TELLS OF SNAKE EPISODE In Order to Refute Statements of His Wife, Thaw Goes Into De tails of Iire Before the Day of White's Murder. NEW YORK. July B. (Special.) Harry K. Thaw, who is fighting to be liberated from the State Asylum for Criminal In nane, today, for the first time, discussed for publication the events leading up to his shooting of Stanford White. He did this because of statements made lately by his wife. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who has turned against him. One declaration by her was that "Thaw stole me from White at the point of a gun and kept me for three years." She said Thaw hated White through Jealousy. Thaw replies that he never carried a pistol until long arier r.vei n had become his companion, and then only becauce he heard White threatened to have him killed. He says he had no Jealousy of White, but that Evelyn feared Whit ar.d the very sight of him made er 111. White Terrified Evelyn. He tlls of an incident at Mart.n"s res taurant on the night of June S. 1P0. when Truxten Beale and Thomas Mc--leb were dining with Evelyn and htm elf. She happened to see White, and im mediately looked terrified, shivering and seemed to be stck. Thaw say he was not Jealous of Jack Harrymore. "Mr. Barrymore- was young then, and decent, and proposed marriage," aald Thaw. As to his use of a pistol. Thaw re marked: "No one hae more contempt for a man that carries a pistol than I had and now have. I was ashamed to carry a pistol, even though it aeemed necessary, after I had got repo.-ts about a plot on my life from the Pinkertons I had em ployed, and after I had been advised by Roger O'Mara. Tells Snake Story. When Evelyn and I went to Yosemlto Valley I carried no pistol, although I knew bandits had previously held up the etage upon which we. rode. When Evelyn on that ride saw a rattlesnake with five rattlera I have kept these rattles. I had to please her by Jumping down and killing It. , "I attacked It wirh my umbrella. I would not have used that weapon If I had a pistol. She got down. too. and went up to the snake rather recklessly and hit it with a stone. I iinlshed It with another stone she handed me." JEROME WILL CROSS-EXAMIXE Ootham's Prosecutor to Probe Thaw's Mental State. . pnrOHKEEPSIE. N Y-. July 23. It practically has been decided that Dis trict Attorney Jerome, of New York vunty. will conduct the cross-examination of Harry K. Thaw when he takes the stand in his insanity hearing. TAFT WITH INSURGENTS (Continued from P 1) puted points were before them for set tlement, brought about a condition that augurs well for an early agreement. Mr. Tn-ft was able to get a better insight Into the obstacles to a "free raw material" plan by his conference with the two leaders than was possible In as large a gathering as that at the dinner last night. No Hope of Free Raw Material. Mr. Aldrich met a large number of penators who are oposed to free hides, free coal and free iron ore. and no en couragement was offered for placing these articles on the free list. In fact, were It possible to get these Senators to yield, the situation In the House would have to be dealt with. The House tariff insurgents who oppose free raw materials adopted resolutions protesting against the plan. Representative Dwlght. the Repub lican whip. Informed .Mr. Aldrich that the antl-ftee raw material sentiment in the House required serious considera tion, and that Its strength had grown to 45 members. The advocates of dutiable hides in both houses declared a compromise pos sible, hut that they cannot consider placing hides on the free list. Coal. Iron Ore, Oil. With regard to the free reciprocity provision on coal In the House bill there was also a firm stand. The mem bers Interested in coal declared such a provision would make the situation with regard to operatives untenable, and that a reduction In the Senate rate without a clause for reciprocal free trade was more acceptable. That a nominal duty on Iron ore will e fixed by the conferees was the indi cation tonight. The opinion is ex pressed that the rate will place the domestic and imported ores on an equal footing at the Atlantic seaboard. Rep resentative fayne ts Insisting on free ore. It Is more than likely that the con ference report will place petroleum on the free list without a countervailing duty. Th House "Insurgens" have In dicated their willingness to concede free oil if the other raw materials are made dutiable. . Oeneral discussion of th Custom Court and corporation tax provisions, j ana oi tne aunea i'u buuu,, gloves and hosiery took up the time of the conferees at the morning session. It was decided that the headquarters of the Customs Court of Appeals shall be located In Washington. Loer Rates on Cotton Goods. Ceneral Sharretta and Myron De Vrles. of the Board of Appraisers, and W. H Parkhill. an examiner In the New York Customs-house, explained to the House conferees the purpose of the Senate changes In the cotton schedule and their probable effects. They point ed out that the specific rates would not exceed the rates that It had been the Intention of the Plngley law to collect, but that in operation several of the nate rates would be lower than those of the Huuse. The entire time of the House conferees was taken up In dis cussing the cotton schedule. Leather Men May Come Down. The President told five Western Con i a ressmen. among others, that he did not 1 wish it to be said that he was making txV tffit mix lot ires -raw matarlaia, H emphasized the fact that he stood on the Republican platform adopted at Chicago last year. This platform, he said, called for downward revision. They told the President that, while they stood with him for downward revision, they could not accept the plan of mak,ing hides free and putting a high duty on the finished products of hides. The President then made the Important statement that he waa receiving from tanners and leather manufacturers en couragement toward a reduction of the duty on the finished products, and the understanding of the visitors was that in a few days the President would be able to present to the conferees a prac tical agreement from the great leather interests of tne country for a suitable re duction. Tart Will Win Nearly Everything. The President, as a result of the stand he has taken in the conference considera tion of the tariff bill, will win nearly all of the wishes he has expressed, and while he has declined to discuss "compromise" with any of his callers, it is quite likely the concessions which the conferees will make will prove satisfactory to the Chief Executive. The President laughingly said the tariff promised to be an "all-Summer" Job. An effort was made at last night's dinner to have the President agree to a two years" limitation of the corporation tax. He declined to do so. Senator Cummins, of Iowa, who is a leader among the "progressive" Senators, todav took breakfast with the President and spent two hours with him in discus sion of the tariff situation. They pent over the entire ground, and it is under stood found themselves to be much in ac cord. Mr. Cummins spoke for the coterie of Senators who voted against the Payne Aldrlch bill as it passed the Senate. He assured the President of the continued adherence of those Senators to the policy of a- lower tarilT. and was told in return that the President was losing no oppor tunity to impress the wisdom of such a course upon Senators and members of the House.

Two penalizations of Glldden tourists have resulted from today's run of 202.2 miles from Council Bluffs here, although the committee has not yet announced the number of points each lost. A Chambers-Detroit tonneau car en tered for the Detroit trophy was penal ized for work on the commutator and a Jewel car for replacing a spark plug. Gus Buse's Thomas Flyer was caught in a mudhole near Columbus, Neb., and remained there 40 minutes, until pulled out by a truck. Secretary Ferguson of the A. A. A. contest board, who was badly injured Tuesday by being thrown from his car against a barbwlre fence, went to Den ver by train tonight, his wounds not showing the Improvement hoped for. Tomorrow's route takes the tourists to Julesburg. 206.2 miles. Mr. Glidden said today: "This tour is the most wonderful in the history of automobiling. If plans now under consideration are carried out. next year's run will be from San Francisco to New York. b.t the follow ing year we will make a tour of Eng land. This tour will go to the Rocky Mountains. That this could be done has long been doubted." BRIAND CHOSEN PREMIER (Continued from Pajr 1.) enceau was not afraid to repress revo lutionary tendencies. The Conserva tives, however, believe that the Briand cabinet would be short lived. Author of Church Separation. Arlstide Briand Is 47 -years of age. A few years ago he was hardly known, except among the members of his own party, the Revolutionary Socialists. He was appointed reporter of the church and state separation bill and soon be came recognised as an authority on the subject. He aimed to draw up a bill broadly liberal in spirit, but devoid of fanaticism, and designed to assure freedom of worship and of conscience. The result waa his elevation to the post of Minister of Public Instruction and Worship in 1906. Clemanceaa Told Truth. Despite the storm of Indignation Tented on M. Clemenceau for his re marks to M. Delcasse, even the Min ister's worst enemies adnr.i: that he told the truth, as It has long been an open secret that M. Delcasse. relying on the friendship of England, wanted to risk a war with Germany when he was Foreign Minister In 1905, but the revelations then made, showing the un preparedness of the French army and navy, compelled the government to yield to the German threat, dismiss M.

ACUTE DISEASES LEAVE THE BLOOD THIN AND WEAK ASKED SIGNED STATEMENT After Firing Shot, Woman Tries to Get Mother to Declare Revolver Was Discharged by Accident, but Fails In Her Purpose. CHICAGO. July 22. Mrs. Marian May field was arrested tonight, charged with attempting to kill her mother. Mrs. Ger trude Hinkley. a wealthy widow. The latter is suffering from a bullet wound In the neck. Both women at first insisted that the shooting was accidental, but later the mother told the details of the affair, which occurred yesterday, and only came to the attention of the police today. Mrs. Hinkley's story Is as follows: "Some time ago I gave my daughter $3500 to Invest in silver mines at Mapiml, Mexico, in which her husband is inter ested. Wednesday morning she asked me to place 500 more in the mine. I refused to do so. "By her side I had noticed a small grip. Without warning, she leaned over to one side and placed her hand on the grip. I heard something click. I started into the hall when I heard her say: " 'There are five in here, and If you don't give me the money you shall have them all!" "I couldn't move. I waited a moment and she .fired. The ball entered my neck. I waited, fearing she would fire again. Instead, she came to me. I did not fall. She led me back into the room. Then she showed me a piece of note paper. "I read it. My daughter then came to me and. taking me by the hands, asked me to sign the paper. The pen and ink were there ready. I did not know what to do. The paper was a statement that the shooting was accidental; that I had dropped the pistol and that it had ex ploded. I did not sign it. Sometimes I wish I had done so, then maybe this hor rible thing would never have become known." JEFF MEETS JOHNSON NOT COLORED CHAMPION, BUT GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA. Ready to Flfrht Either Johnson, White or Black, bnt Not In Minnesota State. ST. PAUL. July 22. James J. Jeffries and his sparring partner. Sam Berger, called on Governor Johnson and were given a cordial reception. The big fighter told the Governor that he was ready at any time to defend his title as champion. "Tou look fit to go in right now and kill almost anybody," remarked Governor Johnson. "You look a man who could take care of himself all right," said Berger to the Governor. "I should think I could." the Governor rejoined. "1 would be willing to put up $1,000,000 on the table here and go into the next room with Mr. Jeffries and let the one who comes out have the $1,000,000." Jeffries laughed. "You might argue me out of it," he said. "I am not so sure about that, either." Jeffries told the Governor he weighed 235 and he bad fought before at 216, but weight did not bother blm at all and he was in fine shape. "You are going to defend your title, then?" "Oh, yes," Jeff replied. "I am going to fight again. I was glad to get out of the ring and did not want to get back, but I am back now and will fight Johnson." One of the party suggested that the Jeffries-Johnson fight ought to come off in Minneapolis. Governor Johnson said: "No, I'll have to draw the line there. You cant' fight In Minnesota."

The bullet lodged in the rlsht thigh of the lad. who dropped to The Tonic Treatment Which Cured This Hartford Man Is Showing Remarkable Results in Such Cases. When the body becomes ran down, either as a result of overwork, worry or a severe illness, an examination of tha blood would show it to be weak and watery. This condition is called anae mic, which is the medical term for "bloodless." The common symptoms are paleness of the lips, gums and cheeks, shortness of breath and palpitation of the heart after the slightest exertion, dull eves and loss of appetite. Anaemia itself "is a dangerous disease and it may gradually pass into consumption. It must be cured by treating its cause, whioh is the poor condition of the blood. The vital fluid must be made strong and healthy thereby enabling it to carry the necessary nourishment to every tissue of the body. Dr. Williams Pink Pills are the greatest builder of rich, new blood and they have beenouring anaemia and other blood diseases for nearly a generation. L during whioh time they have come to be recognizea as an invaiuaDie nousenoiu remedy. The statement of Mr. F. L. Prickett, of No. 71 Asylum street, Hart ford, Conn., shows how these pills cure cases that stubbornly resist ordinary methods of treatment. He says: , "A few years ago after an attack cf pneumonia, I was greatly run down : nd did not regain my strength with the help of the doctor's medicine. I was short of breath' and my heart pained me upon any exertion. I had cons tart, throbbing headaches and was so nervou that I could not sleep well. What little sleep I did get did not refresh me. I had no life or energy. "I had read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and decided to try them. A few boxes helped me and in a short time I was entirely restored to health. Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills are a good tonic and I can heartily recommend them." A booklet, "Diseases of the Blood," showing what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accomplished in many severe dis orders will be sent free on request.

When the sentryman's back was turned, he made a break for liberty. Young Febiger rec ognized the fleeing prisoner and started In pursuit. Langdon raised his gun and fired. Just as Febiger crossed the path of the bullet intended for the fleeing prisoner. Owing to the fact that the bullet was from a special shell for sentry duty, the wourd is light. A squad of privates are scouring the city and vicinity of the fort in the en deavor to capture Patterson before he escapes from the city. VISITORS WITNESS RAID Officer Catches Gamblers While Guiding Party In Chinatown. Asleep at his post, a "lookout" at a Chinese gambling den at 93 Second street was the cause of that resort being suc cessfully raided last night before mid night by Patrolman Small. The officer had been accosted by a small party of strangers, with the request that he guide them through Chinatown. He had shown the sightseers one or two places, when he passed the entrance to the gambling house. "This place used to be a gambling den," said the officer, "and if you like I will take you inside." With that Small tried the door and, finding it locked, peered through a small peephole and saw a lookout sound asleep. He rapped sharply on the door, the Celes tial sprang up and, no doubt, thinking that it was some of his own countrymen, opened it. The officer rushed Inside, making three arrests and seizing $169 which was found on the gaming table, utl.
