all my friends predicting that I would
kill myself.
While the invention is very simple
and adaptable to any fuselage of pres
ent types of airplanes, the plane I used
was an old Farman. As It had to be
destroyed in making the test there was
no Sense In having new plane. This
Farman was IA years old, and was of
the two-seater tourist type. I had
christened the plane Amour" as the
experiment had become so dear to my
heart.
As 1 was pushed across a field to the
edge of the cliff I felt an immense
thrill. At last in the presence of wit
nesseS I was about to prove to them
what 1 had known for years would be
a tremendous stride forward in avia-
ton. To date only the art of the pilot
has been applied to the problem of max
ing crippled and falling planes alight
safely, by suppressing the speed of the
plane and varying the medicines of the
wings to make the fall as light as pos
sible.
Encased In Double Steel.
To clarity what have done I may
steel plated box fitted about the pilot
seat. 1t Is about two feet wide and
six feet long, specially riveted and
equipped with shock absorbers. 1t has
q door worked by levers so that as the
machine is crashing a pull may close
this door, Theoretically sealing the pilot
as If in diving bell, with freedom from
danger of fire or explosions.
My invention may be compared in
principle to the type of elevator that
is hydraulically equipped so that its
fall is broken.
This illustration will show why felt
so safe as I was pushed over the pre-
cipice. Every one knows that in q fall
In a hydraulically operated elevator the
force of the shock is absorbed as the
elevator strikes the bottom of the shaft.
During my experiments to bring about
safety for passengers in a crashing
plane I learned, of course, that no
one knows with what force a crippled
plane strikes the earth. All we do
know is that falling body after a
certain distance reaches a uniform
speed and does not fall continuously
faster. My plane might therefore have
been falling 5000 feet instead of 500.
1t really makes no difference so far as
safety is concerned.
Rammed by Truck.
To see that my machine had suffi-
cient strength for the fall I had it
tested by ramming it with heavy truck
travelling at 8 kilometerS an hour. I
was in the plane when this was done,
and the impact had no impression on
the exterior Of my cage.
When I made my dive yesterday
really was in the position Of a passen-
ger on a steamship about to strike a
rock or another steamship. I knew
that if the outer shell of the hull was
damaged there was very good sec
ondary shell to take any other shock.
As soon as was showed of the cliff
I used the piston devised for that pur-
pose and closed the shell Theoretically.
so was entirely enc ased. And then I
waited. I knew that the worst that
could happen to me was broken leg.

FLOGGED FLORIDA CITIZENS
WHO REPORTED JIM CROW IN
RED CROSS FLOUR RELIEF
NAACP. Asks Governor Carlton To
Punish Mobbists

New York, Dec.-Governor Doyle
E. Carlton Of Florida has been asked
in a letter sent today by the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People to prosecute a group
Of mcbbists who, masquerading as
federal officers. brutally flogged col
ored citizens Of Clearwater. Fla, for
heading a Colored Welfare League
and reporting discrimination in the
distribution Of government flour by
the Red Cross.
"From the information that has
come to u.s." says the NAACP. letter.
"these two men, W. D. Williams and
M. Harvey were taken out and fog
ged on Nov. 4. 1882. Just four days
after thev he'd consulted with City
Manager H. S. Riddle and Mayor Fl.
Fl. Baskin regarding the Colored Wei
fare League of which Mr.. Williams
was an official. The purposes of the
Colored Welfare League were explain
ed to the two city officials and they
are said to have lauded its objective
Of improving the colored citizens Of
Clearwater and stimulating their in
terest in civic betterment."
Previous to the conference, COM
plant made to the NAACP. by Clear
water citizens had been forwarded to
the Red Cross in WASHINGTON. which
asked for a report from Florida.
Mr.. Williams, according to a report
sent the NAACP. from Tampa, was
So severely beaten with leather and
rubber hose that the blood streamed
down his back. Mr.. Harvey was
forced to leave his family and prop
erty in Clearwater. Mr.. Williams
was also kicked in the stomach and an
X-ray will determine the extent of
the injury he received.
A number of white people have eX-
pressed adherence for the brutal at
tack on the two colored men both Of
whom had a high standing in their
community.
In concluding its letter the NAACP
urges the Governor "as chief execu-
tive Of Florida cause an investiga-
ton to be made into the flogging of
these two men at Clearwater, to the
end that prosecution of the perpet-
rators may be launched and punish
ment assessed"

Lamont Rowland's ticket in the elect

For many years the lily whites of

Of occupants of the White House and

they had white leadership Of the
party in that section they could be-
come serious contenders against the
Democratic Party.
This contention was put to the test
on November s when the electoral and
congressional ticket Of the Howard
Redmond--Booze black and tan ticket
ran away with the lily white ticket
in the old State and forever set at
rest this spurious and race hating
crowd. It was extensively advertised
in the campaign that the Rowland

verdict at the polls was most decisive

vue and Kings County Hospitals on
the same basis as any other female
citizens?
z VIII you employ a colored grad
uate nurse, based on her competence,
in either Of these hospitals"
In pressing these questions, the
NAACP. states that it is informed
that at the present time the answer
70 both OF the questions asked is in
the negative. So far as we know,
yours is the only Department of the
New York City Administration in
which Negroes are ~jim-crowed. We
reiterate our request that an un-

cation be made Of the status Of the
eolored nurses in New York City

nations whcih do exist and which
may be easily ase~ertained be prompt

who select employees. He said the
board has no record Of the race or re
ligion of the employees SO that he
did not know whether there were any
