Washington, July 81. = Orville

signal corps, he not only surpassed
the speed requirements OF his con.
tract with the United States govern
ment. but accomplished the most diff
ficult and daring flight ever planned
for heavier-than-air flying machine.
incidentally he broke all speed rec
ords over measured course and es-
tablished beyond dispute the practl-
cability of the aeroplane In time OF
peace and In time Of war.
Wright's speed was more than AZ
miles an hour. He made the ten-mile
flight in Ia minutes and AZ seconds,
including the more than 20 seconds
required for the turn beyond the line
at Shutter hill, the southern end Of
the course. lie attained height In
crossing the valley of Four Mile run
OF nearly 500 feet, and the average
altitude OF his practically level course
was about 200 feet.
President Taft, who has become an
enthusiastic spectator Of the aero.
plane trials, although two years ago,
when secretary of war he is said to
have expressed to army officers pro-
found skepticism as to the accom-.
plishment of such a feat as that OF
which he witnessed the completion,
arrived upon the parade ground at
Fort Myer Just In time to see the
aeroplane land and to participate In
the wild demonstration which wei
coined the triumphant aviators. He
sent Colonel Treat, commanding Off
Ger Of the artillery at Fort Myer, to
bear his congratulations to the vic.

About lncoherent Notes Made For

Progress Of Case-Makes Prompt
Reply but Leaves stand In Tremor.
White Plains, N. Y, July 31.--Jus-
tite Isaac Mills, who is to decide the
fate Of Harry X Thaw, took Thaw
into his own hands and after 10 min.
utes of questioning by the keen-eyed
jurist Thaw left the stand, shaking
and nervous. He was confident, how
ever, that he had fayorably impress.
ed Justice Mills.
This. the most severe Of Thaw's or
deals. came after two hours OF ter
rife examination at the hands of Je.
rome.
When Jerome announced that he
was through with Thaw, Justice Mills
turned TO the prisoner and said he
wanted to ask him some questions.
The justice picked out three vital
points in the case: The alleged delu.
sion concerning White; the apparent.
ly incoherent notes made by Thaw
for his counsel during the first and
second trials, ana the exaggerated
ego" which Justice Mills said Thaw
exhibited In his conduct during the
trial OF the case.
do you hold the same belief as to
the practices OF White that you held
when you were examined by DR.. Ev-
ans, who said you had paranoia?"
asked Justice Mills. Not exactly"
''In substance?" II found was
mistaken in some things and ] dis
covered additional things"
well, do you still believe thai
White did assault young girls in tina;
room?" "Yes, sir"
DO you think you had ample evi
dence?" ayes, sir"
Then Thaw said he had nothing but
the word of the women who claimed
to have been ruined and the WORD or
Anthony Comstock. He finally admit.
ted that Comstock had only the evi.
dence of the women and therefore
had been unabl eto prosecute White.
"Do you think the statement OF
abandoned women as to the cause OF
their downfall is 10 be trusted?"
Certainly not" answered Thaw.
How long prior TO the killing OF
Stanford White had you held that be-
lief?" "Since 1903"
Next ! want TO find out about
those notes to Delmas. They appar.
emily indicate that you thought the
killing OF White praiseworthy and
likened yourself to David, who had
slain Goliath"
Thaw explained that he was taking
every advantage of every possible de.
fense that was offered him.
mo one finds any fault with that, I"
said Justice Mills. "You were quite
right"

partially destroyed. Communication
with this part of the republic OF Mex.
leo has been imperfectly established.
The first shock was very severe,
causing the bells of the many cathe-
drals of the city to toll, breaking
crockery and in some instances level
ing walls. The inhabitants of the
city had hardly recovered from the
fright roccasioned by the phenomena
when second and more severe
shock caused an outpouring OF nearly
all of the inhabitants to the streets
and open pazas. This movement
was OF a tripodory and oscillatory ma.
ture and lasted with marked severity
for one minute and 30 seconds. The
tall buildings of the city swayed and
in some instances cracked, the pave
ment opened in places, and In the
poorer sections of the city number
of houses collapsed.
So far as can be learned from po.
lice records. six persons lost their
lives in Mexico City and its environs
as a result OF this second shock. Two
were men Of the lower class, the 9TH
ers being three women and a child.
Four persons are now in hospitals, so
badly wounded that II is stated they
can not recover.
