tUFe Leaves Governor Busy,

day bills for the consideration Of Gov.
Hughes So far this year the governor

July g.
Last year the governor signed 257 Of
the thirty-day bills. and the total num-
Der Of laws Of 1907 was 764 This latter
number of new laws was the result Of
some 1,100 bills sent to the governor, the

ernor signed. including all those which

legislature, there being $3.50 in the assem-
bly, and LOO in the senate but the ten

measures, and thus many less than last
year were sent to the governor

the chamber awaiting the governor s
action. and the remainder are either still
in the hands of the clerks of the senate
or assembly waiting TO be entered up or
in the hands Of local authorities Of cities
for approval or rejection by municipali-
ties.
Just as the assembly was about 10

for Gov Hughes. The response was a
storm Of groans and Kisses. The band
came to the rescue with Hail to the
Chief" and the assembly laughed de-
risively. In the senate an interesting epi-
sode was Gradys valedictory.

LOSES HAND
BY LIVE WIRE
SEATTLE MAN IGNORANT oF
DANGER ATTEMPTS TO DRAG
WIRE FROM HIS PATHWAY IS
SEVERELY BURNED

SEATTLE, Jan. 3.-Ignorant of
the latent energy in a live wire,
Ph1llp Masculin, a 20-year-old Ital-
ian laborer, attempted to drag a
dangling wire out of the path of
pedestrians on King street, between
Maynard street and Seventh avenue
South, at 9 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. He is now at Hayside hospital,
the left forefinger burned off and
the middle finger so badly burned
that 1t will have to be amputated.
He also suffers severely from the
shock, $500 volts having passed
through him.
There We're several witnesses to
the accident, but the young Italian
grasped the wire before a voice of
warning could be raised. Apparently
intent only on dragging the strand
away so that 1t would not annoy
any who might pass that way, as 1t
hung at an alley intersection of
King street, he took hold of it with
his left hand and as he was thrown
into the mud he could not release
his grasp.
The shock rendered him uncon-
scious, and in this condition he was
rolled away from the wire with
sticks. He did not regain conscious
ness until almost an hour had
elapsed. Sergeant of Police Mike
Powers and Patrolman ]. Keefe
cared for him until the ambulance
arrived and removed him to/efe hos
pital.
The wire, which had broken from
the Independent Telephone COM
pany's line, fell across a city light
Ing wire and it was charged with
$500 volts of electricity. At 5
o'clock this morning the matter was
reported by the police to both the
CITY lighting department and the
telephone comnanv. but when Mas
cnltn was taken away at 10 o'clock
nobody had mt in an appearance
to repair the broken wire,

INSANITY
Wit HOUT FRILLS
COUNSEL FOR HARRY THAw DE.
eide UPON THAT LINE OF DE.
TENSE IN RETRIAL OF CASE
WHICH BEGINS MONDAY

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-Counsel
for Harry K. Thaw consulted yes
terday and it was reported that it
had definitely agreed that the only
defense to be made would be insan-
ity at the time Stanford White was
killed. 1t will be contended, how
ever, that Thaw is now sane. Those
in conference were Martin w. Lit
Teton, Daniel OReilly and A. Rus
sell Peabody.
The defense, 1t is said, will offer
much new testimony. There will be
a score of eve witnesses to the shoot
ing of White who have not before
testified, but will testify that in
their opinion, Thaw was crazed on
the night of the murder.
There are signs that the second
trial will attract much less atten-
tion than the first did. Applications
from out-of-town newspaper repre-
sentatives and press bureaus for
seating accommodations are notice.
ably fewer.
The telegraphic arrangements for
the transmission of the reports of
the trial viii be greatly curtailed.
Last year both of the large tele-
graph companies erected temporary
stations in the rotunda of the court
buildings and strung their cables
through the skylight. According to
present plans nothing on this elab-
crate scale will be provided, but a
number of leased wires will be
strung into the building.
Unless new witnesses open a new
| line of inquiry the testimony. 1t q
expected, will be largely a repeti-
/ tion of the testimony in the first
trial.
