Lemuns, Aug. 10.?After two false stair* W llbi r Wright. the Dayton (O.) aerophinlst. made a successful ascension he.e shortly after 8 o'clock this evening. He flew about two kilometres (1.24 miles) In one minute and 43 seconds, official time. Owing to the latene-i* of the hour, Mr. Wright decided not to try a longer run. The flight was viewed by several thousand people. The evolutions of today were car? ried out with the same ease and mas? tery as those of Saturday. Mr. Wright caused the machine to swerve out of a direct line of flight and to dscrlbe two loops, like a great figure eight. The first false st?rt was. due to the clumsiness >f an assistant, who held onto the aeroplane too lopg, thereby causing Its right wing to touch the ground and giving the machine such an unmanageable tilt to starboard that Mr. Wright made a landing after traversing only 50 feet. On the second trial Mr. Wright got away well and the machine rose to 30 feet. It had traversed 600 feet when suddenly It appeared too near the branches of some trees. The motor did not perform his functions properly and Mr. Wright descended In good style. Undismayed by these two failures, Mr. Wright Just at dusk, again as? cended and his time sailed up and down the field at varying heights, and finally landed directly in front of the grandstand to the accompaniment of a burst of applause. M. DeLagrange, the well known aeronaut, who was the first person to seise Mr. Wright's hand after the exhibition, tedd the Associated Press that Mr. Wright certainly was a mar? vel. He did not consider that today's mishaps denoted doubtful control of the aeroplane. Leon Bollee, another expert was of the opinion that the Wright machine ahowed the greatest perfection of any he had seen "I consider Mr. Wright a gemus," added M. Bollee. ? His only mistake lies in his trying to make all the parts of his machine himself, for with the sld of experts la their manufacture he undoubtedly would have a better and finer whole." It la probable that the Inventor will again make demonstrations to? morrow. FATAL TTOTEMKNT FIRE. Fire Started by Flrebogs Burned Phjgyj sjtot y Tenement ? Father gwears Veiigeevace. New York, Aug. 10.?Four men are dead, two others are dying and SjIk are In a serious condition from burns In a Are, started by a firebug, which early today burned the four story tenement house at No. 332 East 112th street. Thirty person* were carried down ladders by Aromen amid wild secenes of panic. More than 100 escaped from the burning building In their night cloth? ing. Pistol shots fired by persons who sought thus to summon aid added to the confusion, and thousands rushed to the scene. The fire Is declared by the police and the fire marshal to have been of Incendiary origin, and Is one of sev? eral fatal fires In the neighborhood. Vlncenso Sausto, four of whose child.en were burned to death, bared his head and In a loud voice took an oat of vengeance against those respon? sible for the fire. His oath included the declaration that he would devote his life to the task. It was declared by Assistant Fire Marshal David Kelly that the fire was of undoubted Incendiary origin. The fire is one of a number of fatal rlres that have recently terrorised the neighborhood Two months ago thirteen persons were burned to death In a fire In the tenement houses In 109th street nearby.

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION CHARGES 0OX8PIRACY AMONG CARRIERS. rit?osl Against Advance In Freight Hate*?Presents Docunti nt to Com? gagsng coniiiiissi? ii Concerning pro iH)He? Inos cnse In Rates. Washington, Aug. lO.?The railroad commission of Texas today filed a formal complaint with the interstate commerce commission against 6 7 rail? road* and other common carriers, al? leging a conspiracy on the part of the defendants through the South? western Traffic association tor the suppression of competlton and re? straint of trade in the recent action Increasing freight rates to common points in Texas. The commission will forward notice of this complaint to all carriers involved and will then give them 15 days to reply, the usual period allowed for answering a com? plaint being 20 days. The commis? sion will expedite this case as much as possible on account of Its wide spread importance. The complaint is signed by Allison Mayflower, chairman of the Texas railroad commission, with R. V. Da? vidson, attorney general, and Claude Pollard, assistant attorney general of the State of Texas, countersigning the paper. The complaint undertakes to com? pare the alleged cost of maintenance and operation of the railroads with the actual cost of the claimed in? debtedness which is supposed to justi? fy the Increase. The railroad com? mission of Texas, it appears, has ap? praised the cost of construction and operation of the roads as well as the actual Indebtedness upon which the rates may be fairly based. Eight freight schedules which have recently been filed with the commis? sion are made the basis of the com? plaint and all are claimed to have been brought about by an unlawful agreement between the defendant carriers and the Southwestern Traffic association, of which they are mem? bers, or whose members represent, through power of attorney, those who are not It declares that the Increased! rates will fall primarily upon the commodi? ties of prime utility and dally neces? sity, that they will seiiosuly disturb trade relations, causing loss to ship? pers snd consumers, and that the in? creased tax, so far as Texas alone Is concerned, will amount to $2.853,000 a year.

Washington, Aug. 10.?With the great interest aroused in the army gild navy by Count Zeppelin's airship Right in Germany several days ago and the tests now being held at Fort Myer, the Smithsonian Institution is being deluged with with requests for the works on aerodynamics bV the late Prof. S. P. Langley. i To meet these demands the insti? tution has prepared a booklet contain? ing four of the principal papers writ? ten by Prof. Langley on his Hying machine. These papers are entitled "Story of Experiments in Mechanical Flight," "The Langley Aerodrome," "The Greatest Flying Creature" and "Experiments. With the Langley Aero? drome." in which Prof. Langley gives his version of the last attempt to fly his airship, which ended disastrously. iy. Prof. Langley was probably the pioneer investigator and experimenter With machines heavier than air that were supoprted in flight only by their own mechanical energy. He de? signed and built several small models, and a quarter size model of a larger man-carrying machine which made successful flights of over half a mile each, keeping in the air as long as fuel lasted. The first of these flights wa3 made in May, 1906, over 12 I years ago. The three small aero- I domes, two driven by steam and the third by gasoline engines, are on ex- I hlbition in the United States Na- I tional Museum. The latter large machine, built not I long before Mr. Langley's death, has I never been fully tested, a break oc- I curring in the launching apparatus at each of the two trials in 1903. A few figures relating to the large machine given by Mr. Langley, are interesting, in view of the numerous aeroplanes now making successful flights. The flying weight of the machine complete with that 6t the aeronaut was 830 pounds, Its sustaining sur? face 1,040 square feet. It, therefore, was provided with slightly greater sus? taining surface and materially great? er relative horsepower than the quar-1 ter size model, which flew successful- I ly. The brake horsepower of the en- I glne was 52. the engine Itself, with out cooling water or fuel, weighed approximately one kilogram to the horsepower. The entire power plant, I Including cooling water, carburetter I and battery, weighed materially less than five pounds to the horsepower. The underlying principle of Mr. I Langley's experiments, worked out through years of exact scientific study. I Is explained in one of,' these papers, I published originally In 1897. It says: "What is popularly known as che 'flying machine* It literally a machine, without gas to support it, in no way I I.resembling a balloon and which Its inventor has called the aerodrome. The aerodrome (from words signify-1 ing 'air runner') is, then, the name I given to this apparatus by Mr. Lang ley to indicate the principle of Its action, which In no way resembles that of a balloon that floats, ^because I it Is lighter than the air, while the I aerodrome Is hundreds of times I heavier than the air. The weighty I machine owes its supoprt to another I principle: that Is, the rapidity with I which it runs over the air like a I skater on thin ice. This machine, I built almost entirely of steel, ;. far I heavier in relation to the air than a ship of solid lead would be In rela- I tion to the water, and could not re- I main in the air if still. "The essence of its action, then, is in Its motion without which it could not remain suspended. It is moved rapidly by a steam engine, carrying its own fuel and its water supply, by which it can be kept up indefinitely, while it is also, and by the necessity of its own action, rapidly advancing. "This may all be admitted as prob? ably true in theory, but it is not gen? erally known that this has been ac? tually done." Although some of Mr. Langley's models had flown short distances be? fore, he preferred to consider the flight of May 6. 1896. over 12 years ago, it is believed, as the first really successful one. The model used was No. 5. measuring about 12 or 14 feet from tip to tip. weighing with fuel aboard about 30 pounds and driven by a steam engine of a little over one horsepower. Dr. Alexander Graham I3ell, Mr. Frank G. Carpenter and others were witnesses of the flights. The model repeatedly flew a distance, estimated by Dr. Bell at about 3,000 feet, or more than a half mile.

W hile Others Prom? enade Streets With Pretty New Zealand Girls on Their Arms. Auckland, N. Z., Aug. 11.?New Zealand today again, with a lavish hand, showered its hospitality upon the officers and men of the United States Atlantic battleship fleet. The chief event of the day was the recep? tion to Rear Admiral Sperry and hi? officers given this afternoon in drill hall by the mayor and mayoress of Auckland. To meet the naval officers had gathered all the officials, civil and military and hundreds ^f citizens. Numerous women, gowned in the latest winter fashions, also attended the function, which was a brilliant one In every re:-pect. The admiral was highly complimented by every one on his successful cruise from Sin Fran? cisco. After the reception, Admiral Sperry entertained the members of the leg? islature at luncheon on board the Connecticut. The speeches on both sides were felicitious to a degree and expressive of the warm friendship that exists between New Zealand and the United States. Shore leave was granted to 1,000 blue jackets this morning. They were taken In hand by various committees, whose duty and pleasure it was to see that they had a good time. And they had it. Theatre parties and other entertainments had been arranged and decorated electric cars conveyed the men of the fleet to the numerous beau? ty spots in the superbs. Many of them took advantage of their freedom to visit the sumit of Mount Eden, an ex? tinct volcano, the view from which is a magnificent one. Numerous soven Irs from the old fortification built In the days of the wars between the Ma? ori tribes were carried away by the sailors. The delightful and pictur? esque trip of eight miles through the country dotted here and there with beautiful parks to the quaint little town of Onehongua, on Manukua har? bor, was taken by others of the sea? men. The New Zealanders and the enlisted men fraternized freely. The Americans took a remarkable lntereet In the workmen of New Zealand, and questioned them at length with regard to the labor regulation, their pay, etc. Throughout the morning, everywhere sailors could be seen, who having de? clined the Invitations of the commit? tees, wer<j promenading up and down the main thoroughfare, with pretty girls on their arms, laughing and chatting gaily and answering with witty replies the sallies ef by-standers. Shortly after noon the men were ta? ken to various places where the com? mittee had arranged elaborate lunch? eons for them. After the luncheons, a majority of the men in obedience to the commands of their officers return? ed to their ships, in order that anoth? er detachment might have shore leave during the afternoon. This afternoon a brilliant State ball will be given in honor of Admiral Sperry and the officers of the fleet by Lord Plunkett, the governor, at Gov? ernment Rouse, and various smokers have been arranged for the enlisted men. Much satisfaction Is expressed by Admiral Sperry that Thomas Thom? son Ewing. commonwealth minister of State for defence, has waived the reg latlons which prevent the landing of air armed force in order that the Americans may compete in rifle matches on Australian territory. Paul Gentil. a machinist, while working today in the engine room of the battleship Missouri. was badly mangled by the fall of a steel shaft. He died later in a hospital. A military funeral will be accorded him. Granulated Sore Eyes Cured. ?"For 20 years I suffered from a bad case of granulated sore eyes." says Martin Boyd. of Henrietta. Ky.

Everyone who uses pi Ha (or their action on the liver, should know that large doses rarely prove as satisfactory as small ones. Large doses simply purge and pass out of the sys? tem, usually leaving the bowels constipated, and seldom removing the cause at the trouble, or im? prove the general health. On the other hand, small doses develop the alterative effect at the medicine, do not irritate or constipate the bowels, but gently stimulate the liver and prevent the accumulation of bile by directing its flow into the proper channels. Therefore it is advisable to com? mence by taking not over one or two pills at bed? time and increase dose as necessary. Portland, Mb.
