Lawyers, physicians, laymen and city
officials were praising the movement OF

The material advantages of Richmond Will

that the happy intercourse between the

It certainly seems to have had the effect
OF bringing about a closer community of
interest between them, and will likely
result In clearer and better understand

So well, inded, did the banquet take,
that one Of the highest and most popu-
lar officials in the City Hall suggests
that while the matter is yet fresh in the

men and Counclmen are giving atten-
ton to what was said and done. there

Savannah, Ga, March 3.-The prin-
cipal testimony at the Greene and
Gaynor trial today was given by Jos.
J. Gleason, who identified the hand
writing of Michael A. Connolly in
numerous signatures to documents IN
evidence. United States District At
torney Marion Erwin thinks that the
government will conclude it's case ear
ly next week. In discharging the jury,
Judge Speer said that he did not think
that the prediction to the effect that
the case would break down would be
qualified. District Attorney Erwin
called upon the defense to produce the
books of the Atlantic Contracting
Company, under which name Greene
and Gaynor entered into contracts
with the government. P. w. Meldrlm
of counsel for the defense. said they
had no books, that such as they had
the government had already been
given. The government, said the dis
trict attorney did not acknowledge
this to be true. Testimony was given
by Gleason in substantiation of the
governments charge of forgery having
been practiced in the perpetration OF
the alleged frauds upon the govern
rnent The name of Edward H. Gay
nor. the witness said, was in the hand
writing of Connolly, on a statement
of accounts. The court called Colo
mel Meldrim's attention to the fact
that Carter had approved the account.
Although Edward H. Gaynor's sigma
ture was in the handwriting of M. A.
Connolly, the court said that it be-
hooved the defense. if it could do SO
to disprove the fact that Connolly
wrote the name of Gaynor. E. J. keat-
ing, who was a government inspector
at one of the brush camps maintain
ed by Greene and Gaynor. gave fig
ures he said he had compiled while at
the works. He estimated, he said,
that in all a mattress cost the contrac-
tors $370.73 The government paid
$3,491.25. He was closely questioned
by the defense's counsel in effort to
show that the estimate of cost was too
small.

THE PANAMA CANAL
Type of Waterway to be Determined
Before More Witnesses are Exam
ined

Washington, March 3.-No more
witnesses will be examined by the sem
ate committee on interoceanic canals
until after the type of canal has been
determined and other information OBJ
tanned which is necessary to the prep
aration of bill for the government Of
the zone and the construction of the
isthmian waterway. This decision was
reached today in an executive session
of the committee.
Senator kittredge stated that he
thought the substantial questions re-
lating to canal affairs should be set
tied as soon as possible in order to
prepare the committee to draft and
consider canal legislation. He spoke
of the type of canal. salary question,
the method of purchasing supplies
and a number Of other matters. He
said that congress would not wait for
the committee if it insisted upon pro-
longing the examination of witnesses
and if the committee hoped to get
a bill passed it should begin at once to
give consideration to such a measure.
Nearly all of the senator's present
expressed views similar to those of
Mr.. Kittredge. The action Of the COM
mittee, however, contemplates the
the completion of the testi-
mony of J. E. Markell, of Omaha,
Neb, and he will be heard on Monday.
After that any witnesses summoned
will be with a view to gathering infor-
nation for a canal bill It is likely
that this will include members Of the
canal commission and some members
of the consulting board of engineers.

TRYING TO PROVE HIM INSANE
Witnesses i'm the Matthews Case Tes.
tify as to the Mental Condition OF
the Prisoner.

Greensboro, N. c., March 3.-In an
effort to prove that insanity is hered-
itary in the Matthews family, the aged
father of DR.. J. B. Matthews, who is
being tried on the charge OF poison
ing his wife, was placed on the wit
ness stand today. He declared that
his mother was mentally deranged,
and that his sister was weak-minled,
while the prisoners great uncle and
great aunt had both lost their rea-
son.
The proceedings of this, the fourth
day of the trial, for the most part,
consisted of the testimony of members
of the Matthews family and medical
experts as to the mental arrangement
of the prisoner. One of the latter, DR..
). A German, of Asheville. N. c..
averred that while sharing a room with
the accused man, number of years
ago, Matthews had made a desperate
effort to end his life. Numerous wit
nesses testified to acts Of the prisonec
while practicing medicine in this city
which in their opinion proved him
mentally unbalanced. The defense has
nancy more witnesses yet to be heard
while the state will produce new evi.
dence in rebuttal.
