FALLS AND KILLS
II. SELFR|DGE
Inventor Seriously Hurt in the
Same Accident.
PROPELLER SNAPPED OFF
Aeroplane Wrecked In Crash and o.
eupants Buried Under the Heavy
Machinery.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-After hav.
ing drawn the attention of the world
to his aeroplane flights at Fort Myer
and having established new worlds
records for heavier than air flying
machines. Orville Wright Yesterday
met with a tragical mishap while max.
Ing two, man fight. The aeroplan
list was accompanied by Lieut.. Thorn.
as Il. Selfridge of the signal corps OF
the army Lieut. Selfridge was fat
ally injured and died at $40 o'clock
in the evening. Mr.. Wright was ser
iously injured but ii is expected he
will recover
DR. Waters a New York physician
was one of the first to reach the spot
and rendered first aid TO the injured
men. When their wounds had been
bandaged Mr.. Wright and Lieut.. Sci
fridge were taken to the Fort Myer
hospital at the other end of the field
Mr. Wright had lapsed into a state of
semiconsciousness by the time he
reached the hospital, while Lieut. Sci
fridge did not regain consciousness at
all. He was suffering from a fracture
at the base of the skull and was In
a critical condition.
After a hurried surgical examina.
tlon II was announced that Mr.
Wright was not dangerously injured.
He is suffering from a fracture of the
left thigh, and several ribs on the
right side are fractured Both men
received deep cuts about the head. Mr.
Wright regained consciousness at the
hospital and dictated a cablegram to
his brother at Lemans, France, and
requested that the same message be
sent to his sister and father at Day
ton, o., assuring them that he was
all right.
Charles White of White and Middle
ton, Baltimore, a mechanical expert.
gave this description of the accident:
i witnessed the flying of the areo-
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 II
made a dart to the ground while
still under operation of the right pro-
peller, causing it to strike the ground
with a great deal more force than It
would have done by gravity. | do not
feel hat this is any serious defect
In the machine, but merely want OF
better construction in the propellers.
Therefore, | do not feel that the ma
chine SHOULD be condemned beyond
this point, The accident was due
largely to the defective propeller.
The aeroplane was under perfect con
troll and the accident was certainly
not due TO any fault of operation"

OF Deposit to Senator's Credit
Amounting to $2e,ooo

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 1S.-William
r. Hearst, in an address last night un-
der the auspices of the local organiza-
ton of the independence party read
letters which he said had been writ
ten by J. D. Archbold of the Standard
Oil company to Senator J. B. Foraker
of Ohio, referring to legislation pend
ing in Congress and mentioning two
Enclosures of checks, one for $4,000
and another for $4,000.
These letters" said Mr.. Hearst,
have been given me by a gentleman
who has intimate associations with
the giant corruption, the Standard Oil
but whose name may not divulge,
lest he be subjected to the persecu-
ton of this monopoly:
"Twenty-six Broadway New York,
March 9, 1900
MY Dear Senator: ! have your
favor of last night with enclosure,
which latter, with letter from Mr.. FL.
lott commenting on same, / beg TO
send you herewith. Perhaps it would
be better to make a demonstration
against the whole bill, but certainly
the ninth clause to which Mr.. Elliott
refers, should be stricken out, and the
same is true of House bill No $500
also introduced by Mr.. Price, in rela-
ton to foreign corporations, in which
the same Objectionable clause occurs.
Am glad to hear that you think
that the situation is fairly well in
hand
Very truly yours,
JOHN d. ARCHBOLD."
Hon. J. h. Foraker Washington,

Dear Sir: In accordance with our
understanding, | now beg TO enclose
you certificate of deposit TO your
favor for $4,000 Kindly acmow-
ledge receipt and oblige.
(Signed)
Yours very truly,
JOHN ID. ARCHBOLD."
"Twentysix Broadway, New York,
February 49, 1900.
My dear sir: Here is still another
very Objectionable bill. 1t is so out
rageous as to be ridiculous but it
needs to be looked after. and | hope
there will be no difficulty in killing
1t.
Am anxious to hear from you as
to the situation as a whole.
(Signed)
Very truly yours,
JOHN ID. ARCHBOLD."
Hon. J. b. Foraker, Washington,
d. c."
You will see, gentlemen" said Mr.
Hearst, that the letters are not read
at random but have natural Sc
quence. Here is the next:
"Twenty-siX Broadway, New York,
April II, 1900.
MY dear sir: | enclose certificate
for deposit in your favor of $l4,50O.
We are greatly at a loss in the matter
but | send this and will be glad to
have a very frank talk with you when
opportunity offers, If you so desire
Il need scarcely again express our
great qualification over the favorable
outcome of affairs.
Very truly yours,
JOHN ID. ARCHBOLD."

 This was the statement made 10 a Tucson Citizen reporter by NJ. Sara bia, who Is held in the county iaii as government prisoner. Ssrsbia is one of the quartet whose deportation to Mexico Is eagerly sought by the Mexican government on the charge of plotting against the government.

Ttey were forced to take to arms just ss our people have been, .ho have been unable to secure justice. Vice-Iresident Corral and Governors Torres and Yssbel are responsible for the Ysqui troubles. They took the Indians lands and when the Yaquis protested they were driven to the mountains by soldiers" added Sara bis in his interview.

 "In spite of the denisls of Acosta l and Cordova, others who claim to be on the inside assert that each of them IS an officer Of high rank among the revolutionists.
 "In Phoenix there are said to be lmany revolutionary sympathizers among the Mexicsns. who have sort of organization that furnishes funds to help the revolution. In return for the funds contributed Cordova Is said to have been dubbed a general and Acosta A colonel.
