TO TEST SANITY HERE

Defense Demands That He Be

Sent to lscw Hampshire as

Result c Verdict.

Anticipating an attempt on the part

of the District Attorney to forcibly

rush Harry Thaw back to Matteawan

Asylum In the event 'of Justice Page

denying the motion to send Thaw to

New Hampshire, counsel for the de

fense arranged this afternoon for pro

curing a writ of habeas corpus from

Justice DIJur In Part U. of the Su

preme Court.

The writ is to be returnable forth

with, and If served before Thaw Is

started for Matteawan will act as a

atay. However, Thaw's counsel ore

of the opinion that the writ will not

bo necessary, for they anticipate that

Justlco Pago will reserve opinion un

til plans can be 'completed for giving

Thaw a Jury trial In this county on

the question ot his sanity.

The Thaw forces will be strength

ened by numerous new witnesses, In

cluding the Jurors who acquitted

him and four others Saturday on the

conspiracy charge. All the Jurors

thought Thaw sane, although the

question was not permitted to figure

In reaching a verdict.

The conspiracy trial gave Thaw

several other valuable witnesses,

gathered for him by tho proseoutlon.

These Include employees of Mattea-

wan who testified they were In dally

contact with Thaw at the asylum, and

who, as far as they were permitted,

attested his sanity. A positive ex

pression of opinion was ruled out, but

It eoemed apparent from tbelr atti

tude such opinions would have been

favorable t' Thaw.

If the Jurors are called, It will be as

lay witnesses. Mr. Cook admitted to

day their testimony was admissible

as lay witnesses, and added he did

not expect the coming battle to be one

of experts alone.

Tbaw'a friends declare he has no

FIVE BOYS VANISH

UP FOR

NEW YORK, MONDAY, MARCH 15, 1915.

WILSON S DEMAND

BACKED BY CRUISER

Ship Blockade at Progreso

Lifted and American Cargoes

Allowed to Pass Out.

U. S. VESSEL FIRED ON.

Another Was Held Up by Mex

ican Gunboat Before Presi

dent's Final Warning.

WASHINGTON, March IS. Geu.

Carrania has abandoned his blockade

of the port of Progreso on urgent rep

resentations by the United States. The

Mexican gunboat Zaragosa has beoti

called off and two American ships lad

en with sisal for the United States

have cleared without Interference.

The backdown of Carranxa was re

ceived here simultaneously with the

ann6uncement that the United States

had served notice on Carrania. that

the port of' Progreso, through which

practically all the slaal used In mak

ing harvesting twine for this country

la obtained, must be kept open, and

was prepared to back up its demand

with the cruiser Des Moines, now at

that port.

The Dcs Moines has been at Pro

greso for somo days and waa pre

pared for vigorous action In case

Carranra persisted in maintaining

the blockade.

Ilear-Admtral Caperton, command

ing the American fleet in Moxlcan

waters, roported tho raising of the

blockade In his official despatches

early to-day and reported that the

Zaragosa had returned to Vera Cruz.

It became known for thn flrnt time

to-day that last week the Mexican

gunbout had stopped one American

ship with a shot across her bows,

had held up another and had Inter

fered with British shipping.

Slnco Feb. SS tho Stato Department

had steadily protested to Carranza

again closing Progreso, where

thero hnvo been factional troubles be

tween Mexicans nominally under his

control. Thn peoplo of Yucatan, It

was said, obtain all their food from

outslda sources, and wcro as anxious

that the embargo bo raised as was tho

United States. Carranza allowed no

food to go Into Progreso nlnco ho es

tablished tho blockade.

The American notice made it plain

that tho United State had no In

tention ot Interfering In tho factional

troubles nt Progreso, but was inter

ested only In tho sisal question.

Fear Is felt here concerning the

safety of foreigners at Manzanillo, a

port on tho Pacific nldo of Mexico,

because of the failuro of Carranza's

forces to maintain order thero and

tho diminishing food supply. Amor

lacn warships now In tho vicinity of

Manzanillo probably will bring for

eigners there away 'should conditions

not Improve.

It was when the Eltel was making

Thlerlchens, be says, what the latter

would do If hostile warships should

"I would elgnsl that women and

children of the allies were on board,"

answered the German.

"nut if the enemy took your signals

for a ruse?" suggested the French

man. "Then there vould be nothing for

me but to give battle," Thlerlchens

was asnrted to have replied.
