WRIGHT AEROPLANE
WRECKED IN Flight
FRAME OF AMERICAN MACHINE
is TORN AFTER LONG TRIP
AT LIE MANS, FRANCE.
NEW FEAT SUCCEEDS
BUT DAMAGE RESULTS
Navigator Seeks to AIisht on Spot
from Which He Arose, and Wing
Comes into Contact with Ground
Has Complete Mastery Of Device.

LIE Mans, France, Aug. 1.-THE
Wright aeroplane suffered an accident
Thursday which will require several
days and possibly week to repair.
After two superb flights Wilbur
Wright essayed a new and daring
method of descent. He stopped the
motor at height of rs feet and tried
to come to earth on gradual de-
scending glide. The calculations were
not absolutely correct and the left
wing of the aeroplane came in contact
with the ground. This tore the frame
of the machine. Mr.. Wright was not
injured.
Says Accident Is Not Serious.
Mr.. Wright said he did not regard
the accident as serious, and explained
that these were only incidental ex-
periences devoted to acquiring CON-
plete mastery of the difficulties of avi-
tation and the execution of new
maneuvers.
Mr. Wright's first flight Thursday
eclipsed all his former efforts. He
made seven complete tours of the field
over the tops Of the trees. According
to the official time he was in the air
eight minutes and SO seconds. The
aeroplanist was incommoded by H.
mile breeze, but in spite of this he
showed greater facility in maneuver-
ing than he did when there was a dead
calm. His landing was easy and sue
cessful in every way.
Second Flight Is Novel.
Mr.. Wright's second flight. which
lasted two minutes, was novel one.
The aeroplanist scared and descended
at will, executing bewildering turns.
Suddenly, as viewed from the grand.
stand, the machine lost Its speed and
began curving slowly toward the earth.
All appeared to be going we'll until 1t
framework struck the ground, with
the result that it was damaged and
torn.
Mr.. Wright calmly stepped out and
examined the wreck. He was quickly
surrounded by anxious friends, to
whom he explained that there had
been no accident in the air, but that
he had merely decided to try new
descent. He shut off the motor at 8
height of rs feet and endeavored tt
float downward.
Miss Morgan Watches Flight.
The real cause of the accident was
the attempt to land exactly on the
spot of his departure. In lifting the
| planes at the last moment in an at
tempt to continue the gliding progress
| he pulled the left plane too sharply.
The damage can be repaired easily
although because of the absence of the
necessary material the work will re
| quire several days.
Among the spectators Thursda.
were Miss Morgan, daughter of ]
Pierpont Morgan; M. Kapferer, thu
engineer of the French dirigible bal
loon; Mile. De Paris, and othe
French enthusiasts.

COUNT OkUMA'S TALK STIRS
INDIGNATION REIGNs IN JAPAN
BECAUSE OF UTTERANcE.
He Attributes United States Naval
Expansion Policy to Sudden Rise
Of Mlkado's Subjects.

Tokyo, Aug. Especial dispatches
from New York and London printed in
Japanese newspapers represent that
the recent utterance of Count Okuma
attributing the naval expansion policy
of the United States to the sudden rise
OF Japan to the Importance of world
power Is arousing intense indignation
and has caused a complete recrudes-
cence Of anti-Japanese sentiment
throughout America.
The New York newspapers are
quoted as editorially urging an Ameri-
can-Chinese alliance for the purpose
of off-setting the belilligerency OF the
Japanese.
One newspaper is quoted as giving
the views of WI Ting Fang, Chinese
minister to the United States, on
the subject of an alliance In which he
threatens Japan with IAN early evil
dence of the real power of the Amer
lean navy"
Americans residing in Tokyo, Yoko-
hama and elsewhere throughout Japan
are extremely indignant. They believe
that the special dispatches exaggerate
the tone of the New York newspapers
and 1t is felt that it is particularly I'M
fortunate that at this time anything
should be permitted to retard the In
creasingly friendly relations of the
two nations in view of the elaborate
arrangements on foot among the Jap
anese to welcome the American feet
and the growing cordially exhibited
on all sides toward Americans. Amer.
lean business men especially regret
the publications because the revival of
the anti-Japanese propaganda in Amer
lea will, they fear, undoubtedly afford
qualification to competing countries.
