INSANITY PLEA FOR PASQUAlE
Witnesses Testify Stayed of Charles
Gray Is an EpIeptic.

TACOMA, Wash. Sept. 1O.-By nu-
merous witnesses the defense in the
Pasquale murder trial proved thS:
Pasquale has been a victim Of epilepsy
for a number of years. Among these
witnesses were DR.. John a. Hamilton,
Dr. Sargenitch and DR.. Warren Brown.
all of whom had treated Pasquale for
epileptic fits. Italian labOrers who had
seen Pasquale in fits. and William
Lane, a janitor at the Jail. who saw
him in commissions were examined.
Miss Wardendyke, a nurse at local
hospital where Pasquale underwent
treatment testified that on one occa-
sion he threatened to kill every person
in the ward. and became so unruly
that he was finally elected from the
hospital. The defense admit that Pas
quale killed Gray. but will make a
strong plea of insanity on the epileptic
testimony they have brought forward.

NEW YORK. Sept. 10.-That the
race question as a disturbing factor
of social conditions is not confined
TO the south, was shown the other day
by an occurrence, which plainly indi-
Gates the feeling existing on the sub
iect among the masses. 1t happened
on board of one of the JOY line steam

New York. Among the passengers on
that boat was we'll dressed negro.
who struck up an acquaintance with
white woman on the boat. They seemed
to get along together famOuSly. when
the trouble came When mealtime
came the white woman and the col
ored man went together to the dining
salon and sat down at one of the ia
bles. The captain, who objected to
the presence of the negro at the table
where the white passengers were
served gave a hint to the steward and
the latter informed the negro that
he would not be served at that table.
The negro insisted and, it is said, used
language more forcible than elegant.
The negro left, but soon returned with
a Young white man, whom he had In
duced to accompany him as wit
ness. as he intended to sue the JOY

scene followed. The witness was
scared out of the room and the negro

J. Richentnaler, the man accused Of

to have cost Tacoma and Seattle peo-
pie 100000, and to which the mails

was in Centralia this week. When he
wassquestioned about the concern. Mr..
Richenthaler stated that he was not
now connected with the Pacific States
Mercantile company. but was gener-
al agent of the Pacific Mutual Coop
erative Investment company. which
has been organized along the same
lines as the former, although not
pretending to give quite so much for
nothing. Mr.. Richenthaler admits
having worked for the Pacific Mercan-
tile company, which he says he thinks
cannot fulfill it's obligations, and is
therefore not responsible. The PACING
Mutual COOPERATIVE Company, al
though organized along the same hnes'
and doing the same kinds OF business
Mr.. Richenthaler thinks is safe. he
stated that the difference between the
Seattle company and the San Francis
co company was in the fact that the
San Francisco company promises to
give so per cent. while the otner COM
nany promises only % per cent. Of the
investment.
When questioned in regard to the re-
mort that 800, 900 had been taken out
Of Seattle, Richenthaler denied it, and
claimed that a large number of the po-
licies had been paid and were not

The Germans of New York and the
most aristoCratic of the aristOcratic
members of New York society are
looking forward with great expectancy
to the coming visit of Prince Adalbert
of Prussia. one of the kaiserS younger
sons. The German societies are al
ready planning a series of receptions
and festivities in honor of the royal
visitor, but it is quite probable, that
there will be many disappointments.
1t is understood that the young prince
will decline the invitations of nearly all
individual clubs and confine himself to
attending joint receptions, given by
several of the most prominent clubs.
The Newport season will probably be
over by the time the prince arrives,
but swell society WILL nevertheless,

royal visitor in a manner BETTING his
