THE EAST RECOGNIZES
 ND YELLOW PERIL
Japan's Duplieity Discussed at Con
 ference of Charities and Correction

Buffalo, June 10.-The east and west clashed on the question of the reality of the yellow peril" at to- days session of the immigrant sec tion of the annual conference of Charities and Correction. s. w. A. Gates, secretary of the board of char ities at San Francisco, declared that the yellow peril'' was more of a menace today than at any time in the past.
 Tt is also gravely doubted. de- clared Gates, ''if Japan is faithfully keeping the gentleman's agreement entered into with the United States regarding the restriction of immigra- tion of the coolie class. A similar agreement entered into with Great Britain to British Columbia has been deliberated violated. Japan recognizes no coolie class. Besides this, 500 Japanese and 5000 Chinese illegally entered the country over the borders of Mexico and Canada in the last year and half"
 Slave trade in Oriental women, Gates said, was worse today than ever.
 Cyrus Sulzberger, president of the United Hebrews Societies of New York, took issue with Gates.

THE STATE ENDS ITS CASE
It Is Now Up to the Attor- neys For the Defense to An nounce Whether It Intends to Prolong the Agony By Introducing Testimony.

San Francisco, June 10-The case | of the people against Calhoun, was completed today with a reservation permitting the introduction of testi- | mony for half an hour tomorrow if the prosecution decides that this slight margin of evidence is essential. In every other respect. as announced by Heney, the case of the state which was opened on April 15, is submitted and the attorneys for the defense will be called upon to decide whether or not the trial is to be prolonged by the offer of testimony in Calhoun's behalf. ! No representative of the defense could be induced to make any statement to- night relative to the course to be pur- sued. In any event 1t is regarded as more than probable that the argu- ments to the jury will be commenced by Monday at the latest.
 Today's session Of the court was de- voted largely to argument involving an order to produce certain books and vouchers of the United Railroads which Heney contended should show the disposition made of the fund of s200,000 received by Ford through the United States mint in 1906 and which is alleged 10 have been paid as a bribe to Abraham Ruef. Eugene F. Schmitz and members of the board of super visors that awarded the overhead trolley permit Heney was opposed by A A. Moore of the defense and at times the verbal battle waXed warm and irritating personalities were in- cluded in the statements of the speak CTS. At the end of the debate. Judge Lawlor made an order requiring the United Railroads to produce all the records of payments to Ford during the period fully covering the alleged payments to the supervisors.
 Heney then adopted a new tack by recalling Adam Dahler. cashier of the corporation and Joe F, Starr, its treas urer. The prosecutor then went into every detail of the system of the ac- counts employed by the United Rail- roads and finally succeeded in obtain ing the admission that no book. voucher or bank account now in the possession of the witnesses would show the names of persons to whom money was paid through the legal de- partment controlled by Ford and Ab- bolt
 Heney when asked by the court to explain his purpose. said: Tt is our intention to prove by negative testi- mony that the s2OO.OOO received by Ford at the mint. which was never de- posted within the rech of the treas urer or cashier, was never expended for a legitimate purpose.

FLIES 73 MINUTES
 WITH 4 PASSENGER,
OrVIlle Wright Meets All of the Governments Requirements.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Orville Wright tackled q world record to his long string of aerial performances when he came to earth at Fort Myer, Va, in his aeroplane after flying with Lieutenant Frank P. Lahm of the signal dSrps as a passenger for one hour. twelve min utes and forty seconds. The best previous record was made by Wilbur Wright last year at Le Mans, France, when he carr~'d passenger for one hour, nine minutes and thirty-one sec onds.
 In addition to establishing a new mark Orville more than met the first of the governments requirements, that he remain aloft for one hour with an- other besides himself in the machine.
 Orville later established another world record when he drove his aero plane, with Lieutenant Benjamin D. Foulois as passenger over the rough est country that any heavier than air machine has yet esshyed. The course was five miles to Shutters hill, on the outskirts of Alexandria, Va, and re turn to Fort Myer
 The trip was made in approximately fourteen minutes and forty seconds from the time the machine crossed the starting mark at the army post. It re crossed it on the return trip.
 It is figured that the aeroplane made an average speed of close to forty-two miles an hour. The Wrights exceeded the average speed figure set by the war department and are entitled to a bonus over the $25,OO0 that the gov ernment will now pay for the flier.

SORRY HE KILLED
 WHITE, SAYS THAW.
'ArchItect's Slayer Claims Per-
 sOnal Privilege at Trial

White Plains, N. T., Aug. 4.-Harry K. Thaw was a witness in his own be- half in the hearing here to determine the present mental condition of the slayer of Stanford White, the archi- tect. b
 Mir Jerome pressed the witness closely regarding the murder on the roof garden. Thaw finally declared in answer to the questions that he was sorry that he had killed White.
 Then MT. Jerome put questions to him that upset his equanimity. One concerned a letter which was describ- ed by MT. Jerome as containing lewd drawings which Thaw had sent to his wife MT. Jerome asked him if he would waive the domestic privilege and have the letter go in evidence. Thaw refused.
 Again Thaw took refuge behind priv ilege when Jerome asked him if it was true that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had said to her husband that she 'could procure a divorce from him be- cause of the treatment to which he subjected young women In Mrs. Mer- rill's house.
 The witness admitted that after Eve lyn Nesbit had told him her story about White he had nursed hatred against White for two asears, possibly because of the fact of the other girls who had been wrOnged by White.
 Dr. Amos B. Baker, first assistant physician at Matteawan, asked by Je- rome to describe Thaw's condition, said he thought the prisoner is insane and called him silly, pompous, insolent, domineering and quarrelsome. The doctors observations were made from Feb. 1, 1908, to June 25, 1909.
 Drs. Austin Flint and William Hirsch, we'll known alienists, testified that Thaw was insane and beyond hope of recovery. They were very positive in their statement5 Flint styl- ing his insanity true paronia and Hirsch calling him degenerate para noiac." Both said that in their opin- ion he was absolutely incurable.
