Thinks Thaw Insane

Mr.. Jerome in presenting his affi-
davits called particular attention to the
one signed by DR.. Carlos F. MacDou-
ald who declares he is firmly con-
vinced that Thaw is suffering from
paranoia and that while Ike knew
enough to realize the nature and quail
ity of his act when he shot Stanford
White he is now and for some time
past has been incapable of understand
ing the proceedings against him.
The reporter Cobb, in his affidavit
sets forth the facts connected with
Thaws dramatic manner of issuing his
statement concerning Mr.. Jerome's
cross examination Of Evelyn Thaw. All
these facts were narrated at the time
the insistence of Thaw that the re-
porter should sign and seal an envelope
containing the original of the state
ment and compare the original with
the typewriter copies which were sub
sequently handed to him for distribu-
ton among the other newspaper men
at the trial.
District Attorney Jerome occupied
most of the time today in a personal
explanation of the reasons which had
hindered him from earlier calling the
attention of the court to Thaw's pres
ent state of mind.
He said he had long been convinced
that the defendant was of unsound
mind. but he had no way of legally
bringing the matter to the attention OF
the court until Dr. Hamilton was put
on the stand by the defense.
II had been rumored all day that Mr..
Delmas would not be in court this
afternoon because Of the attitude as
sumed by some OF his associate counsel
yesterday. All the attorneys We're
present, however, when Justice Fitz-
gerald took his place on the bench.
Mr.. Delmas also was heard by Justice
Fitzgerald. Twice Mr.. Hartridge at
tempted to enter the argument, but
was raped down by the judge.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-22
interpretations Differ

The refusal of Judge Fitzgerald to
allow DR.. Hamilton to be interrogated
in the proceedings to enlighten the
conscience of the court as to appoint
ing a commission was interpreted in
various ways by those in court today.
The attaches of the district attorneys s
office were inclined to believe that Dr..
Hamilton having already stated his
opinion to Justice Fitzgerald, the latter
deemed it unnecessary to precipitate an
argument as to the waving of profess
sional privilege.
The defense seemed inclined to the
view that Justice Fitzgerald held DR.,
Hamiltons evidence could not be taken
into consideration and that consequent
ly the district attorneys position was
materially weakened.
DIR. Hamilton was first called into
the case by Thaw's lawyers and it was
while in their employ that he made
his examination of the defendant.
Under the law he cannot testify un-
less under an express waiver from the
man who was his patient.
Mr.. Jerome's affidavit submitted to-
day embraced the opinion of his seven
experts who have heretofore testified
and a statement by Irwin S. Cobb n
reporter. who gave the text
of the statement which Thaw issued at
the conclusion of Mr.. Jerome's long
and severe cross examination of Eve
lyn ThaW.

Now Desired by

Admit HamiItOn's
Testimony
Adjournment to Be Taken Until Mon-
day, at Which Time AffidaVlts
Will Be Filed by Both
Attorneys

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-District At
torney Jerome today presented to JUS
tice Fitzgerald eight affidavits in sup
port of the suggestion he made yester-
day in the case of Harry K. Thaw
that the defendant is now in such a
mental state as to be incapable of un-
derstanding the proceedings against
him or making his defense.
Court was in session for less than an
hour.
Mr.. Delmas, for the defense, stated
torney's position was not ready. JUS
tice Fitzgerald allowed both sides until
Saturday afternoon at o'clock to file
such affidavits as they desired. There
will be no further hearing in the mat
ter of the appointment of a lunacy
commission unless Justice Fitzgerald
so directs.
Neither the jury nor Thaw was in
court today. The jury has been ex-
cused until tomorrow morning at 1890
o'clock. There will be a brief session
at that time and a formal adjourn
ment until Monday morning announced.
By Monday Justice Fitzgerald is ex-
pecting to be ready to announce his
! decision.
District Attorney Jerome pleaded to-
day for permission to examine DR.. AL
Ian McLane Hamilton orally, but on
the absence of waiver of professional
privilege on the part of the defense,
Justice Fitzgerald said he would not
allow the doctor to be examined
further at this time.
Justice Fitzgerald added significantly
that he would take judicial notice of
everything which had been adduced in
evidence during the nine weeks of the
trial. DR.. Hamilton, it will be remem-
bered, testified yesterday that in his
opinion Thaw is not at present capable
of directing his defense,

would seem. TO the interested on

pdthesis as the Brownsville affair"
To date, this seems to be the only

for Presidential nonors. and the far

he, Northern senator. should so to

very cheapness of him.
II will all come home to him In the

the scale of qualification for the Pres

They are, according to this latest
expose, working their foundries, fac
tories, arsenals and yards, night and
day, over and under time, shaping up
war materials of all sorts and highest
qualities for the express and sole
purpose of wiping US Off the face Of
the earth and with the loot recouping
the losses and infinite debts entailed up
on them in their conflict with the Rus
slams.
The peculiar feature of all these sto-
ries is tnat they emanate from un-
American sources. OF course, in such
a matter, it is unlikely that any of
our people are going to be taken into
the japanese confidence, but it does
seem that subject of such world
wide notoriety might be shared, in
some measure, with the party at in
terest, and some hint of the design
drift our way. There is so much Of
II afoot, 1t seems strange we are de-
MED all knowledge of the open and
audacious play they are making in
our behalf
The whole world is learning to re-
spect Japan, America along with the
rest of the nations, and we are at a loss
to understand just why she is so avid
about engaging US in war. We have
always been her friend ,and never
more So than during the last and gra-
vest of ner troubles; it beats US.
Thank Heaven, we have the Hague
Tribunal to fall back upon to fend off
this demolition, this effacement, that
confronts U.S. 1t is not expected that
we will put up any fight in the prem
ises. Japan counts on that. she
knows how timorous, how slow to
wrath, and prone to peace upon any
terms, we are. And this may temper
the harshness of her onslaught and
modify the measure Of her exactions
after we have capitulated.
The only thing that disturbs her
assurance Of quick and supreme sue
cess in such a war venture, is that she
must do her bantam act between our
hind legs and is liable to get stepped
on in the maneuver. That we hear moth
ing Of this from Washington is ac-
counted for on the assumption that the
capital is so darned far away from the
seat Of all this extraordinary bump
tious endeavor, that the gravity of the
situation has not percolated that dis
tance. But 1t will get there, in time
enough to enable us to knuckle. grace
fully and upon terms entirely Salts
factory to our little Pacific
friend.

any untoward signs that may arise

Astoria may have the first deal in

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health.

1t is worth knowing that change
In food can cure dyspepsia. Il deem
it my duty to let you know how Grape.
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for
years, until last year my doctor rec
commended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning. 1 followed instruc-
tions and now am entirely well.
THE whole family like Grape-Nuts,
we use four packages a week. You
are welcome to use this testimonial as
you see fit"
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food, is that it
is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system. If
that part of the human body is in per-
feet working order, there can be no
dyspepsia, for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
gine.
When the nervous system Is run
down, the machinery of the body
works badly. Grape-Nuts food can be
used by small children as well as
adults. 1t is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use.

Push the Corn.

All corn growers have noticed that
if corn is planted at just the right
time, that is to say, when the ground
has warmed up sufficiently, and the
moisture is not too deep, the seed
sprouts quickly and often within two
days you can see the young plants in
the rows. Growing crops, like young
live stock, need a quick, vigorous
start, and then they need pushing along
during the whole season. The harrow
will do more telling work right now
than any other implement. Don't be
afraid of narrowing too much. Har-
row before planting, and when the
plants begin to peep through the
ground harrow with the rows If thor
ough work is done, the ground will be
kept clean, and is in much better con-
dition than if cultivators were started
early. More thorough narrowing is
done, the cultivators need not start
till the corn is six or eight inches
high.

of the ditch should be leveled so that
the bales will set firmly on the
ground and the banks dug off so that
they will be reasonably perpendicular.
Next all crevices must be trampled full
of earth.
If one bale will not reach across the
ditch more may be used. If two bales
are used they should be added so as
to press against each other and against
the bank as shown in the cut. If put
in this way no support will be re-
quired, the force of water will only
crowd the bales against the bank and
keep them firmly in place.
If more than one tier of bales is
required the ditch should be filled

fore another tier is laid
