Pulled Wrong Lever and His Fly
ing Machine Came to the
Earth.
ONE RUNNER BROKEN OFF
Mistake Result Of Changing the POSI-
tion Of Operntor--IIad TO Lnnd 10
Avoid Collision with Wires
Machine Responded We'll
to Steering Gcnr.

Washington, Sept 3.-Orvile Wright
made flight in his aeroplane at Fort
Myer, Va. this evening. While makins
the second circle Of the drill grounds.
NJ. Wright pulled the lever which con-
trolls the planes in the wrong direction
and he was compelled to descend in
order to avoid running into some wires.
The machine cncircled the grounds once
and was half way round the field again
when the mIshap occurred The
aeroplanc was in the air for one minute
and fifteen seconds.
Previous to the flight an hour was
consumed in testing the motor and ar
ranging details.
At 5:55 o'clock the aeroplane shot out
along the single track and reaching the
end continued to travel along the ground
on It's runners for about twenty feet.
when Mr.. Wright turned the forward
planes upward and the machine gradually
rose fr the ground. He directed il
toward the other end Of the field. whore
a graceful turn was made for the return
trip.
Turning directly over the starting
apparatus Mr.. Wright continued on
the second lap. Just as the machine
started to make the turn for the sec
ond return trip, it was seen to dart
down to earth in front of the tent.
There was no one at that end of tne
field and tho crowd ran pell NELL for
the aeroplane, cheering wildly The
general impression was that Mr..
Wright had descended purposely di
rectly in front Of the tent where the
aeronlano Ia housed,
II was found, though. that the for
ward part Of tho right runner had
been broken of in two places. Mr..
Wright was un!njured and calmly
told the crowd how the accident hap
pened.
II pulled the lever the wrong way"
he said, land the machine turned In
the direction of those wires and that
wood pile I therefore had to bring it
down to earth rather suddenly. The
mistake was due to the change We have
made in the position OF the operator
on the machine, with which l have
not become thoroughly familiar. The
damage could he repaired within n few
hours If we had the material here II
I had not made the mistake In turning
I would probaly have made several more
circles around the field"
Mr. Wright expressed his entire sat
isfaction with the machine, which was
built for the signal corps Of the army.
Throughout the short flight the aero
plane made numerous undulations,
coming very close to the ground at
times. but never rising higher than %
feet from the earth. Mr.. Wright said
the undulating movement was due TO
the fact that he paid little attention to
the small planes in front which con-
troll the ascent and descent of the
machine. Il was giving all my at
tentiou to making the curves he
said.
The inventor said ne was little
nervous because 1t was the first
flight in the new machine. but he de-
clarcd future flights will be easier,
He estimated to-day's speed at IS miles
an hour. covering a distance of about
three-uuarters of a mile. Numerous
aeronauts and scientists were present
at to-day's flight

lican national convention has confer
red upon me In the nomination which
you formally tender. accept it with
full appreciation OF the responsible

Gentlemen, the strength OF the re-
publican cause in the campaign at
hand is the faith that we represent
policies essential to the reform of
known abuses, to the continuance of
liberty and true prosperity, and that
we are determined, as our platform
unequivocally declares, to maintain
them and carry them on.
For more than 10 years this coun-
try has passed through an epoch of
material development for beyond any
that ever occurred in the world be-
fore. In its course certain evils
crept in. Some prominent and infiu-
entail members of the community
spurred by financial success and in
their hurry for greater wealth, be-
came unmindful of the common rules
of business honesty and fidelity and
of the limitations imposed by law
upon their action. This became
known
The revelations of the breaches
of trust, the disclosures as to rebates
and discrimination by railways, the
accommodating evidence of the viola
ton of the antitrust law by number
of corporations, the overissue OF
stocks and bonds on interstate rail-
ways for unlawful enriching of d.
rectors and for the purpose of con-
centrating control OF railways in one
management, all quickened the con-
science of the people and brought q
moral awakening among them that

MAsoNs MAY BUILD TEMPLE.
Masonic Bodies Met Last Night and
Selected Temporary Quarters.


The Masonic bodies held meeting
last evening at the Blackwell pavil-
ion and steps were taken looking TO
the selection Of a hall for the meet
ing place of the various orders.
A number of halls were discussed.
and it was finally decided to lease
the Monahan hall over the Norquist
department store for the period of a
year. 1t was also decided to extend
an invitation to the Odd Fellows and
Knights Of Pythias to join with the
order in the use Of the hall as a meet
ing place.
The matter Of constructing a
Masonic temple was discussed at
length. and met favorably with all.
An association for this purpose,
known as the Masonic Temple asso-
citation, has been in existence for
some time and grounds for the temple
is owned by 1t on the corner OF Sixth
and Sherman streets. The associa-
ton is capitalized at $25, 900, and its
directors for the first year are II. II.
Hubbard, r. T Morgan, o. e. Barr.
F. L. Burgan and Geo. Williams. The
plans of the building have not been
discussed to any extent, further than
1t would be of brick, two stories in
height with a basement, and OF the
probable value of $4,000. A COM
mittee has been appointed to take
charge OF the matter and directed to
make a report to the lodge concern
ing 1t.
