GAZE DRIVES TO COVER
Pittsburg Millionaire Gives Up
Tramp Around Track with Forty
Other Prisoners Taking Their
Exercise in tho Hot Sun.
NEW YORK, July 2. Kx-Judge Olcott,
of counsel for Thaw, spent nearly the
entire afternoon in the prison In consul
tation with his client. Much of the time
was spent In going over letters which
have been received by Thaw since his
Imprisonment. His mall Is increasing in
size dally, and many of the writers de
clare themselves ready to disclose certain
information concerning Thaw's victim,
which they think may be of use to the
defendant. More tham half a hundred let
ters were received by the prisoner today
and fully half of these were deemed to
be of sufficient importance to demand
consideration by his counsel.
For the first time since his imprison
ment, a week ago. Thaw was permitted
to exercise In the open air today. With
about 40 other prisoners he was taken
to the courtyard of the prison, and to
gether they walked around the elliptical
track around the sides of the yard. The
west side was shady and east side sunny.
After two laps Thaw found the sun too
hot and dropped out and sought a shady
corner. Later he again entered the line
and made a few more laps, but soon
asked permission of tho guards to stay
In the shady spot for the rest of the
exercise time.
It is likely Thaw's request was not so
much due to the fatigue or disinclination
to stay In the sun as to the fact that the
windows of every skyscraper around the
prison were filled from the fourth story
up with peoplo armed with field glasses
who were watching the walking prisoners.
When he got into the shade of the wall
he could not be seen by these curious
ones.
With the return of District Attorney
Jerome from his vacation In the country
the Investigation into the Thaw-White
tragedy was given renewed impetus to
day. Attaches of the District Attorney's
office had been engaged In whipping into
shape the information concerning the
case already at hand, and everything was
in preparation to be submitted to the chief
upon his arrival.
The prisoner's wife called at the usual
hour today and spent some time with him.
When she left the prison she said she
found her husband more cheerful than at
any time since the tragedy.
Allen W. Evarts. counsel for the White
family, called at tho District Attorney's
office today and had a 10 minutes' talk
with Mr. Jerome. This Is the first occasion
on which the White family has been in
touch with the District Attorney's office
In connection with the murder. Anothe
caller at the District Attorney's office was
P. L. Bergoff a private detective, who says
he was employed by White for many
months before the tragedy. Bergoff was'
accompanied by three of his assistants,
who, he says, was actively engaged in
watching both Mr. White and a corps of
detectives who had been employed by
Thaw.
William Bedford. Harry K. Thaw's valet,
died In the Presbyterian Hospital today
from complications following an opera
tion for appendicitis. Bedford was ex
pected to be one of the most important
witnesses at the trial of Thaw.
District Attorney Jerome said today
that there would be no speedy trial of
Thaw. During the Summer vacation there
were only two parts in the General Ses
sions Court in session, and Mr. Jerome
believes that to put a murder trial, which
would probably last two or three weeks.
In trie calendar, would be unfair to at
least 50 or 60 of the other prisoners who
have a prior claim to have their cases
settled. Mr. Jerome refused to discuss
the visit of Mr. Evarts, nor would he have
anything to say regarding the arrival in
New York of the architect's bsother, R.
M. White. He said the details of the
case are In the hands of Mr. Garvin.
THAW'S TRUSTED VALET DEAD
Ante-Mortcm Statement Is Favorable
to His Employer.
NEW YORK. July 2. That there Is no
prospect of a speedy trial for Harry
Kendall Thaw was announced today by
District Attorney Jerome, who returned
to town for two days to devote his per
sonal attention to the case. Owing to the
fact that during the Summer there are
only two parts of the Court of General
Sessions In session and that the trial
would probably last two or three weeks,
the District Attorney decided not to ad
vance the Thaw case on the calendar.
Thaw will hardly be arraigned before Oc
tober. The death today of Thaw's valet, Wil
liam Bedford, in the Presbyterian Hos
pital, from complications following an op
eration for appendicitis, removed an im
portant witness from the case. Assistant
District Attorney Garvan today' gave out
the substance of the last statement made
to him by Bedford. From him Mr. Garvan
aid ho learned that Thaw was not ad
dicted to any drug.
Bedford declared that he had not acted
as a "go-between" for White to get notes
to Mrs. Thaw. He had seen no notes
passed, he alleged. The Thaws, he said,
never quarreled. As to the revolver, the
valet supplemented his previous state
ment that Thaw had carried a revolver
for three or four months by stating that
Thaw had carried a weapon for two
years.
In.connection with tho European trip of
Thaw and Miss Nesblt. he said that he
had accompanied Thaw, and that Thaw
and Miss Nesblt had occupied adjoining,
connecting rooms. The only marriage he
had heard of. he said, was the one that
had taken place at Pittsburg. Mr. White,
he said, had never called, upon Mrs.'
Thaw to his knowledge.
Mr. Garvan examined today p. L Berg
off. a private detective who says that
for many months he was employed with
three assistants by Mr. White to guard
him and to kee'p watch on a corps of
detectives employed by Thaw. Three de
tectives employed by Thaw to watch
White for six months were also exam
ined. They were J. W. Rourke. William
McDonald and Harry Raleigh. They, ac
cording to the Assistant District At
torney, had been instructed by Thaw to
follow White to a steamship pier and
to engage men to pick quarrels with him
at the pier, in order to annoy the architect.
Sail With Nonunion Crews.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2. Two of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company's boats,
the State of California and the City of
Pueblo, got away today with nonunion
crews, despite the present strike and
Settlement or Ancient Land Will Be
Undertaken by Jews.
TANXERSVILLE, N. Y., July 2. A
letter from Dr. Max Nordau, of Paris,
containing a strong appeal for the support
of the already established Jewish Institu
tions In Palestine, aroused much enthusi
asm at today's session of the Federation
of American Zionists here. Much Interest
also was shown in a communication from
Professor Otto Warburg, head of the
Palestine commission, which pointed out
the political, industrial and agricultural
possibilities of Palestine.
Particular stress was laid upon the
favorable attitude now evinced toward
Jewish colonization in Palestine by the
Turkish Government. The commission
recommended the organization of com
mercial, industrial, 'agricultural and com
missions for the exploiting of the re
sources of Palestine.
Dr. H. Plerrera Mendes, president of the
American branch of the Jewish Terri
tory Association, startled the convention
by declaring that the report of. the com
mission, which comes at a critical mo
ment for Zionism, proved that there Is
no need for any other oranlzation to un
dertake relief work for Jews or for other
activities elsewhere. Palestine must come
first, he said, and only when activities
are Impossible In Palestine need activities
or relief work be undertaken elsewhere.
This statement was regarded by the con
vention as notice for the early dissolution
of the territorial movement, which is an
offshoot of Zionism and alms to secure
a grant of land for a Jewish autonomous
state anywhere in the world where the
right to establish such a state may be obtained.
WARM BRUSH WITH ZULUS
Reinforcements Turn British Peril
Into Victory.
DURBAN, South Africa, July 3. (Spe
cial.) Despite the fact that known lead
ers of the rebellious Zulus are dead, a
state of revolution still exists. The
fighting tribes Monday clashed with a
detachment of troops under Colonel Bark
er, and had it not been for the timely
arrival of reinforcements the troops
would have been annihilated.
The situation was saved, however, and
defeat turned into victory', the rebels flee
ing before the onslaught of the reinforce
ments. It Is stated 600 rebels were killed,
while the British loss was small.
COURAGE AMAZES BRITISH
(Continued From Page 1.)
made up the Sentell party. The elder
Mr. Sentell alone escaped death. Many
times before the family had made Euro
pean tripss and there were few places on
the Continent that they had not visited.
Norway and Sweden, however, had been
omitted from their former itineraries, and
for a year the travelers had been read
ing up on these countries and had made
most complete preparations for the trip.
On the day of sailing a large crowd of
young persons, friends of the family, went
to the pier. Among them were some
thing like a score of teachers and as
many pupils, to say nothing of a large
group of acquaintances of the elder Sen
tella Some time before the cry "All for
the shore" sounded, a singular lull came
over the laughing friends, and the same
thought seemed to be in the minds of all.
That thought was:
"What If something awful should hap
pen ?"
Finally the silence was broken, and the
common thought found expression when
one o fthe Misses Sentell said, with ill
feigned carelessness: "Well, good friends,
if anything awful does happen, we will all
go together. It will be a family affair
this time, surely."
Talk of the premonition was kept up
for some minutes, and during it one of
the family told a friend that each of
them had made his or her will only a
few hours before. The Sentells are de
scribed as having been singularly affec
tionate, and when their acquaintances
learned last night of the horror at Salis
bury the conversation was vividly recalled.
Identification of Dead.
SALISBURY, England, July 2. In the

Americans Received by Pope.
ROME, July 2. (Special.) Notwith

GUARDS FIRED INTO REFUGE
Women Who Fled From Murderer's
Fire Hid In Cellar of Store.
STEUBEN VILLS, Ohio, July 2. (Spe
cial.) Prosecuting Attorney Alban issued
warrants today to Sheriff Voorhees to
serve on a large number of mine guards
and strikers at Bradley for participating
in the Sunday afternoon warfare In which
one miner was killed, a number wounded
and a half dozen guards injured. The
captain of the mine guards is Included
In the list. There is said to be evidence
that the guards started the firing without
reason, and it is alleged their continuance
there is a menace to life and property.
Harry Walker, who conducts a store at
Bradlev, secured an injunction restraining
the United States Coal Company and its
agents from interfering with his store.
One hundred women and children were
hidden in his cellar during the battle and
the guards shot into the store a number
of times. Walker's clerks have quit.
