PRooEEDINGs OF THE SENATE

Denatured Alcohol Bill Passed and
Conference Reports Agreed To.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The dena-
tured alcohol bill passed the senate today
by q vote of 65 to 1. Senator Pettus Of
Alabama cast the negative vote This
action was taken after the committee
amendment, requiring the presence of
government storekeeper whenever alcohol
is being manufactured, had been defeated
by a vote of AZ to 16. The bill as passed
contains a senate amendment permitting
rum to be denatured. Consequently the
measure must be returned to the house
for action. The bill is intended to make
It possible for farmers 10 establish stills
of limited capacity for the manufacture
OF alcohol to be denatured.
Senator Aldrich made brief answer to
the arguments which were advanced yes
terday against the committee amendment
requiring the presence OF storekeeper
during the process OF manufacturing alco-
hol. He said opportunities for fraud on
the revenues, unless such a safeguard was
provided were. numberless The commits
sloner of internal revenue. he contended,
would have authority without the amend
ment to require the presence of an agent
during the process of manufacture and 1t
was his belief that this would be done
whether the amendment was adopted or
not. roll call was demanded on the
amendment resulting In its defeat by a vote
OF AZ to Il.
The amendment OF Senator Daniel post
poning the operation of the law until jan
uary 1, next, was also defeated after which
the bill was passed by vote of 65 to l,
Conference reports on the agricultural,
sundry civil. naval and postoffice approp-
riation bills were agreed to.
bill was passed granting a pension of
$50 month to the widow of the late
general Joseph r. Hawley.
The conference report on the postofice
appropriation bill was reported to the
senate today and adopted. The more inn
portant senate amendments which were
retained were, classifying clerks in first
and second class postoffces and fixing a
scale of salaries ranging from $500 to
$1,000; authorizing contracts in the sum
OF '$1.88s,7S9 for pneumatic tubes in
Brooklyn. Baltimore, Cincinnati. Kansas
City, P1ttsburg and San Francicso; in
creasing the pay of rural carriers to 5000
a year.
The senate reeeded on its amendment re-
quiring the use of the divisor seven IN de-
terminating the average daily weight OF

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE

eve express to you herewith our best
thanks for the cure of our baby from
eczema. The ,ecsemA appeared when
the child was three months old. We
applied 10 several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought 10
lief. A physician recommended salvU
which we threw into the FIRE after two
dnyS use as the eczema became worss
% that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one Of our friends recommended TO
ms Cuticura Soap aud Cuticura ONT
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
ana Giticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is quite cured.
An that we used was one cake Of CIti-
eurA Soap and two boxes Cuticura ONT
ment, costing in all Sl.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead Of
throwing it into the doctors lap. 1
myself only make twelve dollars q week
- a teamster, but recommend the
Cuticurs Remedies strongly TO all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. G. F. Kara and Wife, 343 East

artesian by the big disturbance This was
learned when the pump was taken out for
repairs, the courtyard being flooded within
a short time. The wells were bored many
years ago and are about Us feet deep.
There was apparently a subterranean con-
nection between them, for the pumping OF
water from one lowered the water in the
other Normally, the water was within
thirty feet OF the surface, and that was
the condition when the pump was taken
out last March. Last week, for the first
time since March. 1906. the pumps were
again removed, when 1t was discovered
that the water flowed freely without me-
chanical aid.

He said he wanted to see IL ut was ques-
ton of geography"
An amendment by Mr.. Sulzer requiring
ships to stop at Mexican Pacific ports,
which developed the fact that several men,
bers Of the house do not know the names
Of Mexican ports. was next offered. By
this time interest in the bill was intense.
The galleries were crowded and the lead
ers on both sides OF the chamber were
rallying their forces for the final battle.
It was near 5 O'Clock and there was still
pending Mr.. Fordney's amendment sub
stltuting a tonnage tax measure. The ad-
vocates of the Littauer substitute did not
desire to vote on that proposition and they
began to nlibuster by forcing a vote on
the sulzer amendment which was over
whelmingly defeated.
Tellers were demanded by Mr. Littauer
to kill tine, Notwithstanding the chorus
OF noes" that went up from the demo-
Gratis. When the count was finally taken
there was found to be only one vote for
the provision The vote was slow In the
extreme and the democrats became highly
indignant. Mr.. Sulzer rose to have the
vote by tellers abandoned, but Mr.. Cur
rier of New Hampshire, in the chair
held that the vote could not be interrupted,
and the farce was continued until o'clock
arrived, when the regular order was de-
manded.
Bill Reported to House.
The bill was then reported from the COM
mittee of the whole to the house, and
much to the chagrin of the supporters of
the Littauer bill, Speaker Cannon held that
there must still be a vote on the Fordney
substitute. The result was unfavorable to
that measure and ballot on the Littauer
bill was Immediately announced.
The ayes and nays were ordered and the
vote as announced showed the bill de-
feated, ayes 1854. nays 161.
Mr.. Littauer moved to reconsider. Mr..
williams of Mississippi, the minority leader,
moved to lay the motion on the table.
Then the republican leaders determined to
undo the former action and pass the bill
If possible. The motion to lay on the
table was defeated, 1856 to 169. The repub-
licans won a victory in the very jaws
of defeat.
Again the ayes and nays were called,
this time on the motion OF Mr.. Littauer to
reconsider the first vote, and the house
decided to reconsider by a vote Of 164 to
ia
Mr.. Littauer then moved that the substi-
tute to the senate bill be agreed to and the
substitute was adopted, 162 ayes, $50 nays.
The third reading Of the bill was author
lied 161. nays Isl, and then on its final
passage there were ayes 155, nays IA Mr.
Williams realized that II would be useless
to continue to contest and the motion to
reconsider and the motion to lay on the
table were perfunctorily agreed to.

THAW MENTALLY UNSTEADY
District Attorney jerome Spends Day
Cross Examining DR.. Evans
WORKING TOWARD LUNAcY COMMISSION
Partially Successful Attempt TO Mako
Witness Admit Prisoner May
Have IncurabIe Form of
Insanity.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The insanity of
adolescence, paranoia and brain storms"
occupied both sessions of the Thaw trial
today, and when adjournment until Monday
morning was ordered DIR. Brittin d. Evans.
one of the alienists for the defense, was
still under cross-examlnation.
District Attorney Jeromes course in ques-
tioning the witness was somewhat baffiing.
He seemed DESTROYS to have DR.. Evans adj
NIT that Thaw suffered from paranoia,
which is practically incurable Then again
he brought from the witness the opinion
that when Thaw armed himself he we'll
knew that a revolver was an instrument
for self-protection and when fired into
human body might produce death, Finally
the prosecutor wanted TO know II the
actions Of a person suffering from brain
storm, or mental explosion, would be char
acterized by the calm, deliberate manner
which Thaw displayed the night he shot
Stanford White to death on the Madison
Square roof garden.
The net result appeared 10 be that Mr..
Jerome is still laying the foundation on
which he may ask for a commission In
lunacy to Judge of the present mental con-
dition of the defendant Even to the ex-
tent of greatly fatiguing the judge and
jury. the district attorney dwelt on the
subject of adolescent insanity and para
nola, endeavoring to establish a relation
ship between the two and Deing at last
rewarded by DR.. Evans admitting that the
defendants will and codicil did suggest to
his mind a paranoias form of adolescent
insanity Adolescent insanity, It has been
explained, is common in persons during
the development period Of life from 10 TO
70 years, while paranoia is a fixed insanity
ON one subject, monomania.
Judge is Fatigued.
Justice Fitzgerald indicated his fatigue
at the three days cross-examination OF the
expert when Mr.. Jerome began to question
DR.. Evans about his knowledge OF other
instances Of adolescent insanity which had
resulted In acts OF homicide. The alienist
said there was a woman in his hospital
for the insane at Morris Plains. N. j.,
who. in the midst OF a brain storm, or
mental explosion. had killed two OF her
children.
After a number of questions by Mr..
Jerome. objection was made by Mr.. Delmas
to this line of examination. Mr. Jerome
answered that I'VE are just getting to the
point OF this thing"
This brought out a weary remark from
the Judge TO the effect that I'VE have been
mighty long time getting there"
Mr.. Jerome disclaimed responsibility for
the tedious cross examination. suggesting
the blame was with the evasive answers Of
the expert.
i am not saying whose fault 1t is." said

justice Fitzgerald, but L repeat, We have
been long time getting to the point"
witness Refuses to Answer.
The district attorney and the Judge had
another wordy conflict near the end of the
day when Mr.. Jerome asked DR.. Evans to
give his opinion of DR.. Allan McLane Ham
ilton, who is to be called in rebuttal by the
state and who is reported to have said
that he believed Harry Thaw to be suf-
fering from form of insanity which could
not possibly have been eradlcated by this
time.
II refuse to answer" replied the witness.
Mr. Jerome argued the point and cited
a part OF the record in the Preusser case at
Albany, where the presiding judge had
allowed one expert to give an opinion of
another.
"Now you will direct the witness to
answer" suggested Mr.. Jerome, inqulr-
ingly of the justice.
II will not" responded Justice Fitz-
gerald
He added that he would not rule finally
on the point until he hau read the entire
record of the Preusser trial. AS Mr..
Jerome said the ruling would cover the
last questions OF his examination. the ad-
journment until Monday was ordered. DIR.
Evans will again be on the stand.
DIR. Evans declared today that Thaw
showed a degree of adolescent insanity
when he wrote the letvers in 1903 after
Evelyn Nesbit had told him of her alleged
wrongs at the hands OF Stanford White.
The decisions apparent in the letters were
more concentrated in the will and codicil
executed April 4, 1906, and when taken by
! themselves indicated paranoiac feature OF
the insanity. On June Is, 1906, when Thaw
shot and killed Stanford White, DR.. Evans
said the defendant was suffering from an
explosive outburst Of adoIescent insanity.
Mr.. Jerome tried to make the witness
admit that person insane from 1903 to 1906
suffered from a chronic form of mental
disorder. but DR.. Evans insisted that the
evidence merely showed acute outbursts
and not a chronic state.
Unusual Acts of Prisoner.
Now that Evelyn Nesblt Thaw is no
, longer upon the stand and the center Of
all interest, the prisoner is attracting more
and more attention. He gave out no addi-
/ tional statements today, but created al
( most as great sensation as on yester-
day when he issued his attack upon the
'unprofessional' methods of the district
attorney. Through his counsel Thaw OBJ
tanned permission TO absent himself from
the room. When ne got into the prisoners
pen Thaw threw on his hat. brought his
heels together and began violently TO go
through a five minutes drill at Setting
| up" exercises. When he had finished
Thaw announced that he was ready to re-
turn to the court room, declaring he felt
he had been compelled to take the exer-
else.
Mr.. Jerome late was informed OF the de-
PENDANTS conduct and made notes upon It.
Thaw again brought TO court today sew
eral large packages Of letters. which he
read with avidity ana made pencil notes
upon each. He took apparently no inter-
est In the fencing between the district at
torney and the alienist.
When the Thaw trial opened this
morning District Attorney Jerome an
nOuneed that there had been received
second packet OF IetterS from l.
d. Lyons. the Pittsburg banker. who untn
November last had custody Of Thaws will.
