TEAR. WHOLE NO. WARREN, TUESDAY, JUNE 39, 1909. PHICE TWO CEHTS. STRONG WIND STOPS FLIGHT Wright Brothers Refuse to Fly Aeroplane.

MANY DISAPPOINTED Weather Conditions at Fort Meyer were Not Favorable and Experiment was Postponed. WASHINGTON, June to a strong wind prevailing Monday afternoon the Wright brothers failed to make their expected initial aeroplane flight of the year at Fort Myer. They thus gave further evidence of' their disregard for public criticism when the caution they exercise in all of their aviation work dictates such a course. Although the Senate hid set aside the tariff bill to allow its members to witness a flight of the aeroplane and together with some several thousand others sizzled in the hot sun on the Fort Myer drill grounds, the Wright-; decided that the wird was too st jng and too uncertain for a lligiit with a new and untru'd mneh'ue. Fully expecting to m.ikj preliminary trill of me llyiug ruachuu Orvilij Wright ear'y notified General James Allen, the chief signal officer that he intended to make an unofficial trial flight after 4 o'dBkck Monday afternoon.

As a result long before the hour named a large crowd of people went out to the army post on the Potomac opposite Washington. At 3:30 o'clock the field cleared'' by a aquad of cavalry and everything made ready for a flight. A little earlier Orville had come to Washington to meet his father, Bishop Milton Wright, of Dayton, and his brother, Reuchlin, of Kansas, who has never seen his brother's Wilbur Wright carefully inspected the starting track and the two brothers, with their mechanic Taylor, made a UH- al examination of the aeroplane which was then wheeled across the field from the shed to the starting apparatus at the northern end of the field. It was then 5 o'clock and a brisk had sprung up from the west. Heavy storm clouds appealed upon tue horizon and when a few scattered of rain began to fall the crowd liegan to fear that conditions were not favorable for a flight.

The word came, however, that Orville did not mind flying in the rain but that the wind was the objectionable feature. Then the clouds veered to the south and the wind died out. Everything appeared to be in readiness for the fiial when a fresh wind began blowing from the south. The wind having shown no signs of abating at 6:30 o'clock, Wilbur turned to Taylor, the Wright's mechanic, and said: "Well, I guess ycu bad better run her back to the ihed." Greatly disappointed the crowd then dispersed. Wilbur explained that the machine was a new one and that they never made a flight in an untried machine until it had been tested in the best possible weather.

Unless the air is calm, you-can't tell whether the machine is erring, or whether little fault is caused by the wind," he added- He said they would make a flight as soon as ideal weather conditions presented an opportunity.

SHARON, June for damages for alleged breach of promise and an additional suit for larceny will be started in a day or two by Miss Nellie Elliott, the daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth A. Elliott, 3 South Water street.

Adam Millsop, who has wooed her for the past six years and recently got her consent to a marriage, will be the defendant in the suits, Miss Elliot says. Miss Elliott dramatically tells a story of how Mr. Millsop had won her heart, and then had broken it on the eve of their contemplated marriage. She said she had known him for the past six years, and during that time she steadfastly refused the attentions of many other admirers. "He always appeared true to me and resented any intrusion by any other fellow," sobbed the frail little girl as she told her troubles in a straightforward manner.

Continuing, she said: "Three days after last Memorial Day, Mr. Millsop ciime to me and put a pretty diamond on the third finger of my left hand, at the same time telling me that we would soon be married. The ring was a very pretty ono, but it was a little too big. I took it to the jeweler of whom it was purchased, and told me it was a 4 size diamond and was quite a bit of money. He ad- vmed me to let Mr.

Millsop get it fixed, so that if anything was wrong he wouldn't blame me. I wanted him to get it fixed, but he always put roe off. weeks later he visited me. We spent a pleasant evening together, but I saw that something was wrong with him. I suspected trouble and wanted liim- to take the ring, but he refused.

I had it otl' my hand for a moment and laid it on the sideboard. Then he grabbed it and quickly left the house. Since that time I have not seen him." Millsop is a popular rootorman in the employ of the local street car company. On Friday evening of last week, Miss Elliott says, he gave out a story in which he stated that he would leave for Chicago in a few weeks to marry a girl out there. He said he had made her acquaintance a little more than a year ago while ou a trip through the West.

Mias Elliott's first intimation of such an occurrence was when she read the article in the papers. She is now determined to seek balm for her broken heart and has retained the services of Attorney Fred Service. She says that action will be started tomorrow.

SHE SAYS RELIGION; HE SAYS IT'S DRINK San Francisco Man and Wife Make Counter Charges. SAN FRANCISCO, June J. Roche accuses his wife.

May with being a drunkard. She accuses him of having four ifhgions in as many Between the sordid intemperance of intoxication and the distracting intemperance of hallelujah fanaticism the c-ourt must thread its way to determine the truth, and grant a divorce to the least guilty. For be it known that in her answer filed Roche sets that her husband has fried to diag her after him into the Salvation Army, the Penie! Mission, the Seventh-Day Adventists and the Holy Rollers. She has refused to become a Roller, of whom lie proclaims himself one of the most iioly, and there, she says, is the rub. fie would get rid of IHT.

The wife admits a she has been arrested on charge-, of drunkenness, joth in San Rafael and in Sail Francisco, and that for night after night she emained away from Home when five children needed her care. But she denies that she was intoxicated, as Roche claims. She explains her arrests as being part of hi- plot for divorce, and says she stayed out because he was cruel and she feared he would carry out threats and kill her. His charge that she has been habitually intemperate in drinking for more than a year she brands as a lie. But religion--too much and too var- ecl and vigorous--is at the bottom oi their troubles, in her opinion.

The Sal- tation Army was not so bad, but she did not care for the Peniel Mission, which was his next step. The Seventh- Jay Adventists gave him a chance to quit work 011 Saturdays, but she stood ven that. It was when he got into Holy Rolling circles that she re- used to follow the quick-change pro- ram. He might roll and shout all he jleased. She would have none of it.
