Wright in his cot finds why he fell
Orville Wright, bandaged and in bed at Fort Myer, analyzes the crash that killed Lieut. Thomas E. Selfridge. He concludes a loose wire struck by the left propeller caused the blade to break, tearing the rudder and sending the aircraft to the ground from about seventy five feet. The army board later rules the accident resulted from propeller blade failure and wire contact.

Taft Foraker Plan May Be Abandoned
Hearst recalls choosing to back Bryan in 1896 after publishers pressured him to quit. He cites moneyed corruption and trust influence in government, argues Republicans and Democrats are swayed by corporations, and notes a $155,000 October 1896 deficit as he describes his political pivot.

Denials of Standard Oil ties to Democrats emerge
Archbold and Mack rejected Hearst charges that Standard Oil aided the Democratic party. Archbold denied any improper correspondence with Hearst and asserted prior relations with Senator Foraker were proper. He ridiculed claims of bribery involving ex-Attorney General Monnett and denied truth to links between Gov. Haskell and campaign funding. Mack likewise said no Standard Oil funds supported Bryan and that all money goes to the national committee. Gov. Haskell issued a statement denying involvement with Standard Oil cited by Hearst.
