HIS ANSWERS CONSISTENT
But He Was Too Excited to Pur-
sue Any One Line OF
Questions.
Atty. Idttlcton Docs Not Deem it Aa-
visabIe 10 Make an Early Attempt
10 Have Him Released.

Albany y. Y, Feb. 4.-Dr. Allen
Ferris. president Of the lunatfc COM
mission, who visited Harry Thaw yes
terday at Matteawan, said that Thaw
appeared very nervous and excitablc,
but that on such a short notice, 1t
would be impossible to come to any
conclusion as to his permanent mental
condition.
The prisoner was very cordial ana
gentiemanly TO me-" said DR.. Ferris.
Il talked with him in a private room
for about 20 minutes Just after he had
been in conversation with his wife. He
was too excited for me to pursue any
one C~e of questions, but was con-
slstent in his answers He talked
about the architecture of the asylum,
saying he thought it was rather crude.
and said that better provision ought
to be made for protection against the
wind. He also said that he remember
ed me at the trial. and that he had
intended inviting me as one of his ex-
perts, apparently forgetting that l had
testified for the state and against him
at the first trial"
MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.
New York. Feb. Al the counsel of
Martin w. Littleton prevails. 1t does
not appear TO be likely that an early at
tempt win be made to have Harry *.
Thaw released from Matteawan asylum
on habeas corpus proceedings. He said
today that there was no need TO OBJ
tain habeas corpus. "Thaw has been
acquitted of the charge of murder and
is not a criminal said he. He is at
Matteawan for the purpose of observa-
ton only. If the conditions and sur
roundings there are such that his
health may be impaired, 1t is incumbent
on the state board of.lunhay 10 have
him removed to an Institution where
other conditions and surroundings pre-
Vail.'
Daniel O'Reilly, another of Thaw's
attorneys, went to Matteawan today TO
consult with the prisoner regarding
possible future steps looking TO his
release from custody,
DR. Ferris said that Thaw did not
appear to be respondent and that he is
being treated the same as any other
person.
Thaw spent last night in private
room Immediately adjoining the ward
in which he has been since he was TAX
en- to the institution. He said today,
however. that the slightly changed sur
roundings had not relieved him of the
sleeplessness with which he had been
troubled since he has been at the asy-
lum. Daniel O'Reilly was accompan
led by Mrs. Evelyn Thaw, the prisoners
wife, when he visited the hospital to-
day. After they had left and were
about to return to this city Mrs. Thaw
said:
what q terrible place II is. l think
1t is awful. l would be crazy myself
If ! stayed there a week II the law
yer's don't make move TO get Harry
out right away, shall do something
myself. During the day he has TO sit
with all these unfortunate people and
l don't wonder he becomes excited"

JOCKEY CLUB PAMPHLET ON
THE TRUTH ABOUT RACING

New York, Feb. 1.-The Jockey
club has isseud a pamphlet entitled
THE Truth About Racing" which is
Intended as an answer to the various
criticisms against the sport which
have been used by Gov. Hughes and
others to advocate the abolition of bet.
ting at race tracks in New York state.
The pamphlet defends racing as a sport
and calls attention to the fact that IL
has caused a great advance in horse
breeding and has greatly increased
the value of American horses.
In describing the race tracks. the
pamphlet says that the sport is one
that is enjoyed by hundreds of thous-
ands of people. or those who 50 10
the track 90 per cent, the pamphlet
states, don't go for betting. but for
the sport. The Jockey club, it IS
claimed, has done more than any 9TH
er agency to close the pool rooms in
the city of New York, and for that
reason, the pamphlet says, the pool
rooms are anxious to have local race
tracks closed.
The question Of betting on horse
racing Is one of morals" continues
the publication, yet, the amendments
asked for aim at an act which Is not
sought TO be prevented in other fields
ity in betting upon a thoroughbred
test of speed than Is connected with
election betting, wages on poker and
bridge whist, or speculation upon the
rise and fall in the price of stocks

Lake Charity association, is watching
eagerly every sign OF resuming spring
activity in building or other work.
At the Oregon Short Line depot all
labor is being supplied through the
Charity association, which is giving strict
preference to men OF families, whose
families are in want. At this work, and
at several other smaller Jobs the associa-
ton today and yesterday put 100 men to
work, and cut the list OF unemployed
down to 400 from over 500.
At the Rio Grande yards Il Is expected
that more men will be needed within the
next few days, and Capt Woods is trying
to find out what chance there is there
for unemployed men of families. We
are watching the situation closely" said
Capt. Woods this morning. II had an or
der today from mine to send out
couple of men. / wlsn that the public
and all centers employing men fully UNI
derstood that we are here In position
to give work to exactly the people who
need II worst.
These are the times when IT Is a part
of good citizenship to look out Tor the
men of family, and these are no times
to employ foreign labor until at least
the mon Of family are provided ] wish to
thank Mr.. Bancroft OF the oregon Short
Line for adopting this policy ana allowing
us to furnish the men for his depot eN-
caNdtlOnt,
While the work at the short Line depot
Is the only piece actually under way II Is
expected that the construction of a bicy
Gle racing track at Saltair Will be COM
menced in a few days. ana that Il will
offer opportunity for stll more married
men to go to work.
Another probable source being in
vestigated Is the construction OF the new
car barns on Sixth East street. II is cN-
pected that they will start as soon as
the weather permits, and Capt, Woods
expects considerable help for the labor
situation from them-
