AIRSHlP WAS INJURED
While Wilbur Wright Was Bringing
the AeropIane to the Ground an Ae-
eident Occurred and the Airship
Was Slightly Injured Was in the
Air Eight Minutes and a Hah.

Lemans, France. Aug. 13.-The
Wright aeroplane suffered an acci-
dent this morning which will require
several days and possibly a week to
repair. After two superb flights, Will
bur Wright essayed a new and dar.
ing method of decent. He stopped the
motor at a height of seventy-five feet
and tried to come to the earth By
a gradually descending glide. His cal
culations were not absolutely cor
rect and the left wing of the aero
plane came in contact with the
ground, tearing the frame of the ma
chine. Wright was uninjured.
Wright said he did not regard the
accident as serious. and explained
that it was only incidental to gaining
experience to acquire complete mas
terry of aerial navigation. Wrightis
flight in the morning eehpsed all his
former efforts. He made complete
turns, flew over the tops of the trees,
was in the air eight minutes and 35
seconds. He encountered a 15-mile
breeze, but in spite Of this he dis
played greater facility in maneuver-
ing than he did in a dead calm.
Yesterdays Flight.
Lemans, France, Aug. 12.-W1lbur
Wright made a flight with his aero
plane here this morning, circling the
field five times and remaining in the
air six minutes and Sc seconds. The
flight was undulating throughout,
with the highest level of 60 feet.

Chicago, Aug 13.-The Democratic
national campaign fund of 1908 will
be raised through appeals made to
individual contributors. Each state,
under the direction of its national
committeeman or financial represent
ative designated for the purpose, will
determine it's own method of raising
money. The general plan became
known today on the arrival of Chair
man Mack from Lincoln, and it is
understood to have the entire approx
al of Mr.. Bryan. The financial com
and one million dollars will be re-
quired to finance the legitimate exs
penses of the coming presidential
struggle. While no public solicita-
tions have as yet been made by the
national committee, contributions
from various sources in no small am
cunt are being received daily at the
Chicago headquarters. Chairman
Mack took up the work of organizing
speakers here today.
Farmers Call on Bryan.
Fairview, Neb.. Aug. 13.-Several
hundred farmers from Otoe county,
Nebraska. headed by P. H. Hanks,
who came to Lincoln to attend the
notification ceremonies, went to
Fairview today and presented Mr..
Bryan with big Stick" gourd, and
also handed him a campaign contri-
button of fifty dollars subscribed by
fifty of their number. In accepting
the gourd and contributions Mr..
Bryan assured the visitors that if
elected to the presidency the big
Stick" would not be in evidence, be-
lieving as he did that it was easier
to lead the people through their love
than control them by fear.
Speaking of the contribution made
by the farmers. Mr.. Bryan said: EIt
is significant that you not only pay
your own way to attend the notifica-
ton, but in addition make this contri-
button to the Democratic campaign
fund. One of the chief reasons for
the delay Of reform has been that a
few great corporations have been sup
plying the Republican party with it's
campaign fund and thereby controll-
ing its policy after election Our
campaign fund is coming from the
people, and the people will control
the administration in case of Demo
cratic victory. 1t marks the beginnin g
of a new era in politics, an era in
which the government will really be-
long to the people and be administer
ed by the people for their protection
and for the advancement of the pub.

CHANUTE OPPOSES PLAN.
Father of AUiation" Says There Is
No Need to Bring Delagrangc Here.

Octave Chanute OF Chicago. 'the father of avia-
tion. expressed himself last night at the Hotel
Manhattan as not at all in sympathy with the
plan to bring Leon Delssranse, the foreign aviator
10 this country In August. Mr.. Chanute
quietly into town on matters not associated with
seronautcs. and will return to Chicago to-day.
Practically all inventors in this country and abroad
have closely copied his inventions, according to
Charles NJ. Manly consulting engineer for the Aero
Club Of America, who spent last evening with Mr..
Chanute at the Hotel Manhattan
THE Wright brothers machine Is the Chanute
machine; the Farman machine is the Chanute
chine. and SO is the Delagranse machine" said Mr.
Manly. Mr.. Chanute published plans In 1897 of
the apparatus which these men are now using and
tnen asked that any one profit by them who would.
Slight additions have been made by the several
avfators who are attracting the attention of
the world, but the truth is that Mr.. Chanute gave
tnem the great idea. and they have never. none
of them. given to him the credit that is his due
MI Chanute said he opposed to bringing
man from abroad to make exhibitions in this
country, because it was not necessary as the
United States had aviators capable of denonstrat-
ing as much with aeroplane as any foreigner
could, and. he said, such action would place the
United States in wrong light it's position
in aeronaudc progress To his mind the Wright
brothers led the world
Apparently the chief use for flying machines
will be in sport he said. Their advantage will
be that Of cheapness the cost need not exceed
5000; also the superiority of their speed. which is
now forty miles hour, and presently will be
fifty or more. For war purposes flying machines
will serve almost wholly for scouting and will be
very efficient. For this of three men seems
to be required in action: to the motor
and to steer one TO make continuous observations
and to signal the results. either by wireless
telegraph by flags.
Upon the whole. the usefulness Of aerial craft
Will be inferior to that heretofore presaged by
lima ginative persons. They will not remodel civi-
modify architecture. They will serve sport
and in war; make many parts of the globe more
accessible. and abridgs distance on special jour
neys They may bring such developments into war
as to render 1t far less frequent and they may
develop such new uses Of their own as to make
the world better and happier

SEEKS ORDER AGAINST S. P. c. A.
Bingham Asks Court to Compel 1t to Care
for Stray Horses.

Assistant Corporation Counsel Farley, in behalf
of Police Commissioner Bingham, made applica-
ton yesterday before Justice Blanchard in the
Supreme Court. TO compel the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals to take care of all
abandoned. stray homeless animals The so
ciety admits its liability look after stray dogs
and cats but the action is principally taken to
pei 1t to look after horses.
The case is a test one, and Commissioner Bing-
ham, in his petition for the writ, sets forth a
specific case in which the society refused to ac-
cept horse sent to il by the police authorities.
Counsel for the society contended that if the mo-
ton granted it would compel the organization
become the public pound master OF the city,
which, he said. never intended by any leg1sla-
ton under which il has the power 10 act He
contended that the society was under obligation
legally TO care for any animals other than cats
and dogs.
After hearing both sides Justice Blanchard took

WHY MEAT IS HIGH.
Dealers Sag Right Kind of Cattle
Are Not Coming Here.

What is a roast in June7 That has
the question for the last thirty days not as
matter of underdone cookery, but as pertaining to
the scarcity of meat because of high prices. And
the butchers charge the trouble against the fnan-
ciai furry. Since all sorts of beef, from chuck
steak to porterhouse, have gone up about four
cents in three months, Tribune reporter wan
dered through the slaughter house belt OF Man
haitian Island yesterday trying to find out about it.
The heads of the big firms here had the Shrink
ing wood violet beaten for nnodesty, but strict
promise that they wouldn't be quoted they con-
sented to tell just why beef is such a luxury at
present.
1.-THE farmers were scared out OF their cowhide
boots by the panic last fall" said who
represents large Western interests here They
didn't want to spend money IN buying grain for
what we call finished cattle they sold off their
fattening stock at low prices That's the reason
we're not getting the granted stock that ought
70 be coming into market this month. They Ge
been killed and eaten. We've got to wait another
year before we get the regular. properly fattened
beeves The grass-fed cattle are coming in slowly.
too. and outside of the cheapest markets people
want granted stock.
There's shortage in cattle" said another rep
resentative of the stockyards. "I don't pretend to
know what caused it, but aren't getting the
sort of cattle we should get this time of year.
Therefore we have TO pay about a cent more a
mound on the hoof for first class cattle. That
means several cents more pound when the meat
is retsiled. 1 don't why people are worrying
about it, because they might just as well cut down
their meat diet now, with the knowledge that
when the cold weather comes they can get beef
as cheap as in other years. There is Just a little
gan in the supply but by September the young
cattle will be fit for killing"

There is a sentiment that the height Of buildings

will be established cannot be predicted but there
has been considerable discussion of the suggestion
of Charles r. Lamb, the architect, that for tall
buildings each successive story above the first
