AMERICAN PAINTER
Of FAMOUS MURALS
WILL SETTLE HERE
c, Y. Turner Has Taken
Studio Formerly Occupied
by Titanic Victim.

G. Y. Turner. one Of the best known
American painters Of the present day,
has announced that he will leave New
York, his former place of residence. and
make his home in washington. He has
taken the studio at 1856 Wisconsin ave.
nue. northwest, formerly occupied By
Frank d. Millet. who went down with
the Titanic.
There are two reasons for Mr.. Tur-
ner's change of residence. One is that
the MiHet studio is larger than any In
New York, and as Mr.. Turner'S special
ty is mural paintings 1t 10 desirable that
his studio be as large as possible.
Has School In Baltimore.
A second reason is that he has re-
Gently been elected director Of the
Maryland Institute at Baltimore, which
IL both an art gallery and q school, and
1t will be necessary for him to spend
considerable part OF his time in that
city.
Mr.. Turner has done several paintings
which have become famous in this .coun-
try and Europe. Two Of his best are
at the Baltimore court house. They are
large murals, one being the Burning
Of Peggy Stewart and the other "Pur-
chase by Lord Baltimore"
Another Of his famous pieces is in the
Manhattan Hotel. New York, and Il
called THE Triumph or Manhattan"
Speciality Is Mural Work.
Although his specially is the large
mural work, he has on several occas-
ions taken charge OF the entire interior
decorations for public buildings in order
that the effect OF his mural work should
not suffer because of lack Of harmony
In the other decorations. Mr.. Turner
thinks his best success in this line has
been the Hudson county court house In
New York and the court house al
Youngstown, Ohio.
Mr.. Turner left yesterday for New
York, where he will attend to some
fnal business arrangements. He will
return to Washington the last of this
week.

Lehman's Resignation
Held Up by Lorimer

Former Solicitor General Lehman. of
the Department Of Justice, is telling a
story of how former Senator Lorimer
kept Lehman on the Government pay
roll, although the nlinoisan could not
stay there himself For a week after
Lehman resigned, Lorimer forced Leh-
man % hold his position and draw his
salary, although Lehman was anxious
to leave Washington.
Protraction of the Lorimer case In the
Senate caused Lehman's troubles. Leh-
man turned In his resignation just about
the time the Lorimer debate began 10
the Senate. President Taft then ap-
pointed Solicitor General Bullitt Of Ken
lucky to fill Lehman's place. BY that
time the Lorimer debate was In full
swing. Lorimer himself took the floor
for three days.
While the Lorimer case had the right
of way In the Senate, Bullitts nomina-
ton could not be confirmed by the
Senate. For solid week Lehman SAT

DISTRICT ALI[MST
EXPLAINS EVIDENCE
IN THAW HEARING
DR.. White Declares He Made
No Examination of Pa
tient at First Trial.

For the first time since he was called
as an expert witness in the case Of
Harry X. Thaw, slayer Of Stanford
White. who has fought for years 70
free himself from New York insaue
asylums. DR.. william A. White, super
intendent Of the Government Hospital
for the Insane-St. Elizabeths-and one
Of the foremost alienists in this ooun-
try, today explained his part in the
several proceedings, the most recent Of
which closed last week.
DR.. Whites explanations came In
answer to the brief filed at White
Plains yesterday by william Travers
Jerome, special attorney for the State.
The brief was submitted to Justice
Martin J.. Keogh. who will hand down
his decision as to whether Thaw is
week or the frst OF the coming week.
Jerome Claims Contradictions. :
In it Jerome pointed out that DR..
Whites most recent observations made
of Thaw and submitted at the hearings
are directly contrary to those taken in
the original proceedings.
In the brief Jerome says substantially
that DR.. White, "a Thaw alienist, testi-
fed Thaw never had been insane. ye,
at the first trial he said he was"
Besides bringing out this point
jerome says that while at the most
recent hearing DR.. White declared q
mental examination to be of prime i'm
portance, he was willing, In 1909, to &c
on the stand to swear to Thaw's IN
sanity without ever having given him
an examination. 1t was because Of ex'
aminations made recently. Dr., White
testified, that he changed his mind.
1 Answer of Ahenist. '...
/ DR.. White today answered the former
district attorney In this way tsr
l .'In the original hearing. did not
testify that Thaw was insane. I mere
ly went on the stand and answered
hypothetical questions. From these
answers, OF course. 1t may have been
deduced that considered the defend
ant mentally unbalanced. -.
IT went to the original proceedings
with view Of giving Thaw person
al examination. I waited for an OF. op.
afforded. I was placed on the stand
nevertheless. and, as stated before,
answered Hypothetical questions.
Recently, however, / was accorded
an opportunity to see and talk with

which time I questioned and quizzed
him to my hearts content

Of observation, l was fitted to speak

ceedings, and this opinion Is based or

It was made clear today that fight
IL coming ON the floor of the Senate
over the Pujo bill to ciothe the House
Banking and Currency Committee with
such visitatorial powers that It can
carry the Money trust investigation into
an examination Of the books and ac-
counts Of national banks.
The Senate Finance Committee will
turn down the bill. Today. the commit
tee held a meeting, and. on account of
the absence of Senator Bailey. deferred
action until Monday. The committee di-
vided along party lines on the question
of postponement and the temper de-
veloped in the committee made It clear
that when final action is taken Mon
day the bill will be adversely reported.
Smith to Make Fight.
Soon after the committee met Senator
Hoke Smith Of Georgia, arose to press
his motion for the discharge of the
Finance Committee from the considera-
ton Of the bill. Senator Lodge explained
why the committee had deferred action,
and on the strength of this, Senator
Smith held off temporarily, but when the
committee makes it's adverse report.

Senators friendly to the banks are
much wrought up about the matter.
They say that II the bin is driven
through 1t will compel the banks to
expose their loans and details of their
business that should not be exposed.
Teh purpose of the House Banking
and Currency Committee in putting In
the bill was to meet the conditions
brought about by the unofficial informa-
ton that some of the banks. especially
in New York, would deny the right OF
q committee to investigate their affairs
or relations to other financial institu-
tions. ~ ~
The Banking and Currency Commit
tee was given to understand 1t would
meet strong opposition from the banks
and so the Pujo bill to clothe the COM
mittee with visitatorial powers was put
in to prevent the Money trust investi-
cation from becoming abortive and be-
Ing tied up by litigation.
Levy Against 1t.
Congressman Levy of New York ap-
peared before the Finance COMMITTEES
today and strongly advised against the
bill. 1t was generally considered he
represented the views of some of the
leading banks in New York. '
The Finance Committee heard argu.
ments in favor of the issue Of Scent
piece by Congressman Ashbrook and
Buckley of Ohio. The Scent fare
charged on the street cars of Cleveland
Toledo. and Detroit was advanced as
one reason. for the change. The COM
mittee took no action. and will give
further hearings.
Senator Smoot was authorized to re-
merchants and manufacturers Of New
York further time for free entry Of
art works and other works for purpose
of exhibit.

fatigue of the participants after two
or three hours of street parading in
all sorts of weather. The public is
reminded, however, that in moving the
properties and paraphernalia of the
exhibition from the railroad to the
grounds, will, in itself, constitute a
parade of greater interest and vastly
more novel than any other organiza-
ton can offer. The Indians and rough
riders will ride their horses to the

NO STREET PARADE.
The Wild West And Far East Will Not
Give Street Pageant When the
Exhibition Visits This City.

For many reasons the management
of Buffalo Bills Wild West and Paw
nee Bills Far East has decided to
abandon the street parade which has,
in past years, been the usual thing with
travelling organizations of this size
and character. 1t is set forth in many
instances the late arrival of the train
bearing the paraphernalia makes it i'm
possible to give parade and start the
afternoon performance on time.
Through these delays the public is
compelled to experience tedious wait,
while the work of preparing for the
performance goes on. Again it is con-
sidered an unnecessary hardship to
compel men and horses to parade for
two hours before beginning the after
noon exhibition, especially when it is
considered that two shows every day
are the rule with this exhibition. By
doing away with the street pageant
men and horses are fresh for their
performance and it would seem that
the public is entitled to perfect per
Torrance, which it pays for, rather
than to a free street parade which
gives, at best, but poor idea of the
magnitude of the exhibition. Another
reason which has served to influence
the decision is the fact that mer
chants in the cities visited object tC
parades because they interrupt bust
ness and interfere with general traf
| fic. So strenuous is this objection
that in many cities a permit to parade
cannot be secured, and in other places
the fee demanded is set at such al
