C.s THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1908. NO. 64 TO HONOR HOUS TON'S MEMORY. Fattier of the State of Texas and Guiding Spirit of Its Destiny. AM,? li His Career Before He Came to Texas Had been Exciting and Picturesque. His Bravery Attracted the Attention of General Andrew Jackson. (Special to the Argus.) Austin, Thm, Sept. 11. The mem ory ot General Sam Housten iton is te be perpetuated by a monument over hie grave at Hunsville. The Texas Legislature last year appropriated $10, 00 to erect the monument and in trusted the execution of its will to the governor. Progress in the plans has been facilitated by several recent con ferences of those interested in the pro ject, and it is expected that little delay will attend further preparations. Pompeo Coppini, the San Antoai sculptor, has been selected to design the monument. 8am Houston was the father ot the State of Texas. From the time that he was elected general, in 1833, until be accomplished the annexation of the State, in 1845, be was the guiding spirit of its destinies, and piloted it through great storm and stress to tbo safe harbor of union with the United States. Houston's career beiere became te Texas' had been exciting and -pictur- esque. In the war ot 1812 his bravery attracted the attention ot General An drew Jaekson, who always admired Houston's remarkable powers. In Tennessee Houston was district attorney, congressman and. governor in the 20s, .and when he leit that State he went to the Ceerokee tribe ol In dians, by w.hose chief he had. been adopted in ibis youth. For some years he wore the Indian garb, and visited President Jaekson in that eestuaa-e just before he came to Texas. His career in this State began as a member of a constitutional convention iu 1833. Koen afterward bewas appointed general of Texas, and then commander-in-eitief ot the army, iiarly in 183b he was member of the Texas convention tiiat passed .a dec.acation ot independence. and was appointed comiuander-ia chief ot the republic's army. Santa Anna, with a Mexican lorco. entered Texas, and in a few days the Alamo fort surrendered, and the Tex ans in it, numbering nearly 200, anel including Davy -Crockett, Col. JBowie and other famous fighters, were slaughtered in eold blood. Thenceforth the battle cry ol the forces that Houston led was "Remem ber the Alamo," and before the end of April Houston had scored a complete vietery over the Mexicans and Santa Anna was captured. Houston began his agitation fox union with the United States as early as 1838, when he left the presidency, and persisted in it after his eleetion to the chief magistracy again in 1841, am ploying great diplomatic art to over come opposition.

Aviator Makes Two Flights at Fort Myer and Smashes All Records for Time and Distance Flight For a Heavier-Than-Air Machine. (Special to the Akgxts.) Washingtcn iSept. 11. In a flight lasting one hour, ten minutes and twenty-six seconds, Orville Wright late today surpassed all his previous ex plcits for a time and distance flight tor a heavier-than-air machine. Twc flights were made at Fort Myer, "Vir ginia, teday, the first being ot ten min utes and fifty seconds duration, for the purpose of showing what rate of speed he had been traveling during his leng flights of the past three days. Today's test demonstrated, according to tbc a viator's calculation, that the speed of the seroplane during the record-breaking flights ef Wednesday and Thurs day was 39.55 miles an hour. Before making the first flight, Mr. Wright said: "1 want to make a flight of about ten minutes in order to sec how my prdsent speed compares with what I made at Kitty Hawk, N. C." Starting at 4:41 the aeroplane made nine rcunds cf the drill grounds and then landing within a few feet ot the thousand or more spectators, Mr Wrigtt computed the speed of his record breaking flights, "We made 44 miles an hour at Kitty Hawk with a little less power. Of course the turns tbere were much long and therefore did net impair the speed as much as the turns I made here.1' Those wbo witnessed today's leng flight were roused to great -enthusiasm wnen iu avaitor tor ue tnira suc cessive day broke his best previous record. Fifty-seven timos the maehinc passed over the starting point during the 70 ninutes and 24 seconds that it was up. Twice the eroplanist de scribed the figure "S," showing that he oould control his machine in any di rection. A feature of the landing was that she did not stop the motor until the machine touoliodthe ground. THE RICHMOND BLUES. The Seu.h's Msst Noted Military Com pany Suffer Seriously By Fire This Moraing.
