American Breaks All Aero

OVER 91 MINUTES IN AIR

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

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.
The course followed in this case is the
course which will hereafter be followed,

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. Privilege to take the

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."

Colonel Stewart at the time were to send

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.

The meeting In the rotunda of the Cap

time deeply impressive. All the workers
present wore white ribbons pinned on the
lapels of their coats and on these rib
bons was printed in large letters, "We
Want County Local Option."
Several ministers made speeches, ex
plaining their presence and saying that
they came because Crawford Fairbanks,

After the prayer meeting the workers
distributed themselves among tne sena

to be, or supposed to be, opposed to the
bill. Twenty or 30 workers would sur
round a Senator or Representative and
ply him with questions so fast that it
would almost bewilder him to keep up
with the interrogatories. Some of the
men thus cornered wore pitiful expres
sions and seemed anxious to. get away.
but they were met by other crowds of
workers as fast as they escaped, and
two or three of them fled from the State
House in despair.
Results Xot Apparent.
What the workers accomplished, if any
thing, did not become apparent today.
Ss the session of the House passed with
out any reference to local option, but in
the Senate the dual feature was cut out
of the Anti-Saloon League's bill and it
was passed to a second reading.
Only one Republican spoke on the bill
and It was advanced by a strict party
vote, 36 Democrats to 14 Republicans.

Heart
Troubles
The heart may be weak"
just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs.
It often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some of the nerves
of the chest or abdomen.
The heart should be
strengthened with a tonic,
and for this nothing equals
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure.
"I had LaOrippe last fall as I
thought in a mild form. I was weak,
tired feeling, and short of breath:
could hardly go about, and a good
deal of the time sort of an asthmatic
breathing and extremely nervous. I
began taking Dr. Miles" Heart Cure,
and Nervine and now I feel so much
better in everv wav. I am so thank
ful that I began taking this medicine,
and shall not hesitate to tell others
how much good it has done me."
