OVER 91 MINUTES IN AIR Crowd of 10,000, Including Many Distinguished Guests of French Aero Club, Wildly Cheer Avi ator's Great Performance. LE MANS, France. Sept. 21. In the pres ence of the official of the French Aero Club of Sarthe. American Ambassador Henry White. Geenral Bazaine-Hayter. commander of the Fourth Army Corps: a large number of French and foreign offi cers and aeroplane experts and a wildly cheering crowd. Wilbur Wright, the American aeroplanuit, this afternoon ac complished a signal triumph, capturing the world's record from his brother. Or ville Wright, by a marvelously impressive flight of 1 hour, 31 minutes, 51 seconds, covering in that time an actual distance of 98 kilometers, or nearly 61 mtles. Trles-for Two Prizes. Owing to the recent accident at Fort JUver. the trial today for tho Michelin cup for the greatest distance covered by an aeroplane In 1908 and the Aero Club prize of J1000 for the longest flight over an inclosed ground, attracted Intense inter est. At 6:15 the aviator got away nicely. Balling majestically up the Held. Round ing the upper turn, Wright swept back to where the thousands were gathered and bean describing ellipses. Round after round he made with the regularity of clockwork and the steadiness of a rail road train. The great crowd was at once delighted and amazed at the remarkable stability shown bji the aeroplane. Phantom In Darkness. In the gathering darkness the spectacle became a thrilling one. The aeroplane could no longer be seen at the further end of the field: it appeared and disappeared Jn the gloom like a white phantom, but the sound of the ceaseless churning of the prppellers told the multitude, which had now grown frantic, that Wright was still in the air. Matches were lighted to keep watch on the fleeing minutes, and night had fallen when, at the end of the 33d round, Wright shut off his motor and came lightly to the ground. With a mad cheer the crowds broke through the lines and rushed forward, only being prevented from hoisting the American In triumph on their shoulders by charging cavalry Could Have Gone Longer. Mr. Wright told the Associated Press that he had descended only because of darkness: he still had sufficient essence In the tank to last an hour. As the measurement under the rules Is onlv taken from the flags, the official dls tance of the flight is given at 66.60 kilo meters. For the Michelin aero prize, only the time before sunset counts, and there fore, in his attempt to win this tropny. Wright set a record of 63 minutes, cover' -In 38 6 kilometers. Mr. Wright took his achievement with hat usual modesty, but said that he was especially glad to have established a new morld's record for his brother Orville's sake. He denied the report that he does not intend hereafter to carry passengers. SAYS FALL WAS TOO SHORT Aeroplane Would Have Righted It self Soon, Wright Asserts. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. Orville "Wright's own story of the tragic fate which befell his aeroplane at the Fort ' Myer testing field, resulting in the death of Lieutenant Selfridge and dangerous Injuries to Mr. Wright himself, is told in a dispatch received In this city. According to the story he la at a loss to account for the real reason of the fatal termination of what had promised to be a record-breaking nignt. T. ne lmme dlate cause was plainly that one of the nro rollers struck a guy rope, ha says, but he is unable even now to understand how it could have happened. "I knew It was dangerous to have those propellers revolve so that they would be likely to hit anything." said he, "but we tried to make them nit oerore tried it force them to hit. They would not. They had plenty of clearance. I don't know how they hit that time how they came to get there. But they did. some how that propeller and the wire came to gether. The propeller hit the wire twice lightly, then hard. I heard it. I heard the crash. 1 did not look back. I did not know what was Happening. beitridge looked back I saw him. I don't know what he saw. I thought It was the trans mission that had given way. 1 thought the propellers were ripping the machine to pieces. "Then we commenced to spin around That was the unbroken propeller urging us onward. I cut off the propellei pulled the cord and we lost headway. The rudder was out of commission. It must have swung to one side useles: as soon as the wire got loose from the tall. We can't stay up without headway, so when the machine swung around in a circle and the rudder would not work and the engine was stopped I thought It was grinding us to pieces I could not see we began to drop. I heard Selfridge sav. 'Oh! Oh!" I expected to right the ma chine. It was falling edgewise. The only way to get headway mas to fall we did not fall far enough. It started to right. Twenty feet more and it would have righted. e aid not nave the feet. That's all." TELLS STEWART'S FAULTS (Continued From First Psse. ed over a considerable period of time. Apparently, all this went on almost un der the very eyes of Colonel Stewart but he failed to detect crimes of the offl cer. in so doing being culpably remiss In exercising supervision over his subordi nates. Wrangled With Civilian. "At the same place he became em broiled with a civilian. Mr. Cushing. a resident In the neighborhood of the mill tary reservation, and the War Depart ment was obliged to interfere and stop his wrangling with Mr. Cushlng. "These were only some among the in stances of incompetency and tempera- mental shortcomings which were brought to the attention of the department. Grant's Plan Indorsed. "In l!"' Brigadeier-General (now Major General) Grant, the Department Com mander, forwarded the report on Colonel Stewart's command to the division head WILBUR WRIGH quarters with the-comment that the "un happy condition of affairs at Fort Will iams' was due to. the action of the com manding officer, his shortcoming being 1 LJ.L Vl m mn tl? temperamental. u"-u 1 " '-- , Irritate those around htm that m the opinion of General Grant the only way to meet the defect was to (."

The President s letter gives in aeiau the history of further tyrannies. Briefly they are: "Colonel Btewart was given anoiner , . - hn, I, it nnmrMi rn I-nrr Kflmuiru. Department of the Gulf. General Duvall, commanaing. was nam; cumpeiicu 10 re port that Stewart was temperamentally Unnt lor ms pusiuuu, uciauoo ui ijiAuii and other defects, and numerous in stances are quoted. Calls Him Tyrant. When Stewart forwarded an "applica tion to be appointed Brigadier-General the Department Commander opposed it on the grounds of Stewart s " malice, vin dictiveness. frequent tyrannies and unfit ness." The Division Commander in his report to the War Department agreed that Stewart was "unfit." More complaints followed and after an investigation, in July. 1907, Colonel Stew art was found guilty of tyrannical ana unreasonable conduct toward a civilian employe of the Government. The President s letter quotes nign orn cers of the Army, all of whom had to deal with Colonel Stewart, and their verdict was unanimous that he was tem peramentally unfit to command. Again Asked to Quit. General Murray. Chief of Artillery, again recommended that to Colonel Stew art there be . ottered tne alternative oi relief from command or retirement upon his own application. Accordingly, on the advice of the four General officers. Grant, Duvall. Davis and Murray, all ot tnoin h sunerior officers, who were most inti mately acquainted with the facta of the case. Colonel Stewart was sent to the un- garrisoned post of Fort Grant. It was iouna upon iiiquur there were four posts available for such assignment." the letter continues. Fort Asslnlbone was deemed unsuita ble, as the Winter season is so long and severe. Fort Keogh. although without a regular garrison, is occu pied by a small detachment or troops. "Colonel Stewarts conauci inwmu enlisted men has been so tyrannical and unjust that the department could not consent to subjecting them to his exclusive control, and therefore Fort Keogh was excluded. Fort Grant Is Healthy. "Fort Brown, at Brownsville, Texas. has been left without a garrison, but s Colonel Stewart has been continu ally embroiled witn civilians. it was deemed Inadvisable that he should be sent to this particular post. There remained only Fort Grant. It is .an entirely healthy post and the question of Us employment as a lignt artillery post Is now under consideration." In conclusion tne rresiaeni saia: Deserves No Consideration. "The facts above given show that Colonel Stewart is entitled to no consid eration whatever; that he ought to be re tired from the Army forthwith and that to adopt any other disposition of the case than that which has actually been adopt ed would be unfair to the interests or tne Army, and particularly unfair to the in terests of the enlisted men and unjust to the civilians at any post to which he might be assigned." Opposes Military Trial. "Now, as to your suggestion as to a trial, for the reasons given above, and also the memorandum which I here with forward, there 1 no point in hav ing a court-martial. At present, I do not see how any court of inquiry would express an opinion to which I should pay more heed than to the Judgment of Generals Wade, Grant, Murray, Du vall and Davis, in accordance with whose recommendations I have acted. Case Absolutely Clear. - , "The case is absolutely clear. Nothing would more quickly destroy all discipline in the Army than to continually grant courts of inquiry to contentions, ineffi cient or disobedient officers whose mis conduct is already proved beyond possi bility of rebuttal. Baseless requests for such courts are continually made by of fenders of contentious disposition. It would be highly unaeslrable to grant. Such measures as those taken in this case are purely within the scope of the Presi dent's duties and authority. Regarded as Precedent.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. Colonel W. F. Stewart, at the Coast Artillery, whose case, because of his detail to the ungar risoned post at Fort Grant, Ariz- has been before the public for some time, has been ordered to appear before a retiring board at Washington. D. C. where he will be examined as to his disability, its nature and whether it was incurred in the line of duty. This action by Secre tary Wright today la the outcome of the physical examination of Colonel 8tewart by a board, of officers at Fort Huachuca. Aria., when he appeared recently at that post for the purpose of taking the test ride of 90 miles directed by President Roosevelt. , . That board reported that the Colonel was practically blind in, one eye and that, because of the additional fact that he had heart trouble, he was disabled for military service.

Its functions will be to ascertain 'for mally the facts and make a report on them to the Secretary of War for his use and the President's. Colonel Stewart should reach Washington in a week. Colonel Stewart's "exile" to Fort Grant dates back a year. Before being sent there, however, he was given an oppor tunity while at Fort Barrancas, Fla., to retire, but to this offer Colonel Stewart replied: "If appointed Brigadier, will retire; if not. will remain on duty." The department's intentions regarding Colonel Stewart at the time were to send him to Fort Grant without command un til he reached the minimum age of 62. permitting of his compulsory retirement by the President unless, in the meantime, he should voluntarily retire after 40 years' sen-Ice. When information was sought at the War Department as to the basis for such action, the only comment forthcoming was that Colonel Stewart was "tempo rarily impossible." Colonel Stewart. It had been asserted, was unfit for com manding a body of men. and he did not get along with subordinates. Last Spring the case of Colonel Stewart was discussed with much warmth in the Senate. On two occasions Senator Raynor. of Mary land, criticised the President for what he termed "his petty attitude" toward Colonel Stewart.

These criticisms nave been ami- cult to meet for the reason, he said, that he could not take the public into nia con firtenco concerning all matters being han died at National headquarters. It has been Mr. Hitchcock's belief that nothing could be accomplished by pouring Into a state ammunition directed at tne national campaign when there is conflict going on In the state over some local issue mat en tlrelv overshadows the National issues.

WILL NOT REMOTE HITCHCOCK Taft Expresses Confidence and Leaves Him In Command. CINCINNATI, O., 8ept. 21. Judge Taft's telegram expressing confidence in National Chairman Hitchcock, assuring him that he Is In supreme control and welcoming with him the assistance of Senator Crane and the executive and ad visory committee, was the one news pro duction of the Republican Presidential candidate today. The telegram was brought forth for publication this after noon, stating that the chairman was to be subordinated in the management of the campaign. After sending the tele gram Mr. Taft made Its contents public at once. It read: "Do not be disturbed by publications with reference to your management-of the campaign or statements of an inten tion to aupplant yu i control. The presence of Senator Crane here gave rise to Inferences which I attempted to depre cate. I have every confldnce in you and In the success of your management and I welcome the assistance, as you do. of Senator Crance and auxilllary commit tee, but you are in supreme command." Further comment than this message Mr. Taft Indicated was unnecessary. WOXDERS WHERE THEY GOT IT Comments on Finding or $800,000 In pemocratio Treasury. OYSTER BAY, Sept. 21. Republican State Chairman T. L. Woodruff spent some time in conference with the President today. Before leaving for New York Mr. Woodruff said: "I found the President pleased with the situation in the state and also wtth the National campaign, but he empha sised the need of hard work to bring about the success of the party. "Incidentally, the President remark ed that he considered it significant that 1300,000 had been found in the treasury of the Democratic party after Judge Parker had declared through out the last campaign that the party's treasury was receiving nothing from corporations, and further because it was announced .at the time of the elec tion that the treasury was empty. "The President said that he thought It looked queer that such a large sum of money should turn up after Mr. Haskell was appointed treasurer of the National committee.
