WRIGHT SMASHES ALL RECORDS
His AerOplane at Fort Myer Re-
mains in Air Fifty-Seven
and Half Minutes.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Another record
breaking aeroplane flight was made by Or
Vile Wright at Fort Myer today. At 8:1j
o'clock in the morning he made the ascent,
rose easily in the air and Travelled with
perfect control. He circled above the play
grounds fifty-eight times, was In the air
fifty-seven minutes and thirty-one seconds,
his speed apIroximating thir y-six or thirty
eight miles an hour. This is stated to
smash all previous aeroplane records.
Mr.. Wright expressed himself as highly
pleased at what had been accomplished by
his machine and declared that had he
known that he YVES so close to being In the
air an hour he would have remained that
much longer. He said he came down be-
cause his motor slipped once or twice and
that he thought he had only been in the
air for half an hour. He promptly an
nounced that he would make another at
tempt later in the day, possibly not until
in the afternoon. Except for the slipping
of the motor no trouble whatever was ex-
perienced in the working OF the aeroplane,
Everything worked as smoothly as the
most perfectly adjusted clock and the man
who essayed TO beat all previous records
in this branch of a]eronautics handled his
invention with as perfect ease as a trained
engineer would handle the lever of his
locomotive,
To some of those who had been closely
watching the performances of the machine
the new record did not come as a com
plete surprise. Orville Wright has all
along expressed complete confidence in his
ability TO break all records and in his pre-
vious flights has pointed out that the prac-
tically perfect working Of his machine aug
ured the success which he purposed to
achieve. He did not even rest content with
his performance this morning, for imme-
diately after alighting he sent for more
gasoline and prepared for further flights.

EVERYBODY WEARS RED TAG
Thousands of Dollars Collected for
Clarkson Hospital Fund.
GREAT TRIUMPH FOR FAIR ONES
Given Key to the City and Hearts OF
People Women and Girls start
on Their Crusade for
Charity.

Tired, but happy, the tag ladies' fin
ished their day Wednesday with reasonable
assurance that their efforts will net 5000,
and possibly cover the desired $1,000, the
amount still to be raised en- the 10000
pledge of the Clarkson Hospital associa-
ton to the hospital building fund. The
money has not all been counted; in fact,
it is not all in yet, and the definite result
of the days work will probably not be
known until Thursday evening.
This key which l wish to give you is not
only the key to the city of Omaha, which
Is yours for the day, but 1t is also the key
which will unlock the hearts of all who be-
lieve in charitable work of this kind. This
key will unlock the hearts of all free givers
and all who have human hearts. Your
work is the highest form of charity and
may the great success 1t deserves crown
your efforts this day"
Mayor Dahlman in presenting the key of
the city to Mrs. +. H. Cole, president OF

speech at>the city hall soon after $50, and
Tag Day was 'on."

500 women, all dressed in white, each wear

fluttering badge bearing the ward Tag,

change for the red tag.
Fifty Thousands Tags Go. .r-r.
Before noon the greater part of the 5000.
tags that had been printed, fluttered from
the buttons and belts of men, women and
children. Everybody wore one and a big
smile of satisfaction as well. The direc-
tors room OF the United States National
bank had been turned over to the women

to count the money.

stores began the day with some equally
unique recognition.
Actors at Tagged.
Manager Byrne Of the Orpheum opened
his doors to the women, with the result
that everyone who appeared on the stage
afternoon and evening wore the red tag as
well as those down in the house.
One of the banner gifts OF the day was
that given one of the young women sta
toned at Fifteenth and Farnam.
Approaching a middle-aged man, making
her appeal and offering a tag, the man
asked what the money was for. When he
learned It was to go to the Clarkson hos

her one of a 500 denomination.
