new RECORDS FOR WRIGHT
AEROPLANlST REMAINS IN THE
AIR NEARLY TWO HOURS.
Next He Ascends $50 Feet-DoubIe
Triumph of American Cele.
brated by Banquet.

LIE Mans, France, Dec. 19.-Wilbur
Wright, the American aeroplanist of
Dayton, o., established a new worlds
record for heavier-than-air machines
Friday while trying for the Michelin
cup, remaining in the air 1 hour, SO
minutes and So seconds. The best
previous record is 1 hour, 81 minutes
and 81 seconds, made by Mr.. Wright
September 81.
The aeronaut attained an average
height Of "a feet and the distance was
officially measured at 1872 miles,
which does not include the wide
sweeps and turns made during the
flight. He descended only because the
oil-feeder got out of order.
Mr.. Wright closed a triumphant day
by achieving another record, flying to
a height Of $50 feet in a strong wind
and winning the Sarthe Aero clubs
prize for height. At first it was
thought that the violence Of the breeze
would compel MI. Wright to postpone
his effort, but, undaunted, he launched
his machine and circled around and
around the field.
When soaring at 80 feet a sudden
gust of wind caught the aeroplane
sidewise, causing it to plunge violently
backwards. The spectators were terri
fed, but Mr.. Wright remained upper
turbed and soon righted his craft.
At the end of ten minutes the wind
had moderated and the aeroplane
scared upward and passed high over
a line of captive balloons marking a
distance of 300 feet. Then it descend
ed and after again circling the field,
was brought to earth, landing in front
OF the door of the shed in which it is
housed.
The Aero club Friday gave a ban
quet to Mr.. Wright in celebration of
his double victory.

KILLS GIRL WHO REJECTS HIM.
Brutal Murder by Young Man In
~Somerville, Mass.

Somerville, Mass, Dec. 19.-Enraged
because his former sweetheart, Miss
Maud Hartley, had rejected him, James
B. Harmon, the 18-year-old son of Po-
lice Sergeant James M. Harmon, shot
and killed her on the street here Fri
day. Miss Hartley was Of the same
age as her slayer, and was the daugh-
ter OF Mrs. R. Agnes Hartley, a physi-
clan.
When Miss Hartley fell, Harmon
lifted the body and threw it on the
steps OF a nearby store with the re-
mark: There, I've finished her." He
then fled, but half an hour later u
rendered to the police. Miss Hartley
had recently informed Harmon that
she did not care for his attentions be-
of certain bad habits she heard
the boy had acquired.
