NO BRAIN STORM
FROM WIFE'S STORY

New York, March lin the
Tnaw trial today Jerome called as
the first witnesses Frederick W.
Longfellow, former counsel for Tnaw
Jerome revealed his intention to
overthrow Thaw's insanity defense
almost at the beginning of the ex-
animation of Longfellow. He argued
that he proposed to show that the
tales Evelyn Thaw told of other girls
being wronged by White, could not
have upset his mind. because he had
known of the cases recited by Evelyn
before he heard her statement. He
declared her story could not have
'caused the "brainstorm" which led to
Whites death. In spite of objections
by Delmas he got the facts before
the jury, which he could not have
brought out on the stand.

Strict Inspection Under Com
merce and Labor Bureau
Examination Papers to BE Subject to
Strict Scrutiny by Assistant
Inspectors.
BEGIN ON EXCURSION BOATS

Washington, d. c., March IL
Plans are being made out in the de-
lpartment of commerce and labor for
Igreatly increasing the efficiency OF
tine steamboat Inspection service.
Secretary Straus states that he is
gradually getting the machinery in
Operation, an important start being
his announced intention of shifting
assistat inspectors of bulls AMI of
boilers from one district to another.
and by ordering an inspection of the
Examination papers of steamboat
men licensed by the government in
the last four or FIVE years, with a
view of revoking the licenses of in
icompetent an undesirable men.
This step follows closely the order
for three additional inspectors of ex-
cursion and ferryboats each season.
Many men now licensed by the
government may lose their heads as
result of the order as there is rea-
son to believe that local boards of
examination have granted licenses to
men with undue leniency. Should
any irregularity or any exercise of
kindness of heart on the part OF the
examiners be shown, prompt recon-
lamentations will be made for the re-
vocation of the licenses.
The inspection of examlnation pa
pers will be made this summer by
Mr.. Uhler, supervising inspector-gen-
eral of the service. He will visit the
forty-four cities in which there are
located examining boards, and go
carefully over the records. He be-
Ilieves he will be able to weed out
some unfit men and induce examin-
ing boards to be more strict in the
performance of their duties.
None of the assistant inspectors
are dismissed, and emphasis placed
on the fact that the assistant in
Ispectors shifted are not under sus-
Iplcion of improper conduct.
Until the last congress it was i'm
possible for the government to take
such wholesale shifting as just effect
ed, but the ffty-1inth congress en-
acted a law which made it permissi-
bile. At present the inspectors can
not be shifted, and it is probable
that Secretary Straus, as result of
what may be unearthed by his action,
will recommend to congress at its
next session the granting of authority
TO shift inspectors.
The assistant inspectors will begin
work at once on the inspection of
excursion ard ferryboats under the
order just issued by the department,
providing for three re-inspections or
examinations in the season OF SER
vice. AS there are only about one
hundred assistant inspectors and
nearly twenty-five thousand vessels
to be examined, they will be kept
buster in the coming season than
they have ever been before.
This re-inspection is a direct re-
suit OF the General Slocum disaster.
