JAPAN WINS POINT
Ban Antonio, Feb. 15.—The bull-
dozing methods of Colonel Glenn,
counsel for Major Penrose, in cross-
examining witnesses reached a dra-
matic climax this morning when he
was first called down by R. B. Creager,
the witness under examination, and
was then sharply reprimanded by the
court. The court instructed counsel
that no undignified remarks, reflections,
insinua-tions or innuendo must be used
in conducting the examination.
Mr. Creager is a lawyer of high
standing at Brownsville, and is the
United States commissioner at that
place. He is talk slender, smooth-
faced young man, whose cool gray eyes
look very straight from behind a pair
of eyeglasses.
The trouble reached a clima when
Colonel Glenn, after a long series of
badgering questions and remarks, sud-
denly jumped from the subject of the
Brownsville raid, and began to ques-
tion the witness as to his family af-
fairs. After asking if his father and
mother were alive, he asked if they had
ever lived apart.
Captain Hay, the judge advocate,
jumped to his feet with an objection.
Colonel .Glenn, addressing the court,
said he meant to make no insinuation
that there was anything wrong with
the witness’ record.
“I would not advise you to, said
Mr. Creager, very quietly,1 looking the
officer in the eye.
Mr. Creager maintained himself ad-
mirably throughout the morning, al-
though he was repeatedly goaded by
Colonel Glenn's manner and questions
to a point where most men would have
lost their tempers. He was dignified,
cool and self-possessed throughout.
It was evident from the court’s in-
structions and Colonel Crane’s ob-
jection to the answering of the qeus-
tion, that it was determined to put a
stop to the 111 treatment of witnesses.
Colonel Glenn started his browbeat-
ing methods with the witness at the
outset, and continued them until the
court stopped him.
* When court convened R. B. Creager
resumed the stand. He was asked why
he was certain he had advised Major
Penrose to keep his men out of
Brownsville the morning of August 18.
"Because the assault on Mrs. Evans
occurred the .evening of the 12th and I
am morally certain that I went to see
Major Penrose next morning about it
and told him it would be better to keep
the men out of the town at night. It
would have been absurd to have given
him this advice on the 14th or there-
after.”
t Colonel Glenn then began the cross-
examination and took up the matter of
the exclusion of soldiers from an en-
• tertanment given to the press associa-
tion. A tilt was precipitated almost

Coat Lands Bill.
Washington, Feb. 15.--A hill con-
forming in ft measure to President
Roosevelt’s recommendation for the
leasing of coal lands by the govern-
ment, rather than their sale, was de-
elded upon today by the house com-
mine© on pubHe lands. The commit-
tee considered its fiction of last
% l at once when the witness said the coin- '
- ’mittee in charge was composed of five '
' or seven men. Colonel Glenn recalleq ’
that, witness had said yesterday that*
the committee was composed of five 1
members. He seized upon this as evi-
l dence of. the inaccuracy of the witness ’
and rang the changes on it. Mr.
Creager was fully equal to him in the .
! contest and gave him as good as he
\ received. Finally Mr. Creager made
■ a full statement relative to the enter- j
tainment. As to the placard: "No ,
dogs or soldiers allowed,” Mr. Creager
me. The plan was to catch a lot of
you fellows in Allson’s saloon and
massacre you.”
Mapp said the remark was not ad-
dressed to him find that ho did not
question Voschelle,
Voschelle has been subpoened as a
witness.
Before Riving this testmony Mapp
said that on the night of the shooting
he had been awakened by the firing
and had gone to the window of his
quarters and from there he saw several
gun flashes and the shots seemed to be
directed over the barracks. A man
with a deep voice, he said, shoutes:
"Come out, you black using
an opprobrious epithet, and Mapp said
the challenge was repeated several
times. But the call to arms Was then
sounded and he hurried to get dressed
and fall in. He said the shooting and
the shouting was outelde the wall at
the end of company B barracks. Mapp
told of the confusion in quarters and
said that he got his gun from the rack
that was broken open and was one of
fife first to fall in.
Thomas Jefferson, who was the room
orderly in company C barracks, said
that lie heard the shooting and thought
there were ten or twelve men firing.
The shots, he sald. came from the rear
and near the end of; this barracks. He
paid he saw the ashes from guns and
thought the garrison was under at-
tack. He said that, he had made a
statement at the war department be-
fore Judge Advocate General Davis for
the purpose of clearing his name of
suspicion, because of- a statement in
said: ,
"I heard that two soldiers of the
Twenty-sixth Infantry had posted it.
An officer now at Fort Ram Houston
knows more about it than I do.”
"Who is he?”
"Lieutenant Walt Johnson. He told
me that he overheard a conversation
in which two soldiers said they had
posted the placard as a joke."
"When did he tell you this?”
"Yesterday.”
Mr. Creager made an extended state-
ment relative to the entertainment,
saying that only those invited were
supposed to be present.
“As a member of that committee,
tell me, yes or no, whether the police-
man at the gate had instructions from
the committee to exclude soldiers and
Mexicans from that entertainment?"
asked Colonel Glenn.
"No.”
"Did you have information that sol-
diers were excluded?”
•’Yes.”
"Did you have information that Mex-
icans were freely admitted?”
"No."
What was the sentiment in Browns-
ville about the coming of the negro
soldiers ?”
"The sentiment was mixed.”
"Did you hear any’ talk that they’
would be run out of town?”
"No.”
Witness said some of the saloons
arranged separate bars for negro sol-
dires. After he had made a statement
about thia. Colonel Glenn sarcastically
it was decided by the committee to-
day to adopt a leasing plan to the bill,
but no authority could be reported on
such a general leasing plan as the
president desires. The bill as amended
authorises the president to lease any
coal lands with a royalty of not more
than 2 cents a ton, and provides that
the lands may be withdrawn from en4
try after they are leased, but not be-
fora. The amount to be leased to any
duty on the Rio Grande border. Col-
onel Dowa now has sixteen men en-
gaged in watching the border. )

his questions to me.” ,
"I have not< intended to 1)6 s0.
"Then your intentions and your
actions have been very far apart,” said
Mr. Creager.
Captain Murphy objected to the wit-
ness addressing counsel except in an-
swer to questions.
Colonel Maus here moved that the
court be cleared. After the executive
session Colonel Brown read the fol-
lowing ruling:
"The court instructs counsel that in
the examination of witnesses they will
refrain from any undignified remarks
or reflections on the manner or method
of the witnesses in giving their testi-
mony. The .court has already on sev-
eral occasions stated that the widest
latitude will be allowed in cross-
examination. but this does not author-
ize any undignified remarks by coun-
sel reflecting on the manner or expres-
sion of the witness. If counsel believe
a witness is hbstile he can show it in
a becoming manner without insinua-
tion or innuendo.”
Addressing the court. Colonel Glenn
said: .
"Counsel will comply with the in-
structions of the court.
"Counsel desires to say that no In-
nuendo was intended by the question.
I met this witness for the first time
yesterday and knew nothing about him.
Pursuing what I considered my duty to
my client I made inquiries and was in-
formed that his mother was a widow.
I was only trying to find out what his
exact situation is, and as the witness
himself opened up the subject by testi-
fying as to his college career yester-
day, I believe under these circum-
stances that I have a right to show how
he went through college. I think I

New York, Feb. 15.—The following
statement as to District Attorney
Jerome’s posKton with regard to the
sanity or insanity of Harry Thaw was
made today:
"Mr. Jerome does not know whether
or not Thaw is insane. None of his
asslstants know. None of the exnerts
retained for the prosecution know.
I hes© experts have not had an oppor-
tunity to examine Thaw either as to
his physical condition or his mental
caliber. They are present in court at
the trial with an open mind. They
would like to know. If anv experts
retained for the defense, some of
whom have already testified, will say
authoritatively' that in their opinion
Thaw is now insane the district attor-
ney will join with them in the requept
to the court for'the appointment of a
commission on lunacy to decide on the
question of the defendant’s sanitv."
Death has again Invaded Harrv K.
Thaw’s environment. Close on the
passing of the wife of Joseph B. Bol-
ton. one of the jurors, came the an-
nouncement of the death last night In
a hospital of Michael D. Downey, who
for months had been Thaw's night
keeper on the second tier, of colls in
the Tombs, which is known as "mur«
derers’ row." Downey had been a
keeper in the Tombs for more than
twenty-eight years. When Thaw first
came to the Tombs Downev did not
look with favor on’the new prisoner.
But during the long watches of the
night when Thaw paced up and down
the narrow confines of hi cell, a warm
friendship sprang up between the
keeper and .the prisoner. When Downev
la buried tomorrow a wreath bearing
Thaw’s card will rest on the casket.
Harry C. MePiko, of counsel tc>r
Thaw, said today:
"When the trial is resumed next week
Dr. Evans will conclude his testimony
and Dr,Wagnerwill be recalled to tell
of hU conversation with Thaw—con-
versatons whkh were ruled out last
week. Then /Mr. Thaw’s wife will
finish her story and his mother will bo
called as a witness for the first time.
Finally, after Mr. Thaw's will has
been introduced as evidence. It is prob-
able that the famly physiclana of the
