Doctors at Mattewan Won't Testify That He is Fit Per son to Be at Large JEROME WILL APPEAR New York District Attorney Has Habeas Corpus Writ (By Leased Wire to'The Times) New York, April 28, Harry K. Thaws fight to be liberated from the asylum for the criminal insane at Mattonwan 'promises to be a long and protracted one. It was learned today that the phy sicians at the institution who have had charge of the inmate will refuse to testify iu the habeas corpus pro ceedings at Poughkeepsie Monday that he has recovered his senses, and at the same time District Attorney Jerome will tight to continue his in carceration. A Russell Peabody, oM counsel for Thaw, paid a Secret', visit to Matteawnn to find out the feeling of the -physicians' there toward his client. Assistant Superintendent Tia ker and the other doctors at first re fused to express themselves, but at length declared they could not con scientiously take oath that Thaw was a fit person:' to' be at large. This in formation was conveyed in the most emphatic terms, and Mr. Peabody was as much as told that he could expect no-encouragement 'from any one connected with the asylum. : When Mr. Jerome learned Af Mr. Peabody's quest, he immediately con ferred wlta the district attorney of Duchess county, in which county the writ is lo be heard, and he granted permission for Mr. Jerome to appear and fight the case. In the event of his failure, Thaw will be compelled to undergo a series of examinations and then employ ex perts willing to go into court and tune oath that he has recovered his mental equilibrium. Titis, however, would cause the district attorney to light even harder, and it would be many months before Thaw could learn finally of his fate. Daniel O'Reilly said today that the annulment proceedings of Kvelyyn N'esbit Thaw against Harry Thaw would come up in the supreme court the latter part of next week.

BRIT HANGED Dispatches ALL THE 2XABKBT& PRICE 5 CENTS. "Class Consciousness" and Labor Organizations Two of Bis Principal Topics RICH NOT ALWAYS BAD And Unions Not Always Good, Either, According, to His Way of Thinking (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 28. Yesterday afternoon at 4:40, just as the senate and house were tired out and hungry for adjournment, the president sent to congress the message that had been confidently expected earlier in tlie day. Only a few sentences were iead before adjournment. Following is the text of the message: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives; In my message to congress March 25, 1 90S. 1 outlined certain meas ures which I believe the majority of our countrymen desire to have en acted int law at this time. These measures do not represent by any means all . that I would like ltd see done if 1 thought It possible, but they do represent, what I believe can now be done if an earnest effort to ward this order is made. Since 1 wrote this message an em ployers' liability law has been enact ed which, it is true, comes short of what ought to have been done, but which does represent a real advance. Apparently there Is good ground to hope that, there will be further legis lation providing for recompensing all employes who suffer injury while en gaged in the public service; that there will be a child labor law en acted for the District of Columbia; ( :iat the waterways commission will be continued with sufficient financial support to Increase the effectiveness of its preparatory work; that steps will be taken to provide for such in vestigation into tariff conditions, by the appropriate committee of the house and by great experts in the ex i i ui ire service, as will secure the full Uiformution necessary for immediato action In revising the tariff at the hands of the congress elected next i'li r and, finally, that financial legis lation will be enacted providing for temporary measures for meeting any t rouble that may arise In the next year of two, commission of experts .who shall thoroughly Investigate the w hole matter, both here and for great commercial countries abroad so as to be able lo recommend legislation which will put pur financial system up -an, efficient and permanent basis, j: is much to be wished that ono nature of the financial legislation of this 'session should be the establish ment of -postal saving banks. -Ampin appropriation should be made to en ; lih tlie interstate commerce coin-., mission io carry out the very im I'otiiint. feature of the Hepburn law, v. inch gives to the commission super vision nnd control over the account ing yems- of t he railways, : Failure to - parotide means which will -enable the commission to examine the books of the railroad? would amount to an ai.'ai k on the law at its most vital po'iit and would benefit, as nothing else .cou hi. . benelit, those rallwsvs whiili are corruptly or incompetently vaaiiagixi.
