to the Omnha charter haa thrown a loop
over Omaha and once again put that city
In the grssp of the paving contractor,
providing, bf course, the bill get through
; In thnt shnpp. An amendment haa been
ndopted by the committee - which Undoes
the work done by the delegation two years
ngo and by n lot of other people who oa
aleted the delrgatlon. This amendment pro
vide that when a petition la filed for pav
ing the kind of paving la specified. The
' present law provides the ndvertlsoments
j for paving are received and then the kind
la rpeclfled. Should the aenate accept the
t nmemlmenta It will mean that Omaha pav

! 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. .
At . the afternoon session whan Senator
- Root offered a motion to consider appro
priation , bills , without waiting for the
amendment to be printed McKesson moved
that all.he appropriation, bill go on their
'' paasag- without being considered at all.
lie declared an attempt wa being made
to "railroad", the bills either through the
senate or over the transom. 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.
' Senators King and Latta protested that
the senate should stay In session until the
finish, but several of the senators favored
'the motion. Patrick finally withdrew the
motion with the understanding he would
present It again tomorrow afternoon.
The senate this afternoon concurred In
the house amendment to the King antl-

In committee of the w"hole tonight the
house unanimously recommended for pas
sage fl. F. S2T). the Aldrich bill to reduce
freight rate 15 per cent on certain com
modities. 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. The
vote tonight indicate the bill Will pas the

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

show of enthusiasm to the duration of to
day's teat as an Indication of how well
their client had withstood the commission'

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.

success.' Tho troops now are acting with
Increased energy. A large number of riot

appear bolder and more determined, and

As an Indication of the arprehenslon ex

of Bucharest, as a measure of precaution,
ordered all shops In the city closed. This
order created the Impression that the riot

was wild panic until It waa learned these

encounter, 200 peasants were killed. 1
A squadron of hussars sent to Brabovm
earns In conflict with a band of peasants
and It Is reported that, fifty peasants were
killed. , j
The bombardment of ths three village
In the Vlaschka district In' which rioters
had taken -refuge undoubtedly resulted In
a large casualty list, but the exact numbers
cannot be learned. It Is known, however,
that several hundred peasants were ar- j
rested there.
There have been sanguinary encounters In
the district of DolJ and rumor places the
number killed and woundod In encounters
with the troops at several hundred.
The authorities' are beginning to- use ar
tillery to bombard the villages where the
rioters take refuge.
The peasants committed terrible atro
cities In the Buseo district, and the troops '
sent thither had order to suppres the dis
turbance at any coat.
It Is still impossible to give even an
approximate estimate of the number killed
or wounded since the beginning of the dis
orders, but there Is good reason to believe
that the reports have not been exaggerated
and that when the totals Anally ar learned
they will be greater than Is now supposed,

over. If the promises made to them by the

Some of the measures being adopted by
the authorities are most severe. Premier
eturdxa today secured the unanimous
adoption of a bill by both houses of Parlia
ment authorising the country to declare a
state of siege wherever this may be neces
sary. This step can be taken, however,
only by royal decree.
An official report Issued this afternoon
says order has been restored In Moldavia,
that prefects are traveling through the
troubled districts quieting the agitated j
peasants snd that disputes between peas
ants snd land owners are being settled
amicably.
In IJttle Wallachla, where the troubles

exists, energetlo measures are being taken
against Incendiaries and plunderers.
