THAW'S SANITY
BEYOND DOUBT
SLAYER of White Wins Victory
After a Rigid Mental and
Physical Examination
District Attorney jerome Enters Wig
orous Protest Against Conflrma-
ton Of the Commissioners
Report by the Court
Trial to Proceed.

New York.--Harry X. Thaw was de-
clared sane on Friday by the unanl-
nous report of the commission In iu-
macy appointed to inquire into MS
present mental condition. The moment
the decision was handed down from
Justice Fitzgerald's desk, District AT
torney Jerome was on his feet vigor-
ously protesting against its confirma-
ton by the court He declared he had
been excluded from the last session
of the commission and demanded to
be allowed to have access to the min
utes and stenographic notes OF what
TRANSFERRED at the final mental and
physical examination of the defendant.
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the district
attorney, Mr.. Jerome declared he
would carry the case to the appellate
division of the supreme court, asking
that a writ OF prohibition or manda-
mus be granted to prevent contin-
uance of the Thaw trial until the
higher court had ruled upon the legal
ity of the commissions course.
Unless Mr.. Jerome should secure a
writ of prohibition in the meantime,
Justice Fitzgerald is expected to an
nounce on Monday morning that he
has confirmed the report Of the com
mission and order that the trial pro
coed without further delay.

ISLE OF PINES
NOT AMERICAN
Supreme Court Hands Down
Opinion Which Sets the
Matter at Rest.
Case Originated in Connection with
the Importation OF a Few Boxes
of cisars.-lsle an Integral
Part of Cuba.

Washington. the Isle of Pines
is not American territory has been
officially and judicially decided by the
supreme court of the United States.
The decision was rendered in the case
of Edward ]. Pearcy VS.. Nevada N!
Stranahan, collector of the port OF
New York, and the opinion of the
court was announced by Chief JUS
tice Fuller, who said that up to the
Paris treaty, the Isle of Pines had
been considered as an integral part
of Cuba and that it could not be held
to be covered by article two OF that
treaty, which included only islands In
the vicinity of Porto Rico.
The case originated in connection
with the importation of few boxes
of cigars by Pearcy in September,
1903. but it's hearing by the court was
from time to time passed in the hope
that the status of the island might
be definitely decided by legislation or
diplomacy The cigars were made in
the Isle of Pines of tobacco grown
there, and when they arrived Pear
cy refused to pay duty on the ground
that they were of domestic origin
The collector thereupon seized them
and Pearcy appealed to the United
States circuit court, where he secured
40 relief, as that court sustained de-
murrer filed by the government and
dismissed the appeal.

TORNADO CAUSES
MARINE DISASTER
Speaker Cannon a Witness OF
Rescue of Thirteen People
From Sinking Ship.
People Rescued Were Nearly Starved
to Death, as They Had Lived for
Week on a Few Water
Soaked Biscuits.

New York.-Nearly every yessei
during the past week has brought
some story of marine disaster wrought
by the tornado of Hatteras during
the last ten days Of March. The
Bluecher, arriving from West Indian
ports, was no exception. Standing In
disconsolate groups about her decks
were thirteen people. whom the liner
had saved from their laundering bark,
the Gulfport. az the vessel was on the
verge OF going down. The rescue was
Witnessed by Speaker Joseph @. Can
non and others OF the congressional
party on board the Bluecher.
Those taken by the lifeboat OF the
liner from the waterlogged wreck
were near starvation. as for nearly
week they had had nothing To live on
except a few watersoaked biscuits.
Thursday morning the Bluecher al
tered her course to head for Il wreck
that had been sighted. The passen-
gers hurriedly quilted the breakfast
tpble and gathered on deck to see the
crew OF the bark clustered about the
aft rails. Little difficulty attended
the work OF rescue. The 1ifeboat In
charge of Chief Officer Boyer. was
lowered from the Bluecher and rowed
to the wreck Into this went Captain
Larsen OF the bark and twelve mem
bers OF his crew and In a short time
had the refugees safely on board the
Bluecher.

HANDS OF GOVERNMENT TIED
Important Decision Rendered In Land
Fraud Cases.

Los Angeles.--In the opinion OF Os.
car Lawler, United States attorney for
this district, the supreme court OF the
United States, by its action In tho
men indicted In the Oregon land fraud
investigation has effectually tied the
hands Of every United States attorney
In the country, SO far as the prosecu-
ton of big criminals is concerned.
He adds that prosecutions involving
extradition will be farcical until con.
gress adopts new law.
The holding of the supreme court
that an indictment alone is not suf-
ficient cause for removal of a prisoner
to the center OF trial when his arrest
Is made outside the district, virtually
allows defendant two trials OF his
