yruI rensir the damage 10 the skids while await
ing Orviue Wrights return. 1t seems now that
the cause of tine motors stopping was due to the
r,agneto which is different from the one the
wrichts have been using
Tbat the motor should have stopped yesterday
u-as a great surprise TO those who have noticed
the eyenness of its explosions. In fact. this gen
eral confidence in the efficiency Of the motor gave
rise 10 the opinion that orye Wright had pur-
nosev shut it on TO test tile gliding qualities OF
the new aeTopane
Wilbur Wright explained after the mishap yester-
dav that the reason the machine did not glide in
the accident last September which resulted IN the
death Of Lieutenant Sefrldge and the injury or
0rvUe Wright was because the rear vertical rud
der was crippled and ruined the balance OF the
ma chine, causing the aeropane TO pitch forward
TO the ground. The experience Orviile Wright
gained in yesterdays glide may prove invalua-
