Engineer Turns Steam Screecher Into

RICHMOND. Va, March 5.-Win-

popular airs on the whistles of loco
motive is strikingly unusual, yet in
this manner Robert Freeman Filing

Richmond to Danville-his run-as

idea of making his engine keep him
company many years ago. 1t was
lonesome on the long stretches. he said,
and just to keep himself buoyed up
he began to practice, becoming adept
at it later.
When he was counting his wife he
invariably played to her when he went
through Manchester She was always
on the lookout for his fantastic mel
ody. For years no one knew who the
tuneful engineer was. AS a matter OF
fact it was only learned today and by
chance then. Ellington makes no Sc

ance that he didn't say anything about
it sooner Several people who live

the sentiment that attached, nothing
more was heard.

ALLOWANCE FOR

APPROPRIATION BILL CARRIES
$9,658,295
OVER MILLION AND HALF IN
CREASE PROPOSED
Signal for Sine Die Adjournment Is
Given with Presentation Of Meas
ure to Raise Department
Funds
Especial to The Herald

SACRAMENTO March 5.-The adj
journment sine die of the thirty eighth
California Legislature was signaled late
this afternoon when Chairman X. L.
Beardslee of the ways and means COM
mittee submitted to the lower house
the general appropriation bill for the
next two fiscal years.
The measure appropriates S965S,295,
an increase of S1,524,6 06 over the allow
ance for state expenses which the legis-
lature of 1907 voted.
Chairman Beardslee said tonight:
while this is a large increase over
the appropriations made by the last
legislature it is in keeping with the IN
crease in the number of inmates OF the
various state institutions, and with the
spirit of progress evinced by the state.
Have Cut Appropriations
"In many instances I'VE have cut down
appropriations requested of my COM
mittee, but we have tried to be fair
where subjects of general interest TO
the state were concerned.
LAS a result the state hospitals and
state prisons are the largest bene-
ficiaries. Most of the increase In the
salaries of state officials have been
granted as per request, although we
have pared down some at the sugges-
ton of the governor.
1.-THE increase of 1880. 900 covers the
salary increases which we deemed to
be necessary, and the increased de-
mands, justifiable, of the various state
eelemosenary institutions"
Practically every department of the
state government receives under the
provisions of the general appropria-
ton bill an increase in its biennial al
lowanCe.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 5.-More Of those stories that have stained the memory of Stanford White, stories that paralleled the tale of the Madi- son Square tower room as told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, were related at the Thaw sanity hearing before Jus tice Mills today. They were told first by witnesses called in Thaw's behalf and then by Thaw himself, who testi- fled. hoping to show that the things he knew about White were not de lusions" and that this phase of the states attack on his sanity is un- founded Thaw may be called again tomorrow. The attorneys will sum up on Saturday and Justice Mills hopes to render a decision next week.
 David Carvalho the New York hand writing expert, testifyinS for Thaw. told of episodes connecting Stanford White with two young wd- men whom it is alleged he tried to ruin. One was Miss Mackenzie, an actress, and the others name was given as Sue Parker"
 Thaw on the stand gave the loca- tion of four places he said White maintained for immoral purposes. The stand was pathetic. Her feelings overcame her. but despite her tears she insisted on having it over."

 STAND Lieutenant Utley Not Positive as to the Suicide Theory

Annapolis. Aug. 5.-For five hours today Lieutenant Harold Utley of the marine corps was subjected to an eX- acting examination and cross cxamin- ation in regard to his connection with the death of Lieutenant Sutton. In- quiry into the matter was resumed to- day after an adjournment the early part Of last week pending the arrival of Lieutenant Utley and Surgeon Fink.
 The new alignment in the proceed ings whereby five of Sutton's brother officers who have already testified. and Lieutenant Utley appeared in court as a defendant, accused by Mrs. Sutton, the dead boys mother, and her daughter, Mrs. Parker, of causing Lieutenant Sutton's death, had no ef- feet in curbing the testimony of Lieu tenant Uuey.
 He answered al quc~.f0~- -J 2 hing Ills story corroborated the tes- timOhyFsof the other officers present at the fight between Lieutenant Adams and Sutton when Sutton was shot
 Utley said he was under the i'm pression at the time of the shooting that Sutton directed the shot against positive about the suicide theory as the preceding witnesses. Under cross examination he admitted that he was reaching for Sutton's hand to dis arm him when the latter freed his arm from beneath his chest and the revolver flashed.
