S.—For the first time in American history, an aer- oplaiie owned by the United States government rose in the air here to- day, circled over the farms that nestle in the valley and sailed back obedient- rting point, to rise again. ius, under the guiding hand of one of its inventors, Wilbur Wright, it flew five times in'the dedication of the government's (nc( of land to avia- tion. Wilbur Wright as Instructor. With ‘almost “ideal conditions, few spectatars, and .scarcely enough (breeze to send the little cups of the anemom- eter .around at the rate of a mile an hour, Mr, Wright began the flights tq teach the officers of the signal corps how to handle the new machine of war he has made for them. It was the first time he had ever driven “Miss Columbia.” Several times, however, he had witnessed his brother Orville send her on the way at Fort Myer be- fore the government acceptance. Off the starting rail at 3.35 o'clock he cir- cled tbe ficld for three minutes. To the spectators it appeared that he was an_ideal flight, for the ma- chine skimmed along 25 feet above the ground. Mr. Wright said when he Janded that when he became better acquainted with the aeroplane he would do better. Lisutenant Lahm in Extra Seat. Again at 4.09 o'clock Mr. Wright was off for another flight. This time he was in the air five minutes.

Mile and a Half Toward Washington. At 5.15 o'clock the American inven- tor and the American soldier went fly- ing off in the air. Up they rose to the highest altitude attained during the afternoon. probably to a height of 150 feet. Instead of limiting their course to circles over the government reservation they- went a-mile and- a half toward Washington in hardly more than as many minutes. As they sailed over the last remaining acres owned by the Calvert family they could, have dropped a bomb in.the old mansion that Lord Baltimore built more than two centuries ago. -Prac- tically under their machine's shadow the British trod nearly a hundred years ago as _they marched from Washington to Baltimore during the war of 1812. In @ few seconds more than five minutes after they had left aviators landed within twenty feet of the starting rail. Lieut. Humphreys’ First Ride. All afternoon Lieutenant Humphreys had been starting the propellers last Mr. Wright beckoned to take his place for his first ride in an aeroplane. The next minute the two were off. Five more and they had finished their circles of the fleld and were bringing the machine to a halt ul\)l\g the narllng rail. “Tt's much more pleasant than au- tomobilin, remarked Lieutenant Humphrevs, “We had a splendid view of the countr) PRESIDENT TAFT IN ‘MARIPOSA BIG TREE GROVES.

Copenhag.» Oct. 8.—Captain De Gerlache, who commanded the Duke of Orleans’ yacht Belgica in the Ant- arctic expedition of 1907, has arrived here. He says that he does not doubt cne word of Dr. Cook’s statement that | he reached the north pole and declares he cannot understand how anyone who knows Cook can question his story. He is absolutely confident that the Ameri- xplorer with the instruments he carried would be able to determine within one-sixtieth of a degree where the pole was located. Captain De Ger- lache also is sure that Commander Peary reached the pole. COST OF THE PANAMA CANAL. $48,063,524 Needed for Fiscal Year Be- ginning July 1, 1810, Washington, Oct. 8.—The Panama canal commission has submitted to the secretary of war an estimate of ex- penses aggregating $48,063.524 for work on the canal during the fiscal year be- ginning July 1, 1910. Of the amount asked for, $13,504,038 is for skilled and unskilled labor, and $20.215.983 is for materials and supplies used in construction work. The total appropriations made congress up to this time on account of the canal are $210,070.468. Lieut.- Colonel Goethals, the chairman, and the chief enginecr of the commission, had declared that in his opinion the great waterway will be completed by January 1, 1415, and has estimated the total cost ap'$475,000,000, which. how- ever, includks the cost of sanitation and éivil go¥érnment and the $50,000, 000 purchase price. The unusually large amount asked for the new fiscal year probably is due to the fact that work on the waterway has entered a more advanced stage. by m Fish- phia Arrested.

Sherer, who was formerly a foreman at one of the largest factor- ies in Bridgeport, has akways borne an excellent reputation.
