she did not appear at his door at the

Are Experimenting With MotorIess
Aeroplane and Expect Soon to
Announce New

TEARS Ills TROUSERS
Had Fall From His Glider and Es-
capes With Slight Shaking
up and Few
Rips.

KILL DEVIL HILL, N. c., Oct. "a.
-Orville Wright had a narrow es.
cape from serious injury when his
glider turned over in the air and dash
ed to the ground. The machine was
disabled, but not SO badly that it can
not be repaired again for flights. The
accident was the second the machine
has met with since the present expert
ments were begun.
Wright had made one short glide
In the machine and was essaying a
second, when the glider began to turn
over slowly in cross-wind. Tha avia-
tor scrambled nimbly over the ma
chine as 1t turned, with the result
that he was on top of it when it dived
to earth, bottom side up. Wright's in
juries consisted of a severe laceration
of his trousers and slight shaking
up.
The Wright brothers are working
on the new mechanism designed to
keep an aeroplane on an even keel,
a problem of stability which has been
the study Of aviators the world over.
1t is expected that their newest mech
anism will be sent here from the fac
tory at Dayton and tried out on the
| glider.
| The Wright contrivance is said to
resemble the aileron device used on
some other machines. Ailerons are
small flaps looking much like window
shutters, and are attached to the main
| plane. When tricky gust tilts an
aeroplane out of balance one of the
ailerons fops downward while another
f1ops upward. That makes a difference
! in the air resistance on the sides OF
the aeroplane and helps it to settle
back to level.
The device which the Wright broth
ers may try is said to apply this prin
ciple with the use of a pendulum
hanging into space below the aero
plane.
Until recently all aviators have look
ed upon automatic balancing device!

Plenty Of Money Back Of Rlcheson to

BOSTON, Oct 24-Ihe body OF

uel Baptist church of Cambridge, is
accused Of having murdered by CIV
ing her cyanide of potassium, Is to be
taken from the grave at Hyannis in

strengthen the states case against
the accused pastor. What evidence is
sought the police will not divulge.
The exhumation was ordered Dy
District Attorney Pelletier.
I'VE do not believe for second
that there is any man other than
Richeson in the case" said Chief Of
Detectives Joseph Dugan when ques-
toned about another admirer Of Miss
Linnell who has been mentioned by
the defense. "Our case is very strong. p
Rev. Mr.. Richeson faced two lead
ing members OF his church and de-
clared: II am innocent and will
prove 1t when the time comes" The
two men were A. F. watson, church
treasurer, and e. e. Hughes.
All that money and the legal pro-
fession can provide to aid Richeson
apparently will be forthcoming.
In addition to the statement of
Moses Grant Edmands, father of Rich
