Relation to other businesses.
A notable difference between our lire oil
business and many, IL not most others, is
that In future the tendency will be toward
production In smaller instead Of larger lots,
rather than from smaller to larger, and YET
the total volume must increase. A larger
number OF people will raise a few head
and the commission man of the future will
find on his books the names and addresses
Of an increasing number Of feeders and
farmers, men who will raise and fatten
a deck of hogs and a car OF cattle and
market their products themselves, and who
will look to their commission men for
advice as to what to feed next. what TO
! stock up with for the next six months
or a year, whether more cattle and less
hogs or more hogs and less cattle, or more
sheep and less of either, and IL will be not
Fonly the commission mans duty, but also
an important part OF his business, to In
diligently furnish such advice, based upon
an accurate knowledge of conditions, and
with due consideration to the natural
adaptabillties of the different territories and
localities.
The commission man will need to practi-
cally develop himself into a bureau OF in
formation, will need to be increasingly bet
ter informed regarding supply and demand,
not alone at his own market and In lite
tributary territory, but all over the country,
and in foreign countries.

An Experts Description.

An Experts Description.
Charles White of White & Middle
ton. Baltimore. Nd. a mechanical ex-
pert, gave this description Of the ac-
cident to AIessrs. Wright and Self
ridge:
Il witnessed the flying Of the aero
plane and it was performing beauti-
fully for six or seven minutes when
suddenly one Of the propellers broke
near the end. This caused the ma
chine to become so thoroughly out of
balance through centrifugal force as
to make it unmanageable, and it made
a dart to the goru4ld while still un-
der operation Of the right propeller,
causing it to strike the ground with
great deal more force than it would
have done by gravity. I do. not feel
that this is any serious defect in the
machine, but merely want Of better
construction in the propeller: there
fore, I do not feel that the machine
should be condemned beyond this
point. I should imagine that when
the machine made the dart for the
ground it fell at the rate Of 20 miles
an hour. I saw the piece that flew
from the propeller fall to the earth.
Before the flight Of the machine I
examined it thoroughly and saw
nothing to be criticised outside Of the
wood construction Of the propellers.
"Before the machine made the
flight I remarked that the wood pro-
pellers were not of the proper con-
;, lction. Three seconds after the
accident happened the big machine
appeared like a bird with broken
wing. The forward side of the ma
chine struck the ground first. Wright
and Selfridge we're in their usual po-
sitions on the seats when they land

the mechanical devices remained in
tact, though the braces and canvass
work we're wrecked. The accident
was due entirely to the defective pro

feet control and the accident was Ger
tainly not due to any fault Of opera

DR.. Howard H. Bailey made the
first announcement Of Lieut.. Self
ridges death. Just after the lieuten-
ant had passed away the doctor came
to those waiting in the front rooms
and halls and said, "He is dead"
Ellis DEATH" said the doctor, "was
due to a compound fracture at the
base of the skull. He never regain
ed consciousness from the moment he
struck the ground, despite the heroic
remedies which were administered.
There was absolutely no response to
the treatment given him. He passed

broken blade showed that ii nail been
snapped off at point one-tourth of
the distance from the hub. A deep
indentation in the broken piece indi-
Gated that it had struck some other
part Of the aeroplane.
Octave Chanut, the father Of aero
nauticS in America. examined the
wreckage. He said that if the WrightS
had used but one propeller instead
Of two the result would have been at
least as serious.
Only this morning Mr.. Wright had
been asked what the result would be
if one of his propellers broke while
the machine was in flight. "The
other propeller would tend TO turn
the machine around." he said. "but
I would stop the motor and glide to
earth.';
Among the eye-witnesseS was Mr..
Charles R. Flint of New York, inter-
national representative Of the Wright
brothers. Mr.. Flint said tonight that
the mishap would not cause the Fort
Never FLIGHTS to be abandoned. They
will be resumed. he said. as soon as
Mr.. Wright has recovered and the
machine can be repaired.
Officers Of the signal corps and
other enthusiasts at Fort Meyer were
inclined to express the belief that to-
days accident was not due to a faulty
principle, but to defect in the pro-
peller, which was made Of spruce.
One Of the members of the signal
corps board who had been conducting
the Fort Meyer tests said:
"The resumption Of the aeroplane
trials will depend on the length Of
time which it will take Mr.. Wright to
recover from his injuries. This acci-
dent will, Of course, seriously hamper
the possibility Of securing appropria-
tions from congress for the aeronau-
tical work Of the signal corps. The
Wright brothers, however, have even
more advanced ideas in regard to
aerial flights, and if they continue
their work it is very probable that
the effect Of this one accident will be
overcome.

Machine Tampered With.

The belief was expressed by a ser
geant Of the signal corps that the
aeroplane had been tampered with
previous to its flight, but this is i'm
probable because the machine has
been closely guarded while at the fort.
It was housed in specially construt-
ed shed and a guard kept strangers
away both day and night. The sug-
gestion Of foul play is discredited by
all those acquainted with the methods
Of safeguarding the machine.
