ment upon the results of his long
trip of inspection in the orient. 1t is
probable that the completion of this
task will consume all of the remain
ing years of Gen. MacArthur's active
service. His successor in command
of the Pacific division has not yet
been named and it is probable that in
view Of the approaching abolition of
the military division plan and the re-
turn to the old system of department
command no designation will be made
at present.
Gen. Macarthur has been stationed
at San Francisco for the last four
years. He went there as commander
of the department of California; two
years later he was made commander

SOUTHERN PACIFIC OVERLAND

Twenty-six Are Dead-Muncie, Ind,

trous wreck on the Southern Pacific
occurred one and one-half miles east
Of this town Thursday afternoon, when
the west bound Sunset express from
New Orleans for San Francisco ran
into an open switch while going at
the rate Of 40 miles an hour, and ten
of the IA coaches were derailed with
frightful results. Twenty-six people
are known to have been killed, and
the final list probably will total much
higher than that number. The injured
number about 100, many of whom are
seriously hurt and may die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled
in every direction. Four of them
we're smashed into splinters. Most Of
the dead were Italians from New York
and New Orleans, going to San Fran
cisco. They occupied the smoker and
day coach.
Two Americans Killed.
But two Americans are known to
have been killed, although several of
those among the injured will probably
die within few hours.
George L. Sharpe, of Muncie, Ind,
was instantly killed. The baggageman
Of the train, whose name has not
been ascertained, was also killed
Engineer Clarence E. Wormington and
Fireman Victor Crebb both jumped,
but failed to get clear, and were
caught in the wreckage. They were
terribly burned and scalded. John
Golden, the train conductor, was in
the Pullman section of the train and
escaped injury.
Switch Was Left Open.
The derailment of the train was
caused by the crew of a switch engine
leaving a switch open. 1t is said that
the engine passed through the switch
few minutes before the Overland ap-
peared A switchman named Nor
rison was in the yard. After the
switch engine had passed on to an
other track the engineer asked the
fireman if he had re-thrown the switch.
The fireman recalled that he had neg
lected to do so, and the engineer
whistled frantically for Morrison to
close it. The signal was not given in
time, as Morrison did not reach the
switch before the Overland had
plunged through and been derailed

volvers, and as Nichols had a weapon
he drew it and opened fire. The ban

his revolver after them, but without

that their victim was unarmed, re-

Guard Says Thaw Appeared Sane.

New York, April Harry K.
Thaw was under examination for two,
hours and so minutes Saturday by
the commission in lunacy appointed
to inquire into his present state of
mind, and when, at 1:15 p. m., a 25
minute recess was taken it was an
nounced that his ordeal was nearly

District Attorney Jerome, after the
luncheon recess of the commission,
was permitted to cross-examine Harry
Thaw for three-quarters of an hour.
after which the executive session was
dissolved and the door of the court
room thrown open. AS soon as this
action was taken DR.. Allan McLane
Hamilton was called to the stand and
sworn
Thaw appeared perfectly calm
after his long ordeal of questioning by
the members of the commission and
by District Attorney Jerome. He sat
facing the commission and between
Attorneys Peabody and Hartridge.
DR.. Hamilton's Testimony Barred.
DR.. Hamilton's examination was
taken up by District Attorney Jerome.
The physician said he had known
Thaw for two or three years.
During that time did you have
any conversations with him?" asked
Mr.. Jerome.
Mr.. Hartridge at once objected on
the ground that DR.. Hamilton had
been a physician in the employ of
Thaw, and that was barred from tes-
tifying.
The commission seemed about to
decide in favor of Mr.. Hartridge when
District Attorney Jerome asked:
Are your honors going to rule with
out hearing me?''
"No, you will be heard" said Chair
man Mcclure.
Mr. Jerome said the professional
privilege was waived by the defense
in the Thaw case when DR.. Hamilton
was offered as witness by the de-
fense's attorneys during the last four
days of the trial. The commission
decided it would have to be it's own
guide as to allowing DR.. Hamilton to
testify.
Mr.. Jerome was allowed to put this
| question::
Doctor, are you able to state now
your opinion as to whether or not
this defendant is capable of rightfully
understanding his own condition, of
comprehending the nature of the pro-
ceedings against him and of nationally
advising his counsel?'
Mr.. Hartridge objected.
Chairman Mcclure asked DR.. Ham
ilton if such opinion would be based
on his professional relations with the
defendant.
'Partly so," said the witness.
Exclude what you learned in your
professional capacity, and then an
swer the question: said Mr.. Jerome.
Dr. Hamilton said he could not
wholly exclude all the facts learned
in his professional capacity
'That being the case said Chair
man Mcclure, ''and no professional
privilege having been waived before
this commission the witness can not
answer"

They reached the spot just as the

Tombs Physician Called.

Tonbs Physician Called.
DR.. Hamilton thereupon was ex-
cused and DR.. Jackson R. Campbell, a
former Tombs physician, was called.
DR.. Campbell said he had been en-
ployed last Wednesday by Thaws
counsel to examine Thaw and saw
him in the Tombs last Thursday and
Friday
DR.. Campbell was asked by the
chairman to confine his testimony to
time previous to his employment by
Thaw's counsel The witness said he
still acted as Tombs physician when
DR.. Mcclure, the regular physician,
is i'll. He had seen Thaw many
times since his incarceration in the
Tombs.
Were his actions rational or IRA
tional?" asked Chairman Mcclure.
Rational replied the witness.
DR.. Campbell said he had noticed
nothing unusual in Thaw's conduct.
He watched him for an hour on one
occasion and during that time Thaw
swung his arms in exercise several
times
Replying to question asked by Mr..
Hartridge, DR.. Campbell said he had
not exactly been employed by the de-
fense to visit Thaw, but had been re-
quested to visit the prisoner after a
casual meeting with Attorney O'Reil-
ly. He had also been requested to
get from DR.. Mcclure any notes the
Tomb's physician may have made as
to Thaw's conduct while in prison.
DR.. Campbell was cross-examined
closely by Mr.. Jerome as to the ma
ture of his employment by Mr.
O'Reilly. DR.. Campbell said he was
to receive remuneration for testifying
and visiting the prisoner.
Prison Guard Testifies.
ThaW's personal prison guard
George S. Spelman, told the commits
sion he had observed nothing unusual
in ThaW's conduct.

Don't Ask for Money,

st. Paul-Thirty-f five counties in the
state have not yet secured their share
Of the money apportioned by the state
highway commission for good roads.
The law provides that the county COM
missioners Of each county shall desig-
nate a state road upon which the
money is to be expended and they can
not secure the money until this is
done The tkirty-fve counties that
have not yet reported are in the
southern part of the state where the
roads are better than those in the
northern part.
George w. Cooley of the state high
way commission is compiling figures
for the public road Office at Washing
ton showing the amount of money ex-
pended each year for roads in the
state. He has been two years getting
together his statistics and has COM
pleted the compilation for 1904. In that
year $1,951, 1924 was spent for roads
in Minnesota. Mr. Cooley estimates
that the expenditure for this purpose
in 1906 was $2,500,000.
