ment on this subject she takes Up the
subject Of insanity among members Of
the COpiey family, to which she be-
longs. She asserts that Josiah, referred
to by Jerome, was an exceptionally
bright student in college. His Grafton
at the close Of his course at Amherst
College, she swears, so impressed the
faculty with its eruditlon that they de-
cided to allow him unlimited time. The
result was that at its close an attack

Of nearly seventy, in vigorous health.

Thaw Denies Smiths Story.
Thaw asserts Smiths story of how he
watched the defendant cannot be true.
On the first night of the performance
the garden was decorated with shrubs
and palms. He remembered walking
about among these bushes in a way
which would absolutely have prevented
anyone constantly keeping him in view,
IS Smith swore he did. Thaw told the
alienist he never saw White until just
as he was leaving the garden, Then
the duel on the stage attracted his at

4ion he saw the monster" as he de-
scribed the architect. The tragedy fol-
lowed.
Lawyer Gleason, in his affidavit,
brings out a new point which shows
why Thaw attorneys have opposed a
commission. He asserts he is conf.
dent d commission must find Thaw
sane, and expresses a fear that such
4 decision might prejudice the jury TO
believe Thaw was likewise sane on the
night OF the killing.
AfndaYitS Aid IhaW's Case.
All in all, the afidavits and Thaw's

statements against him IS shown by
The fact that he would not today dis
cuss the defense's answer. He ad-

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Wnen
Jimmy Britt saw Joe Thomas sprawling
on the mat last Monday he remarked
that while the native son combination
had been broken, the short-enders were
again in evidence and that on MONDAY
afternoon next it will be another case
of the favorite being bowled over and
that a native son will be the champion
OF the world. There is no more conti-
dent fighter in the world today tnan
James Edward He figures that Cans Is
far easier to defeat than Nelson.
This is not hot air talk with Britt.
He really thinks that he will trim the
ebony champion and that it will not be
decision verdict, but clean, decisive
knockout victory. Immediately after the
last Nelson fight, Willis Britt remarked
that it would be advisable to go on the
road and clean UP a little easy money
before tackling Cans.
Jimmy went up into the air like a
rocket when Willis made this suggestion
and said that he wanted Cans right now.
Sign up with Cans right away, Willis,
said Jimmy. ''I want to get him when
am in such grand condition l can
whip that coon and do it decisively. Now,
[
sible, sign him up for Admission day.
Brother Willis followed his advice and
Jimmy is going to fulfill his predictions
IL confidence condition and aggressive
ness count for anything.

training He was out on the road bright
and early yesterday morning, hiking 1t
all the way to the breakers at the ocean
CIV a nd
then down to the Olympic club on Post
street, where he took plunge and
good rundown After the return from
Colma he went to the Olympic club gym
and worked out for half hour. He GER
tainly is in perfect fettle and Cans is
going to have the toughest fight of his
career.
Britt intends to keep right on top of
him every second and stay inside of his
choppy rights and lefts, never permitting
him to get set for any of his famous
wallops Britt looks for Joe to curl up
under the ripping body punches that he
will whip in under his guard
Cans practically finished his hard work
Sunday and will simply do enough road
work and inside exercising to remain
close to the 133-pound notch. After do
ing his road stunt this morning he tipped

dinarily large and from present indica-
tions all records for fights will be

Brick Devereaux is handling the re-
served seats on the Oakland side of the

AUTOMOBILES READY TO
RACE TO BIG HORN MINE
White Steamer and EImore Will Be
Contestants, in Run September
15-Others to Make Trial
independently

Preparations are being made for the
coming race to the Big Horn mine on
Old Badly, which is to be run September
is between the White Steamer piloted by
F. C. Fenner and the Elmore by Mr..
Smith, the coast agent for that machine.
Already several runs to the mine have
been made by the contestants, who re-
port the roads in bad condition and the
fords difficult. There is more water In
the streams this year than last and this
will add to the difficulty of the race.
For some time the race was held open
to other contestants who would put up
the required $1,000, but other dealers
seemed to regard the struggle as per-
sonal matter between the Elmore and the
White and no other entries were received.
Last year a number of machines made
the run. 1t is more than likely several ma
chimes will make the run this year in
dependently, just to see what time they
can make.
