New York. March 14. W. J. Bryan arrived in New York today. To interviewers he said: "I think that the railroad presidents overdid the mather when they attempted to terrorize the legislatures by proclaiming that the two cent rates would ruin the roads. The two cent rate in Ohio did not even reduce the passenger earnings, so great was the increased traffic, and the same result is likely to follo"w in other states." Bryan said the railway men them-

selves were to blame for the slump in has more than two or three on the values. He did not believe theretlist of eligibles, -a ranking high

rould be hard times.

Former Richmond Barber Badly Wanted by the Sheriff of Jay County.

STOLE DIAMOND RINGS RUMOR THAT HE ESCAPED FROM THE LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT IS WITHOUT SLIGHTEST FOUNDATION. Herman Sipe, an amafeur in the line of work pulled off by that class of crooks, known to the police in the big cities of the country as "moll buzzers." and who is very much wanted by the authorities of Portland. Ind., has an extensive acquaintence in Richmond, having been employed for several months in the barber shop of J. K. Ilealy on Main near Tenth street "Lifted" Two Diamond Rings. Several weeks ago Sipe made a trip over to Portland, and while there "lifted" two diamond rings from the chateline bag of Helen Boone, a wo man of ill repute. The woman did not miss the "sparks" until Sipe had returned to Richmond, and being certain that they were in his possession threatened , him with arrest if he did not return them. He agreed to make good, and a few days later handed her a couple of worthless imitations. She quickly discovered that she was up against a "con," and without saying anything to Sipe laid the facts before the grand jury. On the following Sunday he paid a visit to his parents at Portland, and the sheriff, learning of his presence in the town, placed him under arrest, while walking along the street with his father, Milton Sipe. The latter begged that his son be allowed to go home and eat dinner with his mother, saying that he would turn him over to the authorities that afternoon. The request was finally granted, and an hour later with the assistance of his father, young Sipe had shaken the dust of Jay county from his feet. The elder Sipe Is now in jail awaiting a hearing on a charge of aiding a felon to escape. Never Arrested Here.,

A story vas afloat last evening thhWn ),1th"t2t"of"'el)llay',

the fugitive came to Richmond on the following day, and was gathered in by the police but while undergoing an examination at headquarters made his escape. Rumor had it that this affair w-as suppressed by the local author ities. In the absence of Superinten dent Bailey a- representative of the Palladium questioned Desk Sergeant McManus concerning this story, and he said that there was not the slightest foundation for it. He stated, however, that the local department had received information to the effect that Sipe was arrested by the police of Eaton, and did make a "getaway" at that place. The sergeant made the further statement that the Jay county sheriff being confident that Sipe would come to this city had tele phoned the Richmond department to be on the look out for him, and that in compliance with this request a patrolman was on hand at both the Pennsylvania and C. C. & L. stations watching all the trains on which he might be a passenger, but he did not put in an appearance. WAS RHODILIS DOPED? Millionaire Acted- Strangely at His Wedding. SEEMED TO BE IN DREAM Indianapolis, March 14. The News prints a lengthy and sensational story from Louisville, concerning the recent marriage of George Rhodius, the Indianapolis millionaire, and Alma Dare, a woman of the half world. According to a number of reliable persons who came in contact with the pair while they were in the Falls City, Rhodius talked and acted like a man who was under the influence of dope. He seemed dazed and absolutely unconscious of what was transpiring while the marriage ceremony was being performed in the court house, and either did not answer the questions put to him by the magistrate who conducted the function or else responded in a rambling and incoherent manner.' Most of the Louisville witnesses have expressed a willingness to come to Indianapolis when the insanity proceedings begin. DEATH OF PETER THOMAS Old Resident of Eaton Died Yesterday Morning.

SAYS THAW WAS SANE OPINION OF AN EXPERT Dr. Flint Declares on Witness Stand That the Slayer of Architect White Was Not out of His Mind at Time of the Murder. - .- New York, March 14. A question the reading of which consumed one hour and eighteen minutes ,in the Thaw trial was possibly one of the most peculiar incidents in connection with the taking of evidence during all the tedious and interesting days of the trial. District Attorney Jerome had prepared the long hypothetical question days in advance and consequently was able to distribute printed copies of it to attorneys and members of the jury, so that they could easily follow its reading by attorney Garvam The fact that Dr. Flint, who was under examination, at the concluding of reading expressed it as his opinion that Thaw knew what he was doing at the tjjae of the killing and that he also was able to determine right from wrong did not come as a surprise and all are anxiously awaiting the result of Delmas cross-examination of expert witnesses to determine just wnat effect answers may have on the jury. The hypothetical question w-as practically a book in itself, it covering in all thirty-nine pages of typewritten matter. In the opening sentence of his question, the prosecutor asked the jury to assume that II. K. ( meaning Thaw) lail, tnat one or nis maternal uncles was of unsound mind and that Thaw in i early childhood was of a highly nervous temoerment, that he had St. Vitus dance lasting several weeksv that later he had strenbismus so that he looked cross eyed. Next Jerome asked the jury to assume that Thaw first met E. N. (Evelyn NesbiO in December, 1901 in New York, when she was 17 years old and a chorus girl. Next the question told how in 1903 Thaw planned to send Evelyn and her mother to Europe, "Thaw being a man of means and Evelyn and her mother, persons in straightened circumstances." As the district attorneys question advanced and recalled how the trip had been made to Europe, the refusal to marry Thaw, because of Evelyn's previous relations to White and her adventures in the Madison Square Garden tower attorneys as well as the jurors seemed to take renewed interest in the case, and as Jerome con tinued the recital of how Thaw had received intelegence of just what Evelyn has testified she told her hus band and as in extremely dramatic manner the reJader told of Thaw's walking the floor and kept saying "Oh God," Oh God" and cried and bit his finger nails and his body shook with terrible sobs the jury was visably affected. After telling the story of a weak mother and foolish daughter Jerome's question suddenly turned to the re turn to America, when Evelyn again met White and how White had told her that Thaw was a morphine fiend and crazy and how Evelyn had told Thaw all this and more and then Jerome uncovered a point he emphasised the fact that Thaw at that time displayed no agitation, anger of excitement. When the question was concluded there was a long pause while Dr. Flint seemed to hesitate answering the concluding paragraph, "Now in view of all this and after having ex amined the defendant do you believe he Was insane or sane at the time he fired the shot which killed Stanford White." The response of Dr. Flint was wait ed for anxiously as he replied: "In my opinion Thaw was able to determine right from wrong and he was not Insane". There was a profound silence. Almost immediately afterward the session closed for the day. Wreck on Panhandle. Hamilton, Ohio, March 14. Freight train No. S6, on the Pennsylvania road, driving through a blinding rain storm was ditched about one mile north of the village of Collinsville about 11 o'clock Tuesday night, when the overflow from a pond lying near to the railroad completely washed out the gravel from beneath the tracks for more than fifty yards and although the engine and two stock cars passed oTer the treacherous space tn safety. the weight so weakened the tracks that thirteen cars that followed were ditched and thrown in a heap on the tide o the ro&dr

Motorman Ulerich Injured in Wreck on the I. & E. Early Last Night.

A PASSENGER ALSO HURT "LOCAL" WAS IN THE ACT OF TAKING A SIDING WHEN LIMITED SIDE-SWIPED IT CARS WERE SPLINTERED. The limited car which leaves Richmond at 5:30 in the evening, sideswiped a local car on the I. & E. at Straughn station last night, injuring Motorman Willard Ulerich, in charge of the local and a passenger, Blaine Singhurst, of Terre Haute, who was on his way to Dayton, O., where he was to take a position as car builder Ulerich was cut about the head pret ty badly and Singhurst was injured about the lower limbs, neither seri ouslyf it is thought. Ulerich was brought to his home in Cambridge City and Singhurst to this city, where he was taken to the Reid Memorial hospital" for treatment. A number of other passengers were bad ly shaken up and slightly injured. Motorman Niles, of Greenfield, waa in charge of the limited and from the statement of local traction men last night, he is to blame for the accident The local car was coming east and was in the act of taking the siding at Straughn when struck. According to orders given to all motormen by the I. & E. Niles should have had his car under control when passing an other car, which is going into a siding, This he apparently did not have and the accident resulted. The front end of the limited car was badly splintered by the impact and one side of the local was broken in, and its window shattered. The wreckage was not cleared last night and it was necessary to transfer around the wreck, delaying all cars. It was fortunate for Motorman Niles that he was not seriously hurt, for from the nature of the accident it would seem that he would have been caught I4:' - : , - - Motorman Ulerich is well known in Richmond. Before going to work for the traction company he acted as town marshal of Cambridge City. Last fall the car of which he was in charge struck and killed a man near Green field. At that time he declared he would quit railroading, but it seems he did not do so. NOT SEEKING CONFERENCE President McCrea, of Pennsy Does Not Especially Desire a Meeting With Roosevelt. Philadelphia, March 14.

So far. he says, he has not been approached and if Mr. Morgan has arranged a con ference .for him to consult with the president he has done so without con suiting him.

Uy October 1 of this year a new line for the operation of Interurban freight cars in the north part of thet city will be completed and cars will) be ready to run over It Such was the statement made yesterday afternoon by President Hugh McGowan who spent the greater part of yesterday In the city in a successful effort, to clear tip the local traction muddle. Each complaint thei board of public works, City Attorney; Study and Messrs Brown and Deuker of the council would bring to his attention the big broad-minded president of the Indianapolis, Columbus & Eastern traction company would consider briefly then give his remedy for the complaint, which In every case was acceptable to the city officials. Visit Was an Eye Opener. Mr, .McGowan, thejclty efflclaln. nd several traction, men made a tour of the north end of the city yesterday afternoon and" the proposed routefj for an interurban freight line were viewed. "This visit to Richmond has not only been a pleasure but an eyeopener to me" remarked Mr. McGowan when he saw the great advantage the company would have in running its freight cars through the manufacturing and jobbing district of the city. Judging from this remark the city officials were convinced that Mr. McGowan's subordinates never pointed out to him this advantage. After the inspection trip the party: returned to the city building and there it was practically decided that the new freight route would run from Fifth and Main streets north on Fifth street to North D street, thence ast on D street, to Ft, Wayne avenue aud E street to North Twenty-second street, where the line would turn and run south to Main street,' Other routes were suggested but this on appealed especially to Mr. McGowaa.

Mr. McGowan told the city official that after an examination of the local situation he realized that the Dayton & Western branch of the road had no right to the use of Main street and that he would apply to the city for a franchise. A petition for a franchise for the right to operate freight cars in the city will also be made. Mr. McGowan requested Mr. Study to prepare these franchises, which the city attorney will do at once and submit a rough draught to the local attorney of the road. As soon as the franchises are prepared the board assured Mr. McGow an that a special meeting of the city council would be called and the franchises voted to the company." The council will also suspend the operation of the ordinance prohibiting the operation of freight cars on Main street pending the completion of the new freight line in the north end. Cement Track Foundation. Mr. McGowan stated that the tracks on Main street would be reflxed as soon as possible. He stated that these tracks would be taken up and a ee ment foundation laid for them. Mr. McGowan also stated that in the future he would see that there would be no more Incivility on the part of the employes of the Dayton & Western, which so many local people have complained of from time to time. "Mr. McGowan promised that there would be three limited car stops in the city, one in West Richmond, one at Eighth and Main streets and one ln the east end. Mr. McGowan and his party left at 4:30 yesterday afternoon for Indianapolis. Commissioner Dynes met them . at - the corner of Fifth and v Main streets . by appointment and went on the car as far as Centerville. Mr. McGowan assured Mr. Dynes that special late afternoon ear would be run out of Richmond for the benefit of Centerville people who are employed in Richmond. Mr.. McGowan r
