ENGINEERS FAVOR
MARE ISLAND YARD
Navy Department Advisers Be-
Iieye Channel Should Be Main-
tanned at Required Depth
Board to Compile Information
for Enlightenment of Con-
gress in December
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.=There prob
ably viii be detailed before congress
meets in December a board of naval
officers to compile information for the
guidance of the navy department and
the enlightment of congress in regard
TO Mare island navy yard.
1t has been pointed out to the navy
department by a board composed OF
army engineers and civil engineers of
the navy that Mare island need not be
abandoned; that it will cost about $20,-
coo year to maintain the required
depth of the channel after improve
ment is once installed; that the ad-
vantages of keeping Mare island and
developing that plant are greater than
any other project which contemplates
giving up Mare island or establishing
another yard in San Francisco bay.
1t is practicable, according to some
of the officers who have given atten-
ton 70 the subject, to have a dock yard
which shall be separate from the Mare
island plant. This will be for the ac-
commodation of the largest ships of
the navy, but there is no special value
in having two repair stations in San
Francisco bay when the small expense
of maintaining a proper channel depth
in the approaches to Mare island would
put that yard in condition to meet all
the demands upon such station.
There is destined to be during the
next session of congress more or less
discussion concerning the establish
ment of third navy yard or naval
station on the Pacific coast.
1t is too early to predict the policy
of the navy department. but conserva-
tive naval view is in favor of develop
ing the plants at Bremerton and VAL
lejo, instead of establishing a navy
yard at San Diego or any other place
Mare island and Puget sound yards
can be developed to meet all the needs
of the service in the way of repair and
construction of ships. The navy depart
ment probably will prefer to devote
its influence with congress in behalf
of getting liberal appropriations for
the maintenance and Improvement of
the Bremerton and Vallejo plants, in
stead Of seeking funds for the estab-
lishment of an additional navy yard.

WRIGHT MAKES HIS
LONGEST FLIGHT
American AerOpIanist Nearly
Equals Worlds Record and
Trip Is Highly Satisfactory
Second Demonstration Spoiled
by Accident to One OF
the Wings

LEMANS. Sept 5.-Wilburg Wright
the aeroplanist of Dayton. o., made a
magnificent and highly successtH
fight here this morning His maenlhe
was in the air for 10 minutes - -
seconds. thus approaching within q
fraction of a minute Henry Farmans
record for the longest public onciai
flight.
The distance covered by Wright was
not accurately measured. but IT Is esu-
mated at between 141@ and 10 miles
The feat was accomplished on tne
field of Auvours and was accompanied
by a remarkable series OF evOlutlons
demonstrating the precision OF
Wrights control of the machine.
When he alighted easily within 900
feet of his starting place the American
aeroplanist was overwhelmed WILD
congratulations. He said he couid
have remained in the air longer, but ne
descended on account of an abnormal
noise in the motor.
NJ. Boulee, who timed the flight. esti-
mated that the average height or the
aeroplane was So feet and that It's
speed exceeded 81 miles an hour
After readjusting his motor, Wright
prepared for another flight In the
meantime, however. a strong wind had
arisen, blowing at times as high as a
miles an hour. Nevertheless Wright
launched his machine and the aero
plane sailed along nicely until he
reached a point opposite a group OF
trees, when heavy gust OF wind
threatened to drive him into the
branches. To avoid this Wright turned
his machine sharply. but he had lifted
the right wing too much and the left
wing came in contact with the ground
This brought about a repetition OF the
accident of August %, when the dell
cate frame work was deranged and
torn from similar cause. Wright was
not hurt He AM 0unced that he would
be able to resume his flights next week
