GENERAL ELECTION
FOR PHILIPPINES
PRESIDENT SIGNS EXECUTIVE
ORDER
Delegates to the Assembly Will Be
Chosen, in All Probability,
-. Not Later Than
July 80
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, March 29-The pres
ident last evening signed the executive
order requiring the Philippine commits
sion to issue the call required by law
for general election of delegates to the
Philippine assembly.
The order recites the fact that peace
has been practically restored to all of
the Christian sections of the islands.
Although no date for the election is
named, the Philippine commission has
already fixed on July 80 next as the
date.
The executive order is authorized by
an act of congress, which stipulates
that whenever the president shall be
satisfied that conditions of general and
complete peace have been established,
which fact shall be certified to the
president by the Philippine commission,
he shall direct that a census of the
population be taken. Two years after
the completion of this census the presi-
dent is to issue the election order
which is to apply to all the territory of
the islands not inhabited by Moros or
non-Christian tribes.
What Election Means
The election is to be for choice of
delegates to a popular body to be known
as the Philippine assembly.
When chosen and organized the as
sembly is to be vested with all the ex-
ecutive powers now held and exercised
by the Philippine commission, except
such as related to the Moro and other
non Christian tribes. The upper house
of the newly formed legislature will
be composed entirely Of the Philippine
commission.
The president says i'm the order that
he received certification Of peace Sep
tember II, 1902, and nine days later
ordered the census taken. The COM
plete returns were reported March 2S,
1905.
The present proclamation bears the
date of March %, 1907, thus complying
specifically with the law.

rhaw's Attorneys Cheerful

Thaw's attorneys are so sanguine as
to the outcome of the lunacy inquiry
that they were today making plans for
the resumption of the trial next week.
1t seems now that if the trial is taken
up again the defense probably will an
nounce that it rests without further
Testimony.
If Thaw is decided to be of sound
mind today and the trial is resumed
1t should not last more than three or
four days. The attorneys in their sum-
ming up addresses will not be allowed TO
refer in any way to the lunacy COM
mission, for it's appointment and pro-
ceedings are not a part of the trial
record.
During the trial all the alienists who
had examined Thaw and who were
called to the stand paid tribute to the
prisoners remarkable memory.
Tt was this memory, it was said
which served him in such good stead
before the commission on Thursday and
which led Attorney Hartridge to make
the statement:
"Thaw remembered more about the
trial than 1 did"

attorneys Merely spectators
The commission yesterday indicated
that it had reached the conclusion that
its members could decide from their
own examination of Thaw the simple
questions placed before them by Justice
Fitzgerald.
1t was reported again today that
neither Thaw's own lawyers nor Dis
trict Attorney Jerome would be allowed
to question Thaw or any other wit
nesses who may be called upon to tes-
tify at the inquiry. The commission
apparently has also decided to keep its
record clear of any expert testimony.
Chairman David Mcclure told the dis
trict attorney on Thursday afternoon
that the question as to whether Thaw
is capable of appreciating the nature
of the court proceedings against him
and of nationally advising his counsel
is a matter subject wholly to a lay
opinion
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-30
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, March 29.-The COM
mission in lunacy examining the pres
ent mental condition of Harry X. Thaw
may finish it's work tomorrow and be
ready to report to Justice Fitzgerald
by Monday.
The Thaw jury will report in court
once more at 10:30 o'clock Monday
morning, and it is the hope of the pre-
siding judge as well as the commission
that the matter of the defendants
sanity may be disposed of by that time.
If the commission should submit a
report to the effect that Thaw fully
understands the nature of the proceed
ings against him and has nationally ad-
vised with his counsel. Justice Fitz-
gerald will simply direct that the trial
proceed without making public the
commissions finding.
If the report should be against Thaw
Justice Fitzgerald will announce the
decision from the bench. and if he
deems the prisoners release to be dan
gerous to the public peace and safety
he will sign an order directing the con-
finement in some state hospital for the
insane, probably Matteawan.
Today being Good Friday there was
no session of the lunacy board. and
Thaw spent a quiet day in the Tombs
prison preparing for a renewal of his
mental test tomorrow morning at 10
O'Clock.
1t is possible that several doorl1eepers
in the Tombs may be called to give
lay opinion as to Thaw's conduct since
his Incarceration.

When asked If a dog could kill wolf
with twenty bites he said that 1t largely
depended on what kind Of dog it was and
where he bit the wolf.
When asked about the wolf guiding lost
children home he said If he had children
other guide for them.
Another question was asked about a FAM
ished wolf catching a squirrel and instead
tribute. He denounced that story as a fake
and said that If the older wolf wanted it he
should have been around to collect his trlb-
ute.
He was asked his opinion as to the dec
laration that fish have been able to swim
up waterfalls. He said that undoubtedly
fish were able to swim up rapids and sluice-
ways alongside of dams, but as for swim
ming up precipitouS waterfalls the idea was
ridiculous.
He denied that the woodpecker makes
itself crutch when injured. Ducks do not
instruct their young to swim in the water

NEW CHARGES AGAINST PLATT.

NEW YORK, August 24.-Further charges
of dupllcity maladministration and financial
irregularities were made yesterday against
the directors and management of the United
States Express Company. and particularly
against Senator T. c. Platt its president. by
the committee representing the stockholders
who are fighting for larger dividends and
trying to force the management to call a
meeting of stockholders. Such a meeting
has not been held for forty-fve years.
The stockholders want to hold one and
elect new directors. They alIege that the
present directors are each getting an
nual salary of $1,000, to which they not

being run for the advantage of these COM
panes.
Two circulars were made public yesterday,
one of them signed by A. l.. Banister and
Samuel S. Halt OF the committee and the
other by Eugene G.. Kremer, their counsel,
in answer to the circular sent to stockhOd-
ers some days ago by Senator Platt. The
senator In his circular laid particular en-
phasiS on the meager earnings and assets
of the company and accused the stockhold-
ers' committee of holding back the names
of the shareholders they represented. He
also laid stress on the generosity which his
management had exercised in opening the
company's books to the stockholders.
