VICTORIA. B. C. Aug. 4.-Japanese
vernacular newspapers received by the
steamer Tango Maru make bitter attacks
on tiro military authorities or japan m
consequence of the recent fatalities by
sunstroke, while the South Osaka division
made a forced march of 29 miles in
burning sun with the thermometer at 120
degrees.
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."

lleved had been engaged by his enemies
to beat and perhaps kill him.
Crary Italian in Court.
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."

Weeks, Who Opposes Them, Will Get
Chance to Kill Them Gardner
of New Jersey Rebels Taft
Saves Cooper's Head.
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.
SEATTLE IS IMPORTANT PORT
Government Finds Commissioner of
Immigration Is Needed There.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. The President
todav nominated Ellis de Bruler Commis
sioner of Immigration at Seattle. The po
sition, a new one, pays WO00 a year sal
ary. It was formerly filled by an immi
gration inspector.
Secretary Nagel said today that it was
necessary to have a Commissioner of im
migration at Seattle who would use dis
cretion in the handling of cases, Instead
of as formerly, when important decisions
had to be referred to Washington for de
termination. For some time the question
has been iiHr consideration as to wheth
er Seattle was not entitled to a Commis
sioner, and, in order to determine the
question, Secretarv Nagel had compari
sons made with other places, and it was
found the immigration there in quantity
was as Important as either Philadelphia
or Baltimore.
Mr. de Bruler'a appointment was warm
ly supported by the entire Congressional
delegation from Washington.
