Socialists Striving to Give the Movement a Revolutionary Character—100,000 Workmen are Now Idle and a Large Increase is Looked for Today—Banks are Clos- ed and Carefully Guarded. Stockholm, Aug. 3.—A labor war throughout Sweden that is scheduled to begin tomorrow threatens to develop in Stockholm into something approach- ing a miniature revolution. The trou- ble will be enormously aggravated by the general strike and lockout. The members of the young socialist party are striving to give the movement a revolutionary character, and the gov- ernment, warned that a_ political cam- paign is going on at the same time, has taken steps to nip the expected Gisorder in the bud. The authorities have decided, at the first signs of in- surrection, to declare Stockholm in a state of siege. - Army Is ‘in Readine: Soldiers are being quartered in dif- ferent sections of the city and sub- urbs, and the entire standing army of Sweden js ready for eventualities.

The bridges lead- ing to the islands adjacent to Stock- holm are closely guarded this after- noon. Many stores already have been closed and no milk is being delivered in the city. The sale of spirits, beer and wine has been prohibited in both shops and restaurants. The labor conflict that is at the bot- tom of the trouble originated in a dis- pute over wages in the wool and cot- ton industries. In the beginning 13,000 men were locked out and other indus- tries since have become involved until yesterday the members of the federa- tion of employers declared a lockout of the iron foundry hands, numbering about 30,000 men. A total of 80,000 men were reported locked out yester- day and their numbers are increasing rapidly. GOVERNMENT ‘SHORT CHANGED' In Customs Duties on Imported Beers —Change in Regulations.

Mr. Parker, when the house came together after recess, withdrew his mo- tion to adjourn. Mr. Johnson moved to reconsider the motion to adhere, and about sim- ultaneously Mr. Burnes moved to ad- ‘journ. The motion to adjourn was put. The “noes” were in a large majority and the motion was lost. Mr. Burnes said that the telephone matter could come up the first thing in the morning, if a motion to ad- Journ was carried. Mr. Dunn of Windham said tHat the motion to adjourn was made while the Johnson motion was pending. Mr. Bennett of Norwalk moved to take a recess until 10.15 a. m., Wed- nesday, and soon withdrew it.

Thaw, who killed Stanford White, was ‘adjudged insane, but now de- mands his release from the Matteawan asylum as a mentally normal man. All three testified that he was in-| sane and when Thaw took the stand Dbrefly after some disconcerting testi- mony, ‘he was plainly ruffled and ner- vous, but Mr. Jerome dismissed him after a few comparatively unimport- ant questions. Alienist Questioned by Justice Smith. Of the alienists_who testified—Dr. Austin Flint, Dr. William Hirsch and Dr. Amos T. Baker, the last named gave testimony of the most import- ance, He is acting superintendent of Matteawan and appears as a witness withqut compensation, the only alien- ist in the case with this distinction. Justice Mills called attention to this fact and took a hand in questioning him. Dr. Baker said that in his opinion Thaw was not only-insane now, but a dangerous person to be at large. Thaw Pale and Nervous. It was shortly after this declaration that Mr. Jerome quickly called Thaw to the stand. He was pale and ap- parently shaken and kept removing and wiping his eyeglasses, Incoherent Notes in Evidence. The district attorney put some rath- er imtolierent motes written by the prisoner in evidence and asked him to explain them. After parries back and forth and laborious”explanations By Thaw as to the meaning of cer- tain writings, he said: “And I want you to know, Mr. Jerome, that many of those notes you call suggestions were written at the request of, my lawyers. Admits He Interfered with Lawyers. Mr. Jerome pointed his finger at the witness and said: “Do you mean to sit there and tell us, who observed you in both homicide trials, that you did not believe you knew more about the case than vour Jawyers did?” “I_do,” was Thaw's quick reply. “You were nice and docile ali the time?” FOR THAW IN COURT Dr. Baker Opines that He is Not Only Insane, JEROME SUBMITS INCOHERENT NOTES When Called to the Stand, Thaw was Pale and Agitated —Had Listened to Three Alienists Testifying that He s Insane—Admits He Interfered with Lawyers Dur- ing His Trial for Murder of Stanford White. ‘ to be at Large “I think I behaved myself.” “Never discharged any lawyers?" “Oh, yes; 1 discharged some law- all “Only when I thought it was abso- lutely necessary.” “Then you did offer some sugges- tions, I také it?” said the district at- torney, sarcastically. “Oh,’ yes, some,” was the reply. Thaw was excused after a bit more of this ordeal and Dr. Austin Flint was called. Dr. Flint described a paranolac as a person dominated by certain delus- & ions, whose mental and physical .state might not otherwise be affected ex- cept in $o far as these delusions in- * fluence him. The progress of the dis- ease was usually very slow, he said. It rarely caused death and except in the last stages the patient might re= tain his faculties unimpaired. “Paranoiacs,” he concluded, sively, “never recover.” Dr. Hirsch varied the general v nd yet you did not interfere at impres- dict by declaring Thaw a “dege o paranpiac.” Unhappy Moments for One of the Ex- perts. Charles Morschauser, Thaw's attor- ney, attacked this testimony with ev- ery legal expedient. In Dr. Flint's case he endeavored to show that he had given contradictory testimony in two previous cases where he appeared as an expert. He caused Dr. Hirsch some unhappy momerts by inquiring about a book he is writing. “Do you in this book claim that Jepus Christ was a paranolac? he asked. The allenist's reply was that he would not like to give an opinion on the subject. The alienists today delivered their opinion of Thaw in answer to Jerome's hypothetical question, only a smail part of which was read. It dealt main- ly with Thaw's family history and his early life. The state's alienists will probably occupy the center of the stage for two days more. Mr. Morschauser will continue tgmorrow his cross examina- tion of either Dr. Fling or Dr. Hirsch, both of which were left unfinished. Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald has yet to tes- tify. He will be called by Mr. Je- rome. FUNERAL OF DR. LUK WING. Services Held in New York Over Body of Murdered Chinese Vice Consul.
