v1ded court, voting four to three, the

ment Of the court below to the effect

Western Railroad Attorneys Hold Con.
ference at Chicago. -
Chicago, March 1.-The Western
railroads have determined to fight in
the courts all state laws making 2
cents mile the maximum passenger
rate. Attorneys of several of the larg-
est roads held conference here with
q view to having all roads pursue the
same policy as to litigation over the
cents a mile rate.
The plan now generally favored is
10 ask the courts to restrain the en-
1orcement of the law on the ground
that a rate of cents a mile would
cause the railroads a heavy loss and
IN many cases would require them to
run trains at less than the actual op'
Grating expenses, regardless Of the
axed charges, taxes and other obliga"
lions of the roads, Of which they
claim the passenger traffic should as.
sumo share.

crossexamination of DR.. Britton u.
Evans, the alienist for the defense
In the Thaw trial, who had declared
that Harry K. Thaw was suffering

Evans was succeeded on the stand by
DR.. Charles G.. Wagner of Binghamp-
ton, N. Y, also an alienist for the de-
tense, and his cross-examination was
begun.
Mr.. Jerome drew important admts-
sions from DR.. Evans to the effect
that Thaw had knowledge of what he
was doing the night Of the tragedy.
The witness, however, characterized 1t
Is insane knowledge. Mr.. jerome
piled question after question predi-
Gated upon Thaw's actions subsequent
to the shooting and asked If they did
not indicate that the defendant knew
what he was about. DR.. Evans ex-
planned that he believed that the brain
storm had cleared up Immediately
after the shooting and that Thaw's
scattered senses had begun to read
just themselves even before he left
the roof garden.
DR.. Wagner used the present tense
In replying to question by the dis
trict attorney as to the form Of Thaws
insanity, saying he believed the de-
PENDANT lis suffering" from symptoms
allied to two forms of insanity-one
tending to melancholia and the other
to dementia. Thaw's attorneys made
no move to correct the witness.

NO UNUSUAL SCENES MARK THE
LAST HOURS OF THE FIFTY.
NINTH CONGRESS-
Democratic Senators Continue Their
Fight on the Ship Subsidy Bill to
the End and Friends Of the Measure
Withdraw it-Regulation Of Work.
Ing Hours Of Railroad Employees the
Last Law Enacted.

Washington, March 1.-THE Fifty
ninth congress was ended at II o'clock
noon. according to the declarations of
the presiding officers OF the senate
and house, although the clocks in the
former marked 1918 p. m. and in the
latter 1915 p. m. The delay was
occasioned by slight error in the
enrolment of the railway employees

last measure to reach the president.
According to custom, when congress
is dying, the president, his cabinet
and the White House staff occupied
the presidents chamber In the senate
wing in order to facilitate the handling
Of business incident to the closing of
the session.
No scenes out of the ordinary &C.
CURED in either branch Of congress.
In the house the members sang and
told stories and boisterously filed in
the last hours. General Grosvenor
CO.,, who retires from the house, was
presented with handsome silver
service by his colleagues of the Fifty.
ninth congress. In the senate the
: proceedings were entirely decorous.
Senator Gallinger withdrew the ship
subsidy bill and therefore the flibus-
ter against 1t was not continued to
the end, as had been anticipated. The
conference report on the bill regulat-
ing the hours of service of railway
employees was agreed to. Resolutions
were adopted thanking Vice President
Fairbanks and Speaker Cannon for
their unvarying impartiality and re-
sponses were made by those presiding
officers just prior to their letting fall
the gavels which adjourned the con-
gress sine die.
| The galleries of both houses were
crowded and by order of the sergeant
alarms the visitors were permitted
to occupy all Of the space available as
standing room. The floors of the
chambers, in the rear of the seats Of
members, were filled with committee
clerks and other employees at the
Capitol.

visitors unrestrainedly applauded with
cheers and handclapping and then
followed the exchange of farewells by
the members.

The papers north and south are teeming with comment favorable on Senator Daniels as an available can. didate for president. Personal opin- ion has also been very generally quot ed on the same subject of which the statement of Forrest w. Brown, a prominent lawyer of Charleston, w Va, is fair sample: "The senator can have the delegation from West Virginia any time he wants it., for West Virginia is in the south again, as far as its realization that Senator Daniel would make an admirable can didate is concerned. If nominated. he would run very strong in the state, for he is regarded as a clean and able man and representative of both the old and new south. He would run strong in my part of the state, We would like to see Senator Daniel nom- mated for the presidency and the tariff revised"

 There is absolutely no excuse for the advance in the price of flour de- manded by millers in the northwest except as an occasion for undue pro- lit is given by the gambling antics in the wheat pit at Chicago. The wheat crop this year, even if 1t is damaged as much as pessimists aver, will more than supply all domestic demands and leave comfortable margin for export. Famine prices for flour un- der the circumstances are rather a sardonic comment on our vaunted prosperity.-New Britain Herald.
 Connecticut hotel proprietors are said to be awakening to the impor- tance of having better highways. To them automobiling, coaching and cy- cling, yes, and pedestrianism, means increased business.

 It is the habit of King Edward VI to invite to dinner on Derby day" the winner of the race, provided, as usually happens, the winner is a member of the Royal Jockey club and a person with whom the king is we'll acquainted. MT Croker, whose horse came in first this year, is not member of the Jockey club, or an acquaintance of the kings. There fore MT Croker was not snubbed when the king failed to ask him to dinner on Wednesday. The snub- ping of MT Croker occurred some time ago when the artistocratic mem bers of this English sporting society made it clear that they did not de- sire him to be one of their number.

 Labor spotters in Chicago now use cameras, according to the Tribune, which says: "The traditional union walking delegate with the red spot ted vest, the two-ounce diamond stud and the hoarse, impolite voice was re- placed yesterday by a slender, artis- tic looking person wearing flowing | tie and a mild demeanor and carrying | a snapshot camera under his arm" It seems that the delegate was made ! up to conform with the Chicago idea, which evidently requires that a cam- era man be gotten up with all the freak fixings which are supposed to an artistic genius from an ordinary mortal, and this goes to show just how crude the Chicago Idea really is.-Springfield Union.

It Is still preferred by many that the foundation skirt shall be of the same color as the frock. but of shade perhaps two or three darker than it. but. on the other hand. the contrasting foundations are wonderfully effective. A soft gray chiffon voile formed one of the pretty acquisitions to a recently arrived trousseau It was embroidered all around the bottom of the full plain skirt in a scattered flower design that employed several shades and tints. ranging from cloudy blue to soft rose pink. and 1t was worn over a founda- ton of old rose tareta. which some how had the effect of melting the col. ors into one another In 6 rayishIng manner.

CHICAGO, June 10.-By reason of the protracted cold weather Chicago is unable, as has been the custom, to sound its praises as a summer resort, but, nothing daunted by that fact, the jealous attention of the country ,is in- vited to city without a house fly, a mosquito or even kissing bug. The memory of the oldest inhabltant runs not to the year when Chicago was without swarms of files and clouds of mosquitoes, while 1t is on record that the first kissing bug was discovered here. But so far this season not fly, not mosquito, not kissing bug, not daddy long legs has made it's appear ance. Even the stockyards, more fa- miliarly known as ''the jungle" may be searched with a miscroscope with out a single specimen of the pests be- ing uncovered.

 SYRACUSE, N. Y, June 10.-Declar- ing that the courts, the national and state legislatures and government by the people were overridden by the pres ent administrations at Washington and Albany, Chancellor Day of Syracuse university in a baccalaureate sermon made vigorous and slightly yelled at- tack on President Roosevelt
 He said in part:
 "The distinction between the execu- tive, judicial and legislative order Is disappearing in a form of oligarchy named commissions, with an autocracy at It's head as tyrannical and supreme as the world ever has known, intrench- ed hundredfold by flying the banner of democracy.
 "The constitution Is a mere elas- tic band to hold the states in compact at the adjusting will of the chief ex. ecutive.
 Judges are rebuked. the inviolabili- ty of the courts is trampled under foot In the, name of the people. Judges ap- pointed by the president are sitting up- on cases in which he already has pass ed his opinion. Messages are sent to congress branding men as guilty before they are put on trial.

The factional fight in the republi-
 can ranks on the question of tariff
 revision is becoming more and more
 intensified. says a Washington writ
 er.. Secretary Taft has been denounc-
 ed as a free trader by MT Wakeman,
 the secretary of the Protective Tariff
 league, who says he therefore twill
 not bear the standard of the republi-
 can party next year." Since the
 Wakeman declaration Secretary Taft
 has come out openly for tariff revision
 thus defying the standpat faction of his party. We may presume that Sec retary Taft did not take this step without consulting President Roose- welt and that they agree that the time has arrived to hurl defiance at Wakeman, his Protective Tariff leag- ue and the standpatters generally. It will be interesting to see the line up that will follow and discover who is for revision and who is for letting we'll enough alone" As neither Sec retary Taft, nor President Roosevelt, or indeed any republican leader, has informed the people of the scheme of tariff reform they intend to support, 1t is impossible to say how far they intend to go in reducing the tariff rates that shelter and protect the trusts. All republican utterances on tarif revision, so far, have limited any proposed reform to do nothing that will imperil the policy of pro- tection" and the last four republican national conventions have reafirmed our allegiance to the policy of pro- .ection.'

Although the United States treas
 ury claims to have on May 2S bal
 ance of s367,0ss.64s, besides the
 trust funds to redeem outstanding certificates. yet in reality there is but a working balance" of s65,0S3,s44 of free cash to pay the debts and run ming expenses of the government.
 For of the amount reported on hand must be deducted current liabilities which are reported on the same day to be s11s.3ss,Os0 and nearly four million more in the Philippine treas ury and awaiting reimbursement. Then there was on the same date s1sS,246,s77 deposited in the nation al banks, which if called for suddenly could not be paid or if paid would so reduce the money on hand in many of the banks as to produce a panic. On or before July the treasury will have to redeem s42.313.7O0 of the four per cent bonds due on that day, s74.441,s50 having been redeemed or refunded by another issue. If the matter of paying of these bonds was treated as business men pay their liabilities the owners of the bonds would be given cheeks on the banks that hold s1s3.24e.s77 of the govern ment money. upon which they are paying no interest. instead of issuing any new bonds. says one writer. On the day of the Wall street panic in March there was a working bal ance" of s1OO.7s7. 900 in the United States treasury which has been re- dueed to but a little over sixty-five million by increasing the deposits in the favored banks to help them out of the tight place they are in. Thus is the United States treasury mixed up with the doings of the frenzied fn- aneisrs of Wall street by the present reform administration. The AIdrieh bill passed by the last congress is re- sponsible for this and as 1t was pass ed by the republicans as a party measure they alone must explain uhy the banks were 50 favored at the en- Psnse of the people
