New York. April 1S.-It become
known today that Dr. Smith Ely Jel-
life, one of the alienists who testified
for the defense in the recent trial of
Harry X. Thaw. spent tive hours with
Thaw in his cell in the Tombs last
night. A. r. Peabody. of Thaw's coun-
sci. was present during the interview,
but neither he nor DR.. JelIiffe would
say anything today. Thaw had re-
manned in bed yesterday morning until
O'Clock and only chose to see his
counsel when Warden Flynn suggested
to him that if he were i'll he might go
TO the hospital ward. 1t was said at
the prison that MIR. Peabody had sum-
mOned DR.. Jelliffe to attend Thaw be-
cause DR.. Mcclure, the regular Tombs
physician, is suffering from a slight
attack of tonsilitis.
Roger O'Mara, the former Pittsburg
chief of police, who has had charge of
the detective work of the defense, came
to New York today i'm response to
request from Thaw. He will have
talk with the prisoner before returning
to Pittsburg.
Still Up in the Air.
1t became definitely known today
that the question of counsel for Harry
Thaw has not been permanently set
tied. The publication of a letter sent
by Thaw to Hartridge and Peabody
yesterday, i'm which he informed that
firm that they would continue as coun-
sci of record, was generally accepted a
disposing of that phase of the case. for
the present at least.
Today, however, Clifford W. Hart
ridge gave out q statement in which he
said the suppOsitiOn that he is senior
counsel was absolutely Unwarranted.
He said that at the present time there
is no senior counsel in the Thaw case.
This statement was given out at
Thaw's request, it T. said, after heat
ed interview in the Tombs between the
prisoner, Mr.. Peabody and Daniel
O'Reilly.

OVER 100000 MEN ARE OUT

Paris. May 31.-French commerce Is
threatened with complete paralysis as
result Of the general strike of sailors
belonging to the naval reserve, which
went into operation at daylight at all
the ports of France. The naval re-
serves comprise almost the entire
maritime population devoted to sea-
faring life. They number about Ill.,
900 men, Of whom $4,000 belong to- the
war feet. Practically the entire per-
sonnel Of the merchant marine as well
as the longshoremen are inscribed in
the naval reserve. The executive
committee of the National seamen's
union ordered the strike because the
members of the union regard the gov
ernment's new bill increasing pensions
from $40.80 to $72.5O in the case of
seamen and from $156 to 5000 in the
case Of captains as being inadequate.
The reports thus far received indi-

order to insure mail service between
France and her African possessions,
but the transportation companies we're
taken by surprise and are at the
mercy of the strikers. Generally the
companies are in position to coerce
the men, as, being members Of the
naval reserve, the crews are subject
to heavy penalties for subordination,
but it is regarded as more likely that
they will try to effect compromise.

Body Found in a cistern.

The body of Mrs. Wallin, who disap-
peared last November and efforts to
locate whom have proved unavailing,
was found in a cistern in the rear of
the Merchants hotel at Lidgerwood.
Mrs. Wallin was the wife of a farmer
living ten miles south Of I4idgerwood
and had been in Minneapolis for medi.
cal treatment. She suddenly developed
mental trouble and was placed on a
train and sent home. Just as the
train reached Lidgerwood the woman
sprang from it and ran. There was a
blizzard raging at the time, and 1t is
supposed that the unfortunate woman
was going to the hotel to seek shelter
from the storm and in the darkness
fell into the cistern and was drowned.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS

State Supreme Court Declares the
Temperance Commissioners Law
Observation-Disclosures Of
Hana.ai..lana. Ahnliahad
Commissioner Abolished.

The state of North Dakota has no
temperance commissioner, as the SUI
preme court declared the temperance
commissioner law unconstitutional.
The decision followed as another
chapter in the E. G. Patterson case at
Bismarck. Patterson was held to bail
on four charges for alleged violation
Of the prohibition law. A grand jury
was called and Judge Corliss Of Grand
Forks was employed by the county
commissioners to assist the states at
torney in the presentation Of the cases
before the grand jury. Judge Win
chester of the district court forbade
Corliss to appear before the grand
Jury on the ground that the statute
provided that the states attorney only
should be admitted to the grand jury
room. Judge Corliss deliberately vio-
lated this order of the court for the
purpose Of making test case before
the supreme court. He was construc-
lively placed in jail. Then he sued
out writ Of habeas corpus, claiming
the right to go before the grand Jury
on three counts; first because he was
assistant states attorney under ap-
pointment; second, because Of his en-
ployment by the county commission
ers, and, third, because he had been
appointed as deputy temperance COM
missioner under the new law which
gives the commissioner and his deputy
all the powers Of states attorneys. AS
sistant United States District Attor-
ney B. D. Townsend, who is appearing
for E. G. Patterson, entered the case
in opposition to the contention Of
Judge Corliss, and made an attack on
the constitutionality of the temperance
commissioner law, holding that the
legislature could not delegate to an
appointive officer the rights which
have been delegated by the constitu-
tion to the elected servants Of the peo-
pie. It was on this ground that the
supreme court held the law uncon-
stitutional. The decision will be
grievious disappointment to the ardent
Prohibitionists throughout the state
and will abolish the Office crested by
the last legislature and held by George
Murray Of Sherbrooke.
