The Senate.
The Senate took up the bill making
10 years' separation and no U-je
cause for divoree it having passed
second reading. Buxton's Brnndrnent
that the bill shall apply only to exist
ing cases was read. Mclvean ask'd
Buxton if he would vote for tbf bill
if the amendment wa adopted. Bux
ton replied he would not. I licks de
clared he hoped the amendment wotdd
be voted down; that there were ieo
ple in this county and almost every
other county in the State who were
laboring under tb repeal of the sta
tutes two years ago.
Mitchell spoke against the bill and
quoted extract from the proceedings
of the National Divorce Congress. He
declared the bill would lower the
sanctity of the marriage relation. He
was a-rnember of the last legislature
when tbe State clamored and the
churches demanded all the divorce
laws enacted f-ince 1SS3. He declar
ed he believed there were mercenary
motives behind the bill. The South
ern people are the hope of the land
and in the interest of good morals
and society in North Carolina and
the country he hoped the Senate
would defeat the bill. Buxton ex
plained that if the bill should become
a law his amendment would make it
as little damaging as possible by lim
iting cases, and this would apply to
very few. He opposed abandonment
for any length of time as a cause for
divorce. Buxton's amendment was
lost by a vote of 26 to 17, and the
bill passed third reading 2.J to 21.

INSANITY THE PLEA
Trial of Harry K. Thaw is Now
Weil Begun
THE CASE FOR THE STATE GIVEN
The Thaw Case Fully Before th !
Court Plea of Insanity the Prtn- j
dpal Defense.
New " Yurk, Spec ial. The Stafe
laid its case against Harry K. Thaw
a plain unemotioul htory of tbe
shooting on the Madison Square Gar
den rof, leaving the malice and tbe
motive to be inferred from the act
and the defense replied with a plea of
hereditary insanity. It was asserted
that Thaw, in slaying Stanford "White
believed he was acting as an agent of
Providence, that real or fancied
wrongs committed against him by the
architect and former friend of his
wife had boiled and bubbled in his
brain until at last there came the
explosive impulse to kill. When the
deed was done, Thaw made, no move
to escape its consequences, but hold
ing the fatal revolver aloft, he stood
mutely proclaiming to the world:
"The deed is done; it was right; it
was not wrong.',
Thus Thaw's counsel outlined his
case to the jury, after the prosecu
tion had occupied less than two hours
of the morning sitting of the court
in relating through eye-witnesses the
narrative of the tragedy. When the
defense had interposed its plea and
outlined its case, an adjournment
was taken.
Will Hear Story of Insanity.
''You will hear the story of this
man's insanit-." Attorney John B.
Gleason, for the defense, promised
the jury, "from his mother, from his
wife, from relatives and from his
physicians. You will judge him; 4y
his acts, by the heredity a mistress
wrhich entered into his madness, and
when you come to judge him you will
say to yourself that his act may have
been one of insanity, but it was not
one of crime."
That Thaw's wife was to be one of
his most importaut witnesses has
long been known; that .his mother,
Mrs. William Than-, of Pittsburg, was
to take the stand only became known
positively when the court enforced
the rule excluding from the court
room all witnesses save experts.
Thaw's mother, at the command, left
the room after a moment's hesitation.
She seemed unwilling to be parted
from her son in the hour of his need.
His wife, too, reluctantly left the
room, bestowing a last radiant smile
of courage and hope upon her prisoner-husband.
May MacKenzie was
the third of the women, who have
been daily included in the Thaw par
ty, to leave the court room. Thaw
seemed dejected. Many times last
week during the dull days of jury
selection be turned to his wife- for
comfort and found her ever ready
with a quick responsive smile. Now
that the serious work of the trial 1

New Orleans, Special. As a result

New Orleans, Special. The river

he said, "the charge that 1 nuke i

treaty has been practically came!
into effect without consulting the

Mr. Rayner turned his attention to
the judiciary, announcing his belief
that this branch of the iovc rmnent
ought to be entirely free from execu
tive interference. "It is therefore
w' judgment," he added, "that the

Intrtsion" Upon the States.
Mr. Rayner then pronounced his
disapproval of the President for H
"intrusion" upon the State, taking
for example tbe note of the I -'resident
to Governor Guild, of Massa
chusetts, in which the course cf the
Governor was commended in refusing
to interfere in the carrying oat of
the death sentence against Charles I
Tucker. "I never knew a communi
cation of this sort to be stnt by a
President to ihe Governor of a State
since the foundation of the republic,"
said Mr. Rayner, "and I deftly ic
gret and deplore the occurrence."
Inland Waterway Bill.
Senator Simmons he introduced n
bill apropriating $704,000 for con
necting the-Albemarle, Pamlico and
other sounds and rivers with Beau

In Honor of Gorman.
Tbe business of the House was
laid aside at 2 o'clock by previous
arrangement, in order that the mem
bers might pay fitted tribute to the
memory of the late Senator from
Mary land, Arthur Pue Gorman. Rej
resentstive Talbot, of Maryland, was
the first speaker and he was follow

Mr. Talbot to preside over tbe
House and, taking a place near his old
seat on the Republican side, toHl in
simple phrases of his long associa
tion with the dead Senator. Tbe
tribute of the Speaker to Mr. Gor- to Congress another message eontain

unusually large number of Repres
