WIGHT REITERATES TELLS HOW 0T SUN WALCOT CHARGES Intimates Smithsonian Sec- retary Was Tool of Curtiss By the Associated Presf DAYTON. Ohio, Ma A third chapter in the controversy which has arisen between Orville Wright, air- plane inventor, and Dr. Charles D. Walcoti, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, over the former's asser- tion that officials there has misused relics intrusted to their keeping, was written tonight. Wright made public a statement detailing previous charges. Several days ago I was asked by a New York newspaper whether the rumor was true that our first air- plane of 1903 was about to go to a museum in England. “I stated gt the time that I was his | sending the machine to Science Mu- um at_South Kensington, London, {because I did not dare to intrust it to the only suitable national museum in America, in view of the fact that that institution had allowed the his- toric relics of the Langley machine of 1903 to go out of the institution into the hands of private parties to be mut: private purpose: that much of the machine now hang- ing in the institution is of new ma terial, and some of it of different con- struction from the original, and that ard attached to the machine is | not true to the original machine nor | of the r ored one. “Dr. Walcott has made a reply to my statement which does not clearly deny any of my assertions. In order to give the public a clear understand- | ing of the issue, I will make the fol- lowling positive statements: Could Fly Kitchen Table. “On the 13th of January, 1914, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the second district handed down a | decision in which it was held that the machines being built- by the Curtiss company were infringements of the Wright patent and that the patentees fairly be considered pioneers in practical art of flying with heavier-than-air machines and that the claims_should have a liberal in- terpretation. The Curtiss comuany was enjoined from bullding aeroplanes such as they had been building. The company then modified its machine and then in anticipation of another suit on claims of the patent not in- volved in the first, began prepara- tions for a new defense. Now began an active campaign to establish some one else as the ploneer. Langley was chosen. “ On January 26, 1914, less than two weeks after the decision of the Court of Appeals, it was reported in the press that Lincoln Beachy, a stockholder of the Curtiss Company, asked Dr. Walcott'’s permission to try to « MAKES ITES 00 Scientist Describes Radical Theory at Weather Ex-"~ perts’ Session. The hotter the sun gets the colder it is in Washington—a great many other factors being equal. This was explained to the American Soclety of Meteorologists, in session here yesterday, by H. H. Clayton, formerly forecaster for the govern ment of Argentina, in his presenta- tion for the first time of the most revolutionary theories which have en tered the science of meteorology since the present methods of weather fore. casting began. Mr. Clayton, who is now associated with Dr. C. J. Abbot, assistant secre- tary of the Smithsonian in working out a practical method of forecasting from variation in solar radiation, is making a long serles of predictions for the East and North east from a laboratory at Chatham, Mass. Causes Pressure Centers. The theory, which still is in th formative stage, holds that high and low pressure areas in the atmosphere, which result in weather changes, are the result of solar radiation varlations which can be measured with but a slight degree of error. A constant is taken as the mean amount the heat of the sun, radiated 92,000,000 miles through empty space, would heat a cublc centimeter of blackened water placed just above the blanket of at mosphere that covers the earth. I has been found that this will vary from day to day.

By the Associated Press DENVER, Colo., May 2.—In vetoing certain items in the State's biennial appropriation bill yesterda: Gov. Clarence J. Morley eliminated a pro- vision making $6,000 available to pay for a stalned-glass window bearing the likeness of the late Senator Samuel D. Nicholson of Colorado, it was learned today. The window has been installed in the State Senate chamber but has not been paid for. Explaining his veto, Gov. Morley declared that the State board of capi- tol managers should have paid for the window out of the 1922-24 appropria- tion, and that such an item is not in line with his policy of economy. Gov. Morley is a Republican, as was the late Senator. ‘450 Students Will Tour World On Ship Fitted Out as College By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. An intensive anti-aircraft program, designed within five months to lead to great] increased efficiency of fire against enemy air invaders, has been ordered for six regiments of Army Coast Artillery troops. One of the regiments will fire an average of 2,000 shots each month for the five-month period, and the five other organizations have been allowed 800 rounds of ammunition each month for use in the tests The program already is effective, and drills and preliminary prepara- tions required of the six regiments for training reasons are beginning. By the end of the month the fire tests themselves will be started, and they will be continued until October 1, when carefully tabulated results will be made the basis of an official study by military experts here. Air vs. Ground Forces. From the conclusions reached the controversy between air and ground forces as to which possesses superior offensive power will be reassessed. In order to make the tests com- plete, both from a personnel and ord- nance standpoint, instructions have been sent the six selected regiments to equip themselves with guns, am- munition and men to meet all Te- quirements. The 62d Regiment at Fort Totten, | N. Y. already has been recruited to full peace-time strength, both as re- gards officers and men. It will be moved to Fort Tilden, Long Island, for the fire experiments and will take a major place in the test program. Two thousand rounds of ammunition each month have been allowed the guns of that regiment. The allowance of 800 shells per month to the 60th Regiment, in the Philippines, the 61st at Fort Mon- roe, Va., the 63d at San Franclsco, the 64th in Honolulu and the 65th In Panama {s the normal issue .of am- munition for Coast Artillery regi- ments in peace-time maneuvers.

May 2.—| Political leaders who have been in| consultation with President-elect von | Hindenburg the past few days believe that he is determined to reconcile the | German Catholic electorate to the out- come of the election, and that he will single out Dr. Marx of the People’s Bloc for some prominent appointment or political honor, in an attempt to assuage the feelings of resentment provoked through the injection of heated religious bias into the recent campaign. This procedure would not only be in keeping with the field marshal's desire for complete national unity, but would also insure continuance of neu- trality which the Center party has been according the Luther govern- ment, thus removing from the post- election situation anything likely to engender a parliamentary crisis. Potentates Are Cautioned. Von Hindenburg is said to have quietly apprised a score or more Ger- man princes and lesser potentates that he would be greatly obliged if they would spare him displays of ardent | importunities and other affectionate demonstrations regarding his election. | He has reassured them of his devoted and respectful remembrance, but be- lieved that their adulations in the present situation-were bound to bes come a personal annoyance and an official embarrassment. A monster torchlight procession is planned by this city for Thursday night as a farewell celebration in honor of Von Hindenburg. The general expects to arrive in Berlin a day before his inauguration on May 12. Meanwhile his unpretentious villa in a usually quiet residential sectiomn of Hanovér has become the temporary political center of the Reich.
