THE MORNING OREGOXIAN. MOXP4Y. JULY 26, 19Q9. OF BLERIOT'S FEAT Orville Says, Though, No Ad vance in Aviation Marked by Triumph. WISHED TO CROSS CHANNEL Acrldenl at Fort Myer Stopped His Attempt Wrights Stimulated French Activity by Their Suc cesses Several Years Ago. WASHINGTON, July 25,-On the eve of making an aeroplane flight Involving as preat. If not greater, dangers than Blerlot risked In crossing the Bngllsh Channel early today. Orville Wright expressed great pleasure when he learned of the success of the Frenchman. That It was a personal triumph for Blerlot. however, rather than an Indication of an advance In the art of flying, was Wright's idea of the significance of the accomplishment. He spoke admiringly of Bleriot, saying he was one of the most daring of all aviators. Mr. Wright is familiar with the Bleriot monoplane, which, he said. Is of the Antoinette type used by Hubert Latham, but antedates the latter's form of construction. Wrights Stir l"p French. The announcement of the success of the. Wright brothers several years ago stirred the French aeronauts to original effort, it is said, and while some suggested that the type of bi-plane used by the Wrights should be developed by French men, others dVsired to evolve a success ful heavier-than-air machine from a dis tinctly French idea. The Penaud monoplane, therefore, was taken up and many of the principles dis covered and developed by the Wrights were applied to the French machine. It Is said Bleriot could not. with his mono plane, describe the short circles which Wright made yesterday. The Wrehts are reluctant to discuss the comparative merits of their work and the aeroplanes of others. They take great pride In their own machine and be lieve it surpasses all others. Orville Wanted to Cross Channel. It Is said Orville Wright had expected himself to make the Channel flight last Fall but was unable to do so on account of the accident at Fort Myer In. Septem ber. The country between Fort Myer and Shutter's Hill, near Alexandria, over which Orville will make his official speed trial is very rough, some of the hills being 250 to 300 feet high. The distance to be covered is five miles and return. N;ther the height nor the .distance gives Wright any concern, but he Is solicltious about the fact that he must carry a passenger, make 40 miles an hour and fly over a country that is marked by un tried obstacles. All the French aero plane flights have been over level coun try. BLERIOT LIKENED TO WRIGHTS Some Army Officers Believe He Has Beaten Americans. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., July 25. Army officers read with interest the account of 11. Bleriot's flight across the English I'hannel. While some asserted the W right brothers had done nothing so re markable, others championed the Ameri cans. Colonel John A. Lund-en. com mander of the Presidio of San Fran cisco, is In the latter class, and while ad mitting M. Blerlot had displayed great daring, he said he considered the flight to have been mora in the nature of an experiment than to have demonstrated the true value of the aeroplane as a machine' of war. Colonel Lundeen said: "The machine used by M. Bleriot. aa I understand It, waa a little one capable of carrying only the aviator. This Is a start. It is true, but can be considered only an experiment of doubtful value. The United States Army Signal Corps Is conducting tests at Fort Myer of the Wright brothers machine that go fur ther than an isolated experimental flight. "Of course, we do not know what they can do until they do it and we must gather experience from all over the world. If the Wright brothers fall, we must look to the foreign machines, and in the language of the scripture, 'prove all things and hold fast that which is good.' " WORLD ACCLAIMS BLERIOT (Continued from Pas 1.) fore the airship, which was. flying fast, like a gigantic hawk. The craft ap proached the cliff, growing larger every instant- The noise of the engines was audible In a moment, so swiftly did it come. Bleriot swooped overhead and then turned his machine to the east and came to the ground in the mead ows. The monoplane circled with con summate ease and made the landing gracefully, but even though It touched land lightly, it was damaged." By this achievement. Bterio.t won the rrize of J5000 offered by the London Pally Mall for the first flight across the Kngllsh Channel, and stole a march on his rivals. Hubert Latham and Count de Lambert, both of whom had hoped to make the attempt today. Blerlot re ceived the applause for his remarkable flight very modestly. Blerlot Tells or Flight. "I rose at S o'clock." he said, "and went to the aeroplane shed. Finding everything' in order on the trial spin. I decided to make the flight. The French torpedo-boat destroyer in attendance was signaled and it put out about 4 miles. Then I rose In the air and pointed directly to Dover. "After 10 minutes I was out of sight of land and left the warship well be hind. For a few minutes I could not see either coast or any boat. I tried to keeD at an average height of 150 feet. I mirht easily have gone higher, but it would nave served no purpose. This was about the right height. I thnupht. to clear the Dover Cliffs safely. "The machine dipped toward the water several times. I put on more petrol once. I estimated that the pro pellers were going 1S00 to 1400 revo lutions a minute. "The first objects I saw were ships off the Kngllsh coast. Then I observed Deal and discovered that the wind, which was southwest, was carrying me thither. I veered to the southward to Dover Castle, and then saw friends flourishing flags in a valley suitable for landing. I made two circles while lessening the speed and then dived down, but I came in contact with the ground sooner than I expected. Both the machine and myself were badly Shaken up. "A few persons quickly assembled tod I was helped out. as my Injured WH GUTS GLAD SNAPSHOTS OF MOTHER AND SISTER OF LIEUTENANT SUT f TON, ON THEIR WAY TO HEARING. in V t " e.V foot waa painful. I am exceedingly glad to be here." Craft 20 Feet Across. Parts of the frame work of the mono plane were splintered on landing. Every one expressed surprise at the small size. It Is no more than 30 feet across the wings and its weight is about 40 pounds, the motor being 25-horsepower. In the same machine Bleriot recently made a cross-country trip of 25 miles from Etampes to Orleans. It is fitted with an airtight sausage-shaped rubber bag so that it would float should it descend to the sea. Bleriot said, however, that he had absolute control of the machine through out and had no fear that the motor would fail. The only difficulty he ex perienced was from the force of the wind, which hurt his face and eyes badly and from the wind eddies, which twisted his machine about while- nearing the Eng lish Coast. Count de Lambert came from Calais by boat to congratulate his rival. A telegram arrived from Hubert Latham, who a few days ago. failed in his at tempt to cross the channel, saying: "I hope to follow you soon." Bleriot early announced that If Latham crossed today he would share the prize with him. The American Consul at Calais. James B. Milner. who came here wtth Count de Lambert, said on his ar rival that he had left Latham sitting with his head on his monoplane weeping. M. Bleriot returned to Calais on the destroyer this afternoon but will recross tomorrow for the official reception to be tendered by the Dover municipality. Afterward he will go to London, where a great demonstration is being arranged In his honor. BLERIOT AWAKENS ENGLISH London Papers Comment on Feat of Crossing Channel. LONDON, July 25. The London morning newspapers publish editorials on Blerlot's feat. A new point brought out is its strik ing appeal to the imagination of Eng lishmen that Great Britain's insular strength Is no longer unchallenged, that the aeroplane is not a toy. but a possible Instrument of warfare which must be taken Into account by soldiers and statesmen, and that It was the one thing needed to wake up the English people to the importance of the science of aviation. WRIGHTS TO BE DECORATED France to Honor Foreign Aviators for Their Successes. PARIS. July 25. The list of decora tions that will be bestowed on foreign aviators will be announced shortly. It probably will be headed by the Wright brothers. Wilbur Wright, when offered the cross of the Legion of Honor last Fall, de clined to accept it unless his brother Orville were similarly decorated. Storm Wrecks Aeroplane. VICHY. France, July 25. Paul Tis sander's aeroplane of the Wright model was destroyed, and the aeroplanes of Mm. Zipfel. Paulham and De la Rue were badly damaged by a vtolent storm that wrecked the tribunes at the aerodrom here today and leveled the sheds containing the machines. SPENDS ALL- ENDS LIFE KEVOLVER WINDS CP CAREEK OF CHARLES WALKER. Allows Himself $20 Dally for Drinks for 80 Days, Then Shoots Himself. SAN FRANCISCO. July 15. Just SI davs ago. Charles Walker, a ship car penter, showed his landlady. Mrs. F. C. Saraiza a bankbook Indicating $1600 deposit, and said: "When that Is gone, I'll go too. It will last me SO days." This morning his dead body was found in his bedroom, where It had lain since yesterday, when Mrs Saralza heard the sound of a shot, but failed to Investigate. When the bankbook was exhibited. Walker was sober and Industrious. Mrs. Saraiza said, and the woman thought he was Jesting when he added, "Twenty dollars a day will keep me drunk till the SO days are ended.' Friday. Walker entered a down-town saloon and tossing a gold piece on the bar. said: "When that is gone, I'll. go. too; it is my last." He laughed at the bartender's remark that there must be plenty more where that came from. Saturday morning ha fired the shot toward which he had de liberately marched during his 80 days. So far as can be learned, he had no relatives. i. . r-i-. w- t MRS. HOStS SITTOS PARKE ... r V. .M& R, MRS. JAMES N. SUTTON. Sutton Did Not, Is Contention of Dead Boy's Mother.

I do not wish to fasten responsi bility on anyone." Mrs. Parker Takes Notes. Mrs. Parker, whose attitude through out the entire Investigation, is con sidered remarkable, added that she wished the young officers now telling what they know of the facts would still consider her as a friend. Mrs. Parker's attitude during the hearings has attracted the attention of all present. She has followed every word spoken by the witnesses with a keenness and Interest which have been apparent. At times she has made notes of remarks made, at other times con sulting with her attorney while Im portant phases of the case were being discussed. She has kept her eyes stead fastly on the witnesses, so that when answering questions, it has appeared that the witness not only answered his Interrogator, but answered to Mrs. Parker as well. Witness Makes Stinging Reply. "Why did you allow the fight to con tinue, when Lieutenant Sutton was on the ground?" was asked Lieutenant Willing, who, as officer of the day, had been awakened on the night in question to preserve order. "Did you think he was unconscious or dead?" "I didn't know nor care whether he was dead or alive," was answered by Lieutenant Willing, looking directly at Mrs. Parker, who smiled when her brother was referred to in this manner. She Immediately jotted down a few words with the evident purpose of using them later in the trial. NAVAL BOARD'S REPLY CURT All Requests for Copy of Sutton Re port Are Refused. SAN FRANCISCO. July 25. In an In terview printed here today. Miss Daisy Sutton, a sister of the late Lieutenant James N. Sutton, tells of the struggle of her mother to obtain a copy of the proceedings of the first investigation Into the young officer's death. Miss Sutton, who arrived In this city yester day, said: "The night that received the tele gram telling us that my brother James 1 was dead, we had no suspicion that-he had mot a violent death. When we learned later of the announcement of the naval board of Inquiry that he 'had come to his death from a bullet wound Inflicted by his own hand,' we were stunned. "My father wrote to the naval au thorities at Annapolis asking for a copy of the testimony at the inquest, and received the curt notification that it would not be given us. He tried again and again, but received the same re sponse. "Seeing the uselessness of trying to break a network of red tape, he took the matter up with Senators Fulton and Bourne, with the result that after a few week's delay we received it." TO RESCME INQUIRY TODAY Famijj- Anxious to Clear Sutton's Name of Disgrace of Suicide. ANNAPOLIS. Md.. July 25. Further Inquiry Into the death of Lieutenant James N. Sutton, of Portland, Or., will be made by the Naval Court of Inquiry tomorrow. Mrs. Rose Sutton Parker, sister of the dead officer, declared to night that all the family wanted was to clear her brother's name of the dis grace of suicide. She was not vindic tive, she said. The Inquiry thus far has been nota ble for the conflicting nature of the testimony adduced. The Marine Lieu tenants Adams. Osterman, Willing and Bevan told stories which, while agree ing in many points, yet differed in es sentials. Adams swore that no one was sitting on Sutton when the fatal shot was fired. Two of the others testified that two or three men were sitting upon Sutton, who was lying .face down ward, with his right arm-under him. I 1 WHOSHOTROELKEH? BLERiOT IS DARING Has Been in Many Accidents, but Keeps Head. GETS LEGION OF HONOR Decorated for His Feat of Crossing Channel Steals March on Other Aviators and Rises From His Crutches in Air, Flies Away. CALAIS. July 25. Louis Blerlot flew from the shores of France, leaving be hind a group of spectators who. while they were filled with admiration at the man's daring, fea-od lst he might be overcome. There was applauss when the monoplane arose in the air, then there was keen suspense, but when word came that Blerlot had reached England i mighty cheer was sent up. The news-of his triumph spread quick ly and celebrations were held every where. In spite of -his injured leg. Bleriot stole a march on his rivals, Latham and Count de Lambert. The former, deceived by the high winds of the day before, thought a start would be impossible, while Count de Lambert had gone to England to pick out a likely place to land. It wae decided that the torpedo-boat should be at the disposal of Latham and a destroyer at the disposal of Blerlot, should the men decide to start. At 3 o'clock Blerlot, who was de termlned not to allow the slightest chance to esca"pe, proceeded to the shed at San Oatte and his monoplane was pushed out. Rises From Crutches In Air. To the handful of people who gathered there, the spectacle of this man, hobbling on crutches, dreaming of a flight to England, had something awe-inspiring even terrifying. In it. Blerlot cast aside his crutches and took his place In the monoplane, on which he had already hoisted a red flag to guide the rescuers in case he should fall. The monoplane rose, easily and made two circles above the . land. Shortly Bleriot descended. His motor was run ning perfectly and he had confirmed the fact that he had a favoring eouth south- west breeze. The critical moment was at hand. Anzanla, the constructor, set me motor In motion. Bleriot settled him self calmly In his seat, wavinr farewell and at 4:36 o'clock the aeroplane rose and speed away. Fourteen minutes later. flying high above the water, it was lost in tne mists Banging over the channel. Bleriot Given Decoration. The destroyer, which had been warned to prepare, steamed swiftly in pursuit, but the flying man was faster and left the boat far behind. Blerlot Is the winner of Oslerls prize of $20,000 in conjunction with Gabriel Volsln, the aeroplane manufacturer, for their contributions to the progress of the aviation. Yesterday he waa decor ated with the Legion of Honor. He is the Inventor of a searchlight for autos and became Interested In aviation In 1900. Throughout his career, Bleriot has displayed such reckless daring that his friends have predicted he would be killed. He has had numerous accidents and has broken a dozen machines, but has never been dismayed by misfor tune. He made his first cross-country flight from Toury to Arthenay; made a flight of an hour at Doue, and on July 13 made a new record for cross-country from Stampes to Orleans. Returns to Calais. After Latham failed In his attempt to cross the Channel, Bleriot hurried to Calais to try his luck, announcing subsequently that he intended to make a cross-country flight of 100 kilometers (62 miles) from Evereux to Orleans, without a stop. M. Blerlot is exceed ingly cool and has always maintained a man that kept his head could not be seriously injured. "In case of an accident, he has said, "I throw myself on one of the wings. That breaks the wing, but it saves me. M. Blerlot returned this evening from Dover aboard the destroyer. He was met by a cheering throng and was ac claimed enthusiastically when he said: "I am radiantly happy at my suc cess. I am happy, also, because I have received the decoration of the Legion of Honor." Latham, who was a disappointed spectator, later brought out his.aero Dlane. but the increasing wind and a faulty motor prevented his making a flight. KILLING MANIA SEIZES MAN SLAYS WIFE IN COLD' BLOOD, THEN KILLS SELF, Attempts to Murder Mother-in-Law, but Bullet Goes Wild Polico Furnished No Protection. BUTTE. Mont., July 25. (Special.) Possessed of an Insane desire to kill, telling his wife and her mother and sis ters again and again of his mania to make a "clean sweep" of them all, Phillip O'Connell, who came here re cently from Boston, today shot at his mother-in-law, Mrs. Orell -Fountain. after telling her to take a good look at the weapon, Just as she fainted from terror. The woman In falling escaped O'Connell's bullet, which whizzed by her head. A cry of "Mamma, mamma " from O'Connell's sick wife in an adjoining room then attracted the attention of the madman, and he proceeded to the sick chamber. With his wife in a paroxysm of terror hugging the wall to escape, he placed the muzzle of his re volver against her ear and blew her brains out. Mrs. Fountain by this time had re gained consciousness, and as she fled from the house the murderer took a fly ing shot at her. but again missed the woman. Another shot was heard, and later O'Connell was found with a bul let hole through his temple. Brooding over fancied wrongs for weeks is believed to have unbalanced O'Connell's mind. Yesterday evening he secured a gun and notified all that he proposed to "clean them" after he had seen a priest In Meaderville. Po lice headquarters was notified, but failed to send an officer to the house. The visit with the priest seemed to cool O'Connell, and he was passive until this afternoon, when the "clean-sweep" mania again took possession of him. Three Elves Lost in Gulf. PENSACOLA.
