AVIATOR TRIES TO FLY TO LON

FAILS.
SECOND BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT
Machine Drops Into Sea Two Miles
from Dover, England.—Trial Fol
lows Preliminary Test that
Results in Damage to Plane.
A:-'.
London, July 29.—Hubert Latham,
the aviator, made another attempt to
cross the English channel and plung
ed Into the sea two miles off the
coast, near Dover, where a French
torpedo boat picked him up.
In Calais and Sangette it became
known that Latham, who was bitterly
disappointed at his failure to start
when Bleriot crossed successfully,
would make the attempt again.
Thousands of spectators crowded
the coast line to watch the attempt
and the French torpedo boats, at a
•word, steamed out and formed a long
chain across the channel.
It was known that, robbed of his
anticipated triumph of being the first
to cross, Latham would make a des
perate effort.
Exactly at 6 o'clock the start was
made.
Early in the day, with cheering
thousands gathered about, Latham in
his monoplane made an effort to start.
Bad luck attended and the machine
came crashing to the ground. A
wheel was broken and the propeller
smashed. It was announced that the
attempt would be postponed to 3
o'clock in the afternoon. At 3 o'clock
a high wind was blowing off shore and
it looked dangerous to start.
Shortly before 6 o'clock Latham an
nounced that he would make the ef
fort despite the conditions and with
his monoplane repaired he entered and
rose'quickly, passing out with rapid
flight over the sea.
From the French coast the machine
circled half way, then recovering its
course headed straight across. A shout
of triumph went up from the assem
bled multitude who saw victory ahead.
With rapid flight Latham passed out
at a height of between 400 and 450
feet until he blended with the sky
l\ive and was tost to view.
On the English coast lookouts re
ported a flying speck which soon grew
Into shape. It came onward with ev
erything indicative of success, al
though to the observers It seemed to
be dipping downward. Suddenly, when
in full sight and not more than two
miles off shore, it dipped and fell
splash Into the sea. Latham had dis
tanced the foremost of the torpedo
boats, which was about three miles
away, but it steamed up and took him
on board after he had floated for a
short time.
Nineteen miles of the twenty-one
that span the channel had been passed
and three minutes more of flight would
have landed him.
The attempt was more spectacular
than that of Bleriot and more daring.
Latham was Intensely disappointed
over his failure, but seemed to have
suffered no serious Injury from his
fall.
Hubert Latham ia a comparatively
recent aspirant for flying honors, but
several daring exploits already had
gained him much attention. He was
the first to attempt a flight of the
English channel, but his effort failed.
After waiting many days for favorable
•weather conditions, he set out from
Calais on July 19 last, headed for
Dover. He cleared the cliffs beautiful
ly and hiB flight appeared propitious
until midway in the channel, when his
motor failed him and his monoplane
settled gently on the unruffled waters.
He was picked up by a torpedo boat
that had followed him. He was un
injured, though the monoplane was
somewhat damaged In getting It
aboard.
Latham uses an Antoinete monoplane
designed by M. Levasseur, and which
consists principally of a central skiff
like body from either side of which a
main plane extends at slightly rising
angle.
Before his attempt to cross the chan
nel he had made several successful
flights at Mourmel-on-Legrand, France,
•where on June (1 he established a new
monoplane record by remaining in the
air one hour, 7 minutes and 47 sec
onds.

Hush
White PlainB, N. Y., July 29.—Harry
K. Thaw sat in the supreme court
here and heard a woman's testimony,
that made his pallid face flush. He
saw a pearl handled dog whip ex
hibited and he heard the witness
swear that she had seen him wield it
on the bare flesh of young girls. The
prisoner's wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
heard most of the testimony, which
was of such a nature that Justice Mills
preceded its presentation with the
warning that "no woman should stay
in the court room unless she is will
ing to hear everything." Two girls
left the room.
The witness was Miss Susan Merrill,
a buxom, pink-cheeked woman, of
about 35 years, and she opened a new
chapter in the life of Stanford White's
slayer. She told of alleged acts of his
between 1902 and 1905, when he was
a young bachelor about New York be
fore the tragedy on the Madison Square
roof garden which resulted in his be
ing placed In the state asylum, from
which he is now trying to escape.
Her testimony was in marked con
trast to that of two alienists who went
on the stand and gave Thaw a clean
bill of health, declaring that in their
opinion he was sane. Summarized her
testimony was that during the three
years named she kept in succession
two New York lodging houses, where
Thaw rented rooms under assumed
names and to which he brought at
various times more than 200 girls.
Handled Hush Money.
After Thaw's imprisonment, she
said, he paid these women at least
$26,000 as the price for their silence
and to "keep them from bothering
Thaw's wife or his mother." One of
them, who, she said, passed as Thaw's
wife, received $7,000. The money
came from Thaw.
GUARDS SHOOT FOR TROPHIES.

SLOW GRIND BEGINS OVER AGAIN
Dr. Evans, of "Brain Storm" Fame,
Says Defendant Is Sane. Like
wise Aged Dr. Scheddt, Who
Is Called by Defense.
White Plains, N. Y., July 28.—Thaw
alienists began their slow march on
the stage in the Thaw case. All ef
forts of Stanford White's slayer to
obtain his release from the Mattewan
asylum for criminal insane, are cul
minating in the testimony of the ex
perts, called to prove him sane, and
when they are through the prisoner
will take the stand himself.
In two respects the hearing is
a fresh reminder of the two homi
cide trials which Thaw underwent.
District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, at the request of the attorney
general's ollice appeared in court and
took entire charge ot the state's case.
Mr. Jerome and Thaw sat so close to
gether that their chairs touched, but
if the prisoner had any fear of the
man who prosecuted him, his face did
not show it.
All but one of the witnesses ex-
the New York district attorney chat
ted and smiled like old friends reunit
ed. The other familiar feature of the
hearing was Dr. Britton D. Evans, of
the New Jersey state insane asylum,
at Morris Plains, famous for his in
troduction at the trials of the term
"brain storm."
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw did not come
to White Plains. Mr. Jerome said that
she was still under subpoena and
might be called for cross-examination
after Thaw testified.
Dr. Britton D. Evans said that dur
ing a recent talk with Thaw in the
jail here the prisoner declared that
his wife's assertion on the stand the
week before last that Thaw had
threatened to kill her was false.
Thaw is expected to repeat this on
the stand and the state may call his
wife to the charge once more.
Never Felt Remorse.
Expert testimony began with the
first witness. Dr. Henry Ernst Scheddt
of White Plains. District Attorney
Jerome took charge of the case for
the state.
The witness read a condensed his
tory of Thaw's life, compiled from in
terviews with the prisoner. In this
various events which might have a
bearing upon his mental condition,
were explained to Thaw. In discus
sing the killing of White, Thaw told
the witness that it sometimes sur
prised himself that he felt no remorse.
Beltrami Hearing Postponed.
Bemidji, Minn., July 282.—The hear
ing of the charges against the Bel
trami county officials, which was to
have commenced here Tuesday before
M. E. Ryan, has been postponed until
Aug. 5. This was partly because of
the term of court at International
Falls, in which the Bemidji attorneys
interested in the hearing were em
ployed, and in part because of other
work of Mr. Ryan at Brainerd.

Embezzlement for Eleven Years
Going East to Die at End
of Five Year Term.
Des Moines, July 24.—Samuel Fran
cis Smith, once mayor of Davenport
and the son of the author of "Ameri
ca." convicted of perjury, larceny and
embezzlement, has been granted a
full pardon by the board of parole sub
ject to Gov. B. F. Carroll's approval.
Smith, aged 73 years, tottering and
feeble from his five years' confine
ment at Anamosa, will be allowed ta
go back to the old family home io
Newton Center, Mass., to live the de
dining years of his life with his wife
and crippled daughter.
Practically all the leading citizens
of Davenport pleaded for clemency
for the old man. Though Smith was
convicted of large defalcations, in
volving the hard earned money of
widows and orphans, sympathy for
the pioneer citizen and one time prom
inent lawyer gained the upper hand
in the minds of the people, many of
whom were the largest losers by his
crimes.
Smith was an early settler in Iowa.
Coming from an aristocratic New
England family he settled with his
wife in Davenport in the early days.
He was from the first a leader in the
activities of the city. He was honored

Commissioner E. G. WTyIle has ask
ed the railroad commission to modify
one of its rules which requires that
every package or article shipped by
freight in less than carload lots must
be clearly marked with the name and
address of the consignee. It is found
that where 200 or 300 brick or more
is shipped every brick would have to
be marked, which is deemed clearly
impractical.
Vouchers for Large Sum.
It requires the services of two men
to carry the vouchers filed in probate
court by the executors of the estate

The Mabray and Crabtree Cases.
Des Monies, July 22.—That Corpor
al Lisle Crabtree, charged with the
murder of Captain John C. Raymond
of the Second cavalry, and J. C. Ma
bray, accused of using the United
gtates mails to defraud, will both be
tried before Judge McPherson in Des
Moines at the next session of the
federal court is the opinion of many
of the local officers. And If so It will
make the September term of the fed
eral court by far the most Important
that has ever been held in this city
and probably In the state of Iowa
from a standpoint ot general interest
to the public.
Both cases have already been given
the widest publicity. They affect a
large number of people and both have
many features of the tragic which
has aroused a keen interest in every
one. Both men are anxious to be
tried in the federal court in Des
Moines—one because he fears his
enemies in Council Bluffs. The fed
eral officers are as anxious to try
Mabray in Des Moines as he is to
have his trial here because they be
lieve they stand better chances of
securing a conviction, while on the
other hand the prisoner feels that he
has a better chance for an acquittal.
So with both sides favoring a hearing
in this city it seems certain that it
will be held here.
Shippers Win in Freight Rate Fight.
Live stock shippers won their fight
before the state railroad commission
when the ruling was made that the
31-foot minimum rate rule will be en
forced until June 1, 1910, and it will
be changed if conditions then are the
same as at the present time. The
compromise was based on the theory
that railroads should not be required
to furnish 31-foot car^. when they have
none, but that the shippers should be
given sufficient notice before the
change is made.
Applications for higher rates on
candy, confectionery, hides and leath
er in rolls were denied, these decis
ions being victories for Freight Com
missioner E. G. Wylie and other rep
resentatives of the shipping interests.
The commission ruled in favor of
the creameries and an order was
made that joint express rates equal
to 80 per cent of the sum of the two
locals be placed in effect. A reserva
tion was made in favor of the express
companies, allowing them to charge
a reasonable amount for transfers.
No Mystery in Byers' Death.
Col. A. W. Swalm made a complete
investigation into the circumstances
surrounding the death of Lawrence
Marshall Byers in London and reach
ed the conclusion that everything pos
sible was done by the doctors' and
nurses at the London nursing home
where Professor Byers' death occur
red, but that it was impossible for
them to proong his life.
This Information was conveyed to
Maj. and Mrs. S. H. M. Byers in a
letter which they received from Col
onel Swalm, written at Southampton
July 13. Colonel Swalm was unable
to make the trip to America in charge
of the body, as he could not secure
leave of absence from his post a^
consul at Southampton in time to em
bark on the Majestic.
First Year Under Commlsion Plan.
Des Moines, Iowa.—It cost $998,
875.77—nearly a million dollars—to
run the city of Des Moines during the
year ending April 1, 1909. The share
of every man .woman and child In this
expense is approximately $10, for the
per capita rate on a population of
100,000 is exactly $9.5G, and Des
Moines does not have quite that many
people. Most cities in Des Moines'
class are from $2 to $5 higher in the
average cost for each citizen.
