WASHINGTON. d. c., July 2S.
In marvellous fight Of l hour
~, minutes and 40 seconds, dur
ing which time a distance of 90
miles was travelled, the record for
two men In an aeroplane trip for
both time and distance, was
broken last evening" Oryille
Wright was in charge of the aero
plane and the test was made at
Fort Myer. Accompanying The
aviator was Lieut.. Frank P. Lahn
|of 1.-The army signal corps.
The former record was made
last year by Wilbur Wright al
|Lemaps, France. The rate oi
spded madsA b. the aeropaAuksslas1
ntght was 40 miles an hour.
The cheering that heralded this
setting of a new mark In aerial
navigation was led by President
Taft, who was an intensely inter-
ested spectator.
The test means a great deal to
the Wrights as 1t completed the
FIRST of the two crucial tests i'm
posed by the United States gov
ernment. The endurance" test
required them to remain In the Dir
with one passenger continuously
for one hour.
ofville Wright exceeded this
TIME by nearly 10 minutes and
could have remained up longer,
but it was growing dark. The
average height of the machine
above the earth during the flight
was about so feet.

ing against the Spanish ruler, are
fighting with fanaticism born OF
the declaration of a holy war
against the Spanish and the train
ed troops at Melilla have met with
defeat after defeat In the various
engagements.
City in Hands of Mobs.
Indirect advices from Barcelona
show that terrible conditions OF
disorder exists there today and
that many persons have been kill
ed by the rioters. The city is
practically In the hands of mobe
of workmen who declared a gener-
al strike recently to show their
disapproval of the governments g
policy In Morocco.
All trains attempting to depart
from the city have been stopped
by the rioters, and the passen-
gers routed or killed. Several
trainse have been wrecked with
great loss Of life.
Telegraph and telephone wires
have been cut by the strikers.
Public feeling is at high pitch
here today and the outcome of the
cabinet meeting is awaited with
anxiety.

torious over the Riff tribesmen in
the battle at Melilla today, the
attacking Moors finally being
driven back. Both sides suffered

The city has won a complete
victory in its litigation over the
Nisqually power plant site and the
supreme court late yesterday dis
missed the appeal of the Nisqually
Power company and left Tacoma
free to go ahead with its big pro-
ject.
After the superior court here
refused to hear hte pleas of the
Nisqually Power company and
granted the city the right to con-
denim everything 1t wants. the MIS-
qually company appealed. The SUI
preme court has thrown 1t out CT
court entirely and all that remains
for the city to do is get the jury
together, try the case, pay what
the jury says is just and then go
to work building the plant.
Case Set for August IL.
And Judge Stiles is not wasting
any time on the proposition. The
Jury has been called for August
IL and by August 20 at least 1t
is expected the whole litigation
will be over and everything will be

ing on making the plant just as

river before he gets through. This
will give the city power for the
people and the residents OF Taco

Harry Thaw today, referring "a

District Attorney Jerome led M
to the subject of the testimony oi
Doorman Lynch of Tombs prison
to the effect that Thaw, while q
prisoner there, imagined that he
heard the voices of little girls in
the police station.

Thaw emphatically denied that
this was true. Upon hearing
Thaw's denial Jerome read a tran

Lynch when he appeared as a wit

That's rubbish" remarked
Thaw.
Witness Is Defiant.
A discussion arose over the al

Humel, which Thaw denounced.
The witness also denied that his
wife threatened to sue him for d.
vorce because of his fogging OF
girls.
Jerome asked him If he was
willing to have his wife take the
stand, waive her privilege, and tes-
Itify as to whether or not she had
threatened to sue him for divorce.
II will waive no privileges, an
