WOMAN AVIATOR =.
FALLS TO DEATH
Julia Clarke Killed at Illinois
State Fair Grounds.
BIPLANE STRIKES A TREE
Machine Is Dathed to Ground and
Skull of Victim Crushed-t.as
PremonitIon of Her
Fate

Springfield, ILL.,, June 1S.-Miss Julia
Clarke of Denver, Colo, twenty-eight
years old, and one of the three flying
licensed female aviation pilots, was
killed at the Illinois state fair grounds
last evening when the tip of one of
the wings of Curtiss biplane in
which she was making a fight struck
the limb of tree and the machine was
dashed to the ground, crushing her
skull.
Grimly suspicious Of the machine
which was alleged to have had an I'M
lucky record, Miss Clarke left a note
requesting that If she were killed that
her body be taken to Denver for Gre
nation the Riverside crematory and
that SHE be buried in Denver in a
black dress
Flight Was In Practice.
The flight was In practice prelimin-
airy to an exhibition to be given here
on next Friday and Saturday. William
Pickens of Chicago, one of the Cur.
tiss-Wright exhibition promoters and
managers, has been here with Lansing
Callan, French aviator, and a num-
Der of mechanicians, preparing for the
exhibition.
Because some question had been
raised as to the safety Of the machine
which was finally wrecked, Lansing
Callan made the first fight in it, cir
cling about for five minutes. He de.
scended and pronounced the machine
in good condition.
Smiles as She Makes Start,
Miss Clarke, who was in waiting,
smilingly took charge Of the machine
for her flight, made a beautiful start
and circled around the fair grounds
for several minutes. AS she made
very low sweep the few who were
witnessing the trial thought she was
about to make landing, but instead
she flew close to the race track grand
stand and attempted to skim by a
row Of tall trees She did not clear
the trees properly. The machine
struck far-reachipg bough and the
airship turned turtle, falling with a
crash while making a speed of 40
miles an hour.

DARROW TRIAL IS IN
DANGER or COLLAPSE
Prosecutor Fredericks May Drop caso,
Because Of Ruling Made by
Judge Hutton.

Los Angeles. Cal, June 1.-THE
Darrow bribery trial Is In danger OF
collapse. District Attorney Freder-
icks, In statement to the court on
Friday, intimates that II Judge Hutton
2dheres to ruling that he made per-
hitting the defense to interrupt the
states program by placing o. A.
Tveitmoe and Antoine Johannsen, the
labor leaders. on the witness stand to
testify that Clarence s. Darrow was in
no way connected with the spiriting
a"-ay Of Mrs. Flora Captain, he may re-
fuse to proceed further In the case.
This peculiar tangle in the trial
grows out Of the earlier employment
of Earl Rogers. Darrows chief coun-
SELF by the Merchants and Manufac-
turers association to investigate the
destruction of the Los Angeles Times
building, and to attempt to capture
the dynamiters
Rogers. In a statement Immediately
declared his position In this case had
become intolerable as the result OF
the courts recent ruling, which de-
CidItu lHdt PFlu6nCe OF COildtoTdI
crimes n the Mcnamara defense were
admissible. He stated he had not ex-
pected such evidence to be admitted
when he undertook the barrow de-
tense.
Now particularly In the Mrs. Cap
Ian matter. he found himself In pos
session of information which his client
ought to know, but which he would
not disclose to him. 1t was too late
for him to withdraw and let another
attorney be substituted. He asked that
the court take some stand In the mat
ter which would relieve him of this
intolerable position. The specific
thing that he asked was that. in or
der that his client might come in pos
session of these facts. the defense
should be permitted at this time to
put Johannsen and Tveitmoe. the Ia
Dor leaders. on the stand to testify
as to whether barrow had any con-
nection with the abduction from the
state of Mrs Captain.
District Attorney Fredericks and AS
sistant District Attorney Ford argued
vehemently against this proposal

JEROME WEAKENS
| Il. K. THAWS CASE
Brings Out unfavorabIe Points as
to His Sanity.
EXPERT ALIENISTS ON STANG
Number Of Witnesses Testify That
They Believe Slayer Of Stanford
White Is Sane and
Rational

New York, June 1S.-Harry X.
Thaw's prospects of being released
from Matteawan on the ground that he
is now sane, looks very dubious after
the first days session of his latest
fight for freedom, which began before
Justice Keogh at White Plains.
William Travers Jerome, who twice
prosecuted Stanford Whites slayer for
the crime itself and twice later pre-.
vented his being set at liberty, was
again the master of the situation.
Aiienists Say Thaw Is Sane.
The former district attorney got one
Of the expert alienists, DR.. William A.
White, head of the government asylum
For the insane at Washington, to swear
that in his belief that Thaw not only
Is sane now, but never was insane
Then Jerome confronted Doctor White
with sworn statement he made at
the first trial to the effect that Thaw
was absolutely insane when he shot
White
Another alienist, DR.. Royal A. Leak
Of the Matteawan asylum, was obliged
to admit that Thaw has constitutions
al inferiority" from which there is no
recovery, and that constitutional In
ferios' are one In ten paranoiacs and
that they are apt to commit homicide
while influenced by alcoholic or other
excitement These admissions seemed
TO more than counterbalance Doctor
Leaks assertion that Thaw is, despite
his weakness, sane.
Charge Witness Is Hidden.
There were other unfavorable points
brought out by Jerome. There was a
charge by him that the Thaw inter.
ests are hiding Susan Merrill. an i'm.
portant state witness. But In spite OF
the turn Of things Thaw remained as
cheerful and hopeful as ever. He is
relying on winning his own battle
when he takes the stand, although
twice previously Jerome has been tho
victor in their duels. He is going 10
let his attorney, Clarence ]. Shearn,
conduct his case and will not inter
fere as he has always done before.
Former Gov w. A. Stone Of Penn.
sylvania. who represents the Thaw
family in civil affairs, testified that he
had interviews with Harry on bust
ness matters and found him perfectly
rational and competent.
Harry Aids Wooster University.
President l.. e. Holder of Wooster
university in Ohio, said he was an old
friend of the Thaw family; that Harry
had given him 81 900 when his college
building was burned and that recently
he had visited the young man six
times and thought him perfectly ra
tional.
DR.. II. Ernest Schmidt. practicing
physician in White Plains for 80 years
and recognized as an expert for
Bloomingdale, also considered Thaw
perfectly sane.
