College Hazing.

A man who is ffty-eight years old,
has rheumatism in his left leg and no
hair on the top of his head, can hardly
see what pleasure there is to be ex-
tracted from such rough house play as
hazIng.
With a boy it is different. Having
q few surplus quarts of animal spirits
to work off it seems to him like the
rarest sport on earth to paint green
stripes on a fellow mortal and stand
him on his ear to dry.
The professors may sit in imposing
conclave around q table, with their
spectacles nicely adjusted and solemn
ly abolish hazing, but the chances for
it to stay abolished more than day
and half are not good.
In plain United States the boy is a
savage, and the harder you make 1t
for him the more pure joy he will find
in working at that trade.

HEIRS WANT ALL THE ESTATE
Would Set Aside a Will Giving to a
Church-StOry That Has
No RaSe

Kokono, Ind, Feb. 6.-An interest
Ing will case is on trial here. Sever
al years ago George ". Deffenbaugh
and Louis Deffenbaugh, brothers,
agreed to give a certain portion Of
their property to the New Jerusalem
church. Louis died and George then
drew a will setting aside for the
church real estate and Improvements
worth several thousand dollars, George
to act as one of the trustees of the
church during his life.
At his death the church naturally
claimed the real estate, but collateral
heirs have contested the probating of
the will on the ground that the tesla
tor was insane at the time he signed
the document. A story is in circula-
ton. and has been telegraphed, that
George w. Deffenbaugh has said that
his spirit should be elected a trustee
of the church. There Is no founda-
ton whatever for such story

THAT STRAIN OF INSANITY
Testimony Is Ruled Out in a Couple OF
Cases.

Have you ever examined this de
PENDANT with any Of the recognized
tests Of insanity?" asked Jerome. NO"
replied the witness.
Have you ever conversed with
him?' mo"
The district attorney then drew from
the alienist the opinion that Thaw'e
acts in the Madison Square Roof gar
den when he killed Stanford White
were not acts of insanity when taken
singly, but constituted evidence of in
sanity when considered collectively.
The doctor failed in many technical
questions that were asked him, and
T'haw began TO be worried before the
witness was excused, meantime his
counsel sat silent and let jerome have
the widest liberty.
If was at the close of Jerome's cross
examination OF DR.. Wiley that the at
tempt was made to introduced testi-
monv tending to show the strain OF
insanity said to have existed in GER
tain branches of the Thaw family
Among the witnesses cdileu 10 Tue
stand was Albert Lee Thaw, of Rich
mond. Va. who said that his father
and Harry Thaw's father were first
cousins. The defense stated its pur-
nose to draw from the witness the
fact that his father died in an asylum
for the insane. when Jerome objected.
He declared that the relationship OF
both the witness and his father was
TOO far removed from the defendant
TO he competent. Jerome was sustained
bv the Judge, who, however, ruled sub
iect to any authorities the defense
might later present.
The defense next introduced as a wit
ness Benjamin Boman, who testified
that in January, 1904, he had a con-
yersation with the defendant He was
about to tell what the conversation
was when Jerome interrupted, declar-
/ ing conversation so far back was NOT
relevant or material. Justice Fitzger-
aid again called upon Thaw's attor-
news for citations of authorities cover.

reports from time to time have been

Monon Road Increases Wages.

A bulletin has been posted at the
Monon shops at Lafayette which sets
forth an increase Of wages for the
the machinists who Fave been receiv-
ing 301a cents per hour will receive 80
cents. Ehe increase is equivalent to
10 per cent increase. It is believed
the boilermakers will also get an in
crease. The trainment requested an
increase of Is per cent and overtime
for delays at terminals. Freight con-
ductors who have been receiving 53.15
per 100 miles have had their wages
raised to $3.2S for the same distance.
Brakemans wages have bee increased
from S2.10 to S2.22 per hundred miles.
Passenger conductors on through runs
will get S2.271a per hundred miles.
They have been getting $2.01. Passen-
ger brakemen who have been receiving
$1.1O per hundred miles will get s1.13.
Local passenger conductors on the sec
ond division of the road have been rails
ed from $105 to $107.50 per month.
They work twenty six days a month.
The engineers, fremen and yardmen
have also asked for more wages, but
their request has not oeen acted upon.
They We're not granted any overtime
for delay at terminals, but will be al
lowed to cook in their cabooses. 1t
is also agreed that the men shall get
in full 5000 miles each month. The
extra crews will not interfere with

Hunor ano Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
FIRST TIME OUT.

He's not an awkward schoolboy,
He's not q bashful lad.
No he's a man OF forty
And several times a dad,
But he is dazed and tongue tied
His words all out of reach
And for the first time trying
To make a public speech.
It seemed a simple matter
For him TO do the part
When he was in his study
And learning it by heart
Now. meeting friends and neighborS
In public face to face,
He wishes that an earthquake
Would swallow Up the place
He stammers. and he shutters;
He fumbles at his coat;
a lump much like football
Arises in his throat;
His knees begin to wabble;
His voice begins to fail.
He'd rather take a licking
Or forty days in jail.
Though large and fat and husky
And feeling fit 10 fight.
He cannot face the music
And in IL take delight
He knows if he survives II
To brave those harmless men
That money wouldn't hire him
To try the thing again.

TWO OTHER DOCTORS TESTIFY
What They Said Helps Little bis
Among Thaw's Counsel.

Dr. c. H. Bingham, of Pittsburg.
who has been a family physician OF
the Thaws for thirty years, took the
stand and testified that he had known
Harry Thaw ever since his infancy.
He had treated him once for St. Vitus
dance. He seemed TO be lad Of high
iy nervous temperament and slept bad
~ at night, said the witness. Jerome's
cross examination was brief
How old was the defendant when
be had st. Vitus dancer" he asked.
"Seven."
THAT is all, doctor"
DR.. John It. Deemar, Of Kittanning,
Pa. the family physician of the Cop
leys-Nrs Thaw, the prisoners moth
er, having been Miss Copley-was
the last witness Of the day. He was
called to testify as TO the mental con
dition Of John Ross. a cousin Of Har-
~ Thaw, when Jerome objected. Jus
tee Fitzgerald held that until the de-
lenses authorities on the introduction
Of testimony as to collateral insanity
were presented he thought it best to
rule out all such testimony for the
time being. 1t was at this point that
the adjournment was ordered.
Many and conflicting rumors but all
In effect that there is a serious differ
ence Of opinion among Thaw's coun-
sci as TO the conduct of the defense in
! the trial. followed a conference of fhe
/ prisoners attorneys. The reports We're
| based chiefly on the understanding
| that Thaw's choice of John B. Gleason
as the leading factor in the defense
was not satisfactory to the other attor-
neys. particularly Attorneys Delmas
and McPike. From one source it was
declared that five of the attorneys had
told Gleason that he must not usurp
the chief role of the defense today, or
If he did the others would retire from
the case.
A serious cause of complaint was
that at a conference held on Monday
night Thaw's legal advisers decided
not to call Dr. C. G. Wiley. the Pitts
burg allenist, as a witness at The pres
emf time, and it was therefore with the
greatest surprise that they heard his
name called by Gleason as the frs
witness yesterday. 1t had also beer
their intention to call Mrs. Harry
Thaw, but this move was frustrated
In spite of all these reports not one
member of the defendants counse
would confirm or deny them or b.
quoted as to the exact status Of thu
matter.

Basis of His Opinions.

DIR. Wiley testified that he predicated
his opinion as to Thaw's insanity up
on his actions the night Of the trag-
edy, as described to him in a hypotheti-
cal question propounded by the de-
Tense, and upon an incident which he
witnessed on a Pittsburg street car
during the summer of 1905. Thaw,
said the doctor, acted irrationally on
the car, coming III suddenly and jerk
ing up one Of the window blinds, slam
ming it down and then lifting it again,
the while engaging in a wordy war
with the conductor.

living expenses during the past two

A satisfactory adjustment finally was
reached yesterday. No fiat percentage
of increase is given to any class of

being dependent entirely on conditions.
The increase amounts. however, from
