NEW AEROPLANE FAILS
IN ITS CLIMBING TESTS
0rviIIe Wright May Return
Here and Alter
Machine.

AL. WEIGH, the Wright aviator, made
his third attempt to comply with the
government altitude requirement for the
new flying machine at College Park this
morning. The altitude test demanded by
the War Department Is climb of 1900
feet in ten minutes carrying a load of
$50 pounds. The official trials were COM
menced last evening. The machine had
no difficulty in meeting the speed require
ment. making 53.S miles an hour, though
only forty-five miles under full load was
required 1t was found during this test
that the fuel consumption was a trifle
over six gallons of gasoline an hour.
1t was realized that the climbing test
would be the hardest one to meet. Lieut..
Leighton Hazlehurst was the passenger
and there was an excess Of six pounds
over the weight required Of the machine.
The weather conditions were apparently
good, but near the ground the air was
rough. After an altitude Of 500 feet had
been reached the flying was better. The
machine made a total of 1,5OO feet in
eleven minutes. This was not enough.
and another trial was made later. cover
ing only 1,15O feet in ten minutes.
This morning a third trial was made.
and the aeroplane mounted 1910 feet in
ten minutes 1t is likely another trial
will be made this afternoon. If the ma
chine still refuses the climb it is likely
that Orville Wright will return here from
Dayton and make some changes. Will
bur Wright has been ill with typhoid
fever. and for this reason Orville did not
remain here last week. It was reported
from Dayton yesterday that Wilbur is
making satisfactory progress toward re-
covery.

ISOLATION UphoIds Board
of Education.

Vigorously opposing any change in the
present school system in the District OF
Columbia and upholding the present
board of education and it's methods OF
conducting the school affairs in the Dis
trict, the Congress Heights Citizens As
ISOLATION at it's May meeting last evening
went on record as disappearing the trans
fer of the school system to the Commits
sioners. Julian Marceron. secretary OF
the association, offered the resolution for
consideration. and said:
IF the Commissioners would use as
much economy in the administration OF
their affairs as the board of education
has done and is doing there would be no
need of these extra taxes that We are
compelled to pay from time to time to
make up deficiencies.
II am afraid that If the Commissioners
were In charge of the school system
before many months a special tax would
be levied to make up a shortage. and
therefore 1 disapprove any change"
Praise for the Board.
In addition to the passage of this reso-
luton words of praise were spoken for
the work accomplished by Capt. ]. F.
Oyster, president OF the board, and his
associates, and the opinion was expressed
that the school system in the District
would compare favorably with that of any
community in the country.

form water rates in the District received
the Endorsement of the association, and
efforts will be made to have 1t passed. 1t

tiers should be provided in the suburban

ton of the method of taxation in the Dis
