LANG CASE is
DUE NEXT WEEK

New Brunswick, Sept. 4:-Judge
Booraem has fixed next Wednesday,.
September ., as the date for the
hearing on the application of Alan
H. Strong, counsel for Frederick
Lang, to have Lang committed to
the state hospital as an insane per-
son.
Lang is under sentence of death
on September 25, next, for the MUIR
der of his niece, Katie Gordon, at
Piscataway, in April, 1906.
When the case Is called next week
special jury will be empanelled by
Sheriff Church to hear the evidence,
which will deal only with matters di-
rectly pertaining to the mental con-
dition of the young Hungarian MUIR
derer. The case was referred to
Judge Booraem by Justice Bergen,
who about two months ago resen-s
fenced Lang to death.
If Lang is declared by the jury TO
be irresponsible, he will be commit
ted to the asylum. The question to
decide Will be whether he Is crazy
now, not whether he was mentally
unbalanced when he shot the girl.
On the other hand. If the Jury de-
clares Lang sane, there VIII be moth
ing to prevent his counsel from
carrying the decision up to the high
est court for review, so there may be
another long delay in the case.
Judge Booraem has requested DR..
Harry Cotton. of the Trenton Hospi-
tai, and DR.. Britton d. Evans. Of the
Morris Plains Hospital. to be pres
ent next Wednesday and advise the
court as to Lang's mental condition.

THINKS THAW SANE

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 22.-Dr. Ferris, pres
ident of the state commission on lunacy.
said today that Harry Kendall Thaw. ac-
Quilted Of the murder of Stanford White
on the ground of insanity, was being
closely watched by Superintendent Lamb
of the state hospital for the insane at
Matteawan. Dr. Ferris said that the pro-
cedure i'm such cases as Thaw's is to OBJ
serve the patient for the first sixty days
of his confinement and at the end of that
period, If he is regarded by the superin-
tendent as sane. a report to that effect
will be made 10 the court. IL Thaw is
believed by the superintendent after he
has made his examinations and observa-
lions to be insane. it is unlikely that a

ALL THREE CHlOROFORMED
Mother, Daughter and Latter's Son
Found Dead in Their Cottage
Home at Denver,

Denver. Feb. 22.-Late this afternoon
the bodies of Mrs. Mary z. Nixon, aged
so. her daughter, Mrs. E. y. Canter.
aged 80, and the 12-year-old son of the
latter we're found lying in the cottage
which had been their home in this city.
Each had a sponge tied over the mouth
and nose and death evidently resulted
from chloroform or ether. Mrs Canter
is known to have been mentally de-
ranged and the police believe she was
the prime author of the deed either in
ducing her mother to commit suicide
with her or chloroforming both her son
and mother before administering the
drug to herself. The three had been
dead about week when their bodies
were discovered. There were 40 9TH
er members of the family.

ENTHUSIASM
AWAKENED BY
Vim. ]. BRYAN
One of the Greatest Democrat
ic Gatherings in History
of Kansas.
BANQUET AT TOPEKA
PRONOUNCED SUCCESS
NEBRASKAN BELIEVES THIS
YEAR THE PEOPLE WILL
WIN VICTORY.

Topeka, Kan. Feb. 22.-The appear
ahce of w. ]. Bryan here tonight was
made the occasion for one of the great
est Democratic gatherings ever held in
Kansas. 1t is estimated that 1900 ban
queters sat down at 1880 tonight at the
long tables in the city auditorium. The
balcony was packed with visitors and
those who did not secure banquet tick
cts One ofsthe features of the banquet
was that ii was open to women and
children and many of these were seat
ed at the tables.
The Nebraskan was forced to make a
brief speech on his arrival at the hotel
about o'clock. The lobby was damned
and he was finally forced to stop. He
removed his coat and made a short
talk.
In his er-banquet speech Bryan as
sailed the position taken by the rail-
road leaders of the country that hostile
state legislation is today responsible for
the depressed condition in railroad af-
fairs.
NO" he declared vehemently, "the
financial troubles are not due to state
legislation. But the conditions are due
more TO exaggeration and misrepresen-
tations which the railroad men of the
country used when trying TO intimidate
state legislators. They represented time
and again, that the reduction of pas
senger rates would bankrupt the rail-
roads. The misstatements which these
railroad men made TO the legislatures,
both state and national, has had more
10 do with the reduction of stock val
ues than the rate reductions have had. "
Mr.. Bryan also found reasons for the
recent financial troubles in ''watered
stock" and the lack of bank deposit
&uaranty legislation. THE big east
Arn banks" ne said, violated the law
at every turn, and did not keep suf-
ficient reserves on hand to meet the
demands for actual cash. Ii these re-
= serves had been kept up, we would have
had no difficulty. We must look to
some plan for guaranteeing the depos-
its in banks. a law passed by congress
could help only national banks, and the
states must take action which will pro-
tect the state banks. This is the only
measure which will restore and retain
confidence"
He reiterated his stand on the gov
eminent control of railroads and de-
clared that 1.-The principle has been es-
tablished in this country beyond doubt
and the only question which now re-
mains is how TO get it.
Democratic Year of Jubilee.
The speaker declared that he had
found the enthusiasm over the country
almost as great now as II is at the close
of the ordinary presidential campaign.
1.-THE people have become aroused,
he said, land they think it is time for a
change. The Republicans have much to
fear from the people. while the Demo-
Gratis have nothing and l firmly believe
that this is our year for victory for
and with the people"

telligence and patriotism of the voter.
Mr. Hearst asserted that it should
be the task of the league to. correct
some of the evils of high finance ami
to frame constructive legislation which
will encourage all legitimate business
enterprises. He said:
II plead for a new national party

plead for a permanent party, wholly
and tremendously committed to the
principles of Washington. jefferson,
Jackson and Lincoln.
No National Party.
Il define a party as a collection Of
individuals devoted to certain definite
principles, and active in politics, to
promote these principles, and l declare
that, according to that definition, there
is no national party in the United
States today.
Let us inauguTate party that is
founded on fundamental American
principles, that will be a national party
in the true sense Of the word. and let
US call ii the national party if you
will"
Mr.. Hearst's address was received
with much enthusiasm.
The provisional national committee,
of which Mr.. Hearst is chairman, was
authorized by resolution to call d ma
tional convention to nominate candi-
dates for the presidency and vice pres
idency after the Republican and
Democratic parties have held their
