Members Inspect Aero

OSVille and Wilbur Wright, the cham
pion aviatoTs of the world, rested this
morning after an exciting afternoon OF
explanation OF the intTicaCies of their
aerOplane TO Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Long
worth, Secretaries Meyer and Dickin-
son, and a member Of Congress or two.
If Mrs. Longwcrth and the Cabinet
members go out to the post this after
noon they viii see a fight unless wealth
or conditions change.
There wasn't much to do with the
machine anyway, since every adjust
ment had been made time after time,
every bearing tested, every guy wire
tishteued and loosened, and frightened
again. The aviators looked things over
most OF this morE.ing. but didn't see any
reason to exert themselves particularly
a little work here and there, mixed
with a small proportion of conversa-
ton and some water from the hydrant
nearby. with here and there a few
glances at passing recruits on parade
made up the program Of the morning
Orville viii fly somewhere about
the hour of 8 tonight.
Mrs. LongwOrth On Hand.
Aside from a INSTRUMENTATION wind
about the only matter of interest at Fort
Alyer last night was the presence of Mrs.
Nicholas LongwOrth, Secretary of war
Dickinson, and Secretary of the Navy
Meyer. True, there were Signal Corps
officers, correspondents from papers all
over the world, members of Congress,
and other persons.
And while the twelve-mile wind pre-
vented OTville Wright from manipulat-
ing the aerOplane 1t helped Mrs. Long
worth 10 hold a small reception and
sightseeing tour in the aeroplane shed

Vile Wright, but 10 the entertainment

shed, so Mrs. LOngworth whose illus
