A show of much spirit and determi

the young mems committee of the Y
NJ G. A. project in the Commercial
club rooms last evening. The reports
for the week were very good and as
much interest was shown as at the
beginning of the fight. Some of the
leaders at the beginning of the strug

taken their places to prosecute the bat
tie with as much strenuosity as ever.
during the past week and the con-
tention between them for superiority
will probably be the means of increas-
ing the fund more rapidly than at any
time during the entire campaign.
The revision that has been made on
the committees has greatly strength
ened them and the young men are be-
ginning to canvass in squads with
good results.

of the young mems squads which have

1t is understood on good authority
that a contribution of large size, per-

pect for the Y. NJ. c. A fund. but the
prospective donor thinks a greater
number of Richmond people should
do something for the cause. About
500 have so far subscribed and it is
argued that not fewer than 1,200 and
probably many more. should do
something.

ThAW MURDER TRIAL
Defense Brings Testimony to Try TO
Prove Insanity.

New fork,-The task Of proving to
jury that Harry X. Thaw was insane,
through heredity and mental stress.
when he shot and killed Stanford
White, was taken up Tuesday by the
defense in this famous case, but when
adjournment was announced later in
the afternoon it was the general opin-
ion In the court room that but little
progress had been made.
Thaw's attorneys had endeavored in
vain 10 place before the jury. evidence.
1t was said. to prove a strain OF in
sanity in the collateral branches of
the defendants family. but they were
blocked at every point by District At
fOrney jerome, whose objections were
upheld by the rulings of Justice Fitz-
gerald.
The defense did. however. get before
the twelve men in the box the testi-
mony OF an expert, that in his opinion
Harry Thaw was suffering from insan-
tty the night of the tragedy. Mr.. Je-
rome undertook to break down the evil
uence CT the alienist-Dr. c. c. Wiley
OF Pittsburg-and for three hours put
MIN through cross-eXamination as
severe as was ever heard in a New
YORK court. The prosecutor was re-
lentless in his attack, and before he
had finished, Doctor Wiley protest
ingly declared:
Il didn't come here as an expert.
came as witness to fact, and have
been converted into an expert without
being prepared for it."
The district attorney astonished
everyone by his intimate knowledge OF
medicine and its technical phraseol-
ogy, demonstrating the care with
which he had prepared himself to meet
the very defense which Thaw's coun-
Sci have entered in his behalf.

FEELING IN JAPAN.
So Strongly Favors the United States
That War Is Unthinkable.

= Tofto.-Baron Kaneko, formerly
special envoy to the United States, in
another statement made here, says
that war with the United States is un-
thinkable.
"The Japanese understand America
better than the Americans understand
Japan" he said. "A great majority OF
the men holding public positions here
were educated by American instructors
and have long studied American insti.
tutions. Now, through the press and
otherwise. they are helping the people
to appreciate the difficulty which the
federal government lies under in con-
trolling the action of the individual
states, After the first phase Of the Sc
gregation question, the people gained
confidence in the sympathy which a
great majority of the Americans still
have toward Japan.
"Japan's moral system insists that
a finger shall never be raised against
a benefactor. Japan owes her position
among the powers to America. The
American government and the Ameri-
can people, with England, are Japan's
best friend. War is unthinkable."

SANTA FE PENSIONS.
Liberal Payments to Old or Disabled
Employees.

The following details OF the pension
peka and Santa Fe railroad system
are given in statement issued By
the general passenger agent:
THE pension system the company
has devised Is one OF the most liberal
in existence No additional restric-
tions are placed on the employment OF
new men and no employe will be arbi-
trarily retired because he has reached
the age OF sixty-five or seventy years.
Employees will be retained in the serv-
ice as long as they are able to perform
their duties satisfactorily. For those
who are weakened by reason Of age or
accident the company will endeavor to
find some new duty that Is less ardu-
Gus and exacting than that at which
they were originally employed. Re-
tirement will be for incapacity alone.
and the board of pensions, of which
George q. Tunell is the secretary, will
have full power to decide when a man
is incapacitated.
The Santa Fe plan distinguishes
between men who have received small
salaries and those who have been reg
ularly paid larger amounts. The man.
agement Of road realizes that small
salaried men have not the opportunity
to lay aside as much money as those
who are better paid and the pension
board will keep this fact in view when
1t awards pensions.
Twenty dollars a month will be the
smallest pension given any pensioner.
Exceptionally long and efficient serv-
ice will result in the pensioner receiv-
ing twenty-five per cent. increase OF
the regular allowance. The basis for
the amount of the pension is fixed on
the highest salary pensioner has re-
ceived during his connection with tho
road. Fifteen years actual service will
entitle an employe to pension as q
result Of old age Employees incapaci-
tated as a result of an accident will be
pensioned regardless OF the length OF
service.
"All employees whose highest aver
age wage was $50 or less a month will
be given a pension equal to one and
one-fourth per cent. Of his wage for
each year OF service. An employe who
has been in the service thirty-eight
years at an average wage of $45 would
receive $21.39. The amount of pen
sions for better paid men is deter
mined in similar manner, but a man
whose wages exceeded $50 will only
get one and one-fourth per cent on the
Srst $50 of mis- salary and three-fourths
per cent. on the remainder. The high
est pension will not exceed SIS

Hobson's War Scare.

New York-In his address here Fri
day night, Capt. Richmond P. Hobson,
speaking of the Japanese question in
California, said: THE ultimatum
which Japan has given this country
says take back our people to your
public schools in California or take the
consequences That is only pretext.
The trouble is, Japan wants to control
the commerce and markets Of the far
East. She is determined to drive
America out of the Philippine islands.
If the Panama canal was completed We
might be able to protect the Pacific
coast, but we are helpless now, and
should Japan strike, the Philippines
and the Hawaiian islands would be lost
to u.s."

sharp stones which rose from the
floors and hung from above. they peer

lay beyond, raising their torches and
studying every footprint upon the
ground.

Deneau, pointing to the small crosses
which had been chiseled upon the
stone as guiding marks.
Yes, but what of them? 1t looks

replied La Prade.
We shall see,' said Deneau. and
entering one of the tunnels he was
followed by La Prade, whose courage
was returning, and whose eyes bulg-
ed with excitement.
At times misled by some false step
they would wander for miles from the
right path that led to the vault OF
THE Invisible Hand; but with that
tireless patience which marked De-
neau and his companion would re-
turn and retrace their steps until
they again found their way into the
chambers we have described.
The green snakes wriggled across
their path, the hoot of a great white
owl sent shudder through their
veins and the golden waters of the
lake held them enthralled. Here they
crept cautiously from one chamber to
another through the connecting tun-
nels, their amazement increasing at
every turn, and thus they wandered
through the maZes of the dark tun-
nels and chambers, until worn with
fatigue, they sank exhausted at the
very threshold of the great chamber

Submarine" but "The Avenger" had
been transported to the river beyond.
and when, after many hours of undis-

floors of the passage. they resumed
their journey, they found the vast
chamber in a state of confusion. The
heavy timbers lay scattered over the
floor. The archways leading beyond
had been blown away and the passage
enlarged. Great stones lay against
the walls, and the huge cranes and
derricks stared upon the intruders
like gallows.
They stood staring at the entrance
with white scared faces. gazing upon
the weird scene reflected by their
torches.

and tremor shook his frame.

reply:
