No Delay.

The commission got under way with
rush this afternoon and plunged at
once into the personal examination of
the defendant. District Attorney Je-
rome protested at first that he was not
able 10 proceed, saying he would like
TO have his medical advisers present.
He finally stated he would have no oh
lection to the examination going for
ward providing ne was permitted to
reserve his cross-examination. The
commission forthwith settled the mat
ter of the presence of experts by ex-
Guiding them from the room along with
everyone else excep- the defendant and
his counsel. the district attorney and
Assistant District Attorney Garvan. As
to the crosS-eXamiRatiOn by the district
attorney. the commission said the mat
ter would be taken up when it was
reached.

him In conversational tone and in q
casual manner, as though he were in con-
ference with them. and asked him from
time to time to explain incidents in the
trial which had called forth certain of the
letters placed before the commission by
Thaws attorneys. 1t was said that Thaw
answered the questions calmly and went
into lengthy explanations of some of the
notes he had addressed to Mr. DeImas

Inquiry Limited.

The most important feature of the
DAY s proceedings was the decision of
Ihe commission TO limit the scope of
It's inquiry Ia the exact language of the
statute-to determine solely the ques-
ton as to whether or not Harry Thaw
Is able today to understand the nature
OF the court proceedings against him
and Is able to advise his counsel i'm
rational manner. District Attorney Je-
rome announced to the commission that
all of the legal experts he had emploVed
in the case had advised him that Thaw
Is suffering from typical case of para
hola, 4 disease of the mind in which the
recoveries are limited to or 8 per cent.
lie offered 20 adduce testimony to SUD-
port this statement, but the commits
sion waived it aside, saying the pur-
pose of the inquiry was a very simple
one and had TO do. not with any CLASH
nCdtIon of mental diseases, but with
the prisoners present state of mind as
judged by laymen.
In laying down this decision the COM
mission confronted the district attor-
ney with the very position he has
maintained in putting Thaw on trial for
his life. Mr.. Jerome contends that
Thaw was suffering from paranoia on
the night of June p last when he shot
and killed Stanford White. but he
added that paranoiacs often had knowl-
edge of what they are doing and that
Thaw knew the nature and quality of
MS act in killing White and knew that
the act was wrong. Thus, while med
zeal experts may determine today that
Thaw is still suffering from paranoLa.
the question to which the lunacy COM
mission has decided to confne itself
deals solely with Thaws knowledge as
to The proceedings against him and his
ability to advise his lawyers.

EPISCOPAL DlVINES COMING

NEW YORK, Aug. 1o.-The Right Rev.
DR.. Henry Montgomery, secretary of the
society for the propagation OF the gospel,
has accepted the invitation sent him by
the presiding bishop of the American
church to attend the Episcopal church
convention, which will be held in Rich
mond, Va. I'm October. AS was announced
some time ago Rev. DIR. A. F. w. In
graham, the bishop OF London. will come
to America for the Richmond convention,
as also will the Right Rev. DR.. Edgar
Jacobs, the bishop of st. Albans.
The general convention in the autumn
will commemorate the 30Oth anniversary
of the founding Of the Episcopal church
In America. Most of early religious work
In the colonies was done under the jurs-
diction Of the diocese OF London and St.
Albans. so that It is especially appropriate
that the present occupants of those sees
should attend the convention. 1t also is
equally appropriate that the secretary of
the oldest missionary society in England
should be at this meeting OF the general
convention, not only because the conven-
tion would be missionary convention
predominately, but also because OF the
great help which the society for the propa-
CATION of the gospel gave to the early
church in America

the residence of Mrs Sinclair Wemyss was
broken into by g tramp, who is believed
TO have been a German nationality, while
the family was at dinner, The first to dis

after a great struggle was knocked down
and rendered unconscious. Two other
servants attracted by the noise were also
attacked by the tramp. and during the
scufie the daughter of the house, 1s years
old rushed out of the dining room, and
at once took a patent fire extinguisher,
which was hanging on the wall from its
hook and squirted the chemical contents
into the face of the burglar.
The man, utterly unnerved by this unex-

he was blinded for life gave one shrek and
bolted out OF the front door. He was how

interviewed concerning his churchly

Every ten years the Methodists hold an

my scheme will already be accomplished.
It will be a great day for Methodsm,
predict, for in the same year our great
hall at Westminster built upon the site OF
the old Aquarium will be opened as the
worlds headquarters OF the Methodist
church.
MY proposition calls for the establish
ment OF what might be called a vast Free
masonry OF Methodsm at least so far as
the universal brotherhood features are con-
cerned And practically 1 propose that the
church should deal with emigration prob
lens, the crisis of unemployment and the
encouragement of thrift by a worldwide
Methodist organization. Many OF the things
that have suggested have been received
with grave and well-considered approba-
tion by the leaders of our church. Our
