Of understanding the proceedings against
him and IL a subject for a commission In
lunacy rather than for a jury. Supple
mentng their own unanimous opinion that
Thaw does understand the nature OF the

have filed affidavits from the medical ex-
perts employed by the defense and further
affidavit by Mrs. william Thaw, the mother
of the defendant. Mrs. Thaw, however,
does not address herself to the question
Immediately at issue. She takes advan-
tage of the opportunity to state that In
the direct line Of descent for four genera
lions there has been no faint Of insanity
or epilepsy in the prisoners family. She
resents the malicious Misrepresentation
and gross exaggeration" on the subject.
The principal affidavit made in Thaw's
behalf is signed by Mr. Delmas his lead
ing counsel Mr. Delmas attaches TO his
personal statement a score or more OF let
ters and notes he has received from Thaw
during the trial These writings. Mr.. Del

the supreme court this afternoon and were
turned over to Justice Fitzgerald, who will
announce his decision probably Wednesday
morning, when the Thaw Jury has been
ordered to report again. Justice Fitzgerald
will indicate TO the opposing counsel Mon

subject. Whether a commission viii be

Okla, the Japanese who was recently
a household servant at the Meyer street
residence of j. A. Combs who recently
made public the fact that this Japa-

works at Kahauih and Walalae, has
enlisted in the Japanese navy and now
wears the uniform of a seaman aboard

Yesterday he called at the home of
his former employer and stated that he
had enlisted. He was in uniform when
he called.
AS stated in the interview with Mr..
Combs few days ago, this Japanese is
much above the ordinary intelligence
and at the same time was not too care
ful in yelling the fact that he was in
terested in the watching Of military
works here.
Okla states that other japanese here
are anxious to join the ships Of the
squadron and that several will be en-
listed. The vessels are not In need OF

WHEN IS A
TRANSPORT
NOT A WARSHIP2
ATTORNEY GENERALS DEPART
MENT is WRESTLING WITH A
PROBLEM.

Superintendent of Public Works Hol-
loway is after the War Department.
The last time the transport Logan
was in this port the Superintendent
had her charged as pilot fees 81 for
each foot of mean draft. This rate
was charged for her coming in as well
as going out. 1t was an arbitrary in
crease of 100 per cent over what the
vessels had been paying since the time
that James II. Boyd was superinten-
dent of public works. Under the sta
tutes ships of war, pay at the rate Of
81 per foot while other vessels pay a
double rate. Holloway took the posi-
ton that the former rate was wrong
because army transport were not ships
of war.
The transport officers declined to pay
the increase charge. In consequence
of this refusal the matter was re-
ferred to the attorney generals depart
ment for an opinion. f. w. Milverton
has the matter in hand and he will
shortly give an opinion either sustain
ing or overruling the Territory's posi-
ton.

EVIDENCE
In LUMBER TRUST CASE
FREIGHT AGENT OF AMERICAN HAWAIIAN 5. COMPANY
EVIDENCE OF REBATING, WHEREBY THREE DEFENDANTS
IMMENSE ADVANTAGE OVER
COMPETITORS TECHNICAL POINT TODAY.

BY far the most important testimony
that has been elicted in the Lumber
Trust case, was brought out this morn
ing on the examination of c. 2. Morse
the freight agent of the American-Ha-
waiian S. S. Company. Through the
skillful examination of R. w. Breckons
the U. S. District attorney, Morse tes-
titled that his company had made a
fiat rate of $11 per 1000 feet on lumber
when shipped in quantities under 15O,O 900
feet cubic. But if shipped in larger
quantities, a rate of 81 per 1000 feet
was made.
1t was further developed from the
witness, that with the exception of the
Baldwin interests, no lumber dealer or

ever availed themselves of the lower
rate.
Argument this morning and this af-

material point raised by the attorneys
for certain of the defendants, relative
to the admission of certain evidence. 1t
was claimed that no Testimony of any
transaction prior to January 1901, could
be introduced, because neither Allen &

been Incorporated prior to that time.

fore U. S. Judge Dole this afternoon.

Coelho moved immediate adoption.
There was no intention to make any
fuss, the facts connected with the con-
struction of the dam were to be ascer-

at hand at the time of the appropria-

tee of five Senators one from each SEN

Senator Dowsett opposed saying it
was rather early in the session to take
up for consideration any such special
matter. There is a standing commit
tee for just such matters and this
should go there. Chillingworth sup
ported the previous speaker adding that
he was reliably informed that the house
intended to appropriate $4,000 to carry

then withdrew his motion to table and
