such Il plea. His weighing of the facts
i'll the case would be an Intellectual
process he told District Attorney Je-

ThaW appeared confident as he arose
to fac" each Of the two jurors While

in which his attorneys continued to
dwell upon the subject of insanity in
their examination of various talesmen
seemed to indicate beyond all reason
able doubt that q plea Of temporary

fence. will eventually be entered. In
developing this claim that Thaw was
insane ut the time of the tragedy the

oner believe will influence the sympa-
thy Of the men who may have an I'M

There is much speculation as 20
what course Mr.. Jerome will pursue
when Thaw's counsel begins to devcl-
90 their plea o. temporary insanity.
He is prepared to combat their alien

may bring the proceedings to an
abrupt halt and apply for the appoint

cr or not the defendant is insane at

he advocated Il plan whereby manu-
facturerS might, under certain condi-
tons. import raw material for their
factories without the payment of duty.
Secretary Shaw suggested that it
would be we'll to do away with the
bonded factory and to substitute for it
Il bonded zone of large area, within
which Il large number OF factories
would be built. Into this zone, articles
for exports would be manufactured,
he would allow free coal and every
other element of manufac ture. except
labor, to be entered. Should. however.
the product of these zone factories he
removed for the purpose OF domestic
consumption, Secretary Shaw said that
it would pay the same duty as il I'M
ported from abroad. He said that
there should be such a zone on the
north Atlantic coast. one at Norfolk
Va, and another at the gulf.
Secretary Shaw pointed out in this
connection that under the present
system of drawback to the American
exporters of merchandise made wholly
or in part from imported material. il
is sometimes impossible to identify the
imported material in a manufactured
article. Under the present law there
must he proof of the existence of such
imported material before the manufac-
turcr can secure 4 drawback on the
duty paid BY him.
Secretary Shaw, speaking Of the
merchant marine. said that unless this
country finds a market for its surplus
of manufactured articles it will wait in
vain for subsidized foreign ships to
come to our ports after them.

i'll Congress authorized the following
statement:
The California delegation has had a
very full and harmonious discussion with
the President, the secretary of state and
the secretary of the navy on the serious
question relating to the japanese OF the
Pacific coast. The character of the dis
cussion leads us to feel confident that

all concerned.
The result of the meeting is that the
delegation has tonight telegraphed t.
the president of the San Francisco Board
Of Education and the superintendent of
schools to come 10 Washington at once
for conference with the President and

The existing treaty between the United
States and Japan will expire March Il
this year. President Roosevelt has as
sured the members of Congress from
California that he would endeavor %
form a new treaty with the Japanese
and at the same time prove satisfactory
to the Toxic government. The Califor-
mans have in the past insisted on an ex-
cluSion act to bar Japanese coolies ouL
Of the United States, but it is limited to
night that as result Of the conference
at the White House Senator's Perkins
and Flint and the members of the House
of Representatives from that state have
practically agreed to waive this demand
and leave it to President Roosevelt to
negotiate new convention which will
keep japanese coolie labor out of this
country. Japan has made it clear thar
she will only consider 4 treaty that is
mutual and what concessions this govern
ment has been asked to make have not
been made public.
1t is admitted at the Japanese embassy
tonight that Eiscount Aoki, the japanese
ambassador, has discussed the proposed
treaty with the President and that they
are in perfect accord. The second secre-
tary of the embassy, Mr. Hanihara. re-
fused to say what concessions had been
promised by this government, or rs to

tanned in the statement of the California
