large to the Chicago convention, has re-
turned TO Washington

short address 10 the National Distillers

at that place.
Discussing some OF the incidents OF the
convention, Mr.. Capers said that one Of
the things with which he was most i'm
pressed was that there was no general
feeling against Mr.. Taft among the col
ored delegates 10 the convention or among
the colored voters OF the West with whom
he came in contact. rather striking
feature Of this was illustrated by Mr.
Capers' delegation to the convention. The
delegation Of eighteen was composed of
twelve colored and six white men. OF
this number. Mr.. Taft received fourteen
votes, Mr.. Foraker two, and Mr.. Fair
banks two. one of the four opposing Taft

Thaw Gives Out Statement.
Thaw to-day gave out the following in
terview on his case:
Before the last writ was served we
knew from our alienists that my sanity
was perfect and, therefore, made no ade-
quate preparation for the hearing before
Judge Morschauser The doctor al Mat
teawan told my lawyers and me. and told
Dr. Pilgrim in the middle Of April, after
had been there ten weeks. that he and
DR.. Lamb had watched me carefully. and
that they were positive that had not the
slightest symptom Of paranoia.
After what he had stated to all these
gentlemen, we were not prepared for the
way he testified.
In consequence Of this. although Mr..
Jerome did not prove that I was not
sane. he did not prove my sanity as
thoroughly as we should have. and my
short examination late on the last night
did not improve our case. There was a
general feeling that the present question
concerned my trials. whereas It was
simply whether I am not in my right
mind.
Doctors Favorable TO Him.
"All the doctors who have seen and
examined me have no doubt OF my san
ity whatever, except DIR. Baker. and
until the writ was served and he visited
me. no one could be more positive than
he was that l had no delusions OF any
kind, and was absolutely free from para
noia may add that after the service Of
the writ my lawyers prohibited me from
speaking TO him in any way about the
case DR.. Baker did testify that neither
he nor DR. Lamb believe in the mania
oppressive story.
Under all these circumstances. I can
not object to Judge Morschauser's de-
cision, but my counsel wish TO present
the case carefully. and they have no
doubt whatever as 20 the result.
They do not wish me to return TO
Matteawan. nor do l. After the con-
finement to which have been sub
jected. the association with criminal
lunatics might ruin my health
The fact that I am well mentally and
physically after two long trials and nine
teen months In the Tombs, and three
months at Matteawan in itself prac-
tically proves that my condition is nor
NAL in every way"
