Charles J.. Glidden of the Aerial Nav

yited Melvin Vaniman, chief engineer
of the Walter Wellman expedition, to
submit plans for a big dirigible suita-
BILE for carrying twenty passengers
from Boston to New York, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore and Washington. II
the plans meet with the approval of
the companys engineers construc-
tion on the dirigible will begin in the
winter or spring at the Wellman
sheds here, where hydrogen gas
plant is already in place. The first
trials would then be possible some
time next summer. II was from these
sheds that Wellman started in !
attempt to cross the Atlantic ocean
a few weeks ago. The aerial route
scheduled by the navigation company
now covers ass miles, the great y {
single stretch being from Boston to
New York. 2S3 miles, which is to be
made without stops. The run from
New York to the national capital will
be interrupted by two stops, one in
: the Quaker City and another at Bal
timore, the distance being 225 miles

with motors having a total Of 400

been made as to the price that will
be charged for carrying passengers
between Boston and Washington. For
some time, it is expected, however
that passage on the aerial lines will
be In the nature of a luxury, and the
cost will be several times greater
than that for the same distance by
railroad. Tickets will not be sold on

some of the short trips made by the
