THAW FAILS TO GET
SANITY EVIDENCE IN
Court Rules Out All Attempts to
Prove Mental Condition.
State Closes Case.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Harry x.
Thaw's attempt to get evidence con-
cerning his sanity into the record OF
his trial for conspiracy to escape from
Matteawan failed today.
Justice Page ruled out all testimony
of this character except just enough
to show that Thaw had the mental
capacity to enter in a conspiracy with
his five co-defendants to escape. In his
ruling Justice Page sasserted that the
injection of testimons designed to
prove the sanity of Thaw was i'm
proper in this case. which was purely

existence Of an Illegal conspiracy to
effect the escape of Thaw-
The state brought its case to close
this forenoon and tho defense immedi-
ately made motions to dismiss the In
dicument on tho ground that the state
had failed to prove its contentious. The
motions were all denied.
Later q motion was made by tho de-
Tense in behalf of Michael OKeefe on
the ground that no evidence had been
adduced to connect him with the al
legged crime. Justice Page granted the
motion and discharged O'Keefe.

CAPTAIN OF U. S. SHIP TELLS
OF VAIN PROTEST TO GERMANS

ship was to be sent to the bottom, I,
my wife and two boys and the crew
made for the German cruiser in our
boats. We were taken aboard and
shown every courtesy throughout the
remainder of the voyage.
For two weeks before making this
port the German ship molested no
ships of any kind, and always avoided
them. not wishing to give the English
cruisers any wind of her intentions.
She proceeded slowly up the coast, all
lights that were not out being care
fully shaded.
Last night while nearing the capes
the wireless apparatus on board the
Eitel informed us that there were
four English warships in our i'm
mediate vicinity. two of which seemed
very close.
However. we eluded them and made
this port in safety"

Capt Kiehne's wife stated she and
the children were frightened when
overtaken by the German cruiser.

SPEEDY OIL LEASE
DECISION IS URGED

Quick action was urged upon Secre-
tary Lane this morning in the settle
ment Of the question as to whether tho
Usage oil lands should be released
to the present holder. or to the num-
erous smaller companies subleasinR

tions of statements made during tho
past three days. some favoring the

method while other oil operators want
ed the lands divided up So es TO provide
competition. .
Secretary Lane stated that he real
lied the necessity of a quick decision.
and declared the matter would be set

Secretary Lane pressed tho hearings

David J. Kelly Of the Manhattan OH

settled as soon as possible.
Sees LOSS to Indians.
He declared that by reason OF tn.
difficulties surrounding the present de-
velopment OF the lands the indiana
were losing heavily.
He said the production of oil had
dropped from 1.143.o00 barrels in
March, 1914, to 5oU,O0O Darrels IN lie
cember, 1914. He advocated re-leas
ing the tract under the present system
for fifteen years.
William Dial, an fnternarried mem
Der of the Usage tribe, said that he
was prepared to secure financial back
ing for a plan to take over the Foster
lease and operate under it. guarantee
ing the Indians one-third of the profits
on all oil taken out.

Crepe de Chine

Nothinp-not the soft silks

nor the heavy, lustrous satins
of France: nothing more al
Turing in the way OF silk has

Crepe de chine is now being
used almost exclusively for
underwear-probably because
Of its durability, for if care is
taken in the washing its at
traction is as great after IT is
laundered as before.
And because of its charm, it
has come to take the place,
with many. of the fine French
lingerie, which was at one time
thought to be superior to any
thing else of its kind.
In the columns of The Star

WHEAT CARGO OF THE FRYE
NOT CONTRABAND, IS CLAIMED

The cargo Of wheat carried by the
American ship William p. Frye. sunk on
the high seas by tho German cruiser
Prinz Eitel Friedrich. was not contra
band, according to statements made to
the Treasury Department by the own
er, M. H. Houser of Portland, Ore. The
cargo was shipped at Portland and con-
signed to the owners at Queenstown. and
therefore not subject to the interpreta-
ton that 1t was destined for the use of
belligerents in the field, which would
have constituted II contraband Of war.
This statement Of the owners was an
nounced to the press this morning by As
sistant Secretary Andrew ]. Peters OF the
Treasury Department, in charge of Gus
toms, who is directing the investigation
undertaken by Collector Hamilton, into
the circumstances of the sinking of the
Frye. and the status of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich. Collector Hamilton confirms
the statements Of the owners regarding
the character Of the cargo Of the schooner
Frye and its destination and as to its
being consigned to the order Of the own
ers.
Hamilton to Direct Examination.
Collector Hamilton will be in charge
Of the examination. Passengers taken
from boats sunk by the German cruiser
in her sea raids are being landed this
morning. Collector Hamilton reports.
None of the crews taken from the ship
sunk have SO far been released.
Should the action of the German
cruiser in sinking the Frye be finally
adjudged a contravention Of interna-
tional law, the laws Of the United
States, an act of war or an act of
piracy. it is not to be expected that the
United States will proceed directly
against the German cruiser or her of
hcers. The German government, 1t is
most probable. would be called upon
for an accounting; and the reckoning
be made between governments. It

said, to seize either the warship or to

Interpreting neutrality law and inter-
national practice. the German cruiser
would have twenty-four hours from the
time she anchored in which to lift
application to and survey by United
States authorities, might be reasonably
extended to permit coaling, provision
ing and necessary repairs. Such coal
ing, provisioning or repairing should
not exceed what should be sufficient

A British attack yesterday resulted in
the capture of $500 meters (nearly
one and one-half miles) of trenches
before Neuve Chapelle (E1anders)
and Of the village itself. It pro-
gressed in the direction Of Aubers as
far as Pietre Mill and in a south
easterly direction as far as the
northern border Of Bois du Dubiez;
that is to say. a distance of about
two kilometers beyond Neuve Cha
pelle. The German artillery fired
only few shots.
AS regards the rest Of the front, there
is nothing to add to yesterday even
ing's communication.

An English aviator has thrown bombs
on the town of Menin, in West Flan-
ders. Only one of his missiles ex-
ploded. and this killed seven and
wounded ten Belgians
The British yesterday attacked the
German positions near Neuve Cha
pelle. At some points they entered
the village. The fighting here still
Givenchy has been repulsed.
In the Champagne district the French
have delivered two attacks against
the positions in the forest of Souain
which they lost to US the day before
yesterday. Both these attacks were
repulsed, and the losses Of the en-
envy were heavy.
In the Vosges the conflict for the pos
session of the Reich Achkenkopf was
resumed yesterday.
To the west of Serje. to the northeast
of Augustowo we took 500 Russian
prisoners and captured three guns
and two machine guns.
A fresh Russian attempt to break
through the German lines to the
south OF Augustowo resulted in the
annihilation of the Russian forces
used in this endeavor
In an engagement to the northwest of
Ostrolenka the Germans were victo-
rious: six Russian officers and 900
soldiers were taken prisoners, while
eight machine guns were captured. !.
The German attacks to the north and
to the northwest of Przasnysz have
made further progress. -
In the fighting to the northwest of No

ers have been made by US.
The following supplementary state
ment has been issued at the war Of
fee:
With the battle Of Wednesday and
those of the last few days the winter
battle in Champagne has come to an
end, and no future events can change
anything in the situation.
The battle began, as reported, the 17th
of February. at the order of the
French general staff to break
through at any cost, so as to
bring relief to the hard-pressej
Russians in the Mazurian lake re-
gion. This shows that the intention
of the enemy Of breaking through
and the order of the general staff
were not able to be carried out, and
they have obtained only the smallest
advances. which are not worthy of
mention.
We have taken more than 2.540 wound
ed prisoners, including So officers.
Naturally, our losses were heavy.
but such sacrifices were not in vain.
