1 NOT APPEAL
But Thaw Objects to Confine
ment at Matteawan.
RESIGNED TO HIS FATE
Prisoner Talks Cheerfully to Repor
ters With Regard lo His Case.
Silent Concerning Wife's
Suit to Annul Marriage.
POUGHKEKPS1K, N. Y., May 25,
Harry K. Thaw has accepted apparently
with resignation the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Morsehauser that he is
aiill insane' and that the interests of the
public will be best served by denying him
liberty. Pending the signing of the papers
of recommitment, which probably will not
be done before a week from next Satur
day, Thaw will occupy Sheriff Chanlera
suite in the county building here. In the
meantime, an effort will be made by
Thaw's attorneys to Induce District At
torney Jerome to consent to the commit
ment of the prisoner to one of the state
hospitals other than Matteawan. It is said
that in event of Mr. Jerome giving his
consent to such a changre no appeal will
ho taken from Justice Morschauser's de
cision. Even if an appeal were taken. It
could not be argued before Fall.
Silent as to Wife's Suit.
After his attorney had shown him a
copy of Judge Morschauser's decision.
Thaw gave the reporters an interview,
and talked volubly about his case and on
everything except his wife, and when her
auit for annulment of their marriage was
mentioned he stood up and Indicated that
the interview was at an end. His chief
theme was the newspaper reports of the
evidence on this trial. Much testimony
favorable to htm, he asserted, was not
published, probably because it did not ap
pear to the reporters interesting, while
undue prominence was given District At
torney Jerome's cross-examination of
Thaw experts, because Jerome knew how
to make It Interesting. He said:
"Take, for instance. Dr. Jacoby. His
direct testimony was conclusive, but
not interesting. His cross-examination
under Mr. Jerome was Interesting, and
the newspapers printed it. Probably I
should have done the same as the re
porters in the same position."
Thaw did not discuss the action of
the court. He said that Mr. Jerome
had done what he deemed his duty.
Cheerful in Circumstances.
Asked about a report that Evelyn
Thaw would withdraw her annulment
suit in order to try to have herself ap
pointed custodian of her husband's
property. Thaw said he had no fear of
any such action. Thaw was cheerful
for a man who had Just heard bad
news.
Mr. Graham said that the order for
recommitment would probably not be
signed by Justice Morschauser until a
week from next Saturday. In the
meantime efforts will be made to In
duce Mr. Jerome to consent to Thaw's
commitment to one of the state hos
pitals other than Matteawan.
If Mr. Jerome consents. Thaw will
not appeal from the decision. If he
does appeal, It cannot be argued before
the Brooklyn Appellate Division until
Fall. Mrs. Thaw, Harry's mother, ami
Mrs. George L. Carnegie, his sister, vis
ited him in the jail today.
Thaw sent for the reporters a second
time tonight and gave out a statement
In which he sought to make clear his
point that District Attorney Jerome's
"hot air" fooled the newspapers into
giving more attention to points adverse
to him than to thoee favorable to his
case.
Thaw, to prove his contention, pre
sented several typewritten pages of
questions and answers covering com
pletely his examination. Before leav
ing the reporters Thaw asked rto have
a denial made that he had discussed
with his mother, Mrs. "William Thaw,
and hi sister, Mrs. George 1. Carnegie,
who visited him today- and Saturday,
his wife's affairs, or talked with them
about her annulment suit or the rumor
that she would apply for appointment
as trustee of his estate.
GOVERNED BY FATHER'S WIMj
No Court Can Get Control of Harry
Thaw's Property.
PITTSBURG, May 36. Concerning the
report that Mrs. Harry K. Thaw will
abondon the proceedings to annul her
marriage and attempt instead to be ap
pointed a trustee or committee of her
husband's estate, Frank Semple, agent
and attorney in fact for the Thaw es
tate, said today:
It will take a very fine rake for any com
mittee which may be appointed for Harry
K. Thaw to find anr estate in which he has
an interest not provided for by the terms
of his father's will. I can hardly believe
that the court would appoint Mrs. Harry
K. Thaw trustee or committee of his es
tate, but if sbe or anyone else is appointed
they will And that the executors and trus
tees under the will of William Thaw have
absolute control of all hts interest in his
father's estate. Personally, I know nothing
about his personal affairs, except that the
will makes explicit just how the interest of
Harry K. Thaw shaJl be held and distrib
uted. Certainly no order of court appointing-
a, committee or trustee of his
estate In the event he is finally declared
insane could avoid or change the terms
of the wni of his father. It will stand,
no matter what order any court might
make.
WOMAN CATCHES ROBBER
FRUSTRATES PLAN TO STEAL
$43,000 ON STREET. .
Thugs Throw Red Pepper in Bank
Clerk's Face, but Brave Waitress
Brings Police by Screams.
NEW TORK, May 25. While three em
ployes of the Jefferson Bank were on
their way from the branch at Clinton
and Houston streets to the main bank
on Canal street, carrying $43,000 cash,
they were attacked on First street by
three men, who Jumped upon them and
threw pepper In their faces, the leading
thug attacking Samuel Bdelman, who
carried the money, grabbing his money
bag and attempting to run with It. The
other thugs took cars of Joseph H.
Velsor and Abraham Stern, the other
messengers.
Edelman tried to shake his assailant
off, but was faring badly under the pum
mellng, when Mrs. Eva Javornioka, a
waitress In a nearby restaurant, grabbed
the leader of the attacking band by the
arm. She screamed so loudly for' help
that a patrolman came running up,
frightening the other two thugs away,
and was right at the heels of the man
who had attacked Edelman by the time
he had managed to shake himself free
from the waitress. The fugitive was
captured.
The man arrested gave his name as
Caslmo Riccobono. The police tonight
arrested Riccobono's father, Giovanni
Riccobono, and his two brothers, Salva
tori and Dameno Riccobono, who are
held as suspects for a further examina
tion tomorrow.
BURGLAR ROBS DETECTIVE

Leaving His Gun.
CHICAGO. May i5. A burglar with
a humorous turn of mind, who picked
as his victim a detective noted in his
district as an expert "thief catcher," Is

In bed, appropriating diamond cuff but
tons, stickpins, other articles of jewelry
and some cash, which he found under
the detective's pillow.
The thief added insult to Injury he
left the policeman's gun, not even re
moving the cartridges before he left,
but he took his star.

SHIPPING OREGON BERRIES
Hundred Crates of $4 Fruit Sent
From Hood River by Express.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 25. (Special. )
The strawberry season opened at Hood
River .yesterday, when 100 crates of
berries, selling at $4 a crate, were shipped
by express. Indications now point to a
crop that will reach 100 cars and will
be of as fine quality as any that has
ever been shipped from Hood River.
This Is said to be indicated by the long
blossoming period whioh this year has
extended over a period of 40 days. The
blossoms are also larger than they have
ever been known to be, a fact which
Is said by veteran growers to show that
berries will be extra large this year.
As the picking season usually lasts for
the same length of time as the blos
soming period, a longer season than
usual is looked for, and a far bigger crop
than has been gathered for the last three
years. It is estimated that the acre
age In berries this year is in the neigh
borhood of 600. This is somewhat smaller
than it has been in previous years, but
Is offset by the extra heavy bearing con
dition of the plants which now show that
they were untouched by frost.
The unusually cool weather this year
has made the berry season somewhat
later than was expected and shipments
so far have been light. Prices, however,
have been good, and are still holding
firm at $4 a crate. Many more orders
than can be filled at this price have been
received and It is not expected that there
will be much of a drop in this figure for
several days. It will take, a number of
warm days to very materially increase
the output and big shipments are not
looked for before the 1st of June. Pickers
should be on the ground and ready for
business by that time, and are expected
to make good money.

USEFUL HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS
A COAT of Natural Jap-a-lae applied
over old or new linoleum or oil cloth
will double Its life, by preserving; the
original coat of varnish which would
otherwise soon be washed or worn off.
"WEATHER BEATEN front doors are
revived and beautified when coated
with Jap-a-lac, and "newness follows
the brush." It is best to use the color
nearest that of the old finish.
WINDOW and DOOR screens should
be coated with Jap-a-lac each Spring,
using- the Brilliant Black on the wire,
and the Mahogany, Oak, Cherry or Wal
nut on the frames. It gives them new
life and the wire cloth is protected
from rust.
PORCH FURNITURE should be pro
tected and beautified eacn Spring with
Jap-a-lac. It Is best to use the color
of the old finish; but if you wish to
change the color, use Red or Green
Jap-a-lac.
WICKER FURNITURE coated with
Mahogany, Ox-Blood Red, Malachite
Green or Gloss White Jap-a-lac, looks
better than new.
WATER PIPES, furnace fronts, radi
ators, hot water tanks and iron fencel
are preserved and beautified with the
use of Jap-a-lac. Use the Gold, Alum
inum, Dead Black or Brilliant Black.
PICTURE FRAMES, candelabra,- gas
fixtures, .lamps, etc., given a coat ot
Gold, Aluminum or Dead Black Jap-a-lac,
are renewed almost beyond, belief;
the Dead Black produces that beauti
ful wrought-iron effect.
OLD AUTOMOBILES, carriages,
wagons, agricultural implements, etc.,
Jap-a-lac-ed with either Brilliant Black,
Red, Green or Empire Blue, look 100
per cent better, and are given new life.
The cost Is nominal, and the work can
be done by an Inexperienced person.
JAP-A-LAC is a household necessity,
and can be used in a hundred and one
ways, from "cellar to garret," and is
especially adapted for finishing old or
new floors and woodwork. Ask your
paiut deealer.
