VICTORY FOR UNIoNIsTs.
Decision Handed Down in Presby
terrain Church Controversy.

Evansville, Ind, March l1.-Judge
Gllchrist, OF Vanderburgh super. or
court, rendered a decision in the Pres.
byterian church union controversy
Saturday in which the unionists won
an overwhelming victory.
The decision was on two cases. one
from Washington, Ind, in which the
antl-unionists sued for possession of
church property, the other from Vim.
cennes, Ind, in which unionists ask
for an Injunction to prevent the anti
unionists from interfering with their
possession of the property.
The issue turned upon the legality
of union and constitutional right of
the two Presbyterian churches to en-
ter into the union. In an elaborate
decision the judge recounts the his.
tory of the many Presbyterian unions
in the past 200 years and decides that
such uniform action amounts to an adj
herent constitutional right to form any
union that the churches might adopt,
it action is taken in conformity with
their own law
This he decided has been done in
every particular in these two cases.

INSANITY EXPERTS
HE WILL PROBABLY DEVOTE
CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION TO
TESTIMONY OF ALiENlsTs.
STATEMENT OF THAW
DIVORCE IS DENIED
Wife of Defendant Likely to Be Called
to Witness Stand by Prosecution
Seventh Week of Famous Trial at
Hand.

New York, March 11.-That District
Attorney Jerome intends to devote
considerable attention to the insanity
feature of the Thaw case in his re-
buttal examination became apparent
Saturday when Drs. Mabon, MacDon-
aid and Flint, the alienists, and six
other insanity experts entirely new to
the case had a long conference with
the district attorney. Testimony given
by alienists for the defense was ex-
amined closely by the experts under
Mr.. Jerome's direction.
The statement credited Friday to
Howard Nesbit to the effect that the
countess of Yarmouth hoped to bring
about a separation of Harry K. Thaw
and his wife was denied Saturday by
Mrs. George L. Carnegie, one of
Thaw's sisters. Mrs, Carnegie was
quoted as saying that none of her
family desires divorce or separation
of any kind, and that Thaw would
not consent to it if they did want it.
She declared that the statement that
her sister, the countess of Yarmouth,
had said she would not return to Eng.
land until Thaw and his wife were
separated was false The position of
the Thaw family, she added, was clear
ly outlined by the elder Mrs. Thaw,
who called on Miss Nesbit before she
was married and gave her consent to
the marriage.
Almost Sure to Call Young Wife.
District Attorney Jerome passed the
recess time in preparing his plan of
rebuttal. 1t seems almost certain that
he will recall Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
to the stand and thus make witness
for the prosecution, too. He caused
her to be served with a subpoena Fri
day. Mr.. Jerome wants her to bring
to court certain letters which Stan
ford White wrote to her, and which he
believes are still in her possession.
When she was on the stand she was
very doubtful about whether the let
tiers were still in existence.
Mr.. Jerome may confront her with
the testimony of her brother, Howard
Nesbit, and may ask her to explain
how she forgot to mention posing for
certain photographs and a statue
which are said to be not so conven-
tional as those she spoke of in her
previous testimony.
Delmas Guest of DR.. Evans.
Mr.. Delmas went to New Jersey Fri
day night and was the guest of DR..
Britton D. Evans, one of the defense's
alienists, over Sunday. He is particu-
larly fond of sleighing, and devoted
most of his time to that spot. The
other counsel for the defense also
went out of town over Sunday.
When the trial is resumed on Mon
day morning it will be five weeks
since the actual taking of testimony
began, and seven weeks since the
case was first called in court. The
expense, both to the state and the
defense has been very heavy, particu-
larly to the defense AS an instance.
it may be mentioned that DR.. Britton
d. Evans, the principal alienist, is re-
ported as receiving 5000 a day; DR..
Charles G. Wagner $3.50 day and Dr..
Graeme NJ Hammond and DR.. Smith
Ely Jelliffe 500 day each.

Road Funds Apportioned.

st. Paul-The state highway com-
mission has effected the distribution
of the state highway fund. The attor-
ney general has decided that no appro-
priation can be made by the commits
sion except for expenditure on state
highways designated as such by county
boards. Counties which have not COM
piled with the law providing for de-
signation of state roads in the appor-
tionment received only the minimum.
and this is held in trust for them until
they shall designate a state highway.
The number of counties failing to de-
signate state highways is 35, which
have received the minimum of $500
each. The other counties received
amounts varying from $500 to the
maximum of $1,000. In making the
distribution, the areas of each county
and the expense of road construction
incident to development of new terri
tory is given full weight

ELECTRICIANS OUT; PARIS DARK.
Strike of Workmen Works Hardship
to French Capital.

Paris March 1.-THE strike of cleo
tricians assumed Saturday a serious
aspect. The men employed by the two
remaining independent companies
went out. Unless the dispute is set
tied Immediately it is feared the work
men of the gas company and the en-
ployes of the Metropolitan Under
ground railroad, on which the majority
OF the population relies for transporta.
ton, will leave their work in sympathy
with the strikers.
Not since the siege of Paris in 1870
has the city been plunged in such
darkness as last night. The shutting
off OF the lights without a warning
aroused the most intense resentment.
The real cause of the dispute is the
city councils rejection of the plan for
the municipalization of the electric
plants of the city, the granting of a
new concession for % years to a pri-
vate company, and the subsequent re-
fusal OF the company to place it's en-
ployes on the footing of men employed
by the city in the matter of hours,
wages and pensions.
The electricians held meetings dur
ing the day and decided in favor of
continuing the strike. Not one of the
electrical plants was working Satur.
day. The president of the city coun.
Gil announced to deputation during
the afternoon that he was powerless
to break the deadlock, as neither the
employers nor the employed had re-
quested his intervention.
