Washington and West Park Washington and West Park THAWSNEWFRIENDS DECLARE-HIM SANE Prosecution, However, Brings Out Fact Murder Topic Was Never Mentioned. MONOMANIA IS ALLEGED Hay Paved to Take Testimony of President-Emeritus of Harvard on Prisoner's Expulsion From Harvard in 18 9C. KEW YORK, June 24. Harry K. Thaw, sitting beside his lawyers at the Jury trial to test his sanity, today heard 16 more witnesses nearly all of them friends he made during his sojourn in Canada and New Hamp shire testify that they believed he was a rational man. One was a physician, who had at tended to his sprained ankle; another had sold him an automobile, another had rone fishing' with him. another ramping, one was the Sheriff who was his custodian in New Hampshire for 18 months; one was an Alderman of (Sherwood, Quebec who said he thought so much of him that he had invited him to settle down there as one of the city's business men. All declared that Thaw conducted himself like a gentleman, had no delusions and wa,s rational, bpth in speech and actions. Murder Topic Never Broached. Thaw, turning frequently to news papermen who sat near him, gave evi dence of his satisfaction at the mass of evidence in his favor that his coun sel was presenting to the jury. The attorneys for the state, however, never failed in cross-examination to ask each witness whether Thaw had at any time discussed women with them or any other of the circumstances that led to the murder of Stanford White. None would say that these topics were brought up, whereupon the state's ex aminers would make the point that a paranoiac euch as Thaw is alleged to be might converse rationally except when his one delusion was mentioned. Thaw was especially pleased with the testimony of Sheriff Holman A. Drew, of Coos County, New Hampshire, who arrested Thaw and was his custodian ior 16 months. "Drew," said Thaw to his newspaper acquaintances,, "is our most important witness. He knows more about my eanity than anybody else, in New Hampshire. He was with me every day." Dr. Eliot's Testimony Desired. In preparation for the state's case. Deputy Attorney-General Cook applied to Justice Hendrick today for an or der to have a commission take the tes timony of Dr. Charles W. Eliot, pres ident emeritus of Harvard, as to why Thaw was expelled from that institu tion in 1892. He said that the Justice would grant the order tomorrow. Thaw, when he heard of the applica tion, immediately wrote out a state ment, which he handed to newspaper men. "This commission matter." it read, "simply shows that Cook is waving the white flag preparatory to surrender. He has not been able to get anything new tliat dates within the past 20 years." He i starting on a fishing expedition. That's all it amounts to. "It is absolutely untrue that Dr. Eliot called me to his office at mid-day or noon and asked me to leave the uni versity at 3 P. JL What occurred, I prefer not to say. I prefer to leave It to Dr. Eliot. I am quite willing to accept his statement and content my self with pointing out that Mr. Cook shows in this course that "he is not interested chiefly In the question of my present sanity." ' Visions of South Recalled by Melodies at Heilig. Hampton Institute Negro Singers Captivate - Capacity House, With Plantation Folic Songs and Enter taining. Pictures. BY LEONE CASS BAER. IF YOU'VE ever lived In the South land and heard the darkles singing in the cotton field as they trailed slowly along between the rows of cotton, or if you've heard their voices blending in beautiful, natural, unstudied harmony, floating out from their evening gather ings, before their little old ramshackle cabins, or in their plain churches or at their revivals or sociables, then you'll be glad to go to the Heiltg sometime before this week ends and hear a quar tet of negro singers whose music brings all the Southland melodies ol the South land negro home to us. "De ole ark am a-moverin' along," "Nobody knows de trubble I've seen," "My Lord, what a mornin' when de stars begin to fall," "Swing low, sweet char lot." "Juba" and "Roll, Jordan, roll," words and weird melody come back with these singers, four negroes from the Hampion Institute, who are on their way to fill a two months' engagement at the Panama-Pacific Exposition. Scattered in between the plantation songs is a story told in motion pictures or the lite at Hampton Institute. The moneys from this tour go to help change the so-called Negro problem Into a working programme. William S. Dodd tells entertainingly of the pic tures. A capacity house was delighted with the programme. Tonight and tomorrow night and at a matinee tomorrow afternoon the singers will again appear.

Three men attempted to break into a garage at 429 Belmont street last night, but were frightened away by F. Klatt, 427 Belmont street, after they had" broken the - lock. Nothing was taken.

Black cash ier. - . - Plaintiff in Suit Asserts Right to Participate in Tem ple's Secret Rites. LETTERS READ IN COURT Woman Who Seeks Share of Late Millionaire's Estate for Son Said to Have Made Direct Appeal for Funds. OGDEN, Utah, June 24. Mrs. Mar garet Geddes, testifying today in the suit to obtain for her son,. Albert Geddes. Eccles, a portion of the estate of the late millionaire beet sugar mag nate, David Eccles. was cross-examined as to her standing In the Mormon Church.. Mrs. Geddes asserted she was still a faithful member of the church and was qualified to take part in the secret rites performed in the Mormon Temple, In which only those in good standing are allowed to participate. Letters purporting to have been writ- ten by Mrs. Geddes to David Eccles after her alleged plural "union for time only" were introduced by the defense, but not placed in evidence at first be cause Mrs. Geddes could not or would not Identify them. Church Dignitaries Waiting. As there is no intimation when Mrs. Geddes will complete her period on the stand, it Is not known just when Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mor mon Church: United States Senator Smoot; apostle; George F. Gibbs, secre tary to the first presidency of the Mor mon Church, and other prominent church dignitaries will be called to testify. With the exception of Secre tary Gibbs, all of these have' been summoned by the Eccles estate. The questions pertaining to Mrs. Geddes' standing in the Mormon Church resulted from an effort to bring out that her relations with David Eccles were not countenanced by church of ficials. Temple Avoided Voluntarily. She admitted she had done no Mor mon Temple work for the past 18 months, but it was only because she did not want to, she declared. The first of more than 50 letters al leged to have been written by Mrs. Geddes to the late financier since 1895 were read at the afternoon session. The first purported to be a request for $200. It was signed with the initials. "M. F. G." Another letter, this one addressed to David C. Eccles, son of the late mil lionaire and administrator of the es tate, was written after the death of Mr. Eccles. It was an inquiry as to whether stock placed in Mr. Eccles' hands 18 years before still stood in Mrs. Geddes' name. WATER PROJECT VISITED Oregon City Commission Pleased by Progress on Line.

Site Sought for Factory to Employ 10O Men With Object of Developing Trade in Orient. To look over Portland as a prospec tive site lor a factorv which he rjro- 'poses to establish in the West, J. Canby Morgan, president of the Morgan Razor Company, New York, returned to Port land several days ago for his first visit in ten years and the second one in 18 years. Mr. Morgan, who is the son of E. N. Morgan, prominent Indian War veteran, was at one time an active member of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, and as such won medals for bowling, bicycle riding, foot racing and kindred sports. He was one of the sharpshooters of Company H, Oregon National Guard, and Is widely known in Portland and vicinity. Mr. Morgan has just come from Los Angeles and San Francisco, where he looked over sites for a factory which he proposes to erect on the Pacific Coast to build up and handle trade with the Orient and South American countries. Inasmuch as Portland is his native city, he is strongly inclined to locate here. "I cannot see that the California cit ies have any advantage over Portland for my purposes, and If I can select a suitable site here I shall probably lo cate the factory here," said Mr. Mor gan yesterday. "Our idea is to build up a branch factory here that will de velop and handle a large trade that Is looming up with the Orient and the South American countries. It Is prob lematical how large a plan the factory would be built on, but it might assume the proportions of a good-sized plant, capable of employing 100 or more men. It would depend on conditions, or course, but we have decided to build in the West." Mr. Morgan left Portland in 1S97- for the Klondike country, in which hp passed several years, making ' and spending two fairly good-sized for tunes and making a third, with which he engaged in business. He made a brief visit to Portland during tho Lewis and Clark Exposition. Body Is Found in River.
