ORVILLE STILL CONFIDENT I Aviator Says Repairs Are Eay and Will Try Again Weak Engine I. Blamed for Accident to Big Air Machine. lUfDinuTArDnm Aiir I WASHINGTON. June 80. Insufficient power -warn responsible for the misbeha vior of the Wright aeroplane today at , Fort Myer. The first flight attempted by Orvlll-s Wright resulted In slight damage to the machine, and ended the , experiments for the day. Ita duration mi about SO seconds. Mr. Wright aald the machine would be '. ready for another trial tomorrow, and that more power would be used. The aeroplane glided down the starting rail , at 6:48 o'clock and flew to a height of about 15 feet for the length of the drill grounds. It was evident that It waa working much better than yesterday. As he neared the southern end of the Held. Orvllle lowered the left wing and :. raised the right one. The machine be- . pan to make the turn gradually, but It had gone around only a few feet when It seemed to lose equilibrium. When a little more than half way around, the left wing struck the earth and brought the machine to the ground with consid erable force. Upon examination It was ' found that the right skid was broken near the forward end and that a few wires had been Jerked loose. The machine was returned to the aero- ' plane ahed. Orvllle Wright explained that the motor did not seem to be gen- eratlng enough power to take the ma chine around the turn. He thought the damage could be repaired easily and In time to enable him to attempt a flight to morrow afternoon. Among the spectators were a number of Senators, who neglected the tariff de bate to be present. RUSSIA TO RULE FIRMLY Will Pour Soldiers Into Persia Until All Uprising Is Pnt Down. ST. PETERSBURG. June 80, The oc cupation of Teheran, Persia, by a Rus- alan military expedition Is regarded in . well-Informed circle as a distinct prob- ability of the near future. ' The latest advices received here from Teheran Indicate that the British and 'Russian Consuls sent out to negotiate with the leader of the Bakhtlarl forces advancing against Teheran from the , south, failed to obtain the desired prom . lse that the march would be stayed and that the Bakhtlarls, who are acting in - complete accord with the Caucasian , and Persian revolutionists, are expected shortly to resume the offensive from ; Kasbln. The Russian Foreign Office considers that the entrance of the Bakhttaris into Teheran would cause street fight ing and pillaging and endanger life. The government will, if necessary, un dertake any measures that may be re quired for the protection of Russian lives and Interests. The crisis la ex pected to come to a head within a fort night. The Foreign Office has a very poor opinion of the motives of the so-called Liberal forces of Persia. Many of the leaders, they say, are actuated more by a desire for loot than liberty.

" y. - Ir- r Rev. John M. Llndrn, Faator of Orenou City Hapttnt Church, Who May Join Billy Sunday. John M. Linden, who has received an of fer few clergymed would resist. He has been Invited by the evangelist, "Billy" Sunday, to become his first assistant In the work Sunday Is doing all over this country. Mr. Sunday begins his work this year about August 20 at Boulder, Colo. Eighteen years ago, while connected with the mammoth store of Marshall Field & Co., In Chicago, Mr. Linden used to do street work with Sunday, Inviting men to the meetings of the Youne -Men's Christian Association, of which Mr. Sun day was secretary of religious work. Friendship formed then was never broken. In 1894, Mr. Linden left business to pre pare for the ministry and Sunday went Into evangelistic work with Dr. Chap man. It was primarily through the ef forts of Mr. Linden that Sunday came to Portland a few months ago. Recent developments In Mr. Linden's work here have shown clearly his ability as an evangelist. Sunday has recognized his gifts and has chosen him out of a great many men who were anxloua for the position. The First Baptist Church of Oregon City during the two years of Mr. Lin den's pastorate has doubled Its member ship and has trebled Its finances for cur rent expenses and missionary enterprises. If Mr. Linden accepts this offer from his friend "Billy," he will probably re sign his Oeegon City charge to take ef feet July 81.
