SHOWS AEROPLANE AS FACTOR IN WAl ELY FLIES BIPLANE FROM DECIi OF CRUISER. NaTal Expert Declares That Flight i Proof of Utility of Air Craft In War. Fort Monroe, Va., Nov. 14.-Aeria' navigation proved today that It is E factor which must be dealt with ir the naval tactics of the world's future if the successful flights made by Eu gene B. Ely in a Curtiss biplane fron the deck of the crusier Birminghan can be taken as a criterion. Fron Uampton Roads, the scene 45 year. ago of another epoch-making experi ment in the history of naval warfar( -when an ironclad proved its superior ity over the former type of flghting -vessel, the aviator today flew acros: the lower end of Chesapeake bay landing on the opposite side from thi, fort. - In weather conditions unfavorabli for flying, the daring birdman shortll after 3 o'clock this afternoon glide from the platform erected on tb4 -front of the big black crusier, swoope( <down like an immense bird of pre 1atil he touched the water, then rosi rapidly into the misty air of the lowe: bay and was off in the direction of ti road Atlantic. lost on Horizon. -Five minutes after having taken hii sudden farewell of the Birminghan he was a lost speck on the easteri horizon and had landed safely on Wil loughby Spit. The impect with whic :e big machnie struck the water afte -its 37-foot drop from the front of th< cruiser caused one of the propellei blades to be jagged as though a coarsf -saw had gone along its edge and , -sm01 piece was split from the blade -But not for an instant was the speed -f the aeroplane lessened and it darte( away with express-train rapidity o] its victorious flight. Dares the Weather. Intermittent rain throughout thi day, small hail showers, and continu. es fog, almost compelled the aviatoi -to postpone his flight. But he wal 4etermined to prove, as he said aftei -the flight, that he could accomplis] -mpre than had been expected of him *Furthermore, he did not wait foi the Birmingham to get into motioI 'which would have added to his *mo 'mentum and have been a great helj to him, but, seizing an opportune mo ment between showers, 'he was off be fore those who were on the ship wit] him and on the other vessels station ed at various points nearby to follov -and assist him .in case of need were -a.ware that he wa-s ready for his won derful flight, the first of its kind thl 'world has ever seen. Can Soar From Ship. ~Ely proved today that it is possibli -ofly safely from a ship, and afte' 'having done this, asserted 'with em pshasis that it would be an easy mat ter for an aeroplane to alight on vessIel either while the latter was 'moving or stationary. Naval expert! ," who witnessed the flight expresse( their belief that the navies of the -world in the future must take thi aeroplane into consideration wher 'mapping out plans of action. Capt. Washington I. Chambers, wh< -has been detailed by the navy depart ment as chairman of a board foi -aeronautical Investigation, declares -that the flight was more than he ha( anticipated and he is confident thai the time is near wheni all scout cruis --ers will be equipped with a numbe1 of aeroplanes. They will not be foi -battleship use he explained, but fo: -scout duty in connection with thi "work of the scout cruisers of the nayv Would be Easy. "When Mr. Ely flew with such eas; 'from a standing ship," he said, "I -showed beyond doubt that his tasi 'would have been much simpler if the 'Birmingham had been moving." Starting out from the Norfolk nav: yard at 11.30 this morning on thi - Birmirrghaml, closely followed by the two torpedo boat destroyers Roe anm T 'erry and by the torpedo boats Baile: anud Stringham,l it was fully four hour: hter before Mr. Ely's machine wa: -working to his full satisfaction. The machine which he flew was thl one which Glenn Curtiss sailed dowi 11hrough the air channels of the Hud son river valley from Albany to Nei~ ~Tork. It had seen two previous cross 'water flights, one over lake Erie fron i3uclid beach to Cedar Point a.nd back 10 miles; the other by Mr. Curtis! 'imself over the Atlantic ocean of Atlantic City 'when be covered a dis 'bsnce of 50 miles. The distance 'which Mr. Ely fiev today w'as nearly five miles. The Bir ningham was lying in the roads onl: a quarter of a mile from the Hote 0hamberlainl. It was 3.10 whe'n he took to th< ' ir- five mninvts later be 'was saft conquered his fears long enough to remain over it in fog and accomplish his purpose. When he struck the water on div-1 ing off the Birmingham, salt water dashed into his face and goggles, So that for several minutes he could not see in which direction he was going. He had planned to take a somewhat different course from that which he actually followed and land a little further to the north. The greatest height he attained was estimated at about 500 feet. Due to Miscalculation. His striking the water, he said af terward, was due to a slight miscal culation. He had planned before he left the incline on the Birmingham to drop near the water so as to get the momentum which he wanted to carry him upwards; but he overreached the mark slightly. Mr. Ely went back to Norfolk im mediately after the flight, and, if ; weather conditions tomorrow are fa vorable, will attempt a flight over the city. The following day he is away to show his prowess of the air in a flight he will give at Raleigh. WILL NOT CHANGE CHARLESTON YARD r Navy to Keep It as Torpedo Station. Department to Save $300,000 of Expenditures. Washington, Nov. 14.-Secretary Meyer, who has just returned to Washington from an extensive trip of inspection of the navy yards and stations, managed to make his trip highly profitadble by cutting off $300, 000 of naval expenditures in these yards. The secretary is preparing his recommendations to congress regard ing the discon+inuance of some of the navy yards and substantial improve ment of the others. It is probable that the Charleston yard will continue to be merely a tor pedo station as experts have esti mated it would cost not less than $2, 000,000 to open up a channel by which modern heavy draught battleships could reach the yard from the sea I while the appropriation of many thou sands of dollars annually would be required to remove the silt which finds its way into the channel. The yard of Portsmouth, N. H., has a splendid dry dock capable of tak ing in the largest battleships, and therefore it is not apt to be closed. For the same reason the Boston yard with its two docks will certainly be maintained in full operation. There may be considerable curtailment of ,the activity at some of the other At lantic gulf docks. STRONG MAN DROPS DEAD. Former World's Amateur Champion Dies of Heart Failure.
