JURORS NOW BELIEVE
THAT THAW IS SANE
One Says Every Man in the
Box Thinks Prisoner Is
of Sound Mind
RELATIVES IN COURT
Justice Fitzgerald Postpones
Trial While Considering
Lunacy Commission
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

NEW YORK, March 25.-There is
not man on the jury who does not
think Thaw is sane at the present
time"
This was the assertion made in the
hearing of two acquaintances by a
member of the jury that is trying
Thaw, and in common with his eleven
associates has been studying Thaw'
appearance and demeanor from the
vantage point of the jury-box in the
last two months.
In the rooms of the Sycamore Club
in West One Hundred and Twenty fifth
street the conversation occurred that
ELECTED this interesting statement
In the District Attorneys office there
is feeling of confidence that the court
will appoint a commission in iuflacy
1t is pointed that that three of the
physicians retained by the defense have
failed to join the other experts in af-
fidavits of Thaw's sanity.
In anticipation of some action on the
part of Justice Fitzgerald regarding the
appointment of a commission for Thaw
District Attorney Jerome and all of
the counsel for the defense We're pres
ent in the court this morning at IL
o'clock, which hour Justice F'itz-
gerald had fixed for notifying the law
yers in case he should desire further
evidence or an argument.
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw went down
town alone and entered the court
building unaocompanied. Mrs. Will
liam Thaw and her two daughters, the
Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. George
L. Carnegie, arrived together, and Ed
ward Thaw appeared soon afterward.
There was a long wait for Justice
Fitzgerald, who did not arrive until
o'clock in the afternoon. During this
time the women members of the Thaw
family had not returned to their hotels.
When Justice Fitzgerald resumed his
bench he went through the formality
of having the court session adjourned
until Wednesday morning. The JUS
tice made no announcement whatever
TO the attorneys. the ceremonies in
court occupying less than two minutes.
If Justice Fitzgerald decides to ap
point a commission he will probably
first excuse the jurors indefinitely, in
forming them that they will be duly
notified when their presence is again
desired. Then after the jury retires he
will formally announce the appoint
ment OF a commission. If the Judge
decides not to appoint commission
he may make no other announcement
than to direct that the trial proceed.

.ROUMAN|ANS BLAME

Government Holds They
Are Not of Anti Jewish

Houses and Attack

TROOPS ARE ENGAGED

LONDON. March 25.-That the Rou-
manian Government considers the re-
cent trouble in Moldavia and wallachia
a result of similar disturbances in the
adjacent provinces of Russia and not of
an anti-Jewish character is evident
from a communication given out today
by Premier Cantacuzene and teIe-
graphed today from Bucharest to Lon
don. The Premier says:
The grave troubles which have broken out in
Roumania do not arise from any anti-Semitic
Feeling. They are Of a well-dehned agrarian
character. The peasants are devastating not
only the houses and farms of Jewish farmers.
but those of Roumanian landed propretors. Ii
is undeniable that these sad occurrences are a
result Of conditions now prevailing in Russia,
which borders on Roumania
The Government is taking energetic measures
10 restore order and IL hopes that by active
be suppressed. Immediately thereafter the
Government win introduce measures for neces-
sary agrarian farms
BUCHAREST. March 25.-That the
revolted peasants OF RoumanIa are at
least temporarily beyond control of the
Government forces in the field is amply
evidenced by stories OF pillaging and
incendiarism coming in from all parts
Of Moldavia and Wallachia. There have
been several serious conflicts between
peasants and troops in the district OF
Vaslui, where 1000 peasants armed with
rifles and revolvers attacked company
Of soldiers. Troops fired several vol
leys, killing forty persons and wound
ing large numbers, but the peasants so
greatly outnumbered them that they
were Obliged to retreat.
At the village of Teleoraman in the
Alexandria district, Wallachian peas
ants attacked the synagogue and
burned forty houses.
The army reserve men are fraterniz-
ing with the marauders and participa-
ting in the work of plumber.

SOME EXPERIENCES,

In a chat with Mr.. r. McEwan yes.
terday some interesting facts were
brought to light Of the early days in
Astoria. Mr. McEwan first came east
to Oregon City with an OK team and
D few head OF cattle and horses. When
he first visited Astoria in 1850 he found
here Hudson Bay Post on the spot
where Mr.. Van Dusen's house now
stands. Behind il there was o boarding
house run by David Ingalls, an old Eng
lish sea eaptain-who did not however
have many boarders. OF people who
fave since been well known in the city
he met, at that time, Mr.. Mcclure and
Billy Weleh That same year Of 1850
Mr.. MeEwan started to organize Pacific
County in Washington and Clatsop
County in Oregon under the old Terri
torial administration.
In his second trip from the east which
was made in 1853 he encountered more
trouble. He had in the first place more
stock with him, and secondly the In
dians, who had become more used to
white people and, less afraid of them,
we're much more in evidence, and more
annoying. However. Mr.. McEwan and
his retinue came safely through without
great deal OF difficulty. 1t is re-
markable coincidence that the two trips
each took eactly five months to a day.
They were made from the Missouri Riv-
er to Oregon City. Mr.. McEwan was
well acuainted with Ezra Meeker in the
CID days. 1t will be remembered that
Mr.. Meeker recently went back east
over the old Oregon trail with an OK
team. Mr.. McEwan is a Nova Scotian
BY birth but he came here from the
Missouri.
