GREAT FLIGHTS PROMISED.
Brookins and Hoxsey Will Go After
New Records at State Fair.

In spite of the fact that the gov
ernment specifications governing the
purchase of the aerOplane, which Is
now being used In the signal corps OF
the army, were considered very strin-
gent at the time the tests were made
in West Virginia over a year ago, the
Wright biplanes which will be seen
in four daily flights during the COM
ing state fair will be even more re-
markable machines than the one pur-
chased by the government. The gov
ernment test required speed of 40
miles an hour continued for one hour,
with two passengers. The Wrights
complied with every feature Of the
government requirements, and then
some, as the speed exceeded an aver
age OF AZ miles an hour, and the ma
chine stayed in the air nearly 80 min
utes longer than the test required
The machines to be seen at the
state fair have been improved in
many ways over the machine sold the
government. They will have more
powerful motors, the propeller gear
ing is different, permitting of much
faster speed, and other improvements
in the front and rear rudders and the
warping arrangement OF the planes
permit of much more clever handling.
Arch Hoxsey and Walter Brookins,

thousands at the time OF the Elks'

they arc unanimous in the decision that

OF Mr.. Meredith is that the Council
should simply be asked to preserve the
house, and let IL be decided later to
what use 1t shall be put. whether to
turn ~ over to- the societies or to use
II as an administrative building for the

that we repair the building from our

Nearly all of the dead and severely

which occupied part of the fourth floor

probably escaped a like fate by being
at home attending the mother. who is
critically Ill.
Chachkin's force Of operators was
greatly reduced, owing to the shirt
waist strike. Otherwise, it is believed
the number of fatalities would have
been even greater.
The flames which started in the
elevator shaft on the fourth floor, are
