WILL OBJECT
TO LUNACY
RIAL
Thaw Counsel Worried
Over Probability of
jerome Securing In.
Sanity Hearing

New lsfri,. Feb. 1E- Gloss CO..
servers of the Thaw trial believe that
the present trend of the trial as shown
In the last two days is toward a COM
mission in lunacy to determine Of
f1cially Thaw's condition of mind. This
belief was suggested by District At
torney Jerome's apparent willingness
to admit part of the will, by his
readiness to withhold technical OBJ
jections to the testimony of Thaw's
family physicians tending to throw
light upon the defendants mental
status and by his policy yesterday III
admitting without opposition con-
versation between Thaw and DR..
Evans when the latter was examing
the prisoner in the Tombs.
Counsel for Thaw has reached the
opinion that the trial may be termin-
ated abruptly any day next week from
this cause. So fully convinced are
they that Jerome will make this move
that they are planning to fight him on
this line Thaw himself is confident
having declared that he would not
face the asylum in preference to Sing
Sing and the Geath chamber, SO it can
be seen what feeling this expected
move of Jerome's is creating in the
camp of the defense.
Thaw Made Appeal.
DR.. Josiah Strong, president of the
American institute for social service,
said today that Thaw consulted him
more than two years ago about break
ing up "den of vice" in this city
which was protected by wealthy and
influential man. Thaw did not say
where it was located, but Strong said
the young man told him such story
that it made his blood boil.
Strong said he referred Thaw to An
thony Comstock.

Legislatp $
Adjoassse - or Week
Senate Passes Resolution
Today Believed Lon Fare
Bill Will Pass Senate
Des Moines Bureau of
The Ottumwa Courier

Des Molnes, Feb. l5.
The senate passed concurrent res
olution for recess of the legislature
from February 2S to March 5. A bill
was also passed to increase the COM
pensalion for laboratory at Iowa City
to $4,000 year.
New Road Tax Bill.
The house today passed the Teter
bill allowing townships the option of
returning to the old system of work
ing out road tax, which was debated
extensively yesterday. and voted to ad-
journ till 1880 this afternoon.
Low Fare Bill Will Pass.
Despite the showing made by the
representatives of the railroads on
Wednesday and what they have to pre-
sent 10 the senate committee on rail
roads this afternoon, there is general
belief that the two-cent fare bill will
be reported to the senate favorably
and that very soon. There is not a
particle of doubt that the senate will
pass the bill There will be more dis
cussion of the bill than there was in
the house. for some of the senators
will hardly permit it's passage. without
making some pointed declarations in
regard thereto. The compromise Of
fered by the railroads in the shape OF
the Jones-Gillilland bill for a mileage
book and a rate of two and one-half
cents mile, will receive some con
sideration. though as matter of fact
the same objections can and will be
urged against it as were urged against
the Chassell bill of last year which the
railr3ai Representative declared was
unconstitutional The hearing before
the senale committee will be completed
this afternoon. AS a matter of fact
the railroads have made very fine
presentation of their side of the case
and have aroused no antagonisms by
their methods, which have been open
and fair But the majority of the
members believe that the time has
come for the two-cent fare and that nc
great harm will come from trying it in
Iowa, and therefore they say they will
pass the bill regardless of all the argu
ments that can be made against it.

BIG CARPET COMPANY
GOES TOTHE WALL
James Dunlap Company Temporarily
Observation-Disclosures 100000.

Philadelphia, Feb. 15.-Counsel for
the James Dunlap Carpet company
which operates large mills in this city
announced today that the company is
temporarily embarr; sed. 1t is stated
the liabilities are 100000 and it is ex-
pected the assets will be largely IN
excess of that sum.
The reasons for the embarrassment,
counsels said, are the failure of tenta-
tive subscribers to the company's
stock to pay for it, and the fact that
James Dunlap, the president of the
company, "had run UP against the jute
trust"
