This amendment pro vide that when a petition la filed for pav ing the kind of paving la specified.

Blar Cots In Appropriation. , The aenate today started out on It first , general onslaught on the wholeaale appro priation of the house and aa a result of the day- work a rexhictlon of 1221.000 was made. This, added to the So.OCO cut In the Lincoln Insane asylum appropriation made two or three daya ago, makes the total reductions mnde by the senate rm.OOO so far, with the likelihood of atlll further cuts. The largest reduction was made In the atate university and state farm appropria tlon. The bill carrying a general fund appropriation of $180,000 for. building at the atate farm was Indefinitely postponed on recommendation of the aenate finance committee, and the bill appropriating the university 1 mill levy waa amended to cut out. the 1 0",000 for an engineers' building on the campus and to provide for the ex penditure of the money on buildings at the ' state farm. This In effect cuts out $100,000 from the university and from the state farm. All of the money expended for buildings will have to be taken from the funds rulsed by the 1 mill' levy. The senate also applied the pruning knife to the Kearney Industrial school appropria tion by cutting out the i,000 expenditure for the purchase of additional land. The fund for building and furnishings at the . .Norfolk asylum waa cut 19,000, $5,000 was lopped off the bill providing for an appro priation of $7,500 for the Investigation of animal disease and the bill carrying $2,000 ' for a fish sub-hatchery In Cherry county wo killed. These reductions were made In the senate ,wlth only one tight and that was waged under the leadership of Senator McKes son to prevent the $180,000 reduction on the State university bill. When the committee reported the bill for Indefinite postponement Ashtcn of Hall moved that Instead the bill ' be placed on general file. The motion created considerable discussion. In which Byrne of Platte Joined with Ashton and McKesson. In the discussion It came out i tiiat an attempt will be made to Increase ths limit on the amount which may be levied for the general fund from 6 to 8 mill and It also developed there will be considerable opposition to that move. Kp- S person of Clay declared he would fight to ' the limit to prevent It The motion to place the bill on general file was lost by a vote ' of Id S, Ashton, Burns (Lancaster), Byrne (Platte), Goodrich, McKesson and O'Connell voting for It. i. .Allotment of Fands. .

The motion wa lost by a vote of i to 28, Burn of Lan - caster voting with McKesson. The amended bill provides for the dis tribution of the $100,000 allotted to atate farm" buildings a follows: For the completion of the women's butld I1 ing, $20,000, heat and power, plant, $35,010; veterinary clinic and . stock and grain judging pavilion, $30,000; cattle feeding ..' plant, barn for Implements, machinery and ' bouse for tenants, $15,000. The, buildings cut out were a horticultural building to cost $40,000 and a poultry building to cost : $6,000. Because of the failure of the house to take up senate files there Is- a likelihood that the senate will adjourn Friday evening ' until Monday afternoon, leaving the house to jog along alone. Many of the senator Who have bill of more or less Importance that are being held up In the house ore In favor of holding up the Important appro priation bills and In this way fore the house to get busy on senate file. , Senator Patrick, this afternoon made a motion .that ; when the senate adjourn tomorrow after boon It be until Monday at t o'clock.

Several amendments were sub mitted, but the house was In no mood for amendments and they were, all voted down with very f.w votes In their favor. Rejikel of Tied Willow wanted to strike "live stock" out r-f the' bill, and Snyder of Harlan said the live stock shippers had no complaint to make of ratee. but what they wanted was service. Dodge of Douglas was of the opinion the entire mutter should be left to the railway com mission and he made a lengthy review of the history of the commodity freight rate bill killed by the Inst legleisture. and In asmuch as the bill will not go Into effect for ninety days he thought It unnecessary. Orel. Jen Icon. Noyee, Hsge, Melster snd Whlthsm were for the bill, while Farley thought It all right If It did not tie the hands of the commission on these com modities during the ninety days before It goes Into effect. Cone of Blunder said the bill wa not a maximum freight rnte bill, but was a political measure pure and simple and absolutely of no effoct except that It would force the railroad to com before the commission and make a showing If the rate were not compenatory.

Years. make THAW UNDER EXAMINATION Slayer of Stanford Whit Questioned for Two Honrs hj Lutasy CoamUtioi. REARING HELD BEHIN6 CLOSED DOORS Jerome's Rxaerta Kxcladed Deeplte Hla Emphatic Protest Thaw's lawyers Pleased with Day's Work. NEW TORK, March 28.-Harry K. Thaw for two hours today submitted himself to a running fire of questions from, the thre men appointed by Justice Fltxgerald a a commission In lunacy to determine his present state of mind. The examination was conductod behind closed door and. when a few minutn before t o'clock thl afternoon an adjournment wa taken until 10 o'clock Saturday morning, no one at the hearing would discuss the details. Thaw went willingly and confidently before hi Judges, and when the two hour secret session wi concluded hi attorney ap peared with smiling face and declared they were more than satisfied with the course of the proceedings. District At torney Jerome hurried away from the criminal courts building declining abso lutely to say one word about the commis sion' work. Scope of Iaaalrr Limited. The most Important feature of the day wa the decision of the commission to limit the scope of Its Inquiry to the exact lan guage of the statute to determine solely the question as to whether or not Harry K. Thaw Is able today to understand the nature of the court proceedings against him and la able to advise his counsel In a rational manner. District Attorney Jerome announced to the commission that all the legal expert he had employed In the Case had advised him -that Thaw was suffering from a typical case of paranoia a disease of the mind In which the recoveries are limited to 1 or 8 per cent. He offered to adduce testimony to support thl state ment, but the commission waived It aside, saying the purpose of the inquiry wa a very simple one and Jiad to do not with any classification of mental disease, but with the prisoner' present state of mind aa Judged by laymen. In laying down this decision the commis sion confronted the district attorney with the very position he has maintained in putting Thaw on trial for his life. Mr. Jerome contends Thaw was suffering from paranoia on the night of June 26 last, when he shot and killed Stanford White, but he added that paranolacs often have knowledgo of what they are doing and that Thaw knew the nature and quality of his act In killing White and knew that the act was wrong. Thus, while medical ex perts may determine today that Thaw Is still suffering from paranoia, the question to which the lunacy commission had ad dressed Itself deal solely with Thaw's knowledge a to the proceeding against him and his ability to advise his lawyers. Jerome's Protest Overrated. The commission got under way with a rush this afternoon and plunged at once Into the personal examination of the de fendant. District Attorney Jerome pro tested at first that he was not able to pro ceed, saying he would like to have his medical advisers present. He finally stated he would have no objection to the examina tion going forward providing he was per mitted to reserve hi croc examination. The commission forthwith settled the question of experts by excluding them from the room, along with everyone else, except the defendant and his counsel, the district attorney and Assistant District Attorney Oa-ryan. A to .the crews examination by Ihe district attorney the commission. Said' the matter would be taken up when It wo reached. - It la stated that during most of the two hour Thaw was before the commission the notes and letter he has written to hla counsel alnce the trial bogan were tinder consideration. TO put Thaw thoroughly at eaae the commissioners addreased their questions to him In a conversational tone and in a casual manner, aa though he were In conference with them, asked him from time to time to explain Incidents In the trial which had called forth certain of the letter placed before the commission by Thaw' attorney. It waa said that Thaw answered the questions calmly and went Into lengthy explanations of some of the notes he had addressed to Mr. Delmaa while hla trial was In progress. These notes and letters were made a part of the af fidavit filed by Mr. Delmas with Justice Fltagcrald when Thaw's counsel were op posing the appointment ef a commission. Ro Session Friday. Thaw's examination waa not concluded today and he will appear again before the commission when it meet Saturday morn ing, no session being scheduled for tcmor row Oood Friday. - The Ba turd ay session will be held behind closed doors. The commission did not de termine whether or not a physical examine Man of the defendant would be necessary. There was an Intimation, however, that the men who are to report as to Thaw's pres ent condition would content themselves with an observation of him during his men tal examination. One commisttoner,' Dr. rutsel, 1 a physician and an expert In mental diseases. If the commission should decide a physical examination Is necessary Dr. Putiel will probably make. It. The commission began Its Inquiry today by an open session, called to order shortly after o'clock, In the room where the Thaw trial has been In progress since January t3. Thaw appeared to be In excellent spirits and sat unflinchingly under the steady gasa the comrrfUuloners turned upon him. In the big court room there were only the newspaper reporters and three of the prisoner's fam ily, his wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who ha never missed an' opportunity to be near him since he was placed on trial, and his two brothers. Edward and Joslah Thaw. Clifford W., Hartrldge, acting aa counsel of record for Thaw,' stated to the comml ion that hls-client was ready at any time to submit to such examination as the com mission desired. His only request was that the hearing should be private. "Being a prbxmer on trial for his life," sold Mr. Hartrldge. "he feela he should be protected us far as possible In this matter." Jerome's Kaperts Exoladed. ' Chairman MoClure then announced that whatever examination of Thaw the com mission might decide upon would be held behind closed doors. District Attorney Jerome protested.. He said he would like to have his medical advisers present. He had called the court's attention to Thaw's mental state upon reports submitted to him by ths alienists and he felt thelr presence was essential. Mr. Jeratn remarked that If the commission resolved Itself Into a body of medical examiners and undertook a physical examination of ths defendant In private, he would not attend such an exam ination. . ' "But ths law requires you to attend the session of the commission," suggested Chairman isVciure, "I shall sttend all sessions of the com mission sitting as Judges In lunacy," re plied Mr. Jerome, "but I am not required to attend a board of medical examiners." It was after thla oUloquy with the district attorney that the commlsslta decided to proceed at once with Thaw's mental ex amination and the court room was cleared. t Ouce during the fallowing two hours Dis trict Attorney Jerome came outslda. He was plied with questions aa to how the ex amination was prrareneUts;, but would make no direct reply. Ills shsence was taken to Indicate that the commissioners were con ducting their own examination according to plans previously agreed upon among themselves. Thaw's attorneys while they would not divues 11 u- pHn'weilifigs pointed with a show of enthusiasm to the duration of to day's teat as an Indication of how well their client had withstood the commission' Interrogallone. Attorney Delinaa was present, but took no part In the proceedings. It was said. When the Inquiry bonan he directed Chair man MoClure to Mr. Hartrldge when the counsel of record wa called fcr. Thaw's Attorneys Dellahted. Referring tonight to the day' proceed ings Mr, Hartrldge said: "Harry came out with flylna; colors. He remembered more about the case than I did. We ore confident of the outcome." It Is understood the commission proposes to take Thaw through the trial from Its be ginning In order to test his memory as to what has occurred In the court. To this end. It was stated, the prisoner was ques tioned today regarding the part taken by him In the selection of the Jury.
