Photographers Knocked Flat by Breeze
From Propellers When Far,nan IA
Tests Motor.

NeW 1OTk, aug. Z.-HlSlng from the
ground like giant bird and darting
through the air at express train
speed, Henri Farman's aeroplane, the
heavier-than-air flying machine he
brought here from France to demon
strate his ability to fly, made its in
itial fight in this country late yester-
day afternoon at Brighton Beach. 1t
rose from an especially prepared run.
way at the will Of the inventor and,
after attaining a height Of twenty-five
feet, flew straight ahead on a direct
line, finally alighting with exquisite
grace when the noted air pilot dimin-
ished the motive power.
Farman Is Rugged.
During the brief space of time in
which the aeroplane was Swimming
over the center field of the race
track, the few hundred spectators,
most Of whom were friends of the in.
ventor or rival aviators, watched the
flight with breathless interest. The
instant the trim looking machine land
ed cheers rent the air-cheers far
more enthusiastic and vociferous than
those of race track crowd. Farman
was surrounded and literally Rugged
by the jupilant aeronauts Members
of the Aero Club Of America, under
whose auspices Farman will conduct
his public flights at Brighton Beach,
wanted to carry the successful in
ofP &1n AL hot ct~
Photographers Toppled Over.
Newspaper photographers crowded
around the aernoaut to get pictures
of the machine as it was about to
make its first flight in America, and it
was at this moment that Farman de-
cided to make another test of the mo-
tor before flying. He instructed his
French mechanics in their native
tongue to hold fast to the aeropane
while he turned on the power. In
stantly the propeller began to revolve
at the rate of 1,400 revolutions to the
minute and a breeze equal to small
cyclone was created. The photogra-
pliers were knocked fiat and plastered
to the ground until the power was
turned off. So great was the violence
of the breeze that several willow trees
were bent double. Farman laughingly
said he guessed the machinery was
working all right.
Shoots Into the Air Like Magic. =
Then, when the crowd had been
waved back, he gave the order, LET
co." and away sped the aeroplane
over the plank roadway. 1t ran swift
ly along on it's wheel for 24O yards
and then Farman turned a lever
which sent it into the air like magic,
and away it flew. The propeller made
a whirring noise as it turned 800
times to the minute. Only $50 yards
were covered in the air in this fight,
but few minutes later Farman made
another try and travelled .760 yards in
the air. He could have gone much
further he said, but feared striking a
pile of lumber.

Mr.. Sands waa, driving his fifty
horsepower car along at q terrific
clip, in a desire to reach the chateau.
where Mrs. Sands and her infant
daughter were staying. He had al.
ways been known as a reckless
driver, and as he had been delayed
at railroad crossings, he opened the
throttle wide as he approached the
chateau grounds.
Wrecked Car Takes Fire.
Almost Immediately tire burst
and the machine crashed into a. tree,
turning turtle and burying Mr.. Sands
under the forward part and pinning
the chauffeur, Picktns, to the ground.
An explosion followed and in a mo.
'ment the car was in flames. srs
Peasants working in the adjoinins
fields were the only witnesses to the
accident. They rushed to the rescue,
tut fearing further explosion Of
the gasoline tank and deferred by the
sweep Of the flames, they stood idly
by, not knowing how to give assist

Finally they managed to raise the
rear of the car and release the chauf-
feur, 10th Of whose feet had been held
tight, and "a little later after beating
down the fire, they dragged out the
torn, bleeding and burned body OF
Sands.
Help soon arrived from the chateau,
which is in the center of Mr. Wander.
bits great breeding farm. The in.
jured men were carried to the house,
where it was found that Sands was
beyond hope of recovery but that the
chauffeur was not seriously injured.
Pitiful Human Wreck.
A doctor summoned from Poissy ar.
rived soon afterward, but Mr.. Sands
was beyond mortal aid. Never had
he seen, the doctor said, such a pitt.
full human wreck. The stump of a leg
had been burned to a, crisp, the face
and body were black and scared with
flames. In addition to terrible inter.
nal injuries, Mr.. Sands right arm and
shoulder were broken. The physician
could only try to alleviate his suffer.
ings with opiates. Several times the
man regained consciousness and cried
out in agony, his last words being
cry for water.
The chauffeur says that the car was
travelling at the rate of about seventy.
five miles an hour when the accident
happened.

Street demonstrations at CONSTANT
nople have now practically ceased, but
public Indignation is growing at the
delay in removing the obnoxious min
listers and government officials. Many
reports are current of the dismissal
and the flight of various officials, but
it is impossible to ascertain the de.
tails.
A caravan that has arrived at
Ihassa from Leh, in the valley of the
Indus, brings report that Sven He
din, the Swedish explorer, is in good
health and that his caravan is in

from Sven Hedin gave rise to anxiety
with regard to his safety, which will
be set at rest by the Lhassa report.
An extraordinary suicide is report
ed from Assling, near Munich. A b.
hemian cartwright went to bed with
two small mortars which he had pre-
viously loaded with powder, and then.
igniting the fuses, blew himself to
pieces. He had evidently placed his
head over the mouth of one of the
mortars, as it was torn away from his
body and shattered into a thousand
fragments.
