THE SUM AT OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, -MARCH 31, 1907. THAW'S MIND PUT TO SEVERE TEST fj Gives Evidence of Sanity, : Which Makes Jerome Call for Time Extension. WANTS EXPERT EVIDENCE .Lunacy Commission Shuts Out Ham ! llton's Opinion and Calls for Mc J Gulre's Jerome Irritated at i Failure of His Programme. : NEW YORK, March SO. The plans of the Thaw lunacy commission to com plete Its work today and to submit a report to Justice Fitzgerald MorfJay ; ' morning as to the present mental Con dition of the slayer of Stanford Whit nere upset late this afternoon by an ap ' ' peal from District Attorney Jerome to be allowed to .produce more witnesses before I i the commission reaches 'a decision. After ; - fin all-iay .session the commission aa t journed until next Tuesday morning, at '(which time It will hear experts offered ! 1 by the District Attorney. -Chairman Mo- ; ciure served notice, however, that the ? -witnesses will be compelled to confine i ! themselves to facts and opinions which ' ideal with the present condition of Thaw and .will not be allowed to go into de : ' tailB .of the past or future. ; Jerome's First Chance at Thaw. Thaw, was under direct examination by the commissioners for more than three ?hours today and then for forty-live mln i 'tiles he was under the"flre of -Mr. Jerome ! on cross-examination. This cross-exam-jination was allowed'by the commission only after a vehement protest from the 'j prosecuting officer that he had not been .Allowed sufficient latitude in the inquiry. Knjoying his first opportunity of ques tioning the, defendant. Mr. .Jerome at t, tempted to. go Into Thaw's past life, but ' objections to this line of examination by i Thaw's counsel were sustained by the i commission and held the District Attor .: ,ney to the direct iwsue before the lunacy board whether Thaw is capable, is weakening the character of the proceed- -inBS against him and is rationally ad i vising his counsel. ' , Hamilton Put to Silence. Thaw's direct and cross-examinations Jtoday were held behind closed doors and i i the commission took extraordinary pre :; cautions to have the hearing kept se , 'cret- The attorneys connected with the I'jprosecution were cautioned not to dis ' cuss the case in any way. When Thaw's ordeal was ended, the doors were thrown ' open, and it was announced that the exe ' "cutlve sessions were at an end'. As soon as the session became public, 'Sir. Jerome called Dr. Hamilton to the ; 'stand. The commission had summoned ' Dr. Hamilton. As the alienist took, the stand, however. Thaw's counsel pleaded jthe professional privilege to bar any tes timony to be offered by him. Dr.-Hamilton himself - asked to be instructed on : 'this poln. Mr. Jerome maintained that ; the defense, by introducing Dr. Hamilton i s a witness in the trial, had waived the privilege. The commission held' that, as ,the privilege had not been waived before It. Dr. Hamilton could not testify as to his personal examinations of Thaw Jerome Grows Angry. Mr. Jerome took but a desultory in terest in the proceedings after this . until it seemed that the commission was about to close its inquiry. Then he jumped to his feet, protested that ' he had been hampered in the lunacy ' proceedings by the commission "bar ring pertinent testimony," declared the ..commission had refused to "illuminate - its Intelligence" from documentary evi dence which he presented and had neglected to hear expert testimony. He asserted with some feeling that if he were allowed the proper latitude he could prove beyona a reasonable doubt that Thaw is insane today and . incapable of advising counsel In a ra- tional manner. Mr. McClure told Mr. Jerome that, if he could produce any experts who . could srive a competent opinion as to Thaw's present state of mind, the com mission would hear them next Tues day morning. "That is all I desire," said the Dis trict Attorney. Thaw Stands Test 'Well. ' When the public session began Mr. 'Jerome seemed irritable and was con- ' jBtantly thereafter involved In wordy 'clashes with members of the commis sion. - His insistent manner of urging -that- he had a right to adduce addi "ttoral testimony before the commission '' rendered its X'erdict was generally re- ' 'trarded as a concession that Thaw had ,tThade a favorable impression during ' Jits long examination. During the Dis- '"trlct Attorney's cross-examination, it was said. Thaw comported himself most creditably and answered Mr. Jer ome's sharp, pointed questions with calmness anad deliberation. - Thaw appenred jubilant when the yublic was allowed to enter the court room. To a. reporter who leaned over mid congratulated him on the show ing he had made. Thaw replied: "Thank you very much, but I thought that was to be kept a secret" Thaw's attorneys expressed them selves as entirely satisfied with the linal stages of their client's severe examination. Altogether he was on the stand about six hours, - counting Thursday's session of the commission. Mr,. Jerome's cross-examination, one attorney declared, did not shake Thaw In the least. Mr. Jerome declined to Ulscusg the hearings. He seemed much disappointed at the ruling which shut ,-out Dr. Hamilton's testimony, the phy sician having already gone on record "as saying that Thaw is a paranoiac 1 with but a slight chance of recovery. Guards and Counsel Testify. During the public session the com mission examined four prison guards '. one of them Thaw's personal warden In the courtroom and a visiting physi cian to the Tombs. All declared that .Thaw had acted rationally ever since nls incarceration. One said that Thaw had a haunted look in his eyes when he first came to the' Tombs, but it be- ' gan to disappear last September. D. -M. Jiplmas and Clifford Hartrldge, Thaw's counsel, also took the stand. They declared Thaw had fully com prehended every phase of the trial and had made helpful suggestions from time to time. Mr. Jerome asked Mr. 'Hartrldge if Thaw had not repeatedly expressed a desire to address the court. 'Mr. Hartrldge said he could recall no such instance.' Asked if his associate . counsel had not informed him of .Thaw's wishes along this line, Mr. Hartridge was silenced by an objec tion from Mr. Gleason, which was sus tained by the commission. Mr. Jerome then said he wonld undertake no fur ther cross-examination of counsel. Call for Doctor McGutrc. Mr. McClure asked Mr. Jerome why Ir. McGuire, the regular Tombs physi cian, had not been produced before the commission. Mr. Jerome said he had not seen the physician today. "We last saw him in the District Attorney's office," interrupted Mr. Hartridge, "and we supposed he would surely be here." A messenger was sent to summon the doctor, but he could not be found. "Why has he absented himself?" in quired Mr. McClure, looking from one counsel to another. No answer was forthcoming and the chairman directed that the doctor be subpenaed for next Tuesday and at the same time remind Mr. Jerome that, as he had made the suggestion on the court record a to Thaw's present insanity, the burden of proving it rested with him. Mr. Jer ome said that, when his seven experts are allowed to testify, he will submit, to them a group of. facts upon .which they will give a scientific opinion that Thaw is now of unsound mind. Tests of Thaw's Sanity. Thaw during the executive session was carried over nearly every detail of the. trial, it is understood, and was asked regarding the testimony offered by various witnesses as to the effect he thought this testimony might have on a jury and the general tenor of the court'3 . rulings on the. broader points of law. On cross-examination Mr. Jer ome sought to question Thaw regard ing the letters he wrote to J. Denni son Lyon, of Pittsburg, since the tragedy on the Madison-Square Garden roof. Mr. Jerome said he based his contention as to Thaw's present in sanity partly on those letters. The commission ruled that the letters could not be accepted as evidence. Mr. Jer ome argued the point, but in vain. That Mr. Jerome had been in fre quent clashes with the . commission even, during tbo secret session was ap parent from the- tenseness of feeling which existed after the-doors had been tnriwn open. 1 - The. jury -will report before Justice Fitzgf.rald Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock. Prior to that time the pre siding Judge, will consult with the lunacy commissioners as to the amount of -time they will require to complete their work, and will then dismiss the jury for as many days as are neces sary. It was partly due to the fact that the jury is to report Monday and partly because Mr.. Jerome and Thaw's lawyers wish to call the attention of the commission to certain points of law that Tuesday was fixed for the re sumption of the lunacy proceedings. One of the entries. In the prison rec ord book which Mr. Jerome said was made by Brun jes. one of the keepers, and which he sought to have introduced in evidence, was as follows: "July 28, he (Thaw) offered me J1000 a day to taste the food sent to him from the outside, saying it might be poisoned and that he thought it would be a .good 20 to 1 shot." The book had not been received in evi dence when the commission adjourned. CHOOSE NEW PRESIDENT HOXDITRAN REBELS WIMj MAKE GCITERREZ CHIEF.

When he sailed' there were not more than 400 soldiers in the city, and they were working night and day digging trenches and fortifying the city. The presence of the American gunboat Marietta was a great relief to the na tives. A United States officer and 10 marines with a rapid-fire gun were sta tioned In the city to protect American Interests. While at Tela, about 100 Honduran sol diers, without arms or uniforms, were taken aboard and taken to Provinder.

The grip is highly infectious. It stimulates other diseases. The grip picks out the weak points of a person's constitution. The grip in itself is by no means a mortal disease. The victims of the grip are adults who perish from pneumonia or bronchitis, and the aged who Bink from heart exhaus tion. Children, while prone to the disease, en joy a comparative immunity from its complications and dangers. In adults, the attack as a rule comes on with 'lightning-like speed. A person apparently in perfect health Is suddenly overcome by a feeling of dis comfort and depression. He "runs' at the nose; he feels chilly; his had aches; his eyes pain him. What to do Go to bed at once; take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and qui nine as directed for influenza. Do this and the grip is soon shorn of Its terrors. For sale by all druggists.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal., March 30. "I do not believe the people of Ohio take Senator Foraker's Presidential aspirations seriously, nor do I think the Republican party does."

ALL PUT BLAME ON GLASS ''Continued From First Page.) president of the Wells-Fargo Nevada Na tional Bank and several other local banks and trust cpmpanies and president of the proposed Pacific Ocean Exposition Com pany; Timothy Hopklns who inherited the Mark Hopkins millions; E. S. Pills bury, legal representative on the Pacific Coast of the Standard Oil Company, and others of great wealth, all directors of the Pacific States Company, took the witness stand and told their stories, as Glass knew they would. All said that they knew nothing of the payment of the $50,000 bribe to the Super visors. They declared that they had not followed with personal interest the ex penses of the corporation and when Glass expended 550.000 in one lump sum no questions . were asked. Ruef Drew Fat Salary. One startling revelation that came out in their testimony was the asser tion of E. S. Pillsbury that Abe Ruef has been on the payroll of the Pacific States Company ' for some time. He has been drawing a regular salary of $1200 a. month. No pretense is made that he .performed a service for this money. It is a case of holdup, pure and simple. It was supposed to insure the continuance of a monopoly on the San Francisco btiness. It did not, however. Although Ruef was being paid by the Pacific States Com pany, as soon as the Home Company came along and desired to enter the local field he opened negotiations. The company offered Ruef $75,000 for the San Francisco franchise, and Ruef ac cepted, despite the fact that he was being paid by the Pacific States to keep the Home Company out. Rendered No Service at All. Mr. Heney and Mr. Pillsbury have been bitter enemies for some time. Xuring the course of the examination of Mr. Pills bury Mr. Heney asked: "Did your company ever pay any money to Aba Ruef?" "Yes, sir," Pillsbury replied. iHow much?" ' "We paid Mr. Ruef 12P0 a month." "For how long has this been going on?" "Oh, for a couple of years; I cannot tell exactly without the books." "What service did Mr. Ruef render in return for this money?" "I do not know.". "In fact, did Mr. Ruef render any serv ice at all?" 'Not that I know of." DIRECTORS TELIi THEIR STORY Grand Jury Continues Telephone In quiryWill Probe Others. SAN FRANCISCO. March 30. The following witnesses were examined by the grand jury today: E. S. Pillsbury, Timothy Hopkins and Homer S. King; W. J. Kennedy, cashier of the Pacific States Telephone Company; John S Cannon, janitor of the Mills building, who was interrogated as to his knowl edge of the alleged payment of bribes to Supervisors by J. V. Halsey in be half of the Pacific States Company in a room of that building; Dr. Fred Ea ton and Miss Mary Ryan. Miss Ryan was Halsey's stenographer at the time of the alleged bribery, and is now em ployed in the same capacity by the Southern Pacific Company. Miss Ryan was the last witness of the day. Begin Ruef s Trial This Week. ; District. Attorney Langdon said that, if present plans " are not altered, the grand Jury will hold one session -every day next week, and. the trial of Ruef on the French restaurant extortion cases will be actually begun next Tuesday and steadily proceeded with. In this event, said Mr. Langdon, it is likely that he and Special Prosecutor Hiram L. Johnson will appear against Ruef, while Mr. Heney engineers the investigation before the grand Jury. Mr. Langdon said that today's pro ceedings before that body had been "very satisfactory." He stated that additional indictments would be re turned as a result of the telephone in vestigations, but he did not know how soon, nor would he say against whom. The Inquisitors, contrary to expec tations, did not get through with the Pacific States and Home Telephone companies this week. Those investi gations will be carried over into April. Mr. Heney stated that the subpena ing of Edwin E. Earl and Dr. John R. Haynes, of Dos Angeles, ' was done without his knowledge, that neither of them has yet started for San Fran cisco, that Dr. Haynes has been tem porarily excused, and that in his (Heney's) opinion, Mr. Earl and Dr. Haynes do not know much in connec tion with Home Telephone affairs that would be valuable to the grand jury. Other Franchise Graft. The ' grand jury programme, as far as any programme is observed, is that the body, proposes the commencement early next week of an exhaustive investigation into the alleged bribery of Supervisors and other administration officials and politicians by the United Railways, the San Francisco Gas & Electric .Company and the prizefight trust, in the order named. Mayor Schmitz today issued a state ment denying the charge made by 'the prosecution that he is endeavoring by vigorous means to cause the resignation of a certain number of the Supervisors in order to fill their places with men who would frustrate any attempt on the part of the board to revoke those public- service franchises which they are accused of having awarded as a result of bribery. The Mayor said, however, that some of . thA local labor organizations are using their influence to cause the resignation of Supervisors wno, It is announcea ay 1110 prosecution, nave coniessea tneir gum to the Jtrand jury. The Mayor saia ne naa no official knowledge of such confessions and that, if such knowledge comes to him officially, he will at once take steps to effect a change in the board's personnel. Ruef Takes a Walk. One of the seven guards employed by Elisor Biggy to watch against the escape of Ruef having fallen sick, his place has been taken by ex-united states Marshal Shine. ' Mr. Blggy took Ruef for a walk In the streets this afternoon, the weather being exceptionally fine. Ruef has been allowed to have a pair of heavy dumb bells brought . into his ' chamber. With these he exercises regularly. Mr. Burns stated today that he Is pur posely refraining from arresting Abraham K. Detwller, of Toledo, in order to give him full opportunity to arrange the $130. 000 bail fixed by Judge Lawlor. who has formally declared Detwller a fugitive from justice and issued bench warrants for his arrest on each-of the 13 counts of bribery returned against him by the grand jury. RAISES CRY OF COSPIRACY Ruef Says Law Is Violated He Will Prosecute Prosecutors. SAN FTtANCaSCO, March SO. For the first time since his capture a month ago at the Trocadero, Abraham Ruef, the in dicted political boss of San Francisc6, today turned upon his prosecutors and unsparingly denounced the "conspiracy" wnicn he declared is responsible for his present plight. Ruef made the following statement to the Associated Press: s This is the first time in the history of jurisprudence that an elisor has been ap pointed by a court for the purpose of keep ing in custody a defendant. By committing me to the keep of William J. Blggy. and conferring upon him full discretionary pow ers to select a private prison and surround me with private guards and otherwise use his own untrammeled judgment as to my confinement, Superior Judge Dunne has sought to establish a precedent which, if commonly followed, would tend to the over throw of American history and the viola- tion of our National traditions. For the sake of illustration, forget that I am the defendant and make the case Im personal. Here is one .Abraham Ruef, ln dlrted publicly by a grand Jury and charged with a publlo crime. Whether Innocent or guilty of that crime, he should be prose cuted by public officers, confined (ball being refused) in a public Jail and the expenses incident- should be paid out of the public funds. Is this being done? On the con trary, this Ruef is the prisoner of a pri vate cltlien raised to peculiar power with out authority or precedence; is surrounded day and night by armed guards, privately employed, incarcerated first in a hotel and latterly in a private dwelling, each selected in turn by a private jailer and each created for this purpose a private prison; be is be ing prosecuted, not by the - regularly elected and duty authorized District Attorney, but by a private lawyer, especially appointed a deputy tor the purpose, and a former secret service officer, who is not even a dtlsen of this state, both of whom were privately re tained and are being privately paid out of a private fund raised and guaranteed by a private person, Rudolph Spreckels. Is this American, or is it not rather more odious than the "lettres de cachet" that were Instruments of infamous oppression which the French revolution swept away?

London costumers are making great efforts this year to intercept the American woman on her fray to Paris to buy gowns and hats. They are organizing a great exposition to be held In June, when London will be full of American society women and tourists. The object of this exposition will, be to show American women and Englishwomen too that they need not go to Paris for the most elegant and best made frocks. "The English fashion creators," saya the secretary of -the exposition.' "are quite as artistic as their foreign competi tors, and they fit well and understand the English and- American figure to per fection. "American women see, admire and de clare they love London, but they skip through It in order to buy their gowns In Paris. We want to make American and English ladies understand the fact that they can get just such artistic cre ations in London as they can In Paris.'
