THEATER
Cemeteries, Prisons and Hospitals
Are Habitat of Widening Circle
of Unfortunates Brilliant
i
: ' Careers Are Blighted.
NEW YORK, July 11. A new name
is added now to the long list of the
victims of the Thaw case a list that
Includes many scores of the frienda and
helpers of Harry K. Thaw, but does not
Include not yet the name of Thaw
himself. Cemeteries, prisons, hospitals
these compose the habitat of the vic
tims' circle.
The new member of that circle Is
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, wife of the slayer
of Stanford White. She has" been some
thins of a victim before, .but pot as at
present. Now she is a nervous wreck,
broken In health, unable to go about
her usual work, and physicians certify
that her life itself would be gravely
endangered should she attempt to do
anything more for her husband.
Thaw himself today looks stronger,
healthier, happier than he has looked
at any time since the night in Madison
Square Garden when he fired the shot
which ever since has been the pivot of
"the Thaw case."
Evil Influence All-Pervading.
Is it really ordained of fate that mis
fortune shall overtake all who touch
the case? Is there a subtle poison in
the Thaw gold? Is there infection in
it? These qustions are asked today
by persons who have kept trace of the
list of the victims.
In at least one Instance the evil in
fluence of the case seems to have been
exerted on "the other side" of the at
torneys' table. Deputy Attorney-General
Kennedy, at last reports, was in
Buffalo trying to recover his health.
There was Dan O'Reilly, one of the
Thaw lawyers. He worked for Thaw
until the latter's commitment to
Matteawan. Later he was counsel for
Thaw's wife. He "went broke." al
though Thaw paid him $30,000. In his
extremity it was said he had received
stolen- goods. He was convicted and
Imprisoned. A little while after his
release he died.
Men Die or Are Disgraced.
Then there was A. Russell Peabody,
said to be a personal favorite of Thaw's
and one of his leading counsel. He
played a prominent part at the first
trial, but within six months after Thaw
nad been locked up in the asylum Pea
body died. The strain had been tre
mendous. Still another of the victims was Clif
ford W. Hartridge. He was a young
lawyer, brilliant, learned, energetic,
enthusiastic. He entered the case, and
his fate was disbarment, disgrace. His
wife died soon after that. She had
gone to Pittsburg to hide, and there
she died under an assumed name and
from an almost incurable disease.
John N. Anhut is anotner lawyer who
touched the Thaw case and suffered.
He, too, was a brilliant young attor
ney. Thaw obtained a meeting with
him and a 125.000 "retainer" was paid.
Then it was learned that Anhut tried
to use the "retainer" to bribe Dr. John
W. Russell, then superintendent of
Matteawan. Anhut was indicted, con
victed and imprisoned.
"LOVE NEST" IS EXPOSED
California Detective Describes Vigil
at Trysting Place.
IXS ANGELES, Cal., July 7. Testi
mony that the loveraaking of William
Tully, formerly of Los Angeles, and
Mrs. Y. Phillips had been witnessed by
a detective hidden in a clump of pines
near the house, featured the Tully
"love nest" trial, which was continued
at San Bernardino. "
Tully is charged with a statutory of
fense. Mrs. Phillips is the woman In the
case.
Both Tully and Mrs. Phillips swore
that their relations had been platonic.
"I watched them making love for
the best part of an hour," testified
the detective. "I was hidden In a clump
of palms near the house."
In answer to a question by the at
torney for the defense the detective
said :
"It wasn't what you would, exactly
call 'platonic'"
Gay parties and dances were" ad
mitted by Tully on the stand.
Tully and Mrs. Phillips were dis
covered by the police in a raid on an
alleged "love nest."
BURGLAR IS PERSISTENT
Village Desperado Robs Homes After
Two Fall-ores.
WHITE PLAINS. N. Y., July 4. After
struggling with women in two homes
In the best residential section of this
place a burglar was, engaged in two
fights with Wilson Fitch Smith, division
engineer of the New York board of
water supply, at his home before day
light. In the first fight Mr. Smith dis
armed the burglar and tore a mask
from his face. In the second struggle
the engineer threw the intruder over
the balustrade of a second-story porch
to the lawn. The man got up and ran.
While that entire section of the vil
lage was highly excited and thechief and
every member of the police force were
seeking the burglar he continued to
enter homes while the police searched,
but at the end of his exciting work his
net proceeds amounted to a gold watch
and a ?1 bill.
WEALTH OF CZAR GREAT
Large Estates Total 120 and Pigs
and Sheep Far in Millions.
In his own right the Czar of all' the
Russias has possessions and Invest
ments probably greater than those of
any other man, remarks the Chicago
Herald. In his name stand the titles
to ninety-eight grand palaces, to mora
than 120 large estates, to churches, con
vents, houses and farms Innumerable.
An army of retainers, managers and
overseers Is on the salary list. There
are more than one hundred thousand
head of horned cattle, some thirty
thousand horses, and pigs and sheep
are counted into millions. He owns
valuable mines In the Ural and many
important industrial establishments.
When it is borne in mind that his
possessions are exempt from taxation
a net revenue of $25,000,000 hardly
would be considered an over-estimate.

MAZAMAS IN CAMP
Oregon Party Near Timber
Line on Mount Shasta.
ALL ARE IN GOOD SPIRITS
Headquarters Named for J. Ii. Bro-

Some of Members Go to
Crater Lake Park.
SISSON, Cal, July 11. (Special.)
The Mazamas. who left Portland Sat
urday to climb Mount Shasta, are now
encamped near timber line, eight miles
from here, on the southwestern slope
of the mountain, at an elevation of
7600 feet.
The good spirits of the party hardly
surpassed the good humor of the crowd
that went to the Portland station to
bid them good-bye. Other ardent
mountaineers Joined the party at Salem
and Eugene, and all were up early to
day to catch the first glimpse of the
Cow Creek Canyon and the famous
Rogue River Valley, and were reward
ed by a clear view of Mount Pitt.
The party made a short stop at
Grants Pass and Medford. where eight
of -the members left the train to pass
through Crater Lake National Park,
and will later Join their companions at
Camp Bronaugh, the official name of
the Mazama camp at Mount Shasta,
so called in honor of J. E. Bronaugh,
president of the Mazamas.
After breakfast at Ashland the party
began the ascent of the rugged Siski
you Mountains. As the train crossed
the summit and began the descend, the
rugged outline of Mount Shasta burst
into view. From this point to Sisson.
Mount Shasta, completely mantled with
snow and a dainty cloud cap partly en
circling the summit, was the dominat
ing feature in the landscape.
The party reached Sisson shortly
after noon and the Mazamas detrained
and joyously formed in line and began
the tramp to the main camp. They
are now looking forward to the first
camp dinner which the loyal Mazama.
Chef Weston, and his corps have pre
pared and waiting for them.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 11. Complaint so wide
spread has been voiced regarding the
seamen's act. and so general a demand
has bern made tor the repeal or modi
fication ot the law. that the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States has
decided to take a referendum vote to
ascertain how the u0 commercial
bodies throughout the United States
stand on this Issue.
If this referendum discloses a strong
sentiment Kalmt the law as It stands,
the Chamber ot Commerce or the Called
States will use Its Influence at the next
session to have the law repealed or
modified In accordance with the views
disclosed. No organisation In the
United Statea represents to so great an
extent the real business Interests or
business men or the Nation. Starting
without prejudice, the Federal Cham
ber will be bound by the result.
Loral Referrsiui Here inssee.
Local chambers will have 4& daya in
which to cast their votes, which can be
done either at a meeting of the cham
ber Itself or by the use of referendum
system. This latter method Is recom
mended, for by that meana each mem
ber has opportunity to record his
views, and the vote ts the more repre
sentative. However, the means or as
certaining the sentiment of local cham
bers Is not to be directed from Wssh
Incton, Each chamber will proceed to
record Its views In the manner It may
see fit.
A statement Issued by the Federal
Chamber says:
"With discussion of the seamen's act
now being extended to business men. of
the country those who opposed the
passaga or the act are renewing the
contention that the legislation will
nullify every effort which Is being
made to build up an American merchant
marine. As a result of the passatce of
the legislation, several high officials
of lines of ships firing the American
flag have been quoted as saying their
ships will be withdrawn from registry
under our flag.
"Some time ago the Attorney-General
was called upon to gv his opinion re
garding the date at which the section
of the seamen's act which prescribes
the equipment and crew required for
life-saving becomes effective. The
manner In which this section of the
new law la expressed has given rise to
another difficulty, which has been re
ferred to the Attorney-General.

Chaagea Ordered fey Law.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 11 Not In years baa the
Postofllce Department ordered such
wholesale reductions In salaries of
Presidential postmasters ' as were or
dered this year, effective on July 1.
These reductions were based on the
receplts of the offices, as provided by
law. The law fixes the gradation of
salaries, based entirely upon postoffice
receipts, and requires a readjustment
once a year.
In some states nearly half the offices
where regradlng took place were re
duced: In Oregon more than one-third
of the change were reductions. In
Washington nearly one-half were re
ductions. In Idsho the reductions con
stituted only one-fifth.
The fact, however, that a majority of
the changes were promotions Indicates
that In a large percentage of the big
offices postal business has been on the
Increase. Portland, for example. Is a
maximum ortlce. the postmaster receiv
ing 1400U a year. lie will never get
more until Congress, by special act,
authorises a further Increase. The
same Is true of Sesttle.
Slowing down of business In many
communities Is mainly responsible for
the falling off In postal receipts. In
mining towns many reductions were
ordered, and the same wss true In nu
merous towns In the lumber or logging
count ry.
