EFFORTS FOR
RELEASE OF

Rochester, n. Y, Jan. 21.-The re-
port Of the special committee on Grim
inal insane to the State Bar associa-
ton in reviewing the defects of the
present laws scathingly rebukes the
efforts to hberate Thaw from Mattea-
wan asylum. The report recites the
persistent efforts to release ThaW
from the asylum, TO which he was
committed after his own plea of in
sanity in the killing of Stanford White,
and predicts that eventually a judge
will be found who will release him.
1t scores expert witnesses and urges
that the law be amended so as to pre-
vent recurrence of such efforts in
cases.

Washington. D. c., Jan. 21.-Re-

terday in a report that friends OF
Colonel Roosevelt wanted him III

the Long Island district now repre-
sented by VIC. Cocks. and that they
had assured him IL he was elected, as
he undoubtedly would be. he would
be named to succeed Joseph G. Can

The meeting, which had its initia-
tive in local opposition to United

demned the senator only mildly and
took no action in the way of indorse-
ment Of a successor. Denunciatton o.
the new tariff law and stinging rebuke

The three leading speakers, while
lacking in praise of President Taft,

said. and with three more years 20

Sees Parting of Ways.
Mayor Don L. Love OF Lincoln, who
presided. sounded the keynote when
he said the republican party had
reached the parting of the ways.
"The time has come when it must
declare itself to be wholly a progress
sive party or it will become wholly
a react1onary party he declared. 1T

all its past traditions, point the for
ward way, and millions of it's loyal
sons today are calling it to come out
boldly upon the side of progress.
NO party Is big enough to hold La
Toilette, Cummins and Brlstow. and
at the same time to hold Cannon, Aid
rich and Depew. These men stand
for diametrically opposite views Both
sides are struggling for the control
Of the republican party We. as re-
publicans, must enlist under the lead
ership either Of one or the other. and
it is for us to say tonight which shall
1t be. If the party organized shall be
captured by Cannon and his tribe,
where, fellow citizens of Nebraska,
where shall we go? Heaven forbid
that we should ever be compelled to
answer that question"

memorandum of the reply was given
out. but the best information obtaina-
BILE indicates the communication Is
brief and the declination to accept the
naturalization proposition is based on
several grounds. the chief of which
are: The American plan would be of
no advantage whatever to Japan; it
would afford no advantage to China; it
would not change the commercial stu
alton in Manchuria where Japan is ad-
herring strictly to its pledges of open
door and equal opportunity.
Polite But Firm.
1t is understood the reply is couched
in terms Of friendly appreciation of the
American purpose. but it is not of an
argumentative' character. and its con-
clusions are not qualified.
RussIa's Reply Identical.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-Russia's
reply to Knox's note proposing of the
naturalization of Manchurian railways
was delivered to Ambassador Rockhill
today. It is practically identical with
Japan's reply.

the proposal for naturalization of the
existing railroads. 1t states also. the
Russian government considers the al
tentative proposition for it's participa-
ton in the international syndicate for
the construction of the Chinchow-Ai-
gun line acceptable in principle but
because of the political and strategical
importance of the enterprise and its
bearing on the East Chinese railroad
Russia will defer a final answer on
this subject pending the receipt of IN
formation as to the principles of the
American project.
Reserves the Right
Russia reserves the right to pass
upon all such projects as affecting its

ests The note throughout is in a
friendly tone and the American prop
osition Is criticised strongly on it's In

This proposition formed part Of
