The President passed the sentinels
only once, as he returned from his
morning game of golf. He smiled as
his automobile swept into the grounds
but took no other notice of his vis

reached the White House family and
hort!y after noon the President gave
the first evidence of having his atten

out with his invitation. There were
no acceptances.

on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure, the
bones 'become diseased; the muscles

Had the wound la his neck been one
eighth of an inch deeper he could not
have lived, according to physicians.
Several poison tablets were found in
Thaw's pocket. '
Thaw was reported resting easily in
a hospital tonight. His physicians said
tonight Thaw probably would recover
fully within a week or two.
Thaw was unconscious when discov
ered by Mrs. Tacot with a blood-stained
razor on the floor beside his bed. He
remained in that condition until his
arrival at the hospital.
Some time later Detective "Wood, as
sured by the hospital physicians that
his condition was not serious enough
to necessitate an ante-mortem state
ment, approached his bedside and re
marked: "You are not going to die, Harry,
but nevertheless there may be some
thing which you may now want to tell
us. Wil you do bo?"
Detectives on Guard.
The patient slowly shook his head.
"I have nothing to say," he said
feebly, and closed his eyes.
Two detectives were placed on guard
at the patient's bedside and Captain
Tate, at detective headquarters, begati
arrangements for his extradition to
New York as soon as his condition will
permit his removal from the hospital.
Captain of Detectives Tate and oth
ers detailed to search for Thaw had
accepted the belief that he had left
the city some time after completing
his testimony in his mother's civil suit
here on Monday. It was generally be
lieved that he had gone by automobile
and was in seclusion in Pittsburg. Re
ports yesterday said he was one of a
motor party staying at an upstate inn.
Detective Tells "Whereabouts.
The first intimation of his presence
in this city came with a message to
the detective bureau from the private
detective assigned to watch Thaw's
interests while here. The detective
bad been informed of Thaw's attempted
suicide by Mrs. Tacot shortly after she
went to call him about 10 o'clock this
morning.
' Failing to get a response, Mrs. Tacot
entered the apartment and found him
lying stretched across ie bed, fully
dressed, his clothes stained by blood
which spurted from two deep gashes
on the left side of his neck and from
a severed artery in his left wrist. His
right arm hung limply at . the side of
the bed and on the floor, within a few
inches of his hand, was the bloody
razor he had borrowed irom Mrs. Tacot.
THAW IN PORTIiAXD IN 1915
Sympathy for "Under Dog Expressed
In Interviews.
Harry Thaw visited Portland Sep
tember 20, 1915, with bis mother and a
sister, Mrs. S. C. Stoaeman, en route to
the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco. They stayed at the Hotel
Portland, which was designed by Stan
ford White, the architect whom Thaw
killed in a New York roof garden nine
years before. The party left the next
day for San Francisco. The pictures
of Thaw published in The Oregonlan
today were taken in Portland at that
lime.
At that time Thaw had Just filed suit
for divorce from his wife. Evelyn Nes-
bit Thaw, and he said he was looking
forward to engaging in some kind of
business. At the time of his visit, be
said, he was enjoying a vacation.
Whiles here he was ready to discuss
his long battle in the courts and he
said he could, with little effort, be
converted to the cause of the Social
ists, so thoroughly did he. sympathize
witn tne unaer dog.
The rich, he said, exert too much In
fluence over the Government, and he
said the poor too frequently are down
trodden and misused. He gave his in
dorsement to the recall of judges and
to forms of so-called popular Govern
ment.
While in Portland Thaw talked with
several persons wno expressed sym
pathy -with him in his long effort to
free himself from the insane asylum at
Matteawan. His version of what he said
was persecution" by the courts was
his lavorite theme.

made in the stock market on advance
information about President "Wilson's
peace note probably will end In the
House tomorrow. Two hours of debate
will precede a vote on the reoort
Democratic members of the rules.
committee voted today over the vigor
ous protest of the Republicans to re
port unfavorably the Wood resolution,
which would provide .specially for an
Miquiry by a special committee into
chargea "made by Thomas W. Lawson
that there was a "leak" in advance of
the peace note.
Other Resolutions Rejected.
The majority also declined to bring
up for a final vote another Wood reso
lution for a general investigation of
"leak" allegations or one by Represent
ative Campbell, of Kansas, designed to
empower a Congressional committee to
inquire into every phase of the rumors.
, Democrats and Republicans disagree
as to the effect of the committee's ac
tion toward the Lawson contempt
charges. Republicans say he 'was ab
solved and that the whole investiga
tion is over. Chairman Henry insists
that the special sub-committee to deal
with Lawson's refusal to answer ques
tions still is in existence and may take
some action.
The opposing members also disagree
as to whether the inquiry is over. Rep
resentative Henry says Representative
W ood has another resolution before
the committee, which has not been
acted upon, whtoh the majority refused
to take up today.
New Version of Leak Given.
A new version of the "leak" to Wall
street on President "Wilson's peace note
was given to the committee today by
James R. Reilly, managing editor of
the Wall Street Journal.
A tip picked up, he said, by a Dow
Jones reporter in Wall street that
brokers' private wires from Washing
ton were saying the President was
about to send a peace note was solely
responsible for the dispatch forecast
ing the note which appeared on the
company's ticker at 2:05 P. M-. Wednes
day. December 20. 10 hours before the
note was puDiisnea.
Between 11:30 A. M., the time Reilly
said he received the tip and the dis
patch of the item on the ticker, Rertly
said he; received two messages from
John Boyle, the Journal's local repre
sentative here.
Two Messages Received.
The first, filed before Boyle had re
ceived Reilly'a inquiry regarding his
reporter's tip, was marked "confiden
tial" and told of the coming of some
sort of a notemd said it was not a
peace proposal.
The second, in reply to Rellly's in
quiry as to whether anything was
available on the reports gleaned from
the brokers' wires, was to the effect
that the reference undoubtedly was
made to the coming note.
"About 11:30." Reilly said, "one of
our reporters told me that Washington
wires to brokerage houses said the
President was preparing to issue a
Ttd manifesto. There had been ru
mors to this same effect abroad in
Waft street for some time. I immedi
ately telegraphed our Washington rep
resentative. I sent mm a

Conspiracy to Discredit Case Against
Bomb Suspect Alleged Counsel
Blames District Attorney.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 11. Charges
that the defense -in the murder trial
of Thomas J. Mooney is heading a con
spiracy to discredit the state's case
against Mooney and others indicted
with him in connection with a bomb ex
plosion here July 22, 1916, which cost

Mr. Fickert declared that tomorrow

ing the sending through the malls of
three pamphlets entitled. "The Frame

Jury panel called in the trial, together
with instructions that full information
should be obtained on the hjstory of
each man. The letter was unsigned.
W. Bourke Cock ran, leading the

charges with the counter-charge that

fice was responsible for sending the
pamphlets and the letter to members
and prospective members of the Jury."

Judge, said unless it were proved a cqn
spiracy to influence Jurors was being
attempted the guilty parties could be
punished only on charges of contempt
of court.
