THAW IS A PARANOIAC,
 SAYS ALIENIST ON STAND
pr Flint Doesn't Know Exactly What Constitutional Infei ority'' Means, But Believes Thaw is Suffering
 From It

New York. July 12.-Austin Flint, the alienist testified today at the trial to test the sanity of Harry K. Thaw. sai6 lie believed Thaw was suffering with
 paranoiac or constitutional inferiority with a paranoiac trend.' On cross-ex animation he said he did not know what constitutional inferioritys meant. but that he had used the term. which ne described as being new. because he thought it applicable.
 John M. stanchield. chief counsel for Thaw, contended that testimony had shown that Thaw lived a normal life in New Hamphire after his escape from Matteawan. Dr. Flint declared this was not Inconsistent with his theory that Ihaw was paranoiac.

STRUGGLE FOR POWER WILL BE FEATURE OF SESSION OF SOLONS
tContinued from Page onep

decreed that the appointive power shall be taken from the chief executive and placed in the hands of the legislature. Of the prohibition rank and filo, the governor in his bond issue fight will have the support of several valiant members. this despite the fact that some of those who stood at Armageddon last February are reported to have wound their ways back into the camp of the lobby In the plan of the lobby to deprive the gov ernor of the appointive power, some of the strongest members of the legislature who were guided by the nonmembers in liquor legislation, will be found SUD- porting the constitution and the chief executive
 Governor Full of Fight Governor Henderson this morning de- clared that he felt confident that the lobby would rally to it's standard legs- lators in sufficient number to deprive him of his right to name the members of the convict bureau and the tax commission
 He emphatically reiterated his former expressions of a need for a bond issue and the appointment of commission to prepare budget for the guidance of future legislatures.
 Outwardly he was calm and collected inwardly however. he was apparently possessed by a determination to rush into the conflict and do battle for honor and advancement, for the re-establish- ment of dignity in government and con servative statesmanship
 The forces of the governor, 1t might be stated with certainty. are confident They feel that the legislature. before it puts through the bills of the recess com mittee. will be compelled to draw the teeth of those bills; or, in other words to amend them to the aextent that the governor and not the lobby will have the right to exercise the appointive power.
 Unique Political Situation
 The situation IS unique in the history of Alabama politics. For it has never be- fore happened that an organization of nonmembers has endeavored to discharge the functions of governor.
 Last week, as Is remembered Governor Henderson appointed the members of the state tax commission and the convict bu- reau. The legislature will be asked to- morrow to declare those appointments null and void or. in other words, to sub stitute for departments other departments of identical functions and name the mem- l bers of such departments itself.
 clash between the governor and fac ton of the legislature is therefore cer- tain. It Is certain that the battle for | power will be fercely fought and long drawn out It is certain, too, that the length of this struggle, irrespective of it's result, will make it impossible for the | legislature to discharge it's work and re- turn home within day or two It is cer- tain, too, that in the struggle for power, unusual incidents will be recorded and l spectacular feats enacted.
 It is to be an epoch making session of the assembly, one in which new political Richmonds will be produced and old warriors, drunk with power, retired to an innocuous state of privaye life And the battle will soon be joined.

 We ought to look after our own in- terests first. The war ought not to be allowed to be conducted at the expense of the southern people. Our representa- tives in Congress ought to demand that the interests in the south be taken care of.
 Our government could easily handle the situation. We are supplying enormous amounts of ammunition to England. Sup pose Washington informed England that nless the embargo on cotton was re- moved at once we would place an en- bargo on ammunition shipments.

 T don't think he has" pr. Flint stated. "only to me he does not act like sane man."
 Dr. Flint explained that he did not think Thaw ever was "persecuted paranoiac," but declared he has delu- sions of persecution. In this disease. he added, the delusions change from year to year.
 But there were no indications while he was on the stand in this trial2" Mr. Stanchheld asked

 The recording angel scored one for Judge Davis yesterday for his mag unanimous treatment of a youth who appeared before him charged with swimming in the reservoir at North Birmingham. For this offense fine of the lightest sort
 The young fellow admitted his guilt, but said he did not know he was vlo- lating law in swimming there. He could not keep his lips moist and was continually swallowing a huge lump in his throat. He was scared within an inch of his life and appeared to him up for life.
 After the evidence had been given Judge Davis fined him $l.
 The boy continued to stand before him. swallowing hard. The judge glanced up and saw in the boys face that he was in despair.
 Haven't you got a dollar. son?" he asked kindly.
 The boy shook his head negatively. If he had spoken one word he would have broken down completely.
 Well" said the judge, "Ill suspend that sentence pending your good be havior. Don't go swimming in the reservoir any more.'
 The youth evidently did not know what the judge meant by a suspended sentence and appeared to think that he had to go back to jail
 "This way out said Baiiff Todd, pointing to the door
 The boy looked up with a glad smile and hurried from the courtroom.

in 24 hours. England in the very be- ginning of the war declared cotton non contraband. Now, why don't she let it alone?
 I don't believe in war with anybody don't believe in their war between them selves; I don't synpathize with any of them and don't worry over it, for there s no use. They are cutting each other threats now, and it's no use debating over who was to blame or who is not. My purpose is to look out for the south.
 ''I believe in standing up for our own rights and our own interests and unless that is done regarding the cotton situation and done at once there is trouble and lots of it ahead for us
 'To show how the south is discrimlnated against, l heard a man say recently that certain interests had gone to New York to secure for the south some of these war orders,' and that the delegation was informed that none of the orders could be placed in the south because 1t was too far from New York for the inspectors to go to look over the output"

That the relics of oden days have not left us yet was demonstrated yesterday morning in recorders court. when an old, grey-headed negro man appeared before Judge Davis on a charge of assault and battery on his wife
 According to the testimony, it appeared that the old man was the owner of COW. which he did not want to be turned out to pasture on Sunday. He had been work ing all night and was attempting to get some sleep. His wife insisted on turning the COW out of the lot and did so over his violent protest. He came out and ran the COW back into the barnyard. His wife promptly drove her out again.
 She tuhned dat COW out six times, jedge," said the old man, relating his part of the story. "Ah tor her alter dat, dat if she tuhned her out again I'd smack 'er. She done hit and I smacked her on de face. Why, boss, I'm as good to dat oman as l am to dat COW, and de cows wuth heap more to me. I works all de time and feed her as regular as I do de COW. l had right to smack ner. You'd a done hit youse'f jedge."
 "Lawd what liar dat nigger is,' ex- ploded his wife. Who, white folks, he beat me foolish. Oars purple spots all over nah head and face where he beat me. Smacked me! He smacked me wid bis fists all over de head dats where he smacked mel"
 The woman was considerably blacker than the ace of spades. and it was im- possible for Judge Davis to discover the purple spots she referred to in her narra- tive. However, it appeared that her hus- band had really 'smacked" her and Judge Davis had to administer a fine.
