HIS RIGHT IS DEADLY

Trip of Wright’s Aeroplane at Fort Myer Results in a Fatal Accident. LIEUT. SELFRIDGE IS RILLED 1 Propeller Breaks on the'Third Round / of the Flying Machine Aviators Plunge Down Seventy-Five Feet to Earth— Wright Haa a Thigh and Several Riba Broken. Washington, Sept. 18.— After having drawn the attention of the world to his aeroplane flights at Fort Myer, and having established new world’s records for heavler-tlian-air flying machines. Orville Wright has met with a tragical mishap while making a two-man flight. The neroplanlst was accompanied by Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge, of the signal crops of the army. Lien tenant Seifridge was fatally injured and died about three hours later. Wright was seriously injured, but is expected to recover. How the Tragedy Occurred. While the machine was encircling the drill grounds a propeller blade snapped off, and bitting some other part of the Intricate mechanism cans ed it to overturn in the air and fall to the ground, enveloping the two occupants in the debris Soldiers and spectators ran across the field to where the aeroplane had fallen and assisted in lifting Wright and Lieutenant Seifridge from under the tangled mass of machinery, rods, wires and shreds of muslin. Wright was conscious and said: “Oh, hurry and lift the motor.” Lieutenant Seifridge was unconscious and had apparently struck the ground with great force Ilis head was covered with blood and he was choking when the soldiers extricated him from under the machine. Lieutenant’s Skull Fractured. Dr. Watters, a New York physician, was one of tiie first to reach the spot, and rendered first aid to the injured men. When their wounds had been bandaged. Wright and Lieutenant Sel fridge were taken to the Fort Myer hospital. It was feared that Wright was suffering from internal injuries. He had lapsed into a state of semieouseiousness by the time he reached the hospital, while Lieutenant Selfrfdge did not regain consciousness at all. He was suffering from a fracture at the base of the skull. Wright Has Broken Bones After a hurried surgical examination It was announced that Wright was not dangerously injured. He is suffering from a fracture of his left thigh, ana several ribs on the right side are fractured. Both men received deep cuts about the head. Wright regained consciousness at the hospital and dictated a cablegram to his brother at I.e Mans, France, and requested that the same message to sent to his sister and father at Dayton, 0., assuring them that he was all right.

WENT DELIGHTTED TO DEATH

Dead Mac Glad of mi Opportunity u> Hide with Wright There were 2,000 people present in thegroundswhen theaceidentoccurred As lie was about to start Wright turned to Seifridge and said: “You might as well get in. We’ll start in a couple of minutes.” The Lieutenant was delighted at the opportunity, and readily complied, and the machine started and attained a height of about forty feet on tiie first round, reach Ing seventy-five feet on the ground, which was maintained. While the machine was turning at the southern end of the field, .several thousand feet from the spectators, some one shouted: “What is that? Something fell!” Immediately all eyes were on the aeroplane, and it was seen to turn over on its side, and pausing a moment made a complete turn and then came swooping to the earth in a cloud of dust. No effort on the part of the aviator could possibly have averted tiie accident Planes and rud ders were absolutely Incapable of righting the machine when It had turned in that manner. Both of the injured men had severe scalp wounds, and Lieutenant Selfridge’s skull was fraeturend over the left eye. This wound was causing convulsions until the surgeons removed the broken skull from the wound

The cause of the accident was whaiLv Jlfe breaking of a blade of one of the propellers, which put the machine out of balance, an effect which Wright had foreseen, but said that In such case he would stop the motor “and glide to the earth.” But — “The best laid schemes of -mice and men. “Gang aft ngley”— and Wriglit had no time to stop the motor. Wright had an engagement to dine wllh Major Squier. of the signal cor)Ks. and the major was among the first at Ids side after the accident, and Wright said to him: “I guess we won’t take dinner together-tonight. Major.” A grim fact is Hint a few days ago a friend of Wright made application for insurance on Wright’s life, and the eonqumy refused to issue a policy, owing to Wright’s line of work.

NEW ENGLAND MOVES

She Proposes to Begin Measures for the Conservation of Her Resources. GUILD PROPOSES A CONFERENCE Will Include the Governor! and State Officials of “Yankeedom.” Ia to Consider the Water Question, Preservation of Forests and Fish and Other Questions of Importance. Boston, Sept. 15.—A conference of governors and other state officials of the New England states, together with prominent representatives of the various walks of life, for the purpose of formulating plans to develop the natural and business resources of this section of the country was definitely projected at an informal gathering of the governors of five of the New England states, held In this eity. The gathering, yesterday took the form of a luncheon at the Algonquin club, nnd was called by Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., of Massachusetts, and Governor’s Proctor, of Vermont; Floyd, of New Hampshire: Higgins, of Rhode Island and Woodruff, of Connecticut, were present. Governor Cobb, of Maine, lias signified ids approval of the idea, but the election in Maine prevented his attendance.

Purposes of the Conference. Governor Guild in stating the purpose of the meeting, said in part.: “At the suggestion of a number of business, agricultural and other organizations of Massachusetts I have ventured to ask you to this conference to consider the advisability of calling, after the presidential election, a representative gathering from all of the New England states for the purpose of considering the conservation of New England reservoirs and the further development of this section of the country. Such a convention might very properly concern itself with the preservation of New England forests, and in connection with this the preservation and Improvement of New England waterways and water powers. Fish Preservation and Good Roads. “Another crying need is the neces slty for united action of the states bordering on tiie sea for the preservation of shell fish. Another subject that might well he considered is the opening up of a logical scheme of good roads between»the leading centers of New England. A vast field for united action also exists in the discussion and adoption of more uniform and more progressive laws for the protection of the public health, and for laws governing sanitation. The spread of tuberculosis through diseased milk, for example, can only effectively be checked in New England by the passage nnd rigorous enforcement of uniform laws in every one of our states.” Guild’s Idea Is Approved. After tiie matter had been thoroughly discussed it was decided that a con ference such as Governor Guild had suggested should be called for a date some time after the presidential election. nnd should he held in Boston. Should the conference prove successful it was expected that meetings in future years will lie held in the various New England states. Greater uniformity of state legislation will be particularly aimed at.

PROTECTION FOR LONDONERS.

A sewing machine made In Bridgeport, Connecticut, costs 35 to 40 dollars there. The same company sells them in London for 20 dollars. Hpw important it is that there should be a tariff to protect the business of the manufacturers of sewing machines.

AN AUDACIOUS AND INSOLENT PERFORMANCE.

(Springfield Republican.) “If Mr. Sherman ever did anything in public life to attract national attention, prior to his nomination to the vice-presidency, it was his appeal to Harriman for campaign funds in 1908, as revealed by the President’s letter. Harriman at that time had not become so notorious and so obnoxious to the American people as he became somewhat later, yet his business character and political standing were as well understood in the autumn of 1906 by Republicans like Mr. Sherman aa they are today. Taken In connection with the campaign fund publicity iseue, the Sherman nomination seems to be as audacious—we will not say insolent—a performance as the Republican party in these later years of its history has been guilty of.”
