DR.. Scudder Acts Funny. but Is
Judged to Be Sane.
CHICAGO, March 4.-The case Of DR..
II. NJ. Scudder, who is accused of the
murder Of his mother-in-law, Mrs. F. Fl.
Dunton, and who is confined at the De-
tenton hospital, pending an inquiry
into his sanity, was called in the insane
court this morning, but on application
by his attorney the hearing was post
poned one week, IN order that an OPP
portunty might be had to have him eX
amined by experts on the subject. Mr..
Dunton, by his attorneys, today pre-
scented will of his late wife III court,
and was granted letters testamentary
under it. 1t leaves all of her prop
erty, valued at $4,000, to her hus-
band, three sisters and two grandsons.
The will which leaves some of the
property to Mrs. Dunton's adopted
daughter, who is Dr. Scudder's wife,
was mentioned by the court, and the at
torney for Mr.. Dunton stated that he
would avail himself of the privilege of
not presenting it for thirty days. The
attorneys claim that it is forgery. By
the EMPLOYMENT of ruSe reporter
managed to secure admission to DR..
Scudders cell in the Detention hospital
today. His ineXpert impression as the
result of the interview was that of "a
man painfully sane and endeavoTing to
convey the impression of insanity"
When asked what he had to say to the
charge preferred against him, he de-
Clared that there was no charge. He
was then asked if he pretended
not to know that the charge
was that of numbering Mrs. Dunton.
"Murder," he screamed. ''lt's damna-
Bile lie. knew nothing about 1t. Oh,
yes. believe they did say something
about murder, but was too sick to pay
any attention to it. Such an idea is
nonsense, utter nonsense, | say. 1t is
preposterous. 1t is the result of hell
fsh plot. Dou you think would kill an
old woman who had only few months
TO live at best? Rot and nonsense"
Then the doctor took on wild look.
and accused the reporter of being the
fend who had leered at him through
the bars of his cell all night. AS soon
as the reporter had left the cell, how
ever, the prisoner became perfectly
sane to all outward appearances. The
attendant who accompanied the re-
porter, a man of experience in such
cases. gave it as his positive belief that
the man was sane.
DR.. Henry NJ. Lyman, an authority
on insanity, had an hours interview
with DR.. Scudd1r today. He declines
to speak for publication about the case,
but Scudder's attorney says DR.. Lyman
is convinced of DR.. Scudder's insanity.

sALIsBURY's SUBSTITUTE.
Last Years Modus Vivendi Not to
Be Renewed.

Be Renewed.
WASHINGTON. March 4.-The fact was
developed today that the authorities had
received notice that Lord Salisbury was
unwilling, while the arbitration pro-
ceedings in the Bebring sea dispute are
pending, to renew the modus vivendi of
last year. He is said to be willing,
however. to take the necessary steps for
putting a stop, during the approaching
season, to miscellaneous deep sea seal
fishing within thirty miles of the Prlby-
loft islands. 1t was impossible to learn
at the state department the precise nat
ure of the substitute proposed by Lord
Salisbury. 1t is probable that this in
formation received from London caused
President Harrison to shorten his stay
at Virginia Beach. and that he will re-
turn to Washington Saturday, instead
of Monday, of he had contemplated. 1t
is therefore lidely that the treaty of ar
bitration will be submitted to the senate
early next week. possibly Monday.
The course of the negotiations is being
closely watched by the members of the
committee of the senate and house hay-
ing to do with foreign relations. The
members of the congressional commit
tee do not disguise their belief i'll pri-
vate that unless the British government
shows disposition to join in the work
of protecting the waters of Behring
sea from the poachers during the prog
ress of the arbitration the United States
government must undertake the task
and execute the law which has not been
repealed, requiring it to protect the seal
fisheries. If this course is followed the
situation will assume phase very
similar to that preceding the readoption
of the modus vivendi last year, and the
government will resume the policy of
seizure of offending vessels. which may
lead to energetic protests and perhaps
retaliatory action by Great Britain.
The Joint commission on the Behring
sea fisheries held its final session at the
state department this afternoon. After
signing joint report, embodying a
statement of facts as to all points con-
nected with the sealing industry on
which there is no dispute, the commits
sion adjourned sine die.
