THAW FACES JURY
For the Third Time in His Long
Fight for Freedom.
Charged With Five Others With
Conspiracy for His Escape.

New York March S.-Halry *.
Thaw's third jury trial in his nine
years fight for freedom, following the
murder of Stanford White, began to-
day.
Rapid progress was made upon the
opening of the trial today toward Sc
curing a jury and testimony may be-
gin late this afternoon.
Thaw and five men charged with a
conspiracy to effect his escape from
Matteawan asylum on August 17,1913,
faced Justice Page in the supreme
court, criminal branch. A dozen law
yers defending them included some of
New Yorks most brilliant legal tai
ent.
Thaw appeared to welcome his trial
Confidence in his ultimate freedom
radiated in his smiles and general
nattily, in dark blue serge suit and
light blue tie.
His large dark eyes flashed their in
terest in the preliminary legal jockey
ing in sitting out a jury. He also took
an active part in his defense, advising
his counsel regarding several jurors
In rapt attention Thaw's mother,
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw; brother
Josiah, and sister, Mrs George l..
Carnegie, watched the proceedings.
Except for the ''elect," few specta-
tors of the crowd storming the court
room gained the coveted seats
Thaw's defense was practically de
clared today. 1t will be contended
that aiding a lunatic to escape is not
a crime.
The prosecution plans to show that
Thaw was mentally capable of con-
spring, even though legally insane

APPROPRIATION DEADLOCK
MAY BE OF SOLID CONCRETE
All Votes on Agreement Have Resulted
III Open Disagreement
Legislature Is Looking for Dismissal
of Present Committee.
IN HOPE OF COMPROMISE
But Neither Side Appears Willing to
Grant Advantages
State Educational Budget Is Holding
Up All Attempts.

Several ballots taken by the con-
ference committee on building items
in the state educational budget this
morning showed complete disagree
ment between the two delegations
representing the house and senate
big appropriation bills. Today an eff
fort to determine the lineup in the
conference was made by ballotlnS
upon the items for the administration
building at the Kansas university, the
physics building at the State Agricul-
tural college. the hospital building at
the state medical school at Rosedale
and a power building at Lawrence.
In no instance did the vote show any
sentative Tannahin voted with the
three senators on one or two of the
propositions. The remaining four
members of the house stood pat for
the house bill.
While members of the conference
at noon insisted that they expected to
return to work at , o'clock In the hope
of finding some basis of agreement on
the compromise which must be eff
fected before Kansas will have any
appropriation for its big educational
and charitable institutions, it was
known that the deadlock remained
unbroken up to that hour. Every bal
lot taken during the Monday morning
session of the joint committee showed
representatives of the two houses
standing practically where they did
when they entered the conference.
The afternoon sessions of the two
members in a state of expectancy that
their conference committees would re-
turn at any time with announcement
of their inability to agree.

ROW ON IN GREECE
King and Advisers Cannot De-
eide on War Situation.
Belief That She Will Join With
Allies Against Kaiser.

Rome. March Special dispatches
to Italian newspapers from Athens de-
scribe the situation in Greece as grave.
Some of the correspondents express
the belief that the present dead1 Jck
between King Constantine and many
of mis- advisers regarding the country s
intervention in the war, is the result
of antagonism which had arisen be
tween the ruler and Eleutherios Ven
fze1os, premier in the cabinet which
resigned Saturday, after its declara
ton in favor of joining the allies, was
frowned upon by the king.
Other correspondents believe the
Intervention of Greece on the side of
the allies already has been agreed
upon and that the crisis which now
is apparent is artificial having been
arranged to make it easier for King
Constantine to decide against Ger
many to which he has felt under some
obligation for financial and political
reasons. The influence of Germany
IS supposed to have been responsible,
in 4 considerable measure, for
Greece's obtaining possession of ka-
vala and Saloniki on the Aegean sea
al the end f the Balkan war.

of the British steamer Naneric, which
docked here today after a 65 days
voyage from Calcutta. Captain Tul-
lOch, who was placed in command of
the Naneric, after the steamer Ty-
meric had been captured by the Ger
man cruiser Emden and sunk in the
Indian ocean last December, said the
Naneric had reached the eastern en-
trance of the canal about February
1 but that upon the arrival of the yes
sci it had not been allowed to proceed
because of the battle between the al
lies and the Turks near Ismalia.
THE Turks said Captain TullOch,
"attempted to cross the canal, led by
German officers, but were repulsed by
the allies who directed upon them the
fire not only of the field pieces but
big guns of several warships. Both
sides of the canal were heaped with
dead and many victims rolled into the
water The loss of life was very great
and the Turks appeared to be demor-
allied.
