FORTY FOR EXAMS.
Fully That Many to Try for
Sergeant List on Third
of June.
MANY DETECTIVES IN
Expected Retirement of Captains Is
Looked for in the Near
Future.

This will be the last day for the fill
ing Of applications by those members
of the police force who desire to take
the examinations for sergeants which
Will be given on June 3. The time
for the fling of these applications will
close at exactly | o'clock this noon
when the hours Of the secretary of
the civil service board are up. The
fact that this Is the first OF these ex-
aminations to be held in ten years
made 1t certainty that there would
be u great many to try to get on the
eligible list, as 1t might be as long
again before there was another
chance. Up to last night there had
already been filed about thirty-four
applications and as 1t Is customary to
get large number put in at the last
moment the total will probably be
between forty and fifty with the latter
limit as the favorite.
OF course there are great many
patrolmen who will take the chance
offered for the eligible list. Then
about all. if not all the men in the
/ detective bureau are out for the eX-
aminations except Ledwith and Healy
who are both on the list now The
men will be required in this case tc
take the physical examination first
and that, Of course, will fall some
time in the next few days Only those
who qualify IN this will have to take
! the strain of the mental test, Whether
there will be any great elimination or
account of the physical examination Il
doubtful so that the mental examina'
ton will probably find most of tn,
candidates still in the race.
There is more or less feeling tina
with the eligible lists for both cap
tains and sergeants completed Their,

JUDGE THINKS THAW INSANE
To-day--Thaw May Escape
Natteawan

Poushkeepsie, n. Y, May 24.-Jus-
tice Morschauser will hand down his
decision tomorrow morning in the ha-
beas corpus proceedings Of Harry X.
Thaw in which evidence was taken
week ago. The Judge was in his pri-
vate rooms in the court house nearly
all day and It was understood that he
was working on an opinion which will
accompany his decision.
No hint of the purport Of the decis-
ion came from his chambers but action
taken by Thaw's lawyer, James G..
Graham, yesterday, was regarded as
indicating that he was not highly hope
full of a decision favorable to his eli
|ent. Mr.. Garham got from District
Attorney Mack a stipulation that
Thaw should neither be given his free
dom nor sent back to Matteawan after
the filing of the decision until a formal
order has been signed by the Judge.
This will have the effect OF keeping
Thaw in the Duchess county Jail for a
week longer for Judge Morschauser
will be at White Plains all this, week,
During this time, should the decision
be unfavorable to Thaw an effort will
be made to induce District Attorney
Jerome to consent to Thaw's commit
ment to one OF the state insane asy-
lums other than Matteawan.

SUIT DELAYED
TO FAVOR TAFT?
New Story of Why Government
Held Up Action Against
the New Haven
Road.
WILL NOT FIGHT FAVORITE
Taft Men Chosen for Chicago, But
Four of Mcllcn's Followers
Arc Seen in the
Lineup.

The rather strange holding up of the
suit Of the federal government against
the New Haven road In Washington
Friday. and the subsequent action by
Attorney General Bonaparte has given
rise to an interesting story concerning
the delay Of several months between
the first discussion Of the suit and the
decision by the government.
A man closely In touch with railroad
matters and one who Is thoroughly
versed in Connecticut politics, said last
night that the railroad company had
received strong assurances up to two
months ago that the suit would not be
Brought, at any rate Cor a long time.
Since then the road has been denying
knowledge Of any suit and the officers
here and in New York have stated
that no suit would be brought.
This authority added that one reason
for the delay In the suit was to swing
Connecticut solidly for Taft and to
send an instructed delegation to the
national convention. Had the rail-
road known OF the impending suit, It Is
argued, It's influence would have gone
against Taft, the administration can
didate. and an attempt would have
been made to carry Connecticut for
some one of the other candidates. With
the assurance that the suit would not
| be brought the railroad seemed to keep
It's hands Off the selection of the dele
cation. and the convention which nam
ed the men was strong for Taft.
Now while looking over the personel
of the delegation It Is easy to see that
the railroad was not neglected In the
choices, and that II necessary there
could be a decided split In the delega-
ton. Two directors Of the New Ha-
ven road are on the delegation, Charles
r. Brooker Of Ansonia, national COM
mitteeman, and Edwin Miner OF
Moosup. Two other strong railroad
men represent Litchleld and New Ha-
ven counties. Major Dennis A. Blakes-
lee, who goes from New Haven is one
of the leading contractors of the road
and j. Henry Roraback Of Canaan is
one of the roads chief lobbyists. Mr.
Blakeslee has never been especially
strong for Taft, and the four men to-
gether could split the delegation.
In spite of the argument of this au.
thority It does not seem probable tina
this delay in bringing the suit was du'
to the desire to carry Connecticut fol
Taft alone. The Presidents action II
the Brownsville case alienated all ever
more powerful political power from
any candidate he might have, than thu
New Haven road possesses. But thu
authority argues that while the della!
could do no harm. It might do a grea
deal of good to the Presidents candi
date.
That the President delayed the sui
because OF his friendship for Presiden
Mellen is plainly seen 20 be wrong, a
for over a year there have been som
serious differences existing betwee
them.

HACKETT GOOD ENOUGH ONCE.



Although officially the board of ed
ucation has settled the suceessorship
to Principal John G. Lewis of the
Webster school by the appointment on
Friday night of George L. Farley Of
Brooklne, Mass, the agitation that a
local man should and could have been
appointed will not down. While Mr..
Farley Is undoubtedly all what his
hackers claimed for him and will per-
schools there Is still a strong opinion
among citizens generally that a good
man could have been found here. 1t
has even been charged that New Ha-
veners, for reasons unknown to the
general public, have been boycotted
so far as getting one of the good jobs
Is concerned and while they will be
helped to get just as good job some
where else they cannot have one here.
As an instance of this they point to
the case of Instructor William II.
Hackett of the high school, who was
one of the local candidates. but who
was declared unqualified by Superin-
tendent Beede.
On May s, 1908, Mr.. Beede wrote
to Mr. Hackett; In my opinion you
neither have had the experience nor
possess the qualifications necessary

cipal.'

VIEWS OF cAmPAu
 ON THE SITUATION

w WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 7.- Daniel Campau, democratic national committeeman for Michigan. with ex- Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas, democratic national chairman in 1896 and 1900. called on William J. Bryan at the New Willard on Sunday, on which occasion it has been alleged that Mir. Jones requested, even de- handed, of Bryan that he retire as a democratic presidential possibility. MT. Campau gave this version of the call:
 T accompanied Senator Jones to Mir. Bryan's rooms and we were to- gether there most of the afternoon. No man in the room, Mir Bryan, MT. Jones and myself, discussed democrat ic politics, and 1 am sure that at no time did Mir. Jones request or demand of MT. Bryan that he retire. I anne certain about this. We discussed re- publican politics, the probable candi- date of the republican party, and not a word was said about Bryan retiring. He is to be the candidate of the dem ocratic party for president, and of that there is no possible doubt. When I read some of the papers I called up

 league is to have a meeting in Chi. cago on February 22 to elect a na- tional committeeman. I believe that
 MT. Hearst will support MT. Bryan
 because he could not successfully ap.
