NO SECRECY ABOUT TRIALS
PLANS FOR THE FLIGHTS OF
THE WRIGHT AERoPLANE,
Belated Material Of Machine Located
in the Freight Yards-Like
a Big Box Kite.

Preparations have been made to receive
the Wright flying machine at Fort Myer
this afternoon. The material which was
sent by freight from Dayton, Ohio. was
located on the railroad after some trouble
and was put on the wagons to be hauled
to the fort this morning. c. Taylor. the
mechanic OF Wright brothers, was At the
balloon tent yesterday afternoon and an
nounced that he would secure lodgings in
the neighborhood Of the fort so as to be
close to the scene Of his work.
Taylor said that there would be no
secrecy either about the aeroplanes or
the trials once the material was on the
ground. The plane is to be housed in
the balloon tent and in all probability
will be assembled there, although the big
balloon house is at the disposal Of the
wrights in case they choose to work
there.
Mr.. Wright will bring his own track
with him from which to start the
machine. The plane Is said to look like a
big box kite with a rudder In front and a
tail behind. 1t is about forty feet in
spread Of the wings and carries a forty
horsepower engine.
The only criticism that Mr.. Taylor had
to make Of the arrangements was the
small size Of the drill grounds. Only a
portion Of this was roped OF for the
trials of the Baldwin balloon and the
signal service promised to have the roped
interior enlarged for the aeroplane trials.

APPEAL TO RANK AND FILE.
Republicans to Send Out Requests to
Carefully Selected Lists.

CHICAGO. August 20.-An appeal to the
rank and file Of the republican party for
aid in financing the national campaign
was sent throughout the western states
Wednesday by Fred w. Upham, assistant
treasurer Of the national committee In
order to expedite the work lists of men
from whom subscriptions are expected
have been prepared. Mr.. Upham In his
appeal says:
Both the New York and Chicago head
quarters Of the republican national COM
mittee have been opened and the work Of
the campaign is well advanced. The cleo
ton Of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Sherman is es-
sential to the welfare of this country. and
perfect organization is necessary to elect
them. To secure perfect organization
the national committee must be literally
supplied with funds. Congress recently
enacted statute making 1t unlawful to
solicit money for political purposes from
corporations.
IAN the funds, therefore, for the cam
paign must be supplied by individuals.
You are requested to bring this matter to
the attention of your business associates
and ask each to send a check. Please be
as liberal as possible. as 1t will take a
large amount of money to pay the ex-
penses Of Organization. the postage, print
ing, speaking bureaus and various details
that are absolutely necessary to success"
Responses to the appeal are expected
to be received from every western state
within a week or two.
