INSPECTORS ARE HONEST.
Charges Of Harms Declared to Ne I'm
true

Washington, July 1.-The committee
appointed by Secretary Wilson. COM
posed of DR.. A. d. Melvin of the Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry, and George
p. Mccall. Solicitor OF the Department.
which Investigated the charges of J..
r. Harms that the Federal meat In
spection service at East st. Louis was
rotten and a farce" today reported
that the inspectors there were honest
men and performed their duties EN-
GENTLY and that no meat had been
passed which was unfit for human, food.
The report. which was submitted 20
the Secretary today and approved by
him. Is an exhaustive presentation OF
the case. The committee states that
their investigation was most searching
and that II failed to reveal any trace
Of dishonesty on the part of any en-
ploye at the East st. louis station. 1t
Is declared that while there Ia abso-
lutely no basis for the charges made
by Mr.. Harms they will undoubtedly,
to greater or less extent, reflect In
food products,
1T Is the belief OF your committee"
the report concludes. that the men at
the East st. Louis station, from top to
the bottom, are absolutely honest and
competent: that they are discharging
their duty to the service and to the
public In a conscientious. high minded
efficient way. and that no meat Is pass
ed from the East St. Louis station
bearing the mark of Federal inspection
which is not in every respect At for
human food.
THE record shows that many Of the
employees at the East St. Louis station
have worked over time in their efforts
to give an honest. efficient inspection.

FLIES AGAIN AT FORT
MINOR ACCIDENT TO WRIGHT
AEROPLANE.


Washington. July 2.--Resembling a
giant bird swooping down upon its
prey, the Wright aeroplane, after the
motor which propels II had come sud
denly to standstill. giided gracefully
to earth today. after having made two
successful flights.
The machine was on its way around
the Fort Myer drill grounds for the
ninth time in its second flight, when
the motor stopped sixty feet above
the earth and exactly in the same place
where the propeller blade bloke last
September, which resulted in the ac-
cident that terminated the trials at
that time. In gliding to earth, the
machine struck a tree and was swerved
around with such force that the skids
were broken and the right wing badly
ripped. Mr.. Wright was not hurt.
The two flights today were the most
successful that Orville Wright has
made at Fort Myer since his return to
complete the Government trial. On
the first attempt he few about the field
twelve times in eleven minutes and
fifty seconds, and on the second trial
he had gone around eight and one
half times when the fight was termin-
ated by q mishap.
He had been in the air for little
more than eight minutes. During the
flight Mr.. Wright went higher and
faster than In the trials of the previ-
Gus days. 1t was estimated that his
speed was about thirty-seven miles an
hour on an average. though the ma
chine probably exceeded forty miles
when flying with the light breeze
blowing from the south.
The glide, which covered distance
of perhaps 800 feet was beautiful to
behold, but there were few In the
crowd of thousand or more specta-
tors who did not fear for moment
that they were about to witness repe-
tition of last years accident
oliver and Wilbur inspected the ma
chine closely to see what caused the
motor to stop. They did not announce
the result Of their Investigation, but
said the aeroplane would not be ready
for another flight before Thursday at
the earliest. because It would be neees-
sary to send to their Dayton shop for
cloth with which to repair the damage
to the planes.
A wind velocity of about three miles
an hour was blowing when Orviile was
making his flights, making the machine
travel six miles faster on the. stretch
along the eastern border of the field
than along the western border. Like
last year, Orville is making circular
| flights with the left side of the ma
chine on the inside OF the field.
Glenn II. Curtiss. the Hammonds-
port aviator. who Is to make a flight
in his aeroplane in New York tomor-
| row, witnessed Mr.. wright's flights
today. He estimated the average speed
at about thirty-seve miles an hour
with a maximum speed of forty OF
more miles when travelling with the
