LUNACy COMMISSION AP-
POINTED IN THAW CASE.
Names Prominent Persons. Zach Side
Expresses Satisfaction.

New York, March 27-Justice Fitz-
gerald has named commission in
lunacy to inquire into the present
state of mind of Harry K Thaw The
appointment was announced privately
in the judges chambers. Evelyn Nesbit
ThaW was there with the lawyers, and
it became her task to break the news
to her husband in the Tombs. fearful
when she left the judges rooms in the
criminal courts building, the young
woman who has been such a conspicu-
Gus figure in the trial from first 70 last
was smiling and cheerful when Thaw
was brought from his cell to the hos
pital ward of the prison to meet her.
Thaw received the courts decision
philosophically, and said he had no
doubt the commission would declare
him sane man.
The personnel of the commission
named by Justice Fitzgerald lends
new distinction to this already notable
case. The men who Will determine
Thaw's mental capacity are: Morgan
j. O'Brien, former justice OF the ap-
pellate division Of The supreme court;
Peter B. Olney, former district attor-
ney of New York county and lawyer
of high legal attainments; Leopold
Put2ei, a practicing physician and an
authority on mental disorders. The
justice said IL would rest with the
commission as to whether or not its
hearings shall be public. The decision
of the three men named to conduct the
inquiry will guide the future action of
the court as to ordering Thaw to an
asylum for the insane or directing that
the trial that has been interrupted
shall proceed.
In announcing his decision TO ap.
point commission, Justice Fitzgerald
issued a written memorandum which
he had prepared for the minutes of
the court, He based his decision on
the conflict OF affidavits as presented
by the opposing sides, saying they
were too diametrically at odds to per
NIT of decision other than in favor
Of an impartial inquiry.

Toulon, France, March 13.-Aa q

a2ines on board the battleship lena,
Captain Adigard, commander of the
battleship; Captain Vertiez, chief of
staff of the Mediterranean squadron,
and from TO to so bluejackets are
dead, while Rear Admiral Manceron
and hundreds of other men are suffer
ing from injuries, some of them hor-
rible in their extent. Naval circles
are aghast, and the public is stunned
by the appalling catastrophe
The explosion came without warn
ing. The first shock was extremely
violent and shook the vessel fore and
other shocks. The crew was thrown
into panic. They rushed wildly
about the deck. The men forward, who
had been attending the lecture, clam
bered over the bulwarks and jumped
down, some to the dock and others to
the stone quay, many sustaining fatal
injuries The hundreds of men below
deck were in fearful position. They
We're enshrouded in smoke and while
they groped their way toward the
exits they became the prey of suffo-
eating fumes. Charges Of explosives
in the magazines continued to explode,
and masses of metal We're hurled into
the air to fall anywhere about the
decks and the arsenal. These flying
missiles demolished the torpedo shed,
the engine works and pumphouse
near by,
The entire after part of the lena
was blown to pieces The bodies of
the victims We're hurled through the
air by succession of explosions, and
panic-stricken workmen at the arsenal
fled from the vicinity OF the drydock
for their lives. Scores of those on
board the lena jumped overheard on
the stone quays and sustained serious
injuries. There are $50 wounded in
hospitals or in their homes At the
time of the explosion there We're 26
officers and $50 men on board the
warship.
The lena had just undergone final
inspection OF her hull aud machinery,
the latter having been completely
overhauled preparatory to joining the
squadron. The crew had finished
their midday meal only aashort time
before the explosion and had dis
persed to various parts OF the vessel
Most OF the men We're engaged in
work connected with the approaching
departure OF the warship, but quite
large party had been detailed to at
tend a lecture that was being given
forward
1t is declared that for 30 minutes
the authorities We're unable to dis
cover the keys with which to open
the locks to flood the drydock and
submerge the ship, but when they did
finally open the locks the water
rushed in and the explosions came to
an end.
The primary cause of the accident
was the explosion OF a torpedo, What
caused the explosion is not known,
but the powder magazines OF the lena
We're set on fire, and their contents in
ploding practically destroyed what
was considered one of the best vessels
in the French navy.

Thaw sent ont a statement from the
Tombs in which he said Everything
is perfectly satisfactory to me. am
sure | will be able to satisfy the COM
mission that | am sane at the present
time. Anything Justice Fitzgerald
does is all right. He has always acted
in fair and impartial manner"
Lawyers to Be Present.
The Thaw lunacy commission will
be attended by District Attorney Je-
rome. The lawyers for the defendant
will also be present, ana the commits
sion may direct and compel the at
tendance of any witnesses it may de-
sire. 1t is probable that ThaW will be
asked first OF all to submit to rigid
physical examination. Having under
gone several of these since his incar
ceration, he is somewhat nervous on
this subject, but it was said by his
counsel that he would do anything in
his power to aid the commission with
its work and that he hoped for an
early opinion as to his sanity
Thaw's lawyers and the defendant
himself were downcast when they
were first made acquainted with JUS
tice Fitzgerald's decision, but all were
manifestly pleased when the later an
nouncement as to the personnel of the
commission of lunacy was made. Mr.
De.mas il particular declared that
Justice Fitzgerald could hardly have
selected a more generally satisfactory
commission, one whose decision would
command more confidence and re-
spect District Attorney Jerome
seemed pleased with the result of the
dramatic appeal he made last week to
the conscience of the court, asking an
interruption of the trial on the ground
that the defendant was in such men
tai state that he could not intelligently
confer with and advise his counsel
and did not understand the nature of
the proceedings against him.
The Thaw jury was ordered on last
Friday to report before Justice Fitz-
gerald this morning at 10:30 o'clock.
AT that hour there was brief court
procedure, the jury being excused in
definitely.
