LIMIUJ Kkynkbjex ZU uM Tal. VOL. XXXVIII. AUGUSTA, MAINE THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 11, 1007. NO, 87 FLOYD STICKS To Fast Day and Issues Annual Proclamation, Suggests That ail Churches Drop Differences April 25. Tells His People It Is a Duty to Rec ognize Influence of Religion. Concord. N. II., April 10.—Governor Charles M. Floyd in a proclamation is sued today setting apart Thursday, April 25. as Fast day. endorses the in stitution notwithstanding the attempts in the recent session of the Legislature to abolish it. The proclamation is as follows: “It is not within the province of the state to prescribe the forms of faith or worship. It is. however, its right and its duty to recognize the function and influence of religion in our social, civic and political life. No commonwealth can reach its highest efficiency if it re gards lightly Its sacred obligation to seek the protecting care and guidance of the Almighty God and to render rev erence and obedience to His holy v.ill. Therefore I believe it wise and good for the state to set apart a day for the proper recognition of this high and sa cred obligation. “I am not of those who think that this practice, honored by long usage, has lost its potency for good. I am of the opinion that the same earnestness of purpose ami effort that has marked uii* inovviiiini l*» rust uiiy u directed l secure its proper observ ance, would speedily restore the day to its former favor and usefulness. “In accordance with this conviction anil in conformity with Ions honored custom, I, Charles M. Floyd, governor of the state of New Hampshire, do hereby appoint Thursday, April 25th, 1907, as Fast day. "I would respectfully suggest the propriety of making the relation of re ligion to the welfare of the state a theme of consideration in all of our churches Sunday, April 21. and I would also recommend that on Fast day our citizens lay aside all denominational and sectarian differences and ass. m blj together ns one hotly in their re spective communities for purposes of religious worship, that our state as a whole may render devout and befitting acknowledgement of the overshadowing presence and power of the Supreme ik ing in all of our affairs.” ARRESTED AT LOS ANGELES.

He declared at the outset that ro mance and sentiment did not enter into the issue, it was not a question ol Stanford White's character or Evelyn Thaw’s sufferings; it was plain mattei of fact homicide. “A common, cowardly tenderloin murder,” as he termed it. The novel plea of “Dementia Ameri cana,” made by Attorney Delmas ai the very close of his argument was at tacked by the district attorney and hok his scat upon the bench, the jurj was brought in and Harry K. Thaw was called to the bar. “CJontlemen of hte jury.” sai l Mr Jerome. The murmuring of voices ceased am fin oppressive silence prevailed. A1 eves were fixed on the district attorney Tiie stillness was finally broken by thi calling of the jurors' names. “CentU'inen of th” jury." said Mr Jerotne, arising after Justice Fitzger aid had cautioned tile court officers tIvps i!i one form or an other. There is here every element to arouse your passion, You can't nelp it. But hen you consider your ver dice, you must lay it aside and govern yourself solely by intellectual process es." On the question of reasonable doubt, Mr. Jerome said it was such a doubt as man would act upon in matters pertaining to his own private affairs and nothing more. "It must be a doubt of which you reasonably or .morally certain. A rea sonable doubt is not a mere whim. "On the subject of insanity you jur ors were carefully examined” said Mr. Jerome. "You swore to take the law as it was laid down by the court. You swore you would accept only that form of insanity which deprives a man of the knowledge .if the nature and quality of his act. or that is wrong— that is, against the current morality of the community. "You did not swear not to bring this 'Dementia Americana’ into the case." Mr. Jerome sarcastically repeated the title Mr. Delmas had yesterday given to Thaw s form of insanity. He hissed it every time it occurred in his argu ment. 'Dementia Americana.’ men. has no place In your verdict. You swore to take no higher law than the law of your state. 'Dementia Americana!'

'Dementia Americana’—that fluants the woman for whom it kills, through the capitals of Europe for two years as its mistress. Is that the higher law? "No. gentlemen, the higher law does not hide itself under the hem of a woman's skirt. 'Dementia Americana'—is that the law which puts a woman up to tell of her shame, or misfortune as the case may be—in the hope it will shield a worthless life from a people’s just de mand? "That is not the kind of law you swore to accept and if you do it. men, you violate your oaths." Mr. Jerome took up the evidence of the witnesses of the direct case, and with the aid of a largo diagram show ed the jury how Thaw moved about the roof garden and before the shoot ing. Ho referred to the testimony of .Tames C'inch Smith. ‘‘Do vou remember Truxtou Beale and the ease of two men atol a woman?' Thaw asked Smith.

A Score of Infuriated Women Attack Squad of Police. Officers Have Worst of the Affair Until Hose Is Turned On. West Warren, Mass.. April 10.—A powerful stream of water from the mill’s fire hose dispersed a crowd of strikers from the sates of the Thorn dike Mills today, after the police had been attacked by 20 infuriated women who slapped their fares, pulled thfcir hair and called them names. One of the women. 55ofia Kogut, was clubbed and badly injured. The police squad, numlicring six officers, were powerless to break up the mob until the mill offi cials dragged out the hose and turned a good sized stream on the crowd. Tile street was cleared in a few seconds. 'Although it was nnnounred last night the three mills of the Thorndike t'o., where there has been a strike since Monday, would shut down today, a few of the help appeared at the gates this morning end were admitted.

The col lision which followed the policemen's hats were knocked off. their faces slapped, their hair pulled and they were called all sorts of names. The officers withstood the attack and the abuse for some minutes and then drew their clubs ?m«l revolvers. The officers chiton that one of the wo* moil. Zofin Kogr.t. w.ls particularly abus ive and violent in her attaek and one of the officers struck her on the head. Finding that the policemen were un atile to handle tin- crowd, the mill offi i ils ord'Ted out the fire hose and a cou p’e of hands pushed the nozzle through the gates. A minute later the water came through with a rush and 'the stream struck full in the face of a dozen strik ers, who were within 10 feet Of the gates. Some of those wtlio were near were thrown by the stream, others scattered in ail directions and in a feiw seconds tho streets in front of the mill worn cleared. The operatives .were not molest ed as they ieft for the night. Iteforo the strikers dispersed as tho result of turning on the hose, they re moved a number of pickets from fences and smashed nearly all the windows in the front of the building of tile lower door. After water had been shut off from ihe house a number of strikers met farther down tli street and were addressed liy one of the officials nr the mill and urged to return to work. The speech apparently had rriwwl offrud for* f hig pi'piiinp *1 mcctintr of nearly “00 of the' strikers was lidd in i hall, ami is was voted to return to work in the morning. LINEMEN QUIT WORK.

Boston. Boston, April 10.—Three weeks ago tli outlook for the Boston American league club was rosy-hued. and it looked as if the team would go out and make a light for the championship of th league, and not without some hop*? of winning it. Then “Chick” Stahl began to show’ signs of breaking down, ami the complex ion of things changed at once. With th-> passing of Stahl another cloud appeared and further complicated matters It is believed, however, that the selec ;ion of a field captain will get tile club into shape again for a hot campaign. It I would take a prophet and the son of a I_.... _ _____ nt time. I't is safe to say, however, that the Boston team will be In a position to make a fight from the start to the finish. Detroit. Detroit, April 10.—Never since its ad mb^siore into dhe American League shas Detroit appeared so formidible at th*; wind-up of spring practice, as do tho Tigers today. The men are now all in excellent shape. The addition of Ross ir.an has strengthened the Infield greatly, if Leary, Coughlin and Schaeffer have been fielding and bitting better this spring than ever before. Altogether the team looks 20 per cent, stronger than last year, and should b^ pretty close to the first division, if not there. St. Louis. St. Louis, April 10.-— If St. Louis is to have a pennant winner the Browns are the ones who will bring it. Last year [that team made a sensational race during midsummer that caused the critics to give McAleer’s team a look in for the pennant. Tills season two weak points, right field and third base, have been strengthened by e in the line-up. while Birming ham and Congalbon are also suffering from injuries. Even with this handicap Cleveland looks to have the strongest team that has even represented this city, and the outlook is especially pleasing in the fact that Manager Lajoie devoted much of the time during the training trip to drilling the men on "inside" base ball. Cleveland’s pitching staff took’? good this season, showing up we!!, while Joss. Hhoodes, Hess and Bernard are showing old-time form and Moore se^ms Ho have entirely recovered from the in jury to his foot. Washington. Washington, April 10.—The Washington fans pin their hopes to Manager Cantil lon. The new leader is an expensive man. an experienced manager and one who usually gets everything out of a ball player. The team itself might be strong er, but even with the present line-up the of the players was interrupted for a time by the death of “Cozy” Dolan.

Biddcford Record Asks Question About Sale of Ball Team. Das the Biddeford baseball team really been sold or hits there merely be--n a change in the active manage ment'.’ That is tlie question baseball followers are asking. It was at first reported that there had been a sale but the Re-cord is in formed that tliere has not been yet for reason that whatever deal has been agreed to between Manager Gilpatric and Messrs. Kerns. Alien and Chesley must be sanctioned by thee stockhold er.-. It lias not been laid before them yet but Mr. Gilpatric tells tlie Record that there is no doubt about their sanction being given. So far as he is concerned, he says, his active manage meat has ended. Manager Gilputric came in for more or less criticism during the last season but results count and from the result d his management credit is due him. He gave Biddeford a State champion team, much more expensive than the team of the preceding year. He made a considerable outlay on the grounds and paid every bill and was able to gi\e stockholders an X per cent, divi dend. That is pretty good and there is no reason why this veat’s team should not nan nut as well. Tlie announcement that so many members of last year's team would probably be here was read with pleas ure. 'pinion of the State League propo sition differs. A good many would like to see the team start in with the league and if the organization should not prove a success there would still he independent ball to tall back on.— Biddeford Record. McDonough for biddeford. Portland Player Signs With the Club's New Management. The new management of the Bidde lord baseball team announced that they had signed Mike McDonough of Portland to cover the right garden and be substitute first baseman for the Biddeford team. McDonough has accepted the terms offered him and while it is yet quite it while be fore the season opens it is thought •hat lie will be a member of the team this season. McDonough is well known in this city and there is 1 o need of an intro duction as to his abilities to the local fans. He is a good player and has been one of the most dangerous hat ters that lias ever played the game in this city.

New York, April 10.—E. H. Adams of the swimming committee of the New York A. C. has received a request from William M. Orthwein of the Missiori A. C. of St. Louis for a dual meet to take place on April 25, and as the date is quite satisfactory to the Mercury Footers the schedule of the trip is now complete. The original idea was to have the New York team .make an excessive tour and meet seven or eight other clubs, but it was found that the men were unwilling to leave their business for any length of time, and the sched i ule was cut down to suit them. They i will now make a flying trip of it. leav i ing on the morning of the 23d of this month, and being home in time to be at their work by the morning of the 27th. On the evening of the 23d conclusions will be tried with the East Liberty j Aquatic Club of Pittsburg: on the 211 It the strong Chicago ’A. A. team will be tackied in the Windy City, and on the 23th the boys of Missouri A. C. will be met at St. Louis. The New York A. C. men who are expected to take the trip are ttie fol lowing: C. M.

At a glance over the list will loll, the swimmers are in force, but the wa ter polo team is weakened by the loss of Rud Goodwin. Ogden Reid, and Dave Hesser. who are unable to ac company the squad. This leaves only Hanley on the forward line and there is a general feeling in aquatic circles that to defeat the formidable Western sextex. with a couple of substitutes on the line of attack, is beyond human possibilities.

BANGOR DOES NOT CARE Manager Paige Willing to Have Bidde ford Leave State League. 1 am glad of it.” said Manager Paige of tile Bangor lub and prominent in the promotion of the Maine league when his attention was called to the report that Biddeford will leave the State league. “It was against my best judgment to take on Biddeford in the first piaee as I could not see how a team could be supported there. The attendance on week day games is com paratively nothing and while they turn cut well on Saturdays v.hen the mills arc not tunning, we could not well give them all the Saturday games, and a rainy Saturday or two would he ruin ous. "The proposition was for the league to lease the grounds for $500 for the season. About $200 would have been heeded to put the place in repair and the preliminary expenses would have made it cost $1,000 to ‘raise the cur tain' on league ball in Biddeford. “With Biddeford out! we will have a compact five-club league with every prospect of finishing the season. Base ball is hot and growing hotter in Port land. Lewiston and Augusta. I have faith that Bangor will not be behind and as for Waterville the prospects are very bright there. “We shall be obliged to re-arrange if ww-ill nut ho :i SPri ous matter. This will give us more open dates anil an opportunity to take on independent teams for exhibition games, which will add to the interest, as the people are always ready' for a change. 1 am glad that the Biddeford matter is settled as it takes off quite a load of worry. A meeting of the league will be held, probably about the 16th to revise the schedule and arrange other matters.” MORE PLAYERS FOR BANGOR. Robt. Webb of West Sullivan was in Bangor. Tuesday, and had a talk with Manager Paige. Webb Is a brother of Howard Webb, now in the New Eng land league, and is a good all ’round man. He will be given a try-out and looks good. Two Oldtuwn players. Arthur Simmons and Arthur F. Conger, want to play with Bangor. Cooger has played some in the Con necticut league and Simmons is a well known all 'round man and handy with the stick. They will probably be given a chance to show what they can do. Tom Bridges of Bueksport. now at Bates, would like to show what he can do and will probably be given the op portunity. Manager Paige w ill probably close no more contracts w ith local players until some time later. He has men enough for two teams on the string but is looking for battery material more than anything else. Pitchers will always be considered. Manager Paige is anxious to laud Mike McDermott as a player-manager and lias made the former Bangor play er an offer. McDermott would be just the man for lirst base and to act as a CPllPrill hq lo non. 11OCII tRn tnom H<* will he olfered strong inducements to come here.—Bangm News.

Championship Not Involved In Mel lody-Sullivan Bout. Milwaukee. April 10.—Matty Baldwin of Boston Tuesday night had success ful results in his efforts to put out t.vo men in five rounds each. H< was scheduled to meet Johnny Clabbie of Milwaukee in the first bout and Johnny started in on holding tac tics at the outset in the hope of stall in* the match to a finish. After being cautioned repeatedly Clabbie was dis qualified in the fourth round. Baldwin then started in with Billy Roche, a Boston boy. who has been starring in fights in the upper peninsu la cf Michigan since yoming West Roche was clearly outclassed, but was willing to tight. He was being so piti fully puirmeled. however, in the fourth round that his seconds threw up the sponge. In both fights Baldwin was so far the superior of the two boys pitted against him that the contests were farces. Baldwin was brought West to fight Jack O'Leary, but O’Leary tore a lig ament while training and is out of the game for the rest of the season. CHAMPIONSHIP NOT INVOLVED. Will Not Be At Stake When Mellody and Sullivan Meet At Los Angeles. Los Angeles, April 10.—No welterweight championship will be at stake when Honey Mellody. who holds the title by virtue of his victory over Joe Walcott, and Mike Twin Sullivan meet here on thr skiddoo day of this month. Monday the principals to the proposed bout, with their managers and Promoter Tom Me Carey, met at the latter's office and had a high old time. They could not agree and finally when it looked as if they would agree to dis agree McCarey. with his oil can, poured the smoother on the troubled waters. He suggested that the weight be 145 pounds and that the championship problem be eliminated. This suited Mellody and Manager John Mooney and also Mike Twin, so that the bout will be something on the same order as that between Mel lody and Willie Lewis, only that the pub lic will be welt informed of it before tie contest takes place.

Young Mrs. Thaw smiled as Jerome described ln r dress. “How does Thaw come into the life of this young woman? We lirst find him wrapping $iifl notes about the stems of Anvrican Beauty roses and tossing them to her over the footlights. We find him meeting her at a chorus girl's dinner. “We find him offering n weak moth er a competence to help him win the* daughter. He was paying 'honorable i court’ to her. says ?>ir. Delmus.

She t ad r.olhii g before her but a life of hard work, here was a man she loved, here was a haven of rest and because she Joved him so well, she east it nil aside.” Air.

The affidavit itself, the district at torney continued, contained a complete itinerary of Evelyn’s journey through Europe, which site herself had told Hummel. •’Mention is also made of the finding of a small silver box in Thaw's room in Paris containing needles and a hypodermic syringe and this.

The above question is often asked con cerning I)r.

He would even sit at tile table with Dillingham who told Kvel>n the stories of his per version. is there anything in all this evi dence to show tli it Harry Thaw shol and killed Standforo White lie did no! know the nature and quality of hit art. or that the act was wrong?’’ •Mr. Jerome reviewed the letter: Thaw wrote from Paris and PitlsburiJ to Attorney I.ongfillow and whir! were intriKbw d to show the effect o Kvelyn’s story on the young man': mind. He declared that the letter: showed all through them the vriter't appreciation of legal rights am \v rengs’. “They are nothing more. continue-1 Mr. Jerome, “than the erratic and vul gar production of a rich illiterate, whs always had had his ivn wav in life until he was locked up in the cits, prison." Deferring again to Thaw’s sanity, Distrii-t Attorney Jerome said he knew enough to automobile all through eu rope with Kvelyn Nesbit anti knew enough to write to his attorney to see tiie girl through the custom house when he landed. The will and condi eil next were taken up and discussed. The will showed a cowardly fear of death, declared the prosecutor, but nothing more. "So you see. gentlemen.” he went on, it was easy for such a cowardly man as this to withoid his ‘Dementia Americana’ for three years and then kill tiie victim who could not see him approach.” "Mr. Jerome again picked up the will and held it aloft. “Where is the delusion in that will? I)i In't he leave his money to tiie right people? Where is the delusion in his reference to the 24th street house? Hasn't the girl described it: where is tiie delusion there? Don’t let us as sume she was telling the trutn onee ami in the next breath say tiie same thing shows that Thaw had delusions. “Now turn to the mother’s testimony. When he went.home the girl had thrown him over again, perhaps for the very reason mentioned in that affidavit. There is nothing to show there was any oilier reason. He loved her all right, love.l her in his own brute way. There is the seene in the ohureh when the music moved hint and lie shed tears. Were was the delusion there? He was nervous and worried on the uay of his marriage. Why. Kvelyn was not 21 and I he was afraid her mother would not give her consent. Did Thaw show a de lusion? Didn’t it rather show a sense of the requirements of the law? “What one of the many people who must have known him during his life has been called here to show that he was ever irrational? No one. ••Did his mother say he was ever ir rational? No. She simply said he was nervous and depressed and after we hear of what happened before lie left New York, 1 don’t wonder. “Now for the witnesses. First. Dr. Willey. I see Mr. Dolmas does not place him among the experts. He seems to tr04 and found him depressed and nerv ous. That is only natural. Any man who had ha 1 the interviews Tliuw bad with the girl lie loved and saw haft- go to his hated rival and make the atfiflavit sk“ did. he would also be depressed and dejected. “Tlie doctor also saw Thaw in prison and found that Thaw hud stuffed j s. iiie pap. r in the cell door keep out I i l,lvoft oc rt.it ti» i mill PtT fvi tlv natural, is it not? Thaw told l)r. l’intrnrrmn that his counsel dcrirod ro put him in a mail house and that a eonspinn y was on t*«-t t*> eonnnit him 10 an asplnni so as to prvvvnt t:v' l*'** >f White from l•■•ing made pubis in i eourt. “For that reason hr changed his conn I «M'l, a rational procei .'.ins if Tiv.tw want nl to tako the chance of lighting out his case before a jury. Now as to -Mr. P'emnr. He merely testified Hurt Thaw was nervous, that's ail. "Dr. Evans anil Dr. Wagner came next. Evans toiil you that Thaw suffered an exnggi rated ego. That is nier* ly another j name for vanity. Dr. Bingaman when asked about it said that Thaw always had a great opinion of himself. I “Evans told you that Thaw had a I brain storm—a bettor term would lie pa jiar.oia of a mild form. No one ever heard I of a brain storm before and Evans may have wanted to make of it a classic ■phrase. Well, lie lhas at least sneers ded in .uaking it known the world lover. For I .vo uays you will recell we tried to imd a definition for a brain storm, but could not find out. “We were told that Thaw was like a rudderless sliip which had lost its bal ance wheel, cast off from its moorings and the nearest we g»t to a definition was a mental fulminatinn, a psychic ex plosit n. “When Dr. Wagner took the stand ho said Dr. Evans’ explanation of Thaw's state of mind when lie killed Wliite wa° a go >1 one. When asked if he knew n( a simil ir case recorded in medical liter ature, out of tlie many eases he said ho knew, lie cited this one.’’ Mr. Jerome then read the case of a woman which has several times been referred to in the course of the trial. After reading this case Mr. Jerome remarked: “I think one can truly say, ns Dr. Ilirsch, that there is ns much similarity between this ease and that of Harry Thaw as there is between smallpox anil a broken leg. “After Evans and Wagner came Mrs. Caine. She merely testified ithat Thaw glared every time he saw While. Noth ing unnatural in that. This is practically all the eviilcneo with the exception of that of the expert which the defence lias submitted in sup Jp ut of the plea of insanity.” Mr. Jerome then rehearsed the testinio ny of the state's experts and dwelt upon the* fact that they all cxpr**F.s»-d tin- fa that Tliaw know tie* nature uf his tni and knew that it was wrong. “ilvery one of those experts a Imitt* d Itliat at t!i*' time* of t*iie- killing Tiiaw h..d ji know!' dge of what he was doing, l>u! said it was an insane knowledge. Tin y could net tell the difference between sane and insane knowledge, hut said the only knowledge that Thaw had was insane. “Mow let us come back to the killing There is r it, in any of the acts of tii.it night, one thing that shows a lack of appreciation of what he was doing. You remember the conversation with Mr. Smith? Was then* anything irrational there And after tin- killing, did he t*:uy that he was tin* agent of Almighty God who had h* cn directed to make way with this ravish tier jmk k a prim.

Justice Fitzgerald ordered a 2j-xniniit*» r. e* ss before beginning his charge to the jury. Jusiice Fitzgerald began bis charge by saying: “Gentlemen of the jury, it now becomes my duty to give t«» y»»u such instruction? upon the lmw os are necessary to enable you to perform your duties as jurors and to define to you the legal guides bv which you are to be governed in ensideriug the evidence and reaching your conclu sions.

THE THAW TRIAL. (Continued from Page Five.) premeditation rwitli a design to effect the death of the person killed. If it is com mitted without premeditation or deliber ation, but with a design to kill, it is mur der in the second degree. If the homicide js committed in the healt of passion, with out design to kill, but witli a dangerous weapon, it would he manslaughter in the Jirst degree. All lesser eriminal homi cides are classed as manslaughter in the gerond degree. “Homicide which is not criminal Is classed as justifiable or excusable Homi cide is justifiable when committed in the lawful defence of the slayer or his wife or children, brother or sister, master or servant, or other person when tnere is reasonable ground to apprehend that a crime is about to be committed against such person and where is imminent danger of the design being carried out. "Homicide is excusable when by acci dent or misfortune it is committed in lawfully correcting a child or doing some other lawful act in a lawful way. "Homicide is also excused by insanity. The lew is contained in Sections 20 and 21 of the penal code. Section 20 says an act done bv an imbecile, idiot, lunatic or in sane person is not a crime. This language js very broad and would at first glance appear to apply to all persons of unsound riiml with regard to the degree of the j Insanity. "But Section 21 limits Section 20 as fol lows: "A person is not excused from rriminni liability as an idiot, imbecile, lunatic or insane person except upon proof that at the time of committing the alleged crime he was laboring tinder such a defect of reason as eitlie«r not to know the nature or qdality of the act or to know that the act was wrong.’ "Before murder in the first degree can be done, a distinguished jurist has said It must appear that there was some act of deliberation and premeditation. This of necessity is for the consideration of The jury. What may be deliberation and premeditation in one man might, fall far short tn another. Men differ physically and mentally. Finch ease must depend upon its own facts, one case; may be; proved by a long train of circumstances, anothe r by a fe w sharp facts. "Ar.'l in still another ease the jury may find in the net. in thee manner in which it was elon»\ the- weapon used, the time anil im* plan*, in*- (irsposni*#11 or in victim, everything necessary to satisfy them of tho presence of deliberation .an*! premedi tat ion. “If you sir** satisfied that there was a design to eff«*ctt the* death bat without de liberation and premeditation, you may find murler in the second df gToe. Tho defendant may be convicted under this Indictment of murder .in the first or sec ond degree, or manslaughter in tin* first degree. “VVIun it appears that tie* defendant romir.itled a crime and th. ro reason able douht of which degree he i-? guiliy, he can be convicted of tie* I owes: only. "As I have tried to impress upon you rinoe this trial began th** character of the victim furnishes neither exons? nor justification. The general character of the victim Is jiot the Issue, and no mat ■ter how had he may have been he was entitled to the protection of the law. •'The personal avenge mr private or public urn»ngs is not recognized under our law. Every person is under the protec tion of the law. good or bad, exalted or humble, nil are alike covered by its shield. Tiie plea of not guilt v is a. denial of every material allegation charged against the defendant, and such evidence may be presented ac? wrill offset those allegations and establish his sanity at flu* time of the commission of tihe act. The law pre sumes that sanity is the normal condition of man, and where insanity is the pflea a* the condition of mind of the defendant at the time of the act, that becomes the crucial question of the jury to decide. “If there existed in the mind of th** de fendant an insane illusion it is not an excuse unless tho illusion is of such a character that if true iit would result in his injury. “Proof of partial or incipient insanity is Hot sufficient n.s an excuse. The settled law of the state is that so long as that jw>w« r to appreciate the nature and qual ity of the art is present, no man nms* commit rim** if In* would escape th** con Bcqucnces. "If be cf*cks. aims and discharges a re volver. as to is alleged there, did he know •when he cocked and fired the weapon that the net was wrong and that it would probably destroy a life, ami did he know that the act was forbidden by law7 That is the question which the law must have answered. "Under the rule of evidence the story’ been told hv her to the defendant, is ad mitted not as affecting the character of the deceased, bat that you might con sider what elteet such story had on tho defendant's mind. In considering Iho.v story, her credibility as a witness is higli lv material an 1 everything that she has said or done must be taken into consid eration. tier admissons regarding the re lations existing lietiween herself and the defendant prior and subsequent to this tragedy and prior to tier marriage, or day other art shoudi be weighed in con fection with the story. "A wide latitude was allowed on cross examination. You should give due credit ,0 all that was developed along with oth er facts. The letters, the will >nd the codicil Which are lie fore you were no; emitted under any ruling as to their com petency, but by consent of counsel “There has been no denial entered here 'hat death resulted from pistol shot •nurds inflicted by the defendant. 'The legal presumption is that the de fendant was sane when he committed the aat. it was not incumbent upon the pros ecution to Introduce preliminary testimo ny to show that he was sane. “The burden of proof is upon the de fence. Whoever denies sanity must prove that insanity is present. The- law assumed 'hat all men are sane, and it assumes ail n>en innocent. The burden of proving a crime is on the prosecution, but the bur Pn of overthrowing sanity Is on the per fcn claiming it. The defendant is enti ced to the benefit of (the doubt in this case. The hypothetical questions which were answered by the experts assumed certain cts, and the answer was only the o-piny nn of the expert of those assumed facts. °u 3X6 not obliged, nor are you permit j io accept opinions as you' would con5=*^"rit\gr the testimony of e iCa* experts, you are to consider their and knowledge, and you e labelled as compound, or compound ed whiskey. “Imitation whiskey will be labelled as such.” The attorney general names to fol lowing labels to apply to the four classes: “(1) Semper Idem whiskey.

Congressman Lungwort h returned to Cincinatti from Washington Wednesday. In an interview he declared himself in favor ol the nomination of Secretary Taft a? the Republican candidate for Presi dent.

Senator Spooner Puts In Good Word For Upper House of Cangress. New York, April 10.—Senator John O. Spooner of Wisconsin was the guest of the Wisconsin Society of New York tonight and made the principal speech at the annual dinner of the society at the Waldorf-Astoria. Senator Spooner said in part: "As I am leaving it never to return too it let me say a few words about the United States Senate. It has been harshly and generally criticised upon various grounds. All in all it may be safely affirmed that it has fulfilled the office for which it was created. "The Senate has .been subject to much reproached upon the theory that having been made part of the tippoint ing power, with the President, its members practically have usurped tin function of nomination. So far as mv experience goes, lli»* charge is jin mi just cue. "The Senate has been greatly erlti zeii upon the theory that in amending treaties it has usurped the function of the President. When the constitution required the advice anil conseent of the Senate in the making of a treaty it certainly could not have intended that the Slnate should reject a treaty whose purpose believed to he import ant to the nation, but in some provi sion of which it saw danger, or ratify it withstanding its defect. "The people demand that railroad rebates and other unjust discrimina tions shall absolutely and permanently cease. This is a just demand and to accomplish their discontinuance it is necessary only the strict enforcement of laws already enacted. All good citizens are united without regard to party affiliations in the demand for the extermination of graft. But the noisy activity of the demagogue must be dis tinguished from the work of the real reformer, even where lie is too radical and goes too tar afield. "In the public service there is no safe place for passion, prejudice or overspeed. It is not always easy to diagonize correctly an evil, or to find u|T‘J 1 inr ir.il irmru>. lilt' safe eradication of evils which have ions continued and which permeate the great and complicated business of the people requires much of time and of patience and of perspective and of sense of proportion.” FORAKER DEFENDS ACTS. Says he is willing to abide By De cision of the People of Ohio. Canton, O., April 10.—In the presence of 1200 people Senator Joseph B. For aker at the Auditorum tonight de livered an address in which he defend ed his action as a servant of the peo ple of Ohio, and declared he is willing to abide by their decision in the future. The occasion of the address was the annual banquet of the Canton Board of Trade. Senator Foraker was down on the program to deliver an address on “Civic Pride,” hut his speech was largely directed to his work as senator and said that he means to always do his best in his own way. He was re ceived with much enthusiasm as he stepped forward to speak. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Natives report that Casablanca, Morocco, is surrounded by revolting Chaouia. tribesmen, who threaten to pillage the town and throw the Europ eans into the sea. The latter are seek ing refuge within the walls. The French cruiser Lalande is on the point of leaving this port for Casablanca. Sentence was passed Wednesday at Mays Landing, N. J. on Joseph J-abria lo and Mrs. John Buglie, convicted re spectively of murder in the first de gree and manslaughter in causing the death of John Buglie, the woman’s husband, f.abrialo was sentenced to be hanged and the woman to 10 years in prison and $100 fine. The Vatican Wednesday issued an official statement to the effect that the allegation that the information re ceived from Monsignor Monagnini when he was secretary of the Papal nunciature at Paris formed the basis for thi- decisions arrived at by the Vatican authorities, "is on a nar with other statements of the kind." The nine men who were on coal barge No. 1. which was lost in a slorm off the Florida coast on April 1, while being towed by tile naval collier Cae sar, have been Ian led at Galveston. Texas. They were taken off the bar;-;e by the German steamer Professor Woetmnnn off the Florida coast and taken to Galveston. Minister Fielding, acting premier, in answer to Mr. Broden in tlie House at Ottawa, Out., Wednesday, said that he had some impressions in regard to the request from the United States to send the war cruiser Detroit from Bostofi to the Great I-akes by way of the Canadian waterways, but as it was international subject lie would prefer not giving a definite answer until to morrow. A victory for the defence was se cured Wednesday in the trial at Chi cago of the Standard Oil Co. when Judge Landis, in United States dis trict court announced that the Stand ard Oil Co. may produce evidence showing that the company did not in tend to violate the law in the accep tance of unlawful rates. The court also decided that the shipper does not need to go further than a railroad sta tion to learn the legal rate. Robert M. Crowe, Pittsburg, Pa., shot himself in the abdomen in an at tempt to commit suicide, while in a box watching a vaudeville performance at the Grand Opera house Wednesday. Ethel Levy, one of the singers, was on the stage, when Crowe arose and pointed the revolver at her, shouting: “It’s all over.” Miss Levy fled from the stage and Crowe shot himself. He was taken to a hospital where it is said he cannot recover. Crowe at first said that domestic troubles caused his act, and later attributed it to financial difficulties. RESCUED HER PET DOG It Blew Into the Breakers and Woman Followed it. Atlantic City, N. J., April 10.—Dis regarding the chilly winds and angry surf, which beat with fury on the beach last evening, a handsomely gowned woman showed her pluck by Jumping off the boardwalk and wading out to sea a considerable distance to rescue her pet dog, which had been raughl up hy a strong puff of wind and hurled Into the breakers. The young woman waded out in water waist deep and caught the little animal as It was about to sink from exhaustion. Her handsome gown was ruined. MARKET REPORTS. NEW YORK STOCK MAhrtET. Features of the Day’s Dealing in All the Leading Stocka. Nf-w York, April 10.—The narrow pro fessional limitations of the present stock market continued very much in evidence nod ay. The inconsistency of the price movement was accepted as reflecting nothing more than the shifting senti ments of the professional traders seek ing to scalp a profit. The market seemed lu he tonally tree fnvxm either buying or selling trans lotions of a substantial char acter. With no selling pressure, on the market th* morn traders found it easy to advance prices as a result «,f their own limited buying and bidding up, hut the I utility ol th* process was demonstrated when they attempted to resell i*. mho profits. The buying demand being as torpid as the selling pressure the profit taking simply resulted in prices retracing the pre\i*ms course. Them was mu mmh news to account for tihe day’s movements. The sp*rii *»1 caution reflected in the di minishing activity os' th market is gen erally attributed to distrust .»i the per manence or genuinenesis of the pr« -cm easy conditions in the money market. The determination of th.* Interstate Com merce Commission to push tile examina tion of E. II. Harriman eoncerning e* r itain stock transactions, |»y legal pr ness, is regarded as of sinister import to the •securities market owing to the collection of tlie response of the market to ihe last inquiry in that field. A sharp recession in -the price of copper at the metal ♦•x ehango was a feat lire of the day.

When a child is sick you rarely think that its sickness is caused by worms, yet worms, either directly or indirectly, are the cause of three quarters of all the ills of childhood. Children, and often-times adults feci out of sorts, are irritable, feel listless and unretreshed in the morning; suffer wilh indigestion, have a variable appetite, foul tongue, offensive breath; hard and full belly, with occasional gripingsand pains about the navel; eyes heavy, and dull; itching of the nose; short, dry cough; grinding of the teeth; slow fever; and often in children, convulsions—in the majority of cases the cause of all the trouble is worms though you may not suspect their presence.

They wen- not I disappointed. Billeting the millinery department was like stepping from I mid-winter t mid-summer. Tic fashions !*»r tin* coming spring and summer arc radically different from these id any previous season, there is so much beauty, steffi elegance, and distinctiveness in this large display of exclusive millinery that the writer finds that words cannot do justice to their beauty or intrinsic worth.

One Augusta gentleman who is an enthusiastic farmer in the way of raising the smaller varieties, is rather discouraged with the heavy fall of snow during the past few days, and is afraid that on account thereof some of his recent labor in the farming line has gone for naught. He is very fond of lettuce and as he found in a corner of his garden a spot where the sun had in his opinion warmed the earth sufficiently to allow of the planting of j seed, he put in some last Sunday, and I carefuly roped off the lettuce patch to I keep the dogs from running over it. Things were looking first rate until Monday night when the snow com i menced to come down, but since that I time has come a change, for instead of bare ground there are now about Id j inches of snow, and in addition to that i the snow is so doep that it has cov I crea up the sticks which marked the boundaries of his lettuce patch so that i.e has lost his bearings and don t know just where it is.

The annual reports of the secretary, treasurer and board of trustees for the past year were submitted and accept ed, and there was also work in the de gree. The exercises of the evening closed with the service of refreshments in the grill room, which were enjoyed by a large number of the members from Augusta, Haliowell and Uardiner, and the enjoyment was continued un i til a late hour. The lodge begins the fourth year of its existence under the most natter ing circumstances. Its financial con dition is most satisfactory. The in crease in membership duilug the past year lias been large and is still grow ing. great improvetm nts have been made in the quarters, they having been enlarged by the addition of a tine banquet hall, with till of the modern improvements, so tiiat the lodge now lias one of tile most comfortable homes to be found among any of the secret societies of the State. The management of the affairs of the lodge by the retiring board of of ficers has been of a nature that has given satisfaction of all. and there is no doubt that those who have been chosen to conduct its business for the next 1- months will be equally suc cessful in tin- discharge of their duties.

Every year overwork, worry and dissipation causes the physical break down of thousands of men in this fair land. In these days of strenuous competition every man must do his best, but when nervous troubles, loss of vigor and general debility come into a man's life, success goes out of it. Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is exactly the tonic you require at this crisis of your life, it is based upon the knowledge of nature’s reserve forces.

General Mather certified to its genuineness, and in his card of certification, which is still preserved here ho stated that he procured the tool himself from John Hanks, a relative of Lincoln. with whom the latter worked splitting: rails in the winters re ferred to. After General Mather had secured the maul he showed it to Mr. Lincoln. who was a personal friend of his, and the lat ter said that as far as he was able to judge the tool was the Identical one that he used, and he added that it John Hanks said it mas the maul, it was. for Hanks knew, and he was a truthful man.

Indian Government. “The Idea which seems to be preva lent In the East that the Indians of the Indian Territory still live in tepees and ten*s and go about naked should be relegated to the rear with that antiquated Idea that all men of the West are wild end wooly," said Judge J. H. Shepard of McAlester, I. T., to a reporter for the Washington Post. “It is true that some of the Indans live in shacks, but as a rule they have comfortable homes, many of them liv ing in mansions. And they live us white people do. The average Indian, a member of one of the five civiliz* d tribes, is equal to the average white person In the Territory in education. They have their own schools where their chi'dren learn to read from books printed in their own language, and they hive newspapers. “They have their own forms of gov ernment, and you may be surprised to kn rw that each tribe has a constitu tion, and has had for 60 years. It is patterned after the Constitution of the United States. They also have bodies which correspond to our legislative, judicial and executive branches, and they hold elections. “The Cherokee Indian is industrious and successful as a farmer, but the Choctaws and Chickasaws, who are better provided for in the way of lands, prefer to employ white men to till the soil for them." Old Indian Armlets. In a jeweler’s store at Eufala. I. T., there were recently exhibited two arm lets made of metal and of the pattern worn extensively by the Indians a century ago. The armlets were found in an old Indian burying ground on the banks of a creek twenty-two miles west of Eufaula. Evidently they had clasped the arms of some Indian brave who had been buried there, and the sands had drifted away, leaving the armlets exposed long after the remains of the Indian had passed to dust. The armlets are of the pattern that v. r i t u n. the government in the early days. Each of the armlets found bears the emblem of the government, and there are in the shield fifteen stars, indicating that at the time they were there there were fifteen states in the Union.—Jewelers Circular-Weekly. Our Wasteful Boiler Rooms. The use of superheated or ad-lieated steam has liuw extended to all classes ot steam engines, and these auaptat’ons have established the now well-known feature, that economy is obtainable by the clltniration of saturation «>r moisture, and in especial. that the source of major losses bv’cylinder condensation is direct- ly and favorably affected by the intro- I auction of superheatocl vapor.

Emperor Nicholas of Russia has signed a decree giving the families of officers or soldiers killed in the suppression of disorders or mutinies, or who lo~.t their Peculiar Properties exist in flour that is made from Winter Wheat. Flour thus manufact ured differs greatly from flour made from Spring Wheat. Winter Wheat for many weeks is cov ered with mow and is frozen in the ground; having been sown in the Fall to sprout in the early Spring davs, it seems to be richer because of its'long contact with the earth, in the element* most needed for building the body, namely, the Phosphates, Lime and Carbon. KRUSO PASTRY BISCUIT FLOUR

made from Winter Wheat by a special process, is especially adapted for making pastry, biscuits, cake, waffles, dumplings, mufflns, etc. No other flour can compare with it for these purposes. It is true that special care to make raised bread with KRUSO must be ex ercised, but 6uch bread will be found to be.delicious and more nutritious ir#th« end than when made from other brands.
