14 THE "AMES AERO CYCLE" Invention of Massachusetts Con gressman Tested at Annapolis. CURVED BASEBALL THEORY Novel Airship Said to Have Tugged at Its Leash on Torpedo Boat Bagley. Annaplls. July 22.— Tests of the "Ames aero cycle," as the airship invented by Con gressman Butler Ames, of Massachusetts, will probably be called, began at the -Naval Academy to-day. Before a naval board the ■workings of the machine were demon strated by its inventor. It i? not the intention to put the machine to actual flight during the tests, but it will be thoroughly tried out with regard to the horsepower required to lift it and the size of the propeller blade necessary to drive, it. The indications axe that the tests will be made in secret. Mr- Ames's invention is an entirely new thin~ in aerial navigation, both in appear ance and theory aC propulsion. Two large spool-like disks suspended on either side of a power platform revolve with a motion that, is forward and upward, while the for ward drive is obtained by ■ regular aerial propeller in the rear. In staling his theory of flying to-day Mr. Ames described it a* similar to an "up shoot" pitched baseball, the revolution of the spools betes similar to the twist given by the pitcher's fingers, while the propeller takes the place of the throw of the pitch er's arm. The testing •! this theory is to be done while the airship remains tied to the epe- ; cially constructed platform aboard the tor pedo boat fT>tVir. the retaining ropes being loosened only enough to ascertain the lift ing power. The aero cycle was brought here from Washington on the Barley, and it is said acted encouragingly during informal trials on the trip- The canvas cylinders, which are the main features of the machine, were revolved by a motor for which the rent was supplied from the Bagley's dynamo. It is claimed that the machine readily lifted itself, the motor and several hundred pounds of metal and tugged at the ropes which held it to the platform Attached to the cylinders, which a*-" of cnnva«. about eight feet in diameter and sixteen long, are short plants of the same material Bed M tangents at small angles tc the surface of The cylinder?. The cylin ders are revolved In the direction of the angle, instead of the open portion, as might he thought, and it Is claimed that great lifting power Is directed. • ■ ry of the insrtihir is baaed upon pr caßj ■■■*■■"■■■■ laws off phyatCß The tf;< wiii hf- ■ oodncted to indicate the lift - _ no. ■ ader ha amn driving power.

THE NEW CTV\RPER FRANCONIA, WHICH WIT,L BE LAUNCHED TO-DAY AT AVALLREND ON-TYNE. CORONERS ON ANXIOUS SEAT Court of Special Sessions May Appropriate Their Quarters. The four coroners of the Borough of Manhattan are passing sleepless nights at present, for they do not know just where they are going to land when they wake up even' morning and go to bed at night. ! The reason is this: A report has been go ing about for the last three or four days i that the present home of the coroners, j which is in the basement of the Criminal Courts Building, is to be appropriated by the Court of Special Sessions. Coroner Fein berg:, president of the Board of Coroners, said yesterday that he had been negotiating with the owners of a build i ing at No. 114 West 73d street for the lease of a suite of rooms as an office. He said he was not certain whether the ob 1 jectionable class of people that would be brought dally into the neighborhood would not prove a strong objection on the part of the owners and residents in the neigh borhood of the 72d street building. ! DENIES MRS. KiNSEY'S PLEA Charges on Which She Asked Separation Not Upheld. Supreme Court Justice Mills, in White Plains, yesterday denied the application for separation brought by Mrs. Alice Kin sey. of White Plains, against her husband. William B. Kinsey. a linen merchant of No. 240 Fifth avenua. New York. Mrs. Kinsey, who is his second wife, alleged cruel and inhuman treatment, and set forth that because of his treatment of her she was compelled to leave him and re turn to the home of her mother. Kinsey, who is one of the wealthiest residents of Bronxvllle. entered a general denial of his wife's charges. In this he was corroborated by his daughter Gladys, I fifteen years old. Mrs. Kinsey before her marriage was Miss Alice Thurlow. She was a singer, and it was while she was singing in the Bronxville church that she first met Kin =ey. They met. it was a case of love at first sight, and they were married in Janu ary. 1509. Justice Mills finds there was no case established against Kinsey. the charge of cruel and inhuman treatment not being sustained. The justice says th* wife's story lacked corroboratlon, while the de | nial of the defendant was materially aided by the testimony of his daughter Gladys, who said there was no truth in the story told by her stepmother. Continuing. Justice Mills said: "Mere Incompatibility of temperament, capricious or arbitrary conduct, and certainly not mere differences of views as to domestic economies for the conduct of daily life, or in respect to attendance upon places of amusement, do not constitute ground for separation."

Bonne Tears ago the missing link was re rvorteci to be dodging about piers in Booth Brooklyn, and a .<=mall reward waa offered for it by an animal dealer named Breker. That wa,« long ago. when the animal shows of Coney Island were worth run ning. The story of the missing link was •.. forgotten until yesterday, when the Austrian steamship Atlanta docked, and at nncc the services of the lost link were much in demand. The captain of the Ailanta. the steam ship agents and an animal trainer named Schmitz were all willing to give the link ■5< cents and a bag of peanuts if he would climb the foremast and pour words of com fort into the ears of a female chimpanzee who was doing light housekeeping on the croßßtreea. •Mrs. Jim Tan Zee." as the ho'sun called her. was one of some tw-> hundred ordinary monkeys that were brought here from Trie>te. where <Uey had been left by a German steamship from India.

The bosun blames the comic newspa pers for the trouble. He said there had : too many pictures published in them elevating the monkey to the level of a human being. A series of pictures of a female monkey in evening dress going up to her flat in an elevator was found near the cage of Mrs. Jim Tan Zee, and this tMe bosun believes caused her to seek higher lodgings.

SATURDAY JfetJ-fjlJffc. 3ft?ttitßt& *** 23> 101 °' TO LAUNCH NEW CUNARDER Franconia Takes the Water To day at Wallsend-on-Tyne. According to advices received yesterday from Iviverpoo! by the Cunard Line, the company's twin-screw steamship FVan conia will be launched to-day at Wallsend on-Tyno, from the shipyards of Swan. Hunter. Wigham. Richardson & Co., Lim ited, the builders of the Mauretania. The Franconia will not be as big as the Maure tania nor as fast, but nevertheless she will be a liner of 18,900 tons, with a length of 625 feet and a beam of "2 feet, capable of maintaining a speed of 13 or 20 knots. She was not designed for great speed, such as is maintained by the Mauretania and the Lusitania. with their four screws and turbine engines, the greatest coal con sumers on the Atlantic. She will have twin screws and quadruple reciprocating engines, which are economical and capable of giv ing good speed. This port will see little, of the Franconia after she comes here on her maiden passage from Liverpool in March, 1911, as ehe wili go immediately into the Boston and Mediterranean service. The Franconia will have large state rooms ajid an abundance of deck room and all the conveniences necessary for the Mediterranean trade. She will hay» two funnels, like the Carmania and the Caronia, the new vessels that preceded the Maure tania and the Lusitania. but she will be lighter by about two thousand tons. Plans have been made' for another ship of the Franconia type, which will be launched next year. BUREAU WANTS AN INQUIRY Would Determine Valne of Ser vice of Health Inspectors. The statement of Dr. Walter Bensel, sanitary superintendent of the Board of Health, that the Bureau of Municipal Re search was not composed of men compe tent to criticise the work of the Health De partment in its effort? to keep down the infant mortality rate, brought forth a re ply from the Bureau of Municipal Re search yesterday afternoon. As originally charged in a statement made tho dny before by the bureau, the system now In use by the Board of Health of part time service of physicians and nurses was said to he responsible for the continuance of a high infant mortality rate. According to the statement of the bureau, of 30.42 a rases marked last summer to be kept under observation, only 2Tt.574 revisits were made In Dr. Bensel's reply he says that medi cal inspectors are paid $3 50 a day, and that they average from five to six hours a day in the department service, and when not thus employed, if they see fit, can at tend to their private practice. Continuing, Dr. Bensel says: "I do not agree with the genT'esp.en of the Bureau of Municipal Research that we would eret better results from men who de voted all of their t : me to us. That would mean that we would get a class of physi cians who were willing, for the small wages the city would pay. to give up all cha^^es of advancement in their profession. Under present conditions this work is really a labor of love, of sacrifice." The bureau recommends an investigation to determine whether health protection re quires that the present system of part time service should be changed. "Laymen can understand." saya the state ment issued yesterday, "that a person giv inc his entire time and concentrated thought to saving babies' lives can accom plish more than a person giving divided time and thought."

OLD LINES LIKELY TO GO I Strong Opposition to Assembly man" s Desire to Succeed J. Van Vechten Olcott. It is practically certain that there «"1 *• a prlmarv fl*ht against Assemblyman ! William M. Bennett, Republican leader of the 15th Assembly District, unless he is persuaded to give up his announced inten tion of fighting for the Congress nomina tion to succeed Representative J. van Vechten Olcott. who represents the MB Congress District. . John H. Taylor, who Is deputy leader under Mr. Bennett, is the man who naa been selected by the opposition to maK* the fight. He is a lawyer, at No. W Broad way, "and in the absence of the Assembly man has held his proxy for a seat in tn* Republican Executive Committee. Should Mr. Taylor head a primary fight It will stir up all the old factional feeling in the district, which caused so much trou ble there for six or seven y<*ars. Men who have stood loyally hy Mr. Bennett are blaming him for causing such a fight and are doing their best to induce him to give up his aspirations to go to Congress. So far Mr. Bennett has not weakened tn his determination to seek the nomination. He holds that Congressman Olcott is tied up to the reactionary wing of the House and that the people de.nand a progressive Representative. The 15th Congress District includes the whole of the loth Assembly District and parts of the 11th. 13th. 17th, 77th and 29th. The delegates from the 15th Assembly Dis trict will not. quite make a majority, but in all probability the man who controls that delegation will get the .lomination. "Unless we make a fight against Ben nett's leadership and put up an entirely independent primary ticket," said one of the men who did' not favor the Assembly man's plans, "ho will name hi? own dele gates to the Congress convention, and it will be one of the directest cases of direct nomination that you e-"er saw. We hope that the Assemblyman will realize that this is not. a good year to stir up trouble in the ranks, and will not decide to run against Congressman Olcott." For some time a primary fight in the 15th Assembly District was an annual occur rence. Sometimes there was a triangular contest, as in 1906. when ex-Congressman Douglas headed one faction and the old followers of Lemuel E Quigg put up an other candidate in an effort to get th© leadership away from Harry W. Mack. The Douglas candidate was withdrawn and Mr. Mack won. Last year he announced that in the in terest of harmony he would retire in fa vor of Assemblyman Bennett, and th© lat ter was elected leader at the primaries without opposition. Both Mr. Bennett and John H. Taylor, who may run against him this year, were with Mr. Mack in the old line-up. It Is thought, however, that in any fight over the Congress nomination the old lines will be dissolved and the Repub licans of the district will form in an en tirely different way. n.e result of such a contest would be most uncertain.
