Taft Orders More Pruninu.

Washington, Nov. 20. - President
Taft informed his cabinet officers, af-
ter scrutini2ing the final draft of the
estimates of the various government
departments for the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1911, that there must be
further and deeper cut in them, that
they would not do in their present
form.
In response to the urgent demands
of the president the heads of the va
rious departments already had held
their estimates down to what they con
sidered rock bottom figures. The pres
ident today, however, pointed out a
number of places where he declared
the pruning knife could be used to
advantage.
The president went into details of
each department He inaugurated
last year the policy of giving personal
attention to the estimated expenditure
of the government, declaring that the
best way to wipe out the deficiency in
the treasury was to reduce the outgo
of public funds.

Or. Mackav Is Star Witness.

Fremont Nov. 80. u would say
that the man is subject TO periodical
insanity and that on the thirteenth
day of August he was insane"
This answer by Dr. J. II. Mackay of
Norfolk, insanity expert, to the hypo-
thetical question propounded by coun.
sci for the defense in district court
yesterday afternoon marked the cit
max in the fight to save George W.
Osborne, the Blair painter, from death
on the gallows or life imprisonment
In calling DIR. Mackay to the witness
stand the attorneys for the defense
played their trump card and 1t is gen.
orally conceded that DR.. Mackay's tes-
timony will play an important part in
determining the final verdict.
In laying the foundation for Dr.
Mackay's testimony as to the mental
and physical condition of the defend
ant, Osborne's attorneys brought out
the fact that DR.. Mackay had made a
close study of insanity in its various
forms since 1894 and at one time was
superintendent of the state asylum for
the insane.
He testified that he had twice exam
ined Osborne, once in the Jail in Oc-
tober, and again on last Saturday
afternoon, and declared that Osborne
was insane on the night of the crime.
Tells of Osborne's Condition.
DR.. Mackay's story of the examina-
ton of Osborne was the most inter
esting testimony of the entire case.
He told of bindfolding the prisoner
and piercing his foot with pin. Os-
borne, he declared, sensed the pain
but was unable to pull his foot away
from the pin point, which showed that
his nervous system was in disorder.
A test of the eyes showed that the
pupils failed to react. Other tests
showed Osborne's mind to be unusual
ly slow in grasping ideas. The pris-
oner he said was unable to stand in
the attitude of soldier without sway
ing. His power of equilibrium was
defective.
THE prisoners frame is that Of a
type never found in the Caucasian
race among sane men," declared DR..
Mackay. 1T is such frame as that
common to idiots and resembling that
of the ape"
