DR. LAFIELD
 FLIES WITH BIRDMAN PAINE

Aviation has claimed we'll known Bridgeport professional man as one of its latest enthusiasts in the person of Dr. w Arthur LaField of 233 Fairfield avenue. Dr. LaFieId has long been known as an automobile enthusiast. Within a fortnight however he has been won over to the aviators, and yesterday he made his initial flight.
 In the presence of a few spectators at Seaside park in Paine's bi-plane he and Paine made a flight in which they arose about 10 feet and shot about 100 yards along the ground. It was a short flight, to be sure, but exhilirat- ing enough to convince Dr. LaField that automobiling is not in the same class with real flying.
 During the frequent visits of Leo Stevens to this city to witness the progress of his protege, Paine, he and Dr. LaField have become fast friends. Early this week Dr. LaField went to Mineola as Stevens guest, and saw a dozen machines they could have used had not the weather conditions been adverse.
 D~. LaField received Stevens prom. ises rci only of a balloon ride, but of an aeroplane flight as we'll. Stevens is only recently recruited to the fly. ing machine cohorts. He has all the enthusiasm of the novice with the skill and daring born of long experience in balooning. pr. LaField said today he and Stevens were planning a balloon trip in a few weeks, and that they also expected to make a flight in machine at the first favorable oppor- tunity.

IF PAINE CAN'T
 FLY, THEN PRENOT WILL TAKE 4 TRY
P. F. Mclaughlin, Impressario of AviatOrs, Brings Experienced Aviator Here

F. F. Mclaughlin, impresario of bird men, who gave Paine his start ir, the aviation business. arrived in town today, headed for the Hotel Atlas, and there declared that if Paine doesn't succeed in getting into the air tomorrow, he will have Marcel Prenot, a more, experienced aviator make the attempt in Paine's place.
 That is. if Paine will consent" de- cuts up and objects, that's another natter
 MT. Mclaughlin said that he great ly regretted the controversy that had arisen and that Prof. Atlas had done the right thing throughout.
 his pupils, Marcel Prenot, whose trip halfway across the Hudson won him fame in aviation circles. Prenot was 1.200 feet in the air and half way across the Hudson, when his motor stopped. Seeing that he didn't have a chance to make New York, he turn ed his flyer about and coasted down to the Gutenberg race track. It was a ticklish situation and but for Prenot's coolness would have ended with aviator and aeroplane at the bot tom of the Hudson.
 Mclaughlin is Paine's teacher. He declares that for his own sake he is determined that the people of Bridge port shall have an exhibition if it is possible to give one.
 Paine made g. good flight this morn ing, in fact the best he has made since coming to the city, according to Keeper Tom Keegan at Seaside Park.
 Paine flew several hundred yards at fair height. When he alighted he discovered that one of the connec- tions in his machine had given away It required a little repairing but was nothing serious.

EVERYTHING IS READY NOW FOR
 PAINE'S FLIGHT
Superintendent Birmingham Will be in Charge of Policing Ground RO led Down

Everything is in readiness for the attempted flight of Aviator Frank Paine at Seaside park tomorrow after noon. Nothing but unfavorable weather can prevent the flight, so the aviator states.
 The committee in charge, which in- cludes Prof. James Atlas, has made arrangements to have the meadow at the extreme western end of the park rolled down hard to give the aero- plane good start.
 Gustave Whitehead will probably be present with his monoplane, and if so, will be given a chance to start after Paine has made his attempt. z
 Superintendent Eugene Birmingham will have plenty of men at the grounds and will see that Paine is given am- pie space in which to get his machine into the air.
 Prof. Atlas has arranged for an ex- perienced aviator to assist in mak- ing the arrangements for the flight. Leo Stevens and P. F. Mclaughlin are expected to be present. The commit tee is doing everything in it's power to make things right for Paine.

CONSOLIDATION OF CRAFTSMEN
 ORDERED HERE

At the meeting of Stone Masons' Union No. 4 held last evening, com municatiOn was read from the Execu- tive Board of the Bricklayers, Masons' and Plasterers International Union ordering the consolidation of Brick layers and Plasterers Union No. ? and the Stone Masons. This step is in line with the policy inauguratej by the present Executive Board re- garding the consolidation wherever States and Canada.
 In New York city recently, the Bricklayers Unions of that city was reorganized and five unions now con- tain the membership of the thirteen unions that formerly existed; about nine thousand bricklayers were affect ed by the change.
 The adoption of the International Mortuary Benefit where the bene- ficiaries of a deceased member is en- titled to s100 or $200 according to 3 mans term of membership was also the incentive for the International Union to consolidate local unions, as it was necessary to have the 90,000 m embers associated together in as few unions as possible for their best in- terests.
 A special meeting of the Bricklay- CTS and Plasterers Union No. will be held in their hall on Monday even- ing, March 9th, at which time the consolidation will take place and of- ficers elected to govern the new union.
 The consolidation in this city will affect about two hundred members.

In a tele- gram received last night from Mrs Grippin, who has made arrangements for the shipment of the body to this city, it was stated that MT. Grippin caught cold on Sunday night. His death occurred Tuesday evening, not Wednesday evening as was at first be- lieved from the original dispatch bear ing the tidings of his demise
 MT. Grippin's family expects the body will reach this city by Sunday or Monday. Until more definite in- formation as to the return of Mrs Grippin from the ill starred honey moon is received here. the family will not make preparations for the funer- al. Details have been entrusted to Attorney Edward K Nicholson, MT. Grippin's counsel and close personal friends, and to Funeral Directors Hawley, Wilmot & Reynolds.
 Hundreds of letters, telegrams and other messages of sympathy have poured into the Grippin family since yesterday morning, when the first news reached this city.

Barks like those issuing from a tank full of trained seals aroused the drowsy attaches of the Hotel Strat- field at 2 o'clock this morning. The night clerk saw a strange spectacle as he glanced up from his work. In the lobby stood a man, streaming with blood. gesticulating wildly and emit ting the most weird noises. First they would sound like the blast of the Crane Co.'S siren, then would bear a striking resemblance to the sounds from the Barnum & Bailey elephant house.
 It was not long before Robert F. Clark. the gum shoed night watchman, arrived on the scene. What hap pened thereafter is a. question of ver- acity between Clark and the stranger. Owing to an unfortunate natural im- pediment. however. the stranger can't keep up to Clark in his narratic1 of what followed. In any event.
