WONDERFUL SHOWING
IS MADE
ORVILLE WRIGHT GIVES DEMON
STRATIoN THAT is AL
.... MOST MARVELLOUS.

Washington, July 20 Establishing
a new record for aviation in America,
| OrVilla,. Wright, in the Wright aero
plane today at Fort Myer, made a
1 spectacular flight Of one hour. 20 min
utes and 45 seconds duration. The
longest previous flight was IA minutes
made by Mr.. Wright at Fort Myer
last fall
Several thousand people saw the
most daring feat of aviation yet ac-
complished. The machine Travelled
about 70 miles, it was estimated by
Wilbur Wright, and at one time dur
ing the flight the height attained, be-
tween 26O and $50 feet, exceeded the
highest point ever reached by a heay-
ler-than-alr machine on this conti-
nent. The most wonderful part of the
flight was the execution of three
complete Figure eights.' The machine
started at 6:20 O'Clock After travelling
several hundred feet only about five
feet from the ground, the aeroplane
rose gradually to rs feet before max
ing the first turn. After passing the
starting point the aviator sent the
machine up on each turn to about $50
feet, which was maintained until to-
ward the end of the flight. When
making turn on the sixth round of
the field the aeroplane began fitting
preceptiby, but Mr.. Wright brought
it on an even keel before reaching the
third turn.
After he had been in the air half
an hour making a complete round of
the field each time, Mr.. Wright ma
neuvered the machine through sew
eral small circles, some not more than
500 feet in diameter.
After circling the field "a times the
machine started cutting the Figure
eight" much to the delight of the
crowd. The aviator started to make a
showing in regard to height. The are
oplane rose on each lap until it was
between 260 and $50 feet in the air
AT this altitude the machine flew half
"a dozen rounds and then gradually de-
scended. On the last lap before the
landing MIR, Wright approached with
in 20 feet of the earth and made &.
successful and easy landing after
completing SO rounds of the field.
Mr.. Wright met every requirement
set forth by the government, except
that of carrying one passenger and
making the five-mile straight away
run. Both of these requirements prob
ably could have been met, but it is
the brothers intention to get their
in perfect condition before
attempting the officials flights.
Working Better.
The Wrights declared the machine /
is working better, but that they want !
to have seevral more trials before the
officials test Wilbur Wright, replying
to comment that the flight today |
would have covered the width of the
English channel, which Herbert La
than unsuccessfully attempted to /
cross yesterday. said it would have /
been possible for his brother to cross
from France to England and to return
to France again without landing. He
also remarked that it would have been |
easy to continue today's flights as far
as Baltimore.

of w. {. Wells on the charge of hav-

As Result of Deadlock Caused by At

Washington, July 2o-The tariff bill
was today transferred bodily from the

become convinced that he is i'll the
minority, the conferees abandoned tile

Some Trouble.

Nevertheless there has been trouble.
Some say that the differences between
Senator Aldrich and Mr.. Payne have
taken such form that progress Is inn
possible unless the president has in
fluenee enough to compel action 1T
Is not denied that there was d clash
yesterday between Representative
Payne and Representative Forenev Of
Michigan.
From credible source It was
learned that a crisis was reached when
an effort was made late yesterday to
vote on lumber Mr. Payne protested
and argued that such a move would be
unfair to the president. as this was
one of the subjects practically sub
mitted to him for adjustment. provided
he could get votes enough in the two
houses to adopt compromise rates.
If we cannot agree, let's settle the
question by voting Mr.. Fordney is
reported to have suggested 1t is said
Mr.. Aldrich acquiesced.
That Mr.. Payne had little part in Sc

Payne Protests.

When Fordney said Lets vote" Mr.
Payne protested with Il vel1emence that
startled his associates. Someone said
that the majority should rule. That
remark, it is declared, came from one
of the senate members of the confer
ence, and it incensed Mr.. PAYNE still
more. Mr.. Payne told Mr. Aldrich that
he could vote the senate members of
the conference il he chose. but that
he could not vote the house members
so easily. Full of wrath, he told his
house colleagues that it was their duty
to stand for the house bill Mr.. Payne
is reported to have said that he would
not sign Il conference report merely
because majority OF the house re-
publican conferees had agreed 10 it.
Then he stalked angrily from the room.
The % republicans of the house who
called Oh President Taft recently to
plead with him to recede from his po-
sition in favor of raw materials were
considerably alarmed when they
learned of Chairman Payne's action.
The possible attitude Of the house dem
ocrats interested them greatly. 1t was
said that if President Taft and Repre-
sentative Payne were successful in OBJ
tanning a conference report carrying
out the free raw material program a
large number Of the minority would
be found supporting the - republicans
