LATHAM READY FOR NEW TRIAL
Girls Hug Aeropianist Who Fell Into Channel FOUND PUFFING CIGARETTE Undaunted by Failure Daring Fellow Gays That as Soon as He Can Make His Motor Behave He Will Achieve the Feat of Starting at Callas and Soaring Over the Water Into Dover. Wright Makes Two Fine Flights. Calais, July 20. —Herbert Latham, discussing his drop from the clouds Into the English channel, today said that he was undaunted by the failure of his first attempt to fly from Calais to Dover in his monoplane and that as soon as he could make his motor act nicely he would again attempt the feat. Latham when picked up by the French destroyer, Harpon, was not wet and still sat on the saddle, which is above the wings and behind the motor, calmly smoking a cigarette. The failure of the motor is attributed to a bad carbuetor. When the machine was 200 feet above the water M. Latham shut off the power and the machine glided down gently, alighting on the waves with hardly a splash." Piers and streets along the water front were black with people when the destroyer entered the harbor with M. Latham aboard. The daring aviator received a tremendous ovation and on landing it was with difficulty that he made his way through the throngs. Dozens of times he. was compelled to kiss girls who threw their arms around his neck. Latham is a Frenchman. His flying machine is built with a single horizontal plane as against the double planes used by the Wright, brothers and most aviators. Although he made short flights last May, his first important flight was in June, when he remained in the air 1 hour, 7 minutes and 47 seconds. thus for the first time attracting cerious attention to his new single plane device. Since then he has made several short flights. The machine used by M. Latham suggests a bird. It has two rigid wings a foot thick in the center and tapering into flexible fins designed to give sta"bility. The space between the two layers of canvas is watertight and fa •calculated to insure safety should the machine fall into, the water as it did on Ails trial.
TWO FLIGHTS BY WRIGHT
Aeroplane Works Better Than Ever at Fort Myer Drill Ground. Washington. .July 20. —Showing mon 1 confidence in himself than he has exhibited before this season, Orville Wright made two very successful flights in the Wright aeroplane at Fort Myer. The first flight lasted twenty-five minutes and eighteen seconds, diirin'i which time the aviator circled the parade grounds, a distance of about fivesixths of a mile, twenty-five and onehalf times. The second, which continned until darkness prevented Wright from remaining longer in the air, was for half an hour’s duration and twenty-nine and one-half circuits were made, During both of the trials the machine behaved splendidly and indications are that the Wrights soon will have the aeroplane in condition for the official trials. The failure of Herbert Latham to cross the English channel brought forth expressions of confidence from the Wright brothers that their machine can make a successful flight across that body of water. "Have you any ambition to cross the English channel?" Wilbur Wright was asked. "No." he replied. "If I had I should have done it long ago." Wright declared his machine’s curved surfaces would support it on the water for a time if it lighted squarely. In case the machine plunged forward, he said, it would undoubtedly sink to the bottom. The cause of Latham's failure—the stopping of his motor while in midairbears out the contention frequently made by the Wrights that the future aeroplane must depend upon the development of a motor.
Farnum Fllea In the Night. v Chalone Sur Marne, France, July 20. —-Henry Farnam made a night ulght flight with his aeroplane, remaining up 1 hour and 23 minutes. Thia beats the French duration record.
SAYS HENEY WAS PAID FOR NOTHING
Congressman Tells of Money Prosecutor Drew. RECEIVED $69,000 IN ALL Tawney States Graft Killer Although Engaged In San Francisco Work Got $23,000 From the Federal Treasury. Mann of Illinois and Burke of Pennsylvania Have Verbal Fencing Match —Attempt to Stop Fees of Panama Libel Attorneys Fail*.
Washington, July 20. —That Francis J. Heney, special counsel of the department of justice and also assistant prosecutor in the graft cases in San Francisco, received from this government last year 323,000 for which he performed no service, was the frank admission of Chairman Tawney of the appropriations committee In the house. He stated, however, that Heney’s salary had nothing to do with the $27,000 deficiency for the department of Justice for which provision is made in the urgent deficiency bill. Heney, he said, had received in all from the government 369,000. Mann and Burke Cross Swords. Representative Mann of Illinois said that Heney needed no defense. “The only persons opposed to him,” he remarked, “are those who sympathize with some of those who have been accused, if not convicted of graft.” Representative Burke of Pennsylvania called the Illinoisan to order, saying that Mann's admission that Heney needed no defense disposed of the necessity of consuming the •house’s time. “I am glad,” said Mann, “that only one member, and he from the great and pure state of Pennsylvania, is op posed to Mr. Heney." “I want to say,” Burke remarked with some warmth, “that when the great and pure state of Pennsylvania wishes to have its politics or its moral tone improved it will not go to the gentleman from Illinois, the state of Illinois or the city of Chicago, from which the gentleman hails.” The house voted down an amendment prohibiting the employment of special counsel in the Panama libel cases. An Echo of Brownsville. An echo of the Brownsville affray was heard when Tawney sought to amend the bill so as to grant to the army officers comprising the court now sitting additional compensation to the amount of 31,500 each, or 37,500 in idl. Representative Burleson prompt!? objected and his objection had the effect of throwing the amendment out. He.thought the regular pay and allowance of the officers was amply sufficient.. By way of making the session especially interesting, there were several lively tilts, one of which culminated in an announcement by Representative Macon of Arkansas that he would resign his seat if it could be proved that he was a legislative obstructor. Wants Names From Postmasters. Washington, July 20.—Representative Austin of Tennessee has introduced a joint resolution requiring postmasters and letter carriers to supply to senators and representatives for official use the names and occupations of persons receiving mail.
AMERICANS RETURN TO WORK
Those Who Walked Out with'Foreigners at McKee’s Rocks Back Again. Pittsburg, July 20.—Without display of violence on the part of striking employes, the plant of the Pressed Steel Car company at McKee’s Rocks resumed operations. Five hundred men landed at the company’s wharf from the steamer Steel Queen, the company’s material boat, quietly entered the shops and began work. They are reported to be the Americans who walked out with the foreign strikers but refused to stayon strike. President F. N. Hoffstot of the Pressed Steel Car company preseveres In his determination not to give way to the demands of all the strikers. "There will be no compromise,” said he. "The plant of the company mayremain idle a week or it may remain idle a year, but in the end it will be going full blast and on its own terms.”

Adams’ testimony, compared with his version of the tragedy at the former investigation when the board of inquiry found that Sutton died by his own hand. A rider to camp in an automobile with Sutton and two other officers; an interrupted altercation between Sutton and the witness; a later accidental meeting of the witness and Sutton, and another fight between the two men, with Sutton armed with a revolver in either hand and firing five shots, the last of which he directed at his own head while lying on the ground were the points in Lieutenant Adams’ testimony. "When Sutton was on the ground," said Lieutenant Adams, "I pushed his face into the earth with all my strength to keep him from seeing who it was. He struggled for twenty seconds and then semed to weaken.” Didn’t Pay Back $1.50. Adams told of a previous quarrel i with Sutton over the payment of $1.50 which he owed Sutton. | "bid you pay him that money?” asked Major Leonard. “No sir, I did not pay him,’’ the witness replied. I Lieutenant Adams said he had little to do with Sutton. When he first came to the academy in July, 1897, he was told that Sutton had placed the officers of the day and other officers in such undignified positions by making them dance by threatening to shoot at their feet, that the marines had decided to have nothing to dq with Sutton, the witness declared. |< Davis said that it was not his intention to fasten the responsibility of Sutton’s death on anyone, but that every effort would be made to discredit and ! refute the suicide theory.
SUTTON TALKED OF A GIRL
West Virginia Man Declares That Roelker Is In Wheeling. Wheeling, W. Va., July 20. —According to a statement made by Harry B. Thomas, Edward P. Roelker, wanted as a witness in the Annapolis investigation into the death of Lieutenant. Sutton, is in this city. “I first met Sutton,” said Thomas, "in Washington, having gone there to prepare for my examination for the United States Marine Corps. Sutton showed me a letter from Adams, challenging him to fight a duel with pistols. "On the night of the tragedy I went over to Sutton's quarters to get my Overcoat and was returning to go to the city when I saw Adams and Sutton in a fist fight. Sutton was beaten. "Sutton then went to his room. I waited for him and he and I walked to the gate. I called his attention to a cut from which blood was flowing down his cheeks. He said he would get even for It, but he said very little to me regarding the real trouble except he spoke of Adams taking away his‘girt-’"
