HARRY THAW ASKS
FOR JURY TRIAL
Hopes To Prove His Sanity
By Many Ex-
perts.

New York, April 19.-Harry X.
Thaw's application for a jury trial to
determine whether he is sane and
consequently to be freed was set for
argument before Supreme Court JUS
tice Hendrix today. II was expected
that John B. Stanchfield would pre-
sent the main contentious in Thaw's
behalf and that the State would be
represented by Frank Cook, Deputy
Attorney General.
Thaw's counsel assert that conflict
ing conclusions have resulted from
the various insuiries which have
been made in the question of his san
ity and that a jury trial is necessary
to a definite decision. Heretofore
the hearings of Thaw's sanity have
been held without a jury.
In preparations for the hearing be-
fore jury which Thaw hopes for ar
rangements have been made to cal!

these witnesses. 1t was understood,
are members of commission appoint
ed by the Federal Court in New
Hampshire. which recommended
that Thaw be released on bail in
that State. HW
Regardless of whether jury trial
is granted. Judge Hendrix was ex-
pected to set the date for a hearing
on the habeas corpus writ obtained
by Thaw. which gives him the right
to make an attempt to prove his san
ity in court This proceeding is in
dependent of Thaw's appeal from a
recent decision Of the appellate d.
vision ordering his return to Mattea-
wan Asylum. 4

Leo NJ. Frank Loses Before The Su.
preme Court.

Washington, April 19.-Leo M.
Frank. the Brooklyn man under
death sentence for the murder of
Mary Phaegan. an Atlanta factory
girl. lost another step in his fight
for life in the supreme court of the
United States today.
In decision. to which Justices
Holmes and Hughes dissented. the
court dismissed Franks appeal from
the federal court of Georgia. which
refused to release him on q writ of
habeas corpus.
Frank contended that alleged
mob violence" at the trial and the
fact that he was sent from the court
room when the jury returned its
verdict had removed him from the
jurisdiction OF the courts of Geor-
gia.
The majority opinion of the SUI
preme court today rejected all those
contentious and declared Frank had
enjoyed all his legal rights in the
Georgia courts.
Seemingly no other avenue of es-
cape from the death penalty is open
to Frank through the courts. The
state pardon officials might relieve
him.

Deane left his office at noon to-
day to go to lunch. He did not re.

These are the arguments which
will be brought forward to justify a
higher tariff and Republican ad-
ministration. The Republicans have
complete confidence that their argu-
ment will be popular. The Demo
Gratis, II they wanted to, could beat
the Republicans to the tariff issue by
adopting. when the next Congress
meets in December, tariff commits
sion. and empowering the commission
to adjust the tariff to meet the emer-
gency conditions which have been
caused by the war. But II Is entire
ly safe to say the Democrats will not
do this.
The Republicans will lay much en-
phasis upon the fact that at a time
when business was suffering from
many ills, deserved and undeserved,
the Democratic party exhibited. in
word and in fact, steady unfriend-
illness to it.
Democrats of good judgment. when
they feel at liberty to talk candid
ly, admit that II the election were to
be held today. and IL the Republican
candidate were at all acceptable,
Wilson would probably not carry any
Northern State. But they go on to
say that Wilson's position is likely to
grow stronger. They say that it is
the Democratic Congress, rather than
Wilson. which brought discredit on
the party and that with Congress GU:
of the way Wilson. standing alone, is
certainly likely to make fewer mis-
takes and may even affirmatively
make progress before the country.
They argue that the mere fact OF
keeping the country at peace and out
of trouble month after month will
give him accumulative strength.
This presumption is founded on a
fallacy with regard to. popular psy-
chology. Speaking of popularity alone
as distinct from merit, keeping the
country out OF war cannot be regard |,
ed as a very exciting virtue. Any
President can keep his country out of ,
war II he makes up his mind to. |
What takes skill is to keep a country /
out Of war and at the same time /
a firm and vigorous foreign
policy. II is the exhibition of firm
nsistence of American rights and of
other countries to res
,ect those rights that appeals to a
,oter.
Is Wilson likely to show this trait?
Based on past performances. 1t is no +,
Injustice to President Wilson and his
Secretary of State to say that they
