NEW YORK.

Trade during the first half of Janu,
airy shows expected progress. New I'M
~dertakings are encouraged by the more
settled policy regarding large financial
and industrial affairs and ample funds
are available. Leading industries grad
ually increase the working forces and
output, and while in most lines both
continue below normal, the gains estab-
lished In the declining months of last
year are fully maintained.
Disappointment is manifest in the
iron and steel markets, demand lacking
snap and requirements coming out in a
hesitating way. Better buying was ex-
pected, owing to cheap money and the
fact hat the entire country is prac-
tically bare of finished goods. Little
inquiry is received from the railroads.
Some weakness is noted in pig iron.
Good inquiries are received from pipe
mills, and one large block is under ne
gotiation. Business in rails continues
quiet. Wire products show the nearest
approach to normal activity.-Dun's

House by Vote Stops a Bitter

The House by a vote Of 1913 to 70
took Representative William Willett,
Jr., Of New York off his feet the other
day on a point Of order that he was
villifying the President of the United
States. Willett was attacking Roose-
welt t~iercely. The House refused to
allow him to proceed.
His theme was The Passing of
Roosevelt" though he at no time men,
toned the President by name. Among
his more picturesque designations for
the Chief Magistrate were: Gar
goyle," "~tyrant,' "pigmy,' descendant
of Dutch trades people," "~hay-tedder,"
Foundation Of ~Billingsgate." ''imita-
ton of n king and bogus hero" The
effort was Mr.. Willett's second broad
side aimed at the President.
Mr.. Willett was ruled out Of order
and forced to take his seat upon a
point of order made by Representative
Gardner Of Massachusetts, when he de-
clared tina the President had DETAINED
the character of Admiral Schley In

T. J. HAMS HELD NOT GUILTY
Acquitted of Murder in Annis Case
Jury Out twenty-five Hours.

Wv =
At Flushing, N. Y, Thornton Jen.
kins Haines, the writer, was declared
not guilty as a principal with his broth
err, Capt. Peter G. Hams, Jr., in the
killing Of William E. Annis. The jury
was out twenty-five hours and took
fifteen ballots. Judging from the gen.
eral opinion at the district attorneys
office, Capt. Haines will never be
brought to trial.
This is the second time T.. jenkins
Hams has been acquitted Of the charge
Of murder. Seventeen years ago he
shot Edward W.. Hannigan in an open
BOAT in Hampton Roads and a jury de-
cided he was not guilty. Jurors stated
that the first ballot stood 8 to 4 for
acquittal.
Officials Of the district attorneys Of
fee in Queens County are quoted as
saying that Capt. Hams probably will
be surrendered into the care OF his
family or the federal government.
Under the verdict it is perfectly
safe for any person who is ingenious
enough to frame up a defense to go out
and kill. Private vengeance seems to
have taken precedence owe the peo-
pies law was the only comment that
Prosecutor Darrin had to make on the
jury's return.

THAW SANITY ISSUE UP.
Trial Granted, but Jury Is Refused
and Case Goes to New York.

Harry X. Thaw will be given a trial
as to his sanity, but the manner in
which he is to have 1t has aroused the
Indignation Of his mother and counsel,
as well as of the man himself.
An order for a trial was issued Sat
urday by Justice A. II. Tomkins at
Nyack, but he judge did not grant a
hearing before a jury, as asked In the
petition. Instead he decided that the
case be heard before a court or Judge
in New York City, with or without the
assistance Of a referee, as the trial
Judge may decide. 1t was hoped by
Thaw's friends that the inquiry would
be held in Duchess County, where the
Matteawan State Asylum, in which
Thaw is now confined, is situated.
Mrs. Thaw, after she had heard OF
he decision. gave out the following
signed statement: II am told that no
patient, either through his counsel or
his family, is able to remove such a
case as my sons from the district IN
which the hospital is situated and it Is
an outrage that Mr.. Jerome, who has
shown such baSeless vindictiveness, no
only against my son, but against others
connected with the case, should be al
lowed to violate this rule, especially
when it Is plain hat Mr.. Jerome's pre-
tense that my son has paranoia is made
IN bad faith, or his colleague. Mr.. Gard
ner, in his address to the court last
Saturday would not have entirely ig-
nored this claim, and instead have
feebly argued that he had maniacal de-
pressive insanity, which every alienist
ever connected with the case considers
preposterous. 1 I'm told, and it seems
to me probable, that the threat Mr..
Jerome made after the first jury disa-
greed, that he would delay any second
trial in the hope that my son might 60

Twenty-Five thousand persons went
out Oh strike Friday and seventy-fve
hat factories in New England and he
North Atlantic States have been tied up
as Il result Of a decision Of the Asso-
ciated Hat Manufacturers to dlscon-
tinue the use of the union label. Sam
uel Mundheim, president Of the asso-
citation, said that the order followed
the refusal Of union employees Of The
Guyer Hat Company in Philadelphia to
keep a working agreement. Under this
agreement, he said. the men were to
continue work until a settlement OF
pending questions was reached, but the
men quit work in that factory three
weeks ago and have since refused to
return.
Martin Lawlor, secretary Of the
United Hattcrs of North America, said {;
The cause of the trouble was the re-
fusal Of the Guyer company to live up
to their contract with us, not any re-
fusal Of ours to live up to our contract
with them. The statement that the
men in the Philadelphia factory quit
work is m~isleading.'
The chief factories affected are In

Newark and Orange, n. j., and in DAN

KILLED IN BIG COLLISION.
Passenger Train in Colorado Crashes
Into Double Head Freight.

Twenty-one persons were killed and
thirty injured, many Of them seriously,
in a head-on collision between west
bound passenger train No. 5 and an
east bound freight train on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad, between Dot
sero and Spruce Creek, twenty-five
miles from Glenwood Springs. Colo.
While nothing official has been given
out as to the cause Of the wreck, it is
said to have been due to a misunder-
standing of riders on the part of En-
gineer Gustaf Olson of the passenger
train. Olson, however, claims he IN
derstood his instructions perfectly, but
that he misread his watch. thus en-
croaching on the time of the freight
train, which was being drawn by two
engines, the first of which was in
charge Of his brother. Sig Olson. The
two trains met on a steep grade.

Over half q hundred unfortunate

q score were injured Wednesday morn
ing in a fire which destroyed the inter

and a half off list street, Chicago, used
by George w. Jackson, the contractor,
in the construction of a new water
tunnel. Estimates Of the fatalities
ranged from fifty to sixty. Sew
enty men, who lived at the crib and
worked in shifts, were on the structure
when the fire broke out. Many OF these
were burned to death before they could
reach the doors. Others, their clothes

The fire originated in the powder
magazine on the first landing, Many
of the employees were asleep in hunks,
and others were just going to work,
when a sheet of fame shot through tho
building. The alarm spread rapidly.
ChicagoanS who heard Of the impend-
ing disaster were appalled, when they
learned that over seventy workmen
at the crib We're completely isolated
from the shore. Smoke could be faint
ly seen putting up 5000 feet away,
where a light mist lay over the water.
Occasionally a tongue of red flame
flared W. An alarm was sent at once
to South Chicago, where the fire tug
Conway was stationed.
Confined in a fiery prison. with all
means Of communication with the shore
cut off and the icy waters Of Lake
Michigan all about them, tine workmen
made a desperate fight for their lives,
which was witnessed by crowds on the
shore. AS soon as the alarm was given
prompt measures of relief were taken,
but the quick spread of the flames in
the wooden structure and the distance
to be covered made these efforts all but
useless.
The crowds on the shore watching
the distant blaze with it's plume OF
black smoke, the squad of men on the
adjoining crib and those working from
the fire tug Conway, which had been
hurrid through the ice foes from its
station in South Chicago to the scene
of the conflagration, were greatly
alarmed when it was learned that three
tons of dynamite We're stored In the
substructure of the burning crib. The
flames spread rapidly, and it was but a
few moments when the crib was a
mass Of flames. Hundreds Of persons
gathered on the shore to watch the
fire, but were powerless to render aid.
Ambulances were on hand. but the i'm
prisoned men could not be reached.

Confession He Is Robber.
Police began efforts the other day In
Chicago to solve the mystery in the dual
life of DR.. Paul Trotter, a physician with
a meager practice by day and robber by
night. The doctor, occupying a cell at the
Desplaines street police station, confessed
he was a highwayman, but refused to go
into details about himself. He said he
came to Chicago with his wife to practice
medicine. Patients were few. Because OF
lack of funds, he declared he was driven
to become a highwayman. Trotter was
arrested in a raid at ~ Lain street.
Others who operated in a robber band
with him, the police say, are Harry Bar
ger, wounded in a battle with a switch
man, and Harry ]. Carney, arrested near
Alliance, Ohio. The men confessed seven
robberies.
