JURY TRIAL over
THAW'S SANITY
New York Supreme Court Justice
Grants Application On
Habeas Corpus Writ.

New York, April 23.--The ques-
ton of the sanity of Harry X. Thaw
will be determined by a jury. Su-
preme Court Justice Hendrick, in a
decision handed down to-day. granted
the application for a trial made by
Thaw's attorney made on a writ of
habeas corpus.
Tbaw was in court when Justice
Hendrick announced his opinion.
His face at once lighted up with
pleasure. His attorneys, friends and
others in the court room rushed to
congratulate him and he was kept
busy for nearly half an hour shak-
ing hands before he was taken back
to The Tombs.
ut will be good news to my moth
er he told newspaper men; that's all
] want to say for publication"
The moot question which Justice
Hendrick had to decide was whether
the court had power to grant a jury
trial. He held after a study of the
authorities, that he did have such
power and has decided to exercise it.
He pointed out in the decision that
the Jury was called to aid the court
by their advice and that the finding
of the jury would not be binding, if
the court was satisfied that it was
not in accordance with the evidence
and with justice.
The court, he said, could disregard
the jurys verdict and render his own
decision.
Justice Hendrick set the date of
the trial for May II.
During the discussion of the date
of Hendrick in his opinion after
quoting authorities and precedents,
that in this State there is ample
precedent for the impaneling of a
juryto aid in trying the issue of fact
raised upon the traverse to the re-
turn in habeas corpus proceed
ing.
In view of the different conclusions
reached in the various judicial pro-
ceedings heretofore, l think the time
has come when the question of
Thaw's sanity should be determined
by the court with the aid of jury
of twelve men, who are not lawyers
or doctors, but who are called to aid
the court by their advice in the de-
termination of a question of fact"
at is therefore evident" wrote
Justice the trial. Mr.. Stanshfield, of
counsel for Thaw. said he thought
The trial would last only a week. 1t
was said later that Thaw's counsel
would not call more than ten witness
es, all told, and that the State would
only put on a few, including its ex-
perts Drs. Mcdonald and Flint.

FRANK ASKS governor
TO COMMUTE SENTENCE
Atlanta Jew Seeks To Escape
Death Penalty For
Murder.

Atlanta, Ca, April 22.-Attorneys
for Leo M. Frank to-day filed a pc.
tition with Governor Slaton and the
Georgia Prison Commission, asking
that the sentence of death imposed
upon Frank for the murder of Mary
Phafan be COMMITTED to life imp vs.
tnment.
Among the grounds set forth by
Frank in his appea. for executive
clemcncy are that he is innocen.
aid that the principle evidence upon
which he was convicted was of "a
questionable and ureliable charac-
ter" His application he states, does
not undertake to set out in full tn ,
reasons for his appeal. but he asks
permission to do so at the hearing
before the Prison Commission. The
text of Franks application, which is
brief, follows in part:
ION August 26, 1913. l was con-
victed in the Superior Court of Full
ton county, of murder, and l am
now under sentence of death pro-
nounced on said verdict. l ask that
this sentence be committed to life
Imprisonment on the following
grounds:
81 am absolutely innocent of the
crime of which l was conviced. Ny
death would neither avenge it nor
punish the real perpetrator. l have
no personal knowledge of the crime
other than the facts related by me
in my statement at the trial.
1.-The main evidence on which
was conviced was of a questionable
and unreliable character. My alleg-
ed guilt has not been established be.
yond a reasonable doubt, but on the
contrary, conflict of testimony, uncer.
tainty and doubt still exist as to
every material feature of the case
made against me.
The attorneys presented copies OF
evidence of Franks trial and re-
quested the Prison Commission to
make a personal inspection of the
pencil factory where the Phagan
girl was murdered before beginning
an examination of the record.
Members of the Commission stated
that a hearing would not be given
before May 3. and it was not unlike
ly that the hearing might be defer
red until the meeting beginning the
first Monday in June.
According to the procedure in such
cases the Prison Com mission first
acts upon applications for executive
clemency and transmits it's recon-
mendations to the Governor for fl
nal action. 1t is thought probable
that the commission may not be able
to finish it's consideration of the case
before Gov. Slaton's term expires,
July 1, next, and that decision on the
application will rest with Gov. ELECT
N. E. Harris.

 SUN BATHS

PARIS, June 23.--Sun baths for the treatment of wounded soldiers are said to have greatly facilitated the healing of wounds. Monsieur d'Arson- val recently explained the system de- vised by Joseph Vallot to the Acad. emy of Sciences. The patients are sheltered from the wind, and they receive sky radiations as we'll as rays of the sun, the air being raised to a temperature of from 100 to 110 de. grees Fahrenheit. These conditions are obtained by the use of absorbing screens of canvass painted white and stretched on wooden frames. The bath Is formed by three vertical screens, six feet high and five feet wide, set at an angle of 100 degrees so as to reflect the suns rays inside the top being left open.

GOAL EXPORTERS IN ENGLAND
 / WORRY

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Eng. June 23.-This center of the coal industry in the North of England Is becoming perturbed regarding the recent order restricting exportations of coal and coke to neutral countries, and the de- lay in granting licenses, which is said to be diverting considerable business to the United States. Buyers in neu- tral countries who usually absorb sup plies here are advising their agents that they cannot stop their factories to wait for English coal, and must look elsewhere for supplies, presum. ably the United States.
 American representatives are said to be offering prompt supplies of fuel and endeavoring to secure contracts over long periods from neutral cus- toners of long standing.
 Advices from Genoa state that 60 steamers are now on voyages and chartered with coal from America to Italy, which means large slice taken off England's trade.

FURTHER PAPERS 4 I MEDICAL
 CONGRESS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.-It is | now possible to weigh a persons head without the fatal inconvenience of detaching 1t from the body, accord ing to a method announced by Dr. C. D. Spivak, of Denver to the American Medical Association here today.
 pr. Spivak described the apparatus which he has contrived by which 1t is possible to weigh different parts of the living human body. By means of a pair of scales with sliding weights made like a seesaw and by the aid fof complicated mathematical for mulae, the separate weight of any part of the body can be determined.
 In his address as chairman of the Section on Obstetrics, Gynecology and Abdominal Surgery, pr. Thomas S Cullen of Baltimore reviewed the progress of abdominal surgery in the last 25 years, pointing out that it Is now possible for any competent sur geon to open and explore the abdomen with perfect safety to the patient. He told of the wonderful advances that abdominal surgery had made in the last 25 years and showed that the death rate from abdominal operations had decreased from 25 per cent to about per cent.
 Two papers on ulcer of the stomach presented before the Section on Sur. gerry attracted general discussion. Dr. William J. Mayo of Rochester, Minn., stated that in his experience ulcer of the stomach is more frequent in men than in women and that 1t is often mis- taken for cancer. Ulcers of the stomach often cause deformities which seriously interfere with diges- tion and may be followed by cancer. The relation between ulcer and cancer of the stomach was discussed by Dr. A. J. Ochsner of Chicago, who claimed that there was increasing evidence of the infectious nature of cancer.
 Although local public health organ. ization in America is over 200 years old. 1t is still the weakest part of our defense against disease, according to Dr. J. w. Kerr, of Washington, D. C., Assistant Surgeon-General of the United States Public Health Service. In many rural districts no attempt is made at health supervision, while fin other places, the compensation is so small as to make satisfactory public health work impossible. These con ditions, Dr. Kerr said, are largely due to lack of recognition by the public of the value of full time health officers | to the community. Recent advances in Maryland, New York and Massa- chusetts providing for sanitary dis tricts and reaonably paid health off cers encourage the hope of better things in the future. In Dr. Kerr's opinion, physicians should not only | advocate public health work, but should engage in 1t to a greater degree than heretofore.
