DELAY IN THE SENATE Many Members Object to Way Leather Schedule Was Made Up. Washington, Aug. 3. Beginning Its consideration of the conference report on the tariff bill by a tedious reading of that document, which was Insisted upon by senators who proposed to see that undue haste Is not exercised In the final passage of the measure, the senate dragged along during nearly Beven hours without accomplishing any Important result. Numerous conferences were held among senators on both sides of the chamber for the purpose of advancing or hindering the final passage of the bill. The developments which have occurred in respect to the framing of the leather schedule In conference called forth much Interest. Senators spent much time in discussing the Ian guage and effect of that schedule. The debate on the conference report McGUEN Lasts But Ten Days, So "Be Wise, Buy Now" was opened by Senator Daniel, who claimed that the Democratic senators on the finance committee had been dealt with unfairly In not being per mitted to vote In committee on the adoption of the. report. He claimed that an agreement for that purpose entered Into by the chairman, Mr. Aid rich, had been violated. Any Intentional violation was disavowed by Mr. Aid rloh, who said he could not agree with Mr. Daniel as to what had occurred between them. Senator Brlstow denounced the tar iff bill a3 a violation of Republican principles and announced ' that he would not vote for it. In order to clearly fix the responsi bility to parties in the passage of the bill and the framing of its several schedules Senator Bacon presented an analysis of the 137 yea and nay votes that had been taken in its considera tion. The - list of votes the senate agreed to print In the Record. JOHNSON'S S1.C00 BILL Could Not Be Changed at Police Sta tion When He Had to Put Up $25.

Situation In Spain. Although the situation is less threat ening in Spain, the next few days should bring news of significant politi cal developments. . As was anticipat ed, the biggest news of the Spanish Moroccan war developed within Spain proper, where under cover of a pro test against the war malcontents seized the opportunity to kill and pillage. With the enforced submis sion of the revolutionists, American it.terest now will be chiefly concerned with the determination of whether the Republicans, Soelullsts, OarlisU, Anti Clericals or Anarchists organized the recent disorders.

Until June 25 of the Pres ent Year. White Plains, Aug. 3. How Harrj K. Thaw conducted himself at the Mat teawan asylum for the criminal In sane, a phase of his life not gone intc before, was described by Dr. Amos B Baker, first assistant physician of th institution, the only witness called In District Attorney Jerome at the contln nation of the hearing by which Thaw hopes to obtain his release. Asldi from his testimony, a two-foot Mack of canvas-bound books, labelled "Thi People vs. Harry K. Thaw" records of the murder trials furnished all the evidence introduced by Mr. Jerome. Mother's Testimony Used Against Him Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, as she sal in court, paw Mr. Jerome Introduce against her son testimony she had willingly g'ven heretofore to save hi' life. It was seized upon by the state to prove him Insane. It Included hei accounts of his nervous temperament as child, materially valuable to Thaw when he was In danger of the electric chair but now menacing to his hope of proving himself a sane man. One thing quoted by the district attorney was her statement concern ing Harry Thaw, "that his body was too puny for his head, and before and after the measles he had St. Vitus' dance." Dr. Baker's testimony was read by himself from his "case book" and de scribed Thaw's conduct, both normal and queer, on many occasions from Feb. 1, 190S, the date of his commit ment, until June 25 of the present year. While some of these notes describe, the patient's acts as "silly" and while the witness said that In his belief Thaw was Irrational now, Thaw's at torney made him admit that during the first three months of the patient's stay at Matteawan he observed no signs of paranoia. After that Thaw, by his counsel's advice, refused to let him self be examined or to answer ques tions asked by (he hospital physicians. When Thaw reached Matteawan on the day the Jury acquitted him of the murder of Stanford White on the ground of insanity, almost his first ..$2.00 $10.00 Half Price Half Price Half Price 35c Suits $4.00 One-Half Price Half Price ...Half Price Half Price 19c 19c COMPANY statements, according to Dr. Baker, were "expressions of amusement over the clever work of his lawyers and alienists." He said frankly that his acquittal was obtained by exaggerat ing certain Incidents, and putting in testimony Jerome was unabta to re fute because he had not the facts. "Silly and Pompous." The witness described Thaw's man ner at most tlme3 as "silly" and "pompous." He said he quarrelled with the other pallpnts who played cards with him, calling them "stupid donkeys." From his notebook he read of various incidents, including Thaw's refusal to accept mall addressed to him; his refusal to see his wife until told that Mr. Morschauser had sent her and his "insolent and domineer ing actions to the physicians and at tendants." I.aat fall the prison authorities searched Thaw's pockets when he was asleep and the next day he offered $r00 reward for the detection of any one tampering with his clothes. The fruits of this search appeared In court when Dr. Baker handed In a3 evidence about thirty newspaper clippings. They were not read, but Mr. Jerotnt explained that all were on sexual topics. Mr. Morschauser weakened the force of this exhibit by making the witness testify that In all he had found nearly 200 clippings In Thaw's pockets and that they were on various subjects He said he had brought the thirty to court because he thought they all had bearing on the case. Justice Mlllf told him to fetch the others. When -court adjourned for the day, Mr. Morschauser was trying to make Dr. Baker admit that a musical at the hospital not long ago was arranged for the purpose of letting Thaw make a fool of himself. Thaw refused to Rttend thy affair. Suicide by Drowning. Rochester. Aug. 3.

Orvllle Wright last week attained the zenith of hard-earned success. In a ten-mile cross-country flight In the aeroplane built by himself and his elder brother. Wllbi'r. and accompanied by Lieutenant Benjamin D. Foulols, an intrepid otlieer of the army signal corps, he not only surpassed the speed requirements of his contract with the I'nited States government but accom plished the most difficult and daring flight ever plnnned for a heavler-than-air flying machine. Incidentally, he broke all sliced recorda over a meas ured course. Wright's speed was more than 42 miles an hour. He made the ten-mile flight In I t minutes and 42 seconds, In cluding more than twenty seconds re quired for the turn beyond the line at Shuter Mil, the southern end of the course. He attained a height. In cross ing the valley of Four Mile run of r"arly 500 feet, and the average alti tude of his practically level course was about 200 feet. Like a giant bird the machine swept unswervingly straight to the south, passing over the diverse and heavily wooded country In the distance until It became a mere speck above the hor izon. Those who had glasses saw the aero plane turn, first to the left, then to the right, above Shuter hill. Suddenly the speck was lost to view, and as the seconds passed, a silence grew upon (he crowd, a silence that spoke of-df-ep concern. Wilbur Wright, standing with levelled glasses beside his sister, strained his gaze In effort to catch slgh( of the aeroplane when It should rise again above the sky line. Seconds seemed minutes, and as the Interval became seemingly alarm ing, his agitation was evident. Suddenly the speck came In sight again, over the distant hill. A rry swept over (lie watching crowd. "There It Is," everybody said and the sigh of relief was plainly audible. Onward the machine came, semii Ingly swerved from Its course by a westerly breeze. Soon the aerUI nv.'l gators were home again over the d' lll ground, (lying very low. Orvllle steer ed straight across the field, and at a height of about twenty feet, swung round again to the southward, and landed easily far down the field. The task was done, and In triumph. Cheer upon cheer welcomed the return. WOMAN SUPERINTENDENT Mrs. Ella Flagq Young Appointed Head of Chicago's School System.
