NEW YORK, Jan. "a. The actions
and mental and physical condition OF
Harry K. Thaw at various times when
he was in Europe will be detailed by
physicians who have been brought
across the Atlantic for the purpose
in the trial OF Thaw for the killing
OF Stanford White. II was hoped
that the Adriatie, on which these wit
ncsses are to come from Europe.
would reach port yesterday, but be-
fore court adjourned yesterday Il was
reported that she would not reach her
dock until 10 o'clock this morning.
These witnesses are expected TO add
to the mass OF testimony which the
defense has introduced in its attempt
to prove that Thaw was for years ir-
rational. and by which they hope to
show that when Thaw fred the shots
which caused the death OF Stanford
White, that he was mentally unsound
and therefore not guilty OF murder
under the statute which excuses the
acts Of those who, because Of their
mental condition do not appreciate
the nature or quality of the act, or
that the act Is wrong.
Two alienists have already given
their direct testimony for the defense,
and under the ruling Of the court,
based on an agreement between the
attorneys, only one more can be
called. The hypothetical question
based on all cf the evidence of the
trial. will be put TO these witnesses
and then the prosecution will have an
opportunity for cross-examination.
How long tbs will take Is not known.
Last year one Of the defensc's alien
lists, DIR, Britton d. Evans, was on
the stand for two days and underwent
a grilling cross-examination at the
hands OF the district attorney
So far no experts for the prosecu-
ton have appeared in the courtroom,
and Mr.. Jerome has not indicated
whether or not he will call any All
of the alicnists who testified for the
prosecution at the last trial have been
subpoenaed as regular witnesses for
the defense, and may be called upon
to repeat their statements made last
year before the lunacy commission
In case the prosecution seeks to com
bat the insanity defense now put for
ward on behalf OF Thaw. Last year
all of these experts testified that they
believed Thaw to be suffering from
paranoia, but while they were con-
vinced that he was medically insane
they did not believe that his mental
arrangement was such as to come
under the definition Of legal insanity
laid down in the statute.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-New York
tonight is digging itself out of foot
Of snow which is so unevenly divided
that while the exposed and unfre-
quented spots have been blown bare,
the thoroughfares Of the millions are
left piled high with drifts that imped-
ed the progress of man and beast and
tied up the street cars and vehicles.
Mercifully the snow was accompan-
led by moderate temperature and
in its early stages was welcomed BY
the honest part Of the 5000 unem-
ployed in the city All who sought
employment found it readily and at
good wages. The street cleaning de-
partment employed ten thousand
extra men, the traction companies as
many more and house holders paid
out many dollars to have walks kept
clear Tonight the charity societies
have their hands full. The Bowery
bread lines were extended many
blocks further than at any time this
winter and at an early hour said the
supply Of food was not nearly enough
to meet the demand. The Salvation
Army and other societies are work
ing heroically to minimize the effect
of a sudden shift from spring-like to
freezing weather.
During the day the thermometers
registered 26 to 23.
ASBURG PARK, Jan. "a. Much
damage has been done on the Jersey
coast from Long Beach north
to the Highlands by the storm today.
The seas broke over the bulkheads
which protect the narrow strip of
land between the ocean and the
Shrewsbury river flooding the streets
Of Seabright so that they resembled
a miniature Venice. Great damage
was done to the cottages, pavilion
piers and roadways. The Mayor of
Seabright directed the occupants Of
many homes to leave and retire across
the river. They were removed IN
boats. A number Of accidents and
four fatalities are attributed to the
storms account. Shipping along the
coast suffered severely though no SER
ious accidents are thus far reported.

DEBORAH BOYS CAUSE SENSATION.
will Knowlton Expelled From State Uni.
versity for Illegal Athletic Work. Tom
Willett May Be in Same Fix
at Ames.

The biggest sensation of the college
year in athletic circles is the an
nouncement that Will Knowlton of
this city has been expelled from the
state university at Iowa City, on ac-
count of playing on the football and
baseball teams when he was not eligi-
bic by reason of having out played his
time" in college athletics before
this year.
1t is the elimination of the athletic
controversy which has been carried on
for several weeks between the state
university at Iowa City and the state
agricultural college at Ames. Some
time ago it is claimed that the dis
covery was made by the state univer-
sity that Tom Willett of this city had
exceeded the three-year limit imposed
by the intercollegiate athletic rules
by playing in the Iowa college Grin
NELL athletic contests two years and
then two years additional, before the
present schoo! year, with Ames. Will
lett claSsrrSy he supposed his first
year, 90. d. -o,.cs at Grinnell had
beef played while he was listed as
prep, but the college records
showed him listed as freshman both
years. This brought up the contro-
versy, together with other matters,
and the state university then refused
to have any future contests with the
agricultural college.
This paper commented upon the
matter, and also the DEBORAH Republi-
can, the latter suggesting the question
of Knowlton's eligibility on the same
grounds. and the attention of the
Ames' management being called to
the fact, an investigation was made.
1t was found that Knowlton had
formerly played with the state uni
versity and last spring, while attend
ing the Upper Iowa University at
Fayette, played ball there. This
would, under the conference rules,
necessitate his playing as a freshman
upon his return to Iowa City, but he
signed up the regular profession of
eligibility and played star game on
the gridiron last fall. The discovery
being made. the authorities have ex-
PEELED him from the university.
The outcome of the matter is seri-
ously regretted by the friends at home
of both Knowlton and Willett. Both
are star athletes and it is too bad that
the college record of either should be
impaired in this manner.

When D. A. Mcmillan went to look
for his overcoat after the skating rink
closed last Wednesday night, he dis
covered that his overcoat had been
taken by some one. Suspecting AL
fred Anderson he pulled him out of
bed about two O'Clock the next morn
ing and landed him in Jail. The next
morning, however, he was allowed to
go after paying the costs, as Mcmillan
said he did not care to appear against
him.
