Louis J. Morowitz, president OF the
Thompson -Starrett Company, through

Joining the newer structure replaced
by a twelve story commercial building
more than four years ago. Ii Is
planned to put up sixteen story lott
building with stores. With the cost
of the land an outlay of more than
S5.000.000 will be represented.
The plans for the proposed structure
have been prepared by II. Craig Sever

II was said last evening that Mr
Horowitz will turn over the property in

Heinrich Pilots New Model,
Which viii Be Submit

a Successful Test Flight
at Hampstead.
By GORDON BRUCE.

Fifty persons-a mere handful, as
crowds go-witnessed yesterday an
aeropiane fight that marked the be-
ginning of new epoch in American
aeronautics. Flying high above Hemp
stead Plains aviation field, Albert S.
Heinrich gave a satisfying demonstra-
tion of the first armored military aero
plane to be completed for submission
to the United States government.
The machine is the last word in fight
ing aircraft, as far as this country is
concerned, and it is doubtful if any
machines in use abroad are Of better
construction or capable of more et-
fective work. The made in |. 5. A"

American aerOnautic7l activity must
cease now that the upply OF foreign
motors has Deen cut oil, could not have
been present.
The young woman of The Tribune
staff who accompanied Mr.. Heinrich
on his trial hlght-which, by the way.
was her first showed no hesitation in
climbing aboard. One look at the grim
machine, in its war paint of gray, was
enou~h to inspire confidence.
Most Of the good points of the vari-
Gus first class military machines of
foreign countries have been combined
in the Heinrich craft. II has a spread
of 35 feet IN the upper surface and of
IS feet in the lower plane. The
fusilage, or body, is "a feet over all.
The 1l0-horsepower motor. as well as
the compartments occupied by the
aviators, are protected by armor plate.
High on the forward end of the
fusilage, just behind the tractor blade,
will be mounted a rapid-fire machine
gun. Modern instruments have made
i, possible to time the firing of such
gun so that the shots will pass through
the circle described by the blades with
out touching them, even though they

or left. and thus cover a wide terri
tory.
Although the speed range has not
been accurately determined as yet, 1t is
safe to say that the machine can fly al
any speed from fortyiOur to eighty
miles an hour. The government requires
gliding rate Of six feet to every foot
Of descent The Heinrich machine mora
than fulfils that condition and can glide
ea4dy at thr rate Of eight feet TO one

San Diego, Cal, and demonstrated for
the government experts.
Upon those who had watched Orville
Wright fly his crude machine at Fort

Curtis cautiously Gu, circles in his
1msy craft at Mineola in the old days

profound impression. Six years ago the

ground in force yesterday. When the

MUTINY

Jealousy Over Promotion
Starts Trouble-Six Off
GERS Among Dead.

London, Feb. 23.-More than thirty
five persons were killed at Singapore
in a mutiny of part of the 9th Light
Infantry and the riots that followed,
according 20 an announcement made
tonight by the Colonial Office. Among
them were six officers and fifteen men
of the native forces and fourteen resi-
dents of Singapore, one a woman. The
announcement adds that some Of the
rioters were killed and that a large
number surrendered or were captured.
The official bulletin, issued earlier
BY the Bureau of information, placed
the total of lives lost at twenty-five.
eight those Of officers. The text Of this
announcement follows:
"News has been received from Singa-
pore that owing to some Jealousy and
Dissatisfaction concerning recent pro-
motions a portion Of the 9th Light In
fantry refused to obey orders. This
caused a serious riot, which the local
and neighboring forces, with detach-
ment Of the 36th Sikhs, assisted the
authorities in quelling.
Assistance was rendered also BY
landing parties from British and allied
ships. ,
The disturbance was accompanied
by a regrettable loss of life. Eight Of
ficers were among the total of twenty
FIVE persons killed. while others were
wounded.
"All is now quiet in Singapore and
there has been no destruction Of prop
erty."
A dispatch from Toxic, dated Febru-
airy 10. gave certain details OF mutiny
of Hindu soldiers at Singapore which
would appear to be the same disorder as
is referred 10 in the foregoing dispatch
from London. The Toxic message said
that eleven English men and women
were killed in the fighting and some
japanese wounded before the mutiny
was quelled. Marines were landed from
japanese and French Narships at
Singapore to put down the trouble. The
mutineers numbered 500 men, and half
Of them were said to have surrcpdered.
