THAW IS SUFFERING
 FROM RHEUMATISM
Court Denies Request That He Be
 Sent to Bellevue For Treatment.

New York, March 10.-Harry Ken dayy ThaW, on trial with five CO., de- fendants for conspiring to escape from the state hospital for the criminal in sane at Matteawan, was so ill at the conclusion of the proceedings today that Justice Page, before whom the trial is in progress, had the couch in his chamber moved to the Tombs for the prisoner to sleep upon. Thaw is suffering from rheumatism, brought on, the jail physician said, by the draughts in his cell.
 While he sat in court today listen ing to tn states witnesses tracing his flight from Matteawan to New Hamp- shore, Thaw had a shawl thrown over one shoulder and the neck of a, heavy sweater turned up to his ears. Unless his illness interferes with their plans, Thaw's attorneys will place him upon the witness stand tomorrow to tell his own story in his own way. In this manner, they said, they hope to show the jury that their client has re- GOV -ed his sanity.
 Nearly all the witnesses who testified today were employees of the Matteawan hospital, or persons who had seen one or both of the automobiles in which the escape was effected.
 Each of the employees was asked questions designed to indicate to the jury that Thaw was sane at the time of his escape. These witnesses were unanimous in agreeing that Thaw's personal appearance was always neat that his conduct was exemplary and that he occupied his spare moments by reading text books on various sub- jects and current fiction.
 Justice Page had his couch moved to the Tombs for Thaw after the latter's attorneys had for the second time made and the court had denied a request that Thaw- be sent to Bellevue hospital for treatment

Hartford, March 1O.-In the house on Wednesday over an hour was given up to a general discussion of a bill con ceIninS the pasturing of bulls, and it was the first measure that was given oren attention by members outside the leaders. It was a demonstration of the ability of the SOlonS and brought out much wit, some of a shady nature, and was punctuated with bulls that created much merriment. If measures of no more importance are given as much consideration, the effort of the leaders for short record session will be thwarted. The bill as finally amended and passed is as follows
 No person shall permit any bull of A months or more to be at large in any field, highway, park or common. Any person violating any provision of this act shall be fined not more than $25 for each offense.
 In the original bill the age was fixed at IS months instead of two years. Amendments were made and lost that eXpurged the word field" specifying a bull with horns. were lost. Several other amendments of an unsavory na- ture and lacking in legislative dignity were overlooked by Speaker Healy.

ing that I carried a cargo of wheat the German captain told me tha5 it was contrabsud and he intended to destroy 1t. I protested, but no atten- tion was paid to my statements.
 "A German officer and squad of men were sent aboard the bark and and my crew were set to work throwing the grain overheard. The German sighted another vessel. also becalmed and made for her. He re- turned about 10 o'clock at night, hav- ing sent the other ship to the bottom, as I afterward ascertained
 Evidently the grain was not being thrown overheard fast enough to suit the German skipper, for he sent a half a hundred of his men aboard soon afterwards and the work went on for hours without interruption. However, it was slow at best and I was inform ed about 2 o'clock next morning my ship would be sent to the bottom, which was done in the manner de- scribed above"

SAMUEL BCWLES ILL
 AS THE RESULT OF A SHOCK,
Editor and Publisher of the Springfield
 Republican.

Springfield, Mass, March 1O.-Sam- uel Bowles, editor and publisher of the Springfield Republican, is critically i'll at his home on Crescent Hill, this city, as the result of a shock a little after midnight this Wednesday, morning. Since his seizure he has not recovered consciousness. MT BowleS has not been at his office since Tuesday on account of severe headaches. It was hoped that this could be attributed to grip as he had some of the symptoms of that ailmert. The sudden seizure at first believed to be due to a. cerebral hemorrhage, but tonight hope is ex- pressed that the cause may be of a different one. MT. Bowles has been editor and publisher of the Republican since 1878, when Samuel Bowles, his father, the founder of the Daily Re- publican, died as the result of apoplexy.

FLOW OF IMMIGRATION
 TURNS TOWARD EUROPE. For First Time More Aliens Leaving the U. S. Than Are Coming Here.

Washington, March 10.-F'or the first time in tbe history of the United States the flow of immigration has been turn ed back toward Europe by the war, and more aliens are leaving the United States than are coming here to make their homes.
 Statistics made public today by Im- migration Commissioner Camenitti show that the change came in Decem- Der last, when the number of emil grant aliens was greater by 2,240 than the total of immigrants. In January 1.757 more departed than entered. The departures for the six months from August, 1914, to January last totalled 1S,545 more than the arrivals, includ- ing both emigrant and non- emigrant aliens.
 The heaviest emigration was shown among aliens from southern Italy. Of these, 75,629 more departed than were admitted during the seven months end ed with January. This presumably was due to the calling of Italian re- servists to the colors.
