The soldiers before startine we" I formed that the march was to cultivate fortitude, and the commanaers staurd l the men should try to withstand the march, as the honor of victory would fall to the regiment without stragglers or sick at the destination. This excited strong feeling of competition and many soldiers became delirious, but still strug gled along under heavy inarching orders, each man carrying 80 pounds. Six men died and scores fainted and fell by the roadside, to be picked up and carried to surgeons by rickshas. Forty prostrated men were carried by train to the garfson hospital at Taksaka. where several, becoming insane, attacked the officers' wardroom and wrecked the fur niture. The march occupied hours. The var Department, following the newspaper com-plalnts of brutality, stated that "It was the duty of the regimental commanders to inculcate In the men the spirit of fortitude, availing themselves of the climatic obstructions. The Incidents were nothing but those In which weak men succumbed and strong survived, and. while the military authorities fully synx pathised with the unfortunate soldiers, such incidents must be regarded as mere- ly ordinary occurrences."

The dull routine of expert testimony was Jarred today by an Interruption from Pletro Caporale. a wild-looking Italian, who had been hanging about the place for several hours, and who tried to force his way Into the room. When the at tendants refused him admission he waved a letter and demanded to see Dis trict Attorney Jerome. Tell Thaw they will rob him, as they robbed me of my children," he yelled -re peatedly. It , developed that he wanted Mr. Jerome to help him obtain he release of his little girls from the juvenile-asylum In New Tork. After Dr. William J. Meyer, one of Thaw's experte, had pro nounced him a harmless lunatic, the man was placed on a train and sent to New Tork. Flint Sponsor for Baking Powder. Dr. Austin Flint was examined by Mr. Morsehauser regarding the san ity proceedings of Mrs. Penelope Osborn, In which he appeared as an expert In 1907. Thaw's lawyer declared Dr. Flint's testi mony resulted in this woman's discharge. although he classed her as a paranoiac. Mr. Morsehauser amused the courtroom when he held a can of baking-powder with Dr. Flint's signed Indorsement print. ed on the label, and said it contained alum. Mr. Jerome enabled him to explain that he was employed in 1900 by a baking powder company to investigate the effects of alum In baking-powder. "I did not authorize my indorsement. Dr. Flint declared, "and I threatened to bring legal action if It were used." Dr. Flint told Mr. Jerome that Mrs. Os borne's delusion was that a club existed for the purpose of killing all persons whose names ended with "ley," and that the murderer of President McKlnley was member. She told him, however, dur ing her examination that she was not sure she was rignt. tier condition, ne insisted, was quite different from Thaw's. Did you testify either before the sanity commission or Judge Morsehauser?" asked Mr. Morsehauser. "that Thaw In he progress of his alleged 'exaggerated ego' had reached the state of 'grandeur V " "I probably did," replied Dr. Flint. Released, He Kills Sister. Mr. Jerome then called the last of his experts. Dr. Carlos F. McDonald, presi dent of the New York State Commission on Lunacy. Mr. Jerome read passages regarding par- noia from several medical authorities and the witness expressed his agreement. Dr. McDonald told of a case of a man in Al bany, N. Y., who came under his observa tion. This man had a delusion that his sister was performing certain improper acts. After trying to kill her. he was confined to the Auburn asylum. He stayed there six months, having declared that his delusion had vanished and was dis charged. He at once returned to Albany and killed his sister. This man is now In the Insane asylum at Utica. Mr. McDonald concluded by declaring that Thaw now suffered from "paranoia of the degenerate type." He pronounced Thaw Incurable. He dwelt upon the lia bility of the recurrence of outbreaks like that which resulted in the death of Stan ford White. He characterized Thaw's manner on the witness-stand at the pres ent hearing as 'frivolous." and showing no proper appreciation of his position. Might Prove Delusions" True. "He could not be legally insane," said Mm H ml Dr. McDonald, "and not medically in sane." Thaw says that when he killed White he may have been "legally in sane." but denied that he ever was "medically Insane." Mr. Morsehauser asked Dr. McDon aid. If a paranoiac should realize that his delusions were delusions, would it not be evidence of recovery. "Yes." said the witness, "if he were honest in acknowledging his mistake.' Thaw's attorney had the expert go on record as sayln.cr. if the allegation of Thaw against White and his friends were substantiated, he would believe Thaw had no such delusions. Mr. Morsehauser said portions of Mr. Jeromes summing up at the trial up held Thaw's charges, and said he would put :he District Attorney s speech in evidence ana use it in his closing argu ment. Can Prove White's Guilt. "Assuming." said Mr. Morsehauser, "that it is true that White and a crowd of degenerates kept the two places de scribed by Thaw's wife for immoral purposes, would that Justify Thaw in adhering to his belief?" "It is not true," broke In Mr. Jerome. uere is no such evidence." I have the evidence," said Mr. Morsehauser calmly, "and I'll introduce it later." Thaw's counsel also Indicated his pur pose of proving the prisoner's allega tions regarding the "Monk Eastman" gang, which Thaw said had been hired to beat hlin up. "What other delusions have you ob served in Mr. Thaw?" asked Mr. Morsehauser. Dr. MacDonald thought for a long while before he replied: "His idea that his wife might become a social leader in Pittsburg and he be Senator from Pennsylvania, as shown In the letter to his wife."

WASHINGTON. Aug. 4. Speaker Can non is expected to announce his decision with regard to committee assignments to morrow. That they will not be altogether satisfactory is already indicated. A se lection that is expected to cause a great deal of comment, and incidentally con siderable concern. Is the designation of Weeks of Massachusetts to be chairman of the committee on postbfflces and post roads. It is understood that Weeks does not favor the postal savings bank proposi tion, and that his attitude regarding that legislation has had some Influence with Cannon in making the selection. Takes Revenge by "Insurglng." The fact that Gardner of New Jersey, who would be entitled to the chairman ship of the postofnee committee from the standpoint of rank and service on that committee, today for the first time voted with the rules "Insurgents" and the Dem. ocrats on the urgent deticiency bill was taken to indicate that he regards Weeks' appointment as assured. Gardner of Massachusetts is to lose his chairmanship of the committee on Indus trial arts and expositions. It Is under stood that this action will be taken by the Speaker because Gardner was one of the leading "insurgents" at the opening of the present session. Taft Intercedes for Cooper. Cooper of Wisconsin, who was also an "insurgent" against the rules, may retain the chairmanship of the committee on in sular affairs. It is reported that Presi dent Taft had intervened with Cannon in his behalf. On the other hand, it was learned from equally reliable sources that Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of the banking and currency committee in the last session, would lose his place. The fate of Davidson of Wisconsin, an other "insurgent," remains uncertain. He was chairman of the committee on rail ways and canals.
