To the Editor OF The american:
For the past few weeks no topic has been
so much talked Of a. the now famous
school census affair. for doubt If in the
history of this city If ever before the city
officials were openly charged with fraud
think it safe to say that all the eonserva-
tive people in the town think il very
imprudent thing to do at any time. and
especially al time when il shows on the
face of 1t that il was done to get back at
them because they saw fit to turn down
the superintendent IF schools. and after
he Mr.. Scott) had given the warning that
il he was removed he would make them
stsQuirmr.
The history OF the case is this: Early
in the spring of 1908, after the people had
expressed at the polls that they were not
willing for the reins of government to pass
into the hands of men in whom they had
no confidence, instead of taking defeat
as men usually do, the campaign to ham
per the city in every posi- lie way began,
and have recently been informed that a
letter was directed to Mr.. Scott to the ef-
rect that IL he passed in a school census

The Senate finance committee is sit

Lawrence, Kas., July 31.-With the
opening Of the fall term Of school the

Aslss0URI APPEALS FROM IUpOg
MOpHENecN's DECISION
There Are 70 Similar Suits But Only
the One Against the Rurlln0tcp
VIII De Acted Upon New.

Kansas City, July 29.--The state
will appeal to the United States su-
pr6fne court from the ruling Of the
federal court on the two-cent passen-
ger and maximum freight rate Ques-
ton In only one Of the is cases, that
Of the Chicago, Burlington Z Quincy
railroad, which is regarded as the best
example for the state and the worst
for the railroads Judge Mcpherson
has granted the appeal. but d.
rected that the records should not
be sent to Washington for two weeks
until the railroads attorneys could
prepare cross appeal.
Replying to question by Judge Nc
Pherson, Sanford B. Ladd. one Of the
attorneys for the state, said:
The state could not afford to APP
peal all Of the cases. The transcript
in this one case cost $4,000. We gave
the clerk of the circuit court check
for that amount this morning. This is
only part OF the expense Of the appeal.
When the supreme court rules on this
case we shall know what to do In the
other cases. We hope to have ruling
on this case in about one year"
Judge Mcpherson decided several
months ago that the two-cent passen.
ger rate and the maximum freight
rates enacted by, the Missouri legis-
lature were confiscatory and granted
a permanent Injunction against inforc-
Ing the laws. Judge Mcpherson said
In his opinion that two and one.half |
cents would be a reasonable passen-
ger rate. but gave the roads permits
zion to return to the three-cent rate.
rhe Burlington road was the FIRST to
establish the 2h-cent rate. Some of
he roads are charging two and others
hree cents.

lao Admits That Ne May Have Been
Legally Insane For . Few Min

White Plains, N. y, July 29.-HarFy
X. Thav's fate lay in his own hands
For six hours he occupied the witness
stand. while District Attorney Jerome
the man who twice tried to send him
to prison, and who once already has
thwarted an effort to release him from
criminal insane asylum, deived In
to his life history. Thaw emerged
creditably from the ordeal. Whatever
Jerome and his alienists may make
Of the examination, to the eye and
ear Of the layman Stanford Whites
slayer showed no signs Of insanity on
the stand.
But Thaw's ordeal Is not over He
will remain on the witness stand one
and perhaps two days longer. The
states alienists believe that II he is
insane he will be more likely to be-
tray himself toward the end when
wearied by Jerome's continued ham
mering.
Jerome strove to establish Thaw's
insanity, mainly on Thaw's alleged
Authorizations regarding Stanford
Whites treatment Of young girls. Time
and again he asked the witness own
opinion Of his mental state. Thaw's
replies in substance were II have al
ways been sane, medically. When
killed White, | may have been legally
insane for few minutes. | am sane
now"
Thaw explained the evidence of his
alienists at the trial by saying that in
declaring him insane they had been
misled. They were told, he said, that
the charges he made against White
were untrue and they inferred that the
charges must be decisions.
Thaw's mood was not always jovial.
Questions that made the witness
knit his brows had to do with his rela-
tons with Evelyn Nesbit before their
marriage.
Although 1t has been alleged that
Thaw has broken with his wife and
that she is aiding the opposition, he
showed strong desire to shield her
name. The young woman herself ar
rived in court during this part Of the
examination and rewarded her hus-
bands evident consideration Of her
feelings with several radiant smiles.
At the same time Thaw showed strong
reluctancy to letting his wife take the
stand and had his attorney invoke the
privilege Of confidential relations to
bar her. .e,a-.'.--A r@
Susan Merrill, who was the chief
witness at Tuesdays session was In /
court, but did not take the stand. I
rhaw swore that her most damaging q
charges against him were untrue. She |
probably will take the stand again I
later. The state also expects to put I
on Its three allenists to tell their i'm 4
pressions regarding Thaw's mental i
condition after hearing him testify.
