ttions where troops have been called
Into service served to enliven the de-
| bate in the house in connection with

certain cases: but every attempt failed

.oAMPENs RIOS RECEPTION
Plenty of Functions for Officers and
Men Provided, However, by
Natives.

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 14-Swinging laz-
lily at their anchors, the American bat
tleships early yesterday seemed as if
they were enjoying well earned rest
after their run of 5000 miles and more
from Trinidad. They lay under the
green hills of Rio, in the shadow of
Mount Corcovado, and soon the streets
took on lively appearance as thous-
ands made their way to the edge of
the water, where they could watch the
ships and launches dashing in and out.
A warm welcome awaited the fleet
from the moment the signal flags went
up announcing its approach, and from
the first landing of the liberty" men
until anchor is weighed again Rio has
much in store for those who wish to
view its beauties and enjoy it's bounty
Evans is Ill.
Entertainments have been arranged
for almost every hour of the day and
some of the hours of the night as well
but the fact that Rear Admiral Evans
the commander of the fleet, is i'll is
cause for the deepest regret.
Admiral Evans is suffering from
rheumatism and it is feared he will not
be able to be present at the entertain
ments.
Admirals Emory, Thomas and Sper
ry, accompanied by the captains of the
battleships, yesterday paid a visit to
the minister of marine, Admiral Allen
con, who returned the visit on board

Later the American officers went tt
Petropoiis, the home of the diplomatic
corps, some % miles distant from the
capital to attend the reception o.

bassador, Irving B. Dudley.
They were accompanied by many
high Brazilian officers and by repre-
sentatives of the, various legation 9

Gain by Foreign Laborers.

financial panic was, in part, precipita
ted by the savings which the foreign
born laborers, returning to Europe,
were taking with them. | have done a
little figuring. l find that these for

last year 100000 immigrants arrived.
Each of them was required, under the
law, to have $25 in his possession. So
the foreigners brought in $4,000, 600.
Here is positive gain instead of a
loss
"Now, in the case of American girls
marrying foreigners, there is no gain,
either for the country or the girl. The
former loses money and the latter hap

compensation

ON SLEEPING CARS
Senator La Toilette and George e. Lof-
tis File Petition with the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Washington, Jan. 14.-GeOrge E.
Lofts of St Paul, accompanied by
Senator La Toilette, filed with the in
terstate commerce commission yester-
day a petition asking for a reduction
of 25 per cent in the lower berth rates
of the Pullman company and the fixing
of the rate for upper berths at one
half of that of the lower berth rate
The reduction is asked on all inter
state business throughout the country.
Mr. Lofts represents the Minnesota
Shippers association.
The petition AYERS that each car, ac.
cepting the company's estimate of its
cost, pays for itself every two years
Because of the unreasonable rates
charged and the abnormal revenue re-
sulting the Pullman company is sc
powerful that it now controls the
sleeping car business of the United
States, and is so arrogant that it de
ries the right and power to inquire
into its earnings or regulate its busi
ness"

ing of the peoples case, that Thaw
committed a deliberate, premeditated,
/ cowardly murder.
The chief witness presented by the
prosecution was James Clinch Smith,
Whites brother-inlaw, who did not ap-
pear in the direct case at the last trial.
LittIetOn Outlines Defense.
Littleton dug deep into the history
of Thaw and his family, saying it
wasn't a pleasant task to pull aside
the curtain that shut out the history
of that family.
He named relatives of Thaw who
were insane or who had mental
weakness of one kind or another.
There surely was taint in the Thaw
family and Thaw couldn't escape it.
| The fever that burned his blood when
he was born would burn until he died,
was the way Mr.. Littleton expressed it
| He was an erratic child, subject to
convulsions and st. Vitus dance. When
he was 6 years old he couldn't talk
at least he couldn't talk in language
THAT a school teacher could understand
| wild and Erratic.
| He went to schools and was wild and
erratic. He oscillated between bril-
Iliancy and madness since he was boy
according to Mr.. Littleton's descrip
ton. Witnesses he had brought from
London, Paris and Monte Carlo would

said This country had been combet

Promises Startling Array
of Facts.

New York. Jan. 14.-John T. Deemar.
Thaw's family physician, was the first
witness called in the Thaw trial today.
He had treated Thaw for St Vitus
dance and measles. He repeated this
testimony and told also of attending
members of the Copely family, the
mothers branch of the defendants an
cestry Dr. Deemar said a brother of
the elder Mrs. Thaw became an i'm
beetle.
DR.. c. G. Wagner of Binghampton,
N. Y, and Mrs. Smith Eli Jelliffe,
two alienists of the defense, were
present when court opened today
Jerome's Objection Sustained.
Dr. Deemar was asked about the
present mental condition and where
abouts of John Ross, paternaI cousin
of the defendant, but District Attorney
Jerome objected on the grounds that
the doctor obtained the information
while acting in professional capacity
and it would require waiver from
| the client before he could testify. JUS
tice Bowling sustained the objection
over the protest of Littleton.
Never in Asylum.
| On cross examination Attorney Jer-
ONE drew out the fact that Henry
Copely, while incapacitated for mental
work, was never confined.
wife Among Those Excluded.
| Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was excluded
from the court room yesterday. She
will not be allowed to enter until she
is called as a witness. At the last
trial she, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Will
liam Thaw; her sister-fn-law, the count,
ess of Yarmouth, and Mrs. George Lau
Eder Carnegie, another sister-in-law, sat
lin the court room from the beginning
of the trial TO its end.
Rake Thaw's History for insanity.
The prediction that nothing in the
life of Harry K. Thaw or his family
would be spared to save him from the
electric chair for killing Stanford
White was confirmed when Martin w
Littleton outlined the defense. Thaw
was man bereft of all reason when
he killed Stanford White is the sub
stance of what Mr.. Littleton says he
will prove.
To substantiate this defense he viii
produce testimony to show that on tht
paternal and maternal side Thaw hat

one dying in an asylum; that Thau
