WITH A RUSH

CHICAGO, April 2.-The battle Of ral-
lots, which today ends the bitter con-
test between Mayor Edward F. Dunno
and Postmaster Fred a. Busse, for the
office of mayor. started today with a
rush. When the voting places are
closed it IS expected that nearly 400, COO
persons viii have voted.
Busse and his friends claim he VIII
= elected by 1900 votes. Dunno is
more modest in his claims. He figures
that $500 viii represent his plurality.
Aside from voting for mayor for
the new term Of four years. the citizens
Of Chicago are also casting ballots to
day in the hope of settling the traction
question, which has been before them
for so many years. On this issue Busse
and the traction interests are on one
side. and Dunno Is on the other The

President Roosevelt this afternoon
gave the lie to the assertions made

letters which the President wrote

In one of thees letters, the Presi-
dent said:

NEWSPAPER ASKS
FOR PHOTOGRAPH
Of MRS. NORMAN
Shows T hat Contest
Here Is Being Eagerly
Watched in Other
Cities.

In a special telegram to The Sun
day Times today, the Chicago Tri-
bune, the paper which is champion
ing Della Carson, of Chicago, as the
most beautiful woman in the United
States, asks that it be furnished
with photographs of Mrs. Stanton
r. Norman. the second weekly win
ner Of the beauty contest Of The
Sunday Times.
This is but an Indication of the
closeness with which the awards in
Washington are being watched by
the other cities in the beauty quest.
1t is a demonstration of the fact
that Washington, famed far and wide
for the beauty Of its women, is
feared by all the other contestants
in this competition for the crown of
superlative loveliness.
Sent to Other Newspapers.
The Tribune win send copies of the
photographs OF Mrs Norman and Miss
Mae BuclIler, the first weekly winner. TO
practically ali the other cities of this
country. and to Montreal, Canada.
where the beauty of Canada is being
sought.
Nowhere else in the United States
have the people responded 50 efficiently
and 50 numerOusly TO the call for pho
tographs OF beauties as they have done
IN Washington. This is a fact that dis
proves conclusively the oft-heard COM
plant that Washington has no civic
pride. That much of the eo-operatfon
which The Sunday Times is receiving in
the hunt for beauty comes as the result
OF civic pride cannot be doubted
Pictures From All Glasses.
The character OF the photographs re-
ceived by the Beauty Editor Is proof OF
this. Among those already in his office
are pictures of the wives of bank presi-
dents, diplomats, real estate men. law
yers, and physicians, and photographs
of leaders Of society, artists, and that
great class. the women who work; Gov
ernment clerks. teachers IN the schools.
saleswomen, stenographers, and ac-
countants.
OF all this, the result is that the
Peauty Editor of The Sunday Times be-
Eeves ne can now boast that the coIlec-
uOn Of beauties in his office Is superior
70 any similar collection in the country.

Tough Job, With Inter
fering Owner, and Dis
gruntled Team.
Drove Chick to Suicide,
What'Il 1t Do to
Jake?
By THOMAS S. RICE.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 2.-As L
predicted in The Times of yesterday,
the object of the visit of Manager
Joe Cantillon to Chicago, while the
team was playing in Springfield, was
to arrange a deal with President Tay-
Ior, of the Boston Americans,
whereby Jake Stahl is to take
charge Of that club in place of Chick
Stahl, whose suicide last week
startled ball players everywhere.
There is not man on the Wash
ington team who does not want TO
see Stahl succeed in Boston, and the
same is true of the sporting writer's
and fans, but it is hard to see how
he can get along any better there
than he did in the National Capital.
Hard Row to Hoe.
The conditions Of his start in Boston
are very much like those of his start
as manager in Washington three years
ago. he has a tail-end team, hard to
manage and thoroughly discouraged.
Behind him Is an obtrusive and not ex-
perienced owner who viii hardly let
him have a free hand or more than
nominal authority, any more than he
had IN Washington. He viii have an
uphill and almost thankless struggle,
in which every failure viii be condemn
ed and success only sparingfy praised,
for ii viii be practically impossible for
Boston to make any great showing this
year,
Chick Stahl complained bitterly before
his death, according 10 the newspaper
stories. that his position as manager
with Boston carried no authority such
conditions make discipline almost i'm
possible and make the job unbearabIe
for any man who is not a mere ami
mated callOsity. caring for nothing as
long as he gets his money. Jake Stahl
is even more sensitive and high-strung
than Chick was, and what may have
driven one man to suicide might easily
result in the wrecking Of another.
Knocks From Fading Stars.
There are 8 number Of old players in
the Boston ranks who feel that their
time is limited. and are sore on them
selves for that reason It can easily
be imagined the embarrassments they
will throw in the way of a young man
ager who starts with the record Of hav-
ing been q failure in another city. These
fading stars are sure to overlook no
opportunity to hand out knocks and
Eneers for the man who has been placed
over their head, and will go all the
stronger II he is not given the authori-
" to suspend them or FIRE them off the
team at the first sign OF insubordina-
lion
Year before last in Washington. wor-
rying about the failure OF his team 10
advance ana his own weak batting so
preyed on Jake StahIs mind that ais
health broke down, and he had to go
TO Atlantic City for two weeks for a
complete rest. He viii be fortunate,
with the Boston Club on his hands, ii
he does not have 10 go further.

LUNACY BOARD
AGAIN HOLDS
OPEN SESSION

NEW YORK, April 2.-Dr. Allan
McLane Hamilton said ThaW is sui
ferimg from chronic deIusiOnal in
sanity, known as paranOia.
NEW YORK, April "A hard fight
over the admission OF expert testimony
to show that Harry Thaw is insane at
present was expected when the luuacy
commission which is now examining the
slayer OF Stanford White resumed its
hearing today. Acting on the promise
of the commissioners made on Saturday
TO allow the alienlsts to testify as to
what they observed Of Thaw in court
his letters and the testimony they
heard. Jerome was prepared 10 fight
hard 10 broaden this inquiry and eOrce
upon the commissioners the views of
his experts that Thaw is an incUable
paranoiac. and for this reason should
not be on trial for his life.
Thaw's lawyers, on the other hand.
were just as determined to prevent such
an examination of the alienists. if pos
sible. The previous ruling of the board
favored the Thaw lawyers.
Evelyn Thaw in Court.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was at the court
house early, in obedience to the sub
pOena served on her yesterday by Je-
rome calling her as u witness in the in
sanity proceedings. Just why Jerome
wanted 70 question her as to Thaw's al
legged insanity no one understood
I can only do what l did when /
was on the stand before-tell the truth. -
Evelyn said, tearfully, when asked if
she believed Jerome wished To Traxa
her a witness to prove Harry insane.
And when I tell the truth it viii show
the commissioners that Harry is sane
as anybody
Thaws lawyers declared Evelyn, if
witness. They felt that the board would
limit any examination of her TO events
since the killing.
Will Call No Witnesses.
Thaw's attorneys today stood by their
original declaration that they will sum
mon no more witnesses before the COM
mission. They believe Thaw's examina-
tion convinced the board of mis- sanity.
About the courthouse it was felt the
insanity proceedings would be wound I'D
tomorrow ar the latest. and the board 5
report dled in time 10 allow Justice F'itz-
gerald either TO order the trial TO con
tinue or discharge the jurors. when they
meet al 1880 Thursday morning, in ac-
coraance with the finding OF the exam
iners. That the report viii favor Thaw
is the common view today.
DR.. Francis Mcclure, physician at the
Tombs. was called to the stand shortly
after Thaw was brought over from the
Tombs- The prisoner nodded to his wife
