NOW IN A COUNTY JAIL Tending Decision on AVrit of Habeas Corpus, He Will Remain in Cus tody of Dutchess County He Gains CO Pounds in Asylum. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., May 4. Temporarily, at least, Harry Kendall Thaw is out of the Matteawan Hos pital for Uie Criminal Insane. Aa a result of today's proceedings on the writ of habeas corpus, brought in an effort to have him declared sane, he will remain in the Dutchess County Jail until the final decision on the writ is handed down. The formal hearing in the case will come before the Su preme Court here next Monday. The adjournment was taken upon the request of a representative of the Dis trict Attorney of New York County to give District Attorney Jerome an op portunity to appear in person to oppose Thaw's release from the asylum. In the meantime, Thaw will remain in the Dutchess County Jail here in stead of returning to Matteawan. Thaw appeared to be In excellent health today, having gained fully 20 pounds In weight since his transfer to the asylum from 'the Tombs. Evelyn Nesbit to Help. One of the interesting features of today's proceedings was an announce ment that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, al though she has brought suit for annul ment of her marriage, will appear, if necessary, as a witness in 'her hus band's behalf. Thaw undoubtedly will go on the stand in his own behalf, Mr. Peabody said. He declared that the prisoner Is willing to submit to any examination the court or the District Attorney may desire as proof of his sanity. The opening of the hearing was delayed by a conference between District Attor ney Mack, of Dutchess County, and Assist ant District Attorney Garvan. of New York. Dr. Baker, the acting superinten dent of the asylum, was called in the con ference, at the conclusion of which Mr. Graham formally filed his writ and re ceived from District Attorney Mack his return to It. District Attorney Mack then moved that the proceedings be sent to New York CountyT Mr. Mack said he was informed that it would cost Dutchess County J30.000 to have the proceedings tried in Dutchess County. He thought it would be bad for the taxpayers of the county if the prece dent were established that such cases must be tried here.

He angued that the case should be concluded under the jurisdiction where it originated. Mr. Graham opposed the motion. He contended that the proceedings should be tried under the statute in the Judicial dis trict where the habeas corpus was made returnable. He said that the statement of cost of the proceedings had been exag gerated; that the function of the New York District Attorney ended with the murder trial, and that the New York Dis trict Attorney could appear only by cour tesy of the court, and not Dutchess Coun ty District Attorney. "To spend $30,000 would be a waste of the public money. It can be entirely reg ulated by the District Attorney of Dutch ess County, as he must audit the bills." Judge Morschauer denied the motion to transfer the hearing, but offered to sit in New York to hear the people's testimony, if both sides were to consent. Thaw Committed to Jail. Mr. Graham raised the question as to where Thaw should be confined during the proceedings, and the court ordered him committed to the Dutchess County Jail. Thaw smiled with pleasure at the an nouncement. It was arranged to adjourn the proceedings to May 11, providing Mr. Jerome can be here on that date. After the relators' side has been heard. Judge Morschauer will sit in New York to accommodate Mr. Jerome and his wit nesses. Adjournment was then announced and Thaw was conducted to the jail floor of the courthouse. He is in the custody of Sheriff Robert Chanler as the officer of the court. He will have a large room and his meals will be sent from a restau rant. He can receive any visitors he wishes to see.

TABLED BY COMMITTEE Speaker Blocks Attempt to Prevent Conference and Opposes Long Debate New Compromise Proposed by Payne. WASHINGTON, May 4. Notwithstand ing the fact that the committee on bank ing and currency today voted to table the new Vreeland financial bill, the Impres sion prevailed among many members that that measure would be adopted at the conference of Republican members of the House to be held tomorrow night. The vote in committee by which the Vreeland bill was tabled was 13 to 3, Weeks, Burton and McKlnney voting in the negative. The committee adopted a resolution offered by Waldo, of New York, requesting that suitable time be given, a week if possible, for discussion in the House of all pending currency measures. Chairman Fowler was authorized to lay this request before Speaker Cannon. Effort to Compromise. During the afternoon strong efforts were made to effect a compromise on the financial question and the proposition adopted some time ago by Payne, the Republican leader, was taken up by Fowler and other members of the com mittee as the basis for an argument. This proposition allows any National banking association, which has circulating notes outstanding secured by deposits of United States bonds to an amount equal to its capital stock paid In, to take out additional circulation upon depositing United States bonds or certificates of in debtedness authorized during the Spanish Amerclan War. The proposition was ac ceptable to some of the House leaders and also to members of the banking and cur rency committee. Let Caucus Decide. It was first thought by offering this proposition as an amendment to the Fowler currency commission bill the cau cus which had been called for tomorrow night could be obviated. When the plan was laid before the Speaker, together with the request of the committee for a week's, debate, he informed Fowler that he had authority to call off the confer ence or to grant the time for debate asked for. He stated that more than a sufficient number of Republicans had signed the call for the conference and It was for tne conference to determine what measures should be decided upon. He gave It aa his opinion that the members would not care to etay here an additional week listening to- the financial discussion, i When the decision of the Speaker be- the Town by Storm Never such enthusiasm, never such phenomenal selling at any similar event.

UNIONISTS NOT SATISFIED Want Explanation of Asqulth's Statements on Home Rule. LONDON, May 4. Dissatisfied with Premier Asqulth's answers on the sub ject of home rule for Ireland, given in the House of Commons April 30. in reply to a question by Walter Long, Conservative, the Unionists again raised this question in the House this afternoon. They elici ted a statement from the Premier that he was not responsible for the construc tion placed by John E. Redmond and the Irish League on the utterances of Wins ton Spencer Churchill during his Man chester campaign. The only statement the Premier authorized was that it was not possible for any one to determine now what issues would be placed before the country at the next general election, but the disenabling pledge given at the last election applied only to the existing Parliament, and thereafter the Liberal party would claim to possess an abso lutely free hand to deal with the prob lem of Irish government. Marksmen for Camp Perry. WASHINGTON, May 4. Before he left Washington last Monday for the Pacific Coast, Secretary Metcalf decided to limit the selection of candidates for the Camp Perry, Ohio, small arms matches to the markesmen who are attached to ships on the Atlantic Coast.

No serious damage of any kind resulted, however. "The head wind struck us as soon as we got outside of the breakwater at San Pedro," said Commander Hutch I. Cone.
