New York, March 6.—Harry K.
Thaw’s latest attempt to secure free-

criminally insane failed today.
The Thaw family refused to allow

scandal of charges that Thaw at-
tempted to bribe attendants.
Officials of the asylum are to

Dr. Doyen, the famous French sur-

the mixture will cure ninety-nine dis-
eases from consumption to a cold in

liquid consists of a substance in col-
loidal solution, which has a stimulat-
ing effect on the white blood cor-
puscles whose duty it is to repulse in-

New York, March 6.—The nerves

was made to the court of criminal

that the evidence did not justify
this charge.
The court further held that the
State courts have jurisdiction over
the Texas National Guard and that
when in time of peace a crime is
committed by a soldier the offense
comes under the jurisdiction of the
State courts. An effort will be
made at once to have Governor Col-
quitt pardon Manley.
This action of the court, it is
claimed, will be largely instrumental
in the depreciation of the National 1
Guard because of the lack of protec-
tion offered to soldiers in the dis-
charge of their duty. Adjutant Gen-
eral Hutchings had nothing to say
on the matter today. Governor Col-
quitt states that no official action '
toward the pardon of Manley has
been made.

General Huerta of Mexico and
Attorney General Looney of Texas
appear to have timed their differ-
ent strckes of State policy by the
same clock. Almost at the exact
hour when Huerta was stripping
the presidential purpie from Madero
and tying it on himself, Mr. Loon-
ey was signing a general order to
separate the Texas social, literary
and scientific clubs from their crea-
ture comforts and the joy of nurs-
ing the ivories.
It would, perhaps, merely be a
guess to say in which capital, Mexi-
co City or Austin town, the great-
er commotion and astonishment pre-
vailed, when the news spread in
one that liquid refreshments were
liable to leak out of all the club res-
ervoirs and the billiard cues to fall
from the racks in deserted halls.

Washington, March 6.—
Mayor General Wood for the
present will remain chief of
staff of the United States
army. Through an order is-
sued today by President Wil-
son this fact was made known.
General Wood was appointed
by President Taft to serve
four years, and he has one
year and five months yet of
his term to serve under the
Taft appointment, and it is
believed that he will be allow-
ed to fill the complete term.

Robert T. Small, superintendent of
the Southern division of the Asso-
ciated Press, with headquarters in
Atlanta and C. J. King, traffic
chief for the same division, left
Houston Wednesday morning, going
to Galveston via Texas City. The
two officials of the Associated Press
were escorted to Texas City in an
automobile by G. J. Palmer and Har-
ry T. Warner of the Houston Post.
At Texas City the party was en-
tertained by H. B. Moore general
manager of the Texas City Company^
Harvey Thomas and L. C. Talmage,
who showed the visitors not only
the splendid terminals that Texas
City boasts, but also the encamp-
ment of United States troops now
mobolizing there under the command
of Major General William H. Carter,
United States army.
Mr. Small expressed considerable
interest in the terminals of the Tex-
as City Company, which are admitted
to be modern to the last word in
so far as labor saving dock, machin-
ery, wharf and warehouse construc-
tion is concerned. Several steamers
were in port Wednesday discharging
and receiving cargoes. Apart from
inspecting some of the modern con-
crete warehouses, the party was es-
corted to the top of the mammoth
grain elevator, where a superb view
was had of Texas City, the surround-
ing country and Galveston bay.
Leaving the terminals the party
visited the encampment of United
States troops, ordered to mobilize
at Texas City in view of the disturb-
ances that recently reached a cli-
max in Mexico. The encampment is
a veritable “tented city,” compris-
ing as it does a full army division,
which even includes the largest mo-
bilization of army aeroplanes ever
brought together in the United
States army. There are eight aero-
planes and one hydroplane in the

Austin, Tex., March 6.—The court
of criminal appeals affirmed the
case of J. D. Manley, Ellis county,
charged and convicted of murder in
the second degree and sentenced to
4 0 years in the penitentiary. The
case has been one of Statewide in-
terest owing to the circumstances
that led up to the commiting of the
murder.
Manley was a sergeant in company
E, Third infantry, Dallas National
Guard, and had been placed on
guard at a prominent street cross-
ing in that city upon the occasion of
the visit of President Taft. The
streets had been roped off and ef-
forts were made to keep the crowds
back of a certain restricted area.

Washington, March 6.—President
Wilson started on his second day at'
the White House with a rush. The
most important action was calling
a cabinet meeting today. This will
be the first official session of the
cabinet, as the new members had
not been sworn in when they met
yesterday.
Wilson was in his office at 9 o’-
clock, but Secretary Joseph Tumulty
preceded him by one hour, arriving
ahead of the doorkeeper and clerks.
He was working with Wilson’s mail
when the president arrived. Old
timers around t 8 White House say
they can not recall any secretary
being on his job at 8 o’clock in the
morning.
Wilson had an appointment today
with Senators Fletcher and Bryan
of Florida, and ex-Senator Gardner
- of Maine, who was a cabinet possi-
bility, and it is understood will be
appointed to some important post.
Wilson’s first formal meeting with
the representatives of foreign coun-
tries is scheduled for this afternoon,
when he will receive the Japanese
ambassador in the blue room of the
White House. Immediately after-
ward the president has engagements
which will keep him busy shaking
hands in the east room most of the
afternoon. He is to receive Senator
Sheppard and party from Texas,
who want to invite the president to
attend a carnival in South Texas.
