OF HANDS OS Jerome's Purpose Plain to Send Thaw to Insane Asylum. MAY CALL HAMILTON NEXT Kelies on Alienist to Secure Lunacy Commission Thaw, in Terror of Asylum, Pledge His Counsel to Fight. NEW YORK. March 2. The Thaw trial enters its seventh week Monday and it would seem that, unless some radical change in the course of procedure occurs. It will be at least two weeks, and possi bly three, before the jury renders a ver dict. That District Attorney Jerome has no intention of letting the ca&e go to the jury, if lie can possibly prevent it, there appears to be no semblance of a doubt. The prosecutor has made it perfectly plain that he would rather have the mat ter come before a commission in lunacy. Jerome does not ne.leve that Thaw is in a proper condition of mind to he on trial. Time after time, when ,Mr. Del mas, the lending attorney for the de fense, has interrupted him during his cross-examination of witnesses with ob jections of various kinds. Mr. Jerome has retorted hotly: You forced me into this." No Taste for Grilling: Mrs. Thaw. The District Attorney especially had no taste for the cross-examination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. He endeavored to avoid it by having the experts testify llrst. Imping to gain from them enough important ad missions as to Thaw's present state of mind upon which to predicate an appli cation for a commission in lunacy and the suspension of the trial. Mr. Jerome realizes that he must be sure of his ground before asking for a commission and lie consequently will not take that step until some of the state's alienists have gone upon the stand. Dr. Allan McLanc Hamilton, who was em ployed for a tini by the defense and who visited Thaw in' the Tombs, is ex-pec-ted to be the most important expert witness for the prosecution. Dr. Hamil ton is known to have expressed the opin ion that Thaw's insanity was of a lasting character. Mr. Jerome was laying the foundation for Dr. Hamilton's testimony when ad journment was taken Friday afternoon. He asked Dr. Kvans. witness for the de fense, if Dr. Hamilton was not regarded Itiirhly as an authority on various dis eases. Dr. Kvans refused to answer and Justice Fitzgerald took the point under consideration. The Judge also reservel decision as to whether Mr. Jerome should be permitted to quote from various medi cal works as to the effects of various mental diseases. Thaw 1) reads Asylum. Thaw seems apprehensive of his fate only a.s it relates to an asylum for the criminal insane. The thought of the death chair, it is said, has never once entered his mind. He has been in con stant fear, however, that there might be a "conspiracy" to "railroad" him to an asylum. Within the last two days the defendant has called upon his attorneys for an assurance that they will not enter into an agreement for the appointment of a commission. They promised to fight to the utmost to have the case reach the jury. Dr. Britton D. Evans, who declared Thaw to be suffering from a "brain storm" when ho shot 'White, will go upon the stand Monday. It will make his fourth day under cross-examination. Evelyn Xesbit Thaw. Mrs. , William Thaw and the Countess of Yarmouth vis Ited the defendant in the Tombs today.

Municipal Reformers , Wlio Oppo.sc Liberals Secure Control of County Council After Twenty Years. LONDON. March 3. London was in the throes of an election yesterday for mem bcrhip in the County Counril that ex ceeded in bitterness the Parliamentary election of 1005. The outcome is not yet fully known, but returns to midnight showed that the Municipal Reformers had pained -13 seats and the Progressives and the Labor party one seat each. The 1-aborites or Socialists opposed both the irosrcssives ana tne rcciormers. Tho Progressives, who are supported by the Liberals, and who ha been in power for 1!0 years, claimed a renewal of their mandate on the Rround of ser vices rendered. The self-styled 'Munici pal Reformers." with whom the Unionists are associated, aecvised the Progressives of extravagance and socialistic tendencies that have led to excessive local taxes. John Burns, president of the Local Gov ernment Board, but who does not seek re-election, issued a manifesto yesterday in which he describes the campaign of the Municipal Reformers as the "most vulgar and most disgraceful that ever has discredited British public life,'" and in which he exhorted the electors not to surrender London to the greed of monop olists and' speculators. The Municipal Reformers have pro claimed that the defeat of the Progress ives would be a serious blow to the Lib eral Government.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. March 2. The denatured alco hol bill, which went to the.

As the original bill was drawn, denatured alcohol could only be produced by large distilleries, and the Standard had com pletely monopolized the entire product. Jt was to preserve this monopoly that Senator Aldrlch yesterday endeavored to amend the pending bill, but. to his surprise, a large majority of the Sen ate turned against him, and his amend ment was lost. Senator Fulton, who had received many appeals from Ore gon farmers on behalf of the new bill, vigorously attacked the Aldrich amend ment, as did other Senators from the Northwest, except Ankeny and Hey burn, who stood with Aldrich and against the farmers.
