni 10 British museum as the "ore. inal 1903 Wright airplane' haye been submitted to the Smithsonian Institution by Richard J. Mont gomery, brother and exeeutor Q. the estate of the late Professor J. ]. Montgomery, carly day aii navigation expert.
 Montgomery asserts that the plane being sent abroad is appaf ently reconstructed machine. IS sembled from many parts of tAs original plane, but when il was re built it was given cambered ol curved surface wings, whereas th4 original had flat surface oi straight wings.
 Contending that the Wright brothers in 1903 did not profess 10 be pioneers of airplane build ing. he alleges that they drew a distinction between "aeroplanes and flying machines and tha. their original patent was for 2 flying machine" the distinction being chiefly that a flying ma chine had motive power while : plane might be operated through mastery of the principles of equil ibrium and control with gravity as it's power, or otherwise thaa by machinery.
 The Oakland man declares thai the first patent for machine utilizing the principle of wing curvature was granted to Profes sor Montgomery in 1905, two years after the first flight of the Wrights and that the Wrights in their application for a patenl were distinctly apologetic' as te a curved wing.
 He quotes the Wrights pateni applications: We have used the term 'aeroplane in this specified ton and the appended claims te indicate the supporting surface O supporting surfaces. by means oi which the machine is sustained il the air. and by this term we wish 10 be understood as including any suitable supporting surface which normally is substantially flat. a, though of course, when construct ed of cloth or other light fabric as We prefer to construct them these surfaces may receive morf or less curvature from the resist ance of the air"
 Although Montgomery patenti were issued two years after th Wrights had flown, the Oakland man alleges that the Wrights an Professor Langley as well made use of air navigation principles discovered by Montgomery's bro ther who flew in heavier than ali planes, without engines, as earls as 1884
