GREATEST PERFORMANCE.
 IN AER0NAUTIC FtAIS.
Farnam Wins the s1o,000 Prize, Con- dueting his Machine in a Circular Kilometer.

Paris. Jan. 13.-Henry Farnam. the French aeronaut, won the prize of S1G000 today by making a circular kilometer in an airship heavier than the air. The successful flight was made in the presence of a committee of the Areo club, and the time was one min ute and twenty-eight seconds. Far nam's feat was accomplished in a brilliant and impressive manner. The flight took place over the field at Issy, five miles southwest of Paris in the presence of a score of enthusiastic aeEonauts and about 800 spectators. With a preliminary run of 100 yards over the ground the aeroplane had risen to a height of twelve or fifteen feet before it reached d starting point, and then, with Outstretched wings, sailed away across the field at e height of from twenty-five to thirty feet, going at the rate of twerty-four miles an hour. As it approached the outer mark it described a graceful curve. descending slightly. The turn was completed successfully. The wind rfghted the machine and the aeroplane came sailing home on an even keel.
 As it passed the finish mark, Far nam shut off the power of the machine and it descended lightly to earth a winner of the prize, amino the cheers of the spectators. The motor used has eight cylinders and develops 30 horsepower It weighs 156 pounds. The manufacturer of the motor also wins medal. Aeranauts consider the exploit the greatest since Santos Du- mont circumnavigated the Eiffel tower in a dirigible balloon and as being of far more prospective value.

San Francisco, Jan. l3.-What is regarded as the most important con
 ference affecting the prosecution in
 the bribery graft cases since the Al
 indictments were returned, was held
 this afternoon in the office of the dis
 trict attorney between Langdon. Burns
 and Rnef It lasted two hours and
 was a continuation of the conference
 held on Saturday. It was to finally
 determine whether Ruef should be the
 star witness in the trials of Patrick

 eide what immunity the prosecution will grant Ruef, wholly or partially, if he agrees to testify to receiving bribe money from the public service. cOrpo- ratiOns. and paying part to the bood- ling supervisors.
 Not only the successful or the un- successful prosecution of the indicted persons. it is generally believed. but the fate of Ruef as well, hinged on the outcome of the conference. Although Spreckels was not present at the con- ference. he conferred for an hour with
 Burns and Langdon in the latter's of flee, but left just before Ruef arrived 1 in an automobile.
 When Ruef emerged he said he had promised to say nothing of what took place and he appeared to have passed through a severe ordeal.
 'Langdon will give out a statement said Ruef to the Associated Press; If
 it is correct will read it tomorrow with great deal of pleasure; if in correct. with great deal of indigna- | tiOn.''
 From this 1t appeared that the con- | ference had resulted satisfactorily to Ruef, but that fear lurked in his mind ! that possibly Langdon would not place
 the matter before the public quite to his liking. Langdon announced that he
 would give out n statement at 10 o'clock tonight.

 told it to Thaw but careful as he was
 on that point. he again drew an objec-
 tion from the prosecuting officer who

 into a field of stuff which in my opin-
 ion, should be excluded" Again Judge
 Bowling sustained the objection. It
 was reported at tie beginning of the
 trial that Jerome would fight to ex- clude the testimony of young Mrs Thaw
 During Littleton's speech Thaw sat wide-eyed, and pallid. looking fixedly at his counsel. Toward the close he seemed rather displeased with some
 thing that was said, and leaning for
 ward, scrubbed off a note describing
 the killing of White. Littleton said: :
 "Thaw'S madness was born and bred
 in him. He had been set on by the stories he had heard: he had gone to the district attorney with them and to Comstock. These stories ran in his ! head until. staggering among the stairs of Madison Square Garden. yet not drunk, his eyes burning like two

The result was not mur- der but the act of a mad man who afterward, wild-eyed and irrational. cried out in his cell that he heard the voices of little children calling and proclaiming that he had but acted as the agent of providence"

 to prove that Thaw was sane at the present time if he offered such an ac- cumulation of evidence as to his pro-

It BristIed With Surprises for District
 Attorney Jerome
The New Evidence Will Consist of Proof Concerning the Insanity of the Defendant From His Birth the Moment of Whites Death

New York. Jan. 13.-Thc Thaw trial moved with a rush today. After the state had presented its direct case and Assistant District Attorney Garvan had characterized the killing of White as a premeditated. deliberate and cow ardly murder, Martin w. Littleton, for the defense, made the opening plea for the prisoner. His promise of new ev- idence was sensational and held the supreme attention of all the court room. Jerome, seemingly taken by surprise, seated himself in the witness chair better to hear the outline of the new defense.
 Littleton promised to forge a chain of circumstances and produce a line of testimony which will prove that ThaW was undeniabl-- insane at the time ot the homicide. Evidence of hereditary insanity. of strange, unusu- al acts not even hinted at during the first trial, were promised by Littleton, who said that physicians and nurses who attended Thaw were hurrying here from Europe: that teachers of the defendant in his childhood would be on hand to give their impressions Of the ~wide-eyed. distant boy"
 In conclusion, Littleton challenged the district attorney to produce a sin gle reputable physician who would say that Thaw was not insane II the time he killed the architect. Littleton's speech fairly bristled with surprises. but Jerome had his surprise to offer. and when Littleton started to launch into the rcations Of White with the girl whom Thaw married the district attorney was on his feet with an ob- jeCtion- Justice Bowling sustained him and the name of the architect was not linked again with that of the defend ants wife.

tors and despised by the officials of the
English people. Most of their protests
were of the most trivial nature. They
had gone into the tug of war as an
afterthought more than anything else
and expected with their weight men
and shot putters to win. They never
had any practice in the tug of war,
and when they got up against a team
of trained men they were pulled over
the mark like a lot of children. Then
came the howl about the boots of the
policemen. They were only their ordi-
nary service boots. and the Ameri-
can protest was derided on all sides"
Speaking of the famous 400-meter
race, in which Carpenter, the Ameri-
can was alleged to have "bored"
Halswelle, Mr.. Crocker declared en-
phatically il was one of the most de-
liberate fouls that could have been
devised. More than that, Mr.. Crocker
AYERS that the foul was premeditated.
Early in the day he had heard that
there was a deal being framed up, the
news having leaked out from the dress
ing room of the Americans, and he sta
toned himself above the press stand
and Immediately above the spot at
which the jostling took place. At the
turn Of the track, said Mr.. Crocker,
Carpenter deliberately veered out from
the inside berth while Halswelle was
working into it. Crocker blames an in
efficient starter for Kerr's failure to
take second place.
