 Menace to Society.
 New York, April 3.-When Harry K. Thaw came into court today he ex- pressed great delight when told that the lunacy commission appointed to determine his present mental condition would probably conclude its labors in a few hours and send it's conclusions to Justice Fitzgerald tomorrow. If ThaW is freed he will be a men, ace to society,"" declared Dr. Austin Flint at the hearing before the lunacy commission. He has paranoia," he con- tinued.
 His delusions will grow in grandeur and eventually may center around some one connected with the trial. Ii so that persons life would be in dan ger"
 The foregoing was the substance of the testimony of Jerome's six alienists at the hearing before the lunacy con- mission. These alienists besides Dr. Flint included Dr. William Mabon, Dr. William Hirsch and Dr. Allan McLane Hamilton. The latter's worst hit at the defense was when he said:
 Harry Thaw is not now rationally conscious that he Is on trial for his life and has no rational conception of what Is going on at the present time in this room"

On Sept. g I answered this letter saying, "At present there is nothing for me to see you about, though there were one or two points in my letter of acceptance which I would like to have discussed with you before putting 1t out" :" Let me present the facts: On June 29, 1901. the president wrote me the following letter, which he does not in- clude in the correspondence published to- day. It reached me in Europe: "White House, Washington, June 29, 1904. Personal.
 My dear MT. Hartman:
 'I thank you for your letter. AS soon as The fight will doubtless be hot then. 1t has been real pleasure to see you this year. Very truly yours,

 Omitted Letter.
 In reply to this I wrote him on my re- turn from Europe the letter of Sept. 20 the opening sentences of which he elim- mated in his publication:
 'New York, Sept. 20, 1904 Dear MT. President:
 'I was very glad to receive your note of June 29 last while l was in Europe. 1 am now getting matters that accumulated during my absence somewhat cleared up and, if you think 1t desirable, will go to see you at any time either now or later It seems to me that the situation could not be in better shape. Yours sincerely,
 "E. H. HARTMAN" ''To the president, Washington, D. C." Then followed a series of invitations from the White House, both from the president and his secretary, urging me to go to Washington. On Oct 10 the presi- dent wrote: "In view of the trouble over the state ticket in New York, I should much like to have few words with you. Do you think you can get down here within few days and take either lunch or dinner with me?"
 Whether I was seeking his aid to secure the adherence of the state of New York to the state ticket or he was seeking mino is proved or disprovcd by this correspond ence and 1 chcerfully submit to the pub lie the inference.
 am not responsible for what MT. Sher- man may have said to the president with reference to the conversation i.c had with me. All that I have to say is that I did not meet his urgent requests that I con- tribute to his campaign fund and that the statements alleged to have been attributed to me by him were false. The president was assured of this fact by mutual friend who was present at the interview.

brought ToTWaTO py nOOScVolts
 This is the way I was brought to the surface in the political matters, as I had never before taken any active part and had only done what I could as any pri- vate citizen might. So you see I was brought forward by Roosevelt in an at- tempt to help him, at his request, the same as I was in the insurance matter by Hyde and Ryan by their request for my help. And in the case of Ryan would probably have dropped the matter after my first interview had it not been for my desire to save Belmont from talk ing a position for which he could have been criticised by the public press, as he was the one Ryan desired me to influence from opposing Morton for election as chairman of the Equitable board, and Belmont afterward thanked me for talk ing his part as, if he had voted against Morton, in view of his local traction con tentions with MT. Ryan, 1t would have been misconstrued.

 Ryan's success in all his manipulations traction deals, tobacco combination, manipulation of the State Trust company into the Morton Trust company, the Shoe and Leather bank into the Western Ma tional bank and then again into the Bank of Commerce, thus covering up his tracks has been done by the adroit mind of Elihu Root, and this present situation has been brought about by a combination of circumstances which has brought together Ryan, Root, Roosevelt element.

DOLE WORK
PILES UP
HOW THE FEDERAL COURT WORK
HAS INCREASED AND CALLS
FOR TWO JUDGES.

The agitation among the legal fra
ternity in favor of the appointment of
another Federal judge to relieve the
congestion of the District Court, which
is daily becoming greater, is becoming
stronger all the time, and there is ev-
cry indication that an effort will be
made to have the matter brought be-
fore Congress at its next session.
Judge Dole has been working con-
stantly but the work is still piling up,
and it will be very difficult for him to
secure even a short vacation this fall.
Moreover there is no reason to believe
that the work will become any lighter
in the future, the opposite being more
likely to be the case.
AS an indication of the congestion
which exists, it may be stated that OF
fourteen admiralty cases which were
started during the last fiscal year
lending June 30th) only one of them
have been disposed of. Half of these
cases are ones involving hundreds OF
thousands of dollars, as in the Man.
churia salvage case, and require much
time. Besides this the criminal WORK
has increased fully 20 per cent in the
past year, and there are numerous
naturalization cases, and smaller mat
ters which in the aggregate pile up a
very formidable lot of work for even
two judges to handle.

1t was stated when the Indiana was

on the run. This Barneson denies.
He states that the local characters had
an option on the Indiana to return for
another load of Japs and this option
is being exercised in the return of the
vessel, now en- route to Honolulu. Up
on her return to Canada she will re-

CASTLES SPEECH
At LAKE MOHONK
MADE FINE IMPRESSION IN SHORT
ADDRESS TO A VERY DISTIN-
GUISHED COMPANY.

The following correspondence to the
Chamber of Commerce gives a report
of the part taken by Hawaiis represen-
tative at the Lake Mohonk conference:
My Dear Mr. Giffard:
| am glad to be able to report the
Lake Mohonk Conference to you as be-
ing a very successful one. You sent
me no instructions except the resolu-
tions sent by the Chamber of Com
merce to President Roosevelt so | had
to decide on various questions for
myself. Informally / talked with a
great many ON the advantages of our
islands as a resort for tourists and as
field for investment. Several people
said they would try to go out during
the coming months. At the meeting
run by the representatives of the va
rious chambers of commerce l made

You will gee what l said when the re-
port of the conference is mailed to YOU
l had no idea that was to speak until
lust before the meeting so had no time
to prepare and may have been inac-
curate in consequence. Perhaps l ex-
ceeded my authority in strongly urg-
ling two measures as considered inn
portant by people in Honolulu-mea-
sures which l myself think look inn
portant and practicable. They were
that the Hague Conference be urged to
declare the inviolability of private
property, not contraband, in time OF
war and the naturalization of ocean
trade routes. 1t seemed to me that
both Of these were, from our point OF
view, exceedingly important, and was
very glad that the conference adopted
them. I must also admit that l ac-
tually went against the resolution OF
the chamber in voting against leaving
anything I'm the Mohonk platform
about limitations of armament. The
platform urged that the Hague adopt
certain things, not that they discuss
them, We fe-t that discussion OF thii
question would be valuable but knew
that the practical difficulties In th'
way Of such Limitation would make I
impossible at the present time an'
that We should urge only those thing
which were practicable, II IL a thin

in insisting on having the bulkhead
cut through from the oilers quarters

against the old mans will. Eight
men bunk there and four were in bed
at the time it stove in. They would
have drowned like rats If they had
had no access to the galley.

glad that there was an upper bunk

TOO READY
FOR DEATH
JOHN WRIGHT SAYS HE MADE
VERY IMPORTANT PREPARA-
TTONS TOO SOON.

A suit was filed yesterday in the Cir
cult Court by John Wright VS.. Cecil
Brown, administrator of the estate Of
Elizabeth Wright, deceased, and John
Hoslkins, Jane Franklin, and Susan
Rowland, for the annulment OF certain
transfers of property made by the
plaintiff to his deceased wife Elizabeth
Wright in May, 1906.
According to the bin filed the plain
tiff while very i'll and in the belief
that his end was near, had transfer
made to his wife of all his property
amounting in value to about ,$30, ,O00.
After his recovery, however, he neg
lected to have the property decided
back to him, and when his wife died
suddenly on January Is, 1907, without
leaving a will, all of his property ap-
peared as belonging to his wife, and
hence subject to division among the
defendants in the action instituted,
they being brother and sisters of the
deceased.
Thompson & Clemons appear in the
case as counsel for the plaintiff.

HOMES ON
The LAVA
LAND DEPARTMENT ABOUT TO
OFFER SITES For RESIDENCES
NEAR VOLCANO.

HILo, August 22.-Engineer Thomas
E. Cook is now in the mountain sur
veying the lots on the Volcano Road,
which the Territorial Department OF
Public Lands proposes shortly to offer
for sale. There has been some delay
in proceeding with this sale because it
was first necessary to effect an ex-
change of land with Commissioner
Charles B. Furneaux, whereby right
of way could be secured, SO that ali
the lots should have frontage on a
government road. But as this ex-
change has been completed, the work
of survey will soon be finished.
The lots to be offered are within
about two miles of the Volcano House.
The land is mostly lava, absolutely
worthless for agricultural or pastoral
purpose except perhaps a stray patcn
here and there, and the lots are to be
sold simply for mountain residences,
where cottages can be erected so that
people in Hilo can go up there for a
vacation, or from Saturday to Monday.
Some of the lots may be purchased by
people in Honolulu who will be glad to
have a place where their families can
spend few weeks near the volcano.
1t is the intention of Land Commits
sioner Pratt to offer "The Volcano
Lots" at cash sale with no conditions
or strings of any kind attached to
them. The highest bidder will get
each lot, paying cash for it and secur-
ing his patent. They will probably be
offered at a nominal valuation, five to
ten dollars an acre, and be parcelled
out into FIVE acre lots.
