A Peouliarity Of Criminal.

Policemen, in spite of their trouble
In solving what appear to be more or
less simple problems, are fond of as
Berting that the ordinary criminal be-
trays an amazing lack or originality.
In support of this they point out that
when a criminal is arrested after do
ing one stretch" the second charge
against him is generally for the same
sort Of crime. They explain this by
saying that each failure or each loss
shows the crook" some point of which
he had been Ignorant, and 1t is easy
for him to convince himself that next
time he will avoid that mistake and
be successful. When he fails and is ar
rested the law shows him just where
he bungled, and the gamblers love of
taking a chance urges him to try his
luck at the old game once more, Then
there is also always to be considered
the unconscious and gritty" determI-
nation to make q success Of the thing
anyhow.-New York Tribune.

TO SEE The CANAL.
Tawney Will Take His Committee to
Look at 1t.

New York. Oct. 31.-Representa-
James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chair
man OF the committee of appropria-
tions of the house of representatives,
will leave New York today on the
steamship Colon for the isthmus to
make personal inquiry into the pres
ent and prospective monetary needs of
the Pana canal.
Mr.. Tawney will be accompanied by
10 members of the committee.
1--WE are making the trip" said Mr..
Tawney today, mainly because the
isthmian canal committee has asked
for an appropriation Of $32,000,0OO
with which to continue its work for
the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1908.
If we find that the estimate is correct
we shall unhesitatingly grant it. If
we grant that sum then the actual
cost of the canal to the first of July,
900 short of the original cost of con-
struction, exclusive of the 100000
we paid to the Panama Canal com
pany for it's property and franchise
rights and $10,OO0,000 to the republic
of Colombia for our franchise"
cat the present rate Of construction
the work ought to be completed by
January L, 1914" said Mr.. Tawney.
"but in order to be on the safe side 1
will give a years leeway and fix the
date Of completion at the first Of Janu-
ary, 1915. I also estimate the total
cost of construction Will be not less
than $3.50, 100000, thus making the
canal cost US in actual cash $780,
100000"
Mr.. Tawney will be accompanied by
these members of the committee:

gan; Walter I. Smith of Iowa; Joseph

The fact that the lieutenant COVER

INDIAN WAR.
United States Troops i'm Battle
With NavajOs.
Casualties Are Three Killed and
One Wounded.
TEN ARE ARRESTED.
n ARE ARRESTED.
Chief Bylillie and Nine of His
Band Brought In.
All Is Quiet at the Ute Camp in
Dakota.

Washington, Oct 31-In a battle be-
tween United States troops and Indians
which occurred in southern Utah sew
eral days ago, three persons were kill
ed and another wounded, all believed to
have been Indians. The news of the
occurrence was conveyed to the Indian
bureau in a telegram from Superin-
tendent Shelton Of the San Juan agency
which though dated yesterday was not
received until today.
The army command consisted of four
officers, IA men and three Indian scouts.
The telegram to the Indian bureau,
follows:
THE troops have returned from
southern Utah. They arrested Bylillie
and none other Indians. Three others
shooting at the Indians. The Indians
are quiet and I do not anticipate fur
ther trouble"
The officials of the Indian bureau as
sumo that the killed and wounded were
Indians.
The Indians arrested are part of
band of Navajos from New Mexico and
eastern Arizona. A number of Indians
under the leadership of Bylillie have
been creating disturbance because of
their nisinclination to observe the reg
ulations. So offensive became their ac-
tions that Superintendent Shelton made
a request that soldiers be sent to the
reservation and troops I and K of the
Fifth cavalry, under Captain Willard
were dispatched from Fort Wingate, N.
M, to Arnetta, Utah, the 22d instant.
1t was not intended at the time that
their presence should mean any more
than a demonstration with a view of
a quieting effect. The war department
day received the following dated Thun-
der Bay, S. D., from Captain Johnson,
who was dispatched to the Ute Indian
camp in South Dakota:
Visited Ute camp yesterday, found
them quietly waiting our arrival, ex-
pecting me to be able to adjust their
difficulty. Will hold council with head
men today and will report results of

INSANITY FOR THAW.
Littleton Is Convinced That His Client
Is Crazy.

New York, Oct. 31-Announce-
ment was made today that insanity is
to be the plea in the defense of Harry
K. Thaw. whose second trial for the
Staying of Stanford White will begin
on December 2 next.
Martin w. Littleton, chief counsel
for Thaw, it is stated, has decided on
this course. He is said to be con-
vinced that Thaw is insane and has
not adopted this course as merely a
theory on which to conduct a success
full defense, but because he feels GER
tain of the unsound mental condition
of his client.
Ever since he took charge of the case,
it is said, Mr.. Litt1eton has given the
question of Thaw's mentality careful
study. He has traced the Thaw fam
lily tree, and, it is said, has decided
that the insanity of Thaw may have
been an inheritance. In this connec-
tion it is recalled that Mrs. William
Thaw, mother of the accused, emphat-
ically denied during the last trial that
in the direct line of descent there had
been any trace of either epilepsy or in
sanity. Seven alienists testified how
ever, that Thaw, in their opinion, was
insane and had been insane for some
years. Much testimony along this line
was brought out in the trial which
reached a climax when District Attor-
ney Jerome. in tears, gave his opinion
that he was trying al insane man and
that he felt that it was wrong to pro-
ceed with the trial under these cir
clImEtanceS
