THAW'S DAY IN COURT.
Commission of Three AIioaist:
to Pass on His Sanity.

Justice Mills Favored Appointment Of
a Commission but Thought the Stat.
Should Name Two Of the Three Ex
perts-AlI Of the Testimony So Far
Is In Favor Of Thaw's Sanity-Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw to Appear For Her
Husband.
White Plains, July 13.-If counsel
can agree, commission of three alien
lists, mutually selected, will pass OIL
the question of Harry X Thaw's san
ity. This was practically decided al
continuation Of the hearing before
Justice Mills, In which counsel for
Stanford Whites slayer is trying to es
tablish his right to release from the
asylum for the criminal insane at Mat
teawan.
With all of the testimony in favor Of
Thaw and with the indication that his
Wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, will take
the stand in his behalf; with District
Attorney William Travers Jerome
eliminated, Thaw's chances for release
appear brighter than at any time since
his commitment
After a string OF witnesses testify.
ing to Thaw's soundness of mind had
told their story, Roger Clarke, deputy
attorney general, who is conducting
the peoples case, informed the court
that he had been so much impressed
by Thaw's intelligent interest in the
case at stake, that he conceded Thaw's
right to a full and impartial examina
tion. He suggested that counsel fol
Thaw and counsel for the people agree
to a commission of three expert alien
lists whose decision should be accept
ed by both parties to the suit without
reservations or equlvocation. Charles
Morschauser, for Thaw, was agreeable
and asked that DR.. Baker, superintend
ent of the state asylum, and DR.. Aus

three.
Justice Mills favored the suggestion
for commission but was Of the opin
ion that the state ought to name two
OF the three experts. With that ex'
ception, he left the personnel of the
commission to be determined by the
counsel for both sides.
Mr.. Morschauser pressed for anoth
er advantage for his client by asking
the court, in event Of selection of a
commission that any one who had testi
fed in previous proceedings be barred
from the examination now in progress.
Justice Mills left this point also to be
decided by counsel.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, who has been
living quietly in retirement of late,
may take the stand. She has abandon
ed vacation plans, it IS announced, In
order to appear for her husband. The
testimony heard from iailers, real es.
tate dealers. clergymen, dentist and
a reporter-all called by Thaw-was
uniformly in his favor.
Witnesses related conversations
with him on music, dogs, cigars, liter
ature, electricity, geology, prison life,
sport religion and the personality OF
the late pope, Leo XIII. A watchman
had learned from Thaw that the stone
age was to be placed some 500 years
back. An innkeeper thought Thaw
perfectly sane. except that on one oc.
casion he had refused the witness in
vitation to take a drink with him. He
admitted under cross-examnation that
he had known several persons to de-
cline a drink

TARIFF IN CONFERENCE
Interest In Final Development Of the
Revenue Bill.

If the interest of the ultimate con-
sumer" has Jagged during the detailed
discussion of the tariff bill in the SEN
ate there should be revival of con-
cern in the subject this week, for the
measure now in the hands of the SEN
ate and house conferees has reached
the crucial stage, where the influence
of the president in the final shaping
may be watched with lively anticipa-
tion. 1t is no secret that the bill as
amended by the senate fails to satisfy
the expectations of the more insistent
downward revisionists," and whether
1t meets or shall be made to meet the
views of Mr.. Taft, as set forth in his
speeches, will be n matter of news en-
titled to first place in the chronicles
of the weeks events.

fenced to Imprisonment for 20 years and six of them have been condennea to death. Their execution mas been nostponed. however, because an appeal has been granted to the supreme court of the state.
 During the trials it was disclosed that few of the might riders were fishermen. and a majority of them nad suffered no grievance whatever. but, from the spirit of mischief and love of excitement, they had organized hand of marauders with officers and signs and bylaws. and had undertaken this barbarous method of preventing the speculators who formed the land company from carrying out their plans and defending the ancient privileges of the fishermen.
 They were not contented with these objects. however, but undertook to reg ulate the morals and the behavior Of the community. They served notice upon several people, both men and wom- en. that their habits and customs must be changed or they would pay a pen alty. and in several cases farmers who had nothing whatever to do with the fishery dispute were taken out and whipped or otherwise punished.
 Tn cir measures of persuasion were similar to those adopted by the night riders in the tobacco district of Ken lucky and in the eastern and northern
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-05-02

parts of this state, although the cause was different. Since the tobacco trust was organized 1t has attempted to con trol the cultivation and the methods of curing we'll as the prices of the tobacco leaf. Its agents at Louis vile, who have been practically the only purchasers of raw material since the trust was formed have given of
 fense and aroused the indignation of the community by their arbitrary meth
 ods. Ip order to offer a united resist ance, the tobacco planters organized as- sociations in different localities, which undertook to regulate the methods of cultivation and marketing the crops in opposition to the requirements of the trusts. The movement, however, was not unanimous. A large minority of planters preferred to do their own bus mess in their own way and accepted the terms of the trust. To compel tn em to stop dealing with the trust bands of night riders' were formed in al- most every county of Tennessee and Kentucky where tobacco was grown.
 You have read accounts in the news
 papers of the outrages committed by them and the efforts that have been made by the officials of both states to detect and punish the perpetrators. There has been reign of terror all through the tobacco country and 1t still continues in several counties. All
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-05-02

planters who will not join the associa- tion and cooperate with its members in opposition to the trust have had their property and their crops destroyed and many of them have suffered personal violence
 Governor Patterson has shown the same energy and determination in fighting the night riders at both ends of the state. the price of tobacco being the casus belli in one case and the rights to fish in Reel foot lake in the other, and the outrages have practically ceased in this state
 After the troubles of Reelfoot lake were suppressed the question was taken up by the legislature and a committee was ap- pointed to make Investigation and recommend what ought to be done Sew eral proposition have been advanced. One is to make state game and fish pre- serve of Reelfoot lake by purchase or condemnation proceedings; another is to pass an act declaring the lake navigable water, which will make 1t free to every body for gshing, shooting, for sport and pleasure, subject only to the general fish and game laws of the state
 The company has offered to sell the easement to the state for S75,000 with the condition that tho state recognize the lease to Bur6ick, which has nine years to run. Such a proposition cannot be considered moment; first. because there is very good reason to believe that the company did not pay more than 20 or 26 per cent of that amount for the property
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-05-02

and to ratify the Burdick lease is exact ly what the legislature is determined not to do, because 1t would simply perpetuate the underlying cause of all the trouble.
 The legislative committee spent a week or ten days at the lake with Joseph H. Acklan. the state warden. who used to be member of Congress from Louisiana, and is the author of the game and fish laws of Tennessee
 Mir. Acklan has taken an active interest in the controversy, and when I asked his plan of action, he said:
 ''I would declare the property open and permit professional fishermen to pay a small license tax on their catch; sufficient only to meet the expense of protecting the waters against poachers The fisher men. one and all. express a willingness to accept such conditions, provided they are given an open market and have the privilege of selling to whom they please
 The game, fish and forestry laws of Tennessee are admirably drawn and are clear in detail They protect not only the game the fish and the forests, but all plumage and song birds with the ex- ception of sparrows, owls. hawks, crows turkey -buzzards. MT. Acklan, who Is the author of the warden and license system, and has been state warden for several years, gives the greater part of his time to the patriotic duty of enforcing these laws. and also in making them under stood and popular among the fishermen and sportsmen in the state.
