THAW PLEASED
WITH EVIDENCE
IN HIS BEHALF
State Is TO Secure Statement
From Dr. Eliot President
Emeritus of Harvard Uni
verSity, as Chief Testimony

New York, June 24.--Harry X.
Thaw. sitting beside his lawyers at the
Jury trial to test his sanity, today
heard sixteen more witnesses-near-
ly all Of them friends he made dur
ing his soiourn in Canada and New
ampshire-testify that they believ-
ed he was a rational man.
One was a physician who had at
tended TO his sprained ankle, an
other had sold him an automobile,
another had gone fishing with MN,
another camping, one was the sheriff
who was his custodian in New Hamp-
shire for sixteen months; one, an al
derman of Sherbrooke, Quebec, VINO
said he thought so much of him that
he had invited him to settle down
there as one of the citys business
men. All declared that Thaw con-
Quoted himself like a gentleman, had
no delusions and was rational in ac-
tions.
Inaw, turning frequently to news
paper men who sat near him, gave
evidence of his satisfaction at the
mass of evidence in his favor that his
counsel was presenting the jury. The
attorneys for the state, however,
ask each witness whether Thaw had
at any time discussed women with
them or any of the circumstances
that led to the murder of Stanford
white. None would say that these
topics were brought up, whereupon
the states examiners would make the
point that paranolac such as IhaW
is alleged to be, might converse ra-
tionally except when his one delusiol'
was mentioned.
Thaw was. especially pleased wlth
the testimony of Sheriff Holman A.
Drew of Coos county, New Hamp-
shire. who arrested Thaw and was
his custodian for sixteen months
Most Important Witness.
Drew" said Thaw to his neWspa-

pelled from that institution IN le9z.
He said that the justice would grant
the order tomorrow. Thaw when he

trians have shelled this battery until
more bullets than grass can he seen
ln its vicinity. its losses have not
greatly exec eded one man day.
Good Artillery Target.
Before us lay the most advanced
Austrian position on a mountain
whose top was almost perpendicular,
making il impregnable TO bayonet as
sault. But this very position. so Sc
cure against infantry, was good
mark for artillery The Russians had
extended their position to three sides
of the hill. While we were there the
incessant workers were building roads.
Artillery would be brought at night
and the enflladed fortress turned into
a shell trap.
In the meantime all was peace In
our vicinity and across the line. The
enemies positions ran in zig-zag
shape, the nearest Austrian firing
trench not 500 yards away. From
there 1t ran TO a sandy valley a good
half mile off.
Trees and underground had been
removed except for an occasional
lonely sentinel, whose range measured
TO the defending batteries would aid
the gunners to fire against the Rus
sian advance. The Austrian trenches
were clearly visible through the
glasses, They were of the covered
type built with loopholes for rifle
fire and exceedingly strong against
shrapnel and rifle fire.
Another half mile beyond lay the
supporting trenches and around these,
lounging in full view. were groups OF
Austrian soldiers clearly visible In
their blue gray uniforms. so badly
adapted to modern warfare.
Intricate EntangIements.
Before the Austrian trenches were
intricate wire entanglements, sturdily
constructed on tree stumps and posts
in the ground. In comparison TO them
the Russian entanglements appeared
flmsy There was no firing going on,
so | stepped out of the trench and
walked to the wires. Just as | thought
not built to keep the enemy out, but
to let our own men through, while
making the hostile officers think we
were on the defensive!
AS everything remained quiet sent
for Thompson and the moving picture
machine and took pictures of the Rus
sian trenches from the front.
/ hardly expected we would be suf-
fered to remain there long, as the
camera might he mistaken for ma
chine gun or a range finder or some
new and mysterious engine Of war, but
not a single shot was fired in our di-
rection.
The lens of the cinema described

the first panorama of a battlefield
taken from between the hostile lines.

for two more brgades of infantry, another regi-

Frontage Tax Victory

n THOUGH beaten in the courts, those who
"A instituted the injunction suit against the
city for the purpose of forcing the supervisors to
recognize both the letter and the spirit of the
frontage tax law have won their point substan-
tally, forcing public attention to the issue and
securing from the board Of supervisors a formal
pledge not to undertake in future street work of
questionable nature
This is what the advocates of the frontage tax
law desired and it is encouraging to know that
the resolution of the supervisors, defining A street
policy makes further litigation in the matter un-
necessary.
There are now obligations upon the supervisors
not to attempt evasions of the law, just as there
are obligations to effect legitimate street repairs,
in order that the streets may be at least passable
pending the creation of improvement districts for
the rebuilding, in permanent way, of some of
the principal thoroughfares. The red tape re-
quistc to be unWound before district is enabled
to bu.id its own streets in busnesslike way APP
pears useessly extensive, but to unwind that red
tape appears to be the law When the property
owners endeavorng fairly to live up to the
law, it is reasonable and proper that during the
legal delays sufficient legitimate street repairing
be done in their districts to keep the streets up.
Kaakaua avenue is case III point The resi-
dents along that avenue ARE in earnest in their
desire to rebuild this nfithJu sd Roadway Under
the terms of the new law but it will be from four
to six months before all the LOCALITIES can be COM
piled with cumbersome is the act. In the
meanwhile the road calls for some most necessary
temporary repairing, which the supervisors will
be quite justified in doing. This avenue is too
extensively used to be blocked altogether by the
chuck holes, as is the present danger .
No legitimate reason for objection can be raised
regarding such repair work this, provided it is
done repair work sufficient simply to keep the
road negotiable until the Improvement district may
be perfected

H. Mr.. Arita called attention to the
fact that in l9l3.l9l4 there we're 675
reported cases of which POI Cor 30.6
per cent? were Japanese. Mr.. Arita
said:
r. cor the total cases, 1893 died of
whom lO5 were Japanese. In addition
q large percentage of cases returned to
Japan and died there, so that the death
rate among japanese contracting the
disease in Hawaii was actually much
higher than these figures indicate.
Gin l9l4-l0l5 there was q total of
7l9 reported cases of which 1889 Cor
25 per cent? were japanese, the same

which inspires me with the hope
that with the go operation of the Jap
