THAW CAN'T GET WELL.
That Is Opinion of DIR. Albert Ferris of
New York Lunacy Commission.

Albany, July 1.-Dr. Albert Warren
Ferris, president Of the state commits
sion in lunacy. in a statement made
public on the mental condition of
Harry X Thaw. says: Tr@
That there are some differences of
opinion as to the form Of Thaw's in
sanity, but those who have studied his
case agree that he is of unstable men
tai condition and the past shows that
he is homicidal."
DR.. Ferris says that for the safety
of the community patients with Mr..
Thaw's unfortunate hereditary faint,
with his long history of mental alien
alton and with his insta bility of men
tai poise and demonstrated homicidal
impulse should be cared for In hos
pital for people of his mental classes,
the community should not be subjected
to the risk of experiments entered
upon from sentimental reasons
Unfortunate sick people who are
cared for in that hospital are not pun
ished. The institution was established
for the care OF insane committed on
orders of courts of criminal jurisdic-
ton for persons convicted of petty
crimes or misdemeanors mot felons)
becoming insane while undergoing
sentence and also for patients exhibit
ing criminal tendencies who cannot be
cared for with safety in other state
hospitals
THE term brain storm is not scien-
tific nor elegant and would not be
used In connection with insane case.
The outbreaks of ungovernable fury or
the intervals during which a patient
suffering from periodical insanity.
yields to his impulse come. without
premonitory symptoms and at various
times"
Dr. Ferris expressed himself as
pleased with the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Bowling, denying the
application to have Thaw committed
elsewhere than to Matteawan. He de-
clares that Thaw's experts. at his sec
ond trial, proved to the satisfaction of
Justice Bowling apparently that Mr..
Thaw was afflicted with a constitu-
tional affection which will not termi-
nate in recovery. They laid the foun-
dalton for a belief that he is a per-
manent victim of periodical insanity.
According to their convincing argu-
ments and history he may recover from
isolated attacks and re-enter the nor
NAL state, but unfortunately the
slightest moral cause will reproduce
the disease"

MURPHY STARTS FOR DENVER.
VIII Not COncede the Nomination of
Bryan.

DEHdH.
New York July 1-Charles F. Muir
ply of Tammany Hall and some of his
associates in the city Democratic or
ganization started today for Denver
over the New York Central From
Chicago on they will follow the line of
the Rock Island road, reaching the
o'clock in the afternoon. Asked II he
had anything to tell prior to his de-
parture, Mr.. Murphy said:
"I will say that we will not regard
anyone as nominated by the Demo-
cratic national convention until the
vote has been taken and the ballots
counted. So as far as the New York
delegation is concerned we are going
to Denver to deliberate"
Mr.. Murphy will, it is said. direct
his efforts at Denver towards securing
the second place on the ticket for
Martin w. Littleton, former borough
president of Brooklyn.
BY an odd coincidence and the
merest chance. Senator p. H. McCar-
rem of Brooklyn. whose fight against
Tammany because of the unseating of
his Brooklyn delegation in the state
convention is to be taken before the
convention, is to travel on the same
train with Mr.. Murphy at least as far
as Chicago. With the Murphy con-
tingent will go Alton B. Parker and
most of the more prominent .politi-
clans in Tammany. Mr.. Parker is to
be the representative of the state in
the committee on resolutions accord
ing to the present programme and
Martin w. Littleton is to make a fight
on the floor of the convention against
anything resembling a radical plat
form.

PRESIDENT ON A PICNIC.

Oyster Bay. July 1.-President
Roosevelt and sons wore a good coat
of tan when they returned to Saga
more hill late last evening from the
picnic in the woods by the waters edge
at Lloyd Neck on the sound. The en-
tire party had a delightful time, they
reported and looked 1t. The president
himself was in happy mood and had
evidently thoroughly enjoyed the three
mile row that he took with one of the
boys up the sound to the picnic
grounds and the days outing with his
family.

children made the trip to Lloyd Neck

on the way he should co.
His routine campaign work began
in way. as it consisted of signing
several thousands of letters which he
had written in response to congratu-
latOry messages received by mail and
by telegram These came not only
from every part of this country, but
civilized world. In most of the impor-
tant countries of the world. Mr.. Taft
has warm personal friends who took
delight. in sending him fluctuations
and good wishes. 1t is doubtful
whether any man nominated for pub
lie office in recent years received so
many messages of congratulations as
has Mr.. Taft. They are contained in
several large boxes and constitute a
veritable library. Despite rumors and
conjectures regarding the selection of
a chairman of the Republican nation
al committee, assurance is given that
the choice of Mr.. Taft as yet has fai-
len definitely upon no man. Tentative
ly. at least two decisions have been
reached since the subcommittee of TIE
national committee conferred with Mr..
Taft in Cincinnati, June 20. but in
both instances the decision practically
had to be abandoned.
Mr.. Taft expects to have a confer
ence on the subject late this after
noon with Arthur I. Vorys, the Ohio
manager of his preliminary campaign.
1t is reasonably certain that Mr..
vorys himself will not be selected, al
though he is likely to be identified
with the campaign in an important
position.
At noon today General Luke E.
Wright took the oath of office as sec
rotary of war. Escorted by the retiring
secretary, William H. Taft, Governor
Wright passed from the private office
of the secretary in the general recep-
ton room. There. surrounded by prom
inent army officers and officials OF the
war department, the oath was admin
istered to Secretary Wright by John
Randolph, the veteran assistant to
Chief Clerk Schofield of the depart
ment.
Mr. Randolph had administered the
oath of office to four previous secre-
taries of war, including Mr.. Taft.
An informal reception of the bureau
chiefs, division chiefs and clerks of
the department and army officers sta
toned I'm Washington, was held in the
secretary's private office by Mr. Taft
and Secretary Wright Soon after the
reception Mr.. Taft. accompanied by
Secretary Wright, went to the home Of
General Clarence r. Edwards, chief of
the bureau of insular affairs. for
luncheon. Other guests at the lunch
were Mr.. Taft, Miss Helen Taft, Mas
ter Charlie Taft and Mr.. and Mrs. Post
Wheeler. s

BRYAN Is A BUSY MAN.
Now Receives Three Thousand Letter.
a Day.

Lincoln, Neb. July IA movement
with much local enthusiasm back of
1t has been started to have Mr.. Bryan,
in the event of his nomination for the
presidency in Denver, receive the
notification committee at Fair View.
In advance of action by the conven-
ton the subject is one on which Mr..
Bryan will not talk. Mayor Brown of
Lincoln and Tom Allen, Mr.. Bryan's
brother-in-law, were in conference
with the Democratic leader at Fair
View last night on the subject but de-
tails are lacking.
Among many Of Mr.. Bryan's friends
II is believed that valuable political
capital could be made by having the
notification take place in some large
city. preferably New York. 1t is
argued that the natural enthusiasm of
such an occasion should be made the
most of as a campaign asset.
Mr.. Bryan rose early today and with
his secretary. Robert F. Rose, renewed
his attack on an immense pile of cor
an average of 5000 pieces of mail
daily. and even with the assistance of
his brother. Charles w. Bryan. and a
staff of stenographers. is unable to
make much Roadway in answering the
multitudinous queries that come from
all parts OF the country.
Aside from the visit of Charles A.
Towne. which Is scheduled for tomor-
row evening, Mr.. Bryan expects few
visitors before Friday or Saturday. On
these two days many delegations will
be passing through Lincoln on their
way to Denver. AS the convention at
the Colorado capital does not open I'M
til July Z, the delegations and political
clubs will have sufficient time to stop
long enough to pay their respects to
the Nebraskan. Many have signified
their intentions of so doing and it is
anticipated that the historic front
porch at Canton will soon have a
parallel at Fair View.
Mr.. Bryan's first public engagement
before the convention is scheduled for
Friday night. when. he will be the
guest of the Iowa Travelling Mems as
ISOLATION at a banquet here. Mr.. Bry-
an. however. will make no set speech.
"I'll let others do the talking" said
he today. They've heard me too Of
ten. Just few remarks. that's air.
Mr.. Bryan found time to hand out

dollar to caller today who bore on
his person the marks OF box car travel

the visitor gave and he declared that

standing on the porch and looking be-
seechingly at the Democratic candi-
date.
II thought So" was the reply. ''Will
this help you out any," he asked, as
he slipped a dollar into the hand of
the needy one.
Bryan Won't Discuss Vice President.
When Mr.. Bryan was shown the re-
port that he was credited with favoring
John B. Stanchfield of New York, for
vice president in the event that Judge
Gray is not available, he said:
The vice presidency is matter 1
will not discuss"
The vice presidency undoubtedly will
be discussed this afternoon when Chas.
A Towne reaches Fair View. Mr..
Towne Is due at 1886 p. m. On Mr..
Towne's candidacy as on others. Mr..
Bryan Is silent to interviewers. Prior
to Mr.. TONNES visit close political
friends of Mr.. Bryan discussed Towne
and Stanchfield. 1t was the general
opinion that Judge Gray is the leaders
favorite, but, that he is disposed to
keep hands strictly of the matter. Il
have known Mr.. Bryan intimately for
Denver said Mayor Brown today.
yet Mr.. Bryan has not intimated to
me that he desires me to vote for any
particular vice presidential candidate.
Personally am for Judge Gray. be-
lieve that he would be strong with the
labor and with the business interests
alike. 1 have seen it repeatedly stated
that Mr.. Towne claims that Mr.. Bryan
favors his candidacy. I believe how
ever. that Mr.. Towne is mistaken Mr..
Bryan is supporting no one at present.
so far as his friends here know"
When Miller reached the tent
where the newspaper correspondents
stay. he said:
Mr.. Bryan gave me a dollar and
he remembered me, too. I was driv-
ing the barouche which he was rid
ing in Cleveland one time, years ago.
/ told him just now that 1 was on
the reception committee and sure l
was. for 1 drove the barouche. When
he left the carriage swiped the flag
that decorated it. Mr.. Bryan saw me
do it. but he knew L took 1t as
memento. When I called on him this
morning 1 said to him: 7 am the
man that swiped the flag in Cleve-
land. Do you remember me?' and he
said 4 do and shook hands with me.
Then he slipped this coin into my
hand" .-. .-----

of the Eighth district of Iowa, H. Nc
Brinn, of Junction City, Kan. the Rev.
George j. Batty and Mrs. Batty of
Avoca, Neb. and George Wagner Of
Topeka. Kan.
The air at Fair View was cool and
freshing and Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan and
Secretary Robert F. Rose worked dill
gently on the correspondence. Mr.
Bryan was called away from this duty
by his visitors. but Mrs. Bryan and
Mr.. Rose stayed right with the cores
pondence. They have nearly caught
up and the candidates desk was rea-
sonably clean of unanswered letters.
