LOCAL CHURCH TO
 BUILD APARTMENTS
UniverSaliStS Will Use Low CT Floor for Social Pur-
 poses; Rents Overhead
OTHERS TO BUILD, TOO

At a meeting of the building com mittee of the Universalist church held last night action was taken which will change the entire aspect of Elm street and fill long want by prov1d- ing for public use desirable apart ment houses. The one that the church is to build will be the first or several such buildings to be erected on the street. Others are to be erect ed by George w. Jackman and pr. Thomas F. Martin.
 The Universalist church apartment house will be built on the property or the church at the rear of the ed1hce and will have a frontage in Elm st. It will cost approximately S15,OOO, and will be so arranged that the lower floor of the building will be occupied as parlorS, social rooms, and sunday school rooms for the church. The building at the rear of the church now used for social purposes has long been in poor condition. George w. Jack man who is the chairman of the building committee of the church hit upon the plan of putting up build into the church.
 The building committee was ap- pointed last May and all agreed that the apartment house plan would be good one but many were dubious as to whether the location was a good one or not. MT. Jackman was willing to support his proposition to the ex- tent of offering to build an apartment house on the same side of the street, just east of the site of the apartment house proposed for the church. Any further objection was withdrawn to the apartment house proposition when it was stated that pr. Martin who owns land on the north side of the street, across the way from the Uni versalist church would also build a similar house on the site now occu- pied by his barn in case the neigh borhood was improved.
 The apartment house plan is to pro- vide three and four room flats with steam heat, hot water, and light fur nished by the owners.
 Now that the church has decided to go ahead with the proposition plans will be gotten out at once for the church structure and the work com menced as soon as possible. MT Jackman will also commence his work in the near future.
 The churchs building will be of brick, three stories above the grade of Elm street and one story below.

It was love at first sight The romance progressed with such celerity that in less than week Rothschild had declared his love and was accepted. gaining the consent of the girls parents.
 He then cabled the news of his en- gagement to his father in Vienna and received in reply cable urging him to wait for while before marrying. Dr. Mem endorsed this and Rothschild hurried to Europe to plead with his father after arranging for Olga and her mother to follow.
 Arriving at Vienna. however, the young man received a stern rebuke from his parents who refused absolute ly to consent to any alliance with an A Qir nSl hearted. returned to Hamburg where he told the girl f-his fathers decision and the engagement was broken.

Washington. July 2.-After making
two successful flights late today, the
Wright aeroplane met with a slight
mishap, which Will delay further tests
until next week. The machine with
Orville Wright at the helm, was on
its way around the Fort Myer drill
grounds for the ninth time in its sec
ond flight, when suddenly the motor
stopped, sixty feet above the earth
The great bird-like machine came -
a %standstill then glided to the earth
without injury to its occupant.
1t was at exactly the same place
where the propeller blade broke last
September. which resulted in the fa-
tai accident which terminated the
trials at that time. In gliding today
the machine struck a tree and was
swerved around with such force that
the skids were broken and the right
wing badly ripped.
Despite the mishap the two flights
today were the most successful thai
Orville Wright has made at Fort
Myer since his return to complete
the government trials. on the first
attempt he flew about the field
twelve times in eleven minutes and
fifty seconds. and on the second trial
had gone around eight and one-half
times when the flight was terminated,
During both flights Mr.. Wright went
higher and faster than in the trials
If the two previous days. It was es-
timated that his speed was about
thirty-seven miles an hour on an av-
erage. although the machine prob
ably exceeded forty miles when fly
ing with the breeze.
After the mishap Orville said he
would not be ready for another flight
before Tuesday at the earliest.
The motor on the aeroplane had
been missing explosions for some time
before it stopped. Evidently some
changes had been made either in the
sparker or the motor, as it was de-
veloping more power han on the two
previous days.
Orville got away in splendid shape

eled with greater equilibrium than
