Says Thau Is
aParanoiac
Alienist, However, Declared There
Is Little in His Actions to
Suggest Disease.

New York, July 12.-Dr Austin
Flint, alienist, testifying at the trial
to test the sanity of Thaw, gave as
his opinion that Thaw is suffering
with 'paranoia, or constitutional in
feriority with a paranoiac trend
On cross-examinaton he said he
did not know what constitutional in
feriority' meant, but he used the
term, which he described as new, be-
cause he thought it applicable.
John Stanchtield, Thaw's chief
counsel, contended there had been
testimony to show Thaw lived nor
mally at New Hampshire after escap-
ing from Matteawan. Flint declared
this was not inconsistent with the
theory that Thaw was a paranoiac.
IF, you didn't know his history
Judge Hendrick interrupted, would
you think him paranoiac from indi-
cations he has given here?'
No." Flint answered.
According to Flint, Thaw was not,
and never was, suffering from mani
acal Oppressive insanity. He declar-
ed if Thaw was sent toMatteawan
for that he was incarcerated for an
ailment he did not possess. He said
he did not consider paranoia curable.'

TWO PETITIONS
JOINED BY HIM
FILED AS ONE
One Drawn by Kellstrom and the
Other by State Equity .
Leaders.
INDICATES INCOMPETENCE
OR POLITICAL TRICKERY
Commission Under New Law
Doubtless Will Organize at
Once.

II. J. Lindc, attorney general,
yesterday uneartfed in Thomas
Halls office what is either the
grossest evidence Of incompe-
tcnce or Of the rankest political
intrigue.
Two separate petitions, incon-
sistent in terms, were joined as
one by Mr.. Hall and filed suspend
ing the immigration bill passed by
the last legislature. Neither of
them separately has enough sigma
lures to hold up the law but join
ed together they had S,272 names
or just twenty-eight I signatures
more than are required by law.
Governor l.. B. Hanna, before leav-
ing the city last week, asked Attorney
General Linde for an opinion upon the
general subject Of immigration. He
desired to kLow whether the suspen.
sion of the law until the fall of 1916
also nullitied the appropriation under
which the. immigration work has been
carried on through the office Of the
commissioner of agriculture.
sseq qLinde Nails Error. VI
Attorney General Linde had the
petitions examined and instead OF find
ing only ole found two documents
pinned together, each containing about
an equal amount OF signatures. One
petition had cen drawn by the Equity
organization ard the other came from
tie pen of +. o. Hellstrom.f E
Those Forty.nine Signatures.
1t was also discovered tina in
among the petitions supposed to sus-
pend the immigration bill was ter
minal elevator bill petition containing
40 names.
Assistants in Mr.. Halls office could
not tell whether these were included
among the S,272 signatures counted
against the immigration bill. In other
words, it was impossible to secure any
accurate information on the PROPOSE
ton. ,s H.. &c.,.
Since the Bickford scandal was un-
earthed, there has never been an in
stance Of such gross mislnanagement
in the state house.
Board Can Organize.
It is rumored now that Governor
Hanna will be informed that the
state irnmigra ton board, of which, un-
fortunately Thomas Hall is a
member under the law, can organize.
1t is impossible to join petitions
which are not Identical.
An examination of these petitions,
which are printed in another column
with their authorship shows that the
one framed by the Equity only in
tends to suspend the appropriation,
while the Hellstrom petition en-
braces in effect tho entire act

Washington July 12.-!"ith the oc
cupation of Mexico City by the Car
rama forces under General Pablo
Ganzales, high officials Of the United
States look hopefully for the estab
lishment of a government there and
the uninterrupted passage Of relief
supplies to the famine stricken popu-

EDISON WILL
ASSIST NAVY
To Head Civilian Inventors Who
Have Been Asked to Solve
,fl Problems.

West Orange, N. j., July 12.-.
Thomas "A. Edison has accepted an
invitation from Secretary Daniels to
head the advisory board of civilian
Inventors for the bureau Of invention
and development to be created by the
navy department. His acceptance
will go forward Immediately to Wash
ington, where new plans awaiat word
from the MAI "who can turn dreams
into realities" Daniels idea in utiliz-
ing tn einventive genius of Americans
in and out of the military and naval
service to meet conditions of warfare
is shown in the conflict in Europe
and was outlined in letter written
last Wednesday, asking Edison whe.
ther, as patriotic service to his coun-
try, he will undertake the task of ad-
vising the proposed bureau.
1t is planned to have several men
prominent in special inventive re-
seach associated in the work. Among
the great problems to be laid before
the investigators, the secretary men
toned submarine warfare, adding that
he felt sure, with Edison's wonderful
brain to help them, officers of the
navy will be able to meet this new
danger with new devices that assure
peace to our country by their effec-
tiveness."
The development Of Secretary Dan
iels' idea of strengthening the ma
tional defense by centralizing the in.
ventive genius of the country to as
sist in perfecting the navy as a fight
ing machine, has hinged almost wholly
upon Edisons reply to the request
that he head the civilian advisory
board to the proposed new bureau of
invention and development The
naval officers generally are enthusl-
astic at the proposed innovation, and
predicted a great improvement in the
navy's condition and the organization
which will follow. One of the nrst
problems for the new bureau will be
improving the navy's submarines and
aaeroplanes. The imperative need of
the development Of these two branches
Of the service is recognized.
