WHITE LIVED IN
OFT
Detective Was With Architect
as Bodyguard During Year
Before the Shooting.
HIS MOVEMENTS WATCHED
Victim Protested That He Had Only
a Fatherly Interest In Actress
Evelyn Xesblt After Her
Marriage to Pittsburger.
NEW YORK, June 30. "Mrs. Thaw will
'be the principal witness In her husband's
defense. She will tell a thrilling and start
ling story. I cannot make the details
public now, but her testimony will open
the eyes of New Yorkers and people all
over the world."
This statement was made today by ex
Judge Olcott, of counsel for Harry K.
Thaw.
Some interesting side lights were thrown
on the Thaw-White tragedy by a private
detective, who declared that he was em
ployed by White as a bodyguard for more
than a year before the shooting. In ex
tracts from his diary the detective says
that White undoubtedly feared for his
life; that he took minute precautions to
guard against a surprise; that equally in
genious plans were made by a corps of
detectives employed by Thaw to keep
track of White's movements, and that on
the day that White was shot he had de
cided to apply to the authorities to pre
vent the continuance of the espionage to
which he had been subjected.
According to the detective, White paid
over $6000 between February 14. 1905, and
the day of his death in the protection of
his person, and for the shadowing of the
detectives who were pursuing him. The
detective thus describes a meeting between
White and himself, when he told the
architect that Thaw wa3 the employer of
the detectives who were annoying White.
According to the statement. White said:
"This man Thaw is crazy. He imagines
that I have done him some wrong. I jsed
to know hie wife. I befriended her and
her family. Thaw is insanely jealous of
his wife. He doubtless imagines that I
am meeting her, and, before God, I am
not. My friendship for the girl was taken
from a purely fatherly interest, and since
her marriage she has repaid my kindness
by annoying me greatly by making re
marks to mutual acquaintances. Such re
marks are intended to arouse the Jeal
ousy of her husband. I cannot understand
It. I never in my life Injured man or
woman."
According to the diary. June 25 White
snid he had decided It was time to close
up the matter. While said he was a ner
vous wreck, and that on the following
day, Tuesday, he was going to tako final
action in the courts. That night he was
shot.
MRS. THAW PAYS A LONG VISIT
Wife of Millionaire Is Taking Ac
live Part in securing Evidence.
NEW YORK, June SO. Mrs. Thaw
paid a visit to her husband today and
remained with him for over an hour
and a half the longest visit she has
yet paid to the Tombs to see the mil
lionaire. The prisoner is still in a
nervous state, but was much cheered
by the visit of ills wife.
Mrs. Thaw obtained a special pass
from tho Department of Charities and
Corrections to visit Harry Thaw. She
had intended spending Sunday out of
town, but on account of Thaw's nerv
ous condition she altered her plans.
Thaw's name has been placed on the
list of prisoners in the Tombs, charged
with homicide, which Is hung- in the
prison office and can be seen by the
public. Thaw Is No. 2:1 on tho list.
Today Hilda Mrs. Traw not only a
willing witness for her husband, but
nn active assistant for his attorneys.
She assumed the roles of Informant and
inquisitor, securing the evidence of
many young women who knew Stan
ford White, and aiding her attorneys
questioning others.
Truxton Beale. wtao was with White at
the dinner which preceded the shooting,
has not appeared as yet. and is believed
to be in Washington. His evidence la
wanted to follow that of Thomas McCa
leb. who dined with the Thaws Monday
night, and who appeared before the act
ing District Attorney yesterday.
McCaleb was at the roof garden with
Thaw at the time of the shooting. From
what could be learned, MeCaleb's story
Is Interesting In showing that Mra Thaw
and he started to leave the roof garden
before the shooting, and were on their
way out when they heard the shots. Mc
Caleb is said to have sworn that when
the shots were heard Mrs. Thaw snatched
him by the arm and made this remark:
"My God. He-has shot him."
Just what reason McCaleb gave for their
starting to leave before the shooting could
not be learned. He said that he had gone
to dinner with them at the Cafe Martin,
described how they sat at the table, and
where White sat. The seat that White
took was one facing Mrs. Thaw. McCaleb
said that White's name, however, was not
mentioned at the dinner, and he did not
pee any note passed between Thaw and
his wife during the dinner. When they
got to the roof garden he sat down with
Mrs. Thaw. Thaw after a while got out
of his seat and left them. His statement
covered many important points, it is said,
but every effort Is being made to keep all
evidence quiet until the trial.
MARRIAGE WAS A COMPROMISE
Thaw Blamed White for the Suit
Brought by Evelyn Nesbit.
NEW YORK. June 30. (Special.) The
Herald says that so far as the evidence
discloses, the secret of ThaWs hatred for
White was a suit started against him by
Evelyn Nesbit, prior to her marriage to
Thaw. In this action she made an extra
ordinary .affidavit, the document giving
details of such a nature that there was
no probability he would permit it to go
on record if he had it in his power to
suppress it by making payment, even
though he might believe he was being
blackmailed.
Whatever Thaw may have thought at
the time, he could not afford to have
the matter .fcecome public, and he com
promised. He declared the case was an
effort to extort money, but he paid and
then he made Evelyn Nesbit his bride.
Thaw had reason to believe that Stan
ford White had not only been consulted
about the proceeding, but had a hand in
Its inception and knew every word that
had been written, if he had not actually
dictated the humiliating passages of the
affldavidt.
Mixed in Lederer Divorce Suit.
NEW YORK. June 10. (Special.) In
discussing the part that Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw played in the roof garden tragedy,
the fact that this is not the first time the
TERROR
HAW
former chorus girl came Into unpleasant
notoriety is often commented upon. In
the divorce suit brought by the second
Mrs. George W. Lederer, formerly Adele
Rice, which is still in the courts, Evelyn
Nesbit was mentioned in the complaint
which was drawn by the plaintiff.
At that time Miss Nesbit was frequent
ly in the company of the theatrical man
ager, who had given her a part "with
lines" in "The Wild Rose." It has been
said that Lederer met the girl through
the interest taken in her by Stanford
White, but this is said to be incorrect.
Those who recall the circumstances say
that both Mrs. Nesbit and her daughter
were well acquainted with Lederer, and
that he had introduced the girl, then 15
years old, to the architect, who from the
first evinced more than a passing inter
est in her.
FAT MAN HERD OE DUEL
LONG WALK TO BATTLEFIELD EX
HAUSTS MONSIEUR ROUSSET.
When Sword Are Crossed the Doctors
Interfere and AH Honor Is
Declared Satisfied.
(Special Cable to the Central News and The
Oregonian.)
PARIS. June 30. The latest duel
fought has been brought to a happy
end. While there was no actual nght
ing the duel was declared fought and
honor satisfied. Monsieur d'Ecole and
Monsieur Rousset had a dispute on a
personal matter and decided to settle
It by a duel. The encounter took place
at the Grande Roue, but no blood was
shed.
M. Rousset happens to be an enor
mously stout man. He couldn't button
his own boots if he were given $1,000.
000 a button. The duellists and their
friends had to make their way for half
a mile through the forest from the
carriages before the convenient glade
was reached. It was unusual exercise
for the fat man. When he had stripped
to his shirt sleeves he was so fatigued
he could hardly hold the rapier. Per
spiration streamed off his face and
neck.
As the opponents crossed swords and
were about to begin fighting the doc
tors suddenly called a halt. They ex
amined M. Rousset and then gave their
verdict that he was much too fatigued
to continue. Any further exertion
such as a duel would entail might be
fatal. M. d'Ecole cheerfully agreed
and immediately shook hands. As the
rapiers had been actu illy crossed the
duel was stated to ha- e been "fought."
At the subsequent banquet M. Rousset
was the hero of the occasion.
CAPITAL, STOCK WAS SPEXT
Inventor of Bullet-Proof Cuirass
Charged With Fraud.
MILAN, June 30. (Special.) The trial
of Signor Beneditti, the inventor of a
bullet-proof cuirass, on charges of fraud
In connection with the organization of a
company to manufacture his cuirass and
with obtaining money from the Milanese
Bank on the strength of an order from
the Russian Government for his goods,
will begin here on Tuesday and is ex
pected to be of a sensational nature.
The Russian government, after testing
Boneditti's device, gave him an order for
100.000 of the cuirasses. He secured sev
eral advances from the bank for the pur
pose of manufacturing his device. With
the assistance of an accomplice named
Mazznnt. he organized a company to man
ufacture the cuirasses. The capital stock
was $300,000 and all of the stock was dis
posed of. Instead of trying to till the
Russian order, it is charged that Ben
ditti and Mazzoni spent all the money
they raised within a few months.
Among the witnesses who will testify at
the trial will be the Russian Ambassador
and the Japanese military attache. Tes
timony Is expected to be sensational in
the extreme.

Work Purchased in Berlin.
LONDON. June 30. (Special.) A record
price for a private art collection was
paid today when Duvcen Brothers pur
chased the collection of Oscar Halnanery,

tinest specimens of all branches of the
fifteenth century art and was formed
twenty years ago by Dr. Bode, director of
the Berlin Museum, who wished to obtain
it for the museum and denounced the

ago, manv offers have been received and
refused. The collection will be exhibited

Norwegians Vex King Haakon by
Failure to Row Tow.
BERLIN, June 30. (Special.) Informa
tion has reached here that King Haakon
VII. the newly crowned monarch of Nor
way, Is very much dissatisfied with con
ditions as they prevail In the country
over which he has assumed the rule. He
complains that his advisers have no re
spect for his royal dignity. They hustle
him about as If he were a servant Instead
of the King.
During his recent tour of the country,
on his way from Christiana to Trondhjem
for his coronation, the populace, while
turning out In large numbers to see him,
lacked the devout homage for their mon
arch which Haakon has been accustomed
to seeing bestowed upon a ruler. The
newspapers also have been unrestrained
in their criticism and this has added to
his discomfiture. Altogether, it is said
Haakon Is sorry that he has undertaken
to rule over a country where such little
respect is shown for royalty.

Manhattan Island resulting from heat
were reported before noon today. All the
victims were infants. Reports of pros

American Players Are Left Destitute
in South Africa.
NEW YORK. June 30. News has
reached here that the James Nelson Op
era Company, an American organization,
has collapsed in South Africa, leaving 40
persons, 24 of them women, destitute. Al
though stagnation of trade was the prin
cipal cause of the failure, a strong factor
was the popular prejudice against Amer
icans. The company opened in Johannesburg,
and after seven weeks of bad business
went to pieces. The generosity of certain
Johannesburg people enabled the stranded
singers to reach Cape Town, where they
are now, except ten, who have raised
enough money to reach Southampton, en
route to New York.

Will Be Shown.
BOSTON. June 30. (Special.) To
show up the methods of the inner circles
of the Republican State Committee in the
receipt and uses of money, as well as to
learn just what connection the committee
hadwith the affairs of Robert G. Proctor,
under conviction of stealing a $225,000
donation to the campaign fund. District
Attorney Moran has process-servers look
ing for United States Senator Lodge, for
13 years employer of Proctor. Senator
Lodge is wanted before the grand jury
Tuesday next.
Today Mr. Moran refused to discuss
the summons already known to be in ex
istence for prominent members of the
state machine, declaring he did not in
tend to try the matter out in the news
papers. This afternoon another bunch
of subpenaes was Issued from the Dis
trict Attorney's office bearing the names
of other prominent Republicans, both
members of the committee and some not
now serving on that body. This would
make it appear that the entire commit
tee is to be examined.
With the members of the state com
mittee testifying, it is thought likely
that the officers of several Boston cor
porations will be asked to tell what they
have contributed in money to the party
in the last few years and to show then
books. GET BOGUS CERTIFICATES

BAILEY ON GRILL
Hearst Hands Out Defi to
Texas Senator.
ANSWER TO HIS SPEECH
Charges That as Lackey of Standard
Oil, Texan Squirms at At
tacks and Tries to
Hide Himself.
WASHINGTON, June 30. William
Randolph Hearst tonight telegraphed
the following from San Francisco in
answer to the speech made by Sena
tor Bailey in the Senate Thursday:
"Senator Bailey said little of import
ance and consequently there is little
to be said in reply.
"I cannot honestly claim credit for
the able articles on the Senate in the
Cosmopolitan Magazine, although I
would be glad to do so.
"Their excellence Is due to Mr. Phil
lips, and their value can be estimated
by the aroused semi-sense of decency
in some cases and shame in others.
"As for Senator Bailey personally,
he began his career In Washington by
expressing unwillingness to wear even
the conventional dress suit. He ended
by wearing tamely .and humbly the
scarlet livery of the corporations.
"But while Bailey Is willing to wear
the trust livery and answer the Rocke
feller bell as readily as any other
Standard OH lackey, he does not like to
have attention called to his badge of
servitude, and at present he is doing
his best to hide it and shield himself
behind the grave of the dead Senator
Gorman.
"The whole matter has no interest
for me, however, except Insofar as it
illustrates that growing evil in Amer
ican public life the control of the peo
ple's representatives by the corpora
tions. "WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST."

"SATISFACTION OR YOUR MONEY BACK"
WELCOME WORDS TO WOMEN.
From the view point of the average
mn housework is very easy. The wife
is right at home. She is her own mis
tress. She can sit down and rest any
time. She can even go to bed for a nap
if she feels like it. She can order her
household affairs ju6t to suit her own
convenience. If she doesn't feel equal
to doing work to-dav, she can do it
to-morrow. That's the beautiful theory
of the average man.
Just suppose the Egyptian task-masters,
when they made the required
daily tale of bricks tax the uttermost
of human strength, had said to the
toiling slaves, "Don't hurry, take a
rest every now and then only don't
forget that your tale of bricks must
be all right at night or else there'll be
trouble."
There's the fact. There are the
day's duties to be got through, and t!.
women who can rest may not. The
woman, who, when she married, said,
"Now, I'll be my own mistress," finds
herBelf a slave to household cares and
duties.
And oh ! how much that woman
needs rest sometimes. She brushes and
scrubs, and rolls pastry, her temples
throbbing, her back aching, her nerves
quivering under the stress of pain.
What she would give if she could just
creep upstairs and throw herself on the
bed in a darkened room and rest.
Rest would temporarily relieve the
strain, doubtless, but it would be the
same story over again to-morrow. The
real need of weak, nervous women is
strength, and that need is fully met
and satisfied bv Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. It makes weak women
strong and sick women well. It re
moves the causes of women's weak
ness, tranquilizes and invigorates the
nerves, encourages the appetite and
induces restful sleep. "Favorite Pre
scription" is a positive cure for the
most complicated and obstinate cases
of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, pain
ful menstruation, unnatural suppres
sions and irregularities, prolapsus or
