JULY 1. 1906. 2 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. WHITE LIVED IN OFT Detective Was With Architect as Bodyguard During Year Before the Shooting. HIS MOVEMENTS WATCHED Victim Protested That He Had Only a Fatherly Interest In Actress Evelyn Xesblt After Her Marriage to Pittsburger. NEW YORK, June 30. "Mrs. Thaw will 'be the principal witness In her husband's defense. She will tell a thrilling and start ling story. I cannot make the details public now, but her testimony will open the eyes of New Yorkers and people all over the world." This statement was made today by ex Judge Olcott, of counsel for Harry K. Thaw. Some interesting side lights were thrown on the Thaw-White tragedy by a private detective, who declared that he was em ployed by White as a bodyguard for more than a year before the shooting. In ex tracts from his diary the detective says that White undoubtedly feared for his life; that he took minute precautions to guard against a surprise; that equally in genious plans were made by a corps of detectives employed by Thaw to keep track of White's movements, and that on the day that White was shot he had de cided to apply to the authorities to pre vent the continuance of the espionage to which he had been subjected. According to the detective, White paid over $6000 between February 14. 1905, and the day of his death in the protection of his person, and for the shadowing of the detectives who were pursuing him. The detective thus describes a meeting between White and himself, when he told the architect that Thaw wa3 the employer of the detectives who were annoying White. According to the statement. White said: "This man Thaw is crazy. He imagines that I have done him some wrong. I jsed to know hie wife. I befriended her and her family. Thaw is insanely jealous of his wife. He doubtless imagines that I am meeting her, and, before God, I am not. My friendship for the girl was taken from a purely fatherly interest, and since her marriage she has repaid my kindness by annoying me greatly by making re marks to mutual acquaintances. Such re marks are intended to arouse the Jeal ousy of her husband. I cannot understand It. I never in my life Injured man or woman." According to the diary. June 25 White snid he had decided It was time to close up the matter. While said he was a ner vous wreck, and that on the following day, Tuesday, he was going to tako final action in the courts. That night he was shot. MRS. THAW PAYS A LONG VISIT Wife of Millionaire Is Taking Ac live Part in securing Evidence. NEW YORK, June SO. Mrs. Thaw paid a visit to her husband today and remained with him for over an hour and a half the longest visit she has yet paid to the Tombs to see the mil lionaire. The prisoner is still in a nervous state, but was much cheered by the visit of ills wife. Mrs. Thaw obtained a special pass from tho Department of Charities and Corrections to visit Harry Thaw. She had intended spending Sunday out of town, but on account of Thaw's nerv ous condition she altered her plans. Thaw's name has been placed on the list of prisoners in the Tombs, charged with homicide, which Is hung- in the prison office and can be seen by the public. Thaw Is No. 2:1 on tho list. Today Hilda Mrs. Traw not only a willing witness for her husband, but nn active assistant for his attorneys. She assumed the roles of Informant and inquisitor, securing the evidence of many young women who knew Stan ford White, and aiding her attorneys questioning others. Truxton Beale. wtao was with White at the dinner which preceded the shooting, has not appeared as yet. and is believed to be in Washington. His evidence la wanted to follow that of Thomas McCa leb. who dined with the Thaws Monday night, and who appeared before the act ing District Attorney yesterday. McCaleb was at the roof garden with Thaw at the time of the shooting. From what could be learned, MeCaleb's story Is Interesting In showing that Mra Thaw and he started to leave the roof garden before the shooting, and were on their way out when they heard the shots. Mc Caleb is said to have sworn that when the shots were heard Mrs. Thaw snatched him by the arm and made this remark: "My God. He-has shot him." Just what reason McCaleb gave for their starting to leave before the shooting could not be learned. He said that he had gone to dinner with them at the Cafe Martin, described how they sat at the table, and where White sat. The seat that White took was one facing Mrs. Thaw. McCaleb said that White's name, however, was not mentioned at the dinner, and he did not pee any note passed between Thaw and his wife during the dinner. When they got to the roof garden he sat down with Mrs. Thaw. Thaw after a while got out of his seat and left them. His statement covered many important points, it is said, but every effort Is being made to keep all evidence quiet until the trial. MARRIAGE WAS A COMPROMISE Thaw Blamed White for the Suit Brought by Evelyn Nesbit. NEW YORK. June 30. (Special.) The Herald says that so far as the evidence discloses, the secret of ThaWs hatred for White was a suit started against him by Evelyn Nesbit, prior to her marriage to Thaw. In this action she made an extra ordinary .affidavit, the document giving details of such a nature that there was no probability he would permit it to go on record if he had it in his power to suppress it by making payment, even though he might believe he was being blackmailed. Whatever Thaw may have thought at the time, he could not afford to have the matter .fcecome public, and he com promised. He declared the case was an effort to extort money, but he paid and then he made Evelyn Nesbit his bride. Thaw had reason to believe that Stan ford White had not only been consulted about the proceeding, but had a hand in Its inception and knew every word that had been written, if he had not actually dictated the humiliating passages of the affldavidt. Mixed in Lederer Divorce Suit. NEW YORK. June 10. (Special.) In discussing the part that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw played in the roof garden tragedy, the fact that this is not the first time the TERROR HAW former chorus girl came Into unpleasant notoriety is often commented upon. In the divorce suit brought by the second Mrs. George W. Lederer, formerly Adele Rice, which is still in the courts, Evelyn Nesbit was mentioned in the complaint which was drawn by the plaintiff. At that time Miss Nesbit was frequent ly in the company of the theatrical man ager, who had given her a part "with lines" in "The Wild Rose." It has been said that Lederer met the girl through the interest taken in her by Stanford White, but this is said to be incorrect. Those who recall the circumstances say that both Mrs. Nesbit and her daughter were well acquainted with Lederer, and that he had introduced the girl, then 15 years old, to the architect, who from the first evinced more than a passing inter est in her. FAT MAN HERD OE DUEL LONG WALK TO BATTLEFIELD EX HAUSTS MONSIEUR ROUSSET. When Sword Are Crossed the Doctors Interfere and AH Honor Is Declared Satisfied. (Special Cable to the Central News and The Oregonian.) PARIS. June 30. The latest duel fought has been brought to a happy end. While there was no actual nght ing the duel was declared fought and honor satisfied. Monsieur d'Ecole and Monsieur Rousset had a dispute on a personal matter and decided to settle It by a duel. The encounter took place at the Grande Roue, but no blood was shed. M. Rousset happens to be an enor mously stout man. He couldn't button his own boots if he were given $1,000. 000 a button. The duellists and their friends had to make their way for half a mile through the forest from the carriages before the convenient glade was reached. It was unusual exercise for the fat man. When he had stripped to his shirt sleeves he was so fatigued he could hardly hold the rapier. Per spiration streamed off his face and neck. As the opponents crossed swords and were about to begin fighting the doc tors suddenly called a halt. They ex amined M. Rousset and then gave their verdict that he was much too fatigued to continue. Any further exertion such as a duel would entail might be fatal. M. d'Ecole cheerfully agreed and immediately shook hands. As the rapiers had been actu illy crossed the duel was stated to ha- e been "fought." At the subsequent banquet M. Rousset was the hero of the occasion. CAPITAL, STOCK WAS SPEXT Inventor of Bullet-Proof Cuirass Charged With Fraud. MILAN, June 30. (Special.) The trial of Signor Beneditti, the inventor of a bullet-proof cuirass, on charges of fraud In connection with the organization of a company to manufacture his cuirass and with obtaining money from the Milanese Bank on the strength of an order from the Russian Government for his goods, will begin here on Tuesday and is ex pected to be of a sensational nature. The Russian government, after testing Boneditti's device, gave him an order for 100.000 of the cuirasses. He secured sev eral advances from the bank for the pur pose of manufacturing his device. With the assistance of an accomplice named Mazznnt. he organized a company to man ufacture the cuirasses. The capital stock was $300,000 and all of the stock was dis posed of. Instead of trying to till the Russian order, it is charged that Ben ditti and Mazzoni spent all the money they raised within a few months. Among the witnesses who will testify at the trial will be the Russian Ambassador and the Japanese military attache. Tes timony Is expected to be sensational in the extreme.

Informa tion has reached here that King Haakon VII. the newly crowned monarch of Nor way, Is very much dissatisfied with con ditions as they prevail In the country over which he has assumed the rule. He complains that his advisers have no re spect for his royal dignity. They hustle him about as If he were a servant Instead of the King. During his recent tour of the country, on his way from Christiana to Trondhjem for his coronation, the populace, while turning out In large numbers to see him, lacked the devout homage for their mon arch which Haakon has been accustomed to seeing bestowed upon a ruler. The newspapers also have been unrestrained in their criticism and this has added to his discomfiture. Altogether, it is said Haakon Is sorry that he has undertaken to rule over a country where such little respect is shown for royalty. Crew of Argentine Is Safe. MONTEVIDEO, June 30.

OPERA COMPANY STRANDED American Players Are Left Destitute in South Africa. NEW YORK. June 30. News has reached here that the James Nelson Op era Company, an American organization, has collapsed in South Africa, leaving 40 persons, 24 of them women, destitute. Al though stagnation of trade was the prin cipal cause of the failure, a strong factor was the popular prejudice against Amer icans. The company opened in Johannesburg, and after seven weeks of bad business went to pieces. The generosity of certain Johannesburg people enabled the stranded singers to reach Cape Town, where they are now, except ten, who have raised enough money to reach Southampton, en route to New York.

ANSWER TO HIS SPEECH Charges That as Lackey of Standard Oil, Texan Squirms at At tacks and Tries to Hide Himself. WASHINGTON, June 30. William Randolph Hearst tonight telegraphed the following from San Francisco in answer to the speech made by Sena tor Bailey in the Senate Thursday: "Senator Bailey said little of import ance and consequently there is little to be said in reply. "I cannot honestly claim credit for the able articles on the Senate in the Cosmopolitan Magazine, although I would be glad to do so. "Their excellence Is due to Mr. Phil lips, and their value can be estimated by the aroused semi-sense of decency in some cases and shame in others. "As for Senator Bailey personally, he began his career In Washington by expressing unwillingness to wear even the conventional dress suit. He ended by wearing tamely .and humbly the scarlet livery of the corporations. "But while Bailey Is willing to wear the trust livery and answer the Rocke feller bell as readily as any other Standard OH lackey, he does not like to have attention called to his badge of servitude, and at present he is doing his best to hide it and shield himself behind the grave of the dead Senator Gorman. "The whole matter has no interest for me, however, except Insofar as it illustrates that growing evil in Amer ican public life the control of the peo ple's representatives by the corpora tions.

Pure OREGON IMPORTING CO PORTLAND'S GREATEST WINE MERCHANTS "SATISFACTION OR YOUR MONEY BACK" WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN. From the view point of the average mn housework is very easy. The wife is right at home. She is her own mis tress. She can sit down and rest any time. She can even go to bed for a nap if she feels like it. She can order her household affairs ju6t to suit her own convenience. If she doesn't feel equal to doing work to-dav, she can do it to-morrow. That's the beautiful theory of the average man. Just suppose the Egyptian task-masters, when they made the required daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost of human strength, had said to the toiling slaves, "Don't hurry, take a rest every now and then only don't forget that your tale of bricks must be all right at night or else there'll be trouble." There's the fact. There are the day's duties to be got through, and t!. women who can rest may not. The woman, who, when she married, said, "Now, I'll be my own mistress," finds herBelf a slave to household cares and duties. And oh ! how much that woman needs rest sometimes. She brushes and scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples throbbing, her back aching, her nerves quivering under the stress of pain. What she would give if she could just creep upstairs and throw herself on the bed in a darkened room and rest. Rest would temporarily relieve the strain, doubtless, but it would be the same story over again to-morrow. The real need of weak, nervous women is strength, and that need is fully met and satisfied bv Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It re moves the causes of women's weak ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the nerves, encourages the appetite and induces restful sleep. "Favorite Pre scription" is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain ful menstruation, unnatural suppres sions and irregularities, prolapsus or falling of the womb, weak back, " female weakness," anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic con gestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, inflammation, pain and tenderness of the ovaries, accompanied with "internal heat." " I am pleased to add my testimony in behalf of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre scription," writes Miss Eariine Agard, Chaplin, Patriotic Daughters of Amer ica, of 413Ji Michigan Avenue, Lansing, Mich.
