CLEVELAND'S NAME WRONG FULLY USED. Signature t -The Times'' Letter De clared a Forgery-Mrs. Cleveland On Stand. New York. Juie 15.-Mrs. Frances Folsom Cleveland appeared in pub lie today for the first time since her husband's death to testify for the prosecution in the ease of Broughton Brandenburg, a magazine writer, who is charged with selling the New York Times a political article purporting to have been written by Formei- Presi dent Grover Cleveland. Mrs. Cleveland was dressed in deep mourning, but was self-possessed. though pale while o' the sti i ni.. She dielared ercpp,cically that the signature to the article in question was not that of her husband. Also, she pointed out the difference between the signature and the genuine Cleveland signature as it appeared on several charts which were handed to her. The former president wrote with a very unsteady hand during the latter part of his life, the witness said, whereas the name signed to the Bran denburg article was written in a comparatively bold hand, more like! that of Mr. Cleveland during his younger days in the White House. When Mrs. Cleveland entered the i court room. Justice Fitzgerald, As sistant District Attorney Nott and the other court officials rose and bow ed low as a mark of respect. A large crowd gathered to hear the testimony of the former "first lady of the' land." Mrs. Cleveland told about meeting John G. Carlisle and Thos. Hastings, an executer of her husband 's estate, in this city and discussing the article I which appeared in the New York Times August 30, 1908, over Mr.' Cleveland's signature. "Did you hear Mr. Hastings say that the signature was genuine,'' ask ed Samuel Bell Thomas for the de fendant. Not Declared Genuine. "No".' answered Mrs. Cleveland, "I did not hear him say one way or the other at the time." "Did you authorize him to say it was genuine'" asked the lawyer.' "No, I did not," said the witness emphatically. "Did you send a telegram to the New York Times in regard to this article ?'' asked' .Mr. Thomas. The witness said she did and. she' produced the telegram. Mrs. Cleveland said she authorized Mr. Hastings to write The Times and say that they questioned the authen ticity of the signature to the article. Mrs. Cleveland said she had received one letter and only one from Mr Bran-: denburg, in regard .to the article, early in August. 1908. She could not~ remember ever talking with the de fendant over the telephone in regard, to the matter. "Did you read theI statement. it-: self when it appeared in The Times ~ asked Mr. Thomas. "Oh, yes, I read it very carefully," Mrs. Cleveland replied. Mr. Nott related the incidents lead ing up to the publication of the letter. He said that the State would show' .that Brandenburg wa.ited until Mr. Cleveland died before he attempted to1 sell the article purporting to have been signed by Mr. Cleveland. On redirect examination. Mr. Nott asked the witness if she had authoriz ed Mr. Hastings to wri.te the New York Times and say that the signa For "Fly" Time YOU'LL FIND OUR $1.00 Negligee Shirt?

Lincoln, Sundar editor of the New York Times, testified that he hAd received the "Grover Cleveland' ar tiele from Brandenburg about a week before it was published, August 30. 1908. Brandenburg had seen him and talked with him about the article a: few days before that. Brandenburg, the witness -;d, told him it was one >f three Mr. Cleveland had promised to write early in the year bearing up n the campaign, but that sickness iad prevented Mr. Cleveland from vriting more than the one article.

Mass., June 15.-Pro fessor David Todd of Amherst and Leo Stevens, the New York aeronaut, who hope to establish communicati,)n with Mars by rnens of wireless s;. nals from a balloon, have made pre parations for a trial trip in their aerial craft tomorrow. According to their plans, the great trip will be from some point in Ohio, which is believed to be the State near est to Mars, and will take place in September when the neighboring pla net will be in much closer proximity to the earth than now. During August Professor Todd and Mr. Stevens will take regular exercise at breathing tank oxvgen in an air tight compartment to acclimate them to life in the air tight aluminum com partment in which they will be pen ned for the greater part of -their flight to signal Mars. "One of the things we have set tied is the question of ballast which has been troubling us." said Mr. Stevens. "It will be impossible for us to .handle sand or anything of that sort. We have concluded, therefore, to carry water as ballast, which will be released by stop-cocks in alumnium boxes. " The balloon will have a lifting power -of two and one-half tons, and throwing over of a quarter of a pound of ballast will send the balloon up 1,000 feet.'' Mr. Stevens and the professor have placed orders in France for a special barograph and other instruments for their flight. Ten miles of a specially made wire will be p)aid out, so that the two men can keep in toue.h with the earth. This will weigh about 200 pounds. "We do not expect to be obliged to resort to our aluminum tanks.'' said Mr. Stevens. ''until wve have attained a height of five miles or more. The hihest altitude I have ever .reached is four and three-quarter miles. Frenchmen went up eight and a quar ter miles about a year ago. and one of them was frozen to death and an other paralyzed.
