EXPERTS |: ON STAND
Indications That the Thaw Trial
Is Nearing the End.
COURT LIMITS WITNESSES

Announces That Each Side May Call
Only Three Alienists to Testify in
case-Doctors Wagner and Evans
Appear for the Defense. -:
New York, Jan. 24.-The reign Of
the expert has begun in the Thaw
trial. Or. Charles G. Wagner, super
tntendent of the state hospital for the
insane at Binghampton, N. Y, was on
the stand during most Of the morning
session and told in great detail of the
three examinations he made during
visits to Harry Thaw in the Tombs
prison during the four months follow.
ing the killing of Stanford White.
He was also allowed to repeat his
conversations with Thaw during the
visits to the prisoner when the latter
talked about his life and about the
alleged criminal acts of Stanford
White. Thaw declared, according to
DR.. Wagner, that he had never in.
tended to attack White, but Provi.
dence took the matter in hand.
There were few new details in the
physicians testimony, but in general
it was repetition of what he said
last year at the first trial. DR.. Wag-
ner did not express his formal opinion
as to Thaw's state of mind, this being
left open until a few other witnesses
Of facts have put their evidence into
the record.
Justice Bowling held a conference
with the attorneys as to limiting the
expert testimony and it was said it
might be that each side will use but
two physicians, although the defense
is likely to call several more in sur
rebuttal of any evidence that may ap-
pear in the states rebuttal case.
Court Limits Number Of Experts.
With the opening of the afternoon
session Justice Bowling announced
that he would allow the prosecution
and defense to call three experts each
and no more.
DR.. Britton D. Evans, superintend-
ent of the New Jersey state hospital
for the insane at Morris Plains, who
introduced the brain storm" into the
case last year, then took the stand to
give his testimony as to facts as Dr..
Wagner had done, both physicians
being subject to recall later to answer
a hypothetical question covering all
the evidence in the case.
The end of the Thaw trial is in
sight. The greater part of the evil
dence in the case is now in the hands
of the jury and save for the technical
evidence of the alienists practically
all the testimony that the defense is
expected to offer has been given. It
is likely that several alienists will be
called upon to dispute the defendants
experts and some of the minor points
of the defense may be questioned or
contradicted by the prosecution, but
there is now little doubt that the case
will be finally placed in the hands of
the jury by the latter part of next
week.
The defense has all of the experts
who testified for the prosecution at
the last trial under subpoena.

men had been going on for many
months and in spite of the fact that
they went disguised and by this means
constantly changed their appearance
they were finally located by the po-
lice and Swallowed. All three gathered
together in house near here. The
police then came down on them and
the house was surrounded by Cara
Diners. After all precautions had been
taken six policemen forced their way
into the room where the men were.
There was desperate fight, but the

FOR MANHOOD SUFFRAGE
Agitation in Germany Continues &c

Brunswick, Germany, Jan. 24.-The
agitation in favor of manhood suffrage
is spreading Throughout this state. In
Brunswick, as we'll as in Berlin and
elsewhere in Germany, there is a dis
position to make governmental condi-
tons responsible for business depres-
sion. The Socialists are constantly
advancing the idea that the economic
reorganization of society cannot be
attained until the right of government
is derived solely from the people and
contend that the first great step to-
ward making living easier is to win
control of the state through elections
Motions have. been drawn up by
both the Socialists and the Conserva-
tive parties asking how the present
electoral laws could be amended and
improved and they we're introduced in
the diet. 1t was decided to consider
them and the house thereupon appoint

Any New Appropriations for Rivers
and Harbors Nor for Erection Of
Public Buildings.
Washington, Jan. 24.-In accordance
with notice previously given Chair,
man TaWney of the committee on ap'
preparations called up for considera.
ton by the house the urgent de.
ficiency appropriation bill. An agree
ment was reached to devote the en-
tire day to general debate on the
measure, which carries total appro-
priation Of $24,074,450.
In explanation of the bill Mr.. Taw,
ney sounded a note of warning and
said that on the face of the estimates
submitted to congress for the next
fiscal year the country was confront.
ed with certain deficit of 100000,
600. These estimates, therefore,
would have to be materially revised
and the figures reduced.
Mr. Tawney declared that he
deemed it his duty to call attention to
this fact in order that expenditures
may be kept within estimated rev
enues. II do not make this state
ment for the purpose of exciting
alarm he said, cor for the purpose OF
exciting any apprehension in the mind
of any one regarding the ability OF
our government to meet all of its
obligations now existing or that this
congress may create"
He said he appreciated the fact that
his reference to possible deficit
would not "be received with favor
here or - anywhere else, especially
where there is a sentiment for in
creased expenditures" but still he
felt it his duty to state the facts.
Continuing, Mr.. Tawney said he had
been ultra-cons ervative in his state
ment of the financial condition of the
country.
Replying to question by Mr.. Clark
(Mo.) Mr.. Tawney made it plain that
there would be no new appropriations
this session for rivers and harbors OF
public buildings, for, he said, his cal
culations did not include them.
Mr.. Mann Qll.) referred to the
promises of both parties that If sue
cessful at the next election they
would revise the tariff and inquired
of Mr.. Tawney if it was not true that
always Immediately preceding a re
vision of the tariff there was a great
decline in the customs receipts of the
government.
Mr.. Tawney replied that such was
the case and said there was always a
decrease in the internal revenues as

Old Superstition Refuted,
By J. L. Ashlock. Washington State College.
Pullman.

By J. L. Ashlock. Washington State College.
Pullman.
The results OF an experiment, which
for the past fifteen years has been in
progress at the state experiment sta.
tion, completely refutes the old super.
stition that cold January and Febru-
ary is apt to be followed by a warm
March and April, or that one year Of
an average low temperature is apt to
be followed by year in which the
temperature will average higher.
Professor George Severance now has
the compilation Of the weather data in
charge, and states the summarization
of results as follows:
"For the past fifteen years the ex.
pertinent station has kept close rec
ord of the temperature Of each day OF
the year, striking an average between
the temperature Of morning and oven.
ing, which we call the mean tempera.
ture.' Having kept the record for a
month the custom has then been to get
the average mean for the entire
month. In this way we have COM
pared the temperatures of each period
of January and February with the tem-
perature Of the following March and
April periods for the past fifteen years,
and We find that the variations from
the rule for determining what the tenn
perature Of spring will be by the tenn
perature of winter, Of one year by aver
aging the temperature Of another, are
so frequent that it is proved that the
weather of one year or month, or sew.
>eral months, is absolutely no index to
what subsequent temperatures will be.

WEST Is ADVANCING.
President Bryan Compares Schools
With Those of Europe,

~ eotOR0s
President e. A. Bryan, of the Wash.
ington State college, has returned from
his tour OF the European capitols, and
at present is preparing series of lee.
lures, the subjects Of which he gathered
while abroad. President Bryan,s trim
was something in the nature Of an in.
vestigation Of modern education, both
technical and classical, as found in the
most advanced and greatest educational
institutions Of nations. Before leaving
America he visited several of Americas
most famous institutions, and both in
England and on the continent called at
the worlds best known centers of learn
ing. His conclusions were recently
stated as follows:
II believe the time is not remotely
distant when the educational institu-
tions OF the West, meaning the western
part OF the United States, will be fully
as efficient, and as famed as the best
universities and colleges of the old
world. The tremendous fund OF natu-
raj wealth in Western states, the rapid
Development now in progress, the geo.
graphical position with reference to the
new commercial empire CT the Pacific,
and tie wide-awake nature OF Western
people make these things. certain.
Never again will men have a Western
frontier to look to when seeking new
homes for the expansion o: new ideas.
Humanity has made its path al ound the
globe, and now, at the journeys end,
the Pacific coast, must there be an up.
building, and intensive, rather than ex-
tensive, development of all institu-
lions. What this means TO the people
OF the West they do not at present fully
comprehend. But the progress Of
events nowadays is very rapid, and the
work Of these new forces will be evi.
dent within only few years.
