EnrWJarJTfl 2 THE WASHINGTOJS POST SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19 1908 made it cleared the end Of the propeller blades by at least inches 5 Mr Wright think that this Wire after having been struck by the propeller Imbedded Itself in it and dragged it iTom Its Xastenlng This 4f Um help less to control the rear rudder He says that he knew something had happened the instant the propeller blade was broken and flew off He did not dare look1 be hind In trying to control tbe machine he found the rear rudder would not work The next Instant he cut off the motor and started to descend he Bays Only one propeller was working and this had a tendency to turn the machine inward The front planes worked all right and would unquestionably have righted the machine again in Mr frights opinion had he been at a greater height at the moment of tne accident say 200 feet or so He is convinced he could have made a comparatively easy landing if he had fallen from a greater height though it all happened in a very few seconds he says he felt be was getting tbe machine under control again as it uit the grounu lhat is to say he might hae righted it and glided down to safety The sbort distance from tne ground prevented this Heard Selfridge Shout He says that the only thing be beard Ueut Selfridge say as the machine was falling was 1b Oh The lieutenant must have jelled this because it Is almost impossible to bear a conversation with the propeller blades churning about Mr WrigM sajs he never eutlrely Iostcon sciousness though he was dated for the first few minutes He Is an keenly interested as ever in his work and there will be no let when be gets well Thats as certain as kingdom come The little hospital was the center of much attraction all day long Scores of curious and morbidly Inclined visitors from this city rode to the fort and hung about the building asking questions of everyone whom they thought had any Information to dispense There were a number of sympathetic visitors during the day Thee included Octave Chanute the theoretical aeronautical expert who Is one of Mr Wrights closest pergonal friends and lio has taken a great interest In the career of tne brother since first they essayed tne problem of aerial navigation Chanute Visits Wright WILBUR WRIGHT WEEPS Aviators Brother Grieved by Fatal Accident DEPLORES OFFICERS DEATH First Thought Is Safety of Passengers He Says When News of Orvillei Mi hap at Fort Myer Reaches Him in France Countermands Orders for Flights to Regret of Waiting Crowd Le Mans France Sept 18 Wilbur Wright brother of Orvllle Wright and who has been conducting a series of ex periraents here for several weeks with a wrignt aeroplane was very mucn per turbed when he beard this morning the news from Washfngton that his brothei had suffered an accident In which Lieut Thomas Selirtdge lost his life He at once countermanded the orders given for preparations for his flight today In which he purposed to try lor the Micnenn ana Aero Club prizes Mr Wright then sat down on a beam of the framework used to hold bis machine and bowed his head to hide ills emotion When he looked up again his eyes were swimming with tears and his mouth was twitching convulsively I had rather be killed myself he said than that we should be responsible for the death of Lieut Selfridge I feel that we guarantee all passengers against accident When we have a passenger we always think first of his safety Much as I love my brother I would rather have heard that he was dead than his companion And our poor old father What will he think He has always been nervous about our work One thing Is certain Until I am absolutely sure that no accident Is possible I will not take any one up with me again Was Ready for Flight Everything was ready barring a few final details at the field of Auvour where Mr Wright has been hying a huge crowd had assembled and the soldiers on duty found difficulty in keeplu the people back In tho private lnclosure were gathered all the notable aeroplanlsts of Europe as well as a number of for Among tne latter cldent occurs With an apparatus fitted with one propeller the danger is much less Nevertheless it still exists and donfess that I am absolutely nervous every time I experiment as I think that my propeller may break suddenly when In full action Delagrange is absolutely certain that aeroplanes will be the air machines of the future Dirigible balloons may have their uses but aeroplanes will be the con querors of tbe air he argues BALLOONS MORE HAZARDOUS HOWTOFICHTPHTHISIS Sweden to Show Its Advanced May

upon the death of Lieut Thomas Selfridge by the accident to the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer as the severest setback aeronautics ever has received but La Rue Jones editor of Aeronautics pointed out in an interview that in the history of aeroplanes there have been only four deaths confpared with the great number In connection with the development of the balloon It is a question In the minds of aeronauts here whether the United States signal corps at Washington will Insist now upon a member of the aeronautical detachment of the army accompanying OrVllle Wright in his aeroplane when the final

about 5 oclock this evening Rising to a height of 300 feet they circled about the military tournament grounds for fifteen minutes before alighting Once in the air a strong wind blowing about fifteen miles an hour struck the balloon and turned its head from the southerly course on which It had been set Sergt Ward energetically worked the steering wheel and guided the balloon In a circle The wind made accurate steering almost Impossible and while the balloon answered the helm readily when going with the wind it swajed and plunged when facing tho breeie Bag Rocks Dangerously In descending an accident was narrowly averted Sergt Ward threw out a coil of rope to be seized from the ground Instead of reaching the ground It be came tangled and the end dangled IS to examine a machine Accident

vicinity of the frt so she might be near her brother during his convalescence Mr Wrights broken thigh was reset yesterday morning by Capt Howard Bailey the post surgeon and Dr Wctters of New Tork the physician who volunteered his services Just after the accident Tbe thigh was placed in plints and the broken ribs were held in place by a tight fitting leather jacket Though of frail physique he rallied extremely well from the shock and was In good spirits throughout the day The surgeons say he will suffer a little pain for a week or two while the broken bones are knitting Recovery Will Take Long Capt Bailey In explaining the aviators chances of complete recovery said It probably would be at least nine months before Mr Wright will have the full ue Of his broken leg Of course he Mil be able to move about pn crutches long before that time The thigh is broken near the hip It was a clean break Charles Flint said last night that Mr Wright had received a message from his brother but its contents would not bo revealed Mr Flnt said that he himself had had a cablegram from Wilbur Wrght saying the latter would not make any more flights in France until next Monday out of respect to the memory of Lieut Selfridge Mr Flint would not dlscusi the exact status of his financial relations with the Wrights He did say however that he was convinced they would both continue tne work wmen tney bad set ror themselves when they planned the conquest of the air Mr Flint visited Mr Wright In tlie morning Others who visited the hospital included Dr Zahm the aeronautical et Eer whose guest Mr Wright was at the osmos Club and Brg Gen Crozler chief of ordnance whoe guest the aviator was to have been Thursday night PABIS PEESS SYMPATHETIC Accident Held to Point Out Pen of At tempts to Fly Pari Sept lS The French press is FjLi swinging the aeroplane rapidly around on Its axis This must have been the criti cal instant It then became necessary to operate the lever with the correct turning movement At the same time if the powei of the motor was cut off it would be eas to keep the machine on an even keel and allow it to descend on Its own planes May Not Have Loosed Lever The difficult doubtless was that to shut off the power it is necessary to let go the lever momentarily and In the mental confusion of an unprecedented mishap this may not have been done i his necessity of relinquishing the lever to shut off tho power Is a defect which I have been studving It could easily be remedied by a connection hich would permit the foot instead of the arm to operate the cut off After this explanation of what he believed had occurred at vCashington Air Wright was left alone to pull himself together A few minutes later a friend entered the shed and found him sitting with his head In his hands He looked up sadl and said If anything could make me abandon further work in solving the problem of heavicr than alr flight which has been my dream since I was 11 years old It would be an accident like this men springing up suddenly Mr Wright declared Xo we have solved this problem With us living is not an experiment it is a demonstration I will wait until 1 hear from Orv Hie The announcement of the postponement of the trials scheduled today and the reasons therefor which were at once made known created a profound Impression among those who had gathered at the fleld and there were many expressions oT deep sympathy from the local inhabitants Has Theory as to Cause After studing fuller dispatches Wilbur Wright gave It as his opinion that none of the explanations of the accident was adequate He said he had a theorj but he did not care to mention It in the absence of supporting facts It was evident that this theory concerns the transmis sion gear with which Orvllle wrote he will take the place next week of Lieut Selfridge who was to have assisted Lieut Loulois and who was killed the wreck of the Wright aeroplane at Fort Mj er yesterday KNEW BOOMERANG VICTIM

army maneuvers when their car ran Into the pillar of a bridge and was wrecked The occupants had a marvelous escape Continuing Mr Wright declared it was most important that the exact cause of the accident be established and he expressed the hope that his brothers assistants would be able to make a minute examination Wilbur Wright was greatly concerned i at the effect the news may have on the health of his aged father FAVORS ONE PROPELLER Lieut Selfridge Coworker of Aeronaut Recently Killed Hammondsport Sept 18 Lieut Selfridge of the United States signal corps had been deeply interested In air flight since Prof Alexander Graham Bell began his experiments here several years ago He was stationed last year at the aerial experiment station In Hammondsport and witnessed all the important flights by the aeronauts under the direction of Prof Bell Lieut Selfridge was a warm personal friend of Charles Oliver Jones who fell to death from the airship Boomerang in Maine several weeks ago The lieutenants advice had been of great help In the perfecting of the Boomerang and he supervised flights of the June Bug which established several records for short flights at Hammondsport last May When Orvlile Wright announced his trial flights at Fort Myer Lieut Selfridge was sent to the foit where his expert knowledge of aeronautics could be of best service to the government PARENTS TO COME HERE Hygiene observed In the home will be the most potent factor in checking the advance of consumption according to Dr Bertll Buhre secretary of the Swedish National Anti Tuberculosis Association who is here to tell the International Tuberculosis Congress what his country Is doing in the great battle against that malady Dr Buhre who has begun the installation In the new National Museum building of the fine exhibit which Sweden has sent to the congress contends that parents either through Ignorance or neglect of hygienic principles are largely responsible for conditions which invite the germs of tuberculosis In support of this he points to the high deatrr rate from consumption among persons between tho ages of IS and 30 years or at a time of life when they can be of most value to the nation The reason for this he says is that because of this inattention to hygiene the child at a fender age Is susceptible to the germ which a few years later develops and finds a ready victim Isolation and Hygiene There Is certainly every reason to hope that the progress of consumption will be materially checked through a more exten sive system of isolation of consumptives In sanatoria and other establishments and through the introduction of better principles of hygiene into the dally life of the people said Dr Buhre In many cases especially In poor homes condi tions must necessarily baffle all our efforts to protect the growing child The consumptive member of the family however good his intentions may be cannot possibly be as careful at home as he ought He neither can nor will permanently stay at a hospital separated from his family Considering that many affected persons die as a result of worry incident to such separation our best results ltseems to me would be obtained In making the home as hygienic and as cheerful as possible Public Baths a Necessity Dr Buhre Is a stanch believer In the efficacy of the public bath as a means of protecting health and preventing disease In no city he says where public baths have been estab lished Is the death rate as high as In cities where this Institution is unknown When told that Washington was without one he expressed surprise and added that he regarded the establishment of such an Institution a great public need In any city with such a mixed population Most emphatically It would pay both In the health and moral tone of the population for your city to have public baths In the big cities of Sweden there are numerous baths open to all classes People regard them as a necessity I look on them as a most effective agent in promoting good healthful surroundings I know of no Deiter puDllc or private philanthropy One lesult of the fight against tuberculosis deplored by Dr Buhre is the growing terror at the presence of the consumptive as he terms it Such alarm he declares Is not only unnecessary but in many cases cowardly It often tends to retard Drocrress of tho cure by imposing hardships on the victim Danger in Fear of Disease Dread of consumption has shown Itself In many ways he said and has become an enemy to society that threatens to counteract the campaign against tuberculosis It must there rfore be combated in every possible way tnis is most easily done by teaching the public under what conditions and In what manner consumption becomes Infectious While there are many details touching this point still under discussion on one point all scientific men agree namely that it Is the spu off1 the eclipse any previous effort on the part the Rit fifatn One of tha features thfi MauuKbnsAttK collection will

because of an utter lack of protection to workmen from tbe deadly germs carried through dust In many of these factories It is shown that there are few if any safeguards It is to war against these conditions declared to bo a menace to an entire State that Massachusetts has sent a distinguished delegation of medical men to represent it in the congress Occupying considerable space on the second floor just west of the main stair way is an exhibit sent here by Nathan Straus New Yorks merchant philanthropist a brother of Oscar Straus Secretary of Commerce and Labor Mr Straus has long been a

of the metropolis where pasteurized milk Is supplied at cost or where parents are too poor to pay this milk Is given free It is to show how this milk is prepared that Mr Straus has sent a complete apparatus The exhibit Is incharge of Miss Hearn who when the congress Is opened will give dally demon strations to instruct the public as to the process of pasteurization It is expected that by the middle of next week most of the delegates will have arrived Several of those who arrived this week yesterday went to Philadelphia for the tuberculosis conference In session there By the time the bulk

makes a canvas of the patients and reports to tbe board patients are questioned relative to thejr incomes and If one says he may at some future date be able to pay at least something for treatment accorded him he is stricken from the charity Hit and the hospital does not set the regulation fee of 1L20 Consequently say the physicians the institution fails to benefit by the appropriation provided for Its maintenance And seldom they add do patients who have been primarily admitted as emergency cases settle their bills If an emergency patient says he is not able to pay for treatment the Institution then receives the specified fee Fee for Each Case One of the physicians who declines to permit the use ot his name for obvious reasons explains the situation thus About five years ago Congress permitted the disbursement of the appropriation by the directors of the Instltu tlon Under this system tbe hospital was able to care for hundreds of cases which now must be treated at a loss Tbe appropriation however was turned over to the Board of Charities with instructions that a specified fee should be paid to the hospital for every emergency case treated leaving the matter entirely to the discretion of the board Under this system a representative of the board calls regularly at the hospital to learn If patients are able to pay for treatment Frequently a patient will say he Is able to pay when he Is not for he assumes that if he plead poverty hour Rose finally admitted he mlaht possibly at some future time be able to pay for his treatment He has been at the hospital nearly a month during which time medicine meals and board not to mention other services have been extended The hospital must stand this expense until Rose is in a position to pay his bil which he says will be some time The patient contends he was an emer gencj case and that as Congress Appropriates funds for such cases he should receive the benefit Rose Walks in Grounds For the first time since he was admitted to the Institution Rose yesterday walked about the hospital grounds He was accompanied by Dr William Carr under whose treatment he has recovered When he returned to the ward after two hours In the open he expressed himself fit to resume his duties at the Zoo Dr Carr however persuaded him to remain at the hospital several days longer Last night Rose said he would lose no time in getting back to work Dr Carr oeueves tne patient is out of danger and that If he takes care of himself he will run no chances of a relapse BODY OF MISS PAIR0 FOUND Harpers Headache Remedy Formerly caned
