Thaw was today adjudged a lunatic by

New York on requisition to stand trial
on charges of assaulting a Kansas City
high school boy. Thaw will be kept in
St. Mary's hospital here pending his

The court's action was based on the
report presented today by a lunacy
commission which yesterday took the
testimony of Thaw and his mother.
James Gay Gordon, counsel for Mrs.
Thaw, on whose behalf the lunacy
proceedings were begun, made this
st atement:
"The inquisition which met yester
day and heard the case of Harry K.
Thaw, adjudged him to be a lunatic
ind the finding was5 today filed in the
TT&urt of Common Pleas.
"Judge Martin made Che usual ap

of Pennsylvania, represented by its
Court of Chancery and under the con
trol and protection of tne " court and
laws of the commonwealth. This
necessarily settled the question of his
extradition and rings dowaJthe cur-

and the court will hold control and

hereafter can only be done with the 1
sanction of the court."

rests have been made, according to
advices from Blacksburg, and no defi
nite statement as to circumstances of
the affair are obtainable as yet.
Speculation as to who had shot Heth
apparently was answered about noon
when it was learned that Prof. Vaw

seat near Blacksburg, for the purpose,
it was stated, of surrendering himself
to the authorities. No statement as
to what led to the trouble is yet avail

KEPT WIRELESS AT

German Officer Aboard In

Sent Messages to Sea-
Probably Familiar With Thq
English Code.
(By Associated Press.)
Norfolk, Va March 13. Evidence
that Captain Hans Berg, German com
mander of the prize ship Appam, vio
lated the neutrality of the United
States constantly while the ship was
at Newport News, has been placed in
the hands of Department of Justice
agents, according to information from
a source generally authentic.
When the Appam' was awarded to
her English owners by the United
States Supreme Court recently Berg
and his German crew were sent to
Philadelphia. It was then found that
they rehabilitated the wireless outfit,
which was put out of commission by
the United States government and ,
were using It to send and receive mes
sages. A private wire had been run
to Berg's stateroom, where he read
the happenings of the world by flash;
lights.
An investigation has been in prog
ress on the Appam for several days
and it has been positively established,
that as late as December 8th 1st Cap-
) ta n, Berg sent a wireless message to a
German ship. It is believed that Berg
was in constant touch with his own
government and furnished it informa
tion of value. There is evidence that
he was familiar with the English code.
The messages sent by Berg Decem
ber 8th gave details of affairs affect

HOW TO AG f
Government Sends Instruc

Be On Duty.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, March 13. Complete t
and definite instructions to the "arm
ed guards" to be placed aboard Amer
ican merchant craft bound through tho
German submarine zones have been
'completed by the Navy Department
and approved by Secretary Lansing.
They will be forwarded to the Navy
personnel aboard the merchant craft
whenever the ships are ready to sail.
The nature of the instructions will
not be made public. They were care
fully prepared by Navy officials and
then submitted to Secretary Lansing,
at whose suggestion some amend
ment was made.
It is planned not to broadcast tho
orders generally through the naval
service but to furnish the officer in
command of the armed guard on each
ship with a copy when his vessel is
ready to sail. The Navy Department
is making every effort to suppress all
information regarding armed ships,
such as sailing dates, the equipment
put aboard by the Navy, the personnel
supplied to handle the guns or any
thing that might be of the slightest
value to an enemy. It was said offi
cially, however, that no conflict oC
jurisdiction between the shipmaster
and the gun crews would arise.
