We're the Chicago correspondents Of Mr..

an application TO Circuit Judge Heard,

corning the Guggenheims, and IL the
court was una BILE to do that to decide
the case Immediately Mr. Gregory APP

could do nothing TO prevent publication

would decide the case shortly. Judge
Heard subsequently announced that

SCIENTISTS SEEK TO MEET
NEW WAR METHODS

I Nsting the civilian engineering and in
Nentive ability as advisory to the navy,
meeting the serious situation OF our ma
,ional defence to insure peace with
honor.
4 great change IN the methods OF
warfare has already taken place. The
battleshlps have been driven from tn"
oceans by the submarine to hide IN m
land harbors. our navy seems weak IN
submarines. The submefsible warship is
gradually developing from the sub
marine-that is. an o~ceangoing cruiser
carrying guns but capable of submerg-
ing for attack and escape. Speed Is
proving the most important In war craft.
We have no high speed battleships.
Blockades Of the enemy 3 coast have be-
come impossible by the submarine. Ana
F.ngland's starvation Blockade and Ger
many's submarine blockade violate inter-
rational law as IT existed.
Aircraft have changed territorial
fare by eliminating the element Z
prise and laying open all the move
uf the enemy.
German guns have battered down the
strongest fertilization like card houses
but not SO the guns Of the Allies.
As the next important step | consider
the development Of the submersib!e
cruiser, capable when submerged TO hun
down, by superior speed. the battle
cruiser. This is largely an electrical
problem. Ii does not appear lnpDssioie,
AS the submarine torpedo is the fastest
hing ahoat.
IRE offensive powers OF aircraft mus
Ear have been limited to rsidNng ana ter
rortzing.

gineefing problem. our naval onlcers

No Doubt From First.

Also there was no doubt hat from
the moment they retired to the jury
room there was no serious disagreement
among them as to whether they should
declare Thaw sane in their opinion.
They talked over O themselves the
chief events Of Thaw's life from the
night he murdered Stanford White until
the present time.
Il think" one of the Jurors said later
to newspaper men. that Thaw has a
well. a sicknes OF n sort. don't mean
that he's insane by any means. and |
don't think he should be returned to
Matteawan. Fly sickness | merely
mean that in view OF his life history
he is not just what you and ! are. But
so far as this hearing was concerned
esDecially-and that's all We were sup
posed to consider-he certainly showed
no signs Of insanity
Justice Hendrick in his charge told
the jury. after congratuiating the jury
men on the evident interest they had
shown throughout the three weeks Of
listening to testimony. that in arriving
at a verdict they must brush aside on
the one hand all feeling OF sympathy
for Thaw, and on the other hand they
must not consider whether Thaw should
be punished. No thoughts Of the
wonderful and beautiful devotion" Of
Thaw's mother during the years Of
Thaw's fight for freedom. "A devotion
that Mr.. Stanchfeld had dwelt much
upon In the peroration Of his summa-
ton, should he entertained by them, con-
tinued Justice Hendrlck.
He reminded them of the fact that
they were an advisory body 20! laNmen.
Just as ! am "A layman," who had been
brought in TO help the supreme Cour,
Of the state decide whether Thsw IL
now sane. He. the court. might reject
their advice II he wanted TO. he reminded
the jurymen. but hc assured them that
what they might decide would be given
weight by him IN reaching his decision.
And first OF all, gentlemen" continued
Justice Hendrick. you must start out
In your deliberations with the assump-
ton that this relator was insane when
the murder was committed. and further.
that he had not been cured when III was
last remanded after q habeas corpus
proceeding.
But there Is ore question which YOU
and ] under our oaths must consider
l. he sane nov? IL YOU assume all the
testimony to b" true, hat he was a de
generate and so forth, YOU must r.mem-
Der YOU are not here to punish him.
"Thaw was In Mattegwan not as a
convict. He was committed to Mattea-
wan because II had been decided that ne
was insane when he murdercd-or rather
when he kllled-Stanford White and
when he was committed to Ma;tcawan.
