FLYING ROBOT is
SUCCESSFUL IN TEST
Mechanical Pilot Guides
Plane in Flight.

Washington.-Per of "me-
chanieal pilot" which automatically
guides an airplane fol long distances
without the aid of human hands was
announced by the War department..
With this device, designed for long
distance flights, the human pilot takes
the plane off the ground, then turns
1t over to the automatic robot until
the time comes for landing the ma
chine.
According to War department off
cials, who characterized the new de.
vice as lone of the outstanding
achievements in aviation since the
close of the World war" the mechan-
teal pilot will hold the plane straight
and level, regardless OF fog, rain and
darkness. 1t was explained, however,
that the purpose of the automatic
pilot in its present stage of develop
ment Is just to control an airplane
in straight and level flight.
Relief for Pilots.
1.-THE automatic pilo, gives promise
of being most useful instrument in
the handling of large airplanes, reliev'
ing the pilots of much of the strain of
the straight and level flying and CIV
ing him more time to devote to navi-
cation, watching out for other planes
and noting the action of his nstru-
ments," the War department an.
nounced.
"Perhaps the new pilot will find its
greatest service in flying an airplane
through regions of poor visibility
through dark nights or foggy areas
where the experienced pilot is ioath
to rely upon his personal feelings. In
military aeronautics. the automatic
pilot would be of considerable nd
vantage for use in long range bomb
ing expeditions. 1t is quite possible
many of the army's large ships will
be equipped with this device in the
near future"
Robot Makes Good.
Washington had its first view of the
robot when a tr-mOtGred army trans
port plane flew into Boiling field from
Dayton, Ohio. From the time the
plane left Wright field until 1t ar
rived over Leesburg, Va, few miles
out of the capital, no human hands
touched the control of the big ship.
which was held on It's course and al
the proper altitude by the robot. AT
Leesburg, the electrical current for
the mechanism failed when a wind
driven generator automatic control
snapped. Maj A. II. Gilkers0n, chief
of the equipment branch at Wright
field. then took over the controls and
pioted it TO safe landing in Wash
ington.
The Sperry company has been work
ing on the new automatic device for
IS years In 1912 the first model,
known at that time as the Sperry
gyroscopic stablizer, was installed in
Curtiss flying boat and flown by
Lawrence Sperry The new model is
said t. weigh but 80 pounds.
Its operation actuates the three
major controls of an airplane, namely,
the rudder for direction, the elevator
for upward ind downward movement,
and the aileron or maintaining lateral
balance excepting the airplane on an
even keel). One vertically mounted
gyroscope and one horizontally mount
ed gyroscope, the arnlatures OF which
are electrically driven at $4,000 revo-
lutions per minute, are used.

FIv Blind in Barrel

In a Paris flying school students re-

chine is switched and lurched around,
the student is expected to correct the
motion. The plan is part of the
method of teaching blind flying by
making the future pilot depend entire

RACKETEER is
KIDNAPPED AND
SHOT BY FOES
Forced Into Car at Busy
Brooklyn Corner While
Talking to Girl.

En- Jnitfd Press
NEW YORK, April 6.-Abraham
Mastabb, chatting with a girl on a
busy Brooklyn corner. looked around
with surprise Friday night when
two men pushed pistols into his side.
ABE" one of them said pleasant
ly. I'VE are going to take you for
a ride"
The girl screamed. Scores Of pc
deStrians turned just in time to see
the two men forcing Mastabb into
an automobile.
An hour later Joseph Mehlman,
a taxicab driver, waS cruising
through Crescent street when he
heard groans. There bleeding in
the gutter was Mastabb with two
bullets in his abdomen and a shat
tered elbow.
Across the street two men in a
sedan we're watching Mastabb,
chuckling at his attempts to pull
himself to his feet.
AS Mehlman leaned over to help
Mastabb, one of the men in the
sedan said:
Beat it, or you'll get the same
dose"
Then another voice said:
ooh, give him the works, anyway
Mehlman leaped behind a parked
automobile just as two shots from
the sedan crashed into the curb
near Mastabb's head. The sedan
disappeared around a corner.
At Kings county hospital it was
said that Mastabb was in a critical
condition.
Who shot you?" asked Detective
Miller.
Some guys jealous Of my racket"
Mastabb said and lost consciousness.
Police said that Mastabb was we'll
known as a racketeer and expressed
the opinion that he was taken for
the ride because he had committed
the objectionable sin of Quitting
into somebody's territory"

MYSTERY INVOLVES
HAPSBURG HOUSE.
Note Found in Missing Mans
Room Mentions "CroWn
Ancestors" and Bombs.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, September ia mysterious
affair, said to involve prince of the
house of Hapsburg, IS occupying the at
tention of the Berlin and Munich po-
lice because of its possible connection
with recent bomb outrages in Germany.
At Koenigsee in the Bavarian Alps a
40-year-old stranger disappeared after
hiring boat for row on the lake.
The boat later was found containing a
hat, a cane and a card on which was
written 100 marks reward to the
finder"
The police searched the room oc-
cupied by the stranger at a local hotel,
finding an oyercoat and letter in
which the writer, without disclosing his
identity, stated that unknowingly he
had financed group of bomb-throwers.
The letter added that the writer pre-
ferred death to dshonor and requested
that his body, if found, should not be
placed in his family vault because his
crowned ancestors would turn in
their graves if thsy were lying next to
one who was a Socialist, If not Com
munist, in his views.
The letter requested that the writer
be buried on the shores of his beloved
Koenigsee, with an inscription on his
tombstone similar to that of Napoleon,
''who was friendly to my ancertors."
The police maintain the utmost
secrecy about the case. especially as to
the possible identity of the stranger.
One rumor says that he was a prince
of the Hapsburg line, though others say
the affair Is only hoax or the act of
an insane person.
