THAW CASE IN OTTAWA PARLIAMENT
Sms——
Dr. Charles C. Wagner of State Mos-
NEW YORK, Feb 12-It has been
learned here that President Roosevelt
bas officially asked Postmaster Gen-
eral Cortelyou whether it is feasible to
bar from the malls the papers that
publish the full disgusting particulars
of the Thaw case and requesting that
If it can be done thet the malls be
closed to them as soon as possible.
Mr. Cortelyou Is now waiting for a
legal opinion from Assistant Attorney
General Goodwin of the postoflice de-
partment
President Roosevelt has received a
number of protests from persons who
think that the newspapers printing the
full details of the Thaw case should be
prohibited transmission through the
malls. One of these was a long tele-
gram from a newspaper, the uae of
which was not given out at the White
House.
The recent discussion of the question
in Capada, notably In the Canadian
parilament, and the siatement of the
postmaster general at Otfawa, who
was reporfed to have siid that any
newspaper publishing such evidence
as that given in the Thaw case last
Thursday would be gullty of & mis-
demeanor under the Canadian law, al-
so was brought to the attention of the
president.
Answering an hypothetical question
covering every detall of the testimony
up to this time in the Thaw trial, In-
cluding Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
narration of her life history to the de-
fendant, Dr. Charles G. Wagner, su-
perintendent of the State Hospital For
the Insane at Binghamton, N. Y., de
clared on the witness stand that In his
opinion Harry K. Thaw did not know
that the act was wrong when he shot
and killed Stanford White on the roof
Dr. Wagner stepped aside for later
cross examination by District Attorney
Jerome, and as court adjourned it was
announced that the defense would next
proceed with the testimony of other
alienists
The taking of Dr. Wagner's opinion
of a hypothetical question, the man
under consideration being the author
of the letters which have been Intro
duced as emanating from Harry Thaw
during the period of his estrangement
with Evelyn Nesbit after their return
from Europe in 1903, followed a day of
almost continuous legal sparring be
tween Delphin M. Delmas for the de
fense and Mr. Jerome for the prosecu-
tion.
Mr. Jerome effectually blocked the
completion for the time being of the
firect testimony of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw
by lusisting that before she should go
further competent testimony as to
Thaw's unsoundness of ind should be
placed before the jury. Mr. Delmas
tried to carry forward the youug wife's
story, but the district attorney was on
his feet with objection to every
question asked. Mrs. Thaw bad been
recalled as the third witness of the
day. One of her predecessors was J, D.
Lyen, vice president of the Unlon Na:
tional bank of Pittsburg, who stated
that be had received Harry Thaws
will from the latter's own hands some
time prior to April 1, 1906, and had
beld it In 8 safe deposit box until late
In Nevember last, when he directed
his secretary to forward It to John B.
Gleason of Thaw's counsel
When young Mrs. Thaw was called
lo the stand she was dressed precisely

Just week. As sbe was taking her
seat Mr. Delmas turned to the district
attorney and renewed his demand of

was passed by Mrs. Thaw to her hus.

ihe tragedy should be produced. Mr.
Jerome upon the occasion of the first
jemand had remained silent, but now
he was on his feet at once, saying he
would send for the slip of paper. It
wis brought and identified by Mrs.
Thaw and then read by Mr. Delmas,
i= follows:
“The b— was here a minute ago, but
went out again.”
The contents of the note caused a
surprise only as to the exact wording
It had generally been supposed that
the note read, “The b— is here” Mrs.
Thaw testified that “the b-" meant
“the blackguard,” as Thaw always so
referred to Stanford White,
The only other essential point Mrs.
Thaw was allowed to bring out in
her testimony was the statement that
the defendant never carried a pistol
¢ cept when In New York city. She
was asked many other questions em-
bodying various stories she had dis
cussed with Thaw, including the al-
Ljeged fate of a girl who was sald to
have died In an almshonse and known
to them as “the ple girl” at the hands
of Stanfard White, hat Mr. Jemme

After compelling the defense fo go

tion that Dr. Wagner gave It as his
opinion that Harry Thaw did not

examination was ended, and he stepped
aside for cross examination later.

Ing to the testimony given by Mingo
Sanders, former first sergeant of Com
pany B of the Twenty-fifth infantry,
before the senate committee on miil-
tary affairs,
Sanders’ story created something of
a stir in the committee, as he said that
while running from his quarters to
Company B barracks after being awak-
ened by the firing on the nizht of Aug.
13 the shooting was going on, and It
came from the town and was toward
the hospital on the military reserva-
tion. He sald bullets were whizzing
over his head. This is the first direct
testimony gives by any of the dis-
charged negro soldiers that the firing
came from the town.
Sanders has served for twenty-five
years, six months and twenty-three
days, including the campaign in Cuba
and three years In the Philippines. He
said he bad never been court martial.

with to his knowledge. At Browns
ville be had = house to the left of com-
pany quarters and directly in front of
the hospital
His story of the Incidents of tbe
night of Aug. 18 was like others until
he told of his experiences In trying to
get to the barracks after being awak-
ened by the shooting. He sald be
started on a run to B quarters, and
Just after leaving his house the firing
was renewed. It came from the town,
he sald, and bullets were flying thick
and fast over his head. As he reached
C quarters he sald he saw that men
assembled were excited and shouting
to each other.
“I beard some one yell ‘Fall in!'"” he
sald. “Then some one shouted to get
the guns, and another person answer
ed that they could not get the guns, as
the racks were locked and the man
with the keys could not Le found.
Then Lieutenant Greer (I koew his
voice) sald, ‘Break those rucks open.’ ”
There has been a great deal of test
mony given concerning the broken
racks of Company C, but no person had
testified positively before as to the
manner fn which they were broken.
The testimony of Sanders Indicated
that the racks were In good condition
before the shooting and were broken
open by the command of one of the
company officers.
Continuing his testimony, Sanders
told of finding his own company In
confusion and of his efforts to straight.

the men down on their knees and that
others were yelling to put out the lan.

men to stand up and be soldiers and
that It was better to be shot In the
ranks than out,” sald Sanders. “When
the men did not stand up I told them
some other things I don't want to re-
peat bere.”
On cross examination Sanders sald
that he could not tell as to who started
the firing
Sanders sald that he bad nothing to
do with the shooting, did not know any
one who had, did not suspect any one
and bad made diligent inquiries among
the men to find out from them what, if
anything, they knew and had been un
able to get any Information. He de
clared that he had not withheld any
information and that there was no con-
spiracy of silence. Sanders detalled an
interview he had with General Garling-
ton. He asked tbat he be reinstated.
“The only reason [ did not give Gen:
eral Garlington Information.” he said,
“was because | had none to give”
Sanders, cross examined by Senator
Warner, repeated that many of the
shots came from the town and sald
that he had reported this fact to Major
Penrose, although it did not appear In
his evidence taken by Captain Lyons
Indeed, he sald, he had not stated this
to any one else until this time. He had

Nothing Definite Yet Decided In Re-

In California — Sabjeect to
President's Call,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—-When the
White House conference was conclud
ed Mayor Schmitz of Ran Francisco
made the statement that, although the
president, Secretary of State Hoot and
the Califorplans had still further dis
cussed the Japanese school question
nothing definite had been accomplished
and that there would be another meet.
ing, subject to the call of the president.
It bas been agreed that the whole
considered at a8 cabinet
Mayor Schmitz de
clined to say whether the question of
excluding the Japanese coolies by con
gressional legislation formed a part of
their proposition which was submitted
Mayor Schmitz and other members
of the San Francisco delegation have
received hundreds of telegrams urging
them to advocate a treaty excioding
the Japanese laborer and legisiation
by congress to carry the provisions of
this treaty Into effect
The mayor has admitted to members
of the California delegation in congress
that while he is very anxious to reach
a satisfactory agreement with Pres!
dent Roosevelt and stands willing to
make any concessions that will be for
the good of the whole country, yet he
hesitates In making any agreement that
people of California. The private gis
patches Trom the coast have in all in-
stances indicated the great interest that
the people of California have fn the Is
sue.
It can be authoritatively stated that
the president has appealed to Mavor
Schmitz and his associates to bring the
anti-Japanese agitation to an end by
rescinding the school board's order for
the establishment of oriental schools.
Under the California law the gues-
tion of separate schools was left to the
discretion of the schoal authorities,
and before the earthquake disaster the
Japanese were admitted to the white
schools
When asked the direct question
whether the proposition submitted by
the San Francisco delegation called for
the exclusion of Japanese coolle labor
from this country Mayor Schmitz re
plied:
“We are not mhking a treaty and
Lave not discussed with the president
the question of excluding the Japanese
from this country by treaty. We heard
the president's views aud presented
our side of the questions at issue.
“It now remains for us to modify
our views in order to reach nn agree
ment with the president or for Mr
Roosevelt to modify bis views to reach
an agreement with us. The conference
was adjourned subject to the call of
the president.”
