    THE CITIZEN, Fill DAY, JULY 30, 1009.
WRIGHT OH
Completes One Government
Aeroplane lest.
TAKES PASSENGER WITH HIM.
Orville Stays Up One Hour and
Twelve Minutes, Breaking His
Brother Wilbur's World's
Record Easily.
Washington, July JS. The world's
iierophuii' record for two men, as to
both time nnd distance, was broken In
a beautiful (light of 1 hour l'J minutes
40 seconds, tiding upward of fifty miles
nnd nt n speed averaging about forty
miles an hour, by Orville Wright at
Fort Myer, wltii Lieutenant Frank I'.
Lnhm of the army signal corps as pas
senger. The former record was made last
year by Ids brother Wilbur, joint In
ventor with him of the machine in
which both achievements were per
formed, at I.e Mans, France, with
l'rofessor I'alnlevp of the French in
stltue as passenger.
That night was 1 hour I) minutes .11
seconds. Wilbur was an eager spec
tator of the lliglit by his brother.
This success was all Important to the
Wrights In that it completed the first
LIEUTENANT FKANK P. LAIIM.
of two crucial tests of their machine
imposed upon thum by the United
States government the so called "en
durance test" which required them to ;
remain one hour continuously In the 1
air with one passenger. j
Orville did nearly thirteen minutes
better than that and could have kept
on for three hours and a half, the lim
it imposed by the gasoline capacity
of the supply tank.
The oilier test, that for speed, will
be complied with today, weather per
mitting, when Orville Is to take Lieu
tenant llenjamln Foulols of the signal
corps on a cross country lllght to Alex
audrla and return, a total of ten miles,
over a measured course and a speed
required to average forty miles an
hour,
Orvllle's flight would have carried
him almost twice across the English
channel.
Interest was added to the achieve
ment of Orville Wright by the realiza
tion by everybody present that upon
his last attempt to navigate the air
with a passenger, that passenger, Lieu
tenant Selfrldge, was killed and he
himself was terribly Injured.
His devoted sister, Miss Kntherlnt.
Wright, who nursed him through the
period of his recovery from thnt disas
ter, anxiously watched him from the
doorway of the shed where the uero
plane is kept, and when he returned
unhurt from his lllght gripped him
eagerly by the arm, nestled her face
against his breast and said:
"Bully for you, brother. It wns
beautiful."
Mr. Taft, who had wnlted for him
at the end of the parade ground, took
him warmly by the hand and with the
other grasping thnt of his brother Wil
bur said:
"I congratulate you heartily, sir. It
was a great exhibition. You came
down as easily and gracefully as you
went up. You beat the world's rec
ord." "Yes, sir," replied Orville, evidently
embarrassed, "I beat my brother's
record."
Tho president and everybody in the
crowd about joined in tho laughter at
this sally.
"How did your passenger conduct
himself? Did he talk to the motor
man?" asked the president.
"He behaved very well," replied the
aviator.
LATHAM ALMOST FLIES OVER.
Was Beating Blerlot'e Speed When
He Fell Into English Channel.
Dover, England, July 28. Hubert
Latham's second attempt to fly across
the English channel ended disastrous
ly. Almost In tho moment of victory
his monoplano fluttered into tho sea,
two miles beyond the Admiralty pier,
like a bird with a broken wing.
Thousands of people crowding the
waterfront saw tho fall and for nearlj
half an hour they were kept in bus
penso, not knowing whether the dnrlnp
aeronaut had met death or had again
been rescued from death In the water.
A flock of large and small craft
raced to the scene of the disaster and
a pinnace from the Itrltlsh battleship
Ilussell picked up tins unlucky filer
and put him aboard the Freuch tor
pedo boat destroyer Kscopette.
After n surgeon had attended to his
Injuries the destroyer brought Latham
ashore nnd he wns taken to the Lord
Warden hotel. Ills face was battered
and bleeding nnd his nose was broken.
The machine, badly wrecked, was
hoisted from the boat to the dock.
Latham's flight to the moment of Its
sonsntlonnl linish eclipsed Illerlot's In
some respects. Ho made greater speed,
being only twenty minutes In the air
from the time ho left the coast of
Franco. Apparently he steered n
stralghter course than IUerlot, as he
was making directly for Dover when
he fell.
Stays Up For Hour and a Half.

M. Sommer made an aeroplane flight
here of one hour, twenty-three minutes
nnd thirty seconds.

bodies of troops. Several persons have

all communications have been de
stroyed. The food supplies have been
cut off, resulting in great hardships
and suffering, especially among the
poor. The prices of the necessities ol
life are almost prohibitive.
The strikers cheer tho soldiers, but
have attacked tho police of Barcelona
nnd suburbs. Several serious engage
ments have occurred between the po
lice und the rioters, and the former
have not hesitated to use their pistols
freely. As a result many innocent pe

long session and decided that the situ
ation In Catalonia Is so grave that it
necessitates the proclaiming of martial
law at Tarragona and Geroua, In addi
tion to Barcelona. King Alfonso was
not present at the meeting, he 'having
returned to Sau Sebastian from Fcr
rol. A special dispatch from Ceuta says
a steamer from Tangier reports that
2(i() IflfC tribesmen embarked at Al
giers for Tetuan. They took posses
sion of the ship and threatened to kill
the captain and crew unless ho pro
ceeded to Tangier.
Off Tetuan tho captain signaled for
help, and soldiers from that place came
aboard, but as they were unarmed the
Moors (julckly overcame them. Then
with knives at his throat they forced
the captain to continue to Tangier,
where they disembarked and made
their escape.

ment around Melilla was most drama
tic. The Spanish regiment was deci

geant obeyed the order. He closed his

heart
Estimates of the Spanish losses have
beeu raised to 400 killed or wounded.
The mountain passes are filled with the
bodies of Moors, over which jackals
and birds of prey fight. According to
advices received here the tribesmen
are armed with rifles of tho lntest pat
tern and have plenty of ammunition,
indicating that a huge contraband
trade has been going ou.
