HIS HAND SHOWN
Jer0me's Intentions Are No
Longer Matter of Doubt.
He Will Try to Send Thaw to
Insane Asylum.
DEFENSE WILL FIGHT
To Have the Jury Settle the
Prisoners Fate.
Case Was Adjourned Friday
Afternoon Until Monday.

| New York, March EVERY day q
the Thaw trial apparently takes Mr.
| Jerome SO much nearer to the foun.
| dalton he is trying to lay for re-
quest for commission in lunacy az
| the first step in an attempt to senc
! the slayer of Stanford White to the
| asylum for the criminally insane al
Matteawan. When court convenes or
Evans, the defensefS principal expert
will be concluded and other medical
men will be called for cross-examina-
ton in a continuation of Mr.. Jerome
attempt to show Thaw's insanity is OF
such nature as to be incurable or al
least of such a character as makes ii
unlikely that he has yet recovered
from the mental arrangement which
caused him to commit homicide. Mr..
jerome is firmly convinced that ThaW' S
mental condition is the result of para
noia and not of melancholia as the
defense has tried to show. In other
words he believes that Thaw's mental
malady is of a character which pre-
cludes the possibility that he could
have been insane on the night he shot
Stanford White, and sane today.
DR.. Evans has admitted that he be-
lieves Thaw was insane in the fall of
1903, and that he was again insane
when he married April 4, 1905, and was
suffering from bra storm" on June
%, 1906, the night of the homicide
What his condition was between these
"
While the expert has been firm in his
classification of the disease as melan-
cholia as the result of insanity of the
adolescent or developmental stage he
has been forced to admit that at times
there were present the symptoms OF
paranoia. 1t is probable that the pros
ecution's experts will testify that many
of the symptoms which DR.. Evans has
struggled to show were simply those
of melancholia are really the signs Of
paranoia.
The district attorneys cross-exami-
nation of DIR. Evans has been mastery
and struggle as hard as the expert
might, he could not keep from making
some damaging admissions, although
it has taken4 Mr.. Jerome more than
two days IF constant questioning to
draw them out. The district attor-
day when he will draw together the
loose ends of his somewhat erratic
questioning and will endeavor to make
DR.. Evans admit that he believes that
Harry Thaw is crazy today.
1t was determined last night at
conference of defendants counsel,
held at the home of Dolphin NJ. Del
mas, to endeavor by all legal means to
combat the supposed attempt by the
district attorney to apply fora lunacy
commission. The lawyers were unani-
nous in the opinion that Harry K.
Thaw's fate should be decided by the
Jury and when their conclusion was
reported to the wife and mother of the
defendant they acquiesced in the de-
cision to fight the case to the end.
One of the lawyers for the defense,
in speaking of the conference and its
decision, said that any attempt to send
Thaw to the mad house where he
ment is disposed of, would be fought
to the end.

Pennsylvania Pension Fund Is
Raised to 100000 Year.
Big System Makes Increase in
Annual Appropriation.
FOR AGED EMPLOYEES.
Thirty five Per Cent Additional
Will Be Spent.
Other Late News of Interest to
Railway Men.

Philadelphia. March 2-Having grant
ed a 10 per cent increase in wages TO
Its active employees the Pennsylvania
railroad has just gone a step further
and raised the annual appropriation OF
its pension fund for retired employees
by IS per cent-from 100000 to $780,
COO year. This announcement 3 con-
tanned in the annual report just COM
pleted by the pension department of
the railroad.
According to this report nearly half
a million dollars in pension allowances
was paid by the Pennsylvania railroad
to its retired employees in 1906. The
exact amount, S467 614.47, is the largest
sum yet paid in any one year, and
exceeds that of 1905 by nearly $4,000.
There are now 1,94O men on the pen
sion rolls of the company. In Janu-
airy. 1906, there were 1910. During the
year 200 men died, three-fourths of
whom were over 20 years of age This
decrease was offset by the retirement
of 331 men. OF this number POI wera
in the 20 year class and 129 between
the ages of 65 and 50.
Besides containing the announce
ment of the IS per cent increase in the
annual appropriation, the amount dis
tributed in 1906 and the number of
men now on the pension rolls, the re-
port sets forth a complete statement
of the operations of the pension de-
partment of the Pennsylvania railroad
since the pension system was organ
lied in 1900. At that time there were
only 1,190 men on the retired list, who
received $3.50, 433. ga little more than
half the amount distributed last year.
Since 1900 the pension department
has distributed total of 81. 49S, S7O.86,
which gives an average for the seven
years of $356, 26S. 90. The number OF
employees retired and pensioned up to
the present time is 3,031. In addition
1000 men have died The average age
of employees at the time of retirement
was Il years and months. with an
average length OF service OF 81 years
and months.
Although the Pennsylvania railroad
was not the first to inaugurate the
pension system, it's pension department
has been so thoroughly well organized
that it has come to be recognized by
other railroads as the model of sucn
systems Everything is done accord
ing to a well-defined plan and no one
is ever overlooked The company
purpose is to provide for old and
faithful employees upon their becoming
mentally or physically unfit after 20
years of activity. Employment in the
companys service is generally accept
ed as of a permanent nature. and
viewing the matter in this light tie
company makes provision so that thcse
who have given the best years OF
their life to its interest, can look for-
ward to be taken care of in their Old ]
age.
