White Plains, n. Y, Aug. 3.-Three
aEenists testified in the Thaw hear
ing today that Thaw is now insane
and a dangerous person to be at
large. Thaw was called next by Je
rome, and appeared pale and shaken.
Jerome read several notes written by
Thaw and asked him to explain them.
After laborious explanations Thaw
said, And / want you to know, Mr..
Jerome. that these notes, you call
suggestions, were written at the re
quest Of my lawyers"
DO you mean to tell me, who OBJ
served you in both homicide trials,
that you did not believe you knew
? more about your case than your law
Myers did," asked Jerome.
Il do" answered Thaw.
Thaw was excused after a few
more questions along the same line,
and other alienists were called.
Thaw's attorney will cross examine
the anenists tomorrow.
EXAMINED BY COURT.
Justice Isaac w. Mills again step
ped into the examiners case today,
and from DR.. Amos T. Baker, acting
superintendent of the Matteawan asy-
lum, obtained the cIearest statement
yet expressed on the stand at the
present proceedings regarding the
mental condition of the slayer uf
stanford White. The result of his
questioning might be claimed as an
advantage by either side. The wit
ness said that he did not consider
the opportunities he had to examine
the prisoner sufficient to permit him
to form a satisfactory conclusion,
nevertheless he declared his belief
that the prisoner is now insane, and
that his release would be a menace 20
public safety Justice Mills began
with the observation that he consid-
cred DR.. Baker an extremely import
ant officer. since he was state Of
f1ceT and therefore supposedly free
from bias.
What is your position?" he ask
ed. rs it that you have reached
from your study of this case and
observation of the man a full and
firm conviction that he is insane, or
is it that you have not had sufficient
opportunity to study that problem and
reach such a conclusion, one way or
the other.
THAW is INSANE
1--WE have had a limited examina-
ton, from which we consider the man
insane" replied DR.. Baker.
do you consider that limited ex-
animation sufficient to reach a full
firm conclusion as to his condition?
mo, sir"
"You had him under observation for
eleven months. I don't understand
why that was not sufficient"
He hasn't answered our ques-
tions"

Manufacturers of Hartford Adver= Using for Men in Many

Why Trade Schools Will be Paid Fer by New England, Put Benefit Other

From the cities of New England goes up the cry for skilled workers. If 300 skilled mechanics should arrive in Hartford tomorrow they could doff their coats and go to work" So states the Hartford Times. in it's issue of Wednesday. It continues:
 50 urgent is the demand for ma chinists. sheet metal and wood pattern sociation Is advertising for this class of help"
 The demand Is not confined to Hart ford. It comes from Bridgeport. Springfield. from Worcester. from Bos- ton. It comes also from the West And the West gets what 1t wants. The West is young. democratic. progressive. It wants the best workers It Is will ing to pay them. It Is willing to give them cities in which 1t Is a pleasure to live. Consequently the East Is losing the pick of its help faster than men can be trained to take their places. More than one Eastern city Is already reduced. to maintain it's su- premacy. to the further refinement of labor saving machinery. and the ern- ployment of the cheapest labor that can be had Said a former Bridgeport manufacturer yesterday:

Bristol. Dec. s.-The monotonous panorama of feminine hair puffs, rats" bangs" and kindred others, has shifted from the extensive offices of the New Departure Manufacturing company of Bristol. Instead of being adorned with the usual display of ar tificial headgear. the ninety female employees of the company today sat behind their desks and typewriters with their hair simply parted in the middle and without a trace of artifce Only when the men folk In the com pany's employ urgently requested an explanation, did few of the bravest of the reformers shed the Illuminating rays.
 It was learned that yesterday at noon the ninety women ate luncheon together and before the meal was over the conversation drifted into a dis cussion of leprosy and it's causes. One knowing girl insisted that the germs of the dread disease were carried in artificial hair and that the women who indulged in "puffs'' and "rats' and the like willingly exposed herself to the contagion- So impressed were the girls that they vowed before the luncheon was concluded to avoid all risk of contracting disease by discard ing what was not their own" for ever.
 Each of the ninety has kept her vow. Rats" are today scarcer than the lost pearl in the company's offices.

CORINTHIANS ARE

ONE OF BEST RECORDS OF SEASON.

The Corinthians of Stratford ended successful season last Saturday by defeating the Stratford Jrs. 6-5. The Corinthians were minus their back field and had to use green men in two positions, Smith, Mosher, King, Goodwin and Rozerthal being out of the game. The record this season is 10 wins and 1 tie.

Great Lakes.
 They do not in the West regard the city as a tread mill. in which many feet are to walk forever simply to tu n the mill. but as a club, which Is the common home of all the people, and which Is to be made fit for the use of all the people.
 "In Western cities the employers do rot make common cause with monop- oly against the employees. He joins with his employees to fight monopoly The Western employer is intelligent enough to know that good homes at low rent. supplied with public water, and lighted by public electricity are as necessary to him as to his people. The Western employer knows that 1t Is not to his interest to have his help exploited by every special interest that can get itself chartered.
 Tn the West the feeling of democ- racy Is very much stronger than in the East. The i6ea that the worker Is in another class has not appeared there.
 These are some of the reasons" concluded the speaker "why the East Is unable to hold It's best men in com petition with the West.
 ''The Slav. the Italian, the Japanese. these and many more leave their places in the old world to come to New England, because the conditions they find here are better than those there. The earlier population of New Eng
 
 Swedes move westward for the same reason
 .The East must improve the condi- tions under which the ordinary man is living; otherwise the East will become the sweatshop of the nation"
 What about Trade Schools? Will they not relieve the condition?"
 There are no Trade Schools. Noth- ing Is more pitifully significant of the small understanding that the Eastern manufacturer has of the economic fac tor than h's attitude toward Trade Schools. When they come they will be public and supported by pubic money. The workers who graduate from them will be substantially pro- fessional men. They will have the esprit du corps. As fast as they are trained they will seek the better con- ditions. political. social and economic. faster than any group Of workers ever did before The Trade School in New | will be maintained at the ex- pense of the Eastern people, but for | the Western employer"
