EIFFEL FLIGHT
 WRIGHT TRIUMPH
Special from United Press.)

Special from United Press) Pars, Oct. 19.-While all France is commenting Count DeLambert for his flight over Paris yesterday. Orville Wright to-day is enthusiastic over the fact that the flight was made in 2 Wright machine and was therefore. practically a Wright triumph. Wright, who with his sister Katherine is in Paris, said to-day that Count De- Lambert's Eiffel Tower flight was one of the greatest ever made in an aero- plane of this type" The value of a scout aeroplane, able to cruise over an enednys city at a height of from 200 to- 1900 feet, that maintained by DeLanibert, cannot be over estimated. The value of the aeroplane in attack is now assured"
 q feel,'' continued Wright, "that De- Lambert's flight proves beyond a doubt that the construction of our aeroplane is the correct method of building aeroplanes All doubts on that score are now set at resi-
 Count DeLambert is the hero of Paris to-day. Scores of congratula- tory letters and telegrabs have been received. The French aero club has voted him gold medal for his flight, and scientific societies are planning to honor him.
 Tt was announced to-day that the Juvisy Aero Meet, scheduled to end on Thursday would be continued three days and would euln1inate in a grand tournament on Sunday. Ar engagements have been made by the society for the encoura cement of avia- ton, for great banquet in honor of DeLambert Thursday evening, at which the society will present him with a gold medal

ITALIANS ARE
 NOT GOING TO
 BE DELIVERED
Tired of Being Used as CatSpaws by
 Republican Ring.
Fake Republican Italian Clubs Thai Represent Only Ward Heelers -Ihe Trne Situation.

A few of the employees of the street cleaning department and some of w. R. Browns help at the U. M. c. Go. got together last night at the rear of a grocery store. 600 Pembroke street, and formed the Italian Republican Club. After everyone present had been elected to office the meeting adjourned.
 Michael Del Vecchio was chosen president. and his cousin. Mike Del Veccfio was made corresponding sec retary while his other cousin. Lorenzo Donofrio. was made vice president. The rest of the offices were divided among the IF other men present. Flor F into Farese. one of the street foreman, is the moving spirit in "The Italian Republican Club"
 A prominent Italian citizen said this morning: There are 400 Italian voters in Bridgeport. but that is no Republi- can organization among them. The men who take pride in their American citizenship are getting tired of having it go forth that they are being voted in groups by someone who holds political job.
 After the recent primaries in the Eighth and Tenth districts it was proven to the Italian-Americans that the Republican party is not very strong for them when it comes to giving
 
 In the two districts where there were citizens with Italian names running for office they received the support of only those men bearing Italian names.
 James V. Massey. editor of II Sole was beaten in the Tenth apd Joseph D. Agostino. a business man was un- successful in the Eighth.
 "On the head of these two defeats there were a large number of Italians who became convinced that the Re publican party like the Italian for his vote but not as candidate. About 50 of the best known men in the local Italian colony got together and decid- ed to form an Italian Democratic club but this idea was changed and it was decided to form an Italian n-American Civic Alliance to be composed of both Democrats and Republicans and to en- dorse candidates on both tickets. This organization will be perfected before election with big meeting at which it is expected to have at least 300 of the 400 voters present. There is no doubt that the first endorsement of the alliance will be favora blel to most of the candidates o1 the Democratic ticket once they are nominated. M
 ttThe Italians are white men. They have children who are destined to be as good Americans as were ever born under the stars and stripes and they want recognition other than that which comes from measuring them as a voting commodity"

WILBUR HITS AT DANGER ELEMENT

 Washington, Oct. 19.-When Wilbur Wright's attention was called to-day to the spectacular flight made by Count DeLambert one of his pupils in one of the Wright bi-planes over Paris, he shook his head dnbiously. "It was a very successful flight" he said, "and l ann very glad that it was done in one of our machines. But there is too much of an element of danger in that kind of performance. not only to the aviator himself but to the spectators as well.
 ''If something had gone wrong with his battery he would have to descend perhaps in a crowded street"
 The failure of his rown magneto during a flight with Lieutenant Lahm over the College Park course, few minutes later, forcing him to descend abruptly, caused him to utter this skepticism. Wright was flying only about 25 feet above the ground when his motor came to stop. He land end lightly and without mishap

SPECIAL COMMITTEE REPORTS

The report of the special committee which investigated the construction of the Bostwick avenue school was sub- mitted to the Common Council, last night and adopted. Phe caommittee finds that the building is unsafe from the standpoint of fire. and that it is unsatisfactory from a mechanical point. The report was transmitted to the Board of Education with request that they take steps to place the school in a conditi on that will conform with the specifications for it's constructions. companied by the report of the engi-s neer which shows that the building is out of plumb in many ways.
 The report of the committee follows: tigate the condition of the new Bost- wick avenue school house. consisting of Aldermen McMurray, Bertilson, Griffin, Finlan and Burnes, respect fully begs leave to report as follows:
 That they have made very thor ough investigation of the charges and of the true condition of said Bostwick avenue school and find that the charges brought by the officers of Brick Layers and Plasterers' Union No 9 and Stone Masons Union No. 4. are well founded, that the condition of said building does not compare favorably with the building constructed at the same time by other builders. and for other corporations and private owners The committee have visited the build ing in question and find that even to an eye untrained in building me- chaDics, that the omissions and vari- ances from regular building codes are easily noticeable. The report of the engineers who took measurements at the building on the request of the petitioners is hereto appended and made part of this report.
 'The committee further find that a partition where brick was called for in the plans. specified tions and con- tract has been substituted by a wood en partition which in, the opinion Of the committee, is a very fragrant vio- lation as this partition is directly over the boiler room and no freproof con- naces and the aforesaid partition. Your committee find that the front has been recently trated to coating of oil which. however, does not materially improve the appearance of the build ing.
 Your committee deem it their duty to condemn the work on said building as being unsafe, from a fire point of view and entirely unsatisfactory from a mechanical point.

IS FIRST :! TEST
OF ICE CREAM
DR.. Mueller Finds That Manu-
facturers Are Obeying the
New Ordinance.
GOOD QUALITY IS SHOWN
Secures ID Different Samples and All
Are Free of Gelatine and In
furious Substances.
GOOD QUALITY IS SHOWN

DIR. Albert N Mueller, health COM
missioner, yesterday made the first
test of ice cream sold in the city. un
der the new ordinance which was
adopted by the city council after
something of a fight by the manu-
facturers and dealers. DR.. Mueller
gathered Is samples of the ice cream
during the day, and found that the
new measure is being generally
obeyed. He stated this morning. that
he found no traces of gelatine in the
samples tested. and no other of the
substances the use of which is for
hidden by the ordinance.
1t is reported that the dealers con-
templated a legal fight to have tho
ordinance declared void, but were ad-
vised by attorneys that to engage in
such litigation would cost more in
the long, run, in patronage, than the
cost of obeying the ordinance as it
was adopted. There is some differ
, ence of opinion among the attorneys
cas- to whether the ordinance would
stand in court, but the sentiment pre-
walls that If the dealers start fight
on the measure it will be taken as
an indication that they doanot de-
sire to supply their customers-wi 18th
a pure wholesome product. At any
rate the manufacturers seem TO have
concluded to live up to the new or
dinance. for there has been a not
fceable change in the product of
some, and the use of gelatine APP
pears to have been entirely discon-
tinued.
Give a Guarantee.
The tests yesterday showed that
the Davenport manufacturers who
sell their product here, and who were
so strongly opposed to the adoption
of the new ordinance, and comply
ing with the requirements, and have
done away with the use of gelatine,
at least in the ice cream sold on this
side. In fact some of the Davenport
manufacturers are guaranteeing to
their patrons in Rock Island that the
ice cream will stand the test, and
that the retailer will not become Ii
able to fine for selling it.
DR.. Mueller means to continue the
testing of the samples until all of
the ice cream sold in the city has
been shown to be.up to the standard
fixed by the ordinance.
Milk is Better.
DR.. Mueller also gathered samples
of milk and cream yesterday for the
monthly test of the health depart
Inent of the city. He states that the
recent letter sent to the dairymen has
had the desired effect, and that a
much better quality of milk is being
found now. The product is generally
well up to the standard, and some is
far above the requirements. In fact
