NO LONGER NOON IN STRAND.
Violent Remedy Applied to Clock
that Fooled Londoners.

For ten years the clock of st.
Mary le- Strand has looked due west
past the Savoy and Cecil hotels and
on the Charing Cross announcing to
all that the hour was exactly IL
O'clock A couple of days ago the
hands of the old clock were removed
and familiar feature of the Strand
has thus been lost.
The rector's wife explains that peo-
pie passing down the Strand about
noon have been deceived into thinking
that the old clock was a trustworthy
timepiece. and the result has been
'innumerabl& letters of complaint
from all kinds of irate people who
have lost trains or missed appoint
ments. This has gone on for years,
until at last cloekmaker offered 10
take away the hands and leave the
dial blank but not misleading"
The reason why st. Mary-le-
Strands clock pointed to the same
hour for ten long years is simple
enough There was no money to de-
fray the expenses of keeping it in or
der and regularly wound.
ITp to eleven or twelve years ago
the vestry looked after it, but when
the Westminster city council took
over the vestries the clocks income
was stopped Private generosity
kept it going till 1902. Then 1t
stopped. and except for three hours
in 1908 1t has never gone since.
It's. short resumption o. labor was
due TO the enterprise of an organ
blower who one day climbed the
tower, wound up the spring. and af-
ter a struggle managed to get the
pendulum to swing. To the astonish-
ment of the verger. the rector ana
people in the Strand. the old clock
recorded the hours of ], and . ana
then stopped. Next day it was put
back to T. and there II remained TIL
a couple of days ago.
The clock is so old -fashioned that
1t needs winding every day. and that.
with the 5000 needed TO put 1t In or
der is apparently more than the re-
sources of St. ry-le-Strand are

TELEGRAPH SKATERS ROMANCE,
Error Turns Tender Message of Alice
ton Into Cruel Farewell.

New York, July l2.--An unusual and
yet easily explainable error in the trans
mission of telegraph message has re-
suited in claim for damages against
one of the telegraph companies for
breaking an engagement that was soon
to end in marriage The company is
charged with alienatioRof the young wom-
ans affections. The message was sent
by the young man and read as fol-
lows:
Il love you forever"
When it was delivered to the ad-
dressee, it read:
Il leave you forever"
Under the circumstances there was
nothing for her to do but send back
the young mans gifts, his engagement
ring and all his letters, and before the
sender of the message could communi-
cate with her she had accepted another
offer of marriage. Hence the claim for
damages. The company's defense is
that the mistake was not due to negi-
genee but that the Morse spelling for
'love" and leave" is so much alike
that trouble on the wires caused the
error. The word 'love" has the dot,
space and dot for the letter 90 and
''leave has dot for sc" and dot
and dash for "a"

THREE ALIENISTS
CALL THAW SANE
Three Others Say He's Dangerous and
Judge Keogh Must Decide
the Question.

White Plains, N. Y, July I2.-Wheth-
er Harry X. Thaw is to continue a pris-
oner in Matteawan insane asylum or is
to go free will probably be decided with
in the next two weeks.
Justice Martin J. Keogh, before whom
Thaw, through his attorney, Clarence j.
Shearn, has been trying to demonstrate
for nearly month that he is sane and
illegally deprived of his liberty, now
has before him the opinion of six alien
lists, the best of their class in the coun-
try. Three agree that Thaw is sane
and should be turned loose, while three
insist, equally as strenuously, that if he
goes free he will probably commit an
other murder.
Dr. John Russell, head of Matteawan
and friend of Thaw, told the court he
feared that if Thaw was released and
returned to his former habits, especially
to drinking to excess, he might commit
another murder. This statement is ex-
pected to have great weight with the
court in arriving at a decision.
DIR. Charles X. Mills, professor of neu-
rology at the university of Pennsylvania,
was the chief witness yesterday. He re-
iterated his statement of Wednesday
that he believed Thaw could be safely
given his freedom.
Other witnesses yesterday were alta
ches of the Tombs prison in New York,
where Thaw was confined; private de-
tectives who conferred with him in pris-
on, and court attendants, all of whom
swore they had never noticed anything
irrational in Thaws actions.
