Orville In Two Surprising
Flights Shows Speed.
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.

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. Haffen, president of the bor
ough of the Bronx, guilty of charges
of misconduct which should subject

Seattle. Ho expects to return about

Glngles Case at nn End,
Chicago, July 20. Tho Jury in the
Ella Gingles case returned n verdict
of not guilty and at the same time ex

Miss Gingles accused of immoral con
duct. . .
AMERICA TO COMPEL CHINA.
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.

Lieutenant Adams Tells of
Pistol Shooting.
TANGLED IN HIS TESTIMONY.
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.

STATE LINES WIPED OUT.
Governor Fort Predicts Great Things
From New Hudson Tunnel.
Jersey Clly, July 20. 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

As a result of this change in mo

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.

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

Hudson river as an obstacle to inter

acknowledge their hearty gratitude to
the energy nnd enterprise of those who
have brought this great achievement
to a successful issue."

CULLED J TAFT.
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

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.
