STORE CLOSES SATURDAY NIGHT AT SIX DP N ON Examination of Thaw to Be Finished Today and Report Made Mon day Thaw's Lawyers Confi- dent Trial Will Proceed. NEW YORK, March 29. From sources assumed to be authentic. It was an nounced late tonight that Dr. Allan Mc Lane Hamilton, alienist, will be called to testify tomorrow before the lunacy com mission which Is to determine whether Harry K. Thaw Is mentally competent to understand the nature of the proceedings In his trial .for the killing of Stanford White and to rationally advise his coun sel. Dr. Hamilton, it was stated, will appear as a witness at the request of the commission and will be the only expert examined. The declaration that Dr. Hamilton would be called was a surprise, as it had been generally understood that the com mission would not hear any expert testi mony as to the defendant's condition of mind. Dr. Leopold Putzel, one of the commissioners, it was expected, would be relied on to determine any medical points involved. He Believes Thaw Insane. It was Dr. Hamilton's testimony at the trial that precipitated the request made by the District Attorney for a lunacy commission. Originally retained by the defense. Dr. Hamilton examined Thaw and was expected to qualify as a witness for the defense. Later, however, his con nection with the defense was severed and he was subpenaed as a witness for the state. He was not called by the prosecu tion, but was eventually summoned to the witness stand by the defense. Under examination at that time he testified that Thaw was insane when he examined him in the Tombs last Summer and he be lieved htm still insane. District Attorney Jerome, it was known, had been anxious to introduce certain witnesses before the commission, but up to tonight there had appeared little like lihood that he would be successful. This evening, it was stated, the lunacy com mission notified the District Attorney that it would require the presence of Dr. Hamilton tomorrow. It was also stated that Dr. MoGuire, the Tombs physician, and other officials at the Tombs will be called. May Report to Court Monday. The Commission In Lunacy may finish . Ha work tomorrow and be ready to report to Justice Fitzgerald by Monday. The Thaw Jury will report In court once more at 10:30 o'clock Monday morning, and It is the hope of the Presiding Judge, as well. .aa . the Commission, that the mat ter of the defendant's sanity may be disposed of by that time. If the Commission should submit report to the effect that Thaw fully understands the nature of the proceea ings against him and has rationally advised with his counsel. Justice Fitz gerald will simply direct that the trial proceed, without making public the Commission's finding. If the report should be against Thaw. Justice Fits gerald will announce the decision from the bench, and If he deems the prison er's release to be dangerous to the public peace and safety, he will sign an order directing confinement in some State Hospital for the Insane, prob ably Matteawan. . Commission Needs No Witness. ' Today being Good Friday, there was no session of the Lunacy Commission, and Thaw spent a quiet day in the Tombs Prison, preparing for a renewal of his mental test tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The session of the Com mission at that hour will be private. Sure Trial Will Go On. Thaw's attorneys are so sanguine as to lhe outcome of the lunacy inquiry that Mhpy were today making plans for the resumption of the trial next week. It seems now that, if the trial Is taken up again, the defense will probably announce , that It rests without further testimony. . If Thaw Is decided to be of sound mind today and the trial Is resumed. It should not laiM, more than three or four days. The attorneys in their summing up ad dresses rwlU '-not be allowed to refer In any way to "-the lunacy commission, for Ha appointment and proceedings are not a tpart f the anal record.

May Finish Trial Friday. The secrecy of the5 commission's exam ination of Thaw was not, Mr. Hartridge said, to be construed as a concession to the defendant. Necessarily matters per taining to the original . cas will be brought out at the present hearing and it would be manifestly unsuitable to have the proceedings made public while the trial proper was pending. "I am in hopes," he added, "that the conclusion of thelunacy board will be reached by Monday, and that the trial before tne jury can do resumed Tuesday Should this prove to be so. J think the rase should go to the Jury late Thursday or Friday morning Daniel O'Reilly, another of- his counsel, who also visited Thaw at the Tombs to day, later said that the defendant was In unusually good spirits. He added: "I feel confident that the commission in lunacy will work all day tomorrow and be so near through its examination by Monday that It can hand its report to Justice Fitzgerald on that day.

MIGHT BUY CLEMENCEAU Secret Documents of Pope's Nuncio Throw Light on French Rela tions With the Vatican Pope Rejected Secret Envoys. PARIS. March 30. The Figaro has be gun a detailed analysis of the documents that came into the possession of the gov ernment at the time Mgr. Montagnlnl left the papal nunciature here and of the famous notebooks kept by the former secretary of the nunciature. Among those referred to in the book are M. Rouvler, ex-Premier and Minister of Foreign Af fairs, whom the prelate disliked and tried to discredit with the Vatican when, as Mgr. Montagnlnl says on the -authority of M. Denys Cochin, a member of the Chamber of Deputies, who has been a firm supporter of the Vatican, M. Rouvler attempted to open negotiations with Rome. The notebooks show also that Paul Doumer, ex-President of the Chamber of Deputies, sent copies of his book. "Pour Mes Flls," to the Pdpe and Cardinal Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of State. They expressed , themselves as most pleased with the gift. An interesting entry made in 1905 de scribed M. Ctemenceau, the present Pre mier, as xtremely impecunious. Mgr. Montagninl even having heard from a good source that he could be bought, but it would be necessary to put up a large sum. The documents discussed by the Fi garo woujd seem to show that the French government had tried to negotiate in directly with the Vatican ever since the rupture, but that the Pope refused to treat with ' secret envoys. Every ministry since the rupture, has made use of the services of Mgr - Muthlin, an ex-attache of-the- French Embassy to the Vatican. who. Mgr. Montagnini says, received $2000 a year from the French Foreign Office. The notebook mentions a conversation between Mgr. Montagnini and M. Bar thou, ex-Mlnister of the Interior and now Minister of Public Works, in which the latter bitterly regretted the rupture with Rome and said the work of the next ministry should be to rebridge the ex isting gulf. ROCMANIA IS QUIETING DOWN Refugees Pour Over Frontier and Local Disturbances Continue. BUCHAREST, March 29.

The situation in the districts of Olt and Roman has become somewhat threatening, but in Dolj, Buzer and other districts it has Improved.
