New York. March 80 The plans Of
the Thaw lunacy commission to COM
plete its work today and to submit
| a report to Justice Fitzgerald on Mon
| day morning as to the present mental
,, condition of the slayer of Stanford
White, were upset late this afternoon
BY an appeal from District Attorney
Jerome to be allowed to produce more
witnesses before the commission
reaches decision
After an all day session the commits
sion adjourned until next Tuesday
morning, at which time it will hear ex-
perts offered by the district attorney.
Chairman McClure gave notice, how
ever that the witnesses will be com
PEELED to confine themselves to facts
and opinions which deal with the
present condition Of Thaw and will
not be allowed to go into details Of
the past or future.
Harry ThaW was under direct exam
nation by the commissioners for more
.thansthr hours today and then for
forty-fve minutes he was under the
fire of District Attorney Jerome on
cross examination This cross ex-
animation was allowed by the commits
sion only after a vehement protest
from the, prosecuting officer that he
had not been allowed suficient lati-
ftude in the inquiry
Enjoying his first opportunity Of
questioning the defendant, Mr.. Jerome
attempted to go into Thaw's past life.
but objections to this line Of ex-
animation by Thaw's counsel were
sustained by the commission, which
held the district attorney to the
direct issue before the 1unacy board
whether Thaw is capable today of I'M
derstanding the character of the pro
ceedings against him and of nationally
advising his counsel.
Thaw's direct and cross examination
today were held behind closed doors
and the commission took extraordi-
nary precautions to have the hearing
kept secret The attorneys connected
with the proceedings were cautioned
not to discuss the case in any way.
When the inquiry was ended the
doors were thrown open and it was
announced that the executive sessions
were at an end.
AS soon as the session became pub
lie. District Attorney Jerome called
Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton to the
stand. The commission had sum-
moned DR.. Hamilton at the request OF
the district attorney. AS the alienist

Associated press to bismarck Tribune


washington, Marsh 30.In accord
ance with directions Of the president
and secretary Of the interior. through
orders recently issued, the commits
sioner of the general land Office has
taken up the work of reorganizing the
field and Office force under his control:
n IN order to secure greater efficiency
4 In the field work for special agents the
commission has found it advisable to
re-district the public land territory,
changing the lines SO that for the most
part the field divisions have been en-
larged, thus giving greater territory
to the several chiefs
The chiefs Of divisions Lave been
invested with more authority and
greater supervisory powers than here
tofore. The special agents will be de-
tailed to several chiefs from territory
and placed directly under the juris-
diction Of chiefs Of several divisions
ID the field, each chief being held re-
sponsible for the etficient performance
OF all work In this division.
The chief will also be required to call
for reports representing the conduct Of
local Offices and the Offices Of the sur
veyors general in their respective d.
visions.
IT is thought this method will place
the chief OF a field division in such a
position that he can organize and di-
rect from his local headquarters the
work Of Investigation throughout his
entire division.
It has also been the purpose Of this
arrangement to make it possible to In
crease the number Of agents employed
In the several districts in which field
work is Of the most important char
acter and IN which close Investigation
Is necessary to be carried on to pre-
vent fraud and Illegal entries, and dis
pose Of suspended cases as rapidly as
possible~ IT. s also the purpose OF the
commissioner to so detail and concen-
trate the force as to keep the depart
ment advised Of the principal land
frauds and Illegal efforts to acquire
title 10 public lands and secure evil
dence to convict those guilty Of such
offenses, especial attention being
given to coal and timber entries.

HARVARD AGAINST YALE
Prospects for Today's Races Between
Rival Crews Are Excellent

NEW LONDON, Conn, June 26-N
sharp electrical storm on the upper
Thames river late today broke the spell
of sultry weather and made prospec IS
for the first races between Harvard and
Yale crews excellent. The influx OF en-
thusiasts from New Haven and Cam
bridge is enormous.
The drawings for the race were made
this afternoon and Yale took the wast
bank for the varsity eight. rowing
down stream. and the same for tha
freshmen eight. rowing up stream and
the east course for the varsity four
The west bank is thought to have n
slight advantage in tides and in some
slants of the wind.
The Yale predictions are a victory
for it's varsity eight and varsity four
and a close race in the freshmen's >
eight, with the odds slightly in the
crimson's favor. In the Harvard quar-
ters there was not a bit of hesitancy
in claiming Harvard would win.
The Harvard freshmen four won from
Yale in a mile race BY three-quarters
of q length today. The time was 5:S2
The Harvard graduate eight also won
from Yale in a half-mile dash by two
lengths. The time was 2:20.
Gordon Glass of the Harvard varsity
crew was taken III and sent to tho
Fort Griswold house this afternoon.
The nature of his illness has not been
determined. but il Is believed to be
due to nervousness.

SACRAMENTO AUTO|sTS
BEAT TWO G0NSTABLEs
Try to Gust Women From
Machine In Front of
a Cafe

OAKLAND. June 2s.-The attempt OF
an auto party Of six men from Sacra-
mento. stranded at the Criterion cafe
IN Fruitvale, to take possession of
another machine in order to get back
10 Oakland resulted in a free for all
fight Sunday night, in which Constable
Tom Carroll was knocked down and
Deputy Constable John Swift was
severely handled.
The officers at one time were in a
position of great danger, for one Of
the Sacramento men wrenched off a
door from the tonneau Of the machine
and with this tried 20 brain his op-
ponents. Carroll averted the danger
by striking the man blow on the jaw
with his fist that felled him.
The sextet went to the Criterion in
a machine which they engaged in Oak
land. but were unable to raise enough
to pay the fare asked by the chauffeur.
The chauffeur then drove off, leaving
them behind. Shortly afterward an
other machine with a load which in
cluded several women from Oakland
arrived and the Sacramento people
made a determined effort to oust the
occupants and take possession.
Carroll and Swift, who were eating
lunch in the dining room, at once went
TO the scene Of the disturbance. Carroll
was Immediately knocked down by one
OF the largest members of the party
and Swift was also put on the ground
Carroll succeeded in regaining his feet
when the man with the door of the
tonneau in his hands rushed at him and
was put out by the constable.
The officers finally rounded UP the
disturbers. Carroll however. says he
was induced to let them all go without
making arrests or making the affair
public because the managers Of the
Criterion said such action would prob
ably result in the loss of his license
when the matter for revoking it came
up before the board Of supervisors or
the following day The six then made
their way into Oakland as best as they
could.
Following the refusal of the super.
visors to take action w. B. Sink ha:
been succeeded as active manager of the
Criterion by W. W. Chapman. owner
OF the greater part of stock. Chapman
proposes TO incorporate the concern and
install his brother in law, Harry Shaw
as secretary and treasurer. Sink, how
ever, will be retained in some capacity

next Saturday gives promise of being
in every way a record breaker for the
Pacific northwest. So many turfmen
and followers of the game are here
from San Francisco that Seattle's main
thoroughfare reminds one of Fillmore
street during the height of the San

Three hundred horses are already
quartered at The Meadows, and they are
coming in by scores. At least 500 thor
oughbreds will be in the stalls when
the gates to the course are opened on
saturday. Virtually all of these have

winter, so they are in condition to go
to the post whenever their owners elect

DUBLIN, Juno 26.-Richard Croker
has made a record in racing history. He
won the Irish derby today with orby,
which had won the English derby OF
1907. This is the first time that these
two great classics have been won by
the same horse.
The Irish derby was run at Curragh.
1t is for a stake of $4,000, the condi-
tions being the same as in the English
derby.
Orby carried 10 pounds extra, conced-
ing three pounds to Cleg, which had
beaten him last year at even weights.
There was virtually no betting on
the race, Orby being at 1 to 10. He
won in a common canter and was seven
lengths in front of Cleg, which was
beaten home also by Orby's stable mate,
Georgetown.
An enormous crowd witnessed the
