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.

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.

cial.) Satisfaction with the progress

ette and W. A. Long, the other mem
bers, inspected the line yesterday.

RAZOR PLANT PROPOSED
J. CANBY MORGAN, OF NEW YORK,
IN PORTLAND AFTER 10 YEARS.
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.
With two large stones in the coat
pockets, the body of James Nickleson,
a bartender from Sacramento, was
found floatini- in the river near The
Oaks last night. Nickelson was about
45 years old.
Harbor Patrolmen Prehn and Todd
brought the body to Portland, wherfl
they turned it over to Deputy Coroner
Smith. Mr. Smith said that Nickleson
lived at the Hotel Rey until June 12.
