IS THAW CRAZY?
HIS MOTHER TRYING TO SEND
HIM TO AN ASYLUM.

It was disclosed last night in New York
that Harry K Thaw is to be examined be-
fore a lunaey commission. This step has
been decided on by Thaw's lawyers after
much persuasion by Mrs. William Thaw.
She plans to avoid having him placed on
trial for the staying of Stanford White,
preferring to have him sent to the Mat
teawan Asylum for the Criminal Insane.
An application for the appointment OF the
lunacy commission will be made, 1t is I'M
derstood, before Justice Blanchard next
week in the supreme court, criminal branch
The application will be based upon the affi-
davits of several of Thaws lawyers and OF
alenists who have made a thorough phys
ical and mental examination of the pris-
Oner.
Information that this was to be done has
reached the district attorneys office NO
opposition will be offered. The district at
torneys Office will insist. however upon
having an examination of Thaw by Drs
Macdonald and Flint, representing the
state.
Clifford w. Hartrdge, Thaw's lawyer, re-
fused to discuss any of the plans for the
defense. but said Mrs. William Thaw would
not visit her son in the Tombs for the next
three weeks
Mr. Hartridge and his associates know
that under the laws of New York the only
answer to justify homicide Is self -defense
w
to perfect his defense and give a lot of or
ders to get evidence to sustain his claim OF
justification, the lawyers. it is declared
have been working entirely upon the only
defense that can help Thaw after the ex-
clusion of self-defense and that is insanity
Thaw was examined yesterday by Dr.
Clinton D. Evans of the state asylum at
Morris Plains, N. j., and DR.. Charles T.
Wagner of the state asylum at Bingham
ton, N. Y. Thaw was taken to the hospital
cell by the alienists. DR.. Frank T. Nc
CURE the Tombs physician, asked to be al
lowed. to be present at the examination, but
was excluded from the cell.
None of the alienists who have examined
Thaw will consent to swear that he was IN
sane when he killed Stanford White, or
that he was not insane Immediately before
or afterward, but all have agreed. 1t Is
said. that Thaw is suffering from pro
gressive mental disease which began years
ago and continues. .
The malady is of such a nature that II
does not impress a knowledge of its exist
| ence upon Thaw, and he believes thorough
| ly in his own sanity, and will until the
| blight of reason is complete.
One of the most characteristic symptoms
! of this disease, it is said, is clearly dehned
| in Thaw's eyes, which are said to snow
| that the malady has passed from the IN
| cipient stage.

A FIERCE RUSH FOR MONEY.
It Was Made by 5000 Depositors in
the Milwaukee Avenue Bank
at Chicago.

Chicago, lll--SiXty policemen were
overwhelmed Friday by mad
rush of men and women who were de.
termined to get the first money paid
out of the vaults of the ruined Mil
waukee Avenue state bank. Receiver
Fetzer had made arrangements to pay
20 per cent to 5000 of the $4,000 de.
positors, and everybody was anxious
to be among the 5000. At daybreak
the crowds commenced to gather
around the bank and by o'clock the
bank was surrounded by 5000 people.
Sixty policemen had been sent to the
bank, but they were unable TO handle
the crowd. the greater part of which
was unable to understand the English
language
Forty more officers were finally sent
70 the bank, and order was even then
restored with difficulty. II seemed
impossible to make the depositors
comprehend that although only 5000
were TO be paid Friday, the others
would be paid just as much within the
next few days. At one time the crowd
threatened TO fairly storm the bank,
as, waving their pass books in the air,
they rushed for the doors shouting in

day.

Chicago, Ill.-The annual crop and

of uncertainty is closing rapidly and
the crop may now be called practic-

as this movement has begun early and

A STORMY SESSION.
Convention Of Illinois Democrats En-
dorsed Bryan, but Refused to Obey
His Request to Depose Sullivan.

Peoria, lll.-By a vote of 1,03S
TO go the democratic state
convention on Tuesday placed upon
the table the request of William j.
Bryan for the resignation of Roger
Sullivan from the national committee.
Despite the fact that Mr.. Bryan had
declared that he did not wish to be en-
dorsed unless Sullivan was repudiated,
the convention declared Bryan to be
the one and only man capable OF lead
ing the democratic party to Victory In
1908.
The endorsement of Bryan and the
tabling of the motion calling for the
resignation of Mr.. Sullivan came at
the close OF most exciting session of
the convention In which there we're
several fights and throughout which
confusion reigned supreme.
The committee on resolutions de-
clined to report plank calling for the
resignation Of Sullivan and the debate
followed upon motion made In the
convention by Judge owen Thompson,
Of Jacksonville, calling for Sullivan's
resignation. 1t had been agreed that
each side should have 45 minutes In
which to present its side of the case
and Judge Thompson was the frst ad-
vocate Of the cause of Mr.. Bryan.
He aroused the hostility OF Sulli-
vans friends by the unsparing manner
in which he dwelt upon the last demo.
cratic convention at Springfield. He
strobe up and down the platform, his
face white with wrath and his form
shaking with the intensity of his feel
lngs. His caustic criticism finally lost
him the ear of the convention and he
might never have been able to con.
clude his speech If Sullivan had not
personally requested quiet.
Sullivan, who followed Thompson
and who was the first speaker in his
own behalf. declared that the ear Of
Mr. Bryan had been poisoned against
him and that the demand for his res.
igna'ion sprang from his personal
enemies.
