THAW OPENS THIRD
FIGHT FOR LIBERTY
Hearing on Sanity of Slayer of
Stanford White on at
, White Plains. :
ALIENIST AIDS PRISONER
William White In Charge of Gov
ernment Hospital at Washington
Declares No Sign of Para
noia Is Seen.
WHITE PLAINS, f. T.. June 17. The
third attempt of Harry K. Thaw, slayer
of Stanford White, to obtain his free
dom opened here today with the testi
mony of Dr. William A. White, an alien
ist, in charge of the United States Gov
ernment hospital at Washington.
Dr. White testified that be examined
Thaw on three occasions recently and
found no evidences of paranoia.
"Thaw Is not Insane," he said, "and
It would not be unsafe to the com
munity to liberate bim now. His mem
ory waa very good and his talk was
entirely rational."
Prleoeer Old Acqaalatanee.
William A. Stone. ex-Governor of
Pennsylvania, the next witness, said
he had known Thaw four years and
had seen him yesterday. He described
Thaw's manner and appearance as ''per
fectly natural."
As to Thaw's sanity. Mr. Stone said:
"He is perfectly rational no question
about It In my mind.'
It was charged by Dr. Austin Flint,
the alienist who testified for the state
In Thaw's two trials, that "the pegs
have been set" to obtain Thaw's free
dom. Clarence J. Shearn, chief counsel
for Thaw, made the counter-charge
that great and.hldden Influences have
been exerted to keep the young man
In the madhouse for life. He Intimated
that money has been lavishly used to
this end, for fear that Thaw, once at
larsce. will make certain disclosures
which will Implicate prominent citlxens
who were close friends of Stanford
White.
Dr. Flint has asserted that Thaw's
sphere of influence extended even to
the appointment of Joseph F. Scott as
Superintendent of Prisons and that fol
lowing the day he took office, a little
over a year ago. every official In Mat-
teawan unfavorable to Thaw has been
replaced by men who believe White's
layer to be of sound mind. Thawi
himself has been quoted as having ad
mltted that he started "an agitation
in favor of placing the institution upon
a "hospital basis and as having ex
pressed delight when officials opposed
to tnis plan resigned. 1
Mother Issues Statement,
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the pris
oner's mother, went even further. In
a signed statement Issued at the time
Dr. Robert M. Lamb resigned the su
perlntendency, to be succeeded by Dr.
James V. May, she expressed great sat-
isfactlon at what she termed the suo-
cess of her son's efforts, and added
"Now that success Is complete. My
son asks me to state that he does not
wish to embarrass Dr. May in any man
ner and will ask for no privileges
whatever except those Judge Mills of
ficially ordered. He will never ask
anything else from Dr. May while in
M-itteawan.
Thaw's "campaign of agitation" be

NEW CREED FOR JAPAN
BudclhlMn Giving Way to Improved
Shlntoism.
Christian Herald.
From Japan we have news by cable
that there Is a plan afoot, which the
Emperor approves, for the establish
ment of a new state religion In that
country. It Is said to have originated
wttb Mr. Ixawa, formerly of the MIn
istry of Kducatlon and a peer of the
empire. The new organisation is to be
known as the "State Religious Com
munity of Japan." One of its features
is the assertion that the Emperor is of
divine lineage, the direct descendant of
the Creator of the world. Its main
purpose is to cultivate loyalty toward
the Kmperor and the elevation of moral
ideas throughout his dominions.
There is nothing specially novel in
this "new religion." which would seem
to be an admixture of Confucianism,
or the religion of the moralities, and
an extended form of ancestor-worship
on a larger scale hat is significant,
however, is that the old religion no
longer satisfies the Japanese. With
the enlargement of the nation's activi
ties and the spread of education and
Western Ideas, there has come a reli
gious crisis, which In some respects
may be said to resemble that of Rome
when she came to the cross-roads
where she bade farewell to paganism
and prepared to take up Christianity.
Is Japan ready to do the same? She
has clunK to Buddhism, which she Im
ported from Korea some 1500 years
ago. but Its strength has ebbed and
flowed by turns. Today, its hold on
the national heart seems to be far less
strong than that of Shintolsm. through
which Nippon has worshiped the forces
of nature, the nation's heroes and Its
ancestors from the time when the first
Emperor, Jlmmu Tenno, sprang from
the heart of Amaterasu O-Ml-Kami, the
sun goddess, 2i00 years ago. Shinto
ism, notwithstanding that It has no
"sacred books," no dogmas, and no code
of morals, has a powerful charm for
the people, rich and poor alike. Its
revival now as the basis of the "new
religion," could only be Interpreted as
spriniclng from the desire to make the
religious life of the Japanese tributary
to the political power and growth of
the empire. With a "divine" ruler,
whit would not his loyal subjects sac
rifice for the glory and prestige of
their country?
Christian Herald.
When we consider her checkered ca
reer, her long, long centuries of defeat,
oppression, pillage, destruction by the
most barbarous nations of t-urope ana
Asia, we cannot wonder that Athens
is today chiefly celebrated for her ruins;
that not a single temple Is still intact.
Yet here is today a modern city or
some 150,000 innaDitants, supremely in
teresting to the student because of its
history, to the artist because of rare
fragments of sculpture, to the archeol
glst because of its majestic ruins, state
lv even in their decay.
In the modern city of Athens there
are two squares which form .the two
foci of an ellipse, from which most of
the life of the city radiates. One of
these Is Constitution Square, to trans
late the Greek and French names by
which It Is usually called Into English,
and the other is the Place of Concord.
Around Constitution Square cluster the
leading hotels, while to the east It is
flanked by the great bare marble palace
of the King, in front of which is a
pretty park, and behind It a botanical
garden.
From the Place de la Concord radiate
various electric car lines to different
parts of the city, and the two squares
are connected by the Street of the Sta
dium, a busy thoroughfare about half
a mile long. Other principal business
streets are the Street of Hermes, the
Street of Eolus, Athens street and Pire
us street. In all these and some others
are (rood shops, filled with the latest
importations from London, Paris and
New Tork. The student of the classics
will be interested to note that many
of the streets are named after the an
cient worthies. Homer and Socrates,
Eschylus and Phidias, and is thankful
to the city fathers of Athens for put
ting up at every street corner a mar
ble tablet with the name of the street
in plain Greek letters, a custom which
many of our American citizens might
well imitate more extensively.
PORTLAND MEN BUY MINES
Group Near Elk City District Bought
for $100,000 Cash.
SPOKANE, Wash., June 17. (Spe
cial.) Nine claims, constituting the
Ten-Mile district West of Elk City,
have been sold to Portland people by
"French Pete" Pruelx, the original lo
cator, for $100,000 cash.
The first payment on the property
has already been made. C. W. Rydell,
of oPrtland, the consultln genglneer,
who has closed the arrangements. Is
now In Spokane. The ground has al
ways been considered extremely valu
able, and has been under lease and
bond twice to Spokane people, who
have failed to meet their obligations.
"My principals have formed a corpor
ation caled the French Pete Mining
Company, to handle their purchase,"
said Mr. Rydell today. "Several men of
mining experience are concerned and
we have bad the property under con
sideration for some time. Our plans
call for the installation of an 80-ton
mill Immediately, with development of
hydfo-electric power on the ground to
run it. As in the condition with other
ores In the district, most of the values
can be saved by simple amalgamation,
thus reducing the initial expense."
