BEACHEY FLIES WITH
A WRIGHT LICENSE
Only Aviator SO Far to Succeed
in Getting the Coveted
Document.
FACES FORTY MILE GALE
Company Imposes stiff Terms
on Exhibitions Here
by Pegoud.
FACES FORTY MILE GALE

Lincoln Beachev did his air feats at
Brighton Beach yesterday In the face OF
pury forty mile gale with the moral
support OF flying license from The
Wright Company. which controls the aero
plane patents granted to Orvllle and Will
bur Wright.
Beachey now enjoys the distinction OF
being the only aviator flying under a
Wright license. His is the first license
granted by The Wright Company since
the recent patent litigation ended with a
decision in the Wrights' favor. The t'rm
OF the agreement are $1,000 for a license
plate for Beachey's machine and s25 for
each exhibition day. The agreement holds
until the end Of this year.
Ever since the patent decision avlators
have been seeking licenses from orville
Wright in vain. There has been little
fying this spring in the United States
because aviators have been afraid OF an
Injunction from The Wright Company.
T. r. MacMechen. who was at Brighton
Beach to see Beachey fly yesterday. has
just returned from Dayton. where he APP
piled to Mr.. Wright for license for
hibitions In this country. Mr.. Wright
ga not mince words regarding his attl-
tude toward foreign hiers according 70
Mr.. MacMechen, and toward Pegoud In
particular. He will make u az hard as
possible Tor Pegoud to ny In this country
he told Mr. MarMt chen. This Is 10 pro-
tect American fiers. Mr.. Wright said
Mr.. Wrghts terms were 90 per cent
~ the gross receipts from all Perouds
dying and a $1,000 bond to guarantee the
rayvent Although these terms are al.
most prohbitive Mr.. MacMechen received
Instructions yesterday to file an applica-
ton Tor Pegouds license.
tnasmuch as Pegoud gets $4,000 for
every day ne flies. counting on $4,000
gate each day with SO. 900 for The wrigh,
Comnanv. Mr.. NscMechen believes there
