TAFT coNGRATuLATEs.

Washington, d. c., July 2S,-A

only obstacle to Oryille Wright's
final test late this afternoon of his
aeroplane cross county flight with
one passenger from Fort Myer,
five miles distant, to Alexandria
and return at an average speed Of
forty miles an hour.
Washington, D. c., July 2S.-With
Frank P. Lahm as his tel
low passenger, Orville Wright, the
American aviator, broke the worlds
aeroplane record for two men in both
time and distance in their fight OF
one hour and twelve minutes and for
ty seconds at a speed averaging forty
miles an hour last night at Fort Myer
The former record was made last
year by his brother, Wilbur, at LIE
mans, France, with Prof. Painleve Of
the French institute as passenger
That fight was / hour, 8 minutes and
81 seconds.
The cheering which heralded the
setting of the new mark in the COZ
quest of the air was led by Presiden,
Taft.
The flight completed the first of two
crucial tests of their machine, tmpos
ed upon them by the government, the
Endurance Test which required one
hour continuously in the air with one
passenger.
Death at Last Attempt.
Poignancy was added to the
achievement by the realization tha1
upon Qrville's last attempt to navigate
the air with passenger, that passen
ger, Lieut.. Selfridge, was killed. anc
he himself terribly injured. Miss Kath
crime Wright, who nursed him through
the period of his recovery from tha
disaster, anxiously watched him from
the doorway of the shed where thu
aeroplane is kept, and when he re
turned unhurt from his flight, grippet
him eagerly by the arm, nestled hel
face against his breast, and said
"Bully for you, brother, 1t was beauti
full"
President Taft shook hands witt
both brothers, congratulated Orville
upon his success and declared 1t {
great exhibition. "You beat the worlds
record" remarked the president.

DEAD AT SPRINGFIELD

The body of Henry Mansheim, who
disappeared last Saturday from Fort
Madison, was found yesterday morn
ing near Springfield, Mo, and the
mystery of his disappearance is par
TALLY cleared up and the finding of the
body will probably lead up to an eX-
PLANTATION of his actions
Mr. Mansheim was forty years old
and single and had lived with his aged
mother, Mrs. Catherine Mansheim,
and one sister, on farm in Washing
ton township. He had been in poor
health for some time and it is thought
was in a demented state of mind
when he left. He walked to Fort Mad
ison Saturday morning and got check
cashed at the German-Amc lean bank.
Later he visited A. j. Hundts groc-
cry store on Second and Occidental
streets and in the afternoon purchased
ticket at the Kline station for Bur
| lington. 1t is evident, however, that
he did not go to Burlington, but prob
ably got on the south bound train at
noon without ticket
