They scoff at the police, laugh at the futile efforts of detectives end figuratively snap their fingers in the face of Police Commissioner Bingham. of burglaries are being committed every week.

The homes of many of the most prominent men and women have had at least one visit. Many of them have been broken into more than once; or from seven to fourteen times. Millions of dollars In loot has been secureddiamonds, pins, watches, trinkets, clothing, money, and brioA-brac. So bold have been of the thieves that they have under the noses of the police stolen even parlor mantels from houses whose owners were absent. They have de-fleet the old edict of Byrns and have gone below the interdicted dead line 'this only the other day.

when they broke into the office of Theodore P. Shonts, head of the Interborough system. at 116 Broadway, and looted the place. Mies Helen GouM's home at Forty-seventh street and Fifth avenue was easy prey for them. They robbed Heinrich Con-Fled, former director of the Metropolitan opera house, seven times, securing over 000 in booty.

They even went out of the way to offer insult to the Pinkerton agency and its famed sleuths by looting the home of the head of that system, George D. Bangs." will probably make a few short flights tomorrow In order to see how my present speed compares with that made in our flights at Dayton and Kittytawk." To the crowd that surrounded him after landing from the second flight Mr. Wright appeared to be the coolest man around and entirely free from nervousness, nor did he show any signs of fatigue. He jokingly remarked when somebody asked him about the effect of his experiences on hie health that he now weighed several pounds more than when he came to Washington to start lila experiments with his flying machine. Difficult to Converse.

One feature that is annoying to the aviator the difficulty of conversing with his companion when one is taken along, the signal office tspecifications requiring the contractor to furnish a machine capable of carrying two men. This was demonstrated forcibly today when talk between the two men was limited because of the high pitch to which It was necessary for both Mr. Wright and to raise ther voices. flight with a companion was not the first made by Mr. Wright.

During his experiments in North Carolina some months ago he took another person along with him. Secretary Wright watched the movements of the machine with the closest attention and manifested the greatest interest4n everything that was going on. The secretary of war declared that it was a most wonderful machine and added: "Perhaps it may be valuable for scout purposes and probably for many others. I suppose this is the beginning of the steady development of this means of navigation." Remarkable, Says Metcalf. secretary Metcalf, whose interest in the movements of the aviator was second to none those on the field, declared that the exhibition was remarkable.

"He appears to have the machine under perfect control," said Secretary Metcalf "This appears to be a remarkable feature of today's tests. I should like to view the aeroplane in a gale of wind to see how it would act." Perhaps the most enthusiastic man on the field was Secretary Straus, and as soon as Mr. Wright landed his machine he hurried to him and extended his congratulations, at the same time plying him with many ques'dons as to his experience and feeling while soaring in the air. Mr. Wright in reply to the ecretary's questions told him that he was not at all nervous, but that his work was easy and that after the machine had once fairly got started the matter of its continuance in flight was a very one.

He did not, he told the secretary, feel seriously any strain after the machine had once got in the air. The principal work was to get the aeroplane fairly moving on its aerial voyage. Solves Aerial Problem. Thp problem of flight in the air is solved." was the declaration made by Gen. Murray, the chief of artillery of the army, as he looked skyward and viewed the movements cf Mr.

Wright's machine. The utility of the machine is to be worked out." he added. Gen. Murray believed the aeroplane could be euccessfully used for scout work by the army and might be valuable for purposes of warfare under certain conditions. It was suggested to Gen.

Murray that an experiment be made as to the feasibility of launching a shell from an aeroplane. The method suggested was to have Mr. Wright soar over an outline of a battleship which could be reproduced on the drill grounds and while above it to drop a sandbag. That would be worth trying," said the general. When the signal corpegets the machine we will probably undertake some experiments of that sort with their coOperaCon." Gen.

Allen and the officers of the signal corps were given much praise for their efforts to have the United States army adopt airships and flying machines.

The minister of finance is coneidering the advisability of the state assisting the ruined depositors. Began Thefts in 1894.

According to Alberts own story he began falsifying the accounts of the bank in 1894, seven years before he 'was appointed minister of justice. He conducted his speculations in gold mine I stock through London firma. going to that city twice each year to confer with them for the last fourteen years. A parliamentary committee wall appointed Aug. 4 to investigate the charges of corruption against the minister.

and it was announced that the committee would devote itself especially to an inquiry into M. Alberti' connection with certain banks through which his accusers eaid he conducted negotiations with private interests, hiding such transactions under an official cloak. Thought It Political Trickery. Alberti and Ills friends said he was bPing sacrificed by higher circits because of his love for the peasantry. His supporters within the last month promised that there would be a The aeroplane with which Orville.

Wright yesterday at Fort Myer remained in the air for 62 minutes and 15 seconds, or pver twice the time of Delagrane's record of Monday, is a duplicate of the one which Wilbur Wright is operating in France. The machine is sustained in the air by the reactions which result from thin surfaces ar wings moved horizontally, almost edgewise, through the air at a small angle of Incidence. either by the application of mechanical power or by the force of gravity. The wings (1 and 2) are made of cloth stretched on a light frame of wood and wire. They are connected with each other through ball and socket Joints by the uprignt standards (3), and can both flex and twist.

The front horizontal rudder (5) is almost free from pressure in action. IN-hen the rear edge is raised or lowered the course of the machine is kept upward or downward at the will of the operator, who lies prone on the lower wing surface. He grasps the nearer roller (9), which controls the rudder. The tail or rear rudder (10) controls the motion of the machine to right or left. The rudders are moved by tiller ropes.

The hips of the operator rest on the movable cradle (11). and thereby he imparts motion to the wings.

If you are a girl who is thinking of getting married you might as well understand you would make an irrevocable mistake if you wore anything else on the big day.

About 500 women who crowded into the Masonic temple this afternoon to see the newest bridal costume shown by Mrs. Elizabeth A. C. White, who is running her annual fall fashion exhibition. became tremendously excited when a trained model stepped upon the stage wearing the new est thing in bridal gowns.

There were a few men present, but the men peered cautiously from behind dummies, now and then hitching gently at the skirt of a wife or sister and inquiring if it wasn't time to beat it. Whereupon the daring male person who had no especial business to be there anyway brought upon himself the frowns of all the women within sound of his grumble and went and bid once more behind the particular dummy he had picked out beforehand. Plain and Marvelously Simple. I. You must know, ladies," Mrs.

White was saying. that the day of exaggerated bridal dresses has passed. Simplicity, modified by artistic expression, Is the aim now of the great artists who build our most noteworthy costumes. Jennie, please walk backward So; observe bow plain. how marvelously simple.

The coquette wants style above everything else. She may suffer excruciatingly, but if the style is there she will grin like the Spartan boy who stole a fox which gnawed his breast. Many women think that getting a corset means merely paying money enough for the article. That is all wrong. With patience and knowledge a woman can get the right kind of corsets for $1..

Mrs. White waved a hand and of models attractively done up in lingerie, pink, baby blue, ecru, blacka dozen colors filed across the stage and came to attention. It should be said, though, that the Word lingerie as used here does not meanwell.

So far as a man reporter could gather in an afternoon, sheen and mirage silks are going to have it on all the other silks in the world this season, which seems important Three Corsets, Filled, Appear.

Dayton, Sept. 9.The Rev. Milton Wright, father of Wilbur and Orville. when shown an account of the triumph of his son, expressed great satisfaction and pride at the fame which had been earned by his boys. Mr.

Wright is 89 years old, but is healthy and vigorous. My sons have richly earned the success which is theirs," he said. For years this finished machine has been bullded patiently bit by bit by my talented lads. It seems so simple now as compared with other great inventions, but I alone, aside from themselves, know how many false starts and heartbreaking failures they have had in their work. At First Feared Ridicule.

'The workb Is now largely prepared for aerlay navigation, but when my boys first turned their attention to its solution the matter was considered so visionary that they were ashamed to tell their friends what they sought for fear of ridicule. They have succeeded as I always have known they would, but I hardly hoped to live to see that success as I have today."

The three corset models wheeled like a file of soldiers, disappeared for a few seconds behind the clump of dressers, then reappeared strangely metamorphosed.

Then the girl, wrapped in a contraption of silk and whalebone especially built for her needs, looked fatter somehow and much more substantial. The other girl.

clothing. Without a properly fitted and properly made corset it is Impossible to wear a gown attractively, no matter how good or expensive that gown may be. Women who stay at home, women who are in business, women who are coquettes or who frequent the show places of the town, are equally interested in getting the right kind of corset to wear.
