 NEW YORK. June Solitary K. Thaw answered mot guilty" when ar raigned in general sessions for the murder of Stanford White. He was remanded to the Tombs. and date for his trial will be fixed next Tuesday.
 When called on to plead every eye in the crowded courtroom was turned on Thaw. but he appeared to be the most unconcerned person there.
 You have been indicted for murder in the first degree" said Judge Cowing. How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?'
 In the usual routine of such court proceedings the prisoner waits for counsel to answer. but Thaw. through ignorance or intentionally. did not wait for Judge 0lcott to answer for him. In a voice clear and strong that could be heard in the most remote corner of the courtroom he answered:
 Not guilty"
 Judge Olcott had opened his lips to make a similar answer. and he gave a look at Thaw that was a combination of annoyance. surprise and amazement
 Turning td Judge Cowing. Mir. olcott said:
 Your honor. we wish to enter plea of not guilty. and we also desire to re- serve the privilege of changing our plea and of making any other motion we may see it between this time and Tuesday next"

other matters discussed was the pro- posal of the secretary of the interior to let out the printing of the patent omce Gazette by contract. In ex- plaining the cost of this publication MT Stillings said: This work Is now being done on machines, where the operator started with an average .of 1600 ems per hour. That is the unit of compensation. A commercial shop would not think of doing less than 2500. We have some four or five out of twenty operators who eau do, on good clean stretch of copy. a possible 2500 ems, but we have n large number, the great majority of the men in each division. who are doing less than that, with the result that the average product per man Is pulled down and the cost per thousand ems Is raised. have to make economies and those consist of weeding out and assigning to other work or dismissing these people who cannot rise to the situation of tho new method of photography and get this thing down where 1t ought to be-"
 This Is a remarkable statement, It can be seen from it that in private establishments an operator is re. quired to do two-fifths more worx per hour than one who is working for the government. In other words, in a day of eight hours the commer- cial operator would be required to average 10000 ems while the goy- ernment operator would average only 12.000. It is not to be wonder ed at that government composition very much more than does commer- cial. Pursuing this subject, Mir Sti;- lings said: "I have handicap on the eight hour day of. roughly speak, ing, II per cent, on leaves of ab- sence of Ia cent and on the vage scale about an average of 25 per cent-a handicap of about 44 per cent. On the other hand l have the advantage of no depreciation which in the printing business is estimated roughly at ten per cent and I have no interest which In commercial work would be 6 per cent We win assume l am handicapped 2s pey cent"
 Tn this statement Mir Stillings says he has the advantage of no deprec.a- ton and no interest. That is true, speaking of himself. but the govern ment labors under both disadvant- ages. for its depreciation is as great as that of private concerns and while the government pays no direct inter- est on the money invested. the same may be said of the large commercial printing establishments. but they ai- ways reckon In the interest when computing their profits. So. in fact the government is handicapped forty per cent in doing its own printing. IT the figures given by Mir stiIIings are accurate and there is no reason to doubt them. then the government could save at least forty per cent If the present cost. by letting all ifs printing out by contract This would affect a very large saving It would not only save in the cost of the vork done but it would result in cutting of a very large amount of useless printing nov ordered by the vario1s depsrtments

GOVERNMENT PRINTING
'retty Costly, and Movement May Re
 Inaugurated to Abolish It.

\ Washington, D. O., June 30.-
 Should the government do It's own printing? That question is now agi-
 ating the minds of many congress men. Long ago the press of the country settled the question in the negative. They have often asked why the government should do its own printing any more than 1t should manufacture the wagons and harness used in the army. For a number of years congressman have known that the cost of the work as now con ducted is very much greater than it would be if done under contract, but that knowledge, until lately, has been carefully hidden from the gen eral public.
 Even at its very inception the gov ernment printing office was a crea- ture of party Iblitics, more than of my absolute necessity for such an in- stitution. The original groundwork for changing the system that had been in Gogue since the formation of the government was the constantly recurring complaints of delays in get ting out the work for congress dur ing its session. For more than half century America has been a land where politicians and their hench- men sought for some kind of govern- ment employment. The demand far outrun the then facilities, and tho cry for place induced the setting up of government printing plant. The e. O. D., as 1t Is usually called, has always furnished a safe and secure landing place for the hungry cor stituents of congressman. It in- creased in size and In number of enn- ployes. and fin cost of maintenance from two causes: it being easy to get matter printed. without anybody to call a halt, naturally led bureau chiefs. heads of departments and other officials to multiply their de- mands. increase the sire of their re- ports. and then. the more work. th, greater the number of hungry con- stituents that could be fed.
 So strong was the political pull of the unions that for many years it was impossible to introduce into tho government ofiice any improved ma- chinery. or new labor or time saving devices: hence. until within a very recent period of time the government once was far behind private estab- lishments In its facilities to do good work and to do it promptly. The result of all this was 10 very largely increase the cost of the government. for years congressman have had a knowledge of these facts. Under the law any member of congress who de- sires to have q speech printed for cir cuiation has had the privilege of having 1t done at the government ofice. at the actual cost. yet on near iy all such occasions the congress man has preferred private establish menfs because the work would cost less.
 A fev months ago the Public Print CT gave an order for 100 type-settfne machines. This caused a great furry The president. with his usual i'm petuosffy. had the order held up and appointed . committee to investigate the subject. This caused the down fall of the public printer and a new man stepped into his place The rov csused the senate committee on to make some inquiry as so the cost Of work done in the o1lce- CharIes A ssi1lIngs. the ne~ public printer was recently caIled bseoge tAs eoanittss an1 anoag
