the action commenced yesterday, Ham
ilton had lease on the Gamblers mir,

fore the expiration of the lease, Cam
bers instituted the injunction suit and
temporary restraining order was is
sued and continued in force fer 16 days,
at loss to Hamilton of $416 a day in
net profits. AT the hearing of the ap-
pl1cation for permanent injunction,
the district court decided against Cam

supreme court and the latter granted
temporary injunction pending the
hearing, but required Gamblers to give
bond in the sum of $1,000, When the
case was finally heard and decided in
favor Of Hamilton his lease had ex-
pired. He figures his damages at a
great deal more than the amount sued
for, but he is limited in his demands to
the amount of the bond.

AN EXPERT ON ALCOHOL
DR.. Crothers Called ALI the Way
From Connecticut.
WITNESS FOR Mr.. HEINZE
The Celebrated Inebriety Specialist Ex-
plains at Length the Effects OF
Spirits on the Brain and
the Nervous System.

The Larkin insanity hearing took on
esting phases yesterday when counsel
for F. August Heinze, the intervenor,
whose testimony in rebuttal is now be-
ing taken, called an eminent expert in
dnebriety to the stand. The witness is
DR.. T. D. Crothers, who was brought
all the way from Hartford, Conn, to
testify in the case. DR.. Crothers is
superintendent of the Walnut Lodge
hospital for inebriates at Hartford, is
the editor of a scientific journal which
treats wholly on inebriety, is the au-
thor Of scientific work on the subject
and is one of the leading authorities
of this country on the effects of alco-
ahol on the human system. He was
called to give an exposition of the eff
fleets of alcohol on the brain and ner-
Nous tissues, principally, and its gen
eral effect upon the whole system, the
purpose of his testimony being to
rounteract that Of the insanity experts,
Drs. Eskridge and Hershing, called by
the plaintiffs, the Butte & Boston peo-
Rle, during the direct examination.
DR.. Crothers was called at the open
4ng of the morning session yesterday
kAll the attorneys in the case were pres
sent as well as a number of local med
acal men, who listened interestedly to
The learned gentlemans evidence,
(which began by his qualifying as an
hxpert. He proceeded in exhaustive de-
nail through the progress of alcohors
destruction of the vital forces. The
Examination was conducted by Attor-
Eney Frank E. Corbett for the inter-
Fvenors, and though sessions were held
Tin the morning, afternoon and evening.
The end of the direct examination of
Ethe witness had not been reached when
hhe adjournment was taken to to-day.
DR.. Crothers qualified as an expert
by saying that he had been "a years
on the study and practice of alcoholic
and opium diseases, first at Binghamp-
Fon, N. Y, in the first inebriate asy-
lum in the world, as assistant physi-
clan for four years, then as superin-
Jendent of a private hospital at Hart
ford, Conn, up to the present time.
More than 100 cases, he said, are treat
ed at this hospital in a year. He had
been editor of a scientific Journal, the
Journal of Inebriety, in which the sub
Ject of inebriety was treated from it's
scientific side. It's contributors includ-
ed some of the greatest experts of the
world and the subject Is treated from
the side of cold science exclusively
in reply to a question: from Attorney
Corbett as to what effect alcohol has
on the brain and nervous system, Dr.
Crothers said:

holic insanity or dementia?" was the
witness reply.
At this time an adjournment was
taken till evening.
The evening session was resumed
with Dr. Crothers on the stand. Mr..
Corbett propounded series of ques-
tions, the same as those put to previous
experts, with reference to Larkin's ac-
tions, his habits, eccentricities and pc
culiarities, and asked what, in the wit
ness opinion, these acts indicated.
The witness answered: Il would say
the man was of unsound mind. From
his actions. as understood them in the
question. | would assume that he was
suffering from the result of a long pe-
riod of drinking"
Mr.. Corbett read the question for
merry put regarding the story of Lar
kin and the fire.
Witness replied that Larkin was in
capable of recognizing the fact of the
fire or the consequence which must fol-
low. Such delusions are not uncommon
among subjects addicted to drink.
Regarding Larkin's habit of stand
ing alone in the streets and staring ap-
parently at nothing, witness expressed
the opinion that the man was of un-
sound mind. In connection with the
fact that he did it is confirmatory proof
of a badly deranged mind. AS to the
story of Larkin placing his shoes in the
water closet of a Main street saloon
and then telling the bartender that he
had soaked his shoes" DR.. Crothers
said that it was the act of a man of
unsound mind. The act in itself was
not enough, however. to indicate de-
mentia.
Mr.. Corbett read the list of hypothet-
ical questions previously answered by
former experts and asked the witness
Il,
the fact that Larkin in 1894 was COM
mitted TO Wells hospital and later to
the insane asylum, where he died in
1898, and express his opinion regarding
the mental condition and the witness
replied that these acts We're evidence
of delusionary insanity, irrespective of
previous actions or future determine
tions. All this would indicate delu-
sionary mind. The fact that Larki1
had been almost constantly drunk for
about IA years prior to the commission
of these acts, the witness stated, in
creased his conviction that Larkin was
insane. All of his symptoms We're char
acteristic of a gradual impairment of
the mind. His was a pronounced men
tai disease. Assuming the acts de-
scribed in the Hypothetical questions
to have been committed by Larkin, wit
ness concluded that in 1893 he might
have acted nationally in matters not
requiring especial care or the exer-
else of judgment, but outside of Gus
tomary lines he must of necessity have
been lacking in mental qualification.
He could not have acted intelligently in
matters in which was required the ex-
ercise of sound judgment. Witness did
not think that Larkin was capable of
transacting business matters with any
degree of intelligence in 1893 because
he was unable, considering the testi-
mony, to think consecutively or along
one defined line long enough to form
an intelligent conclusion.
Mr.. Harvey objected to many of the
questions. Objection was urged against
the answers to those questions, and he
moved to strike them out, stating It
length his reasons. Here the hearing
was adjourned till this morning, when
the witness will be ross-examined.

THE "GREEN RAY"
To he Seen Frequently Mt the Delta

To he Seen Frequently Mt the Delta
Of the Nile.
The "green ray" an optical phenom-
enon which has been made the founda-
ton of a story by Jules Verne is a
fash OF greenish light seen as the limb
of the sun rises or sets under certain
conditions of the atmosphere. The sea
horizon is good for observing it. but
the effect is occasionally seen in the Alps
or other mo ntains, and. according to
Plot Bey in paper to the Academic d.
Sciences. PARIS, it is often to be observ-
ed in Egypt from the point of the del
IA to Alexandria or Suez, either at rise
or set of sun.
The ray is distinctly visible. and al
ways of an emerald green, which II
brighter rs n rule at sunrise than sun
set. At sunset. when the eye can folio
the effect better. the ray sometimes APP
pears longer and ultimately takes blue
tinge. This blue ray has also been OBJ
served precee ing the "green ray at sun
rise, for example, by Mr.. William Gaff,
near the ruins of Memphis, not far from
the stepped pyramid of saggarah. He
even thinks the ancient Egyptians were
familiar with it. because in monuments
Of the fifth dynasty and others the sig
of "Kha." representing the rising Sill
has the outer streak of blne color an
the two inner streaks are green. Their
writings also speak Of the greenness of
the sun on rising. and they liken it to
an emerald.
1t is evident from all this that the
"green ray is an objective, not sub
iective, phenomenon, and that the hori-
zon of the sea has nothing to do with it.
Nevertheless, the state Of the atmos-
phere evidently has to do with it, and
that of Egypt ordinarily pure. seems to
have much. for the ray is seldom seen
| elsewhere on land.

Washington. March 1.-The war de-
partment court of inquiry held very
brief session. the last before their start
for the west. where they will inspect
the packing plants Of Chicago, Omaha
and Kansas City There was but one
witness examined-Lieutenant Freder-
lex L. Munson. Ninth infantry. He said
that during his service in Cuba up to
the surrender OF Santiago his command
had as a meat component Of the ration
bacon and canned roast beef In the pro-
portion of about 10 days Of the former
to Is days Of the latter. Until the sur
render he received no complaints of the
canned roast beef, but after the sur
render his commissary sergeant re-
ported to him that something was max
ing the men very sick. They did not
know what 1t was. but thought 1t was
something they had eaten.
After eliminating every other factor
that they could think of they concluded
it must be the canned beef. He ordered
the cooks to try fixing up the meat IN
stews with hard tack and tomatoes,
but it seemed to make no difference
The men continued sick. The men then
discontinued the use Of beef.
On the voyage home they still had
canned roast beef, but the men did not
eat it, He tried to turn it over to the
commissary at Montauk. but the COM
mssary would not receive it,
