Denies of the Boeing Airplane Co, took ex- ception to numerous other state ments regarding the United Stater alr service, made by Woodboure in signed newspaper articles, HAVE RECEIVED ORDERS FOR 206 “It is true that the government has ordered 225 airplanes,” said Gott. “We received the contract for 200 of them—Thomas Morse M. B. 3 scout planes—and are building them in our shop here at the present me. But that there is anything wrong with the design of these planes absolutely is not true. “In his articles, Woodhouse has stated that these planes are slow, poorly equipped, and that the axle is @ constant menace in bomb-drop- ping operations, a» bombs are liable ‘to atrike the axle when released, “Now here are the facta. The av erage speed of a scout plane is 1560 to 140 miles per hour. One of these Thomas-Morse machines made 170 | miles an hour at the Pulitzer races! in New York last year. WocdJhouse says they are poorly equipped. The machines we are building for the government are equipped with every latest device for efficiency and safety. In fact, so many extras are specified that we call this type of ship the ‘Christmas tree.’ BOMB DANGER NOW PAST . “Now as to the bomb danger. It fs true that some years ago, when bombs were new, there may have been some danger in releasing them But the danger has been obviated We'll Say She Won Despite Herself MUNICH, Sept. 9—When Herr | Fritz Blumer of Hamburg wae ar rested here for a motor car swindle, an American woman and an English woman contested for the pleasure of bailing him out.

S. Planes” Being Constructed on Defective Plan long ago. In one type of plane what is called a split axle is used, doing away with the cross bar, In planes that retain the ordinary axle, bombs are bung clear back of the wings, eVen, #o that the only way in whieh a bomb could strike the axle when released would be to have the ship fying backwards.” Gott takes exception also to con- tract costa given by Woodhouse. The latter states that the total cost of the new planes ordered by the gov- ernment, including transportation and housing, will be $20,000,000, “We are building 200 of the 235 planes,” anid Gott, and our contract price is approximately a million and a half dollars. And you murt re- member that the housing mentioned by Woodhouse in already provided for, 1 do not see where the other $18,500,000 comes in. SAYS WOODHOUSE NOT WORKING FOR U. 5. “If Woodhouse, as president of the Aerial League of America, haa been ‘investigating’ airplane accidents in the army air service, it certainly is not at the request of the govern. ment. The air service ls capable of investigating Its own accidents, and outside assistance is never called. “While I have not the exact fig- ures, I know that the statement that 150 air service men, including sev. eral ranking officers, have been killed tn the last two years, is much |too high, Even at McCook field, Ohio, where all testing and experi- |menting is done, there were only | four men killed in the last two years. And this, remember, when there are, every day, 15 to 20 machines In the air being tested for new devices, ma chines that never have been flown before, and all that sort of thing. “The airplanes now undtr con- struction for the government are of the very latest improved type, and are the finest machines of their kind in the world.” Costa Rica Takes Coto Territory WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—Costa Rica has taken peaceful possession | of the Coto territory, which has been in dispute between that country and Panama, the state department was advised today by the American lega- tion in Costa Rica, Panama evacuated the @eputed territory on September 5, according to the state department advices, Snake in City Hall : Causes Excitement BANTIAGO, Chile.
