SeIfridee Was Delighted.
FATHER IN TEARS,
News of Accident Received Last Niaht
Leaves for Washinuton,

Out on peaceful Sugar Grove road,
which winds north from Greensboro
through a beautiful, rolling farm coun-
try, Bishop Milton Wright, father of
the now world famous Wright broth
ers, stood yesterday afternoon on the
steps of the little white United Breth-
rem meeting house, which nestles in a
grove of sugar trees clad in varied
colored autumnal dress Out in the
west across the harvest fields the sun
was slowly sinking, casting a golden
haze over the country.
Could this venerable, white-haired.
grey-eyed man, standing in the imdst
Of such a peaceful scene be the father
of two men who now occupy the CEN
ter of the worlds arena, he airing the
plaudits of all nations?
On first thought it did not seem
possible, but when he revealed his
true simplicity-his retiring, unpre-
tentious nature, this quiet rural set
ting appealed to one as his proper en-
vironment.
Gazing across Sugar Grove road to
the east, a far-away look in his clear
eyes, Bishop Wright remarked, "Or-
vile is now just about ready to make
a flight in his aeroplane 1 would
like to be there and see him Will /
go to Ft. Myer? No, not unless he is
injured"
Little did the venerable Bishop
know that about the time he was
speaking his son and his companion
were lying under the wreck OF the
great man-bird: orviIls suffering with
a broken thigh and three fractured
ribs, which his companion. Leuten-
ant Selfridge Of the Signal Corps, was
writhfng in his death struggles. Little

Indianapolis, Sept. 1s..-Ths belief
that Walter Ratliff has promised to
vote against county local option. has
disarranged the plans Of the managers
of the county local option fight Rat
lift has been counted among those
who would vote regular" The tenn
perance people now admit that they
can not count upon his vote. and 1t is
known that they are rather at sea for
this reason. 1t Is admitted by some
of them, that the vote was expected
to be SO close that Rathffs vote
against them would probably defeat
the bill.
Ratliff refuses to say what he will
do, although he was under consider
able pressure from party men and
temperance workers last night and
this morning. He said he had made
up his mind some time ago as to how
he would vote and has not changed his
mind.
'I do not think my friends would
like for me to say at this time. how
i Will vote, ne Sdiu toudy.
Plans Changed.
Because of Ratlifrs expected defec-
ton and the knowledge that last
nights meeting of the democrats was
I'm fact a hard and fast caucus In
which 1t was agreed to vote for ad-
journment after the appropriations
have been disposed OF, the county To-
cal option people are changing their
plans. They fear to trust the Ques-
tion to vote in its present form and
may change 1t to embody the Dual
county and township option" in the
hope of holding those democrats that
have been expected to vote with them.
At the democratic caucus. no effort
to bind the members of the party on
the liquor question was made. but the
recalcitrants agreed readily to help
along the program OF obtaining ad-
journment without vote on the ques-
tion. At least half dozen republi-
cans are considered sure Of joining
them.

EWING THE WINNER.
Democrats Defeated In Delaware Coun-
ty Elections by 272.

Muncie, Ind, Sept. 1S.-In a contest
in which party lines were badly brok-
en-, Delaware county Thursday voted
at special election to name state
representative, the struggle being prac-
tically between the liquor forces on
one side and the temperance men on
the other. Louis G.. Cowing, the can
didate on the Republican ticket, who
had the support of the anti-saloon peo-
pie is accredited with receiving an Of
fetal majority of 272 votes over Otto
Williams, the Democratic candidate.
In Center Township, in which Mum
Gle is situated, Williamson received a
total Of 1883 votes, while Cowing re-
ceived 2,620, a majority for William
son of 72s. In the townships outside
of Muncie, Cowing received a heavy
vote, with total of 2,400 against 1890
for Williamson, majority of 1,010 for
Cowing.
No such election was ever held in
Delaware county. Hundreds of Repub-
licans voted for Williamson, while a
lesser number of Democrats arrayed
themselves against the liquor forces.
The anti-saloon forces say they are
gratified over the showing. as it was
known Muncie has large number of
liberal voters.
The notorious precinct of the city,
notably the red light district went
heavily for Williamson. Here the vote
was 319 for Williamson against 130 for
Cowing.
Business in Muncie was practically
at a standstil1. Every available auto.
mobile and other conveyance in the
city was engaged. In every precinct
where the saloons prevail, William.
sons vote showed up strongest.

the information received last night
that the young man is in a sanitarium
at Battle Creek, Mich, where he is re-

weeks ago in a railroad wreck. Fen

would cause great distress among his

them of his i'll luck, and it was only

Muncie that he was located. The
Young man has been in the far west
for a number of years and had started
home early in August. In southern
Michigan he was in a railroad wreck
and his injuries were of such a nature
that hospital attention was necessary.
He was taken to Battle Creek and fear
full that his parents might be badly
frightened to receive word of his ac-

from Battle Creek received last night
by his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. l..

The aeroplane is a total wreck,
nothing remaining intact save the
planes that gave it buoyancy.
While the machine was encircling
the drill grounds a propeller blade
snapped off, and, hitting some other
part of the intricate mechanism, caus.
ed it to overturn in the air and fall
to the ground, enveloping the two oc'
cupants in the debris.
Soldiers and spectators ran across
the field to where the aeroplane had
fallen and assisted in lifting Mr.
Wright and Lieutenant Selfridge from

Wright was conscious at that time
