POLICE CIRCLES
EXTREMELY QUIET
MUCH OF THE DISORDER HAS
BEEN Welded OFT ON THE
SOUTIISIDE.

On glancing over the police books
Yesterday morning Justice Henry A..
Maurice, in Police Court, Part IL,
uttered an exclamation of surprise.
The docket showed that only three
small arrests had been made. Since
the midwinter gathering of the tam
yard sinners several days ago peace
has reigned In South Richmond. The
records at the Third Police Station
show that last week was the quietest
on record. The usual number of
phone calls complaining of young
men standing on the street corners
and using indecent language has been
eliminated since twenty went over
the hill to take part in the work on
the public roads. while the others
are out on bond. Several other such
persons as those sent to the road by
Justice Maurice are left in South
Richmond. but are busy looking for
work, while others caught the first
car TO Petersburg after the raid was
made.
Justice Maurice yesterday morning
dismissed Waverly Sharp. Vert Neil
and Arthur Crowder. three young
white men. charged with attempted
assault on w. u. Chalkley. of Full
ton.
Ernest Shurn was given ten days
In Jail for begging on the public high
way.
| william. charged with being
drunk and unable to provide for
himself, paid the costs of court and
was dismissed.

MAKES PLANS FOR
ARMY AER0PLbNES
Requirements afOr Future Flying
Craft Based on Record
80 Breaking Flights

Brigadier General James Allen, chief
signal officer, has prepared new speci.
fications for military aeroplanes to be
hereafter purchased by the war depart
ment. They are the result of improve
ments demonstrated by the aeroplane
work Of last summer and as yet are
tentative in character.
Each aeroplane," it is required,
''must carry two persons, with the seats
SO arranged as. to permit of the largest
possible field of operation Eor both.
The control must be capable of use by
either operator from either seat. The
value Of dual control, it will be re-
called, was established in the fights
of Lieutenants 7. G. Ellyson and John
H. Towers in the navy hydrO.aerOplane
Triad. s
The machine is further required to
be able to ascend at q minimum rate
of 1000 feet in ten minutes while carry
ing a weight Of $50 pounds and fuel
supply sufficient for at least four hours
of contfnuous,fight. This requirement
recalls that the American weight carry
ing record established by p. o. Parme-
lee at Chicago last August lis 45S
pounds. Claude Grahame- White, carry
ing n passenger on September 80 at
Nassau boulevard, rose $3.50 feet in
nine minutes.
"This engine" it Is provided, "wil
be subject to an endurance test in tue
air of two hours continuous flight,
The aeroplane must develop speed III
the air of at least forty-five. miles an
! hour" -
American duration record for ma
chine with two persons is three hours
and forty-two minutes, made by G.. w.
Beatty at the Chicago meet. The
world Is record, however, is four hours
twenty-three minutes, established a
few days since by Herr Suvelaek near
Berlin.
''In case the weight carrying
capacity is increased to six hundred
pounds, +" the specifications state, 'the
minimum speed may be reduced TO
thirty-eight miles per hour and the
climbing power diminished to 1000 feet
in ten minutes"
Another requirement rs reminiscent
Of the recent French military competi'
ton, in. which several machines failed
on the same condition as follows:
"The machine must be capable OF
lRnding or arising from ploughed
| fields. -
Other requirements are as follows;
"Tho aeroplane must be easily trans
portable by road, rail, ETC., and easily
and rapidly assembled and adjusted.
"Ths starting and landing devices
