New Wright AeropIane on Test
at College Park.
WEIGHT-CARRYING MACHINE
Accident Hats the Demonstration
Col. c. II. Winder Makes Sue
~ cessful Flight.

There was brief period of flying for
the new Wright aeroplane at College
Park yesterday afternoon. This was the
first Of the Wright weight-carriers to be
delivered. 1t was not radically differ
emit from the standard Wright machine
of previous seasons. but there had been
q number of small improvements in de-
tail. and the machine was said by Orville
Wright, who was present during the fore
noon, to be one of the best built the
factory has produced.
The machine is 3S-foot biplane
and the engine Is of six cylinders in
stead of four, the previous standard
for the Wright machines. The gasoline
tank has been set fiat on the lower plane
behind the operators seat, lessening the
wind resistance and reducing the chances
Of tank explosion. The propellers
are Of the usual Wright design, but run
at little over 500 revolutions per min
ute in the air, which is almost 1OO faster
than the old aeroplane.
r. Welch as Demonstrators.
A. L. WEIGH is to do the demonstr ating
Of the machine for the War Department.
He started on a flight yesterday, but
before he had been in the air five min
utes. small bit of the gear between the
engine and the magnetic jolted out and
the engine stopped as If it had been sand
bagged. He was about 200 feet UP when
the accident happened and made an easy
glide down. The incident at least show
ed that the machine is a good glider
Further demonstrations will be postponed
till the coming week.
The accident was exasperating, as the
weather conditions were good and the
machine was climbing at the rate of $50
feet minute when 1t was halted. Orville
Wright left for Dayton during the aft
ernoon- He said before going that the
machine had made about fifty-four miles
an hour with $50 pounds on, and that it
was easily capable of the climb. 1t is
required to make only forty-five miles an
hour in horizontal flight, but must climb
1000 feet in ten minutes, with $50 pounds
Of added weight

Plaintiff to Pay Costs.

Judge Edward c. Peter, in the circuit
court here. has handed down his decision
in the suit Of Louis C. Witkowski against
the mayor and council of Glen Echo, dis
missing the bill of complaint and placing
the costs on Witkowski.
The suit was instituted last summer, at
which time WftkoWski was mayor Of
Glen Echo, to enjoin the carrying into
execution Of an alleged ordinance appro-
priating money of the town of Glen Echo.
and also to restrain the holding of an
of Glen Echo, because of alleged irregu-
larities In the selection Of one of the judges
to off1ciate at the election. At the time
the suit was filed a temporary injunction
was granted by Judge Peter and the cleo
ton was not held. In his decision Judge
Peter asserts that the court erred in pre-
venting the election.
1.-THE election should have been held"
declared Judge Peter. land then IL the
plaintiff was dissatisfied with the result
he could have contested 1t in the manner
provided by the charter Of Glen Echo"
which Is by an appeal to the circuit
court of the county.
AS to the alleged appropriation Of
money, the decision says, the evidence
clearly establishes that it was not even
proposed. much less adopted.
AS the purposes for which the proceed
ings were instituted were accomplished
by the temporary Injunction, the only
effect of the decision Is to place the
costs, which amount to about $500. Wit
kowski, or his bonding company, will
have these to pay.
Witkowski was represented in the
case by Attorneys Thomas Dawson and
Alexander Kilgour of Rockville and
the mayor and council by Attorney
John A. Garrett.
