ing attention among the officers OF the
United States signal corps and is to
especial interest to the army lieuten-
ants who nave become adept in the

Officers of the signaI corps also wish
to see the qualities of the machine
developed to their extreme capacity
They want to know by actual expert
ence what the aeroplane could be de-
pended upon to do in time of war,
when reconnaissance to gain informa-
ton of the enemies whereabouts and
strength would be of the highest i'm
portance.
To do that it will be necessary to
know what velocity of wind could be
encountered with safety.

FRISCO TO HAVE A

San Francisco, Cal, Nov 5.-The
dropping of the graft prosecutions
and the making of San Francisco the
widest open town in the country, will,
1t is generally believed today. be the
speedy result of the election of p. Fl.
McCarty to the mayoralty and of
Charles Fickert to the county prose-
torship.
1t is believed on all sides that the
mayor elect has in mind the sporting
features in Paris, rather than it's ar
tistic achievements.
1t is still being openly charged that
Fickert, the fusion candidate, who de-
feated Francis j. Heney, was backed
by Patrick Calhoun, head of the Unit
ed Railroad Co, VINO was recently
tried on charge OF bribery, the jury
disagreeing. The San Francisco Post,
which is bitterly opposed to the graft
prosecutions, supported Fickert.
These facts, in connection with
Fickert's statement today that he did
not believe in the un-American spy
system that had been employed by
Heney to gather evidence in his graft
prosecutions" have convinced a large

The Papin covered the distance In

The radius OF action indicated BY the

NINE. STEINHElL
SEVERELY GRILLED

Paris, Nov 5.-The Steinheil case
remained the center OF interest today.
Contrary TO expectation, Mime. Stein
he'll again COOK the stand, it having
been decided to resume the direct in
terrogatory addressed to her yester-
day.
She plainly showed the effects OF the
trying ordeal she had passed through
during the last two days. Great black
rings were plainly distinguishable UNI
der her eyes and her face had the coll
or of putty. Nevertheless she rose to
her feet when the inquiry began and
responded bravely to the examination.
Presiding Judge M. De Wales showed
solicitation at the outset lest the strain
of the previous days had taxed the
witnesses strength too severely, but
he was quickly treasured by Nine.
SteinheiI, who said:
mo- am not at all fatigued"
Nine. Steinheil's composure gradually
gave away before the succession of
sharp interrogatories. Her feeling at
last found expression in an agonized
flood of words In which she appealed to
the jury to believe in her innocence,
complaining bitterly that in her hour
of misfortune she had been deserted by
high placed friends, asserting also that
society women who had frequented her
home had now deserted her.
Notwithstanding this passionate APP
peal Judge De yaVlles pursued his in
ltroratories reIentlessly.
When he had pinned her down
with proofs that she had concealed
jewels which she afterwards said had
been stolen, she turned her back on him
and with crossed arms and flashing
eyes admitted that she had done so,
justifying her action by the motherly
instinct of shielding her daughter from
the knowledge that these Jewels had
come from her lover.

DOWN STORY.

Washington, Nov. 5.--A rumor that
ex-President Theodore Roosevelt has
been killed on his hunting trip in
Africa was ahoat in Washington this
morning but a diligent search failed
to discover the slightest foundation for
it. Inquiries from many parts of the
country made it evident that the ru-
NOR is wide spread.
AT the Smithsonian institution not
the slightest word Of such a fatality
or even Of an accident had been re-
ceived.
The state department, which would
be most likely to be notified by it's
consular representatives in Africa had
received no such news.
