SAVANNAH, Sept. 13.—A Georgia
man. with ambitious vision. in plan
ning an aeroplane trip acros* the At
lanta Ocean. The time for the ven
ture is not far distant, and the busy
hammering and filing that can t*
heard in the workshop near Savannah
tell* that every preparation Is being
made.
It is Oaptatn Matthew A. Batson,
a retired -army officer, who wilj make
this challenge to destiny He ha*
been working for years toward this
end, and has perfected a unique type
of flying machine that Is popularly
known as the U&tson hydro-aero
plane.
So certain are Captain Batson and
hi* friend* that the daring venture
will be successful that a concern has
t**en organized, known ft* the Bat-
Mon Aero Company, incorporated un-
dor the lavs* of New JefHey, with *
capital stock of $300,000, “to operate
between Savannah, Go., and Liver
pool England, a line of passengur-
carrying air craft." according to th*
words of the charter.
Captain Matson is president of the
company The line will not be es
tablished for little more than a year,
but there will be trial flights a-plenty
before that time, a* the plana state,
at Thunderbolt, Brickyard inland, on
the Wilmington River, where the
plant is located.
Models Fly Fsithfulty.
The first flight of the hydro-aero
plane wiM be made early. The mod
els of the machine have flown faith
fully. The entire machine is now as
sembled, the flying section haring
been fixed to the boat hull several
day* ago.
It 1* the Intention of Captain Bat
son to navigate the craft into the
Wilmington River, and to mnke the
first trial flight* in the direction of
Wilmington Island. The tests of the
airship will be visible from the f'n.si-
no. Thunderbolt, and it Is expected
that thousands of people will make
the trip to the resort to see the big

Plants for the construction of the

rangements made by the company
The completed machines, however
will not be offered for indiscriminAle
sale, but will be used for passengor
traffic under the auspices of the com
pany.
The Batson triple-motored aero
yacht, as the machine 1* technically
known, will carry about three tons
dead weight load. Instead of b^elng
comprised of a single plane or a pair,
the buoying area is distributed over a
large number of wings of moderate
size. Those are attached to the ma
chine chamber In a way so as to yield
to th‘* extra stresses caused when the
machine encounters the great “boui-
deTs” in the air. Just as the springs of
an automobile yield when a!n uneven
road is entered.
Single Pilot Governs.
The peculiar construction of the
wing is such that the air currents are
guided under the wings inwardly to
ward the body of the machine, where
they are banked under the base por
tion. tPbis bringing the greatest strew?
on the part w here the weight is car
ried Such is the arrangement that
the essential "angle of incidence’* of
all the wings can be governed by a
single pilot, even to such an extent
that should all the engines be stopped
the wings will be automatically set at
a safe gliding angle, the course of
tfhich is easily controlled.
Captain Batson takes the success
of his Invention as a matter of course.
"It is far more wonderful,” he said
"that men should literally take their
lives in their hands and go from Paris
to London through the air. over sea
and land In their unavoidably un
steady craft than that the Batson
aero yacht should, with so much great r
er carrying capacity and complete au
tomatic stability, be able to go longer
distances in perfect safety. A great
loss of Rfe appears to be inevitable
with aeroplane* of the dangerous and
unstable type now in general use. and
though the recent Titanic disaster
shows that it is impossible to foresee
every contingency, vet it is a safe and
comforting prediction that because
of its automatic stability no such ac
cidents as those which hitherto have
happened can possibly occur to a Bal
lon multiplane."

Government Asked to Send
Science Expert to Investigate
Flaming Uncanny Orb,
ASHEVILLE, Hept. 13.—Ghostly In
appearance, a strange light, seen al
most nightly, is gaining materially in
brilliancy and has so greatly excited
the people of Burke County, in the
mountains of Western North Caro
lina, that an official request has been
made at Washington for an investi
gation by an expert.
R. T. Claywell first saw the strange
light about a month ago when he and
a party of friends were spending the
night at Cold Water.
"There Is something uncanny about
that light. The folks up In that neigh
borhood can not fathom it, and we
want a Government scientist sent to
solve the mysteriops glow." said
Mr. Claywell.
Arose From Mountain.
"The night T first saw the strange
light I was out ir the ODen on Rat
tlesnake f£nnb. It was exactly 10:05
o'clock. 1 remember that well. What
first attracted our attention were two
hazy lights Across the valley on
Brown Mountain.
"We watched it with wonder and
awe. In a few minutes we saw a
brighter light appear at the foot of
Brown Mountain, where Upper Creek
cuts it at Joy. The light appeared to
be swinging, pendulum-like, and then
went upward a distance of about 200
feet.
"When it first appeared the light
seemed to be round and yellow. It
gained steadily In brightness, becom
ing red as it went upward When it
reached Its greatest height it appear
ed to be like a boil of fire.
Did Not Shed a Ray.
"But the strange thing about It was
that the freak of nature did not cast
off one ray of light. The space around
it was a* dark a* ever. All this add
ed to Its ghostly appearance.
"It was across the valley from us
at a distance of about twelve miles.
It had rained that day and there were
a few clouds, still hanging about.
When the strange light reached a
height of what seemed from our dis
tance to be about 1,200 feet it went
behind one of these clouds ,and we did
not see it any more that night.
"It was a strange experience and
many of those in our party came near
fainting.”

the Boosters’ Club, with a member
ship of public spirited citizens
throughout Southern California.
"This total prize of twenty-five
hundred dollars (2,500) will be di
vided as follows:
‘.'Five hundred dollars ($500) will
be paid for the best poem suitable for
musical setting and having a ringing

ers of the world will be invited to

Company Will Send Big Vessels
Through Canal Every 36 Hours,
It Is Announced.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—That the
American -Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany will send a steamship through
the Panama Canal every 36 hours
next year, and that Instead of sail
ing every five days they will send
their vessels out every three days,
was part of the program announced
here to-day by the company.
The statement was provoked bp-
cause an issued report stated that the
American-Hawaiian line was consid
erably “overbuilt.”
The statement of the company fol
lows:
"The fact of having excess tonnage
far ahead pf the opening of the canal
does npt disconcert us and the Amef-
ican-Hawallan line is proud of the
fact that their fleet with a capacity
of 270,000 tons will be ready in time.
When the canal voute is used we shall
maintain a schedule of one steamer
sailing from New York every three
days.
"It is true that we have chartered
the American and the California to
the American and Cuban Steamship
Company and we believe these steam
ships will make several trips to Bra
zil. These are the ships we con
structed when the company was feel
ing its way. and their arrival in the
South American ports will place on
view the American flag, the lack of
which in foreign waters has been
commented on many times."
