Paper Carried 100 Miles.

A remarkable example of the carry. Ing power of the wind under cyclonic conditions was evidenced when mum. Der of papers dated at Gillian, Id, were. picked up on the streets of Wal. do. Gillian was visited by tornado which virtually wiped the town .off the map, wrecling all the buildings of any consequence. and on the evening of the tornado a shower of leaves, small twigs and rubbish fell at Waldo. The following morning amidst the rubbish, the papers from Gillian were found, and there is no doubt that the storm which wrecked the little village in Louisiana passed over that place, though SO high as to do no damage.
 The papers consisted of a check dat cd at Gillian, and which had been paid. an invoice of goods that had been received by Gillian merchant, re- turn register card ard various other papers.
 Gillian is located more than 100 mileS southwest of Waldo. showing the distance that the materials had been icarried by the tornado.

LETTER SCORES PRESIDENT.
Mlssive Causes Lively Debate at the
 Socialist Convention.

Chicago, Ill.-An open letter al. dressed to President Roosevelt se- verely scoring the president for his all legged disparaging remarks about So eialists in his last message to con. gress caused lively debate Wednes- day at the Socialist national conven- tion. The letter was submitted by c. A. Hoehn of St. Louis, Mo-, who asked that it be adopted by the convention and that copy of it be mailed to President Roosevelt.
 The trouble was precipitated by Chairman John Spargo of the commit tee onr esolutions, who, in making his report on the resolutions presented to the committee, tried to omit the read ing of the letter assailing tie presi- dent, with the explanation that the committee had instructed him not to go to the trouble of reading tbe docu- -ment owing to the ''preposterous statements" contained in it. Several delegates immediately objectel to this procedure. protesting against the right cA thC Nhuii Oi lut TeSOluLlOnS committee to decide for them the char aeter of any document they had never heard read. After 8 spirited discus sion motion that tbe letter be read was carried amid great enthusiasm. A long debate followed the reading of the letter.
 The Socialist national convention will nominate Eugene V. Debs of Girard, Kas.. for president. Debs' friends placed the issue squarely up to the leading delegates and informed them that if any attempt was made to sidetrack Debs because of his absence from the convention they would take the floor and explain why the Eastern delegates wanted the nomination sent to Massachusetts, New York or Ohio

TnAws EARLY HISTORY DETAILED
Prisoner Told pr. Baker at MatteaWan He Was Rational When He
 Fired the Shot.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-Dr. Amos T. Baker, Harry K. Thaw's guar dian at Matteawan, armed with a diary detailing the daily actions of the prisoner, was called at the opening of the morning session of Thaw's habeas corpus hearing Friday. If there Is anything that will prevent Thaw from leaving the mad house it is the testi- mony of Dr. Baker.
 "I made several examinations of Mir Thaw, and kept notes of what I ob- served" began Dr. Baker. He de- tailed to me the hereditary traces of insanity in his family and said that he had suffered from what was called St. Vitus dance."
 The physician repeated Thaw's ear ly history, which included his school days.
 ..What did he say about an attack of dementia in Monte Carlo?' the phy- sician was asked.
 He said all his physicians had tes- tifled he was crazy, but he really was not" was the reply.
 About the Devonshire Nursing Home in London?" He said his ex- perts at the trial had called his illness maniac depressive insanity, but it was only typhoid fever"
 What about 20 tons of ice being placed in the room?" He said that, while 1t was not the custom in Eng land at the time to cool rooms with ice, the method had since been adopt ed. In answer to my queries about his use of tobacco, he told me he smoked about ten cigarettes and three cigars each day from the age of 1S He declared that he used alcohol in moderation"
 About this trial and the verdict of the jury, he said he knew he never was insane and his lawyers were of the same opinion, but the plea of in sanity was the only way to save him from conviction of murder in the first degree.
