Homer J. Drown, who was formerly engineer at the Richmond Municipal Light and Power Hart. b".t who now resides near Galena, Kan., writes to the Palladium as follows: Galena, Kan, July 6, 196. Editor Palladium: I am away out here In Kansas somewhere, I don't know exactly where yet. I am working for the Spring River Power Company. They have two big plants here. One water plant and the other a steam plant. I work in both places. They furnish power for the lead and zinc mines around Joplin, Mo., and Galena, Kan. Galena is a mining town for sure. There is no farm lane near Galena, nothing but mines. I tell you it is a sight. The picture I sent you shows the dam and power house of the water plant. The power house is on the dam right in the middle of the river, and the machinery is down about 2S feet below the level of the water. The power house 1 Walls are of solid concrete 12-fecij thick. The engines in the steam plant are immense affairs, 3000 M. P. each. I have a fine job and I like it very much. S. E. Gard, former Superintendent of the Richmond Municipal Licht and Power Plant has charge of both plants. We are located about four milos in the country and I tell you it is pretty lonesome. I wish you would have the Daily Palladium sent to me. I am anxious for the news from Richmond.

THAWS DEFEHSE HOT DECIDED His Many Attorneys Are Still Considering the Situation. IN A PECULIARPOSITLON MUST ADMIT COMMISSION OF CRIME AND MUST SHOW LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CLIENT. Publishers' Press New York, July 7. While many rumors are afloat as to the nature of the defense the attorneys for Harry Kendall Thaw, the millionaire Pittsburg resident who Is In the local prison awaiting trial on a charge of murder in the first degree for the cold blooded shooting of Stanford White, the, architect, will interpose when he faces the trial jury, it can be stated upon the best of authority that his lawyers have not so far arrived at any positive decision. They are carefully considering the entire situation, but will keep thier plans well guarded for a time at least, and therefore, all statements as to what it is inteded to do must continue entirely a matter of conjecture. In Peculiar Condition. The defense is, of course, placed in a peculiar position in that it is compelled to admit the commission of a crime, and, if justification cannot be proven .and at present it begins to look more and more, as though it could not, it will be compelled to show a lack of responsibility in Thaw's case. While the Thaw lawyers are adopting a plan of secrecy the attaches of the district attorney's office are open in asserting that they expect to have to combat an insanity defense. They base this assertion on the minute examination that Dr. Allen McLane Hamilton has been making on Thaw for some days. Thaw's open assertions that he is perfectly sane can easily be used by the defense to prove that he is not and so they will have their own experts watch every aspect of tho case. Thaw's Wife Calls. Dr. Hamilton, accompanied by Terence McManus, one of Thaws counsel, was with the murderer in his cell for some time today, but what conclusion was arrived at is. of course, a professional secret. Mr. McManus stated that so far as he was concerned, he "was perfectly satisfied" with the result of the examination. It is rumored that the defense will soon ask for the appointment of a commission, to be named by a justice of the s..)rte court, to examine Thaw, and if their report is that he is not sane they they will ask for his commitment to the State Asylum for the Criminal Insane at Matteawan. X. Y., for "treatment." Former Judge Olcott, chief counsel for Thaw, Is now In Philadelphia in connection with the case, but the object of his visit to that city is closely guarded. The fact that Mrs. Thaw arrived at the prison at the time the examination of Thaw by Dr. Hamilton was in progress was responsible for an incident that wore upon her nerves and caused a rather painful scene. A missionary." who is permitted because of her position, free access to every portion of the prison, made an attempt to talk on religious matters to the wife of Thaw and was repulsed. Mrs. Thawwas compelled to wait some time before she could get into the prison proper to see her husband and the "missionary" continued to attempt to interest her in religious matters.

SHOULD THE v AUTOMATIC SWITCH BOARDS BE INSTALLED, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR THEIR SERVICES. Supplementary to the recent move of the Richmond Home Telephone Co., in regard to installing conduits for their wire service they are considering the advisability of installing the most modern apparatus known to the telephone world. It seems to be a question with the cominy whether to retain the present sysn of the central station with ope?'ator3 or to install the automatic service. The lat ter is the latest and most improved of telephone inventions. How System Operates. In case that such should be put into local use there will be no central station to call. On each box of the subscribers there will be a little dial with the numbers from 0 to 9 upon it. To call up any number all that is necessary is to turn the finger on the dial to the various numerals that compose the number of the telephone desired, press a button and thev are automatically connected with each other. In case that the party called up is busy there is a little "buzz" heard, which gives the patron the Information that he must wait. . One man is all that is necessary at the central station and his duties are to keep the switch boards in condition. Each telephone has one of these automatic switches. In case this scheme should be adopted by the Home company It will mean a sad farewell to the popular "Hello Girl" who at ths present time keeps "us" waiting and waiting for connections. To Inspect Other Plants. It is the purpose of the company to put in the very best that inventive minds can afford and in view of this there will be a committe formed, composed of subscribers and persons of all trades, and taken to some of th3 cities near here which have ' nystems of this sort in use. At the present time Sunt! Bailey is at work upon plans and specifications for the underground equipment. He has in his office a sample of the conduits which are to be hi.sl piled. They are of nines about two inches in diamettr arraigned, in regular order and packed in blocks of concrete.
