ienists employed by District Attorney
Jerome in the Thaw case today sign
Justice Fitzgerald in argument this
afternoon for the appointment of a
commission in lunacy to examine
Harry K Thaw Six of the alienists
in their affidavfts declare that Thaw
was suffering from a form of para
aoia, that he should not be discharg-
ed from custody, that if he should
be discharged he would be dangerous
to the public peace and safety, and
that it is reasonably certain that he
will not recover. The seventh alien
ist agrees with his colleagues, except
that he declares that Thaw cannot
possibly recover. The document in
cludes an affidavit by Irving S. Cobb
a reporter. describing a note given to
him a few weeks ago by Thaw, in
which Thaw commented upon his
wife's testimony and upon the con-
duct of the prosecution. The affidav-
its are signed by Doctors Flint, Ma
hon Macdonald, Pritchard, Ferris,
Hirsch and Diefandorf.

condition Thaw wanted his counsel
to assure him that he would be al
lowed to attend the hearing in court
this afternoon, but Mr.. Peabody did
not promise MIN the desired permis-
sion. Thaws counsel were all said to
be of the opinion that he ought not
hear the arguments. Thaw's wife and
his sister, the Countess of Yarmouth,
also visited him today and remained
with him for an hour.
John B. Gleason, of counsel for
Thaw, said today that Mr.. Delmas
was responsible if a commission in
lunacy was appointed, as it was he
who called DIR. Allan McLa1e Hamil-
ton to the witness stand and told
Mr. Jerome to go ahead and ask the
witness anything he wished to. Mr..
Delmas said he would gladly assume
all responsibility

GREAT YACHT RACING
CONTEST THIS SUMMER

Norfolk Va, Mar. 21.-An event
in which the greatest interest will
center, is the yacht racing at the
jamestown Ter-Centennial. Five cups
have been offered for these races and
they will attract the largest fleet of
sailing vessels ever gotten together
for any event il the history of yacht
ing. The offer of any one of the five
would have aroused much interest
and the proffer of so many, illustrates
the magnitude of the undertaking.
These cups are offered by King
Edward of England, Emperor VIII
helm of Germany. President Roose-
welt, Sir Thomas Upton and the James
town Exposition Company The ogE-
cial announcement has just been -e-
ceived by cablegram of the offer of a
golden trophy cup by King Edward
and the event has been promptly sch
eduled The Kings cup is offered for
twenty-five foot class, the class of
small boats that has aroused Keener
interest than any other in the racing
lists of the past few years. This is
known as class o." In the contest
for this cup, Canadian cups will take
a hand and the Fife ship yards of Scot
land, and the Alfred Mylne yards of
England are each building a boat for
this event and two are being construc
built In Scotland and England have
an interesting significance since it
will be the first essay of English de-
sig7ers at turning out boats to the
American rule, which win probably oh

Advices from Germany state that
at least two boats are being built in
that country for the jamestown Expo

Jewish Immigrants to Go West.

Galveston, Tex, March 21.-As the
first step toward diverting Jewish i'm
migrants from eastern ports to Gal
weston, the Jewish Immigrants 'Infor-
nation bureau has established an Of
fee and lodging house here and is pre-
pairing to entertain the newcomers
temporarily until they can be sent
to their destinations. The first steam

President Roosevelt's cup will be
for competition in the twe1ty-seven
and thirty-three foot classes OF sloops
and yawls This is known as Class
P and is a popular class. German and
Canadian boats may also enter the
contest for this cup, and IN this they
will have strong compeuuon from
New York boats which are mainly OF
the twenty-seven and thirty-three foot
classes.
The Sir Thomas Upton cup is Of
fered for smaller boats, the fifteen and
eighteen foot classes, and it is expect
ed to build up size yacht that has
been little developed in the last three
or four years. The jamestown Expo
sition cup is a free-for-an for boats
under forty feet racing length contest
ing without time allowance, to give
a chance to those designs which do
not fit the present rule very well.
The only class unprovided for in
these special cup races are the big
sloops and it is likely that sucn a
trophy will be offered to them to
race in one class with full time al
lowances, forty-foot and over to be
eligible. Besides these, races will be
offered for all classes of boats from
Glass "a" down, for schooners sloops,
cutters and yawls, so that no boat go
ing to the Exposition need fail of an
opportunity to race. All races are
to be under the rules the Atlantic
Coast Conference and all are to be
under the universal rule of measure
ments.
Invitations have been extended to
the yacht-men of every country in the
world and assurances have been re-
ceived that there will be representa-
ton of foreign clubs in keeping with
the Importance of the contests. Sir
Thomas Upton has shown much inter
est in the event and will visit the
Exposition races, at Gravesend Bay,
Long Island Sound, Massachusetts,
Bay, the New England Coast. the Mid
Great Lakes.
Hampton Roads with its tributar-
les. offers a splendid course for yacht
racing and it is planned that the
smaller classes shall cruise over the
inside course which includes the
Chesapeake Bay, AID the larger class

reached through the gateway to the

A LITTLE
HOT AIR

New York. Mar 21.-E. H. Harri-
man, in an interview published to-
day, replies to statements credited to
john d. Rockefeller, in which the
latter declared against over-capitaliza
tion of railroad and other corpora
tions aid in favor of government con-
troll of railroads. Mr.. Hartman was
asked what he thought of Mr.. Rock
efeller's statement that there should
be Federal control of railroads. and
replied: There is Federal control
now That arm of government to
which is delegated power of supervis-
ing railroads is equipped with enor-
nous responsibility. There are laws
enough on the statute books now
more than enough. All that is neces-
saTy is to have them judiciously and
wisely administered. There is no
need for supplemental supervision
When Mr. Hartman was asked if
ne thought the railroads were over
capitalized. he replied: No. you must
remember this is wonderful cou1-
try. 1t has been made by the enthus-
iasm of immigration and the specula-
tive bent of a superbly capable peo-
pie, magnificent pioneers. The rail-
roads saw into the future and adapt
ed their work to the possibilities.
There is yet much to be developed
in this country. Towns are growing
like magic, and the people toiling
like the gelii of Aladdin's lamp. The
roads are not overcapftalized for the
country and its capabilities. Take
any road Say the Pennsylvania-you
have been over it. Did you ever no

talizatiol, think of the money that
has gone into the abandoned lines,
bridges and terminals. They must be
considered a part of the constructive
cost, and when you take it in you
will find that they are not over-capi-
talized. Now. take the dividend mat
ter: There are not a great many
roads in the country paying six per
cent dividends. Look at the matter in
this light. The man who takes pre-

says that in retaliation for the action
of the state legislatures in providing
for two cent fares and the public agi-
tation against them, the railroads of
the West have served notice upon
the Interstate Commerce Commission
of an increase in freight rates on
grain and coal. This will result in a
test of the constitutiolality of the
new rate law. The railroads will en-
deavor to show that they are now
unable to carry these commodities at
the rates now prevailing, and that
an increase is necessary.

that the opening of the reservations

inducement is being offered to the

more keenly alive to this than the
