COME TO AID HARRY IHAW
Three Doctors and Nurse to Testify
in His Behalf.

Out of Asylum-Frame
Question.

New York. Jan. 25-The expected Wit
uesses for Harry X Thaw got into town
to-day from the steamer Adriauc- There
were three doctors and a nurse.
They will be called to the stand on
Monday and it is expected that they
will testify, that while Thaw was In
London, Paris. and Rome, he was ir-
rational The defense expects to get
through with its case next week.
Mrs. Thaw called on her husband in
the Tombs to-day. She complained that
the newspapers had been hard on her.
She said that there had not been any
quarrel between her and her husband.
Martin W. LittIeton, Thaw's chief
counsel, will now devote his energies to
an attempt to keep him out OF Mat
teawan.
He is prepared to combat any effort on
the part Of the district attorney TO ex-
anime witnesses as to Thaw's present
mental condition. Jerome viii argue that
if Thaw was crazy when arrested, he is
still so.
This is just what Littleton intends t
avoid if he can. He has seen to it that
neither Or. Evans, Or. Wagner, nor DIR
Jeuifee has examined Thaw since a yeal
age.
If Jerome questions them, Littleton vii
argue they are not qualified to answer
and he expects to be upheld by the court.
The jury may convict of murder in two
degrees. of the several degrees of man
slaughter, or even of simple assault Still
again, it may return an unqualified YER
dict of aCquittal; Of acquittal on the
ground that Thaw was insane when tn,
crime was committed or verdict Of no
guilty on the grounds OF insanity.
If a verdict of not guilty is returned
| Jerome will ask that Thaw be recommit

mental condition
In either event LittletOn is prepared 4

London. Jan. 25-War between the
United States and Japan is not only
certainty, according to Senor Paul Soler,
now councillor of the Spanish Embassy
at the Quirinal, according 10 a Rome dis
patch, but final success will remain with
Japan
He is the first well-known diplomat to
publicly assert although several have in
timated privately, that the Mikado's
forces would triumph over the Western
Empire even as they did over Russia.
Soler was formerly an undeT-secretary
Of the Spanish Legation at Washington.
and later spent several years as an at
tsche Of the legation at Tokyo. Not only
does he believe that Japan will sweep
Evans feet from the seas, but will land
a mighty army of invasion on the Pa
cihc Slope Of the United States.
"To be frank" SoleT declares, 'I think
that the optimism expressed in Tokyo
and the United States as 10 the outcome
OF the differences between the japanese
and the American people is largely hyper
critical
"The japanese, for their part, with their
customary insincerity, are trying 10 de-
ceive the Americans, and the latter, in
their turn either wish to deceive them
selves OF 10 conceal their beliefs from
the world.
Looks for Outbreak.
so many grave disturbances have oc-
CURED IN America, and especially in Cali
fornia, In consequence of the feeling
against the japanese, that it is impossible
to foresee what this race hatred may pro-
duce when the Californians feel the moral
support of the powerful fleet under Ad-
miral Evans on the Pacific,
ut is surely not impossible that the
anti-Japanese movement may reach such
a point of intensity as to create provo
cation which it would be impossible for
Japan to overlook. This development, ]
believe. Japan has already anticipated.
LAS a matter Of fact, Japan seems not
only 10 desire war. but 10 be preparing
for it. Owing 20 its present economical.
weakness il hopes conflict with the rich
American republic would result IN heavy
benefits. II has not been forgotten in
japan that it was largely due TO America
that japan did not gather from her series
of victories over Russia all the material
advantages TO which she considered neT
self entitled.
1T is also notorious that the president
Of tie japanese delegation sent to Ports
mouth to negotiate the terms of peace IN
replying TO a friends question at the con
clusion Of the preliminary arrangements
said with a smile, Certainly this treaty
of peace does not even allow Japan what
is required to cover our war expenses

cumulated interest
