.THAW CRILLED ABOUT
FAMOUS MURDER CASE
Questioned About Sanity at
Time Says Jury Gave Him
Benefit Of Doubt.

New York. July 10.-9his was the sec-
ond day of Harry K. Thaw's testimony
as a witness for the state in his sanity
trial. His examination had proceeded
as far as the campaign Of publicity to
gain public opinion in his fight for
freedom which Thaw conducted while
in New Hampshire.
Word has been received here that a
writ calling upon Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw to appear in court here and ex-
plain why she did not respond to q
subpoena as q witness, had been served
upon her at ~Chateaugeay lake, and that
q physician would examine her today
capable OF making the journey to New
York.
Mr. Cook began his questioning by
asking Thaw whether he believed him
self to have been insane at the time
he killed Stanford White.
THAT" a the witness, "is q ques-
ton that cannot be answered by n
word. The question came up and the
Jury gave me the benefit OF the doubt.
In effect they evidently believed there
might have been a chance that my rea-
son was not all that it should be-"
Thaw gave correctly the date Of the
murder. He did not remember just
what he did all that day, but said that
he visited a number of steamship Of
fees and that he had carried a revolt
yer with him since that morning. He
said he had been informed that Monk"
Eastman, a New York rang leader,
was after him. He did not believe the
report, but thought he should be pre-
pared to protect himself.

N PEACE MAKES WAR
INEVITABLE, HE THINKS

Chicago. July 10-"Armed peace" has
proved itself inevitable war, DR.. J.. A.
Macdonald, editor OF the Toronto. Can.
Globe. told delegates attending the
worlds Christian Endeavor convention
here today n an address on "Christian-
ity. h War and the Social Problem"
Not again in this generation nor
even again in this century shall the
world deceive itself with the self con-
tradtcticn called armed peace.,"
DR.. Macdonald said that fallacy at
last has had its day."
DR.. Macdonald appealed for a wide
endeavor to make dominant in world
politics "the undisproved socialism Of
Jesus "as q Of preventing wars"
The socialism Of jesus the speak
er said. stands against the selfish in
dividualism that says every man for
himself and the devil take the hind
most
when war bids defiance to interna-
tional law n makes treaties only
scraps Of paper n oes violence t
al the instincts Of humanity, the So
cialism Of Jesus still stands. I say
unto you. love your enemies.'"
Early hours OF the convention today
were given over to sectional and divis-
1onaf meetings and dencfninatf6nal
meetings were held In the afternoon.

Two u-BOATS weekly
IS GERMANY'S OUTPUT
Fast Tightening Under Water
Hold on Britain-shipping
Losses Heavy.

Berlin. (via The Hague), July TO-
Germany's submarine ring around the
British isles Is rapidly growing tighter.
Every week the admiralty IS launching
two monster U boats with sufficient
power and supplies to cross the Allan
tic.
Reliable reports to Admiral Won Tir-
pitt indicate that the high toll taken
by the submarines in the last fort.
night Is striking terror to the hearts
of English ship wners. Mo- more than
than half the vessels destroyed by Ger
man submarines is reported in the
English press. According to careful
estimates made here, the loss to Eng
lish shipping, in the last two months
has averaged 1 900 900 a week. And
the German newspapers print longer
lists each week Of the submersible VIC
Tins under the headline:
'"Toll Of our tireless u boats"
The public realizes that many Of
these vessels are only small fishing
smacks OF no great value. But by wip-
ing out these fishing craft the subma-
rine crews are gradually removing
England's best defense against SUBJ
marine attacks. Not only have the
fishermen given warning OF the
presence OF U boats. but in at least n
Instance, that Of the U-14, they have
rammed n sunk a submarine.

SOUTH DAKOTA

The strength OF q hemlock stick .
foot square that had been in water for
almost 40 years vas recently tested in
the 600, 000-pound testing machine at
Rensselaer, polytechnic institute at
Troy, N. Y. The timber, which was 10
1eet, nine inches long. had formed part
Of one Of the piers Of the Congress
street bridge at Troy. When the pier
broke down after the floor in the spring
Of 1913, the timber was turned over to
one Of the material testing laboratories
Of the institute. It was kept in the
open air for three months, and then
placed in a dry room for a little more
than nine months. When placed in the
testing machine. the column failed UNI
der a load Of $4,000 pounds; that il.
the long submerged wood showed an
ultimate strength OF $50 pounds to
the square inch. In the opinion OF Pro-
lessor T. r. Lawson, who conducted
the test the remarkable strength Of this
piece of hemlock seems to show that
being immersed in water for a long
time does not decrease the column
strength OF timber that is subsequently
permitted to dry out.

GOVERNMENT CAN ASK
DAMAGES FOR FRAUDS
IN HOMESTEAD CASES
New Relief Method Upheld
Where Prosecutions Barred
By Limitation.

Sioux Falls. s. d, July 9.-An opin-
Ion just fled by Judge Elliott, Of the
federal court, in this city will be OF
special importance in relation to home
stead frauds on which the time limit
has expired for prosecutions. This de-
cision upholds the governments right
TO collect monetary damage in such
cases.
The decision is in favor of the United
states and against Carl Pitan. a prom
:nent resident OF Lyman county, who
wa charged with conspiracy in the al
!eged fraudulent entry OF homestead
property. Pitan and a woman, Bertha,
Henry, were alleged in the complaint
TO nave c%onspired about May 10, 1902,
% make a fraudulent homestead entry.
The defendant. Bertha Henry. admitted
agreement with Pitan to convey the
land to him when he obtained title.
After the patent was secured the
woman conveyed the property to Pitan,
who Is a large and owner in Lyman
county.
United States Attorney Stewart in
stituted an action for damages, due to
the land having been obtained through
fraud by Pitan and Bertha Henry. This
course was necessary because more
than six years had elapsed and the
United States was barred by the stat
uso u limitations from rlnGln &C
ton to cancel the patent. Through his
attorney. John g. Bartles, Pitan de-
INJURED to the complaint. Then attor-
neys for both sides submitted briefs
to Judge Elliott.
The contention of the defense was
that more than six years having
elapsed. the statute of limitation
barred any action on the part of the
government. 1t was contended by
United States Attorney Stewart that
an action at law was not barred and
that the defendants should be made
to answer In damages for fraud on
the government.
Judge Elliott. in his decision just
rendered, upholds the right of the
United States tt bring such actions.
h decision opens up the avenue for
many similar suits.

Is EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION

Hedf1eld, s.. D., July Sit Is claimed
bv authorities that the United States
regular army, famed for sanitary
measures. has few more efficient di-
visions than the sanitary unit Of the
South Dakota National guard. The
local organization demonstrated SO
much merit at the joint maneuvers in
Sparta. Wis.,. last summer that the fed
eral inspector placed it at the head Of
all similar units in Wisconsin, Me-
braska, Indiana, Minnesota, North Da-
kota and Soufh sDhkota. The South
Dakota sanitary unit is exercising its
usual precautions at III state encamp-
ment, now in progress here, and the
camp certainly is a model along sani-
tary lines. The var strength of the
regimental sanitary troop is one major,
three captains and l~ieutenants and "a
enlisted men.
Maj. w. s. Bentley. Of Rapid City
with IL years experience as a medical
officer In the South Dakota guard, is
in charge. The other officers are: Capt.

students, including q registered phar-
macist, Sergeant ]. p. Murphy; Serg-
