TRIESTE IS STARVING
and NEARING REVOLT
Fear Disorder Will Become Sc
Great That Italy Will Be-
come Involved.

Rome. April 24.-Fear is felt that tn.
shortage of food in Trieste may result
In disorders of such Importance that
they will lead to serious trouble here
where everything affecting Trieste is
watched with the closest interest be-
cause the population of the Austrian
crown lane is chiefly Italian.
The people of Trieste, now are re-
ported to be marching through the
streets demanding bread. crying down
with war!" and cheering for Italy. I'm
der the rigid Austrian regulations of
the past this procedure would have re-
suited in arrests as the display Of
Italian colors or the singing Of the
Italian anthem were prohibited.
If the situation in Trieste becomes
worse it is believed here it may be suf-
ficient to force the hand Of the Italian
government because of the sympathy
and excitement 1t would arouse among
the people Of this country.

London. April "a. Seven million
people. of whom 1000. 900 are Jews. are
in dire need of food. This statement
was made by Hermann Landau. a
ewish philanthropist associated with
various Jewish charities in London.
q these sufferers $500. 600 are east
of the Nistula river and 1900. 600 west
of the river MIR. Laundau said. The
Jews are even poorer than the Gentiles
because of the boycott against the
Jews in parts of Poland before the be-
ginning of the war. which impover-
ished thousands who otherwise would
have been able to provide for their
families.
political and religious p%rejudices
against the Jews also renders their
condition worse In parts of Poland
evacuated by the Germans many Jews
are living on potato peels and gar
bage left by the army.
II hear that Americans are rallying
to aid the Poles. and / know that their
needs will be supplied when the world
realizes how terrible is their plight.
Communication with Poland and Gal
icia is SO difficult that it is impossible
for the world to learn Immediately OF

HARRY THAW WINS
LONG FIGHT FOR
TRIAL BY Jury
Supreme Court Justice Hend-

-ThaW Happy.
HEARING DATE is MAY II
Finding of Jury Will Not Be
Binding Unless 1t Is In Ac-
cordance With Evidence
and Justice.
HEARING DATE is May II

New York, April 24.-The question
Of the sanity of Harry *. Thaw will be
determined by a jury. Supreme court
Justice Hendricks in a decision handed
down today. granted the application for
a trial made by Thaw's attorneys m a
writ of habeas corpus.
Thaw was in court when Justice
Hendrick announced his opinion. His
face at once lighted up with pleasure.
He was kept busy for nearly half an
hour shaking hands before he was
taken back to the Tombs.
1T will be good news to my moth
er." he told newspaper men: That all
/ want to say for publications.
The o question which Justice
Hendricks had to decide was whether
the court had power to grant a jury
trial. He held that he did have such
power.
He pointed out that the jury was
called i'm ito aid III court by their adj
vice and that he finding of the jury
would not be binding if the court was
satisfied that it was not in accordance
with the evidence and with justice.
The trial will begin May IL.
Is Not Criminal.
1T is therefore evident" wrote
Justice Hendrick in his opinion, after
quoting authorities and ~precedents,
cedent for the impaneling of a jury to
aid in trying the issues of fact raised
apon the raverse to the return in a
aabeas corpus proceeding"
After reviewing the Thaw case the
decision continued:
1T should be borne in mind that
Thaw is not confined as a criminal. He
has been acquitted of the crime of
which he was charged and there can
De no punishment for one who has been
acquitted. He is confined in a state
hospital for the insane as a %precaution
Cor the public. The commitment can
last only so long as he is insane and he
has the right at any time, under the
.aw. to have his sanity determined upon
habeas orpus."
