Began by Picking Hubby's Pockets.

A photographer was urging Charles
Frohman to sit for his photograph for
the Easter number of magazine but
this, as usual, Mr. Frohman refused
to do The photographer, a fluent,
persuasive chap, advanced reason
after reason why the other should
break his rule and sit.
''Those reasons sound WE'LL" Mr..
Frohman said, "but behind them /

motive lurking. 1t is like the harrow

LEAVES NO SOUVENIRS.
Kaiser Carries Away All Sketches He
~ Makes at Sculptor's.

Berlin, April S.-The kaiser dislikes
the souvenir hunter and always checks
his rapacity if he can, as he showed
the other day when he visited the
studio of Herr Heinrich Baucke, the
sculptor who made the statue of Will
liam III which the kaiser is presenting
to the English nation. In the course
of explaining his views he made some
sketches of the statue with all the
details of costume. Before leaving the
studio, however, he carefully collected
all his sketches and notes and took
them away with him, explaining to
the artist that he was afraid they
might fall into the hands of some
souvenir fiend.

THE LAWYERS BARRED TODAY
TWO EXPERTS WERE HEARD
THIS MORNING AND THE CON-
MISSION THEN WENT INTO Elk
EcuTIvE SESSION TO EXAMINE
THAW.

New York, April 3.-After hearing
for the state and one for the defense,
the commission which lis inquiring into
the present mental condition of Harry
X Thaw, went into executive session
physical examination of the defendant
Even the lawyers on both sides were
barred from this last sitting, the COM
mission intimating that after the mass
of contradictory expert testimony
placed before it the members believed
they would get all the information
they required from Thaw himself,
The commission expects to report it's
conclusions to Justice Fitzgerald to-
morrow, at which time the trial will
proceed or an order will be issued
committing Thaw to WATERMAN.
When the commission went into ses-
sion today District Attorney Jerome
called to the witness stand DIR. Allen
Ross Diefendorf, superintendent of the
state hospital for insane at Middle-
town, Conn, and professor of mental
and nervous diseases at Yale univer-
sity. DR.. Dlefendorf testified for the
state at the trial of Thaw, declaring
the defendant knew the nature and
quality of his act when he shot and
killed Stanford White, and knew the
act was wrong. To the commission
today the alienist declared that from
what he had seen of Thaw and the
writings he had examined, he was of
the opinion that Thaw is not now cap
able of rightly understanding his own
position or approaching the nature of
the charge against him or of nationally
advising his counsel.

Hartman Regarded as a Hermit.

Louisville Courier Journal: Mr.. HAIR
riman has given an opinion to the
effect that the gauge of the railroads
of the country will have to be in
creased to six feet before they viii be
in position to do the transportation
required in satisfactory way. The
late convention of railroad engineers
at Chicago distinctly refused to give
it's attention to such problem. 1t
was, indeed, mentioned, but it was
not discussed. An officer of the con-
vention said it dealt with practical
problems, not with impossible theo-
ries." BY giving no further attention
to the subject the convention in effect
relegated Mr.. Harriman's suggestion
to the domain of impossible theories.

Wisconsin Grain & Stock Co. Comment
Wheat Comment-Higher Liverpool
and small receipts gave us strong
and higher opening in the wheat mar
kets today. Trade, although not large
was of a good character and prices
have held strong throughout the ses-
sion. A Kansas City telegram said:
Seventeen counties in Missouri report
damage. from the green bug 1t is
estimated thatv about 20 per cent of
the crop has been damaged by the
pest. We believe the present market
to be very good scalping affair, but
on fair decline would be inclined to
favor the long side for long pull
Stock Comment-London came a
tride lower this morning, and our
market opened somewhat easier with
selling pressure which was quickly
discounted by good commission house
buying and a report from the bull
clique in New York Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Reading were the market
leaders Some of the best New York
houses are advising their customers to
purchase these stocks. Money was
easy, foreign news of good character
and the general outlook generally OPP
timistic.

TAX SYSTEM DEFECTIVE
SAYS TEXAS GOVERNOR
Declaring Present System Utterly
Bad He Demands Remedial
Legislation at Once.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 16.-Governor
T. NJ. Campbell, who was inaugurated
yesterday, today sent his first message
TO the Texas legislature. He gives
much of the introductory paragraph
to an eulogy of the Democratic party
platform and to urging that the plat
form demands contained therein
should be enacted into law. Among
the platform demands are planks con-
demning free passes on the railways
of the state, nepotism In public office
and one requiring that telephone and
telegraph companies shall exchange
wire service to facilitate business.
The governor devotes considerable
space to the subject of revenue and
taxation He says that In the midst
Of the present unexampied prosperity
there is Il deficit in the state treasury
which VIII soon reach million dol
lars. He declares that the present
system Of taxation encourages the tax
dodger and also encourages official
rarelessness. The governor recon-
mends the enactment of such laws as
viii remedy these evils. AS TO the as
sessment Of railroad property the gov
erpor says that the present system
presents probably greater inconsist- I
ancies than that pertaining to any
lther class Of property and he de-
nands remedial legislation at once.

II Is estimated that 1000 persons have
been killed by the earthquake and fire
and that 10000 persons are homeless.
The damage to Kingston alone is
placed at fully $10,000,000.
Adyices received from Jamaica de-
clare that all people have been warned
to keep away from Kingston. The
stencil is described as awful Money

burned, but the vaults are supposed
to be safe. The misery on all sides
is undescribable, Rich and poor alike
are homeless. Provisions of all kinds
are urgently needed. 1t is impossible
to say where anybody can be found.
Sir James Ferguson, vice chairman
of the Royal Mail Steamship com
pany, is among the killed. The dead
are being buried under smouldering
ruins. The mercantile community suf-
fered most severely, warehouses fall

are dead or injured. The negroes are

SENATOR CARMACK HEARTILY
SUPPORTS THE president

Washington. Jan. t6.--Addressins
the senate today upon the Brownsville
affray, Senator Carmack announced
that he heartily supported the presi-
dent in his action discharging the me-
gro soldiers. The action of the legis-
lature OF this state, taking the same
position met his personal views.
Mr.. Carmack then paid his respects
TO the president as follows:
Il think It proper to say that any
report that senators may have heard
that the president personally solicited
my support in this matter. that he
urged me TO forgive and forget certain
energetic personal remarks and begged
me To stand between him and those
twin enemies of his administra ton, the
senator's from South Carolina. and
Ohio, Is gross exaggeration. / Will
not say that II Is an Infamous false
hood because such language belongs
to the vocabulary of presidential con-
rather than senatorial debate.
Seriously, | suppose there is no sem
ator always with the exception OF my
friend from South Carolina (Mr. Till-
mani who Is less likely than myself
to be suspected Of executive partlality
for our present chief executive.

~ perhaps may in this case. II seems
o me that he has acted with remark
bic freedom from impulse. with un-
isually careful dellberation and wifi
n effort TO do nothing more nor less
han completes Justice to all con-
erned"
Quoting the resolutions of a Boston
@eo meeting justifying the action OF
hc negro troops, Mr.. Carmack said
10 more damaging indictment OF
ace could be secured than this one,
fritten by himself.
He then turned his attention to Sem
tor Foraker's criticism Of Major
llocksom which he said was due to
he fact that "his father was a demo-
rat" He declared that the senator
rom Ohio may be God Almighty 10

''If the senator from Ohio could con-

EVERY HOUSE IN STRICKEN
TOWN RAZED BY EARTHQUAKES IL

London, Jan. IA dispatch re-
ceived here late this afternoon says;
! Kingston was overwhelmed by an
earthquake Monday at $3.50 O'Clock
Monday afternoon All the houses
/ within a radius of ten miles We're
damaged and almost every house in
the city was destroyed. Fire broke
out after the earthquake and com
pleted the work of destruction. The
business section of Kingston is a heap
of smoldering ashes. The killed NUM-
Der about 400 and thousands of peo-
pie were injured. Churches, offices
and public buildings and hotels are
gone. The Myrtle Springs hotel was
destroyed but it is said that none of
the guests were killed. Among the
killed were Sir James Ferguson and
many prominent merchants and pro-
fessional men.
The conflicting character of the
news which has thus far reached Lon
don renders it difficult to estimate the
extent of the calamity caused by the
earthquake and the subsequent con-
Migration. Messages received by the
various steamship and cable COM
panies, however, indicate, that while
the earlier reports of the disaster and
the great loss of life were probably
exaggerated, the disaster was still of
the gravest character. The ruin and

No estimate of the loss of life has

visitation, no less than forty soldiers
being killed there. There were iso-
lated fatalities among the white resi-
dents OF Kingston, but the negroes,
who comprise 80 per cent Of the pop
ulation, appear to have been the
greatest sufferers, and the number of
white victims is apparently small in
