STATE ID KNOW WHY
 THAW LEFT HARVARD
Files Application for Commission mission to Interview Dr. Eliot

New York, June 25-Interest in the proceedings to ascertain whether Harry K. Thaw is now sane or insane was divided today between the taking of evidence in court here and the ap- plication by counsel for the state for the appointment of a commission to learn from Dr. Charles W. Elliot, president-emeritus of Harvard, why Thaw left that institution in 1892 without completing his course
 The deputy attorney general said he would endeavor to read to the jury the testimony given by Thaw's mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, at the second murder trial to which Mir. Cook referred in his opening as the insanity presented in court in twenty years.
 Old-Time Reunion.
 The court room today before the days proceeding started resembled the scene of an old-time reunion. Witnes- ses from various parts of New Eng land waiting to be called in Thaws s behalf, exchanged greetings. and many brought their wives with tnem.. Mrs. Mary Copley Tinaw, Harry's mother, shook ands with some of them and took her seat in the center of such group.
 Today is the ninth anniversary of the murder of Stanford White. for which Thaw was acquitted on the grounds of insanity after one of the most elaborate. insanity defenses ever presented in the history of the state. Before calling witnesses, the states attorney read to the jury testimony from the record of one, of the previ- ous Thaw proceedings bearing upon Thaw's sanity. This was the cross-ex- animation of Dr. William White. an alienist, the record of whose direct examination, which was in favor of Thaw was put in evidence yesterday.
 Dr. Guillett First Witness.
 Dr. Noel E. Guillett of Manchester, N. H., who lived next door to Thaw in that city, was the first witness to- day. He said he had seen much of Thaw and found him rational. One of the things, he had discussed with him was corporal punishment for chill dren, he said, and he thought that Thaw had intelligent ideas on the sub- ject.
 T came here" said Dr. Guillett, ito prove that we in New Hampshire think Thaw sane.',
 Regards Thaw Sane.
 Walter M Lang, a real estate agent Tn Manchester, said he had been to football games with .Thaw and had ,een automobiling with him. He re- yarded him as sane. -
 Lang was followed by his wife, who said that she had been impressed by rhaw's wonderful knowledge of our city.''
 Testify for Thaw.
 Eugene F. Mute, Thaw's federal cus- todian in New Hampshire, and Major Robert F. Johnston, who said he had met Thaw at various social affairs, tes tiied as to their entire belief in Thaw's sanity.
 Announcement was made by Mir Cook just before recess that the state proposed to stage in the court room the moving pictures which Thaw posed for during his sojourn in Canada and New Ham pshirc

 IN THE ILLUSTRATIONS
Through EfortC of Postmaster De-
 laney Credit System Is Inanx- s., urated in This City.

After careful study of the con- dftions existing in the city, regarding the sub-station business which has not,according to some been satisfac- tory on account of the inability at times in certain sections of the city to obtain the service such as should be expected from these places, Post master William F. Delaney, has suc- ceeded in obtaining from the govern ment permission to establish a credit system with the proprietors of places where these stations are located by which 1t is expected that satisfac- tory solution of the difficulties will be arrived at.
 In the past 1t has been customary for the proprietor to use his own money when purchasing stamps. Tn many cases come of the dealers have at times found it impossible to have sufficient cash to permit them to pur- chase large amount of stamps to meet the demands, which would from time to time he heavier than others. Under the new system a dealer will granted credit up to the amount e1- s1o0 in accordance with the amount of business his place calls for. In this way 1t is hoped to remedy the conditions and 1t will also prove much m ore satisfactory for the dealers.
 Another matter that his been taken care of by Postmaster Delaney, is the receiving of permission from the post office authorities, authorizing him to issue bids for the supplying of spring water at the ofIice during the sunni mer months.

The Bonnie Conductor Lassie.

Edinburgh, Scotland, has two dozen
women street car conductors who are
a thorough success in the new line OF
work. Other tramways are already
recruiting girls and training them to
be conductors. It is said that girls
working in the English cartridge fac
tories are so fired with patriotism
that some of them work thirty hours
in stretch without any rest. Miss
Elizabeth Lister has been appointed a
stationmaster in South Wales, the first
woman to act in that capacity. In
the north of England and in Scotland
and Wales the men workers are being
supplanted in the fields by women,
who can be seen following the bar
row or digging and hoeing.
