He was asked whether the effort first made by the Strother brothers In re- strain nywater from leaving the house, had materially affected their mental condition. " I should say," he. said, "that they were nngry— almost to the last degree." "Wore the men, in your opinion, In- sane?" "No." THIS SESSION NO LEGISLATION EXPECTED Measure In Its Present Form Is Not Satisfactory and Attempts to Pass It Fail Com. pletely Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, Mrs. William Thaw and the countess of Yarmouth visited the defendant in the Tombs to- day. Dr. Britton D. Evans, who declared Thaw to be suffering from a "brain storm" when he shot White, will go upon the stand Monday. It will make his fourth day under cross-examina- tion. Within the last two days the defend- ant 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. Thaw seems apprehensive of his fate only as it relates to an asylum for the criminal Insane. The thought of the death chair. It Is said, has not once entered his mind. He has been In con- stant fear, however, that there might be a "conspiracy" to "railroad" him to an asylum. Fears Asylum Dr. Evans refused to answer, and Justice Fitzgerald took the point under consideration. The judge also reserved decision as to whether Mr. Jerome should be permitted to quote from vari- ous medical works as to the effects of various mental diseases. By Associated Press. I \: NEW, YOUK, March 2.— The Thaw trial enters its seventh week Monday, and It would seem that unless some radical change in the course of pro- \u25a0\u25a0 cedure occur* it will be at least two ; weeks ; and possibly three before the Jury renders a verdict. That District Attorney Jerome has \u25a0 no intention of letting the case go to ..-'the jury If he 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 matter come before a com- mission In lunacy. Mr. Jerome does not believe that I Thaw Is In a proper condition of mind to be on trial. Time after time when f Mr. Delmas, the leading attorney for ','\u25a0 the defense, has interrupted him dur- ing his cross-examination of witnesses '•\u25a0\u25a0 with objections of various kinds Mr. '; Jerome has retorted hotly: '-\u25a0; "You forced me Into this." Tried to Avoid Examination The district attorney especially had no taste for the cross-examination of Evelyn Nesblt Thaw. He endeavored :to avoid It by having experts testify first, hoping to gain from them enough ' ' Important admissions as to Thaw's present state of mind upon which to predicate an apllcatlon for a commis- sion in lunacy and the suspension of the trial. '->'"' Mr. Jerome realizes that he must be : 'sure of his ground before asking for a I commission and he certainly will not take tnat step until some of the state's E alienists have gone upon the stand. Dr. Allen McLano Hamilton, who ' was employed for a time by the de- fense and who visited Thaw In the y . Tombs,. Is expected to be the most im- portant expert witness of the prosecu- '"\u25a0 tion. Dr. Hamilton is known to have expressed the opinion that Thaw's In- ; sanity was of a lasting character. Mr. . I Jerome was laying the foundation for Dr. Hamilton's testimony when ad- journment was taken Friday afternoon. IHe asked Dr. Evans, witness for the defense, if Dr. Hamilton was not re- I garded as an authority on various dis- eases. Other Democratic senators, however, oppose the measure for other reasons, and if the gulf state element should cease opposition it would be renewed by their colleagues. Moreover, the house leaders have practically served notice upon the senate that If the bill should be amended in any respect by the senate it would be impossible to ob- tain action in the house because of the opposition there. In the meantime there will be some effort to reach a common "round, but no one hopes for success. The princi- pal opposition today came from Demo- cratic senators who were interested in the commerce in the gulf of Mexico, and it has been suggested that if fur- ther provision could be made in that interest they would accept the bill. After this episode a cessation of hos- tilities until 5 o'clock was secured. At that hour it was immediately apparent that no progress had been made toward harmony. Senator Gallinger then sug- gested a further postponement until to- morrow at 11 o'clock. All agreed to this proposition. This was voted down, but various other motions, all dilatory, were Intro- duced by Democratic senators, and not- withstanding they were all defeated, it< was perfectly understood that the determined opposition at ro late an hour in the session meant the ultimate defeat of the measure unless some agreement could be reached. Motion Voted Down The Republicans were therefore well aware of the probable fate of the bill when at 1:30 o'clock Senator Oalllnger who had charge of the bill, moved to concur in the house amendments. This motion was immediately met by a counter-motion to postpone considera- tion until tomorrow. Several of them held an Informal con- ference and after deciding that the bill should not pass in its present shape, they instructed, their caucus leader, Senator Blackburn, to convey this In- formation to the Republican leaders. By Associated Press. WASHINGTON, March 2.—There will be no ship subsidy legislation during the present session of congress. This fact was practically conceded by all when the senate supporters of the sub- sidy bill agreed late today to allow the subject to go over until tomorrow. The failure of the measure will be due to the opposition of v Democratic senators, which was so pronounced as to cause them to fli. uater for more than an hour today. The position of democratic senators was made known to their Republican colleagues early today. BROTHERS INSANE; SAYS ALIENITS MILLIONS ADDED TO SUPPLY BILLS "When this point was brought up at the New York hearing," he said, "the interstate commerce commissioners thought they were developing some new and startling facts, when as a matter of fact the whole thing was ancient history." Then Harrlman pointed out that the Chicago & Alton lißting in the circular referred to the payment of the 30 per cent dividend "Upon the preferred and common stock. "The annual Increase in the interest payments and dividends is $800,000 at the most, after spending $22,000,000 upon the property. This has been in- creased threefold because of the in- crease in facilities." "There may be between $2,000,000 and $2,500,000 obligations not included in the above. Including this it would make the amount of obligations to date about $110,000,000, instead of $107,- 00,000. Our payment to security hold- ers has not increased, taking into ac- count $22,000,000 of new capital put In the property. Amounts Not Included "To this might be added $8,000,000 of equipment trust notes, but the lat- ter are being paid out of the Income, so that the amounts are withheld from, the security holders until the equip- ment trust notes and bonds are re- deemed, and therefore it is not alto- gether a capital charge. So it would seem of the $107,000,000 of security Is- sued $90,000,000 has been paid out. "As against that there were issued of the Chicago & Alton Railroad com- pany the new company $22,000,000 of 3':.. per cent bonds, $20,000,000 of pre- ferred stock. $20,000,000 of common stock and $45,000,000 of 3 per cent bonds of the Chicago & Alton Railroad com- pany's refunding 3s, or a total of $107.- 00,000. "It was stated at that time that the charter provided for new construction and that the line had been surveyed hut had not yet been constructed. It cost the Chicago & Alton for the St. Louis, Peoria & Northern Railway company for fifty-seven miles about $42,000,000. There was expended upon the property about $22,000,000, the pro- ceeds of the sale of $31,000,000 of re- funding 3h and the collateral trust bonds against which $7,000,000 of the refunding 3s produced $26,000,000, mak- ing a total of $90,000,000. Short Line Expensive "All the so-called charges made nt the recent hearing In New York nre fully covered in the application in Oc- tober. 1900, for listing the Chicago & Alton railway securities in the New York exchange and every point brought by the Interstate commerce commission the other day was Riven publicity at that time. This circular to which T refer mentioned the fact that $31,988,000 In 3 per cent bonds were sold to the stockholders at 65. ana that the amount. J22.144.t77.G6. that had formally been charged to Income, was properlj charged to construction. "In View of the Unfair methods Of the administration, as carried out by the commission, there Is no incentive for B man to be successful, but ] am sure thai In the end the American spirit will prevail. That is more to the purpose than a 'square deal.' We may have n square deal but unfair play, There seems to be a tendency among unsuccessful people to assail those Who are successful. "There who not a single new point brought out in the inquiry. 11 was simply a rehash of matter which was given wide publicity several years ago, This continual reform agitation shows the animosity thai exists today against men and corporations that have made a success, The Interstate commerce commission could produce far better results If the members would co-operate with the financial In- terests of the country instead of an- tagonising them.

"Mr. Roosevelt Is a very able man,' 1 he continued. "He is capable of doing things if there were only more fixityof purpose." "It is too bad that a man with such an alert mind as President Roosevelt has should not have subjected himself to more discipline," said Edward H.

Thaw seems apprehensive of his fateonly as it relates to an asylum for thecriminal Insane. The thought of thedeath chair. It Is said, has not onceentered his mind. He has been In con-stant fear, however, that there mightbe a "conspiracy" to "railroad" himto an asylum.

Fears Asylum

Dr. Evans refused to answer, andJustice Fitzgerald took the point underconsideration. The judge also reserveddecision as to whether Mr. Jeromeshould be permitted to quote from vari-ous medical works as to the effects ofvarious mental diseases.

By Associated Press.I\:NEW, YOUK, March 2.— The Thaw

trial enters its seventh week Monday,

and It would seem that unless someradical change in the course of pro-

\u25a0\u25a0 cedure occur* it will be at least two;weeks ;and possibly three before the• Jury renders a verdict.

That District Attorney Jerome has\u25a0 no intention of letting the case go to

..-'the jury If he 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 • matter come before a com-

mission In lunacy.Mr. Jerome does not believe that

IThaw Is In a proper condition of mind

to be on trial. Time after time whenf Mr. Delmas, the leading attorney for

','\u25a0 the defense, has interrupted him dur-ing his cross-examination of witnesses

'•\u25a0\u25a0 with objections of various kinds Mr.';Jerome has retorted hotly:

'-\u25a0; "You forced me Into this."Tried to Avoid Examination

The district attorney especially had• no taste for the cross-examination of

Evelyn Nesblt Thaw. He endeavored:to avoid It by having experts testifyfirst, hoping to gain from them enough' 'Important admissions as to Thaw'spresent state of mind upon which topredicate an apllcatlon for a commis-sion in lunacy and the suspension of

the trial.'->'"' Mr. Jerome realizes that he must be:'sure of his ground before asking for a

Icommission and he certainly willnottake tnat step until some of the state's

E alienists have gone upon the stand.Dr. Allen McLano Hamilton, who

'was employed for a time by the de-fense and who visited Thaw In the

y.Tombs,. Is expected to be the most im-

portant expert witness of the prosecu-'"\u25a0 tion. Dr. Hamilton is known to have

expressed the opinion that Thaw's In-;sanity was of a lasting character. Mr..IJerome was laying the foundation forDr. Hamilton's testimony when ad-journment was taken Friday afternoon.

IHe • asked Dr. Evans, witness for thedefense, if Dr. Hamilton was not re-Igarded as an authority on various dis-

eases.

Other Democratic senators, however,oppose the measure for other reasons,and if the gulf state element shouldcease opposition it would be renewedby their colleagues. Moreover, thehouse leaders have practically servednotice upon the senate that If the billshould be amended in any respect bythe senate it would be impossible to ob-tain action in the house because of theopposition there.

In the meantime there willbe someeffort to reach a common "round, butno one hopes for success. The princi-pal opposition today came from Demo-cratic senators who were interested inthe commerce in the gulf of Mexico,and it has been suggested that if fur-ther provision could be made in thatinterest they would accept the bill.

After this episode a cessation of hos-tilities until 5 o'clock was secured. Atthat hour it was immediately apparentthat no progress had been made towardharmony. Senator Gallinger then sug-gested a further postponement until to-morrow at 11 o'clock. All agreed tothis proposition.

This was voted down, but variousother motions, all dilatory, were Intro-duced by Democratic senators, and not-withstanding they were all defeated,it< was perfectly understood that thedetermined opposition at ro late anhour in the session meant the ultimatedefeat of the measure unless someagreement could be reached.

Motion Voted Down

The Republicans were therefore wellaware of the probable fate of the billwhen at 1:30 o'clock Senator Oalllngerwho had charge of the bill, moved toconcur in the house amendments. Thismotion was immediately met by acounter-motion to postpone considera-tion until tomorrow.

Several of them held an Informal con-ference and after deciding that the bill

should not pass in its present shape,they instructed, their caucus leader,Senator Blackburn, to convey this In-formation to the Republican leaders.

By Associated Press.WASHINGTON, March 2.—There will

be no ship subsidy legislation during

the present session of congress. This

fact was practically conceded by allwhen the senate supporters of the sub-sidy billagreed late today to allow thesubject to go over until tomorrow.

The failure of the measure will bedue to the opposition of v Democraticsenators, which was so pronounced asto cause them to fli. uater for morethan an hour today. The position ofdemocratic senators was made knownto their Republican colleagues earlytoday.

BROTHERS INSANE;SAYS ALIENITS

MILLIONS ADDEDTO SUPPLY BILLS

"When this point was brought up atthe New York hearing," he said, "theinterstate commerce commissionersthought they were developing somenew and startling facts, when as amatter of fact the whole thing wasancient history."

Then Harrlman pointed out that theChicago & Alton lißtingin the circularreferred to the payment of the 30 percent dividend "Upon the preferred andcommon stock.

"The annual Increase in the interestpayments and dividends is $800,000 atthe most, after spending $22,000,000upon the property. This has been in-creased threefold because of the in-crease in facilities."

"There may be between $2,000,000 and$2,500,000 obligations not included inthe above. Including this it wouldmake the amount of obligations todate about $110,000,000, instead of $107,-00,000. Our payment to security hold-ers has not increased, taking into ac-count $22,000,000 of new capital put Inthe property.

Amounts Not Included

"To this might be added $8,000,000of equipment trust notes, but the lat-ter are being paid out of the Income,so that the amounts are withheld from,the security holders until the equip-ment trust notes and bonds are re-deemed, and therefore it is not alto-gether a capital charge. So it wouldseem of the $107,000,000 of security Is-sued $90,000,000 has been paid out.

"As against that there were issuedof the Chicago & Alton Railroad com-pany the new company $22,000,000 of3':.. per cent bonds, $20,000,000 of pre-ferred stock. $20,000,000 of common stockand $45,000,000 of 3 per cent bonds ofthe Chicago & Alton Railroad com-pany's refunding 3s, or a total of $107.-00,000.

"It was stated at that time that thecharter provided for new constructionand that the line had been surveyedhut had not yet been constructed. Itcost the Chicago & Alton for the St.Louis, Peoria & Northern Railwaycompany for fifty-seven miles about$42,000,000. There was expended uponthe property about $22,000,000, the pro-ceeds of the sale of $31,000,000 of re-funding 3h and the collateral trustbonds against which $7,000,000 of therefunding 3s produced $26,000,000, mak-ing a total of $90,000,000.

Short Line Expensive

"All the so-called charges made ntthe recent hearing In New York nrefully covered in the application in Oc-tober. 1900, for listing the Chicago &Alton railway securities in the NewYork exchange and every point broughtby the Interstate commerce commissionthe other day was Riven publicity atthat time. This circular to which Trefer mentioned the fact that $31,988,000In 3 per cent bonds were sold to thestockholders at 65. ana that theamount. J22.144.t77.G6. that had formallybeen charged to Income, was properljcharged to construction.

"In View of the Unfair methods Ofthe administration, as carried out bythe commission, there Is no incentivefor B man to be successful, but ] amsure thai In the end the Americanspirit will prevail. That is more tothe purpose than a 'square deal.' Wemay have n square deal but unfairplay, There seems to be a tendencyamong unsuccessful people to assailthose Who are successful.

"There who not a single new pointbrought out in the inquiry. 11 wassimply a rehash of matter which wasgiven wide publicity several yearsago, This continual reform agitationshows the animosity thai exists todayagainst men and corporations thathave made a success, The Interstatecommerce commission could producefar better results If the memberswould co-operate with the financial In-terests of the country instead of an-tagonising them.

"Mr. Roosevelt Is a very able man,' 1

he continued. "He is capable of doingthings ifthere were only more fixityofpurpose."

"It is too bad that a man with suchan alert mind as President Roosevelthas should not have subjected himselfto more discipline," said Edward H.Harrlman during an interview on hisown cross-examination before the Inter-state commerce commission.
