HARRY THAW'S SANITY
Matter Again Before New York
Court for Settlement.
TAKING OF EVIDENCE BEGUN

Presiding Justice Unwilling to Decide
Constitutional Question Raised by
Thaw's Attorneys Until Testimony
is introduced.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 15.-The
hearing on the writ of habeaG corpus
In behalf of Harry X. Thaw to secure
his release from the Matteawan asy-
lum, began before Justice Morschauer
here.
Thaw was brought into court and
took a seat between his attorneys, A.
Russell Peabody and James G.. Gra-
ham. There were twenty women
among the 400 spectators. When the
Judge had ascended the bench Mr..
Graham made formal motion for the
discharge of Thaw on the ground that
no testimony as to his sanity or to
show that 1t would endanger public
safety to have him at large was taken
at the time of his commitment; that
his commitment did not comply with
the statutory requirement and that
Thaw had no opportunity to be heard
nor to offer evidence as to his sanity.
Mr. Graham argued that Thaws con-
fmement is unconstitutional. This
man was entitled to a presumption of
sanity at the time this commitment
was made" said Mr.. Graham.
Justice Morschauer said that he
was unwilling to decide the constitu-
tional question apart from the sanity
question unless the relator would
agree to waive the question of san
fly.
1t was arranged to proceed with the
trial of both the constitutional and in.
sanity questions, the Judge reserving
his decision on the former.
DIR. Frank Mcclure, physician at the
Tombs prison, was the first witness.
He said that he saw Thaw nearly
every day while he was in the Tombs
and that he seemed perfectly recep.
tive and perfectly responsible In my
opinion he was rational" said DR.. Nc
Guire, "and that was my opinion when
he left the Tombs."

pacity. 1t needs the cooperation OF
all the influences, the help of every
voice, the commendation of nation and
state that has been the strength and
inspiration of every worthy work on
American soil for 120 years"
Mr.. Hill talked for nearly an hour
and at the conclusion of his address
was warmly congratulated by the
members of the cabinet, William J.
Bryan and others, who shook hands
with him.

LOUISIANA TORNADO.
Seven Persons Killed and Many 9th.
ers injured.

Shreveport, La, May 15.--Seven
people are known to be dead and many
others are injured as the result of a
tornado which swept across North
west Louisiana. The little town OF
Gillian, twenty-five miles north of
Shreveport, was destroyed and the
town Of Bolinger, on the east side of
the river In Bossier parish, was badly
wrecked.
Communication with the greater
portion of the storm-swept section is
interrupted and it is believed that
later reports will increase the number
of dead and injured.
1t Is said the work of destruction
at Gillian was complete, only two
houses remaining intact. The town
had population of about 200.

A Radical Ruling - Subscribers
Must Pau lJD.

The Postoffice Department at Wash
ington seems to have a particular spite
at newspapers, as well as at those who
are not able to or do not pay in advance
for their paper. The ruling (Which is
now in effect) is, that if subscriber to
weekly paper becomes more than one
year in arrears the publisher is required
TO place one cent stamp on each and
every paper he sends TO such subscriber.
Daily papers cannot, according TO the
ruling. send out papers If the subscriber
is over three months in arrears, unless
postage is paid at the rate of one cent
for each four ounces. On account of this
ruling many weekly and small daily
papers will likely be forced TO suspend
and the big dailies and trust publica-
tlons, that TRUST no one, will reap the
harvest.
We have numbers Of subscribers on
our list who are more than year in ar
rears, but we are not afraid TO trust them
and believe they will pay US when we
have a chance to see them, but we can
not afford to place a one cent stamp on
each paper every week las they probably
would not want to pay this extra post

Do You Want to Pau SIC Extra?

Under recent ruling of the
Post Office Department, which
went into effect January first, it
will cost fifty-two cents a year to
mail this paper to subscribers who
have not renewed their subscriptions
within one year. Hereafter it will
be necessary to add this amount to
the regular subscription price when
paper renewals are delayed beyond
one year. This would nearly
double the subscription price of the
paper for the delinquent subscrip.

on your subscription, it will be
necessary to have remittance at
