by Contact With Ground.
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.
BOMB FIEND IS CAUGHT
Felix Sharkey Tells About Many Ex-
plosions In Chicago.
: CHICAGO, June 90. Felix Sharkey, once
a terror to the police, but now crippled
and gray, today divulged all he knew of
. the long series of bomb outrages which
' have mystified the polloe of Chicago.
'State's Attorney Wayman, to whom Shar
j key told his story, laid an embargo of
silence upon the narrator and the police
" officials who were present at the lnter
view. Yesterday Sharkey refused to talk,
... but a night in jail conquered his stub
bornness. "Sharkey has changed his atory," said
: Wayman. "He has told all he knows."
, Sharkey, who la a former convict, waa
arrested here yesterday after the obtain
ing of Information that 25 pounds of dyna
, mite had been Bhlpped to him at Morgan
- Park.
INJURED ALL RECOVERING
; Men Scalded on Torpedo Vessel Re
ported Doing Well.
VALLEJO, Cal., June 30. Surgeons In
. attendance upon the five men scalded
by the explosion of a boiler tube on the
torpedo-boat destroyer Hull yesterday
believe that all the victims will recover.
B. F. King, the fireman, whose injuries
were at first believed to be fatal. Is rest
ing comfortably and the others are im
proving. The causa of the accident can only ba
conjectured in official Navy-yard circles,
but It Is generally believed that the tube
exploded under a heavy jar caused by
the vessel stopping to repair the damage
to her steering gear. No steps toward an
. investigation have yet been taken.

WELIi-IilKED OREGON CITS

OREGON CTTT, Or., June JO. Special.)
The First Baptist Church of Oregon
City will probably lose Its pastor. Rev.
" 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.

Crime Girl Had Just Written
to Friend, "I'm Still Alive"
When She Was Shot.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 80. "Dear
Emma: I am still alive ," wrote pretty
Caroline Brasch, cashier and bookkeeper
for Gray Brothers Company In the offlc
of the concern on the sixth floor of the
Wells-Fargo building shortly after 1
o'clock today, and before the sentence
waa finished she ro lying lifeless on
the floor, wantonly shot down. It is the
theory of the polloe, over the trifling
amount of o.75 In a tune check.
All afternoon and tonight scores of po
lice and detectives have searched the city
in vain ror J. ovak, a Slav quarry la
borer, suspected of the crime. The shoot
ing occurred in a populous office build
ing when the elevators and corridors
were crowded with persons, yet no one
saw the murderer enter or leave the
building.
Suspicion against Novak rests on nurelv
circumstantial evidence. . Two young
girls. stenographers In an adjoining
room, heard a man's vehement protest
in broken English over the deduction of
$5.75 from his time check as a board bill,
which was followed a few moments later
by the report of tho shot that ended Miss
Brasch's life.
While the building hummed with ex
citement J. Novak, a quarry employe of
Gray Brothers Company, walked Into tho
office of a collection agency several
blocks away and cashed a check from
which $5.75 had been deducted. The pos
tal card that Miss Brasch waa writing
at the time was addressed to Miss Emma
