THAW III FROM DRAUGHT IN
 HIS CELL IN T0MbS PRISON

ness interferes with their plans ThaW's attorneys will place him upon the wit ness stand tomorrow to tell his own story in his own way. In this manner, they said, they hoped to show the jury that their client has recovered his san ity.
 Nearly all the witnesses today were employees of MatteaWan Hospital or persons who mad seen one or both of the automobiles in which the escape was effected
 Each of the employees was asked questions designed to indicate to the jury that Thaw was sane at the time of his escape. These witnesses were unanimous in agreeing that Thaw' s personal appearance was always neat, that his conduct was exemplary and that he occupie& his spare mo- lGents by reading text books on var lous subjects. many of the witness es identified one or more of Thaw' S co-defendants as the men they had seen in an automobile. One of the
 witnesses. however, identified a juror as Thaw.
 Franklin Kennedy, special deputy attorney general in charge of the prosecution, announced that the state would close it's case tomorrow. Abra ham Levy, counsel for the co-defen- dants, then will move to dismiss the case against all of his clients upon the ground that the state established i no case.
 It became known that John Anhut q young lawyer who was sent t.
 Sing Sing for attempting to bribe the
 superintendent of the hospital, had
 been brought down from Ossinng by the prosecution. It is intended to have Anhut testify. Mention of tho
 attempt at bribery was ruled out yesterday by court, however.

Election Clerk Testifics He Took Christian Names from Front and Surnames from Back of the Direc- tories.
MAYOR AND MANY
 OTHERS IN CASE,
Judge Anderson Cites Me Manigal's Part in Dyna- mite Cases to Permit ln- troduction of Cordes' Testimony
rAssocIATFD PRESS DIsPArcH1

INDIANAPOLIS, March 10-Tak ing testimony began in the case of Mayor Roberts and twenty seven rupt an election last November in Terre Ilaute, before United States District Judge Anderson. Walter Cordcs. election clerk, testified he manufactured names by the hundred for election lists using the simple process of taking the Christian names from the front of the directory and the surnames from the back.
 Counsel for the defense moved to strike out the testimony because Cordes, who had previously pleaded guilty, had not requested permission tostestify
 The same question came up in the dynamite conspiracy case" retorted the judge. "McManigal was not re- quested to testify, but his testimony vas not excluded. and the verdict of this court has since been sustained ny the highest court Proceed We are not here to play a game. What we want is facts"
 A suggestion was advanced by counsel for the defense that the de- fense would show the card index application for registration was made up was perfectly legal and the judge remarked, Not in Indiana"
 claud Patton. one of the SS men who pleaded guilty. said that while he never had directly bought a vote he had told a number of men he hoped they would vote certain way. When these men returned from the polls and assured him they had voted in accordance with his hopes. he gave them money some of them as much as 8, he said Patton tes- tified he was given a hundred dollars at the democratic headquarters the night before election
 Patton formerly was assistant su- perintendent of cemeteries in Terre Haute. He testified he worked in a room in the city hall until two days before the registration day last Oct ober, filling out application blanks from cards supplied him by Edw. Holler, then chief of police, and Harry Foreback. He said he knew Mayor Roberts on the last day he copied applications, and told Roberts what he was doing
 He also testified that on election day he called on Roberts and told him that he wasn't able to put any thing over in Precinct c of the Fifth ward, as the republicans were too

ATTACKS FORTS
 IN NDARDANELLES
 BY DIRECT FIRE
Super-Dreadnaught Queen Elizabeth Enters Straits and Begins the Bombard- ment of Forts in the Mar rows
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

LONDON, March 10.-Of the opera tions in the Dardanelles, the most significant news is that the suerp dreadnaught, Queen Elizabeth, has entered the straits and commenced to Lombard the forts in the narroWs by direct fire. It is considered very certain that Vice Admiral Garden will not allow his biggest ship to pass the entrance unless it is fairly safe.
 Further evidence that the forts in the narrows suffered severely is con tained in dispatches from Athens, which say two battleships ventured right into the narroWs during the night to protect vessels engaged in mine sweeping there These dis patches report the Kilid Bahr and Erenkeui batteries are badly dam aged, and the fire from the Turkish forts is becoming weaker Some ex- perts believe all the forts in the narrows should be demolished within two weeks, after which it would be smoother sailing for the ships as most of the guns are concentrated in that part of the straits. The new Greek ministry sworn in issued a declaration advising the country 10 maintain it's neutrality for the present at least
 A dispatch from Athens says in the bombardment of the Dardanelles on Monday. thirty guns, mounted on motor trucks. were destroyed by the warships fire

On the eve of the adjournment of the legislature, the senate finds itself with it's work brought up to date while the house is where it was the night before. though nominally it had made some progress with the general appropriation bill. The en- tire day in the house yesterday was spent either in the consideration of that bill. in an attempt to evade it's consideration and in attempts to force it's consideration. It was evi- dent to the leaders that at the rate the house was going, under the rule for it's consideration for one hour each day, the bill would probably be finished a few days after ad- journment.
 This rule, by the way, was made at the instance of Chairman Powers seconded by Mir. Claypool as long ago as March 4. and on Tuesday night less than one third of the bill had been completed.
 Mir Proctor yesterday morning re- newed an effort he had made the day before for the continuous con sideration of the bill The motion was in the course of the regular or der just after an attempt to interest

Great Mteyest

 Decision Today
Special to The Republican,

FLORENCE. March 10-AlthoAgh the case is certain to be carried up appeal, great interest centers in the decision of superior court today m the application of Knox Laird for re- lease from the state prison on an un- conditional pardon from Gov. Hunt Judge Baughn has announced that he will read his decision from the bench this morning.
 While Lairds fight for freedom is being watched with interest, the fact that the decision will be the first court opinion on the status of the new board of pardons and paroles is uppermost In many quarters it is believed that q supreme court decision cannot be had before March 19, the date set for the execution of five prisoners here and that today's decision will determine whether any action will be taken to reprieVe the condemned men, and in whom the power is vested

Most Drastic Regulations i'll Arizona's History to Be Proclaimed by Governor Today Will Conform With Texas Law
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 SUSPENDS SHIPMENT
New Regulations Will Pave Way for Cattle, Hay and Grain to Move Freely Within Four Southwest crn States

Prohibiting the shipment into Ari- zona of livestock, poultry. hay, straw and grain of all descriptions, the most drastic livestock quarantine in the history of Arizona will be pre- claimed today by Governor Hunt. A resolution asking the governor to take this action was adopted yester- day at the meeting of the live stock sanitary board.
 The new quarantine law, which is identical with that adopted by Texas March l, forbds the importation of straw, anti-hog- cholera serum and hog cholera virus, as the dreaded foot and mouth disease it has been found is spread ny these means as well as by cattle and hay. The quar- antine will become effective about March F. Similar regulations, it is stated, already have been adopted by the state of New Mexico.
 Cattle shipments into or through Arizona already have been suspended by order of Supt. T. H. Williams of the Southern Pacific, who. appeared before the board yesterday. The or der insructs agents not to accept shipments to points into Arizona or for movement across this state, bring the cattle business as far as inter state business is concerned to q complete stanGstill. The santa Fc and Fl Paso and Southwestern will adopt similar regulations.
 Additional precautions against the disease were not recommended be cause of any new outbreak of the epidemic, or any new developments, but to put Arizona on an equal footing with the other states of the southwest. With the new quarantine in effect Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and California will be able to let &Own the bars and allow shipments of live stock and hay to pass across their borders, provided, of course, such shipments originate in any of the four states. As reported eX- clusively by The Republican yester- day morning telegrams advising snch an interstate modification of the quarantine regulations already have teen sent the governors of New Mexico and Texas In addition the live stock sanitary board yesterday wired J. II. Avery. chairman of the Texas live stock board asking for q conference as soon as convenient, looking to an agreement for the eX- change of shipments.

CARRANzA HAS SENT REPLY ID
 UNITED STATES
Formal Answer to Repre- sentatlons of American Government Received in Code and Now Being Deciphcrcd
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Car- ranza's formal reply to the urgent representations of the American gov in Mexico City were received by the state department late tonight IL was cabled in code, and is now being deciphered for submission to Secre- tary Bryan tomorrow.
 A telegram from the charge in Mexico City says:
 Tn my opinion the effect of the American note on Carranza and Obregon has been extremely good. It is necessary, however, that i'm mediate steps be taken in sending supplies, food and forage to the cap ital. Whatever party is in power in Mexico City and Vera Cruz, now to plan the means to prevent a re- currence of a similar situation would be to insist that local troops main tain inviolate railway communication between the two points.
 Miss Mabel T. Boardman, of the American National Red Cross, con suited Secretary Bryan and Counsel Tor Lansing of the state apartment with regard to Mexican relief It was decided to await further infor- nation from Mexico City before the final steps. The advisability of in viting other American nations espe- cially Argentine, Chile and Brazil, to join forces with the United States in the relief work. was suggested
 Secretary Bryan announced that the food situation is still serious in Mexico City and that the forces of Obregon appeared not to have evacu- ated the city, although they might do so at any moment. No more Warships have been ordered to Mexi- can waters and none will be sent pending further developments in the

November s t. 13 Fixed hy Commission - BOOM ile Grand PriX Auto Race and Nine-Dav Gailoping Meet Planned

Arizona state fair. Nov. s to 13
 A Grand Prix auto race of 300 miles
 A possible nine day race meet
 Perhaps a full day for motorcycles
 Those are among the intensely in terestng things brought out at this weeks meeting of the state fair com mission.
 In conference with Representative c. P Bullard of the A. A. A., the commission considered plan for an Arizona 300-mile Grand PriX auto race on the mile track. It was de- cided to test the sentiment of the people, and in case it was favorable to promote such an event in addition to the regular automobile day. It is another example of the increasing popularity of the automobile races, as attractions at the state fair ISor this race. the greatest drivers in He world might be brought to Phoenix. The event would assume an import ance far greater than all the rest of the fair together In fact, it would begin to rank with the desert road races.
 Tn the event the pari- mutuel racing bill passes and is made a law, the fair is almost sure to last nine days this fall. And as sure as the fair goes two days over the week, the motor cycle races will be given a day by themselves. Secretary Tom Shaugh- messy of the commission said last night that it was conceded every where the two wheelers could make much better records on the Phoenix track than the automobiles. and that since the performances of last fair week, it was certain they stood as high in the estimation of the crowds.

Baked at Other Points, the Germans Are Now Trying to Break Through Rus sian Qualifications ill Northern Poland
BRINGING UP
 A NEW ARMY
A Big Battle is Developing Along the East Prussian Front, While Another is in Progress in the Region of Suwalki
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcH1

LONDON, March 10.-Balked at other points, the Germans are making another attempt to break through the Poland. They are advancing from khorjele on the East Prussian iron tier along the OrZyc river and by the roadsl eading southward to PrZaSnysZ. This is one of the routes the Germans took in their great rush from East Prussia in February, which finally ended in their defeat at Przasnysz. For the new attempt they have brought up troops which have been operating in the region of Grodno. and some of the new army which has been training since the outbreak of the war in the interior of Germany.
 The point selected for attack is the most favorable along the East Prussian front for a splendid rail- way system can bring troops and supplies to the border, and from which good roads lead to PrZasnysZ. big battle is developing in this region, and while one of almost equal importance is in progress farther north in the region of SuWalki, where the Russians have pressed the Germans back to their own border In the west there appears to be little change. The Germans issued a long report saying the French offensive in Champagne was fruitless, which is at variance with French reports of al- most daily progress.
 The Russians appear to have coun- tered successfully the German of fensive on the Pilica river. and in ! the CarpathianS they are withstand ing the continued attacks along the whole front. With all the heavy fighting on the continent, the people in England continue to concern them selves chiefly with the operations of German submarines, one of which was sunk by the destroyed Ariel, in an attempt to force the Dardanelles The admiralty announced tonight
 that the German submarine sunk by Destroyer Ariel was the U-12, not the U-20. as previously stated. The | U-12 is smaller and older than the U-20.
 The U12 had taken an active part
 in the German campaign against shipping. The craft is of 250 tons, a cruising radius of 1900 miles is armed with three eighteen inch tor
 pedo tubes. and two high angle guns. and has a speed of thirteen
 knots on the surface and eight knots submerged
 I As in the case of other submarines sunk. the admiralty gives no details | of the sinking of the U-12, beyond
 the mere fact that the destroyer rammed her. This makes the fifth
 submarine to be sunk by British war
 ships, but it is believed in London
 many more have been sunk by mer- l chantmen. or met accidents.

House Makes Practically No Progress ill Day Spent Considering or Attempt ing to Evade Work on the Budget Bill
FORM OF BILL IS
 CHANGED SLIGHTLY
Movement for Contiuous Consideration is Defeated by Administration Major ity-EXtra Session Mon day

A majority of uncertain and fmctuating strength was strug- gling in night session of the house to firish the reading of the general appropriation bill and eliminate the emergency clause. The latter ondeavor was regard ed as a precautiOn rather than a necessity, but if it should be- come necessity it would be q dire one. The majority could not command a two-thirds vote.
 The reading of the bill pro- ceeded much more slowly than in the afternoon. Nessrs. Chris ty. Flanagan and Graham were engaged in preventing precipitate action. To the majority it might have seemed that they were even dilatory and even filibustering.
 Their remarks on various top ics had the effect of bringing a a member of the majority to his feet now and then to relieve them. Such members were all fish that came to their net At half past nine o'clock the minority assisted by some mem bers of the majority moved by the exceeding liberality of the appropriations for it, were ,en- gagged in slaughtering the sec tions relating to the Northern Normal. There were yet thirty one sections to be read and they included the provisions for the Tempe Normal and the Univer- sity of Arizona, all of which promised food for discussion.
 The land bill prohibition, the good roads bill. the racing com mission bill, all were damned up behind the appropriations bill The banking code was hOpelessly sidetracked.
 Even if the last named could be passed out of the committee it would be in such a ragged condition with much of it yet to to be gone over that it would hardly be fit to be seen in the senate.
 It was absolutely certain last night that there would be an extra session and it was stated on apparently good authority that the legislature would be recon yened next Monday.
 It was rumored about the capi- tol yesterday that the governor had stated that there would be no extra session but that q gen eral appropriation bill would be initiated. But that would avail nothing for the states needs, since such bill could not be submitted to the people before November of 1916.
