Trial May Be Concluded During Pres

Europe Will Testify
Today

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The Thaw trial
tomorrow will enter upon its fourth and
probably it's last week. The defense has
another day of evidence to offer, and
the state should have it's rebuttal evil
dence of the jury by Thursday
night.
District Attorney Jerome has as
sumed something of an air of mystery
as to the scope of the evidence he will
offer in rebuttal, of the showing of in
sanity made by the defense, but 1t is
said he will make an effort to bring up
in court some of the secret records of
the commission in lunacy which in
quired into Thaw's sanity last March
and which pronounced him capable of
intelligently advising with his counsel.
The records of the commission were
sealed by order of Justice Fitzgerald,
who appointed the board solely for the
purpose of advising the court as to
Thaw's mental condition, and this fact
may prove a stumbling block to the dis
trict attorneys plans.
The defense will offer tomorrow the
three physicians and the trained nurse
who arrived on the steamer Adriatic
Saturday morning to testify as to al
legged irrational outbreaks of Thaw in
Europe.

REV. BURDETTE SPEAKS
ON "THE HOME ACRE"

THE Home Acre" was the topic of
Rev. Robert J. Burdette's sermon at the
Temple Baptist church yesterday. He
said:
THE field is the world; and it lies
before the sower like a great California
wheat ranch-level, fertile and stone
less to the utmost limit of the boun-
daries.
"Such a field is the great plain of
Esdraelon. Jesus had journeys across
that wonderful granary whenever he
came from his Nazareth home to, Jeru-
salem. But the little field which he
described in his parable was a picture
of one of the little farms which lay
about his boyhood's home-like a New
England farm. So lies the world at the
feet of Jesus, the Sewer and the Lord
of the Harvest Such is all sowing
and reaping-in the world of matter
and in the spiritual world. Barren
wastes, untitled ground, stones and
thorns, predatory birds and poisonous
weeds, tares sown by treacherous
hands, blight and mildew, sweeping
storms and burning suns. We sow
with patient hands and hopeful hearts.
Then we watch the field of our sowing.
The birds sweep down on the uncovered
seed that falls by the wayside. One
part of the sowing gone. Then one hot
morning the whole patch on the hill
slope withers, turn" yellow before its
time, droops and dies. Two parts gone.
Then where the stalks are thickest be-
cause the soil is rich and deep, 10, the
thorns spring up in lush growth, and
with the fierce strength of barbarians
choke the life out of the tender wheat.
Three parts destroyed, and the heart
is faint with disappointment. The Sewer
turns hopefully to the bit of good soil
the cherished level field. From this
corner of ito, a harvest of thirty
fold -

BY Associated Press.
BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 26.-Great ex-
element prevails here owing to the
issuance of an executive decree closing
the extraordinary sessions of congress
and putting into effect for the current
fiscal year the 1907 budget. This ex-
IRENE measure, which seems to meet
with general approval, was occasioned
by the obstructive attitude of, the ma
jority in the senate, through non-at-
tendance, with the result that neither
budget nor legislation could be dealt
with, the government being left power
less to meet extraordinary expenses.
President Alcorta, in stating the rea-
sons for the issuance of the decree. de-
clares that the forces of law and order
are prepared promptly to suppress any
subversion or violent movement on the
part of the opposition. This, however,
is not anticipated.
Regarding the threat of the opposi-
ton to meet despite the decree closing
congress. the government has decided
to prevent such meeting by all the
means in it's power.

in Folsom penitentiary for shooting his

in which the lives of the convicts
might be bettered and the community
as well benefited by their conduct after
they are released.
