SICKNESS NTfRvENfS
IN Tilt THAW CASE
The Illness of the Wife Of Juror May
Make an Indefinite Postponement of
The Trial Necessary.

New York, Feb. 13.-The Thaw trial
today was limited to an afternoon ses-
sion of less than two hours duration,
the morning being abandoned because
OF the illness of the wife of Juror Jos.
B. Bolton. The Juror was allowed to
visit his home in the company OF two
other jurors and two court officials.
He found his wife suffering from dou-
BILE pneumonia, and two physicians GER
titled that her condition was very ser
ious. Bolton returned to the jury panel
in time for the afternoon session. Juror
Bolton this afternoon appeared dis
tracted, apparently taking little inter-
est in the proceedings. II Mrs. Boil
toms condition should continue so criti-
cal her husband cannot be expected to
give proper consideration to his duties
there may be an indefinitt postpone
ment, all the jurors meanwhile remain
ing locked up or possibly there may be
a mistrial
DR.. Britton D. Evans, superintendent
Of the Werner Plains asylum gave the
only testimony today. He concluded
the direct examination and Jerome re-
served the right to cross examine the
expert later. John Deemar of Kittan-
ing. Pa, was recalled just before ad-
journment and was asked to state what
he knew of the mental condition of
John Ross, a first cousin OF Harry
Thaw. Jerome objected to the ques-
| tion on the ground that the relation
ship was too remote to permit draw
ing deductions as to hereditary insan-
| ity. Both questions and witness were
withdrawn temporarily.
DR.. Evans today detailed the results
of his various examinations and physi-
cal tests in his visits to the defendant
He declared that there was a depres-
sion in the back of Thaw's head Of a
most unusual character but he was un-
able TO state its significance. Evans
said Thaw's pulse action was the most
extraordinary he had ever noted. The
pulse would change its beat four times
within a minute, the variance being
/ from 1 to 4 beats. The pulse indicated
he said, that a sympathetic nervous
system was seriously at fault. Evans
| declared that he found no excessive
drug habits or Of tremors characters
tic Of excessive indulgence in intoxi-
cants.
! AS a result of the conference between
counsel before adjournment Attorney
Jerome said Thaw's attorneys had
/ turned the will of the defendant over
to him for examination before It should
again be formally offered in evidence.
Jerome said he might or might not Of
\ fer further objection 70 ii. He did not
wish to take up the time by reading ii
4 in court.
Counsel agreed that Jerome should
have the privilege Of talking freely
with DIR. Deemar. and Dr. Benjamin
Thaw. the family physician about GER
tain testimony they have to offer
Jerome said II he knew the nature of
/ this testimony he might not have to
occupy so much time and crowd the
record with technical objections. To-
morrow Delmas will offer the will in
evidence. If accepted it will be read 10
the jury. If not accepted. by the con-
sent of the district attorney there will
likely be an extended argument. Fol-
lowing the disposition of the will Mrs.
| Thaw will resume the stand.

FOUR NEGLECTED TO APPEAR
(By the Associated Press. }

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The
Mayor Taylor were to assume office
at the meeting of the supervisorial
board this afternoon, when the tif-
teen remaining members of the old
board, to whom immunity contracts
were given by the bribery-graft
prosecution were to submit their
designations for immediate accept
ance. But the program temporarily
fell through on account of the alb
sence of four of the fifteen.
Supervisors Coleman, Coffey, Da-
Wis and McGushin did not present
themselves at the board rooms in
answer to notifications from Attor-
ney Langdon, and after a wait of
nearly four hours, the meeting was
abandoned until 9 o'clock tonight.
The other eleven incumbents-
Furrey, Gallagher, Harrigan. Kelly,
Lonegran, Manlock, Nicholas, Phil
lips, Rea, Sanderson and Walsh
signed each the following typewrit-
ten designations presented by Mr..
Langdon:
Il hereby resign from the office
of supervisor of the city and county
of San Francisco, and as a member
of the board of supervisors of said
city and county; this resignation to
take effect upon presentation to the
clerk of the said board of super
visOrs."
Kelly was the only one of the
eleven who made any resistance to
this final waving of the "big stick. .
He had had difficulty with news

he assaulted for a published structure
upon himself In the afternoon he
came to the board rooms under the
influence of liquor and declared him
self He said he was perfectly will
ling to resign, but he did not propose
to sign resignation written by any
body else. He produced long, type
written resignation, which began
with the assertion that he never
committed a wrong in his life and
closed with the announcement that
he thereby resigned under threats
and intimidation.
Kelly shouted: There, men.
wrote that all myself, and it's the
only one I'll sign"
William j. Burns. the detective
chief of the prosecution, took the
boisterous supervisor to one side and
made a quiet talk to him. When
this was over, Kelly put his resigna-
ton in his pocket and signed the
carbon-copied form drawn up by the
district attorney.
instruction were given to Ser
geant-at-Arms Burke, and several OF
Burns men to ''scour the city for

them, they will be on hand with their

INTO CAUSE
OF COLUMBIA WRECK
IRONCLAD SCHEDULES COMPEL,
SPEED UNSAFE IN HEAVY
WEATHER.
(By the Associated Press. }

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The
responsibility of the Companies
which, by ironclad schedules, COM
pei their masters of ships to go at a
speed that their consciences tell
them is unsafe was the feature of
the Columbia wreck investigation be-
fore Captain Birmingham today.
Second Officer Agerup's report es-
tablished more clearly than has been
done before, the fact that captains
are compelled to run their ships at
full speed along dangerous coast
in foggy weather and to a course
navigated by many vessels.
rs 1t the usual practice on this
coast to go full speed?" asked Cap
tain Birmingham.
THE captain always slowed up
when he heard steamer ahead. .
was the answer
A question as to whether it was
necessary to go at full speed in or
der to make the schedule, elected
the statement that there was GER
tain time allowed for the round trip
of the coast steamers and that it was
to get in on the tide and avoid de-
lay.
Did the ship never slow up un-
less there was a steamer ahead?"
81 can't recollect that we ever did.
1t might be once in a great while.
perhaps, especially in very bad
weather. said Agerup.
Attorney George A. Knight, coun-
sci for the company, then took the
witness and after getting the state
ment from Agerup that he had been
with Captain Doran for six years,
asked him:
did you ever hear the captain say
that you must push the steamer
ahead at any cost?'
mo, SIR" said the witness.
Odd you ever hear him say that
he must make certain time?"
mo, sir"
Although Knight succeeded in es-
tablishing the fact that the captain
never gave the order mentioned,
knight made no effort to shake the
testimony that dangerous runs were
made to keep the vessel on its sched-
ule and that the rules of the compa-
ny were reasons for them.

CRAZY MAN THROWS
SWITCH; WRECKS TRAIN
DEMENTED SHEEPHERDER DE
RAILS GREAT NORTHERN
PASSENGER.


\ BUTTE, Mont, July pa spe-
cal to the Miner from Great Falls
says:
Because he imagined the Al
mighty ordered him to do SO,
crazed sheepherder, whose name
cannot be learned, derailed passen-
ger train No. 3 on the Great North
ern at Toledo station, seven miles
east of Havre, Sunday morning,
causing the death of the fireman and
slightly injuring a number of pas
sengerS.
The train was proceeding at rate
of 80 miles an hour when. within 30
yards of the switchstand, in front
of the Toledo depot. the engineer
saw a man throw the switch. the
light changing from white to red. He
instantly applied the airbrakes, but
in moment the engine, mail and
baggage cars and smoker were a
mass of twisted and broken wreck
age. The fireman was so terribly
scalded that he died about ten min
utes after being released. The en-
gineer, mail clerk and baggage mas
ter escaped with but few bruises.
When the passengers issued from
the cars remaining on the track they
found a demented sheep herder sit
ting beside the switchstand calmly
surveying the wreck. He volunteered
the information that he had wrecked
the train that God Almighty told
me to do it." The fellow was about
35 years of age, and apparently had
been working on a sheep ranch. He
was sent back to Havre on the relief
train and is now in Jail at that place

FEDERAL GRAND JURY
WILL INVESTIGATE
PROMINENT MEN OF COLORADO
MIXED UP IN ALLEGED LAND
FRAUDS.
(Ry the Associated Press. }

DENVER, July 29.-The News
today prints a story to the effect
that the federal graund jury will be
asked to Investigate the methods of
land company which, it is alleged,
fraudulently secured a long time
lease on coal lands in Routt county,
Colo, and separately sold 100000
worth of stock, mostly in Hamilton,
York, Seward, Clay, Fillmore and
Saline counties. Nebraska, which
stock, it is alleged, was disposed of
by Misrepresentation. According to
the News considerable of the money
paid by Nebraskans for the stock has
since been returned to the purchas-
ers by persons connected with the
land company who, after discovering
the alleged fraudulent character of
the company-they, themselves, be-
ing innocent of any wrong-made
restitution because they felt that it
was their connection with the con-
Germ that induced many to buy
stock. 1t is claimed by the News
that an eX-president, former sec
retary of agriculture, leading rail-
road lawyer of Nebraska and a we'll
known banker of that state, are in
volved in the exposition, though in
nocent of any wrong doing. In ad-
dition to these, two prominent poll
ticians of Colorado, one formerly
holding state Office, and several 9TH
ers are mixed up in the affair and
are said to be responsible for the al
legged fraudulent acts. The lease to
the land held by the company was
recently cancelled by the state land
board of Colorado, but the United
States government is interested, ac-
cording to the News, by reason of
the fact that all of the land is lieu
land, transferred to the state by the
national government on the claim
that it was non-mineral bearing. The
claim is that gross misrepresenta-
tions and fraud were used in effect
ing the exchange.

DEATH SPARED Him
NEWS OF TRAGEDY
MAJOR HUNTINGTON PASSED
AWAY, NOT KNOWING OF HIS
SONS TERRIBLE ACT.
(By the Associated Press. }

VERSAILLES, France. July 20
The death of the aged American
soldier, and an attempt at self-de-
struction on the part of his son Hen
ry, who shot his sisters and brothers
on Sunday in the last hours of his
dying father, impaired additional
sadness today to the shocking trag-
edy in the home of Major Henry A.
Huntington, which has caused SEN
sation in the American colony and
diplomatic circles of France.
Major Huntington died this even
ing shortly after the news was given
out of his son Henry's unsuccessful
attempt at suicide, but the father
was spared the anguish of the
knowledge of both this incident and
the terrible crime which shattered
his household, as he was uncon-
scious to the end.
The prostrated wife, his daughter
Edith and his son Douglas. whose
slight wounds permitted them to pay
the last honors to the dying man,
were present when the end came.
According to the police, Henry at
tempted suicide in his cell with silk
handkerchief, which he tied around
his neck and fastened to the bars,
seeking to strangle himself slowly by
means of a tourniquet. The jailer
who had been instructed to watch
the prisoner closely, detected the act
in time to prevent serious results,
and 1t was announced that Henry
had not succeeded in injuring him.
self
The swift sequence of tragic in
cidents in the Huntington family
which is one of the best known here
has cast sadness over the commu-
nifty.
The French judicial authorities
feel that the investigation will bring
out the exact situation in the Hunt
ington villa, which antedated the
shooting.
On the subject of just what oc-
Cured on the night of the tragedy
there is a conflict between the story
of the Huntington family and the
statement of Henry's wife, but both
agree that the man was carried away
by passion which unbalanced his
mind.
The condition of AlonzO, who was
shot in the head, and Elizabeth, who
WAS SLOt Ill tuC IC6ioh VI shC AiSo' -
Is serious tonight. AlonZo, it is be-
lieved, will do we'll, as he Is receiv-
ing the best of medical attention al
his home. The other two were not
seriously hurt and they were able to-
night to be with their mother, who
is prostrated by the horror of events
which eliminated in the death OF
her husband.
No direct message from the prfs-
oner has come from the Jail except
letter sent to the manager of the
hotel, where Henry's wife is staying
praying him to send Information as
to the condition of the members OF
his family.
Huntington's wife has made pub
lie an account of things she says her
husband told her before he was
locked up, in which he declared he
had lost his head during words with
his brother and sisters. 1t is as
serted that a complete rupture had
come up between Henry and his fam:
lily on account of the treatment ac-
corded Henry's wife by his family.
The hotel manager asserts that
Huntington told him his brothers
had attacked him, and thrusting him
toward the corridor. tried to put him
out of the house. He pulled his re-
volver and began firing.
