JEROME DEMANDS DELAY
IN ORDER TO STOP TRIAL

New York, April 4.-The finding OF
the Thaw lunacy commission was
couched in the language of the order
by Justice Fitzgerald when ordering
the inquiry. The commissioners de-
clared it to be their unanimous belief
that the defendant, Harry X. Thaw,
is capable of rightly understanding
his own position, of appreciating the
nature of the charges against him,
and OF nationally comforting with his
counsel at this time of his examina-
ton"
The entire report of the commission
covers three typewriter pages and
will not be made public.
District Attorney Jerome said that
If the court rules against his applica-
ton for access to the minutes of the
Thaw commission in lunacy, he will
ask time to decide whether he shall
apply to the appellate division for a
writ of prohibition to prevent the
trial from proceeding.
Fitzgerald discharged the jury until
Monday, declining to grant more time
for jerome to apply to the appellate
division for a writ of prohibition.

HARTMAN DENIES HE
WANTED THE SENATORSHIP

New York, April 4.-E. II. Harri-
man today made the following state
ment relative to the recent exchange
of correspondence between President
Roosevelt and himslf:
Il do not intend to continue this
controversy. Everybody knows thai
the contest for senatorship in 1904
was between Messrs. Black and De-
pew, and there could not possibly
have been any other candidate
There was no bargain by which
money was to be raised in consider
alton of having Depew appointed am
bassador to France and my being
made United States senator, and my
letter to Webster does not so state
That part of the agreement was for
the purpose of harmonizing the
Black-Depew forces. If it should be-
come necessary"

SAT UP ALL NIGHT AND
STILL COULD NOT AGREE.

When Justice Fitzgerald called the
Thaw jury into court at 1880 today,
the commission in lunacy appointed
TO inquire into the present condition
of the defendant had not been able to
agree upon a verdict. The jury was
excused until 9 o'clock, by which
time Justice Fitzgerald said he hoped
he would have something definite
before him. The commission sat until
o'clock this morning trying to
agree upon a verdict, but failed. 1t
went into session again in Justice
Fitzgerald's chambers at 1890 today.
Fitzgerald is very anxious to have a
unanimous report from the commits
sion, one way or the other, and it was
for this reason decided TO give them
more time.
