Believed Trial
Will Be Resumed
Early Next Week
THAW REMAINS COOL AND
CALM DURlAG ORDEAL

NEW YORK. March ao.-From pres
ent indications the trial of Harry
Thaw for killing Stanford White viii
be resumed early next week, possi-
bly, on Monday. at the point where It
was interrupted by District Attorney
Jerome with his demand for lunacy
commission. Thaw's Examination yes
terday iy the l,inacy board was such,
1t Is believed, as to have about con-
WINGED the examiners that he is per
fectly sane. within the meaning Of the
statute, that he has knowledge Of his
position and able to advise with coun-
sci. Thaw's lawyers are enthusiastic
and believe he will also make good
showing when he again appears before
the commission tomorrow and are
confident the commission will report
Thaw sane ON Monday when the jury
will meet again. While yesterdays
proceedings were behind closed doors
II was asserted to-day that rhaw an
swered every question put to him IN
an apparently rational manner and re-
manned cool and calm under the or.
deal. DR.. Mcclure. the Tombs physi-
clan, Warden Flynn. and iailers ana
attendants at the Tombs are witness
es These men, It is asserted. are all
convinced of Thaws' sanity and will
50 tell the board. It is more than like
ly that Evelyn and Thaw's mother win
be examined. but 1t VIII only be as to
Thaw's manner and conversations with
them since his imprisonment. While
II is admitted in Jerome,s ofiice that
Thaw's answers were for athe most
part coherent Il is claimed his man.
|ner was such as to give the board good
ground to doubt his sanity.
After a visit to the Tombs this
morning, Lawyer Peabody announced,
Harry is feeling fine. never saw
him look more At for any kind of an
emergency Peabody declined to dis.
cuss the plans OF the defense. 1t was
stated, however, that Delmas is pre-
pairing actively to go with the case
Monday. so confident are Thaw's law
yers that the commission will fiie a
report favorable TO Thaw at that time.

DOCTOR FIkEDIAND
GOMPLIMENTED
LAWYER TOLD TO GO NO FUR
TIER WHEN He MENTIONED
SOCIAL REBEL

PARKERSBURG, March 29-"From
the evidence adduced here 1t is my
duty to discharge Samuel Atkinson
and Or. Murphy and owing to the fact
that Dr. Charles Monroe has pleaded
guilty I believe 1t my duty to assess 8
fine," said Recorder Leonard when the
witnesse in the cases of Parkersburg
versus the three men who became en-
tangled while DR.. Monroe was trying
to get at Fritz Merrick at Fifth and
Market streets, gave their testimony.
However," continued the recorder,
there are cases wherein human ma.
ture crises even above the law and
wherein a man has the right to ex.
coed the law, because no man should
be permitted to disturb the dead.
While DR.. Monroe has pleaded guilty
and ] must assess a fine of 81 and
costs will remit the fine, for there
are cases where any man certainly
has a right TO protect the memory or
the dead and especially would it seem
so in this case where a son sought TO
protect the character of his mother"
Sympathy With Monroe.
The decision>of Recorder Leonard
was not. censured by the large crowd
in the court room. The evidence did
not show that DR.. Murphy and Sam At.
ktnson had engaged in fight. DR..
Charles Monroe freely acknowledging
that he started the trouble and was
not sure that either Murphy or Atkin.
son struck at him. Sympathy was
plainly with the young dentist, how
ever and there was much feeling evil
denced while he was giving his testi-
mony.
Hardly had Recorder Leonard deliv.
cred his decision until Attorney Fl.
w. Houston, socialist, and defender of
Atkinson and Murpny, arose and start
ed an address to the court. He did
not get very far along before he was
interrupted by DR.. W. w. Monroe and
1t looked much as If another fight was
on. Mr.. Houston thanked the court
and then said he was sorry that the
disturbance on the street had ever oc.
Cured.

At this iuncture the elder DIR. Mon.

tomey to keep his mouth shut and
not dare to make reference to that pa.
per. DR.. Monroe at the same time
started at the attorney with his trusty
cane raised high in the air and there

Young Dr. Monroe had already
rushed up to the attorney and few
more utterances from the latter would
have precipltated q quarrel of more
consequence than those OF Tuesday
night. The recorder finally told Mr..
Houston If he had anything to say
that he must go out of the court room
and the Drs. Monroe went out to near
It, but Mr., Houston did not follow
them.

Kind of welcome when he invaded

coming to Fairmont TO arouse as much
interest as has been occasioned by
the coming of Lieutenant Peary. but
Lieutenant Peary himself is. an .un.

experiences. The editor Of the Nor.

interview with him which Is both in.
structive and entertaining and we
give space to 1t for the benefit Of our
readers. The Chronicle says:
Lieutenant Peary is one Of the most
entertaining lecturers who ever visit.
ed Morgantown. He has good voice
and his subject is well in hand. Yet,
in order to appreciate the man at his
best It is necessary to meet him of
the lecture platform. His friendlinsss
and his simplicity have a charm that
cannot be surpassed
After the lecture Wednesday even.

guest at the home of General and Mrs
James g. Frazer In South Park, met

and couple Of very pleasant hours
were spent A representative. of the
Chronicle obtained an interview with
the famous explorer. He entered most
willingly into details Of his northern
experiences, giving many. important
facts not more than touched upon in
his lecture He had spoken of the
musk oxen on the northern coast Of
Greenland feeding on willow brush.
When asked concerning the climate

KEEL. Aug. 12.-The races between the
German yachts OF the sender class and
the Chewink VIII, Marblehead, and
Spokane 1. American yachts, began to-
lay.
There is a lack Of confidence among
The American yachtsmen because Of the
suild OF their boats. The German boats
we're built for Baltic conditions and
stand a better show OF speed. The sug-
Eestions for sailing rules drafted by
Henry Howard. of Boston. were ac-
cepted by the Germans In entirety.
Prince Henry yesterday sailed the
Spokane I for a couple of hours. Her
American crew were surprised at his
ability. The prince got as much out Of
the boat as did those who knew her
After the races the Americans will be
royalty entertained. They will be the
guests of the various yacht clubs In
different cities. will visit and dine with
the Emperor, and will witness the army
maneuvers. The Emperor will present
the trophy, which is a large oval silver
bowl. nearly three feet in length, and

CUBS WORKING
TO DISTANCE
FORMER RECORD

While the Chicago Cubs are winning
the National League pennant, they may
be making a new worlds record that
will stand for years.
So far this season the team has won
twenty-one shUt-out games. The Cubs
are sure pennant winners. The Pirates
have little, very little, hope of beating
them out, and the New York Giants
have none at all
Last season the Cubs established
new record in the matter of the number
of games won in a single season Their
record was Il6, and IL is called a worlds
record although the fact remains that,
proportionately, a better showing was
made by the Pirates several years ago,
when they won almost that many games
and played but 40. while Chicago played
156 games last season.
The Cubs are trying hard to distance
the mark they set last year. To date
they have played % games and have
won 73 of them. To equal last year S
mark they must win 80 more games out
of the 55 more that remain 70 be PLAYED
But II is along another line that they
may establish a new record. and this is
In regard TO shut-out victories To date
Chicago has figured in twenty-nine
games, in which either they or their
opponents were unable to score a single
run. or these they won tWenty-one and
lost eight
