Jerome objected on the gfound that
Evans had not stated the results of his
tests, or the manner in which they were
applied.
Justice Fitzgerald said he understood
the objection to call for the facts on
which the opinion was based.
Delmas thereupon took up the vari-
Gus points of the physical examination,
one after another.
Evans testified first as to the general
condition of Thaw's body as to nutri-
diticn of the skin was also good. The
result of the tests of the ref1exes was
explained. Explaining the refiexes
known as knee jerk and tickling of the
feet he said that in the latter test
there seemed to be unusual sensitive

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The illness Of
the wife of one of the Thaw jurors to-
day caused the abandonment of the
usual morning session of the court. a
recess being ordered by Justice Fitz-
gerald at 10:4S until o'clock this aft
ernoon- Mrs. j. B. Bolton, wife of
Juror No. Il. was said to be threatened
with pneumonia. Bolton asked per-
mission of Justice Fitzgerald by tele-
phone early this morning to visit his
home in company with two court off,
GERS and it was granted. He lives far
out in the Bronx.
District Attorney Jerome and Delmas
were called into conference with Jus
tice Fitzgerald and a few moments
later the recess was announced.
The continuance of the trial was
agreed upon after Delmas had informed
the court that he would require only
about twenty minutes TO complete the
direct examination of DR.. Evans, the
alienist who was upon the stand yes
terday. This was done so that in the
event Of the adjournment for a day or

Police Receive an Inquiry About Cyrus
Leland's Whereabouts.

1t is probable that Uncle Cyl Leland
is the most widely known man in the
state of Kansas, but although he has
headed several delegations to the Ma
tional capitol, it may be gathered from
communication received by the chief of
police last evening that Our Uncle
Cy's" fame has not reached the pension
and back-pay specialists of Washington
Behold the query:
Dear Sir: We are anxious to know the
whereabouts of Cyrus Leland. If living,
or of his widow. children or other heirs,
if dead He was appointed and COM
missioned during the civil war a T. NJ.
in the 10 Reg. Kans. Vol. Inf'y.
I'VE will thank you for any informa-
ton you can furnish US which will put
us in communication with any person
interested in his estate.
Very truly yours, - -
Regardless of the fact that several
persons prophesied that Mr.. Leland was
dead one" after his flop to the Curtis
forces the chief of police had no trouble
in giving the desired information.

Cheyenne, wyo.. Sept. William
Kelsey of Denver, who fell beneath

day, and who later submitted to ampu-

condition and there is practically no
hope for his recovery. His wife ar
rived from Denver this evening.
Bill Kelsey lived in Topeka about
Is years, and only left this city about
a month ago. Kelsey was n f1rst-class
printer, and has worked at his trade
on all the Topeka publications. He was
employed at the Crane printing house
for eight years.
When he left Topeka a month ago,
Kelsey went to Denver. and it is sup
posed was remarked to his wife, from
whom he had been divorced a year be-
fore. She was the widow of Engineer
Brennan, who was killed in the Lang
wreck. The Kelseys had considerable
family trouble, and were frequently
separated for a short time, but these
disturbances were of short duration.
Kelsey was 43 years of age, and a
man of striking appearance. He had
many friends as result of his genial
and whole souled disposition.
Both Kelsey and his wife were mem
bers of the F'raternal Aid, an insurance
order.

jamestown Exposition.

In addition to the great ironclads of the
Atlantic feet, commanded by Admiral
Evans, the naval display at the James
town exposition will include some of the
finest vessels of foreign navies. These are
mostly of the cruiser class, but as the
armored vessels of that type are equal
to battleships in size and scarcely less for
midable in appearance they will make an
attractive show. The Navy Department
has been advised up to date of the COM
ing of the following foreign ships:
Great Britain-The armored cruisers Good
Hope, flagship Argyle, Hampstead and
Roxburgh under command of Rear Adj
miral Neville.
France-Armored cruisers Klober and
Victor Hugo and another cruiser to take
the place of Joan Bart, recently wrecked
of the African coast; commanded by Rear
Admiral Thiefry.
Japan-The cruisers Tsukuga and Chi
tose, under command of Vice Admiral Ijuin
These vessels are expected to arrive In

REFINING OF PETROLEUM.
CAPITAL Invested in the Industry
Amounts to $136,26O,541.

According to a bulletin issued by the CEN
Sis buheau on petroleum refining In the
United States for the calendar year l9o4
there were 1O4 petroleum refineries in opera
tion Their total capital was $l36,2so'ofl'
they employed 1910 wage earners; paid
in wages 50. $3.50, 1867; used materials costing
s139, 49,, 213, and manufactured products to
the value of $175,OO5, 800.
As COMPARED with 1900, these figures rep
resent increases as follows: In number Of
ref1neries, 38.7 per cent; capital. f3 per
cent; number wage earners. 3I5 per cent;
wages paid 4S.7 per cent cost of materials,
30 per cent and value of products, 4l.2

value OF each follows: Burning oils, includ-
ing the different grades of both Illuminating

so $685. 400 barrels of fifty United States gal
Ions each. This included 34.344,522 barrels
of burning oils and JSlI,2o9 Darrels OF

barrels were exported and &C. 9S2. 49, barrels
used by refineres In this country.
At each census crude petroleum has stead
lily increased both in quantity and total cost
In 1904 the volume of refined products ex-
ported was 1S,21S,795 barrels, or 1855 per

and the total value at the ports of ship
ment was $74 273,525. Although the guam

NEW YORK, March 11.-Death was
the portion Of Mrs. Annie Corbett
wife OF James Corbett, a contractor
Of No. 1854 Sd avenue, the Bronx,
after she had saved the apartment house
in which she lived from being destroy ed
by fire and rescued her five children from
suffocation and burning. Aided by her
eight-year-old son, the innocent cause of
the fire, she extinguished the flames, and
she was again joyfully gathering her chill
dren about her when she fell to the floor
with an infant in her arms and died
Mrs. Corbett was alone with the chill
dren when the fire started. A son was
looking for his best shoes in closet in
bed room and struck a match The flame
1gnited lace garment and he screamed
for help. Mrs. Corbett called James,
placed the infant in his arms and, herding
the other children in front of her, she
hurried them into sthe hall. Leaving the
others. she and James armed themselves
with pail and a wash basin and extin-
guished the flames. The boy received a
burn on the arm. Meantime the baby be-
gan to cry and other tenants were aroused
and began rushing into the street. The
stampede was stopped when James an
mother ran to take up the baby and as
she was covering it's face with kisses she
reeled and fell.
A physician worked an hour. but could
not revive Mrs. -COrbett The physician
and the coroner said her death was caused
by heart failure due to shock and excite
ment
