Kirin and Mukden provinces have ar
rived here for joint consultation with
the viceroy OH questions OF much po-
litical importance and Gov. Tang has
been ordered to Pelsin to report to the
throne the result Of the consultation.
An important change is reported as
imminent. The good results of placing
all OF Manchuria under one viceroy in
stead of governing the country as for
merly, are now fully apparent. The
administration is unified, simplihod
and consolidated. The troubles of the
central government has also been les
sened and communication with other
countries facilitated.
ENCOURAGEMENT IMPOSSIBLE.
The commands or the Vlceroy are
readily obeyed and foreign influence
has been reduced 80 that foreign en-
croachment is impossible. This creates
u barrier against Russia and suits Jap
an. but lifts the influence of that ma
ton.
The demands made by Japan have
not yet been settled, but the Chinese
government is becoming more con-
clliatory concerning regulations in the
foreign settlements which have been
opened in various towns. New trains
of the American style Will be placed on

BOILER ROOMS.
zone bad feature found in school

more than 20 feet square or so, and
a small shed can be built easily and
cheaply to one side of the school
building proper. But, this is not done
in majority of cases, and as re-
srlt, school children are sitting all
day long right over q room. which If
someone forgets or grows careless, Is

with your boiler you have a fire of

CASE TO JURY
IN TEN DAYS
=.
DEFENSE IN THAW TRIAL WILL
MAKE STRAIGHT INSANITY
PLEA.

NEW YORK. Jan. 1S.-Accordirg to
the best Judges it's thought that the
Thaw case will reach the jury in about
10 days.
Apparently there is no disposition on
the part of either side to prolong the
case and evidence in this trial will be
much more direct.
Evading all appeal to the emotional
side of the case, the defense is making
a straight insanity plea which the
state in it's rebuttal will contest. With
the battle of experts over, the case will
be handed over to the jury for decision.
Evelyn Thaw viii not take the stand
in the Thaw case. This decision was
announced today by the defense. 1t
means that sudden and radical change
of plans have been made by Littleton.
Mrs Belle Lawrence. Thaw's COVER
hess. will take the stand in her stead.
Mrs. Lawrence has evidence OF
weight it is said which will go to prove
that Harry Thaw has been weak m nd
ed since youth. Littleton has all along
discounted the value Of Evelyn Thaw's
story and her withdrawal can be looked
upon as victory for Littleton in his
effort to make a straight insanity de-
fense.
