HOW THEY EXTEND A

In English Capital.

BALTIMORE, Md, March 31.-Mr.
Frank Frick, chairman of the COM
mittee and enc of those who have
given much time to work out the de-
tails of the plan for extending How
ard street from Richmond Market to
Mount Royal station, says he was i'm

London
Mr.. Frick says that Kingsway, a
street in London, was built at an ex-
pense of $25,OOO,O0O through one of the
worst sections of the East End. Before
street opening was talked Of he says,
this street was one where even intrepid
travellers did no. venture without first
ascertaining the whereabout of a pa
trolman.
The London authorities determined
to run a street through this distric:,
buy UP adjacent territory and then sell
it to desirable persons. Mr.. Frick says
he was present at the opening OF
Kingsway and was astonished at the
change.
Mr.. Frick is inclined to believe
that Baltimore would find, as London
did, that when he resale of the adj

realized would go far in paying for tire

FLYING TESTS Of
NOTED INVENTOR
EXPERIMENTAL WORK DONE
WITH AEROPlANES AND TET-
RAHEDRAL KITES.
Alexander Graham Bells Aerial Elk
pertinent Association Is For
maIy Disbanded.

paddock, n. S., March 31.-Dr.
Alexander Graham Bells Aerial Elk
pertinent association, which has been
engaged in experimental work with
aeropanes and tetrahedral kites for
more than a year was formally DIS
banded here today.
'Dr. Bell is more than satisfied wi h
The success attained" said Mr.. Curtiss
yesterday HE believes the expert
mental work has accomplished practi-
cally all that was expected. The time
has come, however, to branch out on
broader lines and several aeroplanes
will be bull at once on the models of
the successful machines that have
been tried out in the past year."
The association has spent $4,000 in
lis experiments, the greater part Of
which was contributed by Mrs. Bell.
With DR.. Bell and Mr. Curtiss at
Baddeck are j. A. d. McCurdy, who
designed the Silver Dart, and F. w.
baldwin, young engineer from Tor
onto. These four men comprise the as
ISOLATION membership, but it was
started with five, the fifth member be-
ing the late Lieut.. Selfridge. who was
killed in the fall of Orville Wright's
machine az Fort Myer last summer.
DR.. Bell was deeply grieved by this ac-
cident, and, although the Silver Dart
was especially constructed to carry two
men, Dr. Bell has refused to permit a
trial of he. aeroplane with a second
man. With the disarmament of the as
soc.atiOn, however, it is possible that
flight of the machine, with two men
will be made In the near future at
HammOndsport.
OF the four aeroplanes built by the
Aerial Experiment association the first
was Lieut. Sc ridges Red Wing, which
flew 319 fee on March y, 1908. This
was the first aeroplane to make a sue
