HERRING TO DELIVER AIRSnIP
HAS ENGAGEMENT WITH ARMY
BOARD TODAY.
Four O'Clock Is Hour Set-No In
timation OF His Desires Regard
ing Test Of Aeroplane.

10 omcially inspect the Herring aero
plane and 10 accept delivery of the ma
chine the airship board of the War De-
pariment will assemble at Fort Myer at
O'Clock this afternoon
With his machine in a trunk Herring
arrived yesterday. He had a conference
with Maj. Squire and Lieut.. Lahm at the
War Department yesterday afternoon
Then ne went 70 Fort Myer, where he
took out of the trunk some parts OF his
machine and then put them back.
He did not want even the enlisted men
of the Signal Corps to see the machine.
He warned them back from the mystic
rious trunk when they We're sent to help
him unpack.
Then he fitted away into the night So
far as the signal service can say his
whereabouts today are not known
Herring is required under the contract
to make the technical delivery Of the ma
liberty to go anywhere for his month Of
unofficial trials If he SO desires
He has not intimated yet what he wants
to do. 1t Is po sibie he may take the
whole machine away with him and dis
appear from human ken for the next
thirty days
The War Department is ready to furnish
him the grounds at Fort Myer to expert
ment on and house to cover his machine
just AS was done In the case Of Capt
Baldwin and Orville Wright. but the in
ventor Will not be under the necessity or
accepting these courtesies if he does not
choose.
The War Department Is anxious not to
throw the least obstacle In the INVENTOR
way. II has twice granted him extern
sions of time at his own request. Pos
sibly. with the sanction of the Secretary
OF War. II might change the place OF the
official fights, though this is not likely.
Whatever is done at the fort will be III
the open, though Herring's objections TO
permitting the machine to he PHOTO
Sraphed probably will be acquiesced IN.
Herring claims that such pictures would
ieopardize the grant OF foreign patents
now pending.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1908-08-06

liant young Tennessean, Maj. E. Z.
Wright, won the applause of a state
wide audience by making an excellent
"keynote" speech as temporary chair
man of the democratic state convention.
Maj. Wright, son of Luke Wright, who
recently stepped into the shoes of Sec
retary Taft, is young man of excellent
antecedents, who inherits vim and
pluck and good mental fiber from both
the paternal and maternal sides of his
house. He doubtless has a good future
in politics, or in other activities in
which he may engage his talents.
Probably nothing was ever farther
from the thoughts of Raphael Semmes,
the gallant Confederate pirate" who
as commander of the Sumter and later
of the Alabama was a terror of the deep
to merchantmen flying the Stars and
Stripes in the sixties, than that grand
son of his should be the son of the sec.
retary of war of the United States.

ever whirling wheel of change!"-Lou-

BROWNLOW FACTION

lowers Easy Boss"

Chattanooga, Tenn. Aug. 3.-Repub-
licans who have built up hopes that the
Brownlow influence will not be exerted
favorably to the Chattanooga conven.
tion August 10 are doomed to disap-
pointment, according to the present
indications. Not only will the old time
Brownlow organization be represented
IN the convention, but word has been
received in this city that indicates rep
resentation from every county of the
First district.
1t was autograph authority upon
which reporter was assured that the
attendance from upper East Tennessee
would be very large at the convention.
The old time names, familiar in state
republican conventions for a genera
tion, will be on the lists of accredited
delegates. Positive assurance is given
that every county in the First district
will be represented, not by proxies, but
by the attendance of full delegations.
The Second district is promising a
like turnout of republicans. The Houk-
Austin combination is working in every
county in the district, and promise of
hundreds of delegates and visitors to
the convention is held out. Rhea coun-
ty promises no less than $50 people at
the convention of the 10. Indications
from all sources are that the auditorium
will be that day taxed by one of the
largest crowds in its history.
Nobody is being talked of for a nom.
inee but Asbury Wright 1t is proving
bit puzzling to the leaders that he
will not definitely state his purpose as
to accepting the nomination, but this
in no way seems to interfere with the
enthusiasm of his supporters.
