This inquiry is to be for the courts
own guidance. Jerome offered to give
Justice Fitzgerald all the inforrna-
ton he believes would help the trial.

Pending the Application for Lun-
acy Commission.
New York, March 22.-Justice

tives were in court. Justice Fitzger-
aid allowing this privilege and Thaw
appeared happy at the presence Of his

conduct.
An adjournment was taken until
Wednesday. Neither Delnas nor
Gleason was present an6 it is under

afternoon 1t contains afhdavits by
his attorneys, De1mas, McPike and
Gleason and Alienists Evans, Wagner,
Jelliffe, Hammond and Shields and
large number Of notes written by
Thaw directing the continuance of his
case.
All the attorneys and alienists who
made affidavits assert that in their opin-
ion Thaw is sane today. There are IL
letters and notes from Thaw to his
lawyers. There are eight notes writ
ten in the court room by ThaW max
ing suggestions to his attorneys and
all these documents are written IN
more coherent form than any of
Thaw's missives thus far figuring in
the case. DR.. George Franklin

anined Thaw only yesterday and that
he was fully competent to advise his
counsel. A clerk from Delmas' Office
fled the ahidavits.
One reason advanced for not want
ing the commission is that it is firm
ly believed the commission must find
Thaw sane and this might influence
their opinion as to his sanity on June
25. 1906, when he killed White.

Alexandra, Va, April 1O.-Mayor Paff
to-day received a letter from Oswald
Tilghman, secretary of state of Mary
land. in which acknowledgment was made
in behalf of Gov. Warfeld OF the receipt
Of a letter from the mayor, April ], direct
ing attention to the existence of an al
legged gambling establishment on the Po-
tomac, near Alexandria, but within the
territorial waters Of Prince George
County, Nd. The mayor was informed
that the governor had referred the mat
ter to the sheriff of Prince George County.
and that proper steps would be taken to
break up the gambling den"
In his communication Mayor Paff
briefly detailed the conditions under
which the business on the ark, near Jones
Point, is conducted referring to the
/ transportation Of gamblers between the
place and this city. He asked that meas
ures be adopted for the suppression Of the
nuisance
The mayor said this evening that he
| had called upon the Maryland authOri-
ties in the belief that they have practi-
cally the exclusive jurisdiction in the
case. He expressed grave doubts as 20
the power Of the Alexandra officials TO
| interfere directly in the matter. holding
that, in any event, as the houseboat is
anchored in Maryland waters, the initia-
/ tive should be taken by the Maryland
| instead of the Virginia authorities. He
/ had, he said, received many complaints
/ from representative citizens, asking him
| 20 take some steps 10 break up the con-
Germ. Some OF those who discussed the
subject with him emphasized the impOr-
| lance of interfering in the interest OF the
many young Alexaudrians who join the
crowds from Washington that are con-
veyed to and from the resort on Sundays
/ As to the emDarkation and landing OF
/ the patrons Of the h0useboat at Alexan-
/ dria. and the question OF the prevention
/ of the practice, the mayor said that, I'M
/ der local conditions. ne knew of no au-
thority whereby the police could interfere
! The crowds are transported on the big tug
Bartholdi. which lies at a wharf at the
/ foot of King street. Some time ago the
police collected the names Of a number OF
Aiexandrians who frequeuted the ark, but
| at that time no further action was taken.
/ The business has taken fresh interest
with the opening of enlarged and inn
proved quarters.

sun SPOT NUMBER THREE
Active Times for Solar Outbursts.
Astronomers Say.
DR.. Mitchell, of Columbia, Tells OF
of Smoked Glass.

New York. April 10.-Dr. s. A. Mitchell
an astronomer at Columbia University.
observed to-day another huge spot on the
sun. This is the third appearance Of the
kind within two months. and serves to
strengthen the belief among astronomers
that the present period is one of unusual
solar activity.
According 10 DR.. Mitchell, the suns sur
face is dotted with spots Of varying in
tensity and size. Near the suns meridian.
he discovered one particularly large and
interesting spot, which seems TO be the
center of the disturbance. II Is as large
as the one discovered by Prof. Brashear.
of Allegheny. on February Is. With the
aid OF a piece Of smoked glass, the central
spot is clearly visible, while it requires
only a small telescope 10 disclose a multi
tude Of others.
Considering that the period of sun spot
frequency is long past. said DR.. Mitchell.
'it is hard 10 account for the remarkable
Occurrence of spots at this time. Observa-
tlons OF the solar spectrum show clearly
that the temperature of the spots them
selves is considerably lower than that Of
other portions OF the sun
When asked if the unreasonable weather
conditions of the last few days could be
attributed to the PRESENCE of sun spcts,
DR.. Mitchell replied. No" Some electri-
cal storms were, however likely to take
place, he said.

DECIDES IN BANKS FAVOR.
Court of Appeals AfirmS Verdict OF
Lower Tribunal Against Railroad.

G3tcLAl 70 ms washington Herald.
Richmond, Va, April 10.-The case of
the Oxford and Coast Line Railway
Company against the Union Bank, of
this city, was again decided by the
Circuit Court of Appeals to-day in
favor of the bank. This decision finally
settles this litigation. which, in recent
years, has grown famous because Of
the number of times 1t has been before
the court.
The township of Oxford. n. c.. re-
pudiated its bonds, which had been is
sued to aid in building a railroad. On
account of the bonds not being issued
in conformity with the laws of the
State Of North Carolina the courts
have heretofore held that the county
could not be required to pay the same.
The Union Bank, which was the holder
Of $4,000 worth Of the bonds, then
brought suit against the railroad from
which it had purchased them.
The lower court at the first trial held
against the recovery, but on an appeal
from this decision the Circuit Court OF
Appeals reversed the decision of the
lower court. and on the second trial the
lower court awarded damages against
the railroad for some $4,000. It is
against this latter judgment that the
railroad brought the case again before
the Circuit Court of Appeals for re-
view.

quired. Here women are preferable 10

Because" he answered. 1T is a fact,
commented on by many. among them
Prof Munsterberg. of Harvard. that the
deplorable tendency toward Termination
is becoming more pronounced in our pub

sending out OF "a statement quoting Prof

Change in Female Colleges.
Celebrating upon his views. Prof. Selig-
man said:
In the leading female colleges, where
the acme Of perfection in the higher edu-
cation of women is sought. women teach
ers are being steadily replaced by men.
In Vassar. Barnard, Smith and other
leading colleges, it is only question Of a
short time before entire elimination will
have taken place, and this viii have been
brought about because of no other reason
than the increased salaries.
You see no women in the public
schools of Germany, France and many
other continental countries. ana the pres
ence of women in our schools was noted
and regretted by the educational delega-
lions 20 this country during the late expo
sition."
