Thaw Denied Examination.

New York, Jan. 27.-Thaw today,
denied a new examination of sanity,
lost his famous "card -up-his sleeve
point which he hoped would win his
freedom.
; Immediately after Supreme Justice
Davis denied the plea that Thaw be
sent to Bellevue hospital for mental
examination, Thaw pleaded not guilty
to a charge of conspiracy in connec-
ton with his escape from Matteawan.
Judge Davis then set Thaw's trial for
February 90 and committed him to
the Tombs pending the hearing of the
case. This is small victory fol
Thaw, as he desired to be held in the
Tombs rather than go to Matteawan
pending trial
The trial will be conducted before
Justice Weeks of the criminal branch
of the supreme court. Thaw was
much elated by the fact that Jerome
had been removed as his special prose
cutor by the attorney general of New
York state.

To Clean Up State.

Sacramento, Jan. 27.-Assemblyman
Wishard today introduced a cleanup
bill in an effort to make the state as
clean as possible during the exposi-
tion. 1t prohibits scattering glass and
other material injurious to vehicles
or animals on public highways.
The much discussed saloon regula-
,tion bill of the Grape Growers As
.sociation made its appearance today,
Assemblyman Bruck introducing the
measure. 1t is drastic in its provis-
ions, and Bruck himself says the bill
will be largely amended before it
leaves the committee. 1t places liquor
licensing in the hands of state ex-
else board of three men, appointed by
the governor. There are to be eight
districts in the state, each with
board of three with the duty of en-
forcing the law and securing evidence
against violators thereof. Municipal
tiles are without control over licenses,
ecxept that they may increase the
stringency of the regulations or abol-
ish saloons altogether.

Vessel in Trouble.

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-Picking
her way slowly in fog and darkness
near Half Moon bay early today, the
Union liner Mariana, twenty-five days
out of Sydney, struck reef off Point
Montara and saved in her side. After
hanging on the rocks a few minutes
the ship managed to get off and made
her way slowly toward the Golden
Gate.
Before reaching quarantine she list
ed so badly it was feared she would
sink before reaching dock. Tugs came
alongside and accompanied the big
liner. Both tanks were filled with
water and the armor plates were
sprung. The hold was half full when
she finally docked. The fact that she
was going slow when she struck was
all that saved her from going to the
bottom with 1856 passenger and crew
and a valuable cargo.

New York, Jan. 26.-John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr., today made a dramatic
plea for his fathers right to a place
in the sun.
"There was a percentage of rs
deaths in a hundred from cerebro-
spinal menengitis," he said, "when the
Institute for Medical Research took
up the study of the disease. The dis
covery of a cure reduced this to an
average of 25 per cent in the 600
cases that were treated. Isn't it fair
to say that there were 300 lives saved
that otherwise would have been lost g?
Later the cure was turned over for
the general use of the public.
"My father thought he was max
ing worthy contribution to the well
fare of the world at large" =
The young millionaire's voice trem-
bled as he made this statement in
reply to question put by Chairman
Walsh of the federal industrial com
mission, before which Rockefeller was
again witness throughout the day
So quiet was it in the board of es-
innate chamber in city hall that one
could hear the ticking of watch
The big crowd bent forward as the
witness in earnest tones continued tt
outline the motives which inspired his
father to establish the great founda
tions of wealth which were under at
tack.
"What is the total amount to date
of your fathers benefactions ?" asked
Chairman Walsh.
Fathers philanthropies have eX
tended over a period since his earl,
boyhood," said young Rockefeller. "N'
record has been kept of them. Blu
if l might hazard guess, they woult
approximate quarter of billion o
dollars"

IMPERIAL BASEBALL
TEAM HAS DISBANDED

Because four players on the Impe-
rial baseball team refused to play
and because the promoters of that
team were unable to secure other
players except at prohibitive figure,
the Imperial baseball team has dis
banded, according to William Dono-
van, president of the team.
Two of the men-Maggert, center
fielder, and Brooks, catcher-had sew
cred their connection with the team
without reason, stating, he said, that
they wanted to rest up, Arbogast
having been unable to play because
of an injured finger and Middleton
having been confined because of i'll
ness. Tanning, he declared, had sig
nified his intention of refusing to
pitch during the remainder of the
season because of the fact that his
arm was not in condition.
According to Mr.. Donovan, an at
tempt had been made in Los Angeles
to secure the services of players to
fill the vacancies caused by the resig-
nation and inability of the four who
declined to appear on the field, but
the attempt failed.
"They wanted too much," was the
way the president of the team sum-
med up the matter. Reports received
here late this afternoon state that with
the exception of two men all of the
players who comprised the Imperial
team have left for the coast
A meeting has been called at I'm
perial tonight by Sid Atkins of Ca
lexico, but what was expected to be
accomplished Mr.. Donovan was un
able to say.
The season will be finished with Ell
Centro, Calexico and Brawley in the
league, according to local baseball
promoters, who state that the dis
banding of the Imperial team will
serve only to disarrange the sched-
ule.

MA YOR DOES NOT
FAVOR COUNTY DIVISION

That county division at this time
would be a mistake; that it would
prove burdensome to the new county
as well as the old, and that, aside
from the few offices Brawley would
secure, there would be no other bene-
fits to be derived, was the way
Mayor A. w. Swanson summed up
the county division problem this
morning after trip to Brawley les
terday.
"Brawley is circulating petitions for
county DIVISION" declared the mayor,
"and citizens throughout the North
End are determined and in earnest.
If Brawley succeeds in splitting I'm
perial county, they will make a seri
Gus mistake, for the reason that Cali
patria, with its influence and finan
cial backing, undoubtedly will have
a voice in the matter, and, in my
opinion, will be the county seat of the
proposed North End division, should
it be effected"
Brawley's plan, according to Mayor
Swanson, is to annex all the terri
tory in the county from a point five
miles north of Ell Centre, together
with Palo Verde and oCachella val
leys. Already suitable names are be-
ing considered, Alamo and Brawley
being those most generally favored.
The petitions being circulated, he
declared, were being widely signed in
the town of Brawley, no attempt hav-
ing yet been made to secure sigma
lures from ranchers in the outlying
districts.
"The city hall at Brawley would
easily accommodate the new county
Offices" said Mr.. Swanson, "as the
city building has large court room
and library that could be subdivided
into smaller Offices

PHILLIPS CHILDREN
SECURE HOMES

Two of the children of E. J. Phil
lips, who is serving term in San
Quentin, already have secured homes
and, according to Probation Officer
Swanson, the third probably will be
adopted by Brawley family within
a short time. Raymond, aged Is, the
oldest of the children, is being cared
for by ]. w. Hart, Brawley rancher,
and Florence, aged 13, has been taken
into the home of ]. w. Finley of
Brawley. Charles, aged 8, at present

Brawley until suitable home has
been secured for him.

Praises for His Father

He enumerated several of the larger
items in this staggering total. To

600 has been given; to the General
Education Board, $34,OOO,O0O; to the
Institute for Medical Research, $40,
900. 900; to the University of Chicago,
$34, 100000.
ado you Think" asked Walsh, "that
there has been move public service
through these foundations than there
would have been if Mr.. Rockefeller
had given these sums to the develop
ment of the industries in which he has
interests"
"My father" was the reply, be
lieves that one of the best forms OF
investment is in the building up OF
the productive industries; but that at
the same time there are other results
which can best be accomplished by
giving sums to educational and SINH
lar institutions"
"But if the money had been giver
in increased wages to workingmen and
in improving the conditions of labor
in the industries in which he has made
his profts?" urged Walsh.
"My father CARED on hs philan
thropies," said the son, cong before
he established these foundations. But
as his desire and hi ability to enlarg'
his contributions to education and hu
manity at large grew, he felt it would
be desirable to crystalline in these in
stitutions the several activities he haC
been carrying on himself. Thus th'
General Education Board was found
ed. His desire and purpose was t.
hiring into council with him for dis
tributing the funds as broad and rep
lresentative a group to consider tn
questions as might be brought to
