DEFENDANTS WIFE sUBPoENAED
TO TESTIFY BEFORE THE
LuNAcY COMMISSION.
JURY REQUESTS ADDITIONAL PAY
MEMBERS PETITION JUDGE FITz.
GERALD TO ALLOW THEM SIS
A DAY FOR SERVICE.


= New York, April 2.-When Mrs,
Evelyn Thaw made her daily visit to
her husband in the Tombs she was
met by process server who handed
her subpoena directing her to ap-
pear before the lunacy commission.
Mrs. Thaw apparently had not antici-
pated this move and she appeared
very much disturbed when the nature
of the paper was made known to her.
"Do they expect me to testify against
my husband" she asked.
She was told that her presence
probably was desired merely as mat
ter of routine, but this did not seem
to assure her. District Attorney Je-
rome declined to make known his pur-
pose in calling Mrs. Thaw before the
commission.
The members of the Thaw jury have
drawn up a petition to Justice Fitz-
gerald asking him to allow them SIS a
day for jury service instead of the
customary allowance of So day.
Their action is based on an instance
in which the court made similar in
crease in the jury's allowance after
the case had been extended to an I'm.
| usual length.
The Thaw jury reported to Justice
Fitzgerald at 1920 a. m. and were
excused until Thursday morning.

TEREsTED CONTINUE TO BE
HELD IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, April 2.-The situation In
the controversy between the Western
railroads and the trainmen and con-
ductors has not materially altered.
Another series of conferences was
held during the day in which Chair
man Knapp of the interstate COM
MERGE commission and Secretary Neill
of the United States labor commits
sion were active participants.
The report circulated that a large
number of the members of the two
organizations are not in favor Of a
strike, although denied by the leaders
of the trainmen and conductors, led
both Chairman Knapp and Mr.. Neill
to believe that terms satisfactory to
both sides may ultimately be reached.
Chairman Knapp said:
There is nothing that I can say
now and will not have anything to
say until the matter has been definite.
ly arranged or until am certain that
my efforts can produce no further re.
suits for good. The situation is not
hopeless and I feel encouraged, but
that is all that can say now. do
not mean that an agreement is Ger.

DONE" .,.<s .-

sance new than it was last year.
Neither the Constitutional Democrats
nor the Socialists have much expecta-
ton of arriving at practical results
during the life of the present parlia-
ment. They are convinced that any
measure involving the compulsory ex-
preparation of lands, which is the basic
principal Of all the laboral solutions,
will Immediately be vetoed by the EN-.
peror and be regarded by the cabinet
as a justification for the dissolution
of parliament The house, however,
was forced to begin the discussion of
the agrarian problem as a concession
to the peasant constituents of many
of the members.
Prince Vassilchikoff, minister of ag-
riculture, speaking in behalf of the
cabinet, outlined the government s
agrarian programme, laying down as
an ultinatum the maintenance of the
principle Of the inviolability Of pri-
vate property. The appropriation of
land, he added, was permissible only
in exceptional cases.

EMPLOYEES OPPOSED TO STRIKE
Railroads Claim to Have Taken Sc.
cret Canvass.

Chicago, April 2.-Railroads have
announced secret canvass just CON-
pleted among their employees showing
a strong sentiment against calling a
big strike and in favor Of accepting
the wage offer of the roads. The an
nouncement was made to the federal
commissioners who are attempting to
bring about a settlement of the dis
pute. 1t may have an important bear
ing on the peace negotiations.
Following this move of the railroads
a report was spread that leaders Of
the unions were preparing to make
several concessions. 1t was said the
demand for a nine-hour day may be
abandoned and that the men also may
decide to take less than the IL per
cent advance in pay they have de-
manded.
Grand Chief Garretson of the con-
ductors would not confirm the report.
Grand Chief Morrissey of the train
men refused to declare himself any
further than to assert that the "situa,
tion had not changed materially"

THAW'S ATTORNEYS REST.

Will Offer No Further Testimony in
Lunacy Hearing.
New York, April 2.-Counsel for
Harry K. Thaw announce that the
Thaw side rests so far as further tes-
timony by their side is concerned be.
fore the lunacy commission. The de-
tense believes that this will help to
bring this hearing to close shortly
and that the trial. delayed for more
than a week by the movement to de-
termine ThaW's sanity at the present
time, can be Immediately resumed.
The defense assumes, of course, that
the commission will find that Thaw is
now sane, In fact, they are supreme.
ly confident of such an outcome, bas-
ing their opinion on the splendid
showing Thaw is said to have made
when questioned by the commission
ers.
District Attorney Jerome does not
share the opinion of the defense that
the commission will conclude its hear
ing in another day. He said the de-
tense was assuming too much and ex-
pressed the belief that several days
would elapse before the commission
reported. Mr.. Jerome believes that
the commission will hear his alienists
and he hopes, besides, that the testi-
mony of DR.. Allan McLane Hamilton
will be admitted There is no doubt
that the hearing will be prolonged if
the states alienists are allowed TO
testify as fnIlV as Mr. Jerome wishes
them to dc. but the defense's lawyers
believe that they will only be permit
ted to tell what they think of Thaw's
present condition and facts of the dis
tant past, on which most Of their con-
illusions are based, will be eliminated.

Taft may abandon his proposed trip

Whether the secretary will give up

State Law Goes Into Effect and Will

Helena, Mont, April 2.-The anti
gambling law became effective Mon
day and all games were closed
throughout the state, even the slot
machines. The attorney general has
issued instructions that the law must
be strictly enforced and as it provides
for summary dismissal all officials
where games are permitted to con-
tinue there is every reason to believe
it will be observed. The law also pro-
vides for the recovery of losses either
by loser or relatives. This is the first
time since 1863 that public gambling
has not been available to those desir-
ing to take the risk.

Will EndeaVor to Lower Auto Record

Barney Oldfcld the daredevil auto
mobile driver recently established new
worlds records for halrmile circular
tracks at Des Moines, and is preparing
to defend these titles at the Davenport
mile track next Sunday afternoon.
Oldfield arrived III Davenport yester-
day with his full equipment and will
be in attendance on the trotting mat
iuees TO be held there during the week.
His machines are transported in a pri-
waite car especially constructed for the
purpose. and are at present housed in
the local garages of Davenport. He
has with him his former well known
record breaking car. the Green Dragon.
in which he raced against Jesse IlIingS-
worth in his Gray Wolf last season.
His racing partner this season, Slavin.
has a fast car called the Red Dragon,
and Oldheld's equipment is complete
with his racing touring car which he
maintains for runabout use.
There will be eight events on the
Davenport program, which will be one
of the best ever promoted in the middle
west. Efforts are being made to secure
competitors from the surrounding coun-
try for the events i'll which the cham
piOn is entered in Davenport. and it
may be that Charles A. Coey, the Chi
cagO driver, may be entered.
The directors of the track have de
cided to offer purse in addition to the
other prizes offered if OIdffeld or others
lower the time of 81 1-5 made at Sioux
City this month. Oldfield has stated
that he will endeavor to capture this
purse.
