TAFT LEADERS DISAPPOINTED.
They Fail to Line UP Gen. Beatty and
Daugherty.
Specisl Dispatch to The Star


COLUMBUS Ohio. April 1.-Disappoint-
ment is apparent on the part of the Taft
leaders because of their failure to line up
Cen John Beatty against Senator Foraker
Gen. Beatty has not liked Foraker since the
latter defeated him fer the republican NOM
nation for governor many years ago, and
has rarely failed to improve an opportu-
nifty to say something derogatory to the
senator For this reason the Taft leaders
made sure of him in this controversy. but
in an interview here today Gen. Beatty said
he did not think Taft would prove strong
with the people.
THE people" said he. will be sure to
resent the open efforts OF the President to
name his own successor
The Taft leaders have also so far failed
to secure Harry NJ. Daugherty as a coad
tutor. Daugherty was an attorney for Rep
resentative Burton in his fight against the
two senators last year, and for this rea
son he was counted on to take off his coat
now and enter the anti Foraker fight at
once but in an interview here yesterday
he evinced an inclination to "shy" at the
Taft movement. Il must decline to take
any decisive action for the present. said
he. II will claim the privilege of resting
where l am. at least until the rest of the
procession comes w. | seem to have taken
ground too far in advance last fall"
Mr.. Burton as a leader of the people
proved failure last year, as Mr. Daugh-
erty sees it. and he hesitates to march I'M
der the banner OF enc who has not given
even much evidence of the Qualities of
leadership as Mr. Burton has.

THAw HAS CHEERFUL EASTER.
Talks With His Wife of Being Free
Next Sunday,

NEW YORK. April 1-Easter Sunday
for Harry Thaw in the Tombs was made
| more cheerful for him by q visit from his
wife. to whom John " Coggey, commits
sioner of correction, had granted a special
permit to pass the afternoon with her hus-
band
When Mrs. Thaw left at o'clock, after
having been almost two hours with the
prisoner. she spoke to reporters for the first
time since the tragedy last June.
Harry grows more cheerful and satisfied
every day." she said. Like all the rest Of
US, he is perfectly confident that the lunacy
commission will find him sane and that the
trial will go on. He even talked Of being
could dine together
In reply to a question as to Thaw's hav-
ing dabbled recently in Wall street, Mrs
Thaw said, emphaticaily:
That's absurd. Harry hasn't been in the
| market for long time, and such transac-
lions as have been made for him were
closing out holdings he had before he was
arrested"
Mrs. Thaw was dressed in a modish suit
of brown and hat of the same shade, sur
mounted with long white ostrich plumes
The change in her appearance from that
she has presented In the court room-clad
in the childish suit OF blue-was marked.
Thaw attended the Easter service con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. Sanderson in the morn
during the day. He will consult with his

which convepes at 10 o'clock. 1t Is antic-
ipated that the commission will arrive at
decision with two more days Of testimony
before IT..
Mrs. Evelyn Thaw to Testify.
When Mrs. Evelyn Thaw made her daily
visit to her husband in the Tombs today
she was met by a process server who
handed her a subpoena, directing her to
appear before the lunacy commission to-
morrow. Mrs. Thaw apparently had not
anticipated this move. and she appeared
very much disturbed when the nature of
| the paper was made known to her. DO
they expect me to testify against my hus-
band? she asked. She was told that her
presence probably was desired merely as a
matter of routine. but this did not seem
to reassure her. District Attorney Jerome
declined to make known his purpose in
calling Mrs. Thaw before the commission.

DIRECTED AT BONILLA
HOSTILITY OF HoNDURANS NOT
AGAINST NICARAGUA.

President Bonilla of Honduras is still sur
rounded at Amapala. according to dis
patches received today by the State Depart
ment and his surrender is expected at any
time.
Dean r. Wood. the American consul at
Ceiba Honduras. who has just arrived III
Washington from Central America. was In
conference today with various State De-
partment officials concerning the war sit
uation In the Central American republics
Mr. Wood was In Ceiba when the Amer
lean gunboat Marietta landed troops there,
and says a warship was never more heart
fly welcomed anywhere.
Ceiba was i'm condition of extreme I'M
rest The Nicaraguans did not Hand any
troops there. but the revolutionary move

duras and the landing of more than l..Ho
Nicaraguans In Trujillo had caused great
excitement. and the American warshiD in
the harbor and the party OF blue jackets
sent to guard the American consulate and
preserve order in the city restored the con-
fidence of the panicStricken public.
Feeling Against Bonilla.
Puerto Cortez and Ceba were not taken
by the Nicarasuans, according to Mr..
Wood, but are In sympathy with the move
ment against Boniila, and ready to join
with any army which seeks MS overthrow"
The war is said by Mr.. Wood to be large

dent BonIia- and his advisers MIR. Wood
said the victories of the revolutionists, as
sisted by the Nicarasuans. are not re-
garded as engagements in war Of Mica
raguan conquest.
The Hondurans cher sh their independence.
he says and would lend their assistance
to any war which would result in ending
their republic. but the sentiment against
President Bonlla became so strong that
any means of effecting his overthrow was
heartily welcomed by his enemies.
Fighting With Foreigners. ,a
Mr.. Wood says the war on the north
coast of Honduras was conducted with
great fairness. The property of foreigners
was not molested. and the only loss which
foreign property owners have suffered so
far has come about through lack of labor.
due to the drafting of able-bodied men into
the army. When the Nicaraguans landed
their large force at Trujillo there were
orders against plundering. and the com
mandine officers paid for whatever supplies
were necessary for their forces.

STATUS OF THE CASE
# Commission Thinks Defendant il
Insane Trial Will Be Stopped.
JURORS WANT MORE MONEY
They Send Court q Petition Asking
for IS Day Instead
Of $2.

NEW YORK, April lit is probable
that the Thaw lunacy commission Will re-
port Thursday morning. The case was
adjourned last week until this morning,
and when the jury was called before the
court today Justice Fitzgerald again ad-
journed the trial until Thursday morning
at 1890 o'clock. The lunacy commission
will meet tomorrow, and 1t is expected that
it will be ready to report Thursday.
In case the commission finds that Thaw
is today insane within the meaning of the
law the trial will be stopped. but II 1t
finds that he is capable Of going on the
trial will be resumed at once.
The members of the Thaw jury have
drawn up a petition to Justice Fitzgerald
asking him to allow them s. day for
jury services instead Of the customary -
a day. Their action is based on an instance
in which the court made a similar increase
in the jury's allowance after the case had
been extended to an unusual length
Counting on Thaw's Sanity.
An important development in the court
proceedings against Thaw is the announce
meht today by counsel for the prisoner that
the Thaw side rests. so far as further tes-
timony by their side is concerned before
the lunacy commission. The defense be-
lieves this will help to bring this particular
hearing to close by Tuesday night. so that
the trial. delayed for more than week oy
the movement to determine ThaWs sanity
at the present time, can be Immediately re-
sumed. The defense assumes. of course,
that the commission will find that Thaw
is now sane. In fact. they are supremely
confident OF such an outcome, basing their
opinion the showing Thaw is said to
have made when questioned by the COM
mfSSlOnerS.
District Attorney Jerome does not share
the opinion OF the defense that the COM
mission will conclude its hearing ON Tues
day. and expressed the belief that several
days will elacse before the commission re-
ports Mr.. Jerome believes that the COM
mission will hear his alienists. and he
hores besides. that the testimony OF DR..
Allan McLane Hamilton will be admitted.
Offers No Witnesses.
Daniel O'Reilly of Thaw counsel made
the announcement that Thaw will stand on
his testimony before the commission and
that counsel will call no witnesses. He
said:
The defense will offer no more witnesses
know that Mr.. Jerome has the promise of
the commission to hear what his experts
have to say on the writings of Thaw on
the evidence adduced at the trial and on
the observations they have made during
the trial..
Mr.. OReiliy expressed the opinion that
DR.. Hamilton would not be allowed to tes-
whole matter would be ended Tuesday
