planned that his disagreement with the
firm of Black, Gruber e Olcott was
due to their determination to try to
acquit him on the ground of insanity,
when he was not insane.
You must remember" he remarked,
"that these lawyers were influenced in
dition because they Were told tina. the
charges l made against White were un-
true
Were they true?" demanded Je-
rome.
"They were,' replied Thaw firmly.
Jerome reverted to the testimony
given yesterday by Mrs. Susan Merrill.
Thaw declared that when he first
learned~that she was to go on the stand,
he was exceedingly angry.
Il was told" he continued. that AS
sistant District Attorney Garvan got
her in your office. spat in her face. and
got her to tell lot of lies about me.
But of course 1 don't say this is true.
Thaw was in the midst of his testi-
mony, and apparently unruffled by the
ordeal, when court took the noon re-
cess.
Woman Says Thaw Beat Girls.
Harry K. Thaw sat in the supreme
court here late yesterday and heard a
woman's testimony that made his palld
face flush. He saw a. pearl-handled
dog whip exhibited, and he heard the
witness swear she had seen him WELD
it on the bare flesh of young girls The
prisoners wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
heard most of the testimony. which
of 49,. tl,t
preceded its presentation with the
statement that mo woman should stay
in the court room, unless she Is will
ing to hear everything" Two girls left
the room.
The witness Was Mrs. Susan Mer-
rill. She told of the alleged acts of
Harry Thaw between 1902 and 1905,
before the killing of White.
Her testimony was in marked con-
trast to that of the two alienists who
went on the stand and gave Thaw a
clean bill of health, declaring that in
their opinion he was sane. Summar-
lied, her testimony was that during the
three years named, she kept in success
sion in New York two lodging houses,
where Thaw rented rooms under as
sumed names, and to which he brought
at various times, more than 200 girls.
After Thaw's imprisonment she said
he paid the women at least $4,000 as
the price of their silence. and to keep
them from bothering Thaw's wife or
his mother" One of them. who, she
said passed as Thaws wife, received
$1,000. The money came from Thaw.
After telling of Thaw's engaging
the rooms. the bearing of the evil
dence upon the question of the pris-
oner's mental condition became ap-
parent. For at this point, the myster-
ious package which was brought to
the court yesterday was unwrapped
and a pearl handled whip, about three
feet long, was brought into view.
With this before the eyes of the
court and the spectators, the woman
related a series of stories about find
ing Thaw on several occasions, lash
ing the girls upon their bare arms
and bodies. Thaw, she said, had posed
as a theatrlcSl agent, and had lured
the girls to his sSoms with promises
of engagements.
When she demonstrated with him
she testified, his excuse was that the
girls weren't smart enough ane
could not fill their position. and de.
served a beating"
frequently behaved in violent manner
in her presence, and that she con-
sidered his acts irrational.

Washington, July 2S.-The worlds
record for two men as to both the
time and distance was broken last ev-

twelve minutes and forty seconds-up-
wards Of fifty miles and at a speed av-
eraging about forty miles an hour, by
Orvllle Wright at Fort Myer with
Lieut.. Frank P. Lahm of the army sig

record was made last year by his
brother, Wilbur, joint inventor with
him Of the machine in which both
achievements were performed, at LIE

of the French institute as passenger
That flight was one hour, nine minutes

record without really damaging it
Orville after the flight.
That's all we meant to do," replied
Orville with smile which his big
brother appreciatively duplicated.
The shouting which heralded the put
ting of new mark in the crown of
the conquerers of the air was led by
President Taft, who insisted at the
flights conclusion upon personally con-
graduating the brothers upon their
success. This success was all-import-
ant to the Wrights in that it completed
the first Of two crucial tests of their
machine imposed upon them by the
United States government-the So
called endurance test" which re-
quired them to remain one hour con-
tinuously in the air with one passenger
Orville did easily more than that and
could have kept on for three or until
the gasoline gave out.

asserted that the Aldrich changes from

the support of Chairman Payne, who is
regarded as voicing the sentiments of
the president on matters In general SO
we must await something in the ma
ture of an official explanation to the
country and see whether the country
will be satisfied.
There has at no time been any
chance to do anything In the reduction
line as to woolens-that is. not since
matters reached the conference stage.
President Taft would have liked to see
lower woolen duties but there was
practically no difference as 10 them be-
tween the house and senate bills.
There was nothing for the conference
to work on; of course something could
have been done as was done by leather
products, but the leather situation was
different as all who have followed the
course of events will appreciate with
out any further explanation.

voted agaist the passage OF the Aldrich
bill continue their campaign along the

states who have been doing so much
