GO TO LAW OVER STABLE.
Piney Branch Citizens Contend I
Will Be a Public Nuisance.

The executive and special committees
of the Piney Branch Citizens Association
met jointly last night for the purpose OF
definitely deciding what action should be
taken in preventing the erection by W.
L. Gary at 1914 Decatur street Of sta.
BILE for business purposes.
There appeared to be no question among
the committee that stable Of the size
being built by Mr.. Gary would be pub
lie nuisance in the immediate vicinity in
which 1t is built.
At the meeting an offer was commune
Gated to the committee under which the
home of Gary might be purchased al
what was said to be good advance over
its cost. Upon motion put by l.. NJ. Toll
man, president of the association, the
offer was refused by unanimous vote
Ii was Furthermore resolved to continue
to fight the erection of the stable, and
several hundred dollars We're raised by
joint subscription for the purpose. Ii
was decided to employ legal counsel and
stop work on the stable by an Injunction
The case is expected to create a prece-
dent esta blishing that property values In
purely residence localities shall not be
deprecated by building business struc-
lures which property owners claim to be
a public nuisance.

HITS COMMERCE COURT
IN FREIGHT RATE WAR
Attorney to7 I. c. c. Files Brief in
Supreme Court in Behalf Of
Upholding Reduction.

As a preliminary to the final fight next
month for lower class rates on freight
from New Orleans to Alabama cities, So
licitor Farrell of the interstate commerce
commission today filed with the Supreme
Court a brief in behalf Of upholding the
order of the commission for reduced
rates.
The Commerce Court was attacked by
the attorney for setting aside the COM
missions order. Mr.. Farrell commended
that for years New Orleans had been dis
eliminated against by the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company.
Sees Death of Regulation.
I'm setting aside the order the Com.
merce Court. Mr.. Farrell declared. had
substituted its judgment of the evidence
for that of the commission. although tina
of the latter had been matured by an ex-
perience of twenty-five years. Such pro-
cecdings, he said. would mean the death
of rate regulation.
Mr.. Farrelrs brief did not refer to
Judge Archbald's correspondence with
the railroads attorney in the case. That
feature. however. forms one Of the
charges against Judge Archibald in the
impeach ment proceedings now before the
Senate.

OFFICIAL TEST LIKELY
Of WRIGHT MACHINES
Flights This Afternoon at Co..
Iege Park if the Weather
Permits.

Two types of Wright aeroplanes will
be tried out at College Park this after
noon, if the weather conditions are ia
vorable. They are the small high-speed
scouting machine and one of the weight
carriers. Orville Wright. who has been
here overseeing the preliminary arrange
ments. has returned to Dayton. Ohio. and
the machines will be demonstrated by
Viii. am kabitzke, one of the Wright
liers.
No official trials of the small machine
have been made. kabtiZke yesterday
tried an altitude flight with it. just to see
how the machine worked. The official re-
quirement is that it shall climb at the
rate of 600 feet minute for three min
utes. 1t did not quite do this, but the
aviator thinks it will do SO after a few
trials.
Weight Carrier Tested.
One of the big weight-carrying ma
chimes has been demonstrated. and there
is little doubt that the new one will meet
the government requirements.
The army aviators who saw the Cor
don Bennett race in Chicago are gener-
ally agreed that in its present state OF
development the practical army aero
plane cannot be expected to make any
such speed as the fast monoplane Of
Vedrines made in the International race.
This aeroplane, which made a speed of
1855 miles an hour, was a racing ma
chine, pure and simple. 1t was handy
enough in the air. but IL had to land at
a very gradual incline and required about
ground in which to stop after it touched
the ground.

Landing Specially Prepared.

The track on which the landings were
made was as level and well rolled as ii
was possible to have, and was such q
landing place as could not be expected
in rough and ready flying with an army
in the field. 1t is considered possible
that much higher speeds may be realized
in army machines than any now at
tempted. but it is not expected they will
approach the speed of the French racing
machines.
Hydro-a eroplane fights probably will
be continued at the new station at the
Washington barracks this afternoon. The
aviators are still hoping that Maj. Gen
Leonard Wood will make a flight in one
of the hydro-aeroplanes, and he has pro-
visionally agreed to do SO as soon as pos
sible.

the fact that the race is going to be
