ORVILLE WRIGHT HAS A NARROW ESCAPE

Kill Devil Hill, N. C., October 23-Or- vile Wright had a narrow escape from serious injury today when his glider turned over in the air and dashed to the ground. The machine was disabled, but not so badly that it cannot be repaired again for flights tomorrow or Wednesday. Todays accident was the second the ma chine has met with since the 90 experi- ments were begun.
 Wright had made one short glide in the machine and was essaying a second when the glider began to turn turtle slowly in cross wind.
 The aviator scrambled nimby over the machine as it turned with the result that he was on top of it when it dived to earth, bottom side up and so escaped with a slight shaking up.

BRITISH CABINET IS RECONSTRUCTED
 --------a. Churchill Is First Lord and Will McKenna Is Home
 Secretary

London, October 2s.--The British cabi- net has undergone ans important recon struction, rumors of which have been in circulation some weeks.
 Winston Spencer Churchill, home secre- tary, becomes first lord of the admiralty, while Reginald McKenna lays down the admiralty portfolio to become home sec retary. Earl Darlington, president of the board of agriculture. becomes lord of privy seal. C. E. Hobhouse, financial sec retary to the treasury, is appointed chan eellor of the Duchv of Lancaster. w. Runciman retires from the presidency of the board of education to become presi- dent of the board of agriculture, while the presidency of the board of education has been assumed by J. A. Pease, former chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster.
 Sir Edward Strachey, parliamentary secre tary of the board of agriculture. and the Rt. Hon. Alfred Emmett, member of parliament for oldham and deputy speak CT of the house of commons, have been promoted to the peerage.
 With the exception of the exchange of offices by MT. Churchill and MT. Me- Kenna, the cabinet changes cause small comment The unionists express a fear that the change made will enable the government to reduce the naval estimat tes, MT. Churchill being considered one of the economists of the cabinet.
 The exchange, however, is more likely to have been due to parliamentary than political causes Both ministers have met with the dixapproval of the laborites and the extreme radicals, NIT. Churchill by reason of the employment of troops dur ing the strikes, and MT. Mckenna be- cause of 8 recent speech advocating a further increase in the naval expendi- lures.
 By the change both escape the neces- ssity of replying to their critics.
 The changes necessitate three bielec- tions, one in Oldham. East Bristol and South Somerset.

other triumph for the aeroplane.
Aviator Gilbert had covered
about go miles of the trip when a
giant eagle loomed up before him
in the sky. Before he realized
that the eagle was preparing to
attack him, the great bird swoop-

massive talons striking heavily
against Gibert's metal headpiece.
Gilbert clung to his machine as the
eagle lost its grip and went hurt

the bird again swept down on the
rear of the plane, narrowly being
caught In the propeller.
Again the giant bird swung free
and again swooped down to the
attack. This time Gilbert drew his
revolver, fired and the eagle
dropped earthward. BY a super
human effort Gilbert regained con-
