SAY IHAW
 WAS SANE Jerome Experts All Answer the Same Way the Hypothetical | Question
.DR HIRSCH'S ANSWER
Was Most Direct.-He laughed at ihe Idea of a Brain Storm and He Says That There is No
 Such Thing.

New York, March 15.--At the opening of the Thaw trial to-day Dis trict Attorney Jerome consented to a request from MT Delmas, of the de- fense, that he be allowed to defer the cross examination of Dr Austin Flint, who in answer to two hypo- thetical questions yesterday declared the opinion that Thaw, at the time he shot and killed Stanford White, was sane and knew the nature and quality of his act. Dr Flint acccrd- ingly was excused and Dr William Hirsch, of the Cornell Medical school, was called as the second of the six experts who are to testify for the state.
 Mir Jerome acquieescence to the re- quest of Mr Delmas was taken as in dication of a better. feeling between counsel than was displayed yesterday. This indication was strengthened later when MT Delmas offered no ob- lection to Dr Hirsch stating an opin- ion on the hypothetical question read yesterday without the necessity of re-reading the long documents. After pr Hirsch had qualified him. self as an expert Mir Jerome asked him to give his opinion on the hypo- thetical question which Mr Delmas put to the alienist for the defense.
 Was the person described in that question suffering from such mental derangement that he did not know the nature or quality of his act or that the act was wrong?" asked the prosecutor.
 He certainly was not" pr Hirsch gave the same answer as to the long Ter hypothetical question framed by the district attorney. Now, doctor,' said Mir Jerome, what is a brain storm!''
 There is no such thing as brain lstorm known among scientific men, came the repls.
 Doctors Pfitchard. Ferris, Diefen- dorf and Mahon all testified the same as Dr Flint. that Thaw was sane when he shot and killed White and that he knew he was doing wrong.
 Mrs Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was placed on the stand this afternoon to contradict Hummel's testimony. Dis trict Attorney Jerome objected to her giving further testimony on a point on which she had already testified. He was overruled and Mrs Thaw in answer to Delmas said that she went to Hummels office to consult With him as her attorney. Hummel was called by Jerome and he testified that Mrs Thaw had told him that Thaw had beaten her because she would not say that White had ruined her.

BRYAN GOES TO BOSTON.
Nebraskan Talks on Railroad Situs

Nebraskan Talks on Railroad Sftua-
 tion' and Conference.
 NEW YORK, March 15.-William J. Bryan, arrived here from the west, where he had been featuring. and left later for Boston to give lecture there. He was met by number of reporters to whom he talked freely of the rail. road situation.
 Mir. Bryan was first asked what he believed to be the significance of the conference of the railroad presidents at Washington with President Roose. welt. -a----- .-z-
 T do not know anything about the conference except what I have seen in the papers," he said. but it seems that the railroad presidents would pre-. fer congressional control to that of the various state legislatures. The state legislatures are nearer to the peo- pie and more responsive to public sen timent. The recent legislation shows this. So far the main effect of the rate bill passed by congress has been to prevent rebates, and while this is good for the business communities 1t is also good for the railroads, because 1t leaves in their treasuries the money they used to give to favored ship pers. The states have begun to reduce rates. which is of advantage to the entire public. and the railroads begin to talk of amending the federal con- stitution so as to protect them from state interference.
 This is not strange. but interesting. in that it furnishes an answer to those who have been suggesting that the doctrine of state rights is being used as a shield by the railroads to protect themselves from federal prosecution. The fact is that the big violators of the law always try to get their cases into the United States courts, and the big corporations are desiring national corporation that they may escape state legislation"

nation was so much against it that the project was postponed.
 No wonder France loved its cuir- assiers. They had great history. In every war of the patrie they cut a superb figure. and until they lowered their colors at Waterloo to the valor of the Scots Grays the world had come to believe them invincible.
 There are not many cuirassiers left in the worlds armies. The abolition of the 13 French regiments will leave three countries with this arm of the service - Russia. Germany and Italy.
 Germany has 12 regiments and Rus. sia four. but it Is altogether possible that the kaiser and czar will follow the lead of the French.
 Yet only a few hundred years ago the man in the cuirass was the ideal fighter.
 Before the deadly quick-firing rife and machine gun had come to deal out death as swiftly and surely as a barrel organ grinds out a tune the cuirass was sufficiently effective to turn aside bullets.
 It is a curious fact that at the same time that the cuirassiers are to pass out of existence there is also talk in England of abolishing the Scots Grays. the heroes who beat them
 The suggestion has been made in England and enthusiastically received that before the two. cuirassiers and srays. pass out of existence. it would ce a fitting and beautiful sentiment to Ie. them meet in reunion in Paris.
 The date proposed is July 1i. the French national holiday
 As a final reunion of brave mer. whose predecessors in the same resi- rents opposed each other in one of the greatest bsftlefelds of history, this would seem the most appropriate of all last acts in the warlike drama of cuirassiers and Greys

GREAT STEEPLECHASE
HORSE DESTROYED

NEW YORK. August 16. Thomas
Hitchcock, jr.'s famous steeplechaser.
Good and Plenty, has been shot. For sew
eral months the well-known jumper has
shown signs of weakness. During the
spring meeting at Belmont Park Good
and Plenty developed trouble in the near
hind leg. He was put into retirement for
a while and later sent into light training
again, when the old trouble reappeared.
and the examination of a veterinary sur
geon developed the fact that he would be
a permanent cripple. in addition to being
affected internally. Mr.. Hitchcock, when
assured the horse would never recover
ordered him shot to put him out of pain.
and on Saturday a bullet ended his exist
ence, and with it the most notable career
or any steeplechaSe horse on the Ameri-
can turf. Good and Plenty was buried in
plot of ground near the private race
course on the Hitchcock estate, near
Westbury. l.. l., and monument will
probably be erected over his grave.
Good and Plenty was the greatest tim
Der topper in America. He was bay
geldfng. seven years old, by Rossington-
Fannie, and during the four seasons he
raced he won more honors than any other
steeplechase horse. and almost equaled
the record of the great Sysonby He first
appeared in the jumping list at the Brigh-
ton Beach track In 1904 when he finished
second to Walter Cleary in steeplechase
race. He won the next seven starts and
finished second in his ninth start. winding
up the season with a victory. In all he
started ten times and was first IN eight
races, winning, among other events. the
Champion and Westbury steeplechases.
In 1905 he was reserved for two of the
big SteeplechaSe events of the year. the
New York and Whitney Memorial steeple-
chases at Belmont Park. and won them
both. In the following year Good and
Plenty started four times, and was first
three times and unplaced once. He was
easily the best steeplechase horse in
training. and won the Grand National and
Whitney Memorial steeplechases His
third victory was in a handicap steeple-
chase. He ran unplaced in handicap
fiat race at a mile and a furlong at Bel
mont Park.

SPEAKS FOR OPEN SUNDAY.
Chicago University Professor Would
Also Have Municipal Theater.

CHICAGO, August 16..Charles Zueblin
of the University of Chicago. a professor Of
sociology, yesterday advocated an open
Chicago Sunday, with municipal beer gar
dens and city operated theaters for tho
masses. This was in an interview with a
reporter. in which he elaborated lecture
he had delivered on The State and Re-
ligion" in Mande Hall.
CLOSING things up on Sunday Is not
best" he said. "It is too late to dictate to
others what they shall do. Sunday should
be a beautiful day. Work people must have
something to do for an outlet for their en-
ergies. The saloons as they are at present
should be abolished and In their stead
there might be municipality owned beer gar
dens conducted on respectable lines. There
, both serious plays and frivolous comedies
and farces could be presented. While
have no objection to the endowed theaters.
I don't think they are a success. Theaters
could be run by the state as they are In
Europe where they are success.
SHOULD the saloons be closed on sun
days?" the professor was asked.
~ did not touch upon that subject in my
lecture" he replied. THE saloons as they
exist In Chicago today are bad because OF
their vicious influences. They should be
abolished altogether and in their stead
there could be municipal beer gardens.
where families and those who indulge IN
drink could go Sundays If they wish, sim
liar to those which are at present conduct
ed in Germany"
