FARNAM solves
FLYING PROBLEM
Airship Heavier Than the Air

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

conflict.
The Whiskey Dealers' Association

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

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.

WATER SYSTEM IS FIRST
Great Plant Tor Fire Protection.
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.

(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-.
