flames on the ground. but he. per-
sisted
Smith was mass of flames instantly
An Italian. Domineck Fioco, seeing
Smiths plight, attempted to save him
from burning to death by throwing
water over him. The water served to
spread the flames and Fioco was also
severely burned about his face and
eyes.
The wounded men were taken to the
residence OF Mrs j. C. Scott, where
their immediate wants were attended
to by a daughter of Mrs. Scott, who

OroviIIe Wright Praises BIeriot

WASHINGTON, July 25.-On the eve
OF making an aeroplane fight involving
as great if not greater dangers than
Blerlot risked in crossing the English
channel early today, Orvflle Wright
expressed great pleasure when he
learned of the success of the French
man. That it was a personal triumph
ior Bleriot, however. rather than an
indication of an advancement in the
art of flying, was wrights idea of the
significance of the accomplishment. He
spoke admiringly of Bleriot, saying he
was one of the most daring of all avia-
tors. Wright is familiar with the Bile
riot monoplane which, he said, is of
the Antoinette type used by Hubert
Latham. but antedates the latters form
of construction
The announcement of the success of
the Wright brothers several years ago
strred the French aeronauts to orig
mai effort, it is said. and while some
suggested that the type of biplane used
by the Wrights should be deevIoped by
Frenchmen, others desired to evolve a
successful heavier than air machine
from distinctly French idea The Pc
maud monoplane, therefore, was taken
up, and many of the principles devel-
oped and discovered by the Wriebts
We're applied to the French machine II
Is SAID lhat Blerlot could not with his
monoplane describe the short circles
which Wright made yesterday.
The Wrights take great pride in their
own machine and believe that il sur-
passes all others.
1t is said Orville Wright had ny
peeted himself to make the channel
flight last FELL but was unable to do
so on account of the accident at Fort
Myer in September
The country between Fort Myer and
Shutters hill near Alexandria. over
which Orville will make his official
speed trial, is very rough some Of the
hills being $50 to 300 feet high. The
distance to be covered is five miles
and return. Neither the height at
which 1t will be necessary nor the dis
tance gives Wright any concern. but
he is solicitous about the fact that he
must carry a passenger, make 40 miles
an hour and fly over country the
topography of which is marked by un-
tried obstacles and conditions

DIVINE TELLS OF WORK

Rev. R. r. Clifford Speaks of
Conditions in England

Rev. r. R. Clifford of London, Eng,
where he has worked for many years
among the unemployed. gave an inter-
esting address at the First Baptist
church last night upon his experiences
in the east side and what the long
struggle there among his fellow. men
has meant to him.
DR.. Clifford is studying social and
economic conditions in the United
states and hopes to learn much by
comparing conditions here with the
situations in England.
Rev. George e. Burlingame spoke in
the morning on the theme, "Religion
and Human Society,"" and asserted that
the essential elements of human well
fare are moral elements always. He
declared his belief in faith and it's
power and that the only hope of en-
during moral life is in the religion of
Christ.

Gale Is Blowing

A gale was blowing last night and
the weather forecasts promised a
strong wind and squalls. Hence the
operators OF the sirens on the steam
ers which it had been arranged should
be blown when the flyer started. were
absent from their posts. Only a few
persons received the wireless warn,
ing Of Bieriot's ascent.
NJ Ia Fontaine. a friend Of the avia-
tor. arrived at the Lord Warden hotel
from Calais at midnight, saying he had
an appointment TO meet NJ Bleriot at
o'clock. The hotel people thought
he was joking.
NJ la Fontaine selected as a land
ing place a cup shaped depression, two
miles east of Dover, where the airship
would be sheltered from the wind in
settling. There he painted the French
flag.
The sailors on the ships in the harbor
were the first TO discover that Bleriot
was approaching. They heard the buz-
zing Of the motor two or three min
utes before they could discern the
aeroplsne. Then what looked like a big
white butterfly glided over their heads
as fast as a train OF cars and with
almost as much noise. 1t reached the
