Dr.. Britton D. Evans, superintendent
Of the New Jersey state hospital for

to continue his direct examination. The
witness was asked to detail the CONVEX

that Thaw was of unsound mind at the
time of the doctors first three visits

Mr.. Jerome had withdrawn his objec-

A recess was taken until 2 p. M, and
the juror, still accompanied by two Of
his associates and two court officers,
hurried to the little home in the Bronx,
where Mrs. Bolton was being kept alive
only by the use of oxygen. She died
soon after her husbands arrival
Juror Bolton is 81 years of age and
is a clerk. When court again convened
at 2:25 p. M, there had been a confer

reached to release the remaining jurors
from further confinement. In taking
this action Justice Fitzgerald took pains

Kaulbars, against whom formidable
Indictment is framed, saddling upon his
shoulders practically the entire respon-
sihility for the crushing defeat at Muk-
den. Kuropatlin's reasons for the fail
ure of the war are based chiefly on
comparison Of warlike spirit Of. the Jap
anese, their preparedness and va1or,
which he says had never been seen in
any previous war, and their ability to
maintain the numerical superiority nee
essary to assume the offensive, with the
disadvantages of Russia, owing to in
adequacy of a single track railway from
Europe, in feeding her fighting strength,
with commanding officers disobeying
orders, and in the hopeless state of CON
fusion and cross purposes, with a low
state of morals and confidence among
the troops and the continuous news
from home of internal troubles and of
insults and reproacles against the army.
The general closes his survey of the
cause of defeat of the Russians with a
pathetic reflection that if Russia had
been uited and ready to make the sacri-
fees necessar yto safeguard her dignity
and integrity, the valiant Russian
army would have striven till the foe
was subdued" y. ~

Only fifty Of the temperance advo-

support to arguments against the sale
of liquor. Repeatedly the crusaders

&rl1ittee which was appointed to inquire
into the Great Northern ore lands deal,
transaction BY which the railroad COM
pany recently transferred its holdings
to the Oliver Mining company, began
its hearings today, President James j.
Hill being on the witness stand.
Representative Miller, acting as the
examiner, attempted to secure an adj
mission from Hill that the Lake
Superior company, which company held
title to tie ore lands, was organized for
the purpose Of defeating the law which
prohibits railroads from dealing in
stocks Of any other corp Grafton. In this
he was not entirely successful, Mr., Hill
contending that the Lake Superior COM
pany was organized primarily for the
purpose Of undertaking matters Of bust
ness which the railroad company could
not handle and to conduct transactions
in way that would be TO the best in
