ACCIDENT MARS
AIRSHIP TEST
OF A WIRE sPOILS
THE SPEED TRIAL OF BALD
WINS MACHINE.

WASHINGTON, August 12-Captain
Thomas S. Baldwin attempted the first
official speed trial of his militory dirig-
ible balloon before the Army board at
Fort Myer today. When within a
mile of the finishing line a secondary
wire connecting the coil of the engine
with the commutator broke and the
motor stopped. The airship was
brought down in a cornheld and after
Curtis repaired the motor the flight
was continued. The accident pre-
vented any possibility of making the
speed required by the contract, but
Captain Baldwin has two more trials
in which to demonstrate it's speed.
After the accident Curtis ran the
engines with the three remaining cyl
inders, and endeavored to repair the
break. He received several shocks of
electricity from the batteries and had
to bite off a piece of cord with which
to tie the wire. He was compelled to
let go of the lever with which the
planes are controlled, and as result
the big airship pitched and tossed at
a height of 300 feet, at times almost
standing on its nose. Despite the dan
ger he was in, Curtis continued to
work on his motor, while Captain
Baldwin in his position at the rear
of the frame was unable to be of any
assistance.

Peace exists everywhere on the
North American Continent, except in
one spot in Mexico.
There warfare has been carried on
for more than century between the
Mexican government and an uncon-
quered tribe of sturdy, fearless Indians
the Yaqui nation. The struggle be-
gan before the land now ruled by
Porfirio Diaz was a republic, even
when a viceroy swayed the rod Of
Spanish sovereignty from Mexico City
$50 years ago. The Yaquis have al
ways been free and independent peo-
pie. Even in the sixteenth century,
when Herman Cortez overthrow the
empire of the Montezumas, the Yaqui
people retained their independence in
their native hills of Sonora.
When the Mexican patriots cast off
the Spanish yoke these brave Indians
fought in the ranks of the revolution
lists, and helped to achieve Mexican
independence. After the establishment
of the Mexican republic they became
embrolled with the new administra-
ton, and have been fighting the Mexi-
can authorities internationally ever
since.

house rejected amendments formulate

Most intense interest was aroused
by the debate, the chamber being oc-
cupied to its fullest extent by both
members and spectators. The crown
prince, among the latter, remained
throughout. Outside the building
great crowds gathered and awaites
the result. The debate was lengthy
and was closed by Chancellor Won
Buelow, who spoke in favor of the
measure and appealed to the house
to help the government pass the bill
in its entirety. promising that expro-
priation will be exercised only when
absolutely necessary,
