PROMISE OF BETTER TODAY. Circles Parade Ground at Fort Myer Scores of Times, Making Each Bound In About One Minute. Washington. July 20. If conditions ore favorable today the machine of the Wright brothers will bo given an other trial this afternoon, nnd Orville Wright promises to attain greater height, speed and distance than in his surprising ascensions of last night. Showing more confidence in himself than he has exhibited before this sea son, Orville Wright made two very successful flights in the aeroplane at Fort Myer, Va., last evening. The first flight lasted twenty-five minutes and eighteen seconds, during which tlmo the aviator circled the pa rade grounds, a distance of about flve slxths of a mile, twenty-flve and one half times. The second, which con tinued until darkness prevented Mr. Wright from remaining longer In the air, was of half an hour's duration, and twenty-nine and one-half circuits were made. Wilbur Wright, who carefully watched every movement of the ma chine, declared afterward that it had attained a speed of about forty-one miles :r hour. IIo said It had reach ed a he Jht of 150 foot. At the start on both occasions the machine rose easily and ascended to n height of a little over a hundred feet, where the aviator kept It on an even keel throughout each flight except at the turns of the elongated oval, where It tilted slightly to execute . the evolu tion. Mr. Wright would not say just when the official trials would take place nor when he would begin to make flights carrying another man as a passenger. When the first flight began a slight breeze prevailed. A crowd applauded the aviator as he returned to the start ing point after making the first cir cuit. Among the enthusiasts were Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and his sister, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, who Is a frequent attendant at the flights; Sec rotary of the Navy George Von L. Meyer and Brigadier General Crozier, chief of ordnance of the army. After making half a dozen circuits Mr. Wright soared up to ISO feel, when lie directed his course In a larger oval. The machine was under perfect control and deviated very little from tho fixed course. It continued steadily unni ic unci finished the twenty-fifth ' round, when tho machlue descended I gradually and made nn easy landing. J.he second illght was oven more successful than tho first. Mr. Wright maintained a higher level with the machine. He continued until he had covered twenty-nine laps and had beaten the time of tho trial ho had Just previously made. Upon landing the aeroplane struck several sharp rocks, but practically no damage was su. talned. Almost n dead calm prevailed, but darkness prevented a longer flight. At times scarcely any of the body of the aeroplane was visible to the spectators at the starting point. "Have you any ambition to cross tho English channel?" Wilbur Wright was asked. "No," he replied. "If I had I shou.'d have done it long ago." HUGHES TO ACT ON HAFFEN. New York's Governor to Leave Adiron dacks Tomorrow. Albany, N. Y., July 20. Governor Hughes will leave the Adlrondacks to morrow, coming to Albany to hold a hearing on tho report of Wallace Mac Farlane, commissioner, who found Louis F.

Won't Let European Bankers Gobblo Entire Railway Loan. Paris. July 20. The continental bankers who asked for an adjourn ment of the meetings of the Interna tional bankers to consult with their governments have delayed their an swers so long that there seems a strong possibility of the negotiations for American participation In the Man-kow-Szechuen railway loan of $27, 500,000 falling through. Should this prove the case America, it is understood here, will take up the matter with the Pekln government direct and insist on American bank ers being given a half shore of the loan for the Hnnkow-Szeehuen sec tion. The news from Pekin that Russia has informed China that the Russo Chinese bank expects a share in the loan Is not taken seriously here. It Is pointed out that Russia Is not a lend ing nation, but a borrower. Possibly, said an expert versed in eastern diplomacy, the continental financiers are using the Russian claim to in fluence China by the intimation that if American participation is allowed other nations will insist on a llko treatment.

Witness Says Sutton Fired Four Times at Brother Officers and Then Shot Himself In Bemorse. Annapolis, Md., July 20. The court of inquiry which is Investigating the cause of the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton heard the continua tion today of the testimony of Lieuten ant Robert E. Adams. Lieutenant Sutton's death on the night of Oct. 12, 1007, resulted from a pistol shot wound in the top of his head. The bullet afterward found within the skull was apparently from the same cartrldgo as is used in the regular 38 caliber service revolvers. Tlie previous investigation by the Naval academy authorities recorded Lieutenant Sutton as having commit ted suicide. Attorney Davis succeeded in bring ing out a number of discrepancies in Adams' testimony. What bearing these contradictions may have on Ad nms' future position in the case Is expected to develop more clearly to day. Lieutenant Koelker is an important witness, who has not yet been located. He left the service soon after the Sutton tragedy. Mrs. Sutton's counsel says that Miss Margaret Stewart of Pittsburg, the young woman who was with Sutton most of the evening before he met his death, might be called as a witness, j Miss Srowart is now in Canada, but , ner miner uhs recently Bulle lu uru j on her tlie advisability or nor tcsury Ihi;. - " -- Lieutenant Adams said that after a quarrel on the way homo from a dance that night between Sutton and Lieutenant Osterinan he went back to the scene of the fight to look for t his own coat. Ho said; "I started down the path mid had gone thirty or forty paces when I saw something white. It seemed to ' arise, and a voice said; 'That's that d Adams. I'm golug to kill you.' He fired. I ran at him. He fired again. We grappled. Ho fired a third lime and lilt mo In the finger. As we wheeled around I saw Roelker. There was a shot and I cried, 'My God, has he killed RnelkerV As I stood up there was a Hash, and I looked to - ward Sutton to see him prostrate nnd ovidenllv dead. "When Sutton was on tho ground," sn,i Lieutenant Adams, "I pushed his face into the earth with all my j strength to keep from seeing who it i ivna TTn ctvm.n'tnl fm lvn!lf- cnn. ' mwlu nnrt tkim nmn1 tr, wnnlrciii" "111,1 Mr. Sutton smell nf Honor?" asked Judge Advocate Leonard. "I was too excited to notice that," replied the witness. "Did you hit Sutton nt that time?" "Yes, I hit him when I first grnp- i pled with him," Adams said. Questioned by his own counsel, Ar thur E. Ulrney, Lieutenant Adams said that Lieutenant Utley dismissed the chauffeur and paid for the auto mobile the night of tho tragedy. At tho former hearing the testimony was to tho effect that Sutton hired the automobile nnd paid for it. Major Leonard asked the witness if he, Utley and Osterman were In uni form ou the night of tho shooting. Lieutenant Adams said they were in , fl . ,, locket uniforms ulur unIK ulue raess jaCKOt Uniiorms Is there any way, in your opinion, a man could carry a service revolver while In the mess uniform without It being in evidence?" asked Major Leon ard, "No, sir, I think not," Adams replied. Tho witness said there were four shots fired before Sutton flred the fa tal shot. Sutton had a service re volver in one hand and a smaller one in the other when he opened fire, the witness said. The third shot was flred from the large caliber service re volver, Adams said. He knew that be cause he was on top of Sutton nnd saw the flash at his side. "I wa3 under the impression that this shot with which Sutton killed himself was fired from the smaller re volver," the witness said. Lawyer Henry E. Davis, counsel for Mrs. Sutton, cross examined the wlt nes. Mr. Davis wanted to know if tho witness' relations with Sutton were always agreeable. Lieutenant Adams said he had little to do with Sutton. When ho first came to the academy in July, 1907, ho wns told that Sutton had placed the officers of tho day and other officers in such un dignified positions by making them dance by threatening to shoot at their feet that the marines had decided to have nothing to do with Sutton, the witness said. ' Asked by Mr. Davis if in his opin ion Sutton shot himself, Lieutenant Adams said he believed Sutton delib erately shot himself after lie heard some one say Lieutenant Roelker had been shot, nuc not a result of accident during the struggle.

All tho steam roads which terminate In Jersey City and Hoboken am contemplating the early electrification of their suburban lines, and before long all the suburban traffic entering New York will be car ried by electrically operated trains. As a result of this change in mo tive power local trains will bo run at shorter Intervuls and at 50 per cent higher speed than tho present local steam trains, and electrlu express trains may bo run at 25 per cent high er speed than the steam trains. By virtue of tho Hudson tunnel just oponed and the ones yet to'he complet ed all that section of New Jersey lying north of a line from Trenton to Asbury Park becomes physically part of New York city. In all that north ern portion of the state the opening GOVERNOR FRANKLIN FOKT. of the new system means new hours, new comforts, new enjoyments, new conditions of life and new homes. It briims the business man anywhere in the suburban district practically twen- ty minutes nearer his ollice in New !10" - ' "mi mMV ' ' and enables thousands to go further i ont lnto tllu cml,ltI'-v- In his address here nt tho formal opening Governor Fort dwelt upon the great growth that Is bound to fol low the opening of the tunnel In New Jersey. Ho said that tho greatness of I JeL'SCJ' City is HOW assured. StntO 1 1Ines nre now wiped away, he declar- ed. In tills connection ho called at tention to tho fact that all modern business has grown into Interstate Importance. President Taft wrote William G. Mc Adoo, president of the tunnel com pany, as follows: "I am sorry not to be able to be present on the important occasion as tho opening of the Hudson nnd Man hattan rnllrond tunnels under the Hud son river. It is nn engineering feat of vasi magnitude a monument to Amer ican enterprise. Such nn artery of travel and commerce eliminates the Hudson river as an obstacle to inter course between New York and New Jersey. Not only the people of these states, but the people of the country at largo who visit the metropolis will acknowledge their hearty gratitude to the energy nnd enterprise of those who have brought this great achievement to a successful issue."

Tariff Conferees to Gather at White House Board. WILL HEAR REPORT TOMORROW House to Take Up Urgent Defi ciency Bill Today, With Mem bers In Excited State Over Previous Tiffs. Washington, July 20. The house will start in at noon todny with tho urgent deficiency bill before it, tho members probably in no happy frame of mind, ns a result of tho many charges and personal tiffs Interrupted by adjournment. House leaders say the president has no doubt of votes enough in the house to pass such a measure as the tariff conferees have promised him, provided he would see to the passage of the bill. The attitude of tho senate sttIL gives him some concern, it is said, but he Is hopeful that even there members will bo willing to put matters to a vote without long filibustering or de bate. All of tho Republican members of the tariff conference have been In vited by President Taft to take din ner with him tomorrow night nt the AVhlto House. It Is assumed that he expects to be ready to report progress in getting votes for the abolition or re duction of duties on raw materials. When the conferees meet about the White House board It Is probable that tho president will be Informed just what concessions enn be made without jeopardizing the passage of the con ference report. Circulating about tho capltol is a persistent rumor that the president will not be satisfied with freo iron or? ni'd o'i am1 rMii'v-'' "jitls in hides and lumber. Many senators ap pear to believe that ho will insist upon ";ul'B -'"" "ulu '""lLU luu 'n,( "st . ,, T"ilt "m report of the conferees on tho AMrldi and Payne tariff bills will 1,0 I'fosented to the two branches of congress not later than Thursday or VrMnjr i the general opinion about uiu 1 1 1 n i i . House members generally nre pleas ed at the action of the conference com mittee on the tariff bill in agreeing to accept the senate's corporation tax amendment. Tho agreement was not reached, however, until after tho pro vision had been redrafted by the at torney general nnd many changes had been made. The most Important change was tho reduction of tho tax from 2 per cent on net earnings of corporations to 1 per cent. Tho corporation tax nmendment will take the place of tho house provision for an inheritance tax, which, accord ing to the agreement, will go out of the bill. Tho house transacted a general as sortment of business. It passed an omnibus bridge bill, then listened to an apology by Mr. Hobson of Alabama for having Inst February made some uncomplimentary statements about Ambassador O'Brien nt Tokyo and fur ther considered the urgent deficiency bill. There were several lively tilts, one of which culminated In an announce ment by Mr. Mncou of Arkansas that he would resign his seat If It could be proved that he was a legislative ob structor. The air was surcharged with crim ination nnd recrimination, but the mose serious discussion centered about Francis J. Heney, special assistant to tho attorney general. Chairman Taw ney of the appropriations committee made the statement that Mr. Heney had received during the last year $23,000 for services he did not ren der, Mr. Clark of Missouri went after the "scalps" of somo United States at torneys nnd without being specific alleged that a good many of them were Incompetent, necessitating the employment of special counsel to ren der their work effective. An nmendment was voted down pro hibiting the payment of nny part ot tho deficiency appropriation toward the employment of special counsel to assist in extraditing Delavan Smith of the Indianapolis News or Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World in connection with tho government's libel suits growing out of tho Panama ca nal purchase.
