sumo all the responsibility. Daniel
O'Reilly of Thaw's counsel said today
that Thaw's counsel had nc doubt Of
being able to convince the court Of in
sanity of Thaw's sanity.

sci would submit an affidavit to the

trial and is now capable of advising
with his attorneys.

Wits regarding the Thaw lunacy COM
mission. Thaw was not in court.

FANS HAVE
AN INNING
ENTHUSIASTS GATHER TO GIVE
A GO TO THE BASEBALL
SEASON IN THIS CITY.
Barnett Team Decided Upon and Com
mittee Named to Select Uniform
Organization Formed With C. H.
Barnett as President and Fred
Cameron as Team Manager.

There was a meeting of baseball en-.
thusiasts at the Three Rules last night
about twenty-five being present, and
it was decided to organize the Barnett
baseball club, taking in some of the
best players in the city, and who are
to practice for the purpose of taking
the scalps Of any club that they may
go against during the season. The fol.
lowing officers were selected for the
organization:
President-C. H. Barnett.
Manager-Fred Cameron.
Secretary-R. H. McGaw.
Captain-Ralph Lasher.
Some of the best players in town
were at the meeting and a list Of
those willing to take place in the team
was made, but until a few practice
games the personnel Of the team will
not be announced. The club will prac-
tice on the grounds near the city park,
but it is expected that match games
will be played at the county fair
grounds. The first meeting for prac-
tice will be held Sunday afternoon, If
the weather will permit.
Favor Light Uniform.
The committee on uniform, consist.
ing Of Messrs. Barnett, William Lasher
and Fred Cameron, will take up the
matter Of uniforms without delay
There were several suggestions as to
the color Of the uniform, but the con
sensus of expression was that the uni
form should be light IN color, as II Is
sometimes difficult to distinguish the
first and third basemen from inc
crowds that gather about those corners
of the diamond, and a dark uniform
according to Manager Cameron, wouie
be to the disadvantage Of the can
work.

OF CAUTION.
Shown in Stock Market in Following
Up Advancing Tendency--Evi-
dence OF Easing Strain.

| New York, Nov, 27-The stocl
market displayed a spirit OF caution
III following up the advancing tend
ency which developed yesterday
Speculation showed a disposition Ia
balk at some efforts at stimulation
in the way of tips" and assertions OF
coming favorable developments re.
garding individual properties which
were found impossible of verification.
! The shyness manifested by the pro-
| fessional element in following these
tips" was due, in part, to the sus-
Twas percentible on the advance in
prices More was due, however, to
the fear of premature inducements
in speculative commitments before
relief of the general situation had
proved adequate. Confidence contin-
ued to grow in the progress of this re
lief Events in the progress OF amel
ioration from day to day are not inn
portant individually, but represent to-
gether a gradual accretion to the
fund of returning confidence which is
working surely towards the re-esta!J-
lishment of normal conditions One
of~the items to that end today was the
report that several Chicago savings
banks had sent a notice to depositors
waving the privilege of the present |
day limit for Withdrawals.
Evidence multiplied today Of the
easing of the money strain. The high
rate for call loans was per cent.
Only small sums Of currency We're
sold at premium today and the prem
um rate showed decidedly yielding
tendency. There was relaxation In
some interior markets in rates of ex-
change in New York, which marks the
iubsidence of one of the most embar
'assing features of the late crisis In
he securities market the improve
nent in the bond department was.
much more pronounced than in the

u excelletn auguary. The stock mar
ket continued irregular throughout,

ome stocks, notably Missouri Pacific. {

actor in this direction. IL
