Aeitate Smoke Question.-There is a
growing disposition to demand of the
city some better protection against the
smoke evil in this city. People living
down town are especially enthusiastic
in urging some reform upon the fac
tories. The situation in the business
part of town is something which war
rants some action on the part of the
public for relief The smoke evil is a
read and a growing one. The greatest
offenders are the factories and the rail
roads and the extent to which they are
guilty seems to have grown greater Of
late. Throughout the city below the
bluff there is great complaint because
of the smoke and dirt in the air and
housekeepers and storekeepers have
become aroused.

in response to this favor and the con-

front of the stage and made few de-
lightful remarks of appreciation. Miss
Holland declared she feels that she be-

management having it on the steno-

time the transformation was TO take

GOVERNOR VETO[S
HOSPITAL MEASURE
Discovers a Technical Mistake
in Title and Will Not Sign
Local Bill.
ERROR TO BE CORRECTED
BILL WILL AGAIN BE PRESENTED
TO LEGISLATURE AND EFFORT
MADE TO RAILROAD 1T
THROUGH BOTH HOUSES.
(By Demas S. Coe.)

| Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 15.-The
| the relief of Reid Memorial hospital
and embodying the provision that the
city council may appropriate funds for
its maintenance, or that special levy
can be ordered, is up against snag.
After passing both houses, with not
a dozen dissenting votes all told, the
bill ran up against the legal scrutiny
of Governor Hanly and he has given
the information that instead of getting
his approval he will give it veto
mark.
1t seems that the bill in being drawn
by the hospital board was not given
a title which was broad enough to in
clude everything that was provided
for it in the body of the bill. Ere
quently such errors creep into a bill
and it is necessary to amend the titles
SO that everything is covered, before
the final passage. Both senate and
house, and both Speaker Branch and
Lieutenant Governor Miller, passed on
the bill without discovering that the
the measure would be valid in so far as
it would be possible for the council to
appropriate funds. The error of omis
sion is that the title does not include
any evidence that the body of the bill
contains a provision for the special
levy, should one ever be deemed nec
eSsary
Governor Hanly, on discovering the
error, notified Senator Kirkman and
Representatives Elliott and Ratliff,
and this afternoon John l.. Rupe, Geo.
II. Eggemyer and John Johnson, of the
board of trustees of Reid Memorial
hospital, were here to see what could
be done.
Senator Kirkman and other mem
bers of the upper branch, who reeog-
uized that the error was only technic-
al, and that the bill might become
law without being questioned as to its
validity, hoped the governor would
sign it, but the executive was obdurate
and declined to affix his signature to a
measure which he knew was defective
in title. 1t now will be necessary to
the bill with title amend
ed and to rush it through both branch
es under a suspension of the rules. To
do this may cause trouble for both SEN
ate and house are overburdened with
work and they do not look with favor
on rushing local bills which from some
error have been Sidetracked. 1t is
hoped, however, that when it is realiz-
ed that Richmond would be greatly in
by delaying such law
two wears that both senate and house
will agree to it's being passed under a
of the rules. If this is
permitted, the bill can go through
both houses in two days time and be
in the hands of the governor.

JEROME MAY ASK
A LUNACY TRIAL
Lawyers for ThaW are Fearful
of Such Action by the
Prosecution.
TREND OF THE HEARING
A SPECIAL INQUIRY INTO
THAW'S MENTAL CONDITION
WILL BE DEMANDED.
Publishers Press.l

New YORK, rep. 15.-Ciose observ.
ers of the Thaw trial, which was post
poned to Monday because of the death
of jurors wife, believe the trend of
the trial is toward a commission in
lunacy to determine officially Harry
Thaw's condition of mind. This belief
is suggested by District Attorney
Jerome's apparent Willingness to al.
NIT part of the will, by his readiness
to withhold technical objections to
the testimony of Thaws family ply
sicians to throw light on defendants 5
mental status, and by his policy in
afinitting without opposition the con-
versation between Thaw and DIR.
Evans, when the latter was examin-
ing the prisoner in the Tombs.
Counsel for Thaw are said to be of
the opinion that the trial may be ter
minated abruptly any day next week
from this cause. So fully convinced
are they that Jerome will make this
move that they are planning to fight
him on this line. Harry Thaw is cred
tied with having declared that he
would not face the asylum in prefer
ence to Sing Sing and the death cham
ber, so it can be seen with what feel
ing this expected move of Jerome is
creating in the camp of the defense.
One of Thaw's lawyers, in speaking
of the probable plan for a lunacy COM
mission, said "As the case has pro-
gressed from day to day we have be-
come more and more convinced by
the conduct of the district attorney
and his experts. who are observing
the defendant for him. that it has
been and IS his purpose to lead the
case to the point where he can apply
properly for a commission in lunacy.
We don't want the boy declared in
sane. We want him acquitted
Resumption of the trial Monday
will depend on how the Juror, Joseph
B. Bolton. whose wife died Thursday,
stands the ordeal of his affiiction. 1t
is the general opinion of men who
have studied the jury that Bolton
who appears to be a man of determin-
alton, will stand the strain. and that
the trial will be continued.
When Jerome was questioned on
the possible close of the trial by an
application for a commission he de-
clined to discuss the matter in any
way.
Michael D. Downey, who for months
was Thaw's night keeper on the Sec
ond tier of cells in the Tombs, which
is known as "murderer's row. died at
a hospital.

resumed its sessions this afternoon
with Vice President Findlay, of the
Waters Pierce Oil company on the

He remembered paying a sight draft
on Senator Bailey for $500. Sena-

draft. This is the particular draft
he has been denying for the past three
months.
1t looks today as if the tide is turn

friends are deserting him and it is

IN DEADLOCK OVER

President May Call Extra Ses-

Vital Matter.
SOUTHERNERS 0BDURATE
BACON AND TIILMAN UPHOLD
RIGHTS OF STATE IN ATTRACT
ING IMMIGRANTS, THUS BLOCK.
ING LEGISLATION.
IPubli.hars. Press.l

Washington, Feb. 15.-Apparently
the conflicting interests in the senate
are in deadlock over the conference re-
port on the immigration bill, and no
one on either side will undertake 10
say what the outcome may be.
Senators Bacon and Tillman are
even more determined today in their
opposition on account of the provis-
ion which would prev state organ
izations, associations or societies from
aiding in securing immigration to their
states.
1t is understood that they are sup
ported by a number of democratic
senators from Southern states which
have been especially active in securing
immigration.
On the other hand. the republican
advocates of the conference report
today that it is impossible for them
to yield this point Senator Lodge
said that it was quite impossible to ac-
cept the democratic contention.
What the outcome may be at this
l cannot foresee,'' he said, but if the
report is defeated it looks to me as IL
an extra session of congress would be
necessary, for it is absolutely neces-
sary that something should be done to
settle the Japanese question"
AN EXTRA SESSION RUMOR.
New York, Feb 15.-Advices receiv-
ed in this city today contained the ru-
NOR that President Roosevelt had in
formed his friends in the senate that
he would call an extra session of con-
gress to pass an immigration law If
present objection to the conference
report on that measure, which con-
tains his provision for exclusion OF
japanese labor, should prevent the en-
actment of such legislation.

One of the results of the publicity

day will be a thorough investigation
thereof by the proper county officials.
There is every reason TO believe that

lead to radically different methods

Statement by Marvel.
You can rest assured" said DR..
Charles Marvel, county health officer.
yesterday afternoon. that this is a
matter that will receive the attention
of this department at once. There
has been so much sickness in Rich
mond during the last week that have
not had a minute TO spare from my
patients or / would have taken the
Initial steps toward an investigation
when ] first heard of 1t. I will have
a conference with DIR. Wagner the
government inspector and then have
the county veterinarian pay a visit
TO the farm from which this bullock
came and ascertain IL the rest OF the
cattle have become infected with the
disease. 1t is the duty of this depart
ment to use every possible effort for
the preservation of the public health,
and there is mo- question that tie ssala-
OF such meat as would come from tho
carcass of an animal In the condition
OF this beef. as described by the Pal
ladium, is not only menace to health
but places human life in jeopardy. In
my conference with DIR. Wagner I
shall request him i'm the future to-
notify me Immediately of such cases.
Hoover Acts Promptly.
Just as soon as Dairy Inspector l..
c. Hoover learned of the tuberculosis
case he instituted inquiries with n
view to ascertaining whether any OF
the local dairies were being supplied
with milk by the owner of the con-
demned bullock, and soon learned to
his great satisfaction that such was
not the case.
A local meat dealer, who claims
that he handles no meat that does not
bear the government tag. said that
since the discovery at the abattoir
had created SO much talk among his
patrons he had come to the conclu-
sion that 1t would be good idea to
adorn the front of his place of bust
ness with a sign reading something
like this: '.Only government inspect.
ed meat sold here"
