I W II III COMMISSION NAMED TO PASS ON DEFENDANT'S SANITY. JUDGE FITZGERALD'S RULING I Affidavits So Widely at Variance!

Justice Fitzger ald unexpectedly ordered a commis sion in lunacy to inquire into tho '. present atate erf mind of Stanford Whites slayer, ine decision oi uiu three disinterested men named to con duct the inquiry will guide tho future action or tho court mi to ordering Thaw to an asylum or directing that tho trial shall proceed. Justice Fitzgerald announced the nnnolntment of the commission pri ll vntely in his chambers. Evelyn Nes- bit Thaw was there with tho lawyers, and it became her task to break tho news to her husband In tho Tombs. rueful when she left tho judge's ' . ... ..1...I....1 .........,. i. ,.n. ii.... rooms 111 IIIO C11111IUUI uuiliut unimiiib, tho young woman was smiling and cheerful when Thaw was brought to tiro hospital ward of tho prison to meet her. Thaw received tho court's 'iKHceislou philosophically and said ho Jj'( knd no doubt th commission would tl dccla.ro him a sane man. I Followlnc are tfce commissioners: L ... Moman .1. O'Htien, a lormer justice of tho appellate division of tho su- nrenie court: Peter H. Olnoy, former district attorney of Now York county; Dr. Leopold Putzt-l, a practicing pnysi clan and authority on mental disor ders. Tho lunacv commission will bo at tended by District Attorney Jerome. The lawyers for tho defendant will he prcsont and tho commission may direct and compel tho attendance of probable that Thaw will be asked first of ajl to submit tQ. a rigid physi cal examination. Having undergone several of these since his incarcera tion, ho l-s somewhat nervous on this subject, but it was said by his coun sel that ho would do anything in his power to aid the commission in its work, and he hoped for an early opin ion as to his sanity. Thaw's lawyers and the defendant himself were down cast when first made acquainted with Justice Fitzgerald's decision, but all' were manifestly pleased when the lat er aunouueement as to the personnel of the committee of inquiry was made. Mr. Del mas in particular declared that Justice Fitzgerald could hardly have selected a more generally satisfactory committee, one whose decision could . command more respect. District At torney Jerome seemed pleased with his efforts. Tho law under which the commis sion is appointed provides that the commissioners must take oaths as referees and may compel tiie attend ance of witnesses. The statute then j proceeds: "When the commissioners have con-i eluded -their examination they must forthwith report tho facts to tho court with their opinion thereon. If tho commission ilnds the defendant insane the trial or judgement must be sus pended until ho becomes sane and the court, If It deems his dischnrgo, dangerous to the public peace or safe ty, must order thnt ho be, In tho , meaut'me, committed by tho sheriff) to a state lunatic asylum, and upon; his becoming sane he be redelivered by the supetlntendent of the asylum to the sheriff. When received into nn asylum he must he detained thoro ' until he becomes sane. Then the su piintndeut must give writteu notice of the fact to a Ju'dge of tho supreme court of the district in which the asy lum Is situated. The Judge must re quire tlto sheriff, without delay, to bring the defendant from the asylum and place him in the proper custody until he Is brought to trial, judgment or execution, as tho case may he, or lie legally discharged." In announcing his decision to ap point a commission, Justice Fitzgerald read a written memorandum. Ho based his opinion on the conflict of affidavits from the opposing sides, saying they were too diametrically at odds to permit a decision-other than in favor of an impartial inquiry. j BOOST IN jjTOCK PRICES Sharp Recovery Is Feature of tho Day's Operations In Wall Street. Now York, March 27. A complete reveisal of sentiment marked trading in tho stock market. Although Lon don prices were lower, the New York exchange soon after the opening showed a much stronger tone than for some time past and quotations wero advanced sharply on very heavy buy ing. The bears began to retreat on rumors that further government as sistance for the money market was imminent, and when the formal an nouncement camo from Washington that such assistance was to bo given the shorts began to cover up their out standing contracts. At the sumo timo there was a renewal of purchases for investment. Tho trading was wild and excited, as tho bears sought to cover. Accompanying the upward movement was an industriously circu lated rumor that an enormous pool had been formed by the greatest hank ing houses in Wall street to support prices. Tills report, which lacked continuation, made it appear that $50,000,000 had been subscribed by bankers to buy stocks with the ob ject of putting a stop to the recent precipitate declines. Tho extreme ad vances reached to over seven points in most of the Ilarriman and Hill stocks, to six or over in St. Paul, Ca nadian Pacific and Smelting and from three to four points in a large number of tho most active stocks. Tho ex treme gains were pot all hold and tho closing tone of the market was rather Irregular. TERMINAL BILLT0 60VERN0R Conference Report Is Adopted In House by Vote of 58 to 25. Lincoln, March 27.

The heart Is perhaps the organ of the body least known by members of the medical profession, and many a man who has been told he would die lu u given time has outlived the doctor who pronounced bis tlo-nn. Heart disease is coming to Inspire less and less terror lu tho average man, ami nine men in ten who are al lotted ten years to live double that time to die of an entirely foreign com plaint. "Some years back," says Dr. Warren Schoouovcr, Jr., In the Medical Rec ord, "heart diseases were a cause of great worry and fright to the laity as well as to the profession, hut now they are bundled so successfully by the phy ttk'lnu that the patients live on under proper therapeutics until the end of thu term of their natural life without much difficulty from the diseased organ. In the practice of one physician was n case which was under tho care of hl.s grand fa tiier from 18U0 to 1S.I, his uncle from liri to 1H8U and himself from 1882 to 181M, when tho patient died at the age of ninety-three, having been under the care of the first physi cian for twenty-six years, the second for twenty-six years and the third for eleven years, ti total period of sixty three years." , 1 MmBSMlBMHHMTCHMBI Do You Eat Meat?
