VETERAN GUARDSMAN IS BACK ON THE JOB Hanson Green Returns to Place After Short Vacation at Mary land Home. Henson Green, the veteran who mounts guard at the southern door of tho Treasury on Fifteenth street, will be back on the Job tomorrow after leave' spent In hia old home In Fred erick, Md. Mr. Green la one of the several Treasury guards who about three and one-halt years ago challenged Secretary ot the Treasury Mac Veagh and other high officials when they sought to enter by this southern postern of the Treasury. "It la our duty," said Benjamin Mc Alwee, another veteran now In Mr. Oreen'a place. "Tho rules require us to hold up all men entering at this door after 9 a. m. whom wo do not know persqnolly. The 1,000 Treasury clerks who come to the building are not allowed to enter by this door after that hour, but muut punch a time clock somewhere else. Mr. Green la a veteran who fought for his country against more than ordi nary discouragement. His father and two brothers enlisted under Lee, but Mi. Green was for Abraham Lincoln, tlfe Union and the Stars and Stripes, and loial he remained, although it meant bitter family troublo at the time. Army Hopes for Repeal Of "Back to Line" Order The War Department la manifesting much Interest In the reported Intention of Congress to repeal or modify before December IS the order that officers ab sent four years out of six from their command must return. Nevertheless, preparations are being made to obey the existing law to the letter, orders being Issued to fort J -seven captains of Infantry to proceed to their commands today, all of them to report to the several-posts not later than December 10. Will the flying machine, designed and built by Dr. S. P. Langley, and which has not as yet made1 a successful flight, be removed from Its quarters In the Smlthsonlun Institute and given an other trial to nacertaln Whether the claims of the Inventor that It will re main In the air for several hours and fly at a high rate of sped are correct? This I the question of Interest among aviators and those Interested In avia tion throughout the city today. For the past several days there has been a persistent rumor to the effect that an effort was being made to secure permission td test this machine. Ac cording to the tumor the machine, which Is almost Intact, Is to be thor oughly repaired and fitted tilth new wings, which are the only parts that hnvo been destroyed. It was also said that the machine would be fitted with a Berliner gyioscopo motor. When Emll Berliner was Interviewed by a Times reported ho refused to say anything rclalivo to the rumor, claim ing that he did nrt think it would be right for him to give away nnythlnc he might have learned which would be of a confidential nature He admitted, however, that ha had been approached by a scientist In Washington, who Is Interested In aviation, regarding the cost of his motor and tho approximate time It would take him to deliver n motor should he be called upon. Ho declined to divulge the name of the scientist or the purpose for which the motor was desired. A. P. ahm, secretary of tho Aero Clug of Wushlngton, said toduy that, while he had not heard an thing ahout the movement, he understood that Charles M. Manly, located In the White hall building, New York city, who wu fhlnf nnirlniiAi. fn T")t l.nitfrt... und who dcslKned the engines with which' the machine la at present equipped, i had said recently that he had been approached by several Individuals whoi offered to supply the funds necessary to mnko another trial with the ma chine In order to vindicate .the name of Dr. Uingley. Whether the machine would be tested with Its own enslnca or with a giro scope motor he wan unable to aay, but thought that If u test should be made the engines with which It una originally equipped would He iisea. , If tho tumor la correct an dthe ma-1 enme to ue removed rrom ita quartern, the fact la ot known nt the Smithsonian Institute. II. W. Dorscy. who la In chargo of the machine, sjid lie thought It waa merely a rumor. He also said that It would requite considerable work to reassemble tho machine. Mr. Dorsey said that should a teat be attempted It would undoubtedly be mode with the engines designed by Mr. Manly. The Langley machine Is a double tandem monoplane, and has not aa yet made n successful lllght, although two trials have been made. In both In stances' the wings caught on the guy posts In the launching, and, before the macnlne could be repaired and tried for the thin) time, the $0,000 appropriated by the Smithsonian Institute had been exhausted, and the machine, was stored away as a relic. However, the model, of the machine made a successful flight While no accurate Information can be .secured aa to whether a teat will actually be made of the machine. It Is said, on what Is considered good author ity th.it this Is u fact. Aviators and thou Interested In aviation are watch ing with Interest the future develnpe ment of the rumor, as It la known that tranv people are Interested In giving the machine a further test and aro ready to provide the funds should the Government give permission for the test to be mane.
