THE' CONTRADICTS
EVELYN'S STORIES
Declares He Was Not Jealous
of White and Was Ashamed
to Carry Revolver.
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."

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.

Car Goes In Ditch.
KEARNEY, Neb., July 22. 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.

"This tour is the most wonderful in

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.
Delcasse and take the Moroccan dis
pute to th.e Aleclx& conference

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 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.
These pills are sold by all druggists,
or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of
price, 60 cents per box; six boxes for

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,

turned home from Seattle Wednesday
night, after an attack of Illness extend
ing over several days, and is reported
to be improving steadily. According to
the family, the reports of his condition
given out in Seattle were somewhat ex

trouble, from which he has been a suf
