ARMY FLYERS PLAN
LONG AIR VOYAGES
AViators Waiting for Bur.
gess-Wright Aeroplane.

Because OF strong breeze that swept
over the aviation field at College Park
yesterday the army airmen made but
three flights in the Wright machine. Mill
ing made the first flight of the day. He
did not attempt any great altitude. Lieut..
Arnold took the plane aloft in trip Of
about ten minutes md scared about
gracefully.
Eugene Ely, the Curtiss aviator. who
will demonstrate the new Curtiss hydro
plane to the army airmen, left yesterday
for Hammondsport, N. Y, on official
business On his return he will bring the
new Curtiss plane.
The new Burgess Wright ma chine,
which has been eagerly expected by the
army birdmen, will soon arrive at the
aviation park.
Capt. Beck, who is flying the Curtiss
machine, will try for his pilots license
to-day if weather conditions are favor
able.
The Rex Smith aeroplane was taken
out in several short flights by Paul Peck.
To-day, # good conditions prevail, he
viii ltry to attain an elevation Of 500
feet
The new Curtiss model machine which
is being built by E. X. Fox. of Wash
ingtOn, will probably have its first try
out to-day.
Plans for the cross-cOuntry trips to be
made by army aviatOrs are nearing COM
pletion. and with the arrival Of the new
Bursess-Wright plane; the flights will
probably be started in a few days.
There will be four machines to make
the trips and each of the army men will
have his own plane. There are now
three of the machines ready for the test,
the Wright, the Baby Curtiss, and the
eight cylinder CurtiSs with which Capt
Beck flew at San Antonio, Tex.
Fort Meyer, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and possibly New York will be included
in the journey. The Curtiss plane has
made several long trips, but as yet the
Wright craft has not been put to any
great distance event. The test is to be
made for the purpose of aScertaining the
aeroplane's worth in case of war. Few
stops will be made.
The airmen will follow the railroad
tracks the entire distance and will prob
ably make League Island their landing
point whIle in Philadelphia. 1t has not
been announced yet whether any pas
senger will be taken in the flights. but
Capt. Chandler will probably make the
Journey in the Wright plane, which will
likely be assigned to Lieut.. Arnold
Capt. Beck will take the big Curtiss
which is the most powerful plane now in
use by the army.

SCHOOL DIRECTOR
READY FOR DUTIES
DR.. w. NJ. Davidson Arrives
in City from Omaha.

Considering himself henceforth a Citi-
zen of Washington" DR.. William NJ.
Davidson, the new superintendent Of pub
lie schools of the District, registered
Washington as his residence at the
Raleigh last night. DR.. Davidson arrived
yesterday from Omaha. Nebr., and ex-
poets to remain in Washington from now
on, devoting himself to his new duties.
Since he was here last he attended the
National Educational Convention and
other meetings, and said he had not yet
had any time to map out definite plan
for the administration OF the local
schools.
As a general principal in education. DR..
Davidson said he believed in moderniZing
the present system, in order to meet
every requirement and demand of pres
ent-day life. He does not mean by that,
however, that the education Of either the
heart or the mind should be neglected
in order to benefit the education Of the
brain or the muscle.
A sound body, according to DR.. David
son, is necessary to bring about the best
results in the education of youth. He
believes in the motto, Mems sana in
corpore sano," or "A sound mind in a
healthy body" and favors all sorts Of
outdoor exercise like Fairgrounds, calls
themes, athletics, gymnastics for the
pupils. DR.. Davidson is OF the opinion
that this branch OF the educational sys-
tom is not as methodlzed as It ought
TO be In order to briIg about desired re-
suits.
There Is no reason why Washington.
with the splendid teaches and facilities
at hand, and with the assistance of its
enterprising citizens Should aot have the
model schools Of the country said DR..
Davidson.

HERO AND BURGLAR
WERE ALIKE A MYTH
The True Story of an Alleged Chase of Thief by
Young Easby-S

Seventeen-year-old Paul Easby-Smith.

morning newspaper with having routed
a desperate burglar from his home" was
dumfounded yesterday morning when, on
arising from a peaceful nights sleep, he
discovered that he had unconsciously be-
come one of Dame Fiction's heroes. He
could hardly believe his eyes as for more
than a column he read of deeds of which
he had no recollection. He remembered
that he had gone to sleep at 10 o'clock the
night previous, but the newspaper de-
clared that he had, sinsle-handed. ''alone
with his six sisters" driven desperate
burglar from his home and saved the
family silver"
Young Easby-Smith was embarrassed
and not little puzzled. So were the po-
lice of the Second precinct and Central
Office detectives who had been assigned
TO the case. Maj. Sylvester also was
somewhat perturbed, not so much when
he first heard of the affair from the
newspapers columns rs he was later
when young Easby-Smith filed an affi-

DOUBLE TRACK TO
CONGRESS HEIGHTS
Commissioners Criticised for
Blocking the Work.

The August meeting of the Public
Improvement Association of Congress
Heights, held in the town hall in Ala
bama avenue last evening. was mainly
devoted to the proposed extension of
the double track system to Congress
Heights from Anacostia, A letter from
Gen. Harries, of the railway company,
read last evening. giving that COM
pany's stand in the matter, started the
discussion. 1t stated that the COM
pany had requested that a permit be
issued them to do this work. but that
it had been held up at the District
Building, because said company refused
TO do certain work on the east side Of
its present track, which is not required
by law. Commissioner Judson stands
firm in his decision that no permit will
be granted until the railway company
agrees to do this work
The discussion, which was quite
lengthy, was favorable to the railway
company and adverse to the Commits
sioners, on the ground that the latter
were attempting TO require more than
the law demands. Definite action was
postponed until the September meeting,
as 1t Is hoped that in the meantime the
work can proceed as originally proposed.

DIFFERENCE IN SALARIES.
Remsen Board Exceeded DR.. wi1ey's
Expenditure.

There is little difference between the
way the members Of the Remsen board
are paid for their expert services and the
way DR.. Harvey w. Wiley attempted to
compensate DR.. Busey, the laboratory
expert, for his work in the interest of the
public health. according to statements
made at yesterdays hearing before the
House Committee on Expenditures in the
Agricultural Department, which has be-
gun an inquiry into the Wiley case.
The members of the Remsen board are
Sill enjoying their compensation of $2, 900
a year, and the department contends
their employment is legal, although the
cOmmitte believes it can demonstrate be-
fore the hearings have been long in prog
ress that legal opinion prepared at the
Department of Justice, and which never
saw the light Of day, held exactly the
contrary.
DR.. Wiley has been recommended for
dismissal because he tried to employ DR..
Busey at a compensation of 1000 a fig
ure in excess OF that authorized by law
for the employment OF experts.

davit that the entire story was AN
abominable fabrication"
This is absolutely disheartening to a
police department" said Maj. Sylvester
after his men had been hunting down
the burglar of fiction for several hours,
here after working, necessarily on this
alleged burglary case for hours the de-
tectives and policemen assigned to the
case are told by the only man supposed
to have seen the burglar that the whole
story is a myth.
Young Easby-Smith has taken an oath
to me and the detectives that he was
approached by a newspaper reporter en-
ployed by a morning newspaper early
Monday evening. The reporter, he said,
told him that he was going to write a
story about him chasing away burglar:
He said he told the man he did not care,
thinking that the latter was Joking about
II. He declared that he was dumfounded
when he saw the column article in the
newspaper this morning. Several times
before similar stories of crime have
caused the department considerable wor-
ry and work which could have been spent
remedying bona fide evils
The police are now wondering what
yarn will next be printed
