THAW NOT SURPRISED
WHEN INFORMED OF THE
COMM ISSIoN'S VERDICT
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 4-Harry K.
Thaw was today declared sane by the
unanimous report of the commission
in lunacy to inquire into his present
mental condition.
The moment the decision was handed
down from Justice Fitzgerald's desk,
District Attorney Jerome was on his
feet vigorously protesting against it's
confirmation by the court.
He declared it was the last session
of the commission and demanded to be
allowed to have access to the minutes
and stenographic notes of what trans
pired at the final mental and physical
examination of the defendant.
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the district
attorney. Mr.. Jerome declared he would
carry the case to the appellate division
of the supreme court, asking that a,
writ of prohibition or mandamus be
granted to prevent a continuance of
the Thaw trial until the higher court
had ruled upon the legality of the
commissions course.
Justice Fitzgerald reminded Mr..
Jerome that he had waived the statu-
tory right of attending the last ses-
sion of the commission by suggesting
himself that all the attorneys be ex-
cluded from the sitting in question.
He then granted the district attorney
an adjournment until Monday morn
ing in order that he might have time
to prepare his application to the ap-

LANDSLIDE HITS
PASSENGER
TRAIN
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
LANG, Cal, April 4.-The second sec
ton of No. 25, a heavy passenger train,
ran into landslide half a mile west
of Lang tonight at 10 O'clock A great
smashup is the result, but strange to
say, not single passenger or member
of the crew was hurt. The train left
Los Angeles at 1880 and had twelve
cars and two engines. The train was
running onlg about fifteen miles an
hour.
The jar of the heavy train brought
down probably a thousand tons of earth
and stone. The head engine was crowd
ed about ten feet off the track. The
second engine has but one truck off the
track. The baggage car is smashed to
smithereens and stands erect, almost on
end. Trunks and grips are scattered in
all directions and badly smashed. Bag
gageman Higgins was luckily in the
express car which was only slightly
wrecked.
All the other cars are on the track
and but little injured. Engineer Billy
Nearle on the front engine, No. 1901,
saw the slide coming down upon him
and jumped and ran after putting on
his air and reversing steam.
One man was killed. A portion of his
body has been found protruding from
the wrecked baggage car. He probably
was tramp stealing a ride. Until the
wreck is cleared there is no means OF
ascertaining his identity.

DARING PLOT is
DISCOVERED
IN TIME
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 4.-Docu-
mentary evidence of plot on the part
of the reactionary organizations sup
ported by powerful influences at court,
to cause the dissolution of the lower
house of parliament, was printed to-
day in the Reich, organ of the con-
Stitutional democrats, in the form of
circular signed by M. Puriskevich, a
monarch member of the house from
Bessarabia and vice president of the
league of the Russian people, which
was sent to all branches of the league.
This circular shows that the many
kilograms to the emperor now appear
ing in the reactionary organ, the Rus
sian Banner demanding the dissolu-
tion of the house, were sent by direct
orders of the leagues headquarters
here.
The date of the circular shows that
the plot was conceived, March 49,; a
week after the convocation of parlia-
ment, and was set in motion March
q, by a prearranged signal, a mys-
terious black cross in the Russian Ban
ner, whose appearance conceded with
the murder of DR.. Jollos.
The circular directed that. should the
plot succeed, loyalist demonstration
| was to be organized upon the day of
the dissolution of parliament
The movement for dissolution Of
the house has the full sympathy of
the reactionary members of the cabi-
net, and although no steps have yet
been taken in that direction, the pos
sibility of parliament being dissolved
is plainly foreseen.

CHICAGO. April 4.-The differences
between the western railroads and the
members of the Order of Conductors
and of the Brotherhood of Trainmen
were finally adjusted today.
The men abandoned their demand for
a nine-hour work day and the railroads
made an advance over their previous
propositions in the case of baggagemen,
flagmen and brakemen of $3.50 per
month. The original demands of the
men were for a II per cent increase and
for a work day of nine hours. The
managers offered an increase Of 10 per
cent and declined to grant the nine
hour day.
The agreement was reached mainly
through the efforts of Chairman Knapp
of the interstate commerce commission
and Chairman Neill of the Illinois labor
commission.
The new agreement, which goes into
effect dating from April 1, follows:
New Agreement
The pay of conductors in the passen-
ger service to be increased $40 per
month, that Of baggagemen $3.50, and
that of flagmen and brakemen $3.50 per
month as applied to the schedules in
effect November 10, 1906,
reduction in crews or increase in mile
age for the purpose of offsetting the in
creased wages given the passenger
trainmen.
Overtime in the passenger service to
be allowed on the basis of fifteen miles
per hour, to be computed for each part
of the run subsequently.
The run is to begin at the scheduled
time of leaving.
Roads on basis of more than ten
hours for a day for a helper of a con-
struction train service are to make no
increase in the rates paid for such
service.
The increases granted in the agree
ment are to apply also to rates for spe-
cial services as specified In the indi-
viduaI schedule.
Upon roads having a better basis for
a days work or for payment of over
time or other allowances in all branches
of train service, the acceptance of this
agreement Is not to act as a reduction.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men were also granted today by the
railroads an increase OF 10 per cent.

BY Associated Press,

by ASSOCldleu EIeSS'
WASHINGTON, April At was
said on authority at the White House
today that there is ample evidence at
hand for the claim that the president
holds that there is a movement on foot
to defeat his policies in congress and
in the next convention.
1t is believed that the Hearst-H -Har-
riman-Rockefeller combine has al
ready a fund of $5,0OO,0OO with which
to carry on it's campaign in opposition
to the president 1t was further
authoritatively stated:
They are gathering up the loose ends,
but the movement will flatten out. 1t
is apparent in Ohio and Pennsylvania;
in fact it extends across the entire
country
The scheme was thoroughly divulged
at recent dinner and reached the
White House through a friend of the
president.
movement is to buy newspapers, pub
lie men and others who may assist the
opponents of the president in their
work.
1t is also stated authoritatively at
the White House today that part of the
plan to encompass the defeat of the
presidents policy is the election of
delegates to the national convention
from those states known to favor the
president, these delegates being in
structed for President Roosevelt, not
withstanding knowledge in advance
that the president would not be can
didate.
Then, according to the. statement, on
the president declining to be a candi-
date for denomination, rs he has said
he would decline, the delegates are to
consider themselves free and are to
switch over to some opponent of the
president and the policies for which
he is standing.
The secret of the alleged combina-
ton, it was stated at the White House,
first leaked out at a dinner in this
city attended by a number of anti
Roosevelt Republicans a few weeks
ago. A friend of President Roosevelt
who was present at the dinner carried
the news to the White House.
