Mr.. DOty Tells of Dangers For

ing Fighting.

The state Department has received
from Consul Doty. at Tabriz, a TepOTr
on the disturbances there early in AU-
gust. coincident with uprisings against
the Shah EEr Doty speaks Of the dam
ger which ne and certain American
missionaries were forced to undergo
from stray bullets. and states that on
August 2 the hagstah over the con-
salute was shot down by a piece of
shell
Owing to the fact that it was lmpos-
sible TO determine which of the parties
IS accountable, no protest was made,
although some flying pieces of shell, ac-
cording TO Mr.. Dotys struck very close
10 himself at the consulate on August
C. A shell also burst above the Turkish
consulate, which nearly killed a servant

A "GyrOcOpter."
While Air. Ycuug dil not care 20 enter
into am explanation OF the operation OF
his machine-whicL doesn't need 20 be
called that. because he has named it

More than this, Mr. Young did not

Not many weeks ago he had seriously
considered the using of an automobile

copter. the auto started at a good speed,
and the sky ship would be lifted into
the air just az a running boy lifts a
kite in space.
Recently, however, Mr.. Young has
about decided that he prefers a method
of starting similar IN most ways to that
used by OrviIle Wright-Using a weight,
a derrick. and the force of gravity.
