PRESSURE ON THE SENATE
House- Leaden Determined to Fast
Some Currency Bill.
MEMBERS BEING CALLED BACK
Secretary Wilson ,Wnll In Iowa
Will Make Severn! Speeches for
Senator Allison and Cos
arresamaa Hepbnrn.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 25. 8pclal Tele
gram.) While members of the house were
standing about In groups today discussing
the probability of adjournment the ser-geant-at-arms
.was sending "hurry back"
messages to thirty or forty.representatlves,
who sre at home looking after their poli
tical fences. These messages grew out of
a conference of leader yesterday and last
night upon tha subject of currency legis
lation and Speaker Cannon, realises the
necessity for action on the part of the
republican party looking to the passage of
some remedial legislation affectlrar the cur
rency. If things work out according to the pro
gram adopted today the house will pass
an amended form of the Vreeland bill with
n emergency currency clause sufficiently
broad and comprehensive to take care of
any future money stringency like that of
October last and give the banks power to
deposit certain classes of bonds In order to
withdraw money from the treasury to
counteract any threatened stringency. This
bill will be put up to the senate and it Is
thought with such force will be given the
measure that senste will not dare refuse
the demand ot the country for such legis
lation. In the meantime all auguments having
failed to get the house leaders to set a
definite time for an ajournment. Impatient
senatora who are anxious to get away from
Washington are now hopeful that the hot
rays of old Sol will make Speaker Cannon
and his associates realize that It is time to
quit. It Is, however, a good bet that con
gress will ont adjourn until very late in
the week and It may run over into next
week.
Where Nebraskans Stand.
In this connection It can with truth be
said that Judge Norrls ot the Fifth Ne
braska :Ustrlct, and Earnest M. Pollard of
the First, have labored early and late, not
only, for currency legislation, but for a
publicity bill and for anti-Injunction legis
lation. From the beginning of the session
Judge Norrls in particular has worked for
these measures. This Is also true of Mr.
Pollard and true of the entire Nebraska
delegation, who have not allowed anything
to Interfere with their votes and labors
for the things which President Roosevelt
has earnestly suggested be done before the
present sessions of congress ceases.
Wilson to Seak In lows.
Secretary Wilson of the Agricultural de
partment will arrive in Iowa tomorrow,
having left for the west on Saturday, spend
ing today In Chicago. Secretary Wilson goes
home for two purposes, to meet officials
of the Agricultural department at Ames,
la., and to make four speeches In the
Eighth congressional district of Iowa, now
represented by Colonel "Pete" Hepburn, for
Senator Allison and congressman. These
speeches will be made on the 27th and 2Sth
In Lucas and Wayne counties and will have
special reference to the work done by
these two cltlzensVof the Hawkeye state.
Minor Matters at Capital.
' Judge Norrls, unlike the rest of his col
leagues of the house delegation, will leave
for home Immediately after the adjourn
ment of congress for the reason that one of
his daughters Is 111 with mumps, and it Is
expected his other daughters will be af
flicted In the same way. It is thought Judge
Norrls will leave for home about July 1.
George Doane Keller of Omaha, who was
nominated by Senator Brown for a cadet
ship at West Point, has tendered his resig
nation. Mr. Keller passed a successful ex
amination and would have entered school
In the fall. No reason is assigned, however,
for his action.
Henry F. Schuder has been appointed

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE
Conference Report of Sundry Civil
Bill Agrd To.
WASHINGTON, May 26. An effort to
annihilate time by dilatory tactics, with
out making progress on any legislation ex
cept that Involved the conference re
ports, was the chief occupation of the sen
ate today under the leadership of Mr. Al
drlch. The attempt was so successful that
the net result In the way of accomplishment
of the day's session was the adoption of the
conference, report on the sundry civil ap
propriation bill.
Throughout the day Mr. Beverldge was
busy in an effort to get a vote on the bill
compensating government employes for in
juries received in the line of duty, but after
the debate had progressed far enough to
develop various objetcions to the language
of the bill, Mr. Hale arose to say he had
Information from the house that no action
could be expected there today on the con
ference report on the public buildings bill,
and until that measure should be disposed
of the deficiency appropriation bill could
not be perfected, after which he moved an
adjournment.
Mr. Beverldge resorted to some tactics to
keep the senate in session to consider his
bill, but Mr. Hale, amid laughter, remarked
that "there are some things the senate
can do without the consent of the senator
from Indiana." and Insisted upon a vote
upon his motion.
Tha senate, at 4:40 o'clock, adjourned.

COURT FINDS THAW INSANE
Decision Given Under Which Re Muit
Stay in Asylum.
JUDGE GIVES BEAS0N FOR ACT
Find Prisoner Menace to Society,
Holding; He Did Not Show
Sanity in Trial When
Possible.
rOUGHKEEFSTE, N. Y.. May 25 -Harry
K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White,
will not be released from the lunatic asy
lum. Thl I th decision reached by Jus
tice Morschauser of the supreme court In
an opinion filed early this morning In the
matter of Thaw ppltcation for release
on a writ of habeas corpus.
Both points brought up by Thaw's at
torney are decided against him. The Jus
tice declares that Thaw I now Insane and
hould not be allowed at large, and he fur
ther declare that the commitment to the
lunatic asylum by Justice Dowllng after
the last trial of the case wa entirely legal.
Prisoner Reslarned to Fate.
Thaw ha accepted apparently with
resignation th decision of Supreme Court
Justice Morschauser that he Is still Insane
nd that the Interests of the publlo will be
best served by denying him liberty. Pend
ing th signing of the paper of recommit
ment, which probably will not bo done
before a week from next Saturday. Thaw
will occupy Sheriff Chander' ulte In the
County building her.
In the meantime an effort will be made
by Thaw' attorney to Indue District At
torney Jerome to consent to the commit
ment of the prisoner to one ot the state
hoepltals other than Matteawan. It Is
said that in the event of Mr. Jerome giv
ing his consent to such a change no appeal.
will be taken from Justice Morschauser s
decision. Even if an appeal were taken"1t
could not be argued before fall.
Decision of the Conrt.
Justice Morschauser' decision In part 1
a follows:
A writ of habeas corpus was allowed by
which Harty K. Thaw was directed to be
produced In court. In the petition it is
slleged that Thew was illegally imprisoned
fcnd restrained of his liberty )y Amos T.
IfaltVr, acting superintendent ot Matteawan
Etute Hospital for the Insane.
Thaw's detention was attacked upon the
grounds:
FirstThnt he Is now sane.
Seoond-That the act undr the provisions
of which he was committed and detained
Is unconstitutional and the court was with
out Jurisdiction to lsaue the order of com
mitment and such order was null and void.
I am satisfied from the evidence adduced
before me that the mental condition ot
Harry K. Thaw has not changed and I find
that he la now Insane and that It is so
manifest as to mako it unsafe for him to
be at large.
Thaw had the opportunity on the trial
to Introduce evidence of his mental condi
tion at that time, which he did not do. He
should have known that the adjudication of
the court would follow a verdict of not
guilty by reason of Insanity ; he was repra
sented by able counsel, who urged th Jury
befor whom he was tried upon a charge
of homicide to acquit him because of his
Insanity.
Statute Not Passed Upon,
I have made a careful examination of
the authorities and I do not find that this
statute has ever been passed upon by any
of. the courts in this state. It has been
in existence and operation for many years
without question, and It Is the duty of thi
court to presume In favor of the validity
of the statute until Its violation of the
constitution Is established beyond all rea
sonable doubt, and upon such a determina
tion the result which msy follow from one
construction or another Is always a potent
factor and Is sometime In and of Itself
conclusive.
In construing this statute It should be
borne in mind that the ssfety and welfare
of the community is of more Importance
than the freedom of the individual.
The relator claims that the statute does
rot provide a method by which Thaw can
be discharged.
Section 99 of the Insanity law provides;
"Any Inmate, not a convict, held upon an
order of a court or Judfre In a criminal
proceeding mav be discharged therefrom
upon the superintendent's certificate of re
covery, made to and approved by such
court or Judge."
GREEN "PILLS AROUSE IRE
O,oack Nostrum Thrown in Yard and
Residents Wonld Like to
Find the Man.
Some makers of pale green pill, who re
gard the healthfulnesa of th community
as a menace to their prosperity, are scat
tering sample packages of their goods in
the front yards of Omaha residences. Lit
erature" of th almanac variety proclaim
In four languages the Wonderful cureallat
lveness of th pills, assuring th prospec
tive consumer that each and all the III
flesh 1 heir to will vanish when th pale
green pellet enter the system.
When the (ample were found in th
yard otjiomea near th business district
much Indignation wa aroused among
parent, whose children were found In pos
session of the package. On child wa
discovered in the act of eating the pills
and measures were Instantly taken to pre'
vent possible Injury. Fortunately no barm
resulted. The neighbor md every effort
to find the dlstrbuter of the samples,
but he could not be located, neither did
the package contain th nam of any local
druggist to whom th outrage could be
traced. Had th dlstrbuter been caught
with the goods he would have received a
few lasting Impressions ot the indignation
of at least one lusty father.
In this particular neighborhood, a few
yeara ago, a family lost a child by precisely
similar means and the memory of that sor
rowful tragedy whetted th desire to catch
and punish tha author ot th lsst "out
rage. One of the sampl pills which rolled
Into a small hole in the sidewalk ot one
home was dissolved by Sunday' rain and
left on th (tone a blue-green blotch a
large a a footprint in a mudpuddle. Th
color almost harmonized with the sur
rounding lawn, but could hardly be con
sidered attractive a an Interior decoration
for Infant.

Dischargee.
Henry Wegworlh Indignantly denKd that
ho was a suspicious character. He had
been arrested while peddling a box of
cigars. In police court he demanded to
know whether It wa a crime to conduct
a Jobbing business; whether In this rapidly
growing and expanding commonwealth It
was not praiseworthy to be the captain of
Industry behind a great enterprise. It was
pointed out to him that he had neither
otflce nor manufactory, neither retail store
nor Jobbing building nor warehouse. He
further demanded whether It was a crime
to be without these.
Have rot men who are today owner of
vast department stores started with their
entire stocks on their backs? Have not
men who are wealthy brewers started by
peddling their wares in a wheelbarrow?
Might not he some day be the head of the
great house Of Henry Wegworth & Co.,
wholesale and retail dealer In fine to
baccos? It was true,' and the court decided that
A man of Wegworth's persuasive powers
might become a captain of Industry.
Ho was discharged.
