Wright Aeroplane Will
 Be Seen Tn Birmingham
Contract Closed For Two Flights Daily During Big State Fair Attraction Will Cost s1O0OO But Fair Manage
 ment Think It Will Be Worth It

Brothers forfeit the payment for that day
 The contract provides that one of the following we'll known aviators who were trained by the Wright Brothers, shall make the flights: Hoxsey, Johnstone, Pamalee, La Chappele or Coffyn. Each flight must continue for not less than 10 minutes and the aeroplane must main tain height of not less than 25 feet
 Probably the most interesting feature of the whole contract is the provision for a fve-mile race with an automobile. This will occur on the second or third day of the fair and the aeroplane must circle the track five times and stay within the limits of the track fences. A prize will be offered to the automobilist who is willing to race for the five miles
 It is provided under the contract that no Wright machine can exhibit in Alabama between now and the date of the fair, Tor for 60 days after the close of the fair
 The aeroplane will be on exhibit in tent at the grounds between the flights.

WILL ATTEND TRIAL
Birmingham Detectives Will Go to
 Montgomery to Testify

Detectives Wren and Slgsbee will leave for Montgomery today to attend the trial of Morris Brown. the negro who was arrested some time ago by Detective Sigs- bee. charged with wrecking some of the Louisville and Nashville trains. MT. Sigs- bee said last night.
 We are almost certain of getting con- viction in the case. as the solicitor at Montgomery said the other day that he knew Brown would be convicted"
 If the negro is found guilty the detec- tives claim that the penalty will be very heavy and probably death.
 Brown Is accused of wrecking one of the Louisville and Nashville passenger trains a few months ago several miles south of Montgomery The negro was arrested few weeks ago by Sigsberl down at Montgomery and the arrest considered very good piece of detectiy work.

VIADUCT PLAN WILL.
 COME UPWEDNESDAY.
CITy COUNCIL WILL HAVE SEVER AL IMPORTANT MATTERS BEFORE TT AT NEXT SEsSION-NEW PAW ING CONTRACTS

That the viaduct plan which the city of Birmingham has been contemplating for some time will be adopted at tho session of the City Council next Wednes- day evening. seems to be the consensus of opinion among the city aldermen and officeholders The session Wednesday night promises to be lively one, as there are several important matters which will probably be brought up for dis cussion and action.
 The viaduct question and the commer- cial electric light proposition will be the two most important matters for the coun- cil to take action upon, although some large contracts for street paving and some new sewers on the Southside are to be considered. There are street building plans now under consideration for the Southside, which will cost approximate ly $3OO,0OO The bids have already been received for this work, but the contracts are yet to be let. Under the new law bids are received for all kinds and forms of paving and the city engineer must then figure out each separate bid for each separate kind of street before the
 
 taking the bids the kind of street which the residents are going to have can never be determined until the contracts are awarded.
 It is believed that the viaduct plan will be adopted without any reference being made to the closing of the streets and alleys, although some agreement will probably be made by which the streets and alleys can be opened if the business of the district ever demands it. Some of the aldermen are in favor of subways in stead of viaducts, but 1t appears as though the yiaducts would be decided upon without serious opposition.
 In this connection City Engineer Nichol- son is having the railroad subways sur veyed with the object in view of de- termning what. if any, drainage can be obtained in case the subway proposi- ton should be taken up seriously.
 The work on the large sewer contracts on the Southside has now been suspend ed for time. Citizens claim that the contractors have failed to carry oua their agreement in regard to the time fd> the completion of the work and have fallen short in some other matters also.

Birmingham is to have a series of flights by Wright aeroplane.
 J. H. Holcombe. president of the Ala bama State Fair association, yesterday signed the contract with Thomas P. Jack son, the representative of the Wright Brothers and two flights will be made daily at the Fair grounds.
 The attraction will cost the associa- ton about s1o,ooo but the executive com mittee believes 1t will be the greatest thing ever brought to the state to draw crowds. The contract is regarded as es- pecially favorable to the State Fair man. agement. It provides that the machine shall be here and ready for a flight the afternoon of the first day of the fair and that two flights daily shall be made for the first five days of the fair The management then has an option on ad- ditional flights for the final three days of the fair. In case of failure to make any scheduled flight, whether because of weather or other conditions, the Wright

trip yesterday MT. Parker said:
 T wish to be the first man in Alabama other than the driver to fly in a Wright aeroplane. I will not attempt to soar very high but I will go far enough up to be able to say that I have ridden in an airship. I think the negotiations for this attraction is one of the best deals that has been made by the fair management. We are every one interested in the ad- vancement of air passage and the recent developments indicate that the world has not witnessed the start even of the won derful results of the Wright Brothers work
 Birmingham and Alabama will be for tunate in securing this attraction

seaboard to Handle Mall Sacks

On account of fine records made in traffic the United States government will probably designate the Seaboard Air Line as the official mail route from Birmingham to Washington for empty bags. The government mails tc are decidedly greater than from this city north. The empty bass make three car loads every few days and the Seaboard has been transporting these empties for the government. Fine records have been made and the ser vice has been so satisfactory that the Seaboard will likey secure the busi- ness permanently and over competitors.

 In speaking of the actual answer which was filed yesterday he said
 "The answer does not require the attendance here of General Wright or myself. So neither of us will be here We have filed our answer, which is denial of every charge made by the governments petition. That will be handled by the court and then per haps we will visit Birmingham.
 We expect to win the case wher the time arrives for the introduction of testimony. The government has based its case upon unfounded in formation. I believe the government has been misled by its agents and that when we present all of our evil dence the case will fall through. The grocers as a rule feel that everything will come out all right and that we will be fully yindicated by the jury"
 During the afternoon MT. McLaurin visited many of the grocers on Morris avenue. He did not so far as was learned enter into any formal consul ta ton with them but simply sketched over the suit as 1t now stands. He stated that Gn answer to the case had been sent him three or four days ago, but that he was so very busy that he did not read 1t.
