AIRSHIP LANDING FOR CHURCH
AGAINST DAY WHEN PEOPLE
FLY TO SERVICES.
Atlanta Edifice to Have Roof That
Will Be Available for Aeroplanes
and Staircase to Auditorium

ATLANTA, Ga, October 14.-Anticipat-
ing that airships will be in common
everyday usage twenty years hence the
board OF stewards of the Wesley Memo
rial Church. an edfice rapidly nearing
completion. had adopted motion in
structing the building committee to so
arrange the roof of the building that
there will be no difficulty in adapting 1t
to commOdiOus airship landings
The committee was requested to see to
1t that a large staircase shall run all the
wiring be so installed that proper lights
can be displayed about the landings, with
wire taps convenient for recharging ex-
hausted dry batteries.
The suggestion concerning the landings
was made by Fred Miles, prominent
member of the board. Mr.. Miles is the
city electrician. and is thoroughly posted
on scientific matters in general.
He told the board that he firmly be-
lieved that within the brief space of
church would sail to and from services in
airships, just as they now speed there in
automobiles.
He thought, inasmuch as the church
was erecting structure that would stand
for fifty or one hundred years. 1t should
be modern in every respect, and that it
was not stretching the imagination too
Mr.. Miles declared that about these
landings should be distributed red and
green lights. The green lights would des-
ignate to the aviator where to alight and
the red ones would show him where it
was dangerous to descend. The red lights

1t was stated that this approach is i'm a
very dangerous condition. and that as
many as four and five horses fall on the
! steep incline every day. In this connec-
ton a letter was read from the engineer
of bridges, w. J. Douglas, to the effect
that every effort would be made to elm
mate danger on this approach. and as
soon as it had sufficiently settled to war
rant permanent work, including the lay
ing of cement roadways and underground
railroad construction, that it would be
done. 1t was stated by the chairman of
the committee on highways that he had
had a talk with the officials of the enSi-
neer departing and 1t was their desire
TO permanently repair this approach.
DR.. r. A. PyleS called the associations
attention to the fact that the new police
station was being constructed of wood.
1t was brought out in the discussion that
construction was that the appropriation
was not sufficient to permit of the con-
struction of brick building.
Quality Of Gas Criticised.
The attention of the proper authorities
will be called to the quality of gas being

for a little criticsing. During the sum-

tention of the railway commission.
BY way of suggestion it was brought
about that the bridge in this section
would look well with some features of or
namentation in the form of animals.
George o. Watson stated that as the other
bridges of recent construction were SO or
namented, something of this character
should be given this locality.

Curtiss' Representative Calls.

Emerson Newell attorney for Glen Cur
tiss, was one of the visitors at the shed
late yesterday evening and inspected the
aeroplane by permission of Wright with a
view to preparing a further reply in the
injunction suit the Wrights have brought
against the Herrng-Curtiss Company.
Mr.. Newell said the suit was not to be
mud-slinging campaign. but was intend
ed simply to see how far the patent held
by the Wrights could protect their ma
chine. He said. of course. that he did not
believe that the Curtiss machine infringed
the Wright patents at all, but they were
anxious to bring the case to a conclusion
as soon as possible SO that every one in
the business would know exactly where
they stood.
One of the enlisted men of the Signal
Corps, Edward Eldred, was taken away
from the shed today to the hospital at
Fort Myer. The weather at the field has
turned very cold and he was suffering
from fever brought on by exposure.
Small Crowd Disappointd.
A small crowd was at the park all
yesterday afternoon, but the wind re-
manned high and there was no attempt
made to bring out the machine.
Wright stayed in the house all after
noon attending to correspondence. He
came to the shed only at shutdown, when
the place was to be shut up for the
night.
Prof. Sylvester of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, one Of yesterdays visi-
tors, said he would be glad to place
the machine shop of the institution at
Wrights disposal II at any time there
shop at the aeroplane shed with fair
equipment of tools, but no lathes or
other machine tools.
Wright said that he would be glad to
avail himself of the college plant in
case it were necessary to make any ex-
tensive repairs
There was some interest expressed at
the training camp over the fact that the
French company controlling the Wright
patents had brought suit against half a
dozen exhibitors at the Paris aeronautic
salon for infringement of patent. The
machines involved include those made by
Bleriot, Latham and Farman.
Only One Biplane Escapes.
In fact, all the biplanes are involved
two box kites, the smaller in the rear
acting as a tail. and with small hori-
zontal rudder in front to control the YER
tical motion. 1t has absolutely rigid
planes and no system of balance except
the tail.
The move of the French syndicate is
in the form of an injunction and does not
ask for the confiscation of the other
machines. 1t will be brought to hear
ing more quickly than the Wright suit
against Glenn Curtiss.
It's interest to the world of aviation
lies in the fact that 1t points to
worldwide legal battle for the supremacy
Of the Wright patent. Should it sue
coed it will leave the Wrights undis
puted masters of the aerial situation and
will give them control of flying machines
in practically every country of the globe
till some one devises a system of aero
plane control so radically different from
the Wright system as entirely to do away
with the warping wings.

High wind prevented Wilbur Wright
from making fight at College Park to-
day.
There was a cold November blast sweep
ing across the field at daylight this morn
ing. The aeroplane shed was not even
opened.
Wilbur Wright, Lieut.. Lahm and Lieut..
Humphreys gathered in the shed and
sharpened tools in preparation for future
carpenter work on the plane. They have
secured new mechanic to take the place
formerly filled by Charley Taylor, now
at work in the Wright shops in Dayton
Wright wants the wind to go down
Ito a dead calm before taking novice
out in the aeroplane. A two-mile-an-hour
breeze would probably satisfy him, but
there is not much likelihood of days as
still as this in the course of a month
at this season.
Up in Twenty-Five-Mile Blow.
He has been up in power-driven ma
chine with the wind blowing about TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour. He has flown a
glider in as much as thirty-mile blow.
The flight in the twenty five mile breeze
was at Rome, Italy. The wind took the
machine off the rail before it had gone
ten feet and turned it around in midair.
Wright says he has not as much curios-
ity to see how high a wind he can fly
in as some people seem to have to see
him do it.
Asked about a report that, If weather
continues unfavorable, he would go south
and finish the training work In Texas or
Florida this winter, he replied merely:
Well. that would make good story, any
how This probably means that he is

The utilization of space under the viaduct,
which is now waste ground, will solve the
difficulties.
What action the other roads will take
on this proposition remains to be seen"
added General Superintendent Park.
Three roads, the Union Pacific, the
Chicago & Northwestern and the Rock
Island, have the greatest traffic through
union station. The other roads entering
Union station are the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, the Illinois Central, the Wa
bash, the Chicago Great Western and the
Missouri Pacific. II three of these roads
hold out it will mean that the improve
ments cannot be undertaken"
The larger railroads nave realized for
a long time the necessity OF making i'm
provements, and are willing to stand the
outlay Of considerable money. The only
thing that seems to stand in the way of
the Improvement appears to be the mat
ter of expense with the smaller roads.
Union station was built and is owned
by the Union Pacific railroad. Other roads,
however, that have terminals in Omaha
have a voice in its management. Rental
is based entirely upon the traffic of each
company, assessed upon the number of

1t VIII Possess Many Features of
Advantage to the Genera
Public,

The new stamp department of the Omaha
postoffice is about completed and will be
ready for occupancy early In the coming
week. 1t is located at the southeast corner
Of the main work room Of the postoffice,
across the main lobby from the money
order office, In the quarters hitherto oc-
-cupied by the superintendent of carriers.
The superintendent OF carriers office win
be removed to the location now used as
the general delivery room.
The genera, delivery quarters will be
removed to the north side Of the main
work ROOM west Of its present location.
-Four general delivery windows will be pro-
vided for the-accommodation Of the public,
instead Of two as heretofore. The past
due, over due and directory rooms will
adjoin the general delivery room. thus
affording reader access to these depart
ments.
With the transformation of the old car
ricr delivery room into the new stamp
department, the Sunday noon delivery nf
mail by carriers will be made in the
general carriers distributing aisles, OF
which there are three. A door has been
cut through from the main ,obby. and
parties calling for the carrier mail on
Sundays win pass through this door to
their respective carriers, and will make
their exit out through the main work room
by the north door, near the general de-
livery.
II is thought that this new Arrangement,
which will 90 into effect next Sunday will
prevent crowding and VIII greatly ex-
pedite the delivery OF the Sunday mall.
