NO FURTHER DELAY
FOR THAW'S TRIAL
Whites Slayer Anxious to Have
Jury Pass on His
Sanity.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Counsel of
Harry K. Thaw and for the State
were agreed today that there should
be no attempt to delay or adjourn
the hearing on the question of his
sanity before Justice Hendrick and a
jury next Tuesday. This agreement
followed decision by the Court of
Appeals yesterday sustaining Thaw's
appeal for a trial by jury. All his
previous hearings on writs of habeas
corpus to obtain freedom from the
Matteawan asylum have been before
justices alone. This time Justice
Hendrick decided to call a jury to
"act in an advisory capacity"
Deputy Attorney General Frank x.
Cook, who with Deputy Alfred l..
Becker will conduct the States case,
intimated that they would inquire
into Thaw's history at great length
and that alienists would be called as
witnesses. He said he was not sure
whether Evelyn Thaw would testify.
Morgan j. O'Brien, of Thaw's coun-
sci. said Thaw was anxious to go on
the witness stand and demonstrate
that he is now sane and that his
counsel had scores of witnesses in
cluding alienists.

According to the stories told the
police, a trolley car and a jitney
were goipg along practically side by
side. west on Clinton avenue, near
Milford, when Mr.. Liebstein started
to cross from the south side of clin-
ton avenue to the north side, on which
he resided. M
When he got to the car tracks he
waited for the approaching trolley
and jitney to pass. Right behind the
trolley came the jitney driven by
Kelly. He had five passengers aboard
and was going at lively clip with
his machine straddling the outside
rail of the car tracks. This placed
the trolley between him and Mr..
Lebstein.
Victim Tried to Escape.
Finding no room to pass the trolley
car and the other jitney Just ahead,
Kelley swung his car to the left. in
tending to pass the trolley on that
side. AS his machine came into view
of Mr.. Liebstein the aged man darted
back towards the curb he had just
left. Kelley shouted at him to stand
where he was and turned the car
still further to the left in an attempt
to pass between Mr.. Liebstein and
the south curb.
The elderly man, confused by the
shouting. continued his attempt to
get back to the curb, and was caught
by the right mudguard of the ma
chine. Kelley and a passenger picked
Mr.. Liebstein up and rushed him to
st. Barnabas's Hospital. but he was
dead upon arrival.
Sister Identifies Body.
The body was removed to Holes
morgue, where an examination OF the
clothing revealed a note from DR.

telephone call was then sent to the
residence of Mrs. r. Gelb, of 225 Liv-
ingston street, a sister, VINO visited
the morgue and identified the body.
Clinton avenue was so filled with
automobiles, mostly jitneys. that
more than forty cars were standing
about when Kelley commenced his
journey to the hospital although nc
time was lost in stopping the cal
and picking Mr.. Liebstein up.
Kelley then reported to the First
precinct police station and was
turned over to the police of the Sixth
precinct, where he was held on g

NEWTON, June 19.-"There's no
place like home to the prisoners in
Sussex county, the home in this in
stance being the county Jail here
at Newton. The eighteen of them, as
announced in yesterdays Evening
Star, were let out of their cells to
see the ball game between Newton
and the New York Yankees. for
which a holiday had been declared in
this town, and every one went back
to jail last night in time to get his
supper.
Under Sheriff Albert T. Lyons, at
the instance of Sheriff William b.
Wilson, took them out of Jail yester-
day afternoon and walked with them
out to the ball grounds. From force
of habit, however. he locked up the
empty Jail, and the prisoners were
greatly disturbed last night when
they returned and found that they
had been locked out.
They came back from the game.

BERLIN (via London. 1140 a. M,
June 19.-Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard,
whose long report to Foreign Minister
Van Jagow, DR.. Alfred Zimmerman,
under secretary of foreign affairs,
and Count Montgelas. head Of tho
American section of the foreign
office. acquainted these officials fully
with the status OF public opinion in
the United States. will be given an
opportunity to make a similar report
direct to Chancellor Won Bethmann-
HolIweg before the actual work is
commenced of preparing the German
reply to the second United states
note regarding submarine warfare.
Whether DR.. Meyer-G Gerhard. was
was sent to Germany by Count Won
Bernstorff, ambassador to the United
States, will visit headquarters and
present his facts to Emperor william
in person has not been decided. In
any case, the German reply probably
will not be ready for delivery In less
than ten days or two weeks.
Extended conferences between rep
resentatives of the various Depart
ments concerned will be required to
unity the views of the foreign office,
the ministry of marine and the naval
general staff, for presentation to the
DnlteO SldleS.
These conferences and deliberations
have not yet begun, and there is
nothing to show what direction the
current of German policy ultimately
will take 1t still is an open question
whether the reply will be another ad
| interim communication or a definite
rejonder.
1t may be stated regarding DR..
| Meyer-G Gerhard's report that the in
| formation brought by him contained
little which was absolutely new to
| the foreign office and it's chief value
! in presenting a report of the strength
| of the various currents of public
opinion in the United States and the
attitude of President Wilson and his
advisers In q more positive and con-
| vincing form than could have been
possible in a written communication.
| He is understood to have made 1t
clear there Is no doubt the American
people are standing solidly behind the
President in his insistence upon guar
antees against repetition of such an
incident as the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and equally little doubt that nc
important section of the American
people favor war IL 1t can be avoided
honorably.

GERMAN CAMP
DIVIDED OVER
REPLY TO j. S.
Military Element in Empire Is
Making Fight Against
Any Concessions.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-The Ger
man military element Is making a de-
termined stand to keep the diplomatic
party from making concessions to the
United States. Both official and un-
official ddvices from Berlin indicate
this The reason is declared to be a
belief that If the United States Sc
cured all the concessions she demands
mistaken impression will get abroad
that Germany fears eventual defeat.
The conflict at Berlin is declared to
be the first real difference of opinion
that has developed since the war be-
gan. AS yet the outcome is in doubt.
The military group is declared will
ing to concede that Americans are en-
titled to their government protection
under all circumstances, and that
they and other neutrals have right
under international law to go any
where they please; but the groups
put up squarely to the United States
the proposition that. inasmuch as the
allies are carrying munitions on pas
senger vessels, the government here
should take up for serious considera-
ton former Secretary of State Bryan $
suggestion that the navigation laws
be go construed as to compel steam
ship companies to Keep passengers or
such boats.
The suggestion also is made that
the United States could easily with
hold passports from American travel
ers who will not agree to take passage
on vessels under the American flag
The president and his advisors are
watching the conflict OF ideas care
fully. They have already recognized
the military elements shrewdness In
getting its opinions presented In this
country in the form of seemingly
frank newspaper dispatches, telling OF
the opposition to any modification
of the submarine warfare. There is
no doubt In the presidents mind, how
ever, that the German imperial chan
cellor, the foreign minister, and the
group of officials who will 20. X"

ious to adjust the two countries
differences satisfactorily.

Proved Her Case.

Did you ever attend the zoo? A

But let Cyril Naude tell his own
story.
LAS married couple were walk
ing down one of the main thorough
fares of city, the husband noted the
attention which other women obtain
ed from passerby. and remarked to
his better half:
Folks never look at you. / wish
1 had married someone better look
ing
The woman tartly replied: It's
your fault. Do you think a man will
stare at me when you're walking with
me? You step behind me and see
whether men don't look at me-
The husband hung back about a
dozen yards and for the length OF
the street was surprised to see every
man his wife passed stare at her. and
even turn around and look after her
Sure. lassie.' he exclaimed. as
he rejoined her, I was wrong and

about your looks again.

A Splendid Opportunity.

With the growing gravity OF the
war situation abroad. as it affects
neutral powers, the question OF
Americas preparedness for war finds
an echo in the announced organiza-
ton of the American legion, to be
composed of former army and navy
men in cooperation with citizen SOL
diery. BY this plan it is proposed to
establish an army reserve of 23O.OOO
men. 1t is also foregone conclu-
sion the regular army Of the United
States will be materially increased in
strength while the national guard of
various States will receive far bet
ter training than has been evident in
the past.
In this connection there looms up
a splendid opportunity for this Sec
ton in the recent acquisition by the
United States government of the
Vanderbilt lands at, and adjacent to
Pisgah forest. 1t will be recalled
that last year the. national forestry
commission purchased $4,000 acres
in the Pisgah forest section, the Van
derbilt family retaining about 1900
acres surrounding the mansion. The
purpose of the government was. 1t
was stated at the time, was to turn
Pisgah forest into a national park
and game reserve, but whether or
not this project reaches accomplish
ment, the Pisgah acres would make
an ideal location for regular army
post and training grounds. Such a
plan is commendable in the fact that
the United States government al
ready owns that land, a feature
which would do away with the wild
scramble for real estate sales which
usually follows the announcement
that the government is in the market.
We need not enter here into a dis
cussion of the various advantages
which the Pisgah forest lands pre-
sent for the establishment of an army
post and training ground, since they
are thoroughly familiar to the ma
jority of newspaper readers. We
would only dwell upon the inestima-
Bile benefits which would acrue to
Ashville and the country surround
ing it.
Military experts agree that to OBJ
tain military efficiency the raw re-
cruit must be trained for months.
Lord Kitchener, of England has clear
ly demonstrated this fact by train
ing million men for six months on
the plains of Salisbury. Without ex-
aggeration it may be stated that no.
where in the United States could be
found a more available location for
such a purpose than the government
owned acres of Pisgah forest.
The foregoing is respectfully urg-
ed upon the Asheville board of trade
and other civic organizations with
the hope that they will look into this
splendid opportunity. North Caro-
lima stands high in the places of pow
er at Washington, and now is the
accepted time to set the ball rolling.
