1| of Limit. Thomas E. Sclfridge oi' the 1 signal corps ami serious injury of 1 Orvillo Wright, presented a cheerless \ aspect today. The air of gloom was i reflected in the faces of the brother i officers of the unfortunate lieutenant i when they met at the fort this morn- s ing to make an official investigation < of tlio accident, in the manner in < which the usual morning cavalry drill I was gone through with, over the | very ground upon which the ill-fated < aerial ship was wrecked. Lieut. Sclfrdigo's body was today re_ x I moved from the hospital at Fort Mey- 1 or to an undertaker's, wlicro it will ' remain until the arrival of the young officer's father, who wired today from San Francisco that ho would like to ' have his son buried cither at Arling- * ton or West Point. A military funeral will be held and burial rpobably will be at Arlington. Miss Catherine Wright, Mie sister of the injured aeropalnist, arrived hero from Dayton lliis afternoon and visited her brother. Octave Olianuto, a close friend and adviser of the Wright brothers, Charles li. Flint and C. 10. (| Taylor, and C. W. Furness, Orvillo Wright's mechanics;, were (lie only ' | other persons permitted to see him 0 today. . * Maj. (leo. O. Squicr, acting chief ' \ signal officer of I lie army, this morn| ing convened the board of signal offi- 11 cers for the purpose of making an 1 official inquiry into the death of Lieut. J Sclfridge. Maj. Chfirles McK. Snltz- ( I man acted as chairman and Capt. c ja Charley S. Wallace and Lieut. Frank v $| P. Lalim were the other members pres- ^ ^ ent. ' The wreckage of the aeroplane had ? been j)laced in the shed last night p' and thc'inembers of the board, accom- ^ } pained by Octave Chanute and Prof. Albert Zalim of the Catholic univer- a sity, both of whom are authorities on v aeronautics, inspected the tangled h , mass. It was seen that the broken j i piece of .the prope^er was indented v as though it had come in contact with f a wire. "During the inquiry several eye wit- J nesses were questioned, among them 1 being Dr. Spratt, who was present during the earlier experiments of the. Wright brothers in North Carolina, 1 Scrgt. Sweeney of the artillery corps, 11 Sergt. Downey of I he signal corps and v other members of the artillery, cavalry and signal corps who were among 0 the first on the scene. 1 li Maj. Squicr, as acting chief signal . oflicer, reviewed (lie findings of the ? court, which were given out by Maj. ^ Squicr as follows: "The board finds that, the accident which occurred in an unofficial flight made at Fort Meyer, Va., at about 5.18 p. m. on September 17, 1008, was due to the accidental breaking of a propeller blade and a consequent unavoidable loss of control, which re| suited in the machine falling to the | ground from a height, of about 75 feet. "The board finds that First Lieut. Thomas E._Sclfridge, First field artillery (attached to the signal corps by war department orders and assigned |{ to aeronautical duty), accompanied ( Air. Wright, by authority on the aeroplane, for the purpose of officially receiving instruction, and received injuries by the falling of I lie machine ' which resulted in his death." Contract Not Invalidated. i I he signal corps will proceed with | its aeronautical work and it is under| . stood the Wright brothers will be per| mitted lo make .their official trial | whenever they are ready, without en- | dangering their chance of receiving ? the contract price of $25,000 for their $ aeroplane. j Mr. Wright \s assistants, Taylor and j t Furness, took with them to the lios- 1 pital today two of the broken parts of the aeroplane; the piece of the propeller which gave the first indication | to the spectators that an accident had | occurred and-the attachment which held one of the controlling wires fast | to til - rudder. They showed these to < I Mr. Wright, who said to Taylor: "The machine was already recovering its balance wlici) it struck, and I | am sure if we had had 25 feet furth5 cr to go, we would have landed on the | skid without serious damage." Speaking for Air. Wright, Mr. Tayi lor later said: "The accident was caused by an I extraordinary vibration of wires run^ ning from the main planes to the I upper steel fitting of the rudder. This vibration was so great that it got in the range of the propeller and was | struck by the blade, cutting a deep IS gash in the edge of the propeller blade about four inches from the end. This caused the blade to break, Hie other blade of (lie propeller flew around and ii. struck Hie same wire, breaking it. This made Air. Wright, lose control of his rudder entirely and the loss of both blades of the propeller and tlio breaking of the planes. > I lerealized that something had lm >eued and tInmii'li( his trouble \v villi the transmission gearing, win s a Gross chain drive in a steer en ng. lie shut oil' power to stop t eniaining propeller, which tended iwing the machine somowhat, but t listanee to the ground was not gre snough to restore the e(|uilihriu! ttr. Wright endeavored to set I danes so as to describe a cireul ourse near the ground." Numerous telegrams of syinpatl vere I'eceived at the Fort Meyer In >ital today, but they were with lie rom Mr. Wright.
