INSANITY NOT TO
Be THE DEFENSE
Lawyers Have Decided on Diff
ferent Grounds on Which
to Fight for ThaW.
YOUNG MAN is PLEASED
FROM THE FIRST HE PROTESTED
THAT HE WAS IN HIS RIGHT
MIND-HIS MOTHER REACHES
HOME THIS AFTERNOON
Publishers Press1

New York, July 13.-It became
known today that Harry Kendall
Thaws defense for killing Stanford
White will not be insanity, neither
emotional nor in any other degree.
From turmoil of doubt which has
enveloped this most important phase
of the case, it may now be stated on
unquestionable authority that the
young Pittsburger's trial for his life
will be based upon evidence apart
from that of mental derange ment
The great legal fight for Thaw's life
will assume proportions greater than
has been generally supposed.
1t is said that the elimination of in
sanity as a defense, a decision reach
ed by the counsel after much delibera
ton, was the good news" for Harry
which sent Evelyn Nesbit Thaw post
haste to the Tombs from the office OF
Former Judg Olcott yesterday after
noon.
Thaw himself, was fairly transport
ed over the decision. 1t was what
he has contended for all along-stub
bornly protesting against any excuse
for his act which might establish him
as mental weakling and cast him in
mad house.
Mrs William Thaw, mother of the
millionaire murderer, will reach New
York on her hasty return from Eu
rope, late tomorrow afternoon. The
Hamburg American liner, Kaiserin
Victoria, from Hamburg on which
Mrs. Thaw is a passenger has been re
ported by wireless telegraph, 500 miles
East of Sandy Hook, and it is figured
that she will reS<h her dock about
4:30 Saturday afternoon.
As soon as the elder Mrs. Thaw has
had an opportunity to see her son and
his lawyers, it is expected that Ger
tain vital phases of the campaign OF
defense. now still shapeless. will take
on definite form and purpose.

C., c. 81. WITHOUT
RAILROAD FRIEND
Attorney Starr Asks State
Board to Reduce Roads
Assessment.
VALUATION WAS RAISED
WHEN THE GREAT CENTRAL
SYNDICATE BOUGHT THE ROAD
THE HOLDINGS INCREASED IN
VALUE BUT HAVE FALLEN.

The indianapolis News, in its edi-
tion last night, said:
without railroad friend in the
world, and with the hand of every
man against 1t, according TO Harry G.
Starr, of Richmond, attorney for the
company, the Chicago, Cincinnati and
louisville. railroad, was before the
State Tax Board yesterday, asking a
reduction in it's assessment. This
line, which was formerly the c., K. a.
M, has had a career so checkered
that no one has been able to keep
track of it.
! "Mr Starr said that when he APP
reared before the board two years ago
the assessment of the road was raised
81 800 q mile because the line had just
been bought up by a syndicate COM
posed of the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton and the Pere Marquette,
(which was known as the Great Cen
trial route. This, it was expected,
would make the road valuable and II
the deal had not been repudiated by
the purchasers this desired end would
have been brought about. But the
syndicate finally went into the hands
of receiver, Judge Judson Harmon OF
Cincinnati, being appointed by the
United States Courts as receiver for
both the roads, and Judge Harmon
repudiated the contract and sale and
threw the c., C. e. l.. back on the
hands of the original owners who are
now operating it.
During the time the Great Central
Syndicate had the road the Cincin-
matt terminals of the c., c. & l.. were
disposed of by lease and the track
between Cottage Grove and Cincin-
matt, was practically abandoned, c., G.
&c l.. trains running into Cincinnati
over the c., II. & ID. tracks from Cot
tage Grove. One train day was run
over the c., G. & l. tracks in order to
hold the roads franchise. Another
stretch of track west from Griffith,
Ind, was likewise abandoned because
c., C. &. l.. trains could run over the
Pere Marquette tracks.
Outlook Was Encouraging.
"There was at that time a rosy
prospect for the CROOKED, Rough and
Muddy" this has all been changed
since the sale was repudiated. Now
the road has no entrance into Chica-
go-not even a traffic arrangement
with any other road for handling its
Chicago business 1t was left with
out terminal facilities in Cincinnati
because it's own property had been
leased away, and 1t has had to arrange
for cheap. temporary terminal in
that city. During the last year the
operation OF the road cost over 800.
600 more than the total income, leav-
Ing nothing for taxes or interest.
"In view of all these conditions and
the fact that the road is a money
loser, Mr.. Starr asked the board to re-
duce the assessment and put 1t back
where it was before the increase was
made"

The Action Relative to lncrea-
sed Rates Stirs up Non
Union Companies.
COMPLICATED SITUATION.
OUTCOME is PlAlN-iN THE
MEANWHILE THE PROPOSED IN
CREASE HAS NOT BECOME
EFFECTIVE.

AS stated in the Palladium a few
days ago. the local fire insurance I'M
derwriters, announced that the pro-
posed new adyance-rate schedule
would not become effective until af-
ter the Indiana Board had met. 1t
now developers that a big fight is on
between the Indiana Board of Fire
Underwriters. the organization of
what are known as the union fire in
surance companies, and the Indiana
League of Underwriters, composed of
the nonunion companies in Indiana,
over the proposition to increase fire
insurance rates on certain unprofitab
lie lines of risks in the State outside
of indianapolis.
Not long ago the union organization
sent out a notification to all inspectors
throughout the State instructing them
to put into effect at once the advance
| in rates.
The Indiana League Of Underwrit-
ers, which was organized only a few
months ago, Immediately sent out a
notice to all agents of non-uniOn com
| panies not to make the increase until
they had been further advised. The
position taken by the league was that
| it had as much right to handle the
rate question as had the union board,
and that it did not propose to be ig-
nored when q schedule of rates was
made up. This caused confusion, but
the State board did not change its
order for an advance.
Nothing Accomplished.
At the meeting of the State League,
held this week, the action of it's Off
GERS in dsregarding the notice of in
crease was ratified. Then a resolu-
ton was adopted favoring an advance
in the rates on the lines specified in
the order of the State board, and that
the latter organization be invited to
joint conference on the subject.
A joint meeting was held and the
matter discussed briefly, but the union
board decided that it did not have the
power to accede to the demand of the
league for joint consideration of the
rate question, and the conference
broke up without having accomplished
anything.
This leaves the fire insurance situa'
| ton in the State in complicated
condition. The union companies are
bound by the order for the increase
in rates, while the league companies
can, if they so desire, adhere to the
old rates until they decide on further
action.

Warren Bigler, Auditor of State. will
begin next Monday morning to make
thorough investigation of both the
State Life Insurance Company and
State Agency Company. He will make
the investigation Of the Insurance.
company under the provision of the
State insurance laws, which give the
Auditor of State the right to examine
any insurance company doing bust
ness in the State of Indiana whenever
he so desires.
The investigation of the State
Agency company will be made under
the statute providing for the exami-
nation of voluntary associations and
the proceeding in this case will be
the same as was adopted by the Au-
ditor of State in his recent investiga-
ton of the French Lick Hotel Com
pany and the West Baden Hotel Com
pany.
President Sweeney Pleased.
Andrew M. Sweeney, president of
the State Life Insurance Company,
ed that the Auditor OF State has de-
cided to make the investigation.
Two new members were added to
the board of directors of the State
Agency Company at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon. They are John
S. Lazarus, former president of the
indianapolis Board of Trade. and
ENxtyt,, of 20
Evans Milling Company.
George r. Wilson is the only mem
Der of the board who remains. While
the board was in session the notice
of the State Auditor that he intended

ed on it.
The notice of State Auditor Bigler
states that he will appear personally
and with assistants at the Office of
the two companies on Monday, July
16, for the purpose of making the ex-
aminations. Mr.. Bigler said today
that he had not decided on his assist
ants and that he did not known as yet
who they would be.
1t is likely, however. that James E
Noal, an attorney, who has been as.
sisting in the investigation Of the Sc
curities that the life insurance com
panies have on file with the Auditor
of State, will be one of them.
Whether the examination will be
open to the public is not yet known
Mr.. Bigler says the examination OF
books will necessarily be private, but
he can not say as to the examination
of witnesses. President Sweeney, OF
the State Life, says he has no objec
tion to a public hearing.

Barred Out by Bad Manners.

The perennial report that the Queen Dowager of Italy is about to visit this country has cropped up again. This time she is coming to make an auto mobile tour of the United States. There is no doubt that Queen Margherita would like to visit America or that she would have done so long ago, if she could make the journey quietly. But that is out of the question. Royal per sonages can travel incognito in Europe without the least difficulty, but they can't in the United States, where roy alty IS a curiosity The queen would be regarded and treated as a free cir GUS from one end of the country to the other and wouldn't have a minutes peace, although she is really, except by courtesy, private person, as much en- titled to have her privacy respected as any ordinary tourist. It seems a hard thing to say but it Is the simple truth that Margherita would have a wretch ed time of it over here because we are such bad-mannered people.
