the charge Of bribery, was resumed
before Judge William P. Lawlor today.
Judge Wilcutt, secretary of the COM
pany. the last witness, examined on
Friday. was recalled, and his inter-
rogation by tho prosecution occupied
the greater part of the morning scs~
sion.
BY refreshing his memory with the
minute books of the directors of tho
company, the witness was able TO re-
count the matters coming before the
board between Dec. 80. 1905, the date
of Mr. Calhoun's election to dhe presi-
dency. to August "a. 1906 He stated
that during this time, the only reso-

equipment and of rolling stock

drew out statements that Mr.. Wilcutt
had known nothing of the 100000 dc
posit to Mr.. Calhoun's credit in the
mint or of any action by the board of
directors looking to the liberalization
of the cable lines during the period
in question.
Over the objection of the defense,
a letter, written 10 Mr.. Wilcutt by Mr..
Calhoun. in September. 1906, was
placed in evidence. II contained in
structions to tho controller, Mr. VII
cutt,, to credit the United Railroads
company to bear six per cent interest

was entered in the ledger, but he
stated that the book was sent east
last year when the books were audited.
The witness said that he did not know
whether he asked how this money
had been -disbursed.
Mr. Heney took up Mr.. Wilcutt and
went into the bookkeeping methods
of the controllers office. The appear
ance of Wilcutt before the grand jury
in 1907 was not inquired into, the Wit
ness stating that he had refused to be
sworn. and was asked no questions.
did you base your refusal on the
ground that your testimony might
tend to incrminatc yourself or de-
base or degrade you?S
The witness did not answer yes or
TO, but said that he had stood on his
constitutional rights. This precipitated
a wrnngle as TO the scene of these
rights 1t was brought out that the
witness acted on advice of counsel.
The croSS-eXamination of Mr.. Will
cutt was taken up just before the noon

Dayton. they said they intended to

tensions with Wilbur Wright abroad,
The greeting to the Wright brothers
at the pier In Hoboken was cordial
Orville Wright said that, although the
injuries he sustained IN his accident
at Fort Myer were still bothering him,
he expected to manipulate the Wright
aeroplane in the Fort Myer tests. The
time limit for the tests there was
June 2S, and the aeroplane would be
of the same type as the regulation
Wright machine used abroad, ne said,
AS to the future OF the aeroplane, Mr..
Wright said:
"We have carried two passengers on
some OF our trips, and the machine
could be easily developed to sustain
the weight OF several more persons.
But do not believe the aeroplane will
ever be regular passenger carrier,
as an ocean liner, or a railroad train.
Its province will be more in the ma
ture of a special conveyance for the
transportation of few people.
AS to the efficiency OF the aeroplane
in war, Mr.. Wright declared military
experts had told him that the machine
and It's operators would be safe from
injury by bullets at the height OF 1000
feet AS the aeroplane could easily as
cent much higher. he considered that
this fact settled the question OF It's
practicability in military operations.

Constantinople, May ia differ

Schefket Pasha, commander of the
Constitutionalist army that entered

Schefket Pasha is of the opinion
that the cash found in the imperial
palace OF Yildiz after the expulsion OF
Abdul Hamid, should be used 20 pay
the expenses OF his army. while the
ministers want the money turned In
to the national treasury. The funds
in question now amount to almost sS.-

sha has one advantage In the con-
troversy. inasmuch Us the money Is
in the possession Of the military, and
