THAW MAINTAINS
HE is NOT INSANE.
Answer to His Wife's Application for
Lunacy Commission.

Pittsburg. Aug. 23.-An answer was
filed today by Harry K. ThaW, through
his attorney, former Governor William
A Stone TO the petition of his wife,
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. in which Judge
l.. L. Davis was asked to appoint
lunacy commission to take charge CT
the income of Thaw in this state and
provide fer the support cf The wife
Thaws income is said to be $4,000
year.
Thaw claims that the verdict of the
jury in New York state of a finding
that he was insane and that the de-
cree confining him in Matteawan was
statutory and not a proceeding as to
the lunacy of Thaw. He claims that
the fact that he is still confined at
Matteawan does not judicia1ly or in
any way establish his present insan-
ity. The answer alleges that the pe-
tition asks the court to do what it has
no authority to do.
In the second part of the answer
Thaw states: Your affiant is not ct
present insane. He is quite capable
of attending to his own affairs, and
does attend to his own affairs. If there
was ever any arrangement mentally,
the affIant had entirely recovered from
it. and is now in the possession of all
his mental faculties.

Tart Surrounded by Veterans.
From the moment he reached Ro-
chester about nine o'clock this morn
ing until nine o'clock when he left for
Beverly, the president was surrounded
by veterans. He stood on a reviewing

Major Gen. Frederick D. Grant,
Mayor Edgerton and Commander in

with the president. There was some
surprise expressed when it was learned
that Governor Dix, who it was expect
ed would be present. left Rochester
last night. That an affront was in
tended to the president, however, was
not taken seriously by the members
of the party.
The Arbitration Treaties.
= Peace was rea1151y the subject of the
Presidents speech to the veterans to-
night, but he said he could not miss
an opportunity to draw an analogy be-
tween the contests of the past and
those of the present and the near fu-
ture. Turning aside from that purely
national question. he took up the gen
eral arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France. which the senate
foreign relations committee sought to
amend and which part of that COM
mittee labeled breeders of war;
Not Breeders of War.
In none of the objections made, by the
senate committee to the treaties could
the president find substance which
would lead him to change his mind az
to their desirab bility. That they would
prove breeders of war he could not
conceive; that the Monroe doctrine
might be held by European nations to
be subject to arbitration he found was
illogical and unfounded.
VIII Keep Up His Campaign.
If the senate rejects the treaties,
the president said, he would have to
abide by it's decision, but that he In
tends to keep up his campaign before
the country to have them ratified he

fession alleged by the police to have
been made by the seventeen-year- -old
defendant was placed before the jury
after Judge Grain had overruled an
objection OF Geiders counsel.
Admitted Ownership Of Handkerchief.
Detective jeremiah Barber testified
that young Geidel had admitted the
ownership of a bIoodstained handker-
chief found in the room of the slain
broker. According to the detectives
testimony, he showed the handkerchief
to GeideI and asked the bellboy if it
was his. Geidel admitted it was, the
officer said. and added: II used it
to wipe my hands on
"lt Makes Me Sick" Said GeideI.
Barber testified that he saw Geidel
again the morning following this con-
versation and asked him why he killed
Johnson.
Don't talk to me about that 1t
makes me SICK Barber said Geidel re-
sponded.
Defense May Claim Heart Failure.
Before the detectives took the stand
a line of defence had been foreshad-
owed during the examination of wit
nesses. Questions put by James A.
Gray, Geidel's counsel, to coroner S
physician Leblanc seemed to indicate
that the defence would try. to prove
that~Mr. Jackson died Of heart failure.
DR.. Lehane was asked if the body ap-
peared, disregarding the wounds, sim
f1ar to that of q person dead of heart
failure. 1t did not, the doctor replied.
Tho Curious Excluded.
Court officers this afternoon en-
forced unusually strict rules to ex-
clude crowds of the curious who
sought admission to the trial.
Boys Mother Present.
.Geide1 was dulI-eyed and pale and
marched mechanically into court at
the side of his lawyers. Mrs. Annie
'Geidel. mother of the accused boy,
entered the courtroom shortly after the
session was resumed and took a seat
in the back of the room.
Mother Smiled at Prisoner.
As the mothers eyes met those of
her son she smiled reassuringly, but
Geidefs immovable face gave no re-
sponse. A shade of disappointment or
worry crossed the mothers face at
this greeting. The trial will be con-
tinued tomorrow.

TREASURE.
A QUEST OF FINGER PRINTS
Frame Which Contained the "Mona
Lisa to Be Carefully Inspected for
That Purpose-couneiI of War Held.

Paris, August 23.-The mystery of
the disappearance from the Louvre Of
Leonardo da Vincfs great painting,
eMona Lisa popularity called by the
French la Jocunde," appears more
impenetrable than ever tonight.
Picture Disappeared Monday Morning
The only thing definitely established
as the result of today's investigations
is the fact that the picture disappeared
between the hours of and $50 o'clock
Monday morning. Whether it is still
in the Louvre or has been taken away
it is impossible at present to deter
mine.
Police Are Baffied.
Not the faintest clue has been dis
covered in spite of the united efforts
of sixty of the smartest detectives in
Paris and all on the museum staff.
Whether the picture was distracted by
one or several persons also remains IN
doubt, and NJ. Lepine, the prefect of
police, admits that he is completely
Museum to Be Closed.
It is one of the hardest cases in the
annals of criminal investigation and
the search is being continued with un-
remitted zeal. To facilitate this the
museum will be closed for three days.
No one will be admitted on any pre-
text whatever. except the police and
officials.
A Council of War.
A council of war was held in the
Louvre this afternoon. Various hypo-
theses were advanced. weighed and
examined in turn. and finally rejected
for lack of evidence. The consensus
ture has not left the building, but
is hidden in one of the innumerable
recesses. All the gate keepers are
positive that no such package as the
picture would have made was taken
from the museum.
Buildings to Be Searched.
It will take at least a week to search
the buildings. It is thought the pic
ture might be hidden in one OF the
cases covered by straw.
Only Expert Could Do Job Alone.
An experiment made today estab-
lished the fact that while guardian,
or a person accustomed to the work,
could handle a picture the size OF
Mona Lisa" unaided, it would be
practically impossible for an inexpert
hand to detach and carry it alone. 1t
is supposed that the thief or thieves
entered the museum before it was
closed on Sunday and remained hid
den in the lavatories all night, emerg-
ing in the morning wearing workman's $
blouse and thus passing unremarked.
To Look for Finger Prints.
All persons present on Monday were
again today subjected to a searching
examinat ton by Magistrate Drioux, but
nothing further was brought to light.
NJ. Bertillon took a number of photo
graphs of the frame and the paper
packed around the frame to prevent
dust from penetrating between the
frame and the painting, pieces of
which were found strewn about close
to the spot where the frame was dis
covered. These will be examined un-
der the microscope for finger prints.
