WRlGHTS MEET ALL TESTS
Their AeropIane Carried a Passenger
In 1o-MiIe Cross Country Flight.

'''S
Orville Wright last week attained
the zenith of h%ard-earned success. In a
ten-mile -cross-country flight in the
aeroplane bull, by himself and his
elder brother, Wilbur, and accompanied
by Lieutenant Benjamin d. Foulois,
an intrepid officer of the army signal
corps, he not only surpassed the speed
requirements of his contract with the
United States government but accom-
plished the most difficult and daring
fight ever planned for a heavier-than-
air flying machine. incidentally, he
broke all speed records over a meas.
ured curse.
Wright's speed was more than AZ
miles an hour. He made the ten-mile
fight in II minutes and ~ seconds, in
GLIDING more than twenty seconds re-
quired for the turn beyond the line
at Shutter ill. the southern end of the
course. He attained a height in cross
ing the valley of Four Mile run of
"carly 500 feet. and the average alti-
tude of his practically level course was
about 200 feet.
Like a giant bird the machine swept
u~nswervingly straight to the south,
passing owe the diverse and heavily
wooded country In the distance until
it became n mere speck above the hor-
lion.
Those who had glasses saw the aero
plane turn, first to the left, then to
the right. above Shutter hill.
Suddenly the speck was lost to view,
and as the seconds passed, a silence
grew upon the crowd, a silence that
spoke of-deep concern Wilbur Wright,
standing with levelled glasses beside
his sister, strained his gaze in effort
to catch sight of the aeroplane when
1t should rise again above the sky
line. Seconds seemed minutes. and as
the interval became seemingly alarm
ing, his agitation was evident.
Suddenly the speck came in sight
again, over the distant hill. A FRY
swept over the watching crowd.
There IT is" everybody said and
the sigh of relief was plainly audible.
Onward the machine came, seem
ingly swerved from its course by Il
westerly breeze. Soon the aerial nrvi-
gators were home again over the drill
ground, flying very low. Orville steer
ed straight across the field, and at a
height of about twenty feet, swung
round again to the southwark, and
landed easily far down the field. The
task was done, and in triumph. Cheer
upon cheer welcomed the return.

hopes to obtain his release. Aside
from his testimony, a two-foot stack
Of canvas-bound books, labelled "Tht

of the murder trials-furnished all the
evidence introduced by Mr.. Jerome.
Mothers Testimony Used Against Him
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, as she sat
in court, saw Mr.. Jerome introduce
against her son testimony she had
willingly given heretofore to say his
life. 1t was seized upon by the state
to prove him insane. It included her
accounts of his nervous temperament
as n child, materially valuable to
Thaw when he was in danger Of the
electric chair but now menacing to
his hope Of proving himself a sane
man. One thing quoted by the district
attorney was her statement concern
ing Harry Thaw, that his body was
too puny for his head, and before and
after the measles he had st. Vitus'
dance"
DR.. Bakers testimony was read by
himself from his lease book" and de

and queer, or many occasions from

While some of these notes describe

the witness said that in his belief
Thaw was irrational now. Thaw's at.
