THAW IS
NOW INSANE

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 12.-Jus-
tice Mills this morning dismissed the
Thaw writ of habeas corpus and re-
manded him to the custody of the
state authorities at Matteawan The
Not one of the many contentious
made by Thaw was sustained In the
formal opinion declaring Thaw now
insane, Judge Mills lays great stress
on the family childhood history. His
determination that the prisoner has
rot recovered is based principally up
on the evidence of DIR. Amos Baker.
assistant superintendent at Mattea-
wan. "All the authorities" he says,
''are public officers with no conceiva-
BILE motive but TO do their duty"
The court says he is more convinc-
ed by the alienists for the state than
for the prisoner and says, concerning
DIR. Evans. Il had great difficulty In
reconciling his present attitude with
his former opinion expressed at the
trial and my opinion was not affect
ed"
Thaw evidently made a bad impress
sion on the Judge by his actions on
and off the witness stand as the opin-
ion calls special attention to Thaw' S
facial expression while telling of his
belief in Whites practices.
The court says he is by no means
satisfied with Thaw's treatment at
Matteawan after his return there las
October and says no one could but be
moved by the distress of the mother
as she told of that treatment.
1T must be understood that Thaw is
not in the institution as a criminal
undergoing punishment. as the jury
declared him innocent in the matter
of the homicide, but as an unfortunate

who are familiar with these wonder

BACK TO
THE SOIL

Spokane, Aug. 12.-That the man
who owns his farm is only an agent
under AN obligation TO conserve the
soil is the doctrine promulgated by
l.. Fl. Bailey, of the New York college
of agriculture, this Gnorning before
the Irrigation Congress. He stated
that there should be a National drrd-
cation government, but that 1T was
not necessary to develop all our re-
sources at once. 1t Is just as well,
he said, to have the resources to take
up when the press of population
comes.
He was followed by DIR. A. A. True,
national director of experiment sta
tions.
Secretary Ballinger, who spoke last
night on the attitude of the admins
tration toward the reclamation OF ar
i'd land in the West, said in part:

Jack Mcfadden
Wants a Go
At Reilly

Jack McF'adden stopped his hand
ball game this morning for a few
minutes conversation with the sport
ing editor of the Blu lletin. Jack
and Sullivan are very keen on maxi
ing a match with either Reilly or
Smith.
McFadden stated that he would
prefer to take on Reilly: For any
money he likes. and the purse split
to suit himself" was Macs remark.
It is doubtful II a match can be
made now, as, Reilly is leaving for
the Coast soon. A match between
these two would be thing of beau
ty and joy forever, and 1t is a pity
that nothing seems likely to be done
In the matter.
Reilly may, of course, change his
mind about returning to the main.
land, and In that case would surely
accommodate McFadden with a
friendly go. But at present It is al

many bushels are expected from the
large grove next season. In the past
the trees have not been given the
attention needed for proper bearing
and profitable production.
Samples of fine Japanese perSim-
mons, which find a ready sale in the
local market, have also been brought
to the city. They were produced on
the Duncan place. Two specimens
have been grated and the result OF
such is the finest peTsimmOn. The
work viii be kept up in the future.
Pecans also are produced there with
profit, and many dealers ia the city
have been supplied with all they
could use in a season from the place.
Taking the Duncan place as a sam
pie, other owners of property are
determined to go into the fruit rails
ing business and one gentleman from
there yesterday who owns about five
acres on the point gave it out that
he had already planted about two
hundred trees, the most of them being
pecan slips, He believes that pc
cans and oranges may be produced
there in sufficient quantity TO sup
ply in a great measure the local
market, and is going to make a try
for it the coming season. On the
point, he maintains, the frOsts are
so rare as to render orange growing
absolutely profitable.

COUNCIL WILL
PASS UPON THE
RY. MEASURE
REGULAR MEETING OF BODY
WILL BE HELD THIS EVENING
AND IT is UNDERSTOOD THAT
RAILROAD ORDINANCE WILL
BE PASSED.

It is understood that at the regS-
la meeting Of the city council, whira
aiH take place tonight at O'Clock
the ordinance granting certain rights
70 the Pensac cola and Andaiusia raj!
road projectors will be read the thir,
and last time and voted upon. Tn,
measure has been in the committee
room for some weeks, and some
changes, with which the genera.
reading public are thoroughly IA
miliar, have been made to IL. These
amendments are understood to have
been favorable to the projectors and
the ordinance in its present form Il
passed by the council tonight viii
be acceptable to the railroad builders
This being the case, the assurances
ably good. The chairman of the fran
chise and privilege committee VIII
report the measure to the council
and then it will go on third read
ing.
The council is TO handle the Ordi-
nance regulating the storage of SasO-
line in the city limits at tonight 5
meeting. This was the question which
was considered at a special meeting
held last week, and If proper re-
port comes from the general ordi-
nance committee on this measure to-
night. the ordinance and engrossing
committee will likely pass upon the
measure and it will go to third read
ing and final passage 1t is import
ant that this question be disposed OF
as early as possible, for under the
existing ordinance covering the stOr-
age of gasoline in the city, the whole
sale dealers, by the manner Of stOr-
ing gasoline now, are violating the
law each day. The marshal has
brought this phase of the question %
the attention of the council, hence

from present requirements.
