requests. Curtiss also has observed more stringent rules with regard to visitors than has been his custom heretofore. Both aviators want to make their exhibition flights at the first opportunity and they do not care to run the risk of having something broken which would make them un- able to seize the first chance to fly up the Hudson.
 The application of the Wright broth CTS for a temporary restraining order to prevent Curtiss from making exhi- bition flights, applied for today in Buffalo, was sought by the Wrights, according to a. statement by Wilbur today, to hasten court action in their case against Curtiss. T think this suit against Curtiss will be regarded as a test case, he said. We want to get a decision in the matter as soon as pos sible-before too much damage has been done"
 Curtiss, when informed of the ac- ton of the Wrights, went to a tele- phone and conveyed the information to his atto~neys There was no evil dence from the comments of either 'Curtiss or Wright that the action in= volved any personal feeling.

sAILEY-eRYAN DEBATE.
MT. 6ryan's Reasons for Believing De-
 bate lnadvisable.

Lincoln Neb, Sept 30.-In explana- ton of his position on the proposed debate with Senator Bailey of Texas. at Atlanta, Ga. w. J. Bryan addressed a letter today to Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution. The let- ter follows:
 T wired you last night that would communicate with you by letter my reasons for believing debate inadvis- able. When a joint meeting was sug- gested at Fl Paso. Texas. I replied to the effect that I was trying to aid in the election of a democratic majority il the next congress. that to that end have suggested a brief but specific tariff plank which ask democratic candidates to accept. reject or amend. and that believing a debate would tend to turn attention from the issue to individuals. would not consider the proposition unless it came as a per- sonal request.
 II might add the further reason that a debate between two democrats would accentuate the tariff differences that have embarrassed our party in cani- paigns and give the republican news papers a chance to dwell upon demo- cratic dissensions instead of devotins their time. to the contest now being wsged between the progressive republi- cans and the stand -patters.
 "A debate might be pleasing to the participants and entertaining to the audience. but think the subject which am endeavoring to present Is worthy of calm and serious consideration.
 very truly yours,
