ORVILLE WRIGHT CHEERED
BY BROTHERS FEAT
Aerial Experiment Association tc
Visit Him Today and Tell
of Plans.

Orville Wright was told yesterday
evening that his brother Wilbur had
broken the worlds record for long
flight, made by himself at Fort Myer
He smiled contentedly and said:
I'm so glad. 1 knew he could do it."
There is no truth In the report that
Wright was thrown into a fever and
passed a bad day yesterday as the re-
suit Of being told of Lieut.. Selfridges
death. His condition is regarded as'quite
favorable.
While there has been no particular an
nouncement on the subject made to him,
he has known for days that Lieut.. Sell
fridge is dead. This has been one of
his chief causes of sorrow.
He is anxious to get we'll and to get
back to his demonstration Of flight again.
He knows, however, that the worlds
records are safe in the hands of his
brother. The only regret he has ex-
pressed is about the fatal end of his
companion if flight, Lieut.. Selfridge.
Members of the Aerial Experiment AS
ISOLATION will call at the post hospital
at Fort Myer today, and will be allowed
to see the injured man if his condition
permits
All the members of the association are
looking forward eagerly to continuing

be tried out in about two weeks. 1t is al
most a duplicate of the June Bug, in
which Mr.. Curtiss has already flown more
than two miles at stretch and described
a figure eight in the air. 1t has some i'm
prOvements over the June Bug. The ma
chine is known as the Silver Dart.
The first of the tetrahedral machines
to have a motor installed is now about
completed and will be shipped to Badeck
at once 1t will be tried out first as
kite with motor and operator on board.
After 1t Is in air and travelling. it will
be cut loose from the power boat that will
tow 1t over the lake and will be allowed
to run under its own power.
DR.. Bell has been slow and careful
about trusting a man on the machine. AS
one of his associates said, laughingly:
You see, the doctor Is a Scotchman and
a scientist. That is a fatal combination
for speed. But the tetrahedral has been
scientifically worked out. There is little
danger to the operator attending its first
trial"
One point that DR.. Bell has made re-
garding the tetrahedral machine is that
it is the slowest flying machine that has
ever been built. 1t will sustain itself in
the air at speed of fifteen miles an hour,
while the slowest of the Wright machines
will not stay up at all under tWenty-slx
miles.
1t is thought that this slow speed will
make the machine much easier to control
and steadier in flight.

HERRING DISCUSSES ACCIDENT
Fort Myer Ground Too Small fol
Flight With Two Men.

NEW YORK, September pa. NJ
Herring. who Is scheduled to begin the
trials of his government aeroplane. AT
Fort Myer October IA, denied emphat-
ically yesterday that he had any intention
of withdrawing from the contest or post
poning the test longer than is necessary
Since the accident to Orville Wrights
machine rumors have been circulated
both here and in Washington that Herring
had decided not to go to Fort Myer. The
reason assigned for this was that he was
about to close negotiations either with
European government or syndicate for
the sale OF his aeroplane patents, and
that the conditions of this sale were that
his aeroplane should not be revealed to
the government officials at Fort Myef.
Herring smiled when this lumor was re-
peated 10 HIM.
II had heard something of that Sort"
he said and l wish it were true, but it
is not. l shall keep my contract with the
government. Ii | were Offered hive mil
lions for my machine tomorrow it would
make no difference about the government
contract.
Herring could not say positively that
he would be ready by October Ii, but
stated that he would make every possible
effort to do SO. He did not deny mat ne
gotiations were under way for the pur-
chase Of his aerCplane, but insisted that
the transactions could not. in any event.
interfere with his Obligations to The gov
eminent.
Concerning the accident at Fort Myer,
in which Lieut.. Thomas E. Selfridge was
killed and Orville Wright injured lie said
he considered it a grave mistake to at
tempt to operate the machine with pas
seneer at the Fort Myer grounds.
THE space is entirely. too SMALL he
said, land such sharp turns have to be
made that accidents are likely to occur
with a machine like the Wrights, no mat
ter how skillful or careful the operator
may be. Had the trials been made on the
open prairie, where there is ample room
to make wide turn, the sad accident
probably never would have occurred"
ITO meet the government tests" he
said, lit is necessary to carry d passenger
and teach him to operate the machine,
but that should never be done on the
cramped grounds at Fort Myer. That
is like taking a man out into the middle
of the ocean to teach him to row a boat
instead of giving him his first lessons on
still water; or like giving a person his
first lessons in an automC bile by running
along the edge of a precipice.'

otherwise there is no reason why l should
not have stopped up for another hour dur

Il was much surprised he said, at
the facility with which Mr.. Wright flies.
l had imagined 1t much more difficult.
The absolute steadiness of the machine
In the air is remarkable. One has
sense of perfect security in watching the
flight.
The flight is a complete answer to the
criticisms which have been made on the
Wright brothers invention. l consider II
has been amply shown that the accident TO
Mr.. Orville Wright was purely material
one, and in no way attributable to any
defect in the design.
Il shall be much surprised If the Amer
lean people do not come forward with a
subscription to purchase the Wright ma
chine, just as the public in Germany came
to the assistance of Count Won Zeppelin.
The Wrights are worthy, and since have
seen the machine and the marvellous
flight this evening 1 am more than ever
persuaded that such display of public
spirit would be most timely.
Mr.. Lewis D. Dozier, president of the
Aero Club of ST. Louis, told me that he
had travelled far to see Mr.. Wright fly
and had been more than recompensed for
the journey.
Automobile of the Air"
This is an automobile of the air." he
exclaimed THE problem seems solved,
and If Mr.. Wright can travel in the wind
as he has done tonight. then the time is
not far off when aerial travel will be a
simple thing
WRIGHT ic caused copSidera bile ANNOYANCE
by the constant repetition in the papers
that he does not intend to take passengers
with him.
He has not changed his views since the
accident in any way, and, moreover, in Or
der to carry out his contract he is obliged
to train three men at least to drive the
apparatus. In order to do this he must
necessarily take the pupils with him.
