Dictate Mode of
Procedure.
to
New York, April 2.—The Thaw luna
cy commission resumed Us public ses
sion this morning. Harry Thaw en
tered the room apparently calm. He
looked well. The prisoner nodded to
his wife os he was shown to a seat In
side the rail.
Dr. Frank A. McGuire, the Tombs
prison physician, wns the first witness.
He testified that he never saw any
thing unusual In Thaw’s actions. Th<
prisoner’s conversation, ho said, was
always intelligent and rational.
The next witness was Michael J.
Delahanty, a Tombs prison nttendant.
He testified that he had never noticed
anything Irrational In Thaw’s actions.
Wants Thaw Questioned.
Dletrlct Attorney Jerome Indicated
during the cross-examination that he
wished the commission to question
Thaw regarding Stanford White and
the architect’s den, where, It Is alleged,
Evelyn Nesblt was wronged. It Is un
derstood that Jerome was prevented
from touching on this subject during
the secret session of the commission.
When Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton
took the witness stand he was ques
tioned by Jerome. The doctor said he
first saw Thaw on Juno 27, 1906.
examined the young man. Hartrldge
objected to the witness stating the re
sult of his examination.
"At whose suggestion did you see
him?" asked Mr. McClure.
"By order of his .then counsel,” said
the doctor.
Jerome Offers Protest.
Jerome objected to the commlssl-.n
conducting the examination In- that
way. He read Justice Fitzgerald’s or
der creating the commission, and add-
ed:
"The commission must proceed in an
orderly way. They must proceed ac
cording to the rules of evidence."
"Just a moment," began Commission
er Olney. "This witness has pleaded
a professional privilege and It must be
recognized.”
Jerome insisted that the privilege hod
been waived. Commissioner McClure
ordered him to prove that point from
the record at the trial before he would
admit It.
□r. Hamilton Excused.
Jerome excused Dr. Hamilton and
called Stenographer Moyenlhan In an
efTort to get before the commission
the answer given by Dr. Hamilton to
Lawyer Gleason’s now famous question
relating to the present condition of
Harry K. Thaw.
"Did you take that statement by the
learned district attorney in which he
refused to make any stipulations with
Mr. Delmas and said ho would do so
with no one but the attorney of rec
mil 7" asked Hartrldge.
"I Interposed nn objection,” said Mr.
Jerome, "unless the doors were thrown
wide open. I argued that the matter
Mr. Delmas was trying to establish by
Dr. Hamilton was a reopening of the
case. I agreed that I would not object
If everything that Dr. Hamilton knew
was allowed."
Jeromo then told how Lawyer Glea
son had asked Dr. Hamilton:
"In your opinion Is the defendant at
this time capable of conferring ration
ally with his counsel?”
Dr. Hamilton said he had been en-.
abled to form an opinion of the condi
tion of Thaw at the investigation last
July.
"Thaw was suffering from chronic
delusional insanity, commonly called
paranoia,” said Dr. Hamilton. "People
do not recover from that, and. he Is
now suffering from It.”

WITH BABE IN ARMS
CHILD’S DRESS BLAZES;
DEATH FOLLOWS BURNS
PENSION FUND HARRIMAN SAYS ROOSEVELT
The girl on the left of the picture, dressed in white, is Fannie Belie
Lee, who was burned while caring for Her baby niece. Next to her is
Miss Ada Loe, her sitter, who saved the baby's life. On the right of the
picture is Mrs. J. H. Spivey, mother of the infant. The three children in
the foreground are members of the family.
Holding her sister’s baby In her arms
before an open grate late Monday
afternoon, Fannie Belle Lee, of 26 Jones
avenue, suddenly found her dress In
flames. As Bhe rushed In terror from
the Are a sister tore the infant from tho
arms of the shrieking girl and saved
the Infant from the death which Its
child nurse could not escape. Fannie
Belle, who was only 14 years old, died
at Grady hospital at midnight, clasp
ing her mother’s hand and whispering:
“Pray for me, mother.”
Fannie Belle Lee was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Lee. On Monday
afternoon she was holding In her arms
the slx-months-old Infant of her sister,
Mrs. J. H. Spivey, who lives In her
mother's home.
Ada Lee, her slxteen-year-old sla
ter, was in an adjoining room. Sud
denly she heard a scream of pain and
terror and started toward her sister.
As she did so Fannie Belle dashed out
of the room, her dress In flames, and
holding the baby tightly clasped to her
breast. In her delirium of fright she
held the Infant so closely that It was
with difficulty that the sister was able
to rescue the child, whose little gar
ments were being already touched by
the flames. Fannlo Belle, her hold re
leased from the child, tore on through
the doorway, her burning dress fanned
by the draft.
The mother of the suffering girl was
drawn to the scene nnd was severely
burned on tho hand in trying to extin
guish the flames. , A stranger who was
passing the home heard the screams
and rushed to the house. He was also
painfully burned on the hand.
The panic-stricken girl paid no at
tention to the pleadings of her mother
and rushed madly out Into the yard,
every movement, adding to the flames,
which might have been smothered eas
ily with a rug or blanket had the girl
retained her presence of mind. It was
several minutes before she was caught
and the flames smothered. By. this
time the clothing had been burned
away and the girl—hardly more than n
child, was so badly burned that her
death was certain.
The child was hurriedly taken to the
Grady hospital In an ambulance, where
everything possible was done for her
by the hospital physicians, but without
avail. 1 After subsequent hours of
agony, death relieved the sufferings of
tho little girl at midnight. She passed
away as the grlef-strlcken mother, who
had been tenderly watching and com
forting her, sat beside the cot.
The funeral services will take place
at the residence, 26 Jones street, at i
o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The
body will be laid to rest In Hollywood
cemetery.

MUNICIPAL GAS PLANT
WOULD PAY FOR SELF
AT END OF TEN YEARS
Could Then Sell Gas
at 70 Cents Per
Thousand.
Gas at 70 cents a thousand feet!
Or to be exact, at $.695 a thousand
feet.
That Is the cost of supplying gas at
the burner to Atlanta people, according
to the report on a municipal gas plant,
completed Tuesday by the Hall-Illges
Company, experts engaged by the com
mittee on municipal ownership.
Atlanta pays today $1 per thousand
cubic feet for her gas. It is reasonable
to suppose that it costs the gas com
pany no more to make gas than It
would cost a municipal plant. Who gets
the difference?
The report shows that the total cost
of a plant would be $1,518,000. The to.
tal operating expenses would be $318,.
267. The Income Prom sale of gas and
by-products—contemplating the sale of
gas at $1 a thousand feet—would be
$526,600. The net return, after Includ
ing Interest at 4 per cent, would be
$145,013 a year. The return on the In
vestment would be 9.3 per cent—cal
culating on a basis of dollar gas. It
can be seen that such a plant could,
according to experts, furnish gas at a
greatly reduced figure and still pay all
operating expenses and Interest.
A Complete Report.
The report of the engineers on the
gas plant, while not as lengthy and
exhaustive as that on the electric light
plant Is full and complete enough to
give a clear Idea of the actual condl-
‘Tu shown that If the city erected
Its own gas plant It could, by selling
gas at the present rate for about ten
yean, earn enough to pay for It, and
could, after that sell It for 70 cents
without loss to herself, and with a 30
per cent saving for the people.
Following Is tho full report on the
engineers on the feasibility of the city
operating her own gas plant:

FIGHT ON FADES
-GIVEN LATER DATE
The hearing before the Georgia rail
road commission for a reduction In
passenger rates In the state went over
on Tuesday afternoon until April 23.
In the preliminary skirmishing In the
senate chamber Tuesday morning, be
ginning at 10 o'clock and ending at
12:30, both sides were guarded in their
efforts to keep from the enemy the line
of defenso or offense.
One division of ths hearing will take
place April 17—the Seaboard and the
Macon, Dublin and Savannah Insisting
on that date, as both lines have freight
rate hearings then.
When the meeting was called to or
der by Chairman Hill, Hon. Hooper
Alexander appeared as counsel for the
petitioners, the Farmers' Union. He
announced that Judge J. K. Hines, who
had been employed In that capacity,
was compelled to be out of the city,
and that at the last hour he had been
employed.
The senate chamber was filled with
railroad officials, railroad attorneys and
Interested parties. President C. S. Bar
rett, of tbe Farmers’ Union, was pres
ent. Mr. Alexander read the petition
and staked briefly but cletfHy reasons
for asking the reduction In, passenger
rates.
After Mr. Alexander had made his
second statement, the commission an
nouncod that it no one else had any
thing to say the hearing would go over
to April 17. There was considerable
sparring fix to the date, but the general
hearing was fixed for April 23.
MANY REPORTED HURT
IN B, & 0, ACCIDENT
Zanesville, Ohio, April 2.—A Balti
more and'Ohio passenger train. No. 7,
westbound, from Washington to Chica
go: Is reported off the track at Dillon
Falls, five miles west. Several persons
*•— reported butt.
Two Important and far-reaching
changes In the fire nnd police depart
ments will shortly be considered by
council.
One will be the establishment of
pension fund for the benefit of those
who have grown old In the service of
either department, and for the widows
and orphans of those dying in the serv
Ice.
The other will be a' resolution asking
the legislature to amend the civil serv
ice act, under which the police force
goes Tuesday night, so that an age
limit may be established. A similar
Change will be made effective in the
fire department.
Mayor Joyner favors both propoal
tlons, and It will be at his Instance and
recommendation that the two matters
will be considered.
It, is planned to have the funds now
In the treasury of the Firemen’s Be
nevolent Association and the funds In
the Policemen’s Benevolent Assocla
tlon treasury thrown Into a common
fund. This will, make a total of about
316,000.
City to Swell Fund.
To this will be added each year
per cent of tho salaries of each mem
her of the Are nnd police departments,
all rewards earned by the members of
the police department and all donations
for good work made to the Are laddies.
The city will make an annual con
tribution to this fund of $10,000. The
whole will be placed In the hands of i
commission, to be composed of the of
fleers of the flro and police departments,
a committee of city officials and prom
Inent merchants and bankers.
With this arrangement there can be
retired ten or twelve men each year
from each department, these men to
receive half pay. When a man reaches
the age limit he Is retired and receives
the benefit of this pension fund, the
provision being that he has been a cer,
tain number of years In the service.
Mayor to Push It.
"You can quote me,” said Mayor
Joyner Tuesday morning, "as being
heart anil soul In favor of this ar
rangement, nnd I shall probably take
some steps to have It put Into effect
soon.
"When a man has served 20 or 2S
years continuously In the service of the
city In either the Are or police depart
ment, he Is entitled to the benefit of a
pension fund, and I would rather see
the gray-hnlred veterans on n fund
than patrolling beats and working out
at other places.
"I think any fair-minded person will
agree with me that an age limit should
be established. A man over 35, or 40
years at the most, should not bo taken
on the department. When a man has
been taken In and ho realises that If
he serves continuously, tor a certain
number of years he and his family will
be provided for In his old days, there
are a lots of little things he would not
do and a lots of chances he would not
take to lose hls Job that might be taken
under present conditions.
FELL TO FREEZING!
Though the mercury fell to 32 de
grees—the freezing i point—on Monday
night, It Is the opinion of Director Mar.
bury, of the weather bureau and others
well Informed about such matters, that
thero will be smull resultant damage
to fruit or vegetation.
Fortunately, a good stiff wind pre
vailed all of Monday night, and pre
vented frost formation. A few people
reported traces of frost In protected
spots, but it was of such a slight char
acter that no serious harm was done.
It may be expected that some early
garden stuff and other kinds of vegeta
tlon will be nipped a bit, but peachei
and other fruits have not been harmei
appreciably.
The temperature rose etealty Tuos
day, nnd Tuesday night will not he
nearly so cool as Monday. Forecast: /
"Fair and warmer Tuesday night and

New York, April 3.—E. H. Harrlman
today authorized the publication of the
following letter, which he wrote to
Sidney Webster, millionaire and famous
expert on Internal laws, who resides at
246 East Seventeenth street, this city:
"Dear Sir—I had printed copies of
the testimony sent you In hopes that
you would, after reading them, give me
some idea ol where I stand, for I con
fess that I feel somewhat at sea In the
whole Insurance matter. The trouble
originated in my allowing myself to be
drawn Into other people’s affairs, and
partly from a desire to help them, at
their request. I seemed to be like the
fellow who got In between the man and
hls wife In their quarrel.
Invited By Roosevelt.
“As to my political Instincts, ti
which you refer In your letter of De
ceinber 13. I am quite sure I have none
and my being made at all prominent In
the political situation Is entirely due to
President Roosevelt and because of my
taking an active part In the autumn
of 1904 at hls urgent request and hls
taking advantage of conditions then
created to further hls own Interests.
If It had been a premeditated plot It
could not have been better started nr
carried out.
’About a week before the election In
the autumn of 1904, when It looked cer
tain that the state ticket would go
Democratic * and was doubtful as to
Roosevelt himself, he, the president,
sent me a request to go to Washington
to confer upon the political conditions
In New York state. I complied, and ho
told me he understood the campaign
could not bo successfully carried on
r lthout sufficient money, and asked If
would help them In raising the nec
essary funds, as the national commit
tee under control of Chairman Cortel-
you had utterly failed of obtaining
them and there was a large amount due
from them to the New York state com
mittee.
■ Should Drop Depew.
I explained to him that I understood
the difficulty here was mainly caused
by the up-state leaders being unwilling
to Support Depew for re-election as
United States senator; that If ho. De
pew, could bo taken care of In some
other wny, I thought matters could be
adjusted nnd the different contending
elements In the party brought Into close
alliance again. We talked over what
could be dono for Depow, and, finally,
ho agreed that If found necessary lie
would appoint him as ambassador to
Paris. ,
With full belief that he, tho presi
dent, would keep ’ this agreement. I
came back to New York, sent for
Treasurer Bliss, who told mo that
was their last hope and thnt they hail
exhausted every other resource. In
hls presence I called up nn Intimate
friend of Senator Depow, told him that
It was quite necessary In order to car
ry New York state that $200,000 should
be raised at once, nnil If he would help,
I would subscribe $60,000. After a few
words over the telephone, the gentle
man said he would let me know, which
he did probably In three or four hours,
with the result that tho whole amount,
Including my subscription, had been
raised.
Won Msny Votes.
’This amount enabled tho New York
ztato committee to roll up a difference
of 100,000 votes In the general result.
8omo tlmo In December, 1904, on
my way from Virginia to New York, I
stopped and had a short talk with the
president. He then told me that ho dtij
not think it necessary to appoint Do-
pew as ambassador to Paris, as agreed
In fact, but favored him for the sen
ate.
••After that I used what Influence I
could to have Depew returned to the
senate, os I considered this hod been
an Implied obligation, which should be
lived up to.
•This is tho way I was brought to the
surface In the political matters, as I
hod never before taken any active part
and only had done what I could os any
private cltiien might; so, you see, I
was brought forward by Roosevelt In
an attempt to help him at hls request.
Yours sincerely, .
”JE. H. HARRIMAN."
ROOSEVELT GIVES LIE
TO HARRIMAN LETTER
Washington. April 2.—President Roosevelt this afternoon
gave the lie to the assertion made in nn alleged Harrimnn-Web-
ster letter by making public copies of letters which tho president
wrote to Congressman Sherman, of New York, last October. In
one the president said:
“I understood you to say that lie (Harrinmn) alleged that
I had made this promise (referring to Depew ns French ambassa
dor), at the time when he had come to see me in Washington
when ‘l requested him to raise $250,000 for the Republican
presidential campaign.’ Any such statement is a deliberate nnd
wilful untruth. By right it should be characterized by even a
shorter and more ugly word. I never requested Hnrrimnn to raise
a dollar for the presidential campaign in 1904.”
/ WANT TO BE RAILROAD
ADVISOR TO ROOSEVELT
New York, April 2.—E. H. Harrlman,
In fils recent utterances, has .mani
fested a Changed attitude toward the
public. He has expressed a desire,
ever since the Interstate commerce
hearing, to take it Into hls confidence,
and has submitted to Interviews cheer
fully and given hls views at length
and without reserve. On hls recent
trip to Washington he suggested In an
Interview that It would be well If he
were appointed railroad adviser to the
president.
"You advise the president to appoint
me hls special adviser in railroad mat
ters and I will sit up night and (lav
with him and tell him what to do.” lie
said. "I will not desert hint for a min
ute. I am W'ltilng to drop all other
matters and attend to this. You can
assure the president In tho capacity of
hls railroad adviser I would tell him
honestly what I honestly think he ought
to go."
