SION IN LUNACY is UNANl-
NOUS.

New York, April 5.--The Thaw luna
~ commission completed its work
last night and will report to Justice

and physical examination for more
than two hours yesterday afternoon.
In this last crucial test he was alone
before the commission, even the dis
trict attorney and his own counsel be-
ing barred. When the three members
If the commission had completed their
examination, they shook hands with
Thaw in a most cordial manner. He
went back to his cell in the Tombs
with light heart and declared later
that he felt the commission would
surely declare him sane.
Thaw Declared Sane.
New York, April 6. - Harry X.
Thaw yesterday was declared sane ''y
the unanimous report of the commits
sion in lunacy. The moment the de-
cision was handed down from Justice
Fitzgerald's desk District Attorney
Jerome was on his feet vigorously pro-
testing against its confirmation by
the court. He charged that he had
been excluded from the last session of
the commission, and demanded to he
allowed to have access to the minutes
and stenographic notes of what trans
pired at the final mental and physical
examination of the defendant.
Will Try to Stop Trial.
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the district
attorney Mr.. Jerome declared he
would carry the case to the appellate
division of the supreme court, asking
that a writ of prohibition or manda-
mus be granted TO prevent continu-
ance of the Thaw trial until the high
er court had ruled upon the legality
of the commissions course.
The news Of the commissions unan-
imous verdict as to his present sanity
was carried to Thaw in the prisoners
cell at the penitentiary. He express
ed satisfaction, but not surprise. He
declared that he felt especially lucky
because it was the second anniversary
of his marriage.
Trial viii Proceed.
New York, April T. - The trial OF
Harry X. Thaw will proceed on Mon
day morning, when Dolphin NJ. Del
mas, the leading counsel for the de-
Tense, will begin his summing up adj
dress to the jury. District Attorney
Jerome decided late yesterday not to
apply to the appellate division of the
supreme court for a whit OF prohibit
ton or mandamus to halt the trial.
He reached this decision, 1t was said,
after consultation with eminent
counsel. Mr.. Jerome may argue brief
ly Monday morning against the con-
firmation Of the report of the lunacy
commission which declared Thaw to
be sane, but he is aware that Justice
FitZgerald's disposition is to confirm
the report, which was unanimous.
When Justice Fitzgerald Thursday
declined to grant the district attorney
access to the minutes Of the lunacy
commission Mr.. Jerome threatened to
carry the matter to the appellate di-
vision on the ground that he had, been
excluded from the final examination
of Thaw by the commission.

"FINANciERs" WRECKED ROAD.
Gov. peneen Secures Opinion From
Attorney General on Alton Deal.

Springfield, ILL.,, April 9.-That Gov
Deneen is planning to second the &C,
lions OF President Roosevelt in refer.
ence to K. Fl. Hartman and others OF
the railroad kings is evidenced in an
opinion handed TO Gov. Deneen yes
terday by Attorney General Stead.
The opinion treats OF the manipula
lions OF the Chicago Il Alton railroad
properties within the last few years
by Hartman and some of his financial
associates.
Remedy Exists.
Attorney General Stead declares
there is not the least doubht that a
civil remedy exists against the "finan.
ciers' who have wrecked this prosper.
Gus railroad company and, at the ex,
pense of innocent stockholders and
bondholders, have gathered to them
selves : harvest of millions of dol
lars.
Mr.. Stead is doubtful. however
whether ii is the province of the State
Of Illinois to enforce the remedy. The
revocation of the company's charter
which apparently would be the natu
raj procedure on the part Of the state
would bring most of the suffering
upon innocent stockholders, Hartman
and his Wall street associates having
already unloaded large part of their
holdings.
Up to Company.
Mr.. Stead inclines to the belief that
the remedy lies with the company it
self or, in the event of its refusal to
act, with some one or more of ito
| stockholders.
This conclusion, however, is not
final, for the attorney general specir
cally states that If he should become
satisfied upon further investigation
that an effective remedy can be en-
forced by the state he will not hest
tate to institute proceedings.
