DAY BLAMEs THE PRESIDENT.
Syracuse University Chancellor Finds
Cure for Financial Unrest.

New York. April lit is Presi-
dent Roosevelt himself who has brought
the country to the very brink of finan-
cial peril says Chancellor James R.
Day, of Syracuse University.
Chancellor Day said it would be a
good thing if congress repealed half
the laws on the books, including the
Sherman act and made no new laws
for twenty years
I'VE are overloaded" he says, until
about every form of business in the
country is outlawed. We have so
many laws and so many sniffling COM
missions, so many special and assist
ant prosecuting attorneys barking on
the scent, that the business man today
cannot tell from one day to another
whose law he is violating.
"If President Roosevelt wants my
suggestion for a remedy of evils l
would say to him: Calm down. Study
Washington's farewell address as a
caution against the misuse of the con-
stitution; study Lincoln's mighty faith
and superb patience and his charity for
all: study McKinley's philosophical.
practical, sound sense, and give the
people rest"

PRESIDENT AIDS BUSSE
Republican Leaders in Chicago Pleased
With letter From RooseveIt-Both
Sides Still Claim Decisive Victory
-Epithets Exhausted.

Chicago, April Republican leaders
in the municipal campaign now draw
ing to close expressed themselves as
delighted with the letter published III
the Tribune today. in which the state
ment is made, "by authority" that
President Roosevelt Is in favor OF the
election of Frederick A. Busse, the re-
publican candidate for mayor.
The democratic leaders assert that
the letter, coming as it does from a
paper which is strongly in favor of the
election of Busse is discredited in ad-
vance; that even tho ii came from the
president himself 1t is too late to stop
the progress of the vote which has set
In strong for Dunno. Chairman O'Con-
nell, the democratic campaign manager,
said today the election of Dunno was
absolutely certain, that nothing can
now prevent it.
The campaign today took on more
lively aspect than at any time prev
ious. All day band wagons rolled
thruout the city advertising political
gatherings, which We're scheduled in all
sections of the city al all hours of the
day between noon and midnight. No
new epithets We're applied for the rea-
son that the supply has been exhausted,
but the old ones as usual were hurled
back and forth. Chicago has never
known a political campaign in which
invective and vituperation have played
so prominent part.
Claims by the campaign managers
are unchanged, each predicting the
election of their candidate by at least
10000. Numerous straw votes taken
by papers which are favorable TO
Busse, show the election of the re-
publican candidate by a plurality of
10000 to $4,000. Papers supporting
Dunno have taken no straw votes.
Mayor Dunno delivered many speeeH-
es during the day and was received
with enthusiasm at all places by his
followers. Busse, who is confined to
his apartments during the campaign
because of injuries received In the ac-
cident on the Pennsylvania road, left
his room today for the first time and
received prominent men of the party
in his parlor He and they expressed
themselves as certain of coming sue

LIFE OF eALusHA A. GROW ENDS
Former Congressman Succumbs to
Breakdown Due to Old Age.

Binghamton, N. Y, April 1.-For-
mer Congressman Galusha A. Grow
died at his home in Glenwood. Pa,
Sunday afternoon as result of a gen.
eral breakdown attributed to old age.
Mr.. Grow was elected to congress
from the Wilmot district of Pennsyl-
vania as the youngest member of that
body in 1851 and after retirement from
public life for nearly forty years he re-
entered the house as congressman at
large from Pennsylvania fourteen years
ago. When he retired four years ago
his public service in the house extended
over the longest period. altho not con-
tinuous service of any man who ever
sat in that body.
During the antebellum days he was
one of the best known men in the
United States and in 1864 he came
within ore vote of being nominated for
vice president in place of Andrew
johnson. who became president on the
death of. Abraham Lincoln. Mr.. Grow

Thaw Free by Sunday.

New York, April 1.-Easter Sunday
for Harry Thaw, in the Tombs, was
made more cheerful by visit from his
wife. to whom John v. Coggey, COM
missioner of correction, had granted
special permit to pass the afternoon
with her husband.
When Mrs. Thaw left at o'clock,
after having been almost two hours
with the prisoner. she spoke for the
f,rst time since the tragedy last June
to reporters.
Harry grows more cheerful and sat
listed with the way his affairs are pro-
crossing every day." she said. Like
all the rest of us, he is perfectly conf
dent that the commission will find him
sane and that the trial will go on. He
even talked of being free next Sunday,
and planned how we would dine to-
gether."
In reply to a question as to Thaw's
having ]dabbled recently in Wall street
Mrs Thaw said emphatically:
..Thats absurd Harry hadn't been
in the market for long time, and such
transactions as have been made for him
were closing out holdings he had before
he was arrested"
Mrs. Thaw was gowned IN modish
suit of brown and a hat of the same
shade surmounted with long white os-
trich plumes. The change in her ap-
pearance in the court room-clad In
the childish suit of blue-was marked.

that position during the first two
years of the war. until his retirement
from congress in 1863.
Mr.. Grows greatest public service
was as the author of the homestead
laws. thru which measure many mlil-
ion acres of western farm lands were
opened up to settlement by homestead
ers. an act which has been credited
with doing more than any other one
thing for the development of the great

Roosevelt thanking him for his support

dating him and other western con-

cause it has tended to dampen some
of the enthusiasm for closer relations

NEXT THURSDAY

NO MORE TRIAL WITNESSES
NO MORE TRIAL WITNESSES
Believed That Arguments Will Be
Commenced If Commission Finds
Thaw is Sane - Summing Up Will
Last Two Day. Jury Wants More
Pay.

New York, April 1.-When the jury
court today, Justice Fitzgerald again
adjourned the trial until Thursday
morning. The lunacy commission will
meet tomorrow. and it is expected that
they will be ready to report Thursday.
In the case the commission finds that
Thaw is today insane within the mean
ing of the law, the trial Will be
stopped But if they find that he is
capable of going on, the trial will be
resumed at once. 1t is, doubtful If the
defense will call any other witnesses,
altho it has been said that Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw would be recalled to repeat
her story of the Hummel affidavit. AS
soon as the defense rests, the summing
up will begin, and will, under agree
ment made between the attorneys, last
for two days.
Members Of the Thaw jury have
drawn up a petition to Justice Fitz-
gerald asking him to allow them five
days for jury services, instead of the
customary Allowance OF 81. Their
action is based on the instance in
which the court made similar increase
in the jury's allowance, after case
had been extended to unusual length.
Mrs. Thaw Subpoenaed.
When Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
made her daily visit to her husband in
the Tombs today she was met by a
process server who handed her SUBJ
poena, directing her to appear before
the lunacy commission tomorrow. Mrs.
Thaw apparently had not anticipated
the move, and appeared very much dis
turbed when the nature of the paper
was made known to her.
..Do they expect me to testify against
nv husband?'' she asked.
She was told that her presence was
probably desired merely as a matter OF
routine. but this did not seem to as
sure her. Jerome declined to make
known his purpose in calling Mrs.
Thaw before the commission.
