HE IS READY TO FLY
oRVILLE WRIGHT MAY MAKE AN
ASCENSION AT FORT MYER
AT ANY TIME.
DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE
The Aeroplane at Fort Myer Differs
Only Slightly From the One
In France-A Trial
Wednesday.

Washington, Aug. 31.--Within a few
days Orville w. Wright of Dayton, O.,
will make his first fight In the aero
plane which he and his brother, VIII
bur, have built for the United States
government. The machine is ready to
fly, but Mr. Wright wishes to perfect
several minor details before going
into the air.
The aeroplane at Fort Myer differs
from the one being used by Wilbur
Wright in France, only In that 1t will
carry two men instead Of one. The
body of the mechanical bird consists
Of two planes, one six feet above the
other, measuring 40 feet from tip to
tip, having a depth Of Ave feet. These
planes rest on two runners which are
six feet apart.
The seat for the operators is placed
In the center Of the lower plane
where the motor is also situated. The
latter is the product of the Wright
brothers and is a four-cylinder, 30
horse power gasoline engine. The
gasoline is pumped directly into the
cylinders, there being no carburret-
ters. It is water-cooled, the water
passing through a radiator which In
turn is cooled by the air passing
through 1t, while the machine Is In
flight ......
The ends OF two planes are flexible
for the space of about IL feet. BY
means Of lever the tips can be
turned in a curve resembling a hello
cold. Each wing moves in the oppo-
site direction to the one on the oppo-
site side Of the machine, on the prin-
chile as the eagle scars. Another
level controls the twin rudders which
are supported by a brace at a dis
lance of ten feet from the rear OF the
planes. BY working the two levers to-
rether the equilibrium Of the ma
chine, while making curves, is main
tanned.
Ten feet in front Of the operators
seat two planes resembling box
kite, about six feet wide, are used
for controlling the ascent and descent
OF the aeroplane. The aerial hyeT
alights on the two runners or skids
and is started on a monorail.
Two propellers are used to rush
the aeropIane through the air. They
are about nine feet in diameter and
reyolve in opposite directions. Mr..
Wright has several different types Of
propeIlers which be will try out In the
preliminary fights at Fort Myer. The
first flight will probably take place
Wednesday.

action. I earnestly believe that he acted
in the interest of the people Of the

! After argument by James M. Trimble
for the release of Frank M. Weller,
who has been in the county Jail for
about tea days for failing to file a
schedule of his creditors in the Court
of Common Pleas, Judge Davis decided
that the man should be released.
Ever since Weller has been in the
jail his business has gone to the Dogs
at 219 Bank street, where 'Tassels,"
his fox terrier, is the company" OF
Frank M. Weller & Co., agents for the
International Finance and Incorpora-
ton Company, of New York.
In order to prevent Weller himself
from going to the "demnition bow
vows" Mr.. Trimble argued that the
Court Of Common Pleas which sent him
away, had no Jurisdiction or authority
under the insolvent debtor act to make
the order of commitment.
Harold Miller argued on behalf Of
Isaac Berger, who had Weller arrested
last May for alleged fraud In
ton with a suit to recover the cost

TO SEND STATE $500,
ROAD BOND INTEREST
Borough Counsel Bell Will At
tend Trunk Sewer Meet
ing in Newark.

q The North Arlington Common Coun-
Gil last night passed a resolution call
ing for a special election in the borough
to vote on the ISSUANCE of $25, 900 worth
OF bonds, to be used for the installation
OF q water supply in the borough. The
date of the election was xed for De-
SsInbeF 1. The question as to whether
a plant will be constructed will also be
submitted to the voters.
Councilman Roll offered the resolu-
ton and it was seconded by Council
man Hill, the other members voting for
1t. Councilmen O'Hara, Kingsland and
Brandenburg were absent.
Mayor Bayliss called attention to the
fact that tho State Treasurer had mott
fed him that interest amounting to 5000
on the road bonds had not been paid.
Mayor Bayliss explained this by saying
that the Rutherford National Bank,
where the borough funds were deposit
ed, took care OF the matter. A short
time ago the funds were transferred to
the West Hudson County Bank, in
Harrison, and when the letter request
ing a check from the Rutherford Bank
was received they sent back word to
Trenton that they had no money.
Collector Eckhardt was instructed to
see that @ check was sent to Trenton.
A communication from the Passaic
Valley Sewerage Commission was re-
ceived requesting the Council to be
present at a meeting in Newark tomor-

ties who have agreed to go into the
sewerage scheme will be drawn UP.

THOSE BLAMED
Devil WAGONS"
GET THEIR GOAT
North Arlington Council and
Marshal in Particular Say
Things About EN-.

Councilman Daniel Mccarthy, Of
North Arlington, at a meeting Of the
Common Council of that place last
night said hat something should be
done to stop autoists from speeding
through the borough streets. He. said
the borough is at big expense keeping
the roads in repair and that auto
mobiles come along and tear them up.
Councilman Roll inquired whether
the State should not give the borough
some of the automobile license money
as five and a half miles Of borough
roads are being used by motorists, and
the State should give some money to
help keep the roads in repair.
Marshal Reipe said that there was
not a flying machine made that could
go any faster than some Of the ma
chimes that spin through the borough.
And it's impossible to stop them" he
said. "The best I get when I try to
halt them is a loud Of dust, and when
I am through rubbing my eyes the ma
chine is out of sight"
The Council took no action.
