WITNESS IS GOOD NATURED
Prisoner Often Smiles Triumphant
ly as He Scores Points in His
Battle With New York's
District Attorney.
WHIT-Hi FUIK9. X. T.. July 28.
Hurry K. Thaw's .fata lay In his own
hands today. For six hours he occupied
the witness stand while District Attorney
Jerome delved Into his life history. Thaw
emerged creditably from the ordeal.
Whatever Mr. Jerime and his alienists
may make of the examination, to the
rye and ear of the layman Stanford
White's slayer showed no signs of In
canity today.
Tonight Thaw, the members of his fam
ily and his attorneys and experts were
unanimous In their opinion that he has
proved his fitness to be at large.
But Thaw's ordeal Is not over. He will
remain on the witness stand tomorrow
and perhaps a day longer. The state's
alienists believe If he Is Insane he will
be more likely to betray himself toward
the end. when wearied by Jerome's con
tinued hammering.
Good Nature Prevails.
Neither Thaw nor the District Attorney
displayed anything but the utmost good
nature. Frequently the dialogue resem
bled the chat of friends. Sometimes
Thaw thought he had scored a point and
smiled with the keenest enjoyment. The
smile was always reflected on the face
of his white-haired mother, who sat. InX
court throughout the day with the other
members of the Thaw family.
Jerome strove to establish Thaw's in
sanity, mainly on Thaw's alleged hallu
clnatlons regarding Stanford White's
treatment of young girls. Time and again
he aeJced th witness his opinion of his
mental state. Thaw's replies In substan.ce
"I have always been sane, medically.
When I killed White I may have been
legally insane for a few minutes. I am
sane now.
Declares Experts Wrong.
Thaw explained the evidence of his
alienists at the trial by saying that In
declaring him Insane they had been mis
led. He said he was told the charges
agatast White were untrue, and he in
ferred the charges must be delusions.
Questions that made the witness knit
his brows had to do with his relations
with Evelyn Nesblt before their mar
riage. He declared, however, that he
had treated the girl well on their Euro
pean trip and had repeatedly asked her
to marry him.
Thaw turned to kiss his aged mother
as he strode proudly to the stand. Then
he settled bark In the witness ,chair, and
in a low, but steady voice began his duel
with District Attorney Jerome. His very
first statement created a sensation In the
courtroom.
"I believe." he said, "that in acquitting
me the Jury was lanedy influenced by the
belief that Stanford White deserved his
fate. Another reason I was acquitted."
he continued, "was, I believe, because the
attorneys on both sides told the Jury that
my act was caused by certain delusions."
Jerome Starts Quizzing.
Then District Attorney Jerome began.
"You are a gentleman and an educated
man?" h asked.
The witness nodded.
"Ton believe that a gentleman should
defend his honor?"
"Yes."
'And if you committed an set In the
defense of your honor, would you consider
yourself Justified In committing perjury to
escape the consequences or your actr
"No." replied Thaw, shaking his head
The District Attorney abandoned this
attack and spoke of hypnotism.
"Did you ever take lessons of a hyp
notist?"
"They could hardly be called lessons,
said Thaw, smiling. "I talked with one
four or five times."
"Did you ever think that Stanford
White exerted a hypnotic Influence over
Miss Evelyn Xesblt?"
"From her remarks I thought such a
thing possible. At least, he certainly had
a very strong influence over her."
Speakiiw of Anthony Comstock." Thaw
said half apoiozetically. "since my arrest,
I am afraid I haven't had any Interest tn
his work."
Jerome examined Thaw at length on the
testimony Etven at the trial regarding
Thaw s alleged hallucination that a num
ber of little girls were locked up in the
jail where he was conrined when first ar
rested. "That's r-jt.bish." said Thaw.
"Then, dirt you. dominated by this Idea
of noblesse ohl ge, allow Sir. Littleton
tThaw s attorney) to put this in evi
dence?" "I told h'.m not to. but he Insisted on
using It."
Refers to Merrill Story.
Vp to this point. Thaw had acquitted
himself well and his lawyers, alienists
and relatives exchanged elances of con
gratulation. "Did your wife reproach vou for lash,
lng these women regarding whom Mrs
Merrill testified, and say she could get
a divorce on that ground? And did you

Business Totallv Suspended in
Crows st Region Because of
Threatening Letters.
VICTORIA, B. C July (Special.)
Through the resumption of activities by
the anarchistic Italian element operating
under the mask of the Black Hand,
reign of terror has been inaugurated in
the Crows Xest Colliery district of East
Kootenav. At Xew Michel business is
suspended and the community, fully
armed, goes about in groups, fearful of
sudden assassination.
Five or six leading citixens have re
ceived the regulation warning, among
them Joseph Ferona, proprietor of the
Northern Hotel, and Carlo Salmo, for
whom the town of Salmo is named,
well-known mining operator.
The ' men suspected by the police are
low Italians, lately from Pittsburg, and
a bad lot.
In each of the threatening letters $200
was demanded and places for the deposit
of the money were designated. Several
men were posted at the designated places
and false parcels were placed in the
hiding places by the recipients of the
letters, but no attempt was made by the
Black Hand gang to claim them.
Xot a member of the big colony of
Italian miners is working today. Every
one in the town is armed, and the Ital
ians are out to assist the police in pro
tecting the lives of the threatened men.
Three hundred and fifty Italians held a
meeting yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the situation.

Victory for Spain.
MADRID, July 28. The revolution in
Catalonia has reached a serious stage.
There is much bloodshed. Artillery has
been employed in the streets of Barcelona
to quell the outbreaks. The c ty Is ter
ror-stricken. The revolutionists are re
ported to be fighting desperately behind
barricades. The troops includo mounted
artillery and the defenses of the rebels
have been raked with shot.
King Alfonso hastened back to Madrid
from San Sebastian today and Issued a
decree proclaiming martial law and sus-
perslon of the constitutional guarantees
throughout Spain. Orders have been
given to the Governors of Provinces to
crush the revolution at any cost with
out hesitation and without pity.
Costly Victory at Melllla.
Today marks a black chapter in
Spain's history, for there was tragedy
both at home and abroad. The army
at Melllla had a bloody battle with the
Moors, which, though the victory was
won by the Spaniards, resulted in the
loss of 21 officers and 200 privates
killed and wounded.
An exact estimate of the dead and
wounded in the clashes between the
troops and rebels in Barcelona ia not
possible because of the rigid censorship,
and the Government has not fixed a
total. The Government admits, how
ever, that rioters have been billed and
wounded in several cities, including
Barcelona and Alcoy.
Rioting in Many Cities.
There has been rioting at Ragossa,
Vendrell, Rloja, Fort iau and Llaneon,
and a general stri.ee was declared at
Blscaya. There has been much destruc
tion of property. The center of the re
bellion is Barcelona, whither the gov
ernment is rushing extra troops.
A dispatch tonight said that the Bar
celona revolutionists had been defeat
ed as a result of desperate charges by
the troops. Later fighting started
again, troops using heavy guns to de
molish the barricades. At Barcelona
no life is safe and a proclamation has
been Issued warning peaceful citizens
o remain under cover.

HAVE THEY
Bride-to-Be Afraid of Assassination
and Plans of Regal Match
Are Dropped.
. LISBON, July 28. (Special.) The fall
nre of the proposed marriage of King
Manuel and Princess Alexandra was due
primarily to fear of the prospective bride
that she might be assassinated.
Official announcement that the King
will not wed the daughter of the Duke of
Fife has been followed by details of
match-making plans in which King Ed
ward, grandfather of the Princess, was
active.
An emissary of Manuel, sent to arrange
the marriage, visited King Edward, and
his approval of the match was followed
by a consultation wrth the Princess- and
her parents. Unrest in Portugal and the
assassination of King Manuel's father
and brother were discussed at length.
The Princess expressed her fear that
King Manuel might meet the same fate.
and her own life might be taken if she
were his wife. Her protest was so strong
that the Idea of marriage was dropped.

Senate Boss Finds Good-N'atured

Don't Catch Him Easily.
WASHINGTON', July 28. (Special.)
There is an angry roan in the White
House. The usually good-natured occu
pant has buckled on his armor and wears
a fighting face. He doesn't care whether
Congress finishes its tariff work this
week or some time next Winter. He Is
standing for a good Job.
There was joy among real downward
revisionists this morning when It was
learned that President Taft had smashed
to flinders the conference agreement
reached last evening. This was the re
sult of last nlght'e conference at the
White House between the President and
several prominent Republican members
of the House.
Down With Lumber and Gloves.
Hides were relegated to the "has-been"
class today and gloves and lumber be
came the issues. Last nlghf s conference
determined the President not to stand
for the conference agreement on these
two items. To the earliest White House
callers this morning he declared that
there must be a reduction In lumber from
the Senate 2160 rate, and that the Ding
ley rates on gloves must Btand.
Representatives with home voices ring
ing in their ears -went to the executive
offices in droves and came away in great
glee. Representative Wilson of Chi
cago and Representative Perkins of New
York State were a typical couple. They
heard the President's statement of his
determination to smash a glove compro
mise and to insist on a lower rate on
lumber and congratulated him. They and
others urged him to stand to his guns
and declared that the House would see
he got what he wanted or knock the tar
out of the bill.
Taft Sees Through Bunco Game.
Senator Aldrich, thinking matters had
been all arranged and. that everything
was lovely when he retired to his couch
last night, heard the early morning re
ports and hit the White House trail. He
carried a lot of convincing figures but
they were not convincing to the Presi
dent. The President gave a good imita

of grievance a man Is likely to show
when there is an attempt to bunco him

BUT WAIT.
At Muzzle of Revolver She Relieves
Him of Diamond Stnd and
Orders Him Away.
CHICAGO. July 2S. (Special.) Held up
and robbed at the muzzle of a revolver
by a girl whom he described as young
and pretty, was the experience of Zig
mund Klebber, 38 years old, according to
a story heralded to the police at the
Hudson-avenue station this morning. The
strange nature of the robbery is that it
happened in broad daylight, at 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The woman was about 19 years old, the
victim said, with dark hair and eyes. She
wore a light coat and an automobile veil,
and carried out her work like a profes
sional highwayman. Klebber met her
near the corner of Toll Court and North
Park avenue, when she suddenly pointed
a pistol at his head and ordered him to
give up his money. '
He declared that he had no money', and
she commanded him to deliver up a $60
diamond stud he wore in his shirt front.
Having secured this, she walked away,
warning him that she would shoot if he
attempted to follow.
NOTARIES REAP HARVEST
W age of $ 1 0 0 Day Considered Small
by Men Who Certify Landseekers.
SPOKANE, Wash., April 28. (Spe
cial.) One hundred dollars a day Is t
meager wage to scores of wild-eyed
notaries in the land rush at Spokane
and Coeur d'Alene registering names
of land seekers at 25 cents a head. N.
W. Leeper, a prominent Coeur d'Alene
notary, is said to have made as high
as $350 in a day. According to Deputy
McCarthy at the Spokane land office,
the following seven notaries lead in
registrations:
A. E. Kane, 2458; H. G. Wolking. 1,
978; E. W. Smith, 1390; R. H. Dunn,
1242; M. C. King, 1230; J. O. Bailey. 1,
182; J. B. Blgelow, 1073. Seven notaries
have reported a registration approxi
mating 900, which indicates that the
registration of 65,000 applicants in this
county, up to 5 o'clock last night, was
done for the most part, by less than 20
of the 231 authorized notaries.
ONLY WANTS JUSTICE DONE
Langdon Wants Good Government
Leaguer on Calhoun Jury.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 23. The first
important struggle over the selection of
a Jury in the second trial of Patrick Cal
houn, president of the United Railroads,
occurred during today's session. Carl F.
Haas, a member of the Good Govern
ment League, who was temporarily passed
to a seat in the box yesterday, was at
tacked by attorneys for the defendant,'
and admitted a bias in favor of the pros
ecution which the court deemed suffi
cient basis for allowance of a challenge.
When Judge Lawlor intimated that he
would allow the juror to go upon the
showing made, District Attorney W. H.
Langdon objected, declaring that Mr.
Haas had expressed no more than a com
mendable desire to have Justice done all
the defendants in the graft cases."
FIRE IN APARTMENT HOUSE
Blaze Starts in Excelsior In Base

There was a fire alarm last night
turned in from Twenty-first i and
Flanders streets, caused by a small blaze
in the basement of the Maryland
Apartment house, at Twentieth and
Flanders. Excelsior piled near the fur
nace, caught fire and alarmed the peo
ple of the house. The blaze was put out,
however, before the fire department ar
rived. A narrow escape from fire was ex
perienced last night by the family of
Clarence Broughton, who lives at 439
East Nineteenth street, where a quan
tity of gasolene stored in the rear of
the house, exploded with a loud re
port at about 9:30 o'clock. There was
no damage.

California Scientist Delves Into Op

BERKELEY, Cal., July 28. Follow
ing a series of exhaustive experiments
with the California flea, Professor C.
W. Woodworth, of the University of
California, announced today that al
though the Insect has eyes, it does not
see. To be more exact, the professor
stated that the flea does not see ma
terial objects, but merely sees a varia
tion of rays of lights when near an
object.
There is no formation of images on
the retina -of the eye of a flea," said
Professor Woodworth, "all the insect
sees when it approaches a solid object,
is a varying intensity of light rays."

VICTORIA, B. C, July 28. (Special.)
The situation in Skeena, where 2000 mem
bers of related Indian tribes threaten the
safety of the scattered whites, has been
little If any improved by the investiga
tion conducted by Special Commissioner
Stewart of the Ottawa office of Indian
Affairs, who with Superintendent Vowell
and Chief of Indian Police O'Connell re
turned here today from Hazelton, hoping
that a clash between the reds and the
whites may be averted by diplomatic and
immediate governmental action, but ad
mittedly far from sanguine.
Bloody Hostilities Expected.
Others from the North today emphati
cally assert the Indians only await the
closing of navigation to initiate san
guinary hostilities. These independent
Northerners brought from Hazelton a pe
tition of the white residents of the Skeena

immediate dispatch of a sufficient force
of the mounted police to guarantee their
safety and also to secure the builders
of the Grand Trunk Pacific from Inter
