Twice Describes Figure "S, " Showing His Perfect Con- trol Over Movements
 Of Aeroplane.
AGAIN BREAKS RECORD
Flies One Hour and Ten Minutes, Making New Mark for Distance and Time--Speed 39.5
 Miles an Hour.

Washington. Sept l1.--rn a flight lasting ono hour ten minutes and twen- ty-six seconds. Orvile Wright late to- day surpassed all his previous exploits for time and distance flight for heavi- er-than-air machine Two flights were made at Fort Myer. Va, today. the first being of ten minutes and fifty sec onds duration to show at what rate of speed he had been traveling during his long flights of the past three days. To- days test demonstrated. according to the aviator's calculation, that the speed O. the aeroplane during the record breaking flights of Wednesday and Thursday was 3a5 miles an hour.
 Mir. Wright arrived at the testing grounds at Fort Myer at o'clock and immediately prepared 10 make a flight.
 The weather conditions were ideal, Before making the first flight, Mfr. Wright said;
 q want to make flight of about ten minutes in order to see how my present speed compares with what made at Kitty Hawk N. c. have a time and distance apparatus attached to the aeroplane but as it registers only ten kilometres without repeating. I have to make short flight to deter mine the speed at which the machine travels through the air"
 q Starting at Al the aeroplane made nine rounds of the drill grounds and then. landing within few feet of the thousand or more spectators Mfr. Wright computed the speed of his rec ord breaking flights.
 "The annemometer registers 11.44 Kilometres said he. making the speed little over 37 miles an hour. We made 4 miles an hour at Kittyhawk with a little less power. Of course the turns there were much longer and therefore did not impair the speed as much as the runs make here but had no idea there was such great difference. Later Mir Wright found that he had niiscslculated the speed and as finally computed. the speed was announced as 3a5b miles an hour To those who have witnessed Mir. wright's flights from the beginning. the results. marvellous as they are. are now regarded as matter of course. but the majority of those who witnessed today's long flight were reused to great enthusiasm when the aviator for the third success sve day broke his best previous rec ord. Fifty-seven times the machine passed over the starting point during the 70 minutes and 26 seconds that 1t was up Twice the aeroplanist de- scribed the figure "s'' showing for the first time during his Fort Meyer flights that he could control his machine in any direction A feature of the land ins was that he did not stop the mo- tor until the machine touched the ground
 Before making another ascension at Fort Myer. Mir Wright will make a few changes in his machine to secure greater speed

Investigation Shows That Pro. hibition Has Not Increased
 Use of 0piates.
HEALTH BOARD STATEMENT
Assertion of Commissioner Wright Re- garding Former Drunkards
 Is Disproved.

Portland, Me, Sept. 11.-A statement, denying the assertions of Commission CT Hamilton Wright of Washington. sent out in a press dispatch early in August that lin Maine, in the country districts, opiates are used considera- bly,. particularly among former drunk ards. who. because of the fact that prohibition prevails. have been depriv- ed of whiskey,' and giving the result of his investigations in every city and county in the state. was issued today by Dr. A. c. Young of Augusta. secre- tary of the state board of health.
 This assertion, it seemed to me- said Dr. Young was unture and this opinion, If thus publicly expressed. af- ter so slight and restricted an investi- gstlon as could be made in a visit to Portland. was unfair to this state. l had been asked by Mir Wright to fur nish him information on the question O. the use and the abuse of opium in Maine, but before could do more than make beginning. this newspaper item appeared. Letters were sent 10 phy- sicians in various parts of the state and to druggists in every city and county in the state.
 This inquiry brought out the fact plainly enough that in our state gen. erally there Is no large usage or abuse of the opiates. that the use and abuse are not on the increase that on the other hand, many of my correspondents state positively or that lt Is their opin. ion, that the use of opium and its de. rivatives is on the decrease"
 Commissioner wright made his In. quiry for the American commissioner as to the use of opium and It's pro ducts.
