DR.. WAITE FOUND SANE.
Alienists' Ruling Seals Fate Of Den.
list Who Poisoned Wife's Parents.

ALBANY, N. T.. May 1S.-Dr. Arthur
Warren Waite. the young New York
dentist. under sentence to die next week
for the murder of his father-in-law.
John Peck of Grand Rapids, Mich. has
been declared sane by a commission Of
alienists appointed by Gov. Whitman. 1t
was announced today at the executive
chamber.
: The alienists found that DIR. Waite
was sane both at the time the crime
was committed in March. 1916. and on
May IA, 1917, when tho examination
was made. The result of the report
means that the death sentence must be
carried out unless legal steps intervene
or Gov. Whitman should exercise execu-
tive clemency.
Besides confessing that he poisoned
his father-in-law, Waite admitted he
had poisoned his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Peck, and contemplated killing his
wife that he might obtain her share OF
the Peck estate.

SPANISH CABINET ACTS ON
TORPEDOING OF PATRICIO
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MADRID, May IS. via Paris-An ex-
traordinary meeting or the cabinet was
called yesterday evening Immediately
upon receipt of news of the sinking of
the Spanish steamer Patricio, of $500
tons. The accounts stated that the
crew was saved, but that one sailor was
seriously wounded.
The government authorities were ex-
tremely reserved as to the result of
their two-hour deliberatfon on the case,
but 1T is supposed that the cabinet de-
cided to send another note of the most
energetic character to Germany.
A violent clash between Francophiles
and Germanophiles occurred here last
evening as the outcome of arguments
over the Spanish note to Germany and
Germany's reply concerning the sinking
of the Spanish steamer San Leandro.
Several hundred persons took part in
fist fighting. and some of them used
canes during the encounters.

War Strength Of Militia.

The war strength of militia in the
various states is based on an organiza-
ton of 800 men; including naval militia,
for each senator and representative in
Congress. That not being possible
under existing non-representative con-
ditions in the District of Columbia. the
authorities of the War Department. on
the recommendation of Gen. William A.
Mann. chief of the militia division, have
arbitrarily established the war strength
organization of the District National
Guard as follows:
For coast defense support-One regi-
ment of infantry and one separate bat
talon of infantry. To the Sth Infantry
division-One battalion of field artiI-
lery. one squadron of cavalry. one COM
pany signal corps and one company field
hospital, in addition to which provision
is made for two companies of coast ar
tillery. This allotment calls for an ad-
dition of one battery of field artillery,
one company of coast artillery and two
troops of cavalry to the present organ
ization.
1t is stated at the War Department
that II the necessary number of men
are not obtained by regular enlistment
the draft will be resorted to. The war
strength of the existing organization
is stated at 1851. That allows 2,05S for
the Sd Infantry, 623 for the LIST Sep
airy, 10S each; Batteries A and B, Field
Artillery, 1875 each: Signal Corps. IS:
Coast Artillery, 113; Field Hospital, 10.
An increase of 424 men is made by the
addition of two troops of cavalry at
216 each; one new battery of field ar
tillery at 1875 and one company of coast
artillery at 113. The total strength of
