Contest of the SO-Called Fourth"

Gilliland. When o'clock, the time
appointed for beginning the argu-
ments, arrived this morning, the at

ment and the case was submitted
without the two days of oratory that
had been expected.
Judge Gilliland Is now going over
the documents introduced as evidence,
in order to make his mind a little
more clear On some few points. He
says he will be prepared to give his
decision in four or five days, which
will make it about next Monday or
Tuesday. n 2
1t is generally conceded, however,
that che decision of the county court
will not be accepted as final by either
side and that the case is sure to be
carried to the circuit court and from
there to the supreme court. Judge
Gilliland's decision will but mark the
close of another round in the battle.

Washington. July 2S.-The worlds
aeroplane record for two men, both as
to time and distance. was broken last
evening, in a beautiful flight of one
hour, twelve minutes and 40 seconds
upwards of so miles and at a speed
averaging about 40 miles an hour, by
Orville Wright at Fort Meyer, with
Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm, of the
army signal corps, as passenger. The
former record was made last year by
his brother, Wilbur, joint inventor Of
the machine in which both achieve
ments were performed, at Lemans,
France, with Professor Paintove, of
the French institute as a passenger.
That flight was one hour and nine
minutes and 81 seconds. Wilbur was
an eager spectator of today's flight.
The cheering that heralded the set
ting Of a new mark in the conquest
Of the air was led by President Taft,
who was an intensely interested spec
tator throughout the flight. This sue
cess was all important to the Wrights
in that ii completed the first of two
crucial tests of their machine i'm
posed upon them by the United
States government-the so-called "en-
durance test" which required them
to remain one hour continuously in
the air with one passenger. Orville
did nearly 1S minutes better than
that, and could have kept on indefi-
nitely-three hours and half, the
limit imposed by gasoline capacity of
the supply tank.
