six years until last week. when she
suddenly appeared in court here.
What she can tell. however, is the
background Of Thaw's past. She
can tell the jury under what cir
cumstances Thaw shot Stanford
White and that is what it is pro.
! posed she should tell. She can tell
exactly how Thaw lived and acted
before he fired that fatal shot, and
1t is expected she will grasp the op-
portunity offered her.
Once the same story, as told by
her, probably saved Thaw from the
electric chair. There IL q peculiar
| psychological twist to this next APP
pearance OF Miss Nesbit in the
Thaw case. This time her story may
be the thing which will kill his
great hope for freedom.
Won Mothers Consent.
Mrs. Thaw was practically forced
to give her consent to her sons APP
plication for release. it was reported
today. On VISIT to his mother In
Pittsburgh, Thaw IL said to have
threatened that he would repeat
consent to his appeal.
Alienists testifying for the estate
have admitted that Tor six years
Thaw has had no hallGcinations, no
illusions, no decisions.
With only the now famous in
| cident OF the rabbits against his
record for normal actions, it in
generally admitted that Thaw has
acted extremely well since he en-.
tered Kirkbride's Asylum.
The contention against him il,
however, that on ordinary topics,
under ordinary circumstances he In
sane; the contention is that he can
be normal until his one mental
weakness suddenly crops out.
Miss Nesbit's task will be to
show how that mental weakness ap-
peared and what reaction he had
| to 1t in the past. She will be
asked II Thaw was usually appar-
emily normal, giving way only &C.
casionAlly to the mental impulses
which. Thaw's opponents maintain,
brand him as insane.
Story Relied On.
Great confidence is put In the
effect Of her story. In fact, it is
no secret among those lawyers who
are technically called attorneys for
the defense that Miss Nesbit's story
will go hand in hand with the tale
OF Tweedledum and Tootsie" in
the minds of the jury.
| So next week is likely to bring
the turning point in the wnole
| case. Tuesday may find ThaW pack
ing up to 90 back to Pittsburgh as
he wishes. But it is just as pos
sible that Tuesday will find him
waiting to see what asylum he
must report to. At present the
case appears to be a very real
stand off"

To Seek Arrest of
Vehicle Tax Dodgers

Madison, Wis. Methods to detect
motor vehicle license dodgers" in
Wisconsin have been worked out and
will be put in force at The beginning
of next year, according to Secretary Of
State Fred R. Zimmerman.
No motor vehicle will be licensed
next year unless the applicant can
give the 1925 license plate number or
show how he came into possession of
the car, it has been decided. This is
the principal means of detecting dodg-
ers, it is said. Motor owners who can
not show that they possessed motor
will be required to pay fees for the
past year.
Information coming to the state de-
partment indicates that hundreds of
motor vehicle owners either escape
paying license fee entirely or trans
fer license plate from one vehicle to
another, contrary to the provisions of
the state law, Mr.. Zimmerman said.
Another source of loss in fees is
due to the fact that many transfers Of
ownership are not reported and the
fee of 81 not paid" the secretary Of
state said. "They will be discovered
largely under the new procedure re-
curing owners to present the old
license plate number. Where trans
fers were not recorded, owners will be
required to pay delinquent fee.
"a large portion Of the cost of reg
istration will be met by collection of
delinquent fees, it is believed"

Manufacturers Back
State C. T. A. Body

Madison.-Fourteen Wisconsin dairy
counties have already approved the
plan of the Wisconsin Manufacturers
association to finance the dues of one
COW testing association member in
each dairy county for two-year
period, and other counties are ready
to fall in line.
The plan was presented and explain
ed last Friday at the annual Normal
Institute and Extension Workers
Conference in Madison, and definite
action was taken by the following
County Agricultural agents who
agreed to accept the liberal offer and
apply it in their counties: w. A. Duff
fly, Barron county; J. N. Kavanaugh,
Brown county; H. M. Knipfel, Clark
county; ]. M. Walz, Douglas county;
j. B. Keenan,, Grant county; Jim
Lacey, Green Lake county; Stanley
Sand, Juneau county; w. E. Spreiter,
Lacrosse county; W. ]. Rogan, Mara
thon county; E. L. Liddel, Monroe
county; Robert Amundson, outagamie
county; John S. Klinka, Trempeleau
county; Milton Button, Washington
county and r. A. Peterson, Wood
county.
The w. M. A. COW testing plan was
Enthusiastically received by all county
agents in attendance at the confer
ence, and it's prompt adoption gives
full assurance of its success. In COM
menting upon it, Jim Lacey, county
agricultural agent in Green Lake
county, said: ~ can see no reason
why the plan should not work, and
several reasons why it should work
fine. 1t is a benefit to farmers and to
the dairy business in general. Fur
thermore, it is unselfsh in its aim
and practical in its application. To
induce farmers to keep books and to
Gull out improbable cows-there lie
two great, opportunities to do good,
and the Manufacturers association
is to be complimented for hitting up
on feasible plan of encouraging
farmers to do both"
In explaining the plan and its
operation to the county agents, Jerry
P. Riordan, director Of the Agricul-
tural Bureau Of the Wisconsin Manu-
facturers' association, said: "Remem-
Der that each member receiving our
aid must be a new member-one who
has not belonged to COW testing as
ISOLATION before. Draw up list OF
eligible dairymen and send it to me.
The selection Of single herd in each
county will be made from that list"
