WRIGHTS ASK FOR INJUNCTION

Want Court to Prohibit Aeroplane Flights by Glenn H. Curtiss. New York, Oct I.—The petition of the Wright brothers for a temporary restraining order to prevent Glenn H. Curtiss from making exhibition flights is sought by the Wrights for the purpose of hastening court action in their case against Curtiss. “I think this suit against Curtiss will be regarded as a test case,” Wilbur Wright said. “We want to get a decision in the matter as soon as possible—before too much damage has been done.” Two Passengers Carried In Aeroplane. Johannisthal, Germany, Oct. 1. —M. Rougier, with two passengers, flew 1.55 miles at a height of forty-five feet in an aeroplane. Orville Wright Up 700 Feet. Potsdam, Oct. 1. —Orville* Wright made a flight during which he estimates that he ascended about 700 feet.
