Paris, March 21.-Following his
record performance Of yesterday In
flying a mile and a half in his aero.
plane, Henry Farman today made an.
other spectacular flight at Issi, cover
ing two and a half kilometers, a little
less than two miles, in three minutes
and 81 seconds.
Later, in company with Leon Della.
grange, he entered the latter's aero.
plans which moved over the ground
at q rate Of about 80 miles an hour
and then went into the air, making a
short but highly successful flight. This
is the first time that an aeroplane car
rying two persons has made a success
full flight and the aeronauts were
cheered by thousands OF spectators
who had gathered. These accomplish.

Paris, March 21.-The Temps today

Baron Takahira, the Japanese ambas'
sador to the United States, to its for.
eign editor. NJ. Tardiu, speaking for
himself, says that. although there Is
no chance at present Of a conflict be.
tween Japan and the United states,
the immigration question has not been
actually solved, because Japan does
not recognize the right Of the United
States to restrain her immigration,
and therefore the question may later
serve as a basis or pretext for new
difficulties. M. Tardiu also draws at.
tention to the fact that the undertak.

Judge kohlsaat Finds In Favor Of De.

Great Breakwater.

Chicago, March 21.-The final de.
cree in the case of Oberlin N. Carter,
former captain in the United States
engineering corps, was entered today
by Judge Kohlsaat In the United
States circuit court. Practically all
the findings are in favor Of the for.
mer army Officer.
While Carter does not get q large
share Of the funds which have been
the subject Of litigation between him
and the government, the cost Of this
and all other suits against him are
taxed against the government. By
the decree Carter is awarded $4,000,
which was held by the court to be
without t.taint."
The total amount attached by the
federal authorities some years ago
was about 100000. The greater part
Of this Carter claimed to have re.
ceived from the late Robert +. Yves.
colt Of New York.
tTalnted" Money.
In an opinion announced by Judge
Kohlsaat some weeks ago 1t was held
that a large part Of the funds received
by Carter from Wescott were "taint'
ed" and while Carter may not have
had knowledge OF the secret partner
ship between Wescott and Greene and
Gaynor, yet in the eyes Of the law he
was supposed to have knowledge that
Greene and Gaynor, the contractors,
were reaplapg enormous profits from from
their work.
All the expenses Of the suits against
Carter in Chicago, New York, savan'
nah and other places. except q small
per cent to be determined later, are
to be paid by the government. This
amount is estimated to be about $780,,
900. The court holds that the money
which it was claimed Carter received
from Greene and Gaynor, nor than
$685., 900, came from Wescott.
