Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGON IAN, TUESDAY, . JANUARY 14,. 1908. 3 FARNAM solves FLYING PROBLEM Airship Heavier Than the Air . Travels Under Full N ' Control. SPEED 24 MILES AN HOUR IVcnchinaii Wins lieu tsoli-Archdeacon -Prize by Greater . Feat Than Santos-Dumonfs Will Be Banqueted on Thursday. PARTS, Jan. 13. Henry Farnam, French aeronaut, won the Deutech Arch dearmi priz of J10.000 today by making a I'ircular kilometer 1n an airship heavier than air. The successful flight was made In the presence of an official committee of the Aero Club. Tne time was one min utes, "and 28 seconds. Farnam's feat was accomplished in a brilliant and impressive manner in the presence of M. Archdeacon, M. Santos Dumont, Count de la Vaulx, Captain Korber. M. Blerlot and a score of other enthusiastic aeronauts and about 500 spectators. Flies Fast, Turns Kaslly. With tbe preliminary run of a hun dred yards over the ground the aero plane had risen to a height of 12 or 16 feet before it reached the starting pole. Then witli outstretched wings t sailed away across the" field at a height of from 26 to 30 feet, going at the rate of 24 miles an hour. As - it ap proached the outer mark it described a graceful curve, descending slightly the , while. The turn was completed successfully. The wind righted ths ma chine, and the aeroplane came sailing home on an even keel. As it passed the finish mark, Karnum cut off the power and the machine descended lightly to the earth, winner of the iJeutsch-Archdeacon prize, amid thr cheers of the spectators. The motor used has eight cylinders and developed 50 .horsepower. It weighs 176 pounds. .The manufacturers of the motor also win the medal. Greater Than Santos-Dun. ont. The Aero Club wili give a banquet next Thursday evening., when Karnam will be presented with the prize he won' today and the gold medal of the club. As the outer mark is 512 meters from the start, it is estimated that with the curve described by- Farnam the aeroplane covered a distance of 1300 meters. Aeronauts consider this ex ploit the greatest since Santos-Dumont circumnavigated the EifTel Tower in a dirigible balloon. and as being of far more value. FIGHT FOR STATE RIGHTS Southern? Members .Recall Recon struction Hays In House. WASHINGTON, Jan. 1 3. Vigorous defense of state's rights in dealing with violations' of civil riKhts or with special state elections, where troops have been railed Into service, served to enliven the debate in the House of Representa tives today in connection with the con sideration of the bill to codify the penal laws of the United States, A number of Democrats, mostly from the Southern States, strenuously aought. by .amendment, to reserv.e to the states themselves discretion as to the quali fications of voters or of persons to serve on juries, and to limit the powers of Federal Judges In certain cases, but every attempt failed. Republicans presented a solid Iront, and the votes were all on party lines. Hepburn of Iowa opposed the motion by .Southern Democrats to strike out tho laws enacted during the recon struction days, saying that Governor Vardaman. of Mississippi, had made his race for the Senate on a platform call ing for the nullification of the consti tutional amendments, and declaring that ho (Hepburn) wanted the laws to live so long as that spirit survived. Williams replied .that no one expected an amendment to the Constitution along the lines proposed by Vardaman. De Armond of Missouri expressed the view tljat the power given to Federal Judges in certain cases should be curbed. He said he fnvored giving them .lust as little option and just as little absolute power as possible. He then offered an amendment to section 23 of the bill, relating to conspiracies to Intimidate Government officers, by changing the fine to not "less" than 1500 and Imprisonment with or without hard labor of not "less" than six years, or both. The original provision calls for a flue of not "more" than $5000 and not "more" than six years' Imprison ment. Williams of Mississippi opposed the .amendment, and it was lost. Williams then moved to strike out the whole section, remarking that It was put on tho statute books to meet the Kuklux conditions of reconstruction days. The 'motion was lost. 111 to 129. COXKI.ICT WITH BOXAPARTE Liquor Dealers Point Out That Branding Is Illegal. WASHINGTON. Jan. 13. For several weeks the National Wholesale ' Liquor lea'ers' Association has been making capital out of the fact that the regula tions of the Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury Department respecting the branding of whisky and the opinion ren dered by Attorney-General Ronaparte un der the pure food and drug act were in conflict. The Whiskey Dealers' Association pointed to the fact that the Internal Rev enue Bureau, through its saugers. was br.imllng distillates as whiskies, rums ot (Sins. Irrespective of the Attorney-Gen eral's opinion given to the' Agricultural Department that such distillates should be marked high wines, alcohol or spirits. In response to u request from the Secre tary of the -Treasury for an opinion, the Attorney-General has forwarded to Sec letavy Cortelynu an opinion holding that the, portion of the regulations of the Com missioner of Internal Revenue connected with the branding of distilled spirits is contrary to law and must be modified in accordance with the terms of the con struction given to the law by the Attorney-General. dltional, but meets the naval view as to the likelihood of larger battleships in the future. This will increase the cost of the-locks from $52,000,000. the commission's mini mum, to $57,000,000. There will also be. a corresponding increase of $5,000,000 in the grand total for digging the great waterway, which members have placed at the lowest figure at J200.000.000. MAKE CAN" Ali IOCKS WIDER Taft Recommends Change Which Adds $5,000,000 to Cost. WASHINGTON., Jan. 13. Secretary Taft has written a letter to the President rec ommending an Increase of the width of the t'anania Canal locks from I'M) feet, as at present planned, to 110 feet. The change will cost about to,000,000 ad- VEKY STRONG TAFT TALK Alabama Man Looks lor His Sure Nomination and Election. COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 13. "The Repub licans of Alabama have but one candi date for President and that Is William H. Taft." said Perry B. Gray. Democratic lieutenant-Governor of Alabama, who passed through. Columbus today. He said further: "The South is for Bryan for the Demo cratic nominee, and I believe he wiil be the choice of the convention. If he is. the Republicans have but one man who can beat him, and that is Taft. Taft appears to be popular not only throughout the South, but in other parts of the coun try 1 have visited. I feel, though I am a, Democrat, that if he is nominated, he will be surely elected,, and, further, I re gard his nomination as assured." MUCH IRK FOR MAYOR TAYLOR Oregon Land Officers Confirmed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 13. The Senate today con firmed the following Oregon land officers: F. C. Bramwell, register. La Grande: J. X. Watson, register, Lakeview; Frank Davey, receiver. Burns; A. A. Roberts, receiver. La. Grande; Fred P. Oronemiller, receiver, Lakeview. It also confirmed Colonel Medorem Crawford, of Oregon, as Brigadier-General.' T THREE DYNAMITE BOMBS PART LY WRECK BUILDING. Ten Injured and All Tenants Badly Scared Thought to Be Work of Black Hand. NEW YORK. Jan. 13. Ten persons were injured by an explosion tonight of three dynamite bombs, which partially wrecked a six-story tenement building on East Sixty-fourth street. The injured were removed to Flower Hospital. The dynamite bombs were planted In the cellar of the tenement and exploded one after another In qi'ick succession. The explosion threw the occupants of the tenement Into a panic, and there was much excitement among- the patients and nurses of Flower Hospital, which is only a short distance away. Scores of people rushed from the ad jacent houses, and the police had all they could do to quiet the terror-stricken. The police would not allow the tenants of the house "to use the wrecked stair way, as it was considered too dangerous. An alarm'of fire had been sent in soon after the explosion, and . the firemen helped the tenants out of the building-. There are a number of Italian families in the house. The police believe that the bombs were exploded by members of the Black Hand Society. 17 ARRESTED FOR FIGHTING Louisiana Labor Rioters Scattered In Several Jails. NEW ORLEANS. Jan. 13. The recent labor riot at Chathamville. La., in which a score of Bulgarians -were driven from the town with shotguns, has resulted in the arrest of 17 persons up to today, charged with participating in the fighting. Those under arrest have been distributed over a wide territory in North Louisiana, being scattered for safe keeping in sev eral jails. One Bulgarian was Killed and several wounded. They were attacked because they consented to cut wages at a lumber mill. HUNDRED DIE BY FIRE (Continued From First Pag-e.) sons were injured by being trampled upon either on the stairway or by jumping from the windows of tbe burn ing structure. Of this number at least a score were fatally injured. At least a half dozen succumbed to their In juries after being hurried to one of the temporary hospitals. Three children, ranging in age from 8 to 12 years, and one woman were dragged from the building by persons who had rushed to the rescue but had been trampled almost to a pulp. The skull of one of the unfortunate children had been crushed as though an egg shell. Cannot Find Human Ashes.

Hasten Cleaning of Streets Be fore Fleet Comes City" Hall and Court Building. SAX FRANCISCO Jan. 13. SpcIal. At noon last Wednesday the Schmitz re gime came formally to an end and Mayor Taylor and the . reform administration took possession of the city government. True, Dr. Taylor has been in office for six months, but he was surrounded by a coterie of Schmitz office-holders who have just been displaced by the men elected on the reform ticket. The new administra tion, coming on the heels of six years of corruption, during which the city was al lowed to drift as a plundered bark on the high peas, is destined to be one of great achievement." The work of rehabilitation remains to be done. The rehabilitation of the individual and the private enter prise has been . accomplished. For the city little, almost nothing, has been done. These facts were polpted out by the Mayor in his Inaugural address, and a pica made for immediate achievement. While lots in the burned area have been cleared ano new skyscrapers erected, the city buildings have been allowed to re main just as the earthquake and fire left them. The only exception to this is the Hall of Records, which was put in shape to make it habitable. . Xew Water System First. The address of the Mayor to the new Supervisors asked that consideration be given first of all to an auxiliary water system. The plans have already been prepared, and ca'l for an expenditure of $5,500,000. A general scheme of civic un dertakings has been drawn up, whiclr" total in cost $32,500,000,' but it is improba ble that a bond Issue for the gntire amount will be asked at once." The proposed water system is entirely for the purpose 'of fighting fire. The plans have been go arranged that an earthquake would not disrupt it. It is figured that the city would save enough in insurance in pix years to pay for the plant. At the present time, due to the excessive rates imposed, the people of the city pay $3,800,000 annually for insur ance. The completion of the new plant would'cut this down $1,000,000. So serious has become the insurance problem that merchants in Van Ness avenue are unable to place their risks. Flimsy wooden buildings stand one next to the other for more than 20 blocks, and no company will increase its insurance on the street. In some places the rate has gone to 714 and lfl per cent. Under the auxiliary system four huge reservoirs of fresh water are to be con structed. Two of these will be on Twin Peaks, the highest points In the city, an elevation of 775 feet. Each of these reser voirs will have a capacity of 5.000.000 gal lons. A reservoir of 1.000.000 gallons will be located on the. Clay-street hill and a fourth on an elevation near the park. In addition cisterns are to be placed beneath the streets throughout the city. The reservoirs and the cisterns will con tain fresh water. The rest of the project will call for salt water.. Restore Streets and Sewers. Two large pumping stations are to be established In the. bay on opposite sides of the peninsula, capable of a constant flow equal to that of a dozen Are engines. Another part of the scheme provides for tireboats along the waterfront, which could be used not only to fight fire along the wharves, but could on the instant be turned into pumping plants and con nected with the system of pipes which will extend over the piers at the foot of Market street. The plant will have its own Independent system, of pipes arranged to withstand sudden shock. They will be so con structed, that a break can be located on the instant, and will be -in short sec tions, so that repairs can be made with small loss of time. The second feature of the plan of muni cipal improvements relates to, the re habilitation of the streets and the sewers. This will entail an expenditure ot be tween $7,000,000 and $10,000,000. This will, also engage the attention of the new administration and will certainly be in cluded in the bond issue. A special effort will be made to get the streets In condition before next May, when the fleet is due to arrive, but it is doubtful if a great deal can be accom plished by that time. Municipal Buildings Needed. Another feature which will surely be Incorporated in the first boner issue will be that of new city buildings. Two at least must be constructed, the City Hall and the Hall of Justice. A spirited de bate has arisen over the style of the new City Hall. The old building will be torn down. It was an impressive build ing with a large central dome resembl ing that of the National Capitol. Wings spread out from the central part of the structure and made a picturesque, rambl ing edifice. Its cost was $7,000,000. The fact that 'it fell such an easy prey to the earthquake ha3 prejudiced the public mind against its reproduc tion. Matt 1. Sullivan, a member of the retiring Board of Supervisors, vig orously opposed the construction of another City Hall on the same lines and proposed that the city erect a modern office building Instead. The suggestion at first startled the people, and then, as the practical nature of the suggestion made itself apparent, it brought forth a chorus of approval. This in turn created opposition from ' the artists, who have urged that beauty be not sacrificed for the sake of the few extra million dollars It would cost. An office building that would answer all the needs of the city could he erected, for $1,009,000 and would save the municipality $6,000,000 at a time when every penny is needed. The debate over the new City Hall has become one of the topics of the lunch table. Put Wires Underground. The other Items in the scheme of im provement outlined by' the new admin istration are new schools. library, hos pital, parks, playgrounds and the ex tension of streets, what will be- In eluded in the bond issue will depend upon the purse of the public, but a strong plea will be made that none be omitted. . Those who looked to a period of calm in the discussion of the city's affairs with the reform Board of Supervisors in power, have been some what surprised at the acrimonious de bates which mark their, .proceedings. The main point of discussion has been the so-called "pole and wire" bill. It was introduced by Supervisor Sullivan, who sought primarily thus to bring about the revocation of the overhead trolley franchise, secured by bribery from the boodling Board of Supervis ors. The ordinance provided that all the wires of the city be placed under ground in two years. After a very sharp battle a compromise was reached by which the city was districted and the wires are to be ordered under ground as rapidly as possible. f Oprtam IPBie g&V- II: Gotfd Merchandise Only Quality Considered Oar Prices Are Always the- Lowest . U WAS MAD, SAYS LITTLETON (Continued From First Pare.) his arm as he entered the garden. . Mr. Smith testified at one time that as soon as Thaw left him. on the garden roof lie looked in the direction where Stanford White sat. Later he said he did not know White was on the roof until some time after the shooting. Mr. Littleton demanded1 to know why the witness had sworn Thaw was looking at White when he did not know White was in the place. Mp. Smith shouted ifi response that ' he was testifying to the best of his ability and in. view of subsequent events. After saying he bad immediately formed a men tal note as to where Thaw was looking, witness 'said later he had not reached that conclusion until after he knew who the victim was. Knew Nothing ot Quarrel. Mr. Smith said that previous to the night of the tragedy he had never heard of any difficulty or strained re lations between Thaw and WThite. Mr. Littleton referred frequently to the transcript of the witness testimony at the first trial, and asked Impeaching questions based upon it. At one point Mr. Smith said the record was in error. With the- beginning of the afternoon session .Mr. Littleton continued to ques tion the witness about the details of his conversation with Thaw, and then sud denly asked: m "Did -not it occur to you at the time or has it not occurred since that Thaw may have mistaken you for some one else?" "Certainly not," . replied Mr. Smith. "He knew who I .was." -. . He CAntradlcU Smith. Warner Paxton, the' engineer of Madi son Square Garden, who was an- eye witness to the tragedy, followed Mr. Smith on the stand, -and repeated his tes timony of a year ago. Paxton said that after Thaw was arrested, he requested to be taken down in the elevator, as he did not want to appear before any of the people on the roof garden. Going down in the lift Thaw said: , "He ruined my wife." Young Mrs. Tiiaw said: " "Yes. Harry, but look at the fix you're in now.' " 'Never mind, dearie," Thaw replied, 'I have probably saved your life.' " Cross-examined, Mr. Paxton said he sat near the center aisle of the garden all evening. He contradicted the testi mony of Mr. Smith as to Thaw's walking impatiently up and down the aisle, and declared he saw Thaw go up the aisle. Dr. Timothy I.eahan. coroners phy sician, was called to tell' of the wounds which Thaw inflicted on Stanford White and from which death resulted. The pis tol with which the shooting was done was admitted in evidence, and Jerome quietly remarked: "Ther people rest." A 15-minutes recess was ordered to al low a consultation of the attorneys for the defense. Justice Dowling took oc casion at this time to say that his atten tion had been called to certain anony mous communications sent to jurors. t the writers of such letters could be ap prehended, they would be punished for contempt of court. Littleton -Sketches Thaw's "Life. Mr. Littleton, in his statement for the defense, decfared that Mr. Garvan had misused the term insanity when ho said It was the duty of the jury to take the definition of it as laid doVn by the Legislature. "He meant responsibility," said Mr. Littleton, "for the definition of insanity is too elusive a thing for your mind or mine. It eludes even the trained minds of those who have given many years of their life to its study." The only excuse for a crime of the character charged In the indictment, de clared Mr. Littleton, is insanity, but he denied that any1 condition of insanity had been Invented for the exigencies of the moment. "The question is whether or not Thaw was Insane at the moment he committed .the act with which he stands charged. You may search the record of his past, as you will have an opportunity to do." Mr. Littleton continued, "to see if there was any light upon the situation, and I say to you In all frankness that you may also search his life after the event, if you choose, to see if there is anything there to shed any light on this transac tion.'' Proof of Hereditary Insanity. The huihan mind was described by Mr. Littleton - as inscrutable. .. No man could fathom it. no man could say why one man should be gifted above another, no man- could set himself up as saying he could judge infallibly the acts of another: Mr. Littleton said there would be no attempt to Invent any kind of extra ordinary malady, despite the fact that District Attorney Jerome had intimated in liia questioning of jurors that some such thing would be tried. "I ask you men of the jury to judge by the facts presented," he said. Mr. Littleton sketched the life of the defendant from 'his birth.- .On the father's side, he said, a relative became Insane and died 5 years of age. A cousin of the father, one William Thaw, died insane in an ayslum in Virginia, Alice Thaw, on the father's side, is In an asylum at Pittsburg, suffering from in sanity, inT which delusions of persecu tion are the characteristics. Harry Thaw, a cousin, also is insane. From the father. Thaw inherited the insta bility of nervousness. Saying he would like to be spared the recital of the delicate details. Mr. Littleton next told of the insanity which he said existed in the mother's family.' Mrs. Thaw would come on. sick though ehe Is, to tell her story. The attorney dwelt at length on the subject of hereditary 'insanity, and of the chances of her boy to escape the destiny forged for him from his birth, impossible to flee from the fever which burned in his blood at birth and con tinues to burn until he dies. Harry Thaw was an unusual child. .He suf fered In Infancy from unusual aliments. Mr. Littleton said that Thaw's teach er in childhood would be one of the most important witnesses for the de fense, and would give her impressions of the boy who seemed so unusual to her that she set down her observations of him in her diary. He lived apart from other children and cherished no playmates. Distant. Wild-Eyed Boy: "His teacher," continued Mr. Little ton, "will tell you of the strange vagaries of the boy, whose mind at times flashed with the brilliance ot a star, but at other times was wholly deficient. Her entry in the diary at the day Harry K. Thaw came to school would tell you: " 'Quiet, distant, wild-eyed boy who came today, ' could not speak a word that any of us could understand.'-" Mr. Littleton followed Thaw's career through other schools and said lie would produce the boy's teachers, who would tell of his strange actions. ' As a boy Thaw traveled abroad with his parents and at Rome and at Monte Carlo was under the care of physicians. The doctor who attended him at Rome and the nurse who watched by his bed-.

In London in 18 Thaw was again under the care of the physician who now is upon the ocean to appear as a witness In the case.

Xot Aroused by Slanders.' "And at the. time. I want you to re member." .said the lawyer to the Jury, "there had been n vile slanders and lies told about thisi man; he bad not sunk into the bottom dregs of society to which he has been ascribed of late. He was just a boy suffering from the infirmities of those who had gone be fore him." - Mr. Littleton was frequently inter rupted by Mr..
