Pennsylvania fourteen years ago.
When he retired four years ago his
public service In the house extended
over the longest period of any man
who ever sat In that body.
In 1864 he came within one vote OF
being nominated for vice president In
place OF Andrew Johnson, who became
president.
Mr.. Grows greatest public service
was as the father of the homestead
law, through which measure many
million acres Of Western farm lands
were opened to settlement by home
steaders. an act which has been credit
ed with doing more than any other
thing for the development Of the great
West.

THAW's ATTORNEYS REST.
viii Offer No Further Testimony n
Lunacy Hearing.

New York, April 2.-Counsel for
Harry X Thaw announce that the
Thaw side rests so far as further tes-
timony by their side Is concerned be-
fore the lunacy commission The de-
fense believes that this will help TO
bring this hearing to close shortly
and that the trial, delayed for more
than a week by the movement to de-
termine Thaw's sanity at the present
time, can be Immediately resumed
The defense assumes, OF course, that
the commission will find that Thaw Is
now sane. In fact, they are supreme
ly confident of such an outcome, has
Ing their opinion on the splendid
showing Thaw is said to have made
when questioned by the commission
ers.
District Attorney Jerome does not
share the opinion Of the defense that
the commission will conclude It's hear
ing In another day. He said the de-
fense was assuming too much and ex-
pressed the belief that several days
would elapse before the commission
reported. Mr.. Jerome believes that
the commission will hear his alienists
and he hopes. besides, that the testi-
mony of DR.. Allan McLane Hamilton
will be admitted. There is no doubt
that the hearing will be prolonged II
the states alienists are allowed to
testify as fully as Mr.. Jerome wishes
them to do, but the defense's lawyers
believe that they will only be permit
ted to tell what they think OF Thaw's
present condition and facts OF the dis
tant past, on which most OF their con-
clusions are based, will be eliminated.

Washington, April 2.-Secretars
Taft may abandon his proposed TRIP
to the Philippines this fall. His polit-

Washington will urge him to foregc

Whether the secretary will give UP
his trip remains to be seen. Mr..
Taft's friends are thoroughly aroused
and propose to push his presidential

State Law Goes Into Effect and VIII
Be Enforced.

Helena, Mont, April 2.-The anti
gambling law became effective Mon
day and all games were closed
throughout the state, even the slot

issued instructions that the law must

vides for the recovery Of losses either
by loser or relatives. This is the first
time since 1868 that public gambling

To ReyOIutiOnize the Methods,

A bill, which if passed, will revo- lutionize the methods of conducting pententiary affairs in Arkansas, was introduced in the house today by Mr. Ruff of Randolph county The bill pro vides that after May ]. 1907, the con- vict farm in Lincoln county, shall be the "pententiary of Arkansas to which all convicts shall be sent when convicted, and that the board of pen
 tentiary commissioners shall cause the offices of the penitentiary officials to be removed to the farm. The bill prohibits the board from leasing or hiring out convicts or from renewing existing leases. It also prohibits the guarding of white prisoners by ne- groes. An appropriation of $5,000 is made for the erection of separate stockades for whites and negroes, hospital and bathing house. The bill in effect would cause the abandonment of both the old and new penitentiaries in Little Rock.
