PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR AGREEMENT TOMORROW SENATE HAS BRIEF MEETING, TREN , ADJOURNS COUNTY, AEIZONA, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1909 I OF FLIGHT WRECKS AEROPLANE OF GLEN H. CURTISS JOT ATTEMPT TO SOAR ALONE V CONFUSED BY STAGE FLIGHT WOULD-BE FLYER SITS LIKE MAN OF STONE AND LETS SHIP "FALL TO GROUND MEW yOHK, July 23. A frightened amateur sitting like a wooden man wont Up at lawji today iu Oleu H. Curtiss' acropInnejfWliich hovered for a minute iu midair and then crashed to the earth. Tho beautiful craft in which Cur tiss made his lemarkablc flight yester day was badly wrecked, and tho would bo aviator was lifted unconscious from tho twisted frame, his loft arm broken, his left thumb dislocated, his body bruised and his brain reeling. His in juries, however, aro not serious. The accident happened on Hempstead plain, Mineola, where Curtiss had been giving demonstrations to the New York Aeronautic society, to which he recent ly sold his aeroplane or $5,000. It was a member of the society, Alexander Wil liams, 42 years old, who was' injured. While Williams has driven many au tomobiles, is familiar with gas engines, and is something of1 a machinist, ho seemed to lose complete control of him self as the aeroplane soared upward, and when it had attained a height of thirty feet the craft careened sharply to tho right, swooped toward tho earth, and, striking on cud, turned completely over, then rolled on its back. Williams remained pinned to his seat until lifted out. Ho was delirious as a physician bent ovVrliim, and mutter ed that someone had Collided with him in tho air. Witnesses of tho accident said it was merely a case of a man attempting something which taxes the nerves of tho body, and tho brain simultaneously, and that Williams simply had "stage fright." His attompted flight followed a successful ono made by Edward Fos ter Willard of Now York city, also a member of tho Aeronautic society, who remained in the air for twenty-oight seconds, making a sdiort flight at an av erage height of twenty foot. Curtiss thon took tho machine and mado a good flight backto tho starting point cutting soveral sharp turns and ascending at one timo for moro than a hundred foot, then shooting swiftly downward until he was only thirty feet abovo the earth. Tho wittnessesof this birdliko drop, among them A. M. Herring, himsolf an areoplanist of note, say that it was ox tromely spectacular. Williams then took his seat in tho machine, and witli parting words of caution to keep it closo to tho ground started away. Ho had previously matched coins with Willard to decide who should moko tho first flight. Dur ing this ho evinced such nervousness that a member of tho party remarked that perhaps he had better not attempt to ascend. For some reason, howevor, littlo attention was paid to the inci dent. Tho aeroplane glided swiftly over the ground on its light-running wheels, then soarod gracefully upward. Williams mado no effort to manipulate tho rud der to keep tho craft from rising. Con sequently it began shooting upward, turning at the same timo toward the right liko a ship unstcerod. When it had attained a height of about thirty foot tho dip to tho right became danger ous and the aeroplane, reeling, began its fall. Tho descent was not rapid, but tho impact was sufficient to shatter a num ber of ribs, breaking both .tho loft and right wing. tips and tho front control. When it rolled over, tho engine contin ued to work and the propeller was shat tered as it struck the ground. A week's work at least will bo lequired to patch up tho flyer.
