THAW IS CALLED
"CRAZY HARRY"
Schoolmates Are of the Opin
ion the Arrested Man Is
a Weakling.
HIS LESSONS UNPREPARED
fclajcr or W hite Treated by His Fam
ily Jnt a One Who Becomes
.Mentally and Physi
cally Unsound.
DAVISVIULE, Ky., July 7. (Special.)
A former classmate and roommate of
Harry Kendall Thaw, while both attend
ed the university at Wooster. O., is in
business here. He says:
"It would be a shame to execute Harry
Thaw for killing White. He has never
been altogether sound mentally. 'Crazy
Harry,' as the college boys called him,
was always doing the unexpected, and if
Konie unusual act was perpetrated around
the campu-s or in the college town, the
i, .. .i exclamation was: 'Why don't some
one muzzle that crazy Harry Thaw?" He
was never known to prepare a lesson,
and if any of the fellows failed at recita
tion his failure was dubbed a 'Thaw
flunk.'
"One of his favorite pastimes was to
buy the liberty of old Charlie Conrad's
saloon and poolroom at Webster from 9
P. M until morning for the exclusive
use of himself and his boon companions.
He would deposit from $100 to R with
old Charlie to cover the expenses of the
orgin and any possible damages, another
$:; making the Town Marshal deaf and
blind to any unusual commotion.
"Harry liked me because I rescued him
from a pair of town thugs, who had as
saulted him because he had refused them
money. He invited me to share his apart
ments, which I did for a time, but his ec
centricities prevented my doing college
work, and I found If I expected to gradu
ate, being a senior, I would have to
change my quarters, which I did.
"The Thaw family all seemed to treat
Harry with affectionate toleration, just
as a weakling, mentally or physically,
would be treated. He should have been
restrained from his wild environments
years ago. but as It is It doesn't seem
likely Thaw will ever go to the chair, if
the insanity experts' report as to his
mental condition warrants."
DOCTORS STUDY THAW'S CASE
On Watch Over the Prisoner in His
Toombs Cell.
' NEW YORK. July 7. (Special.) While
many rumors are afloat as to the nature
of the defense, the attorney for Harry
Kendall Thaw, the millionaire Pitts
burger, who is in prison awaiting trial
on a charge of murder, will interpose
when he faces the trial jury, it can be
stated upon the best authority that his
lawyers have not so far arrived at any
positive decision. They are considering
the entire situation, but win keep their
plans well guarded, for a time at least,
and. therefore, all statements as to what
is Intended ore conjectural.
The defense is, of course, placed in a
peculiar position, in that It is compelled
to admit the commission of a crime, and
if Justification cannot be proven It will
be compelled to show lack of responsi
bility in Thaw's case.
While Thaw's lawyers are adopting a
plan of secrecy, the attaches of the Dis
trict Attorney's office arc open in as
serting that they expect to have to com
bat an Insanity defense. They base
this assertion on the minute examination
that Dr. Allan ktcLane Hamilton has
been making of Thaw for some days.
Thaw's open assertion that he is per
fectly sane can easily be used by the de
fense to pi ove that he is not. and so they
will have their experts watch every' as
pect of his case that they may testify
at first hand as to the state of Thaw's
mental powers when needed.
Dr. Hamilton, accompanied by Terence
McManus, one of Thaw's counsel, was
with the accused murderer in his cell for
some time Saturday.
MISSIONARIES MAY BK SPIES
Thaw's Counsel Object to Attentions
to Mrs. Tliaw.
NEW YORK, July 7. Women mis
sionary workers In the Tombs were
requested today not to annoy Mrs.
Harry K. Thaw when she makes her
daily visit to the prison to see her
husband. One of Thaw's counsel told i
the Warden that he does not care to j
cike the t hance of spies for the pros
ecution coming in contact with Mrs.
Thaw by representing themselves as
missionary workers.
Dr. Allan Mclane Hamilton, the
alienist, who made an examination of
Thaw yesterday for the defense, called
on Thaw again today. Mrs. Thaw
called upon her husband before the
alienist left. When Mrs. Thaw entered
the prison she was surrounded by mis
sionaries, who greeted her cordially
and accompanied her up the stairs. It
was when one of the attorneys for the
defense, who chanced to be present at
tlmA am i ' . , , ,, V. rnn erYi
the corridor, that the protest was
made to the Warden.
Afterward, in speaking of the men
tal examinations which have been
made by Dr. Hamilton, Mr. Manks said:
'So far as it has proceeded, the exam
ination has been absolutely satisfac
tory to the defense.'

FINEST SHOTS IN' THE WOKIiD
American Army Is Increasing Rec
ord or Proficiency.
WASHINGTON July 7. In a letter to
Acting Secretary Oliver. President Roose
velt has expressed his gratification at the
remarkable progress that is being made
by the enlisted men of the Army in
marksmanship. Before the Spanish War
the American private soldier was admit
tedly the finest shot in the world. The
addition of the large number of volun
teers had the effect of greatly reducing
the average of the riflemen. But since
the reorganization of the Army following
the war, every effort has been made to
stimulate interest in marksmanship, and
the result is that today the average -is
probably as high, if not higher, than it
was at the beginning of the war.
The figures laid before the President
that elicited his approval showed that In
1903 there were, in the whole Army, 58
expert riflemen, 349 sharpshooters and 500
marksmen, as the various grades are
known, technically. In the following year
these figures had increased to 264 expert
riflemen. 1439 sharpshooters and 2484
marksmen. Now it is shown that last
year the record stood 596 expert riflemen,
3371 sharpshooters and 3436 marksmen.
General Oliver attributed the improve
ment in large part to the fact that Con
gress has allowed an Increase of pay of
$3 per month in the case of expert rifle
men. $2 for sharpshooters and Jl for
marksmen.
DECEPTION FOR CASTRO
IMPOSING FESTIVITIES ARE AR
RANGED IN HIS HONOR.
Return of President to Executive Du
ties to Be Made Occasion of
atioual Celebration.
WASHINGTON. July 7. (Special.)
The Venezuelan Legation has received
from the Ministry of International Re
lations the programme of the celebra
tion arranged in connection with the
return of General Castro to Caracas and
his formal resumption of executive au
thority at the expiration of his retire
ment for three months from the Presi
dency.
Festivities of the most imposing char
acter extending- over two days were ar
ranged to mark the event, which coin
cides with the greatest national holi
day of Venezuela, July 5, the 95th an
niversary of its declaration of inde
pendence. In addition to the illumina
tions and festivities of the previous
day. a gala performance was provided
at the muniefpal theater.
DRIVEN AWAY BY" CASTRO,
Colony of Prominent Venezuelans
Are Now in New York.
NEW YORK, July 7. The transient col
ony of prominent Venezuelans in this city,
whose members are men not friendly with
President Castro, has been increased by
the arrival here of General Ramon Ayala,
ex-Vlce-P;esident and ex-Minister of
War of Venezuela. He arrived unex
pectedly and unannounced a few days ago
from Fort De France, Martinique,
accompanied by his wife and two
sons. General Ayala and his fam
ily are staying at a local ho
tel. He is one of the many prominent
and able men in the Castro government
who have either deserted him or have
been repudiated by the President.
General Ayala and Castro became es
tranged over personal matters, and Gen
eral Ayala became a strong supporter of
General Gomez, Vice-President of the re
public, who, in Castro's absence from
Caracas, has been President ad Interim.
He left Venezuela shortly before the
time announced for Castro's return to
power, following the example of many
other Gomez follqwers not in accord with
Castro.
General Ayala declares his visit north is
a mere jaunt for recreation. The Gen
eral has a reputation in Venezuela as a
tighter. During the Matos rebellion Cas
tro sent General Ayala into the field
against the army of General Segundo
Riera, but his campaign resulted disas
trously, and he was captured and held a
prisoner for several months. Genera!
Ayala was Minister of War during the
blockade of the Venezuelan coast a few
years ago by England, Germany and
Italy.
Political Prisoners Are Freed.
WILLEMSTADT. July 7. Advices re
ceived here from Maracaibo, under date
of July 5, declare that the dungeons in
the Fort of San Carlos Island, have been
thrown open and the political prisoners,
with the exception of those charged with
l reason, set at liberty. The property of
the prisoners has been returned to them.
This act is coincident with the return
to Caracas of President Castro, and July
6 is the Venezuelan day of independence.
OFFICERS DEFY COURT.

DUBLIN. July 7. By a vote of 36 to 12,
the Dublin Corporation decided today to
lock up its books in defiance of the order
of the court to produce them for the in
spection of Government Auditor Drury.
Alderman Kelly, who made the motion to
fight the dispute out. is the leading mem
ber of the "Slnnfein" movement in Ire
land, which is designed to defeat parlia
mentary' action by the Hungarian policy
of resistance.
Alderman Kelly made a tierce attack on
the Lord Chief Baron, who gave judg
ment, and especially on Timothy Healy,
who, in advocating the auditor's case,
said that democracy required to be bound
down.
Auditor Drury. instead of confining him
self to the regular audit and surcharging
illegalities, has delivered strong attacks
upon the whole administration of the cor
pbratlotn. including the trade union wages
paid workmen, the library management
and the conduct of the electric lighting
plant just established at a cost of $;,-
RIFLES HIDDEN UNDER HAY
Mexican Officials Fear Another Vp-ri!-ing
at Cananea.
EL FASO. Texas. July 7. (Special.)
That another uprising is being planned at
Cananea by Mexican laborers the Mexi
can officials feel certain, as they have
captured two wagons loaded with ammu
nition and rifles on the way to Cananea,
and they are sure the arms could have
been for no other purpose. The rifles were
captured at Naeo. on the border, hidden
away underneath loads of hay. They were
seized by Mexican customs officers.
Two hundred and fifty additional troops
have reached Cananea from Hermosillo,
having marched overland. They are being
held there in anticipation of more trouble.

Attorneys.
CLEVELAND, O.. July 7. The Standard
Oil Company was technically placed under
arrest today, when Sheriff Groves, of
Hancock County, served a warrant and a
copy of ah information filed In the Pro
bate Court upon J. M. Robertson, of Cleve
land. Sheriff Groves was also armed with

a warrant for the arrest of John T.
Rockefeller, but the magnate, being in
France, it was impossible to arrest him.
Sheriff Groves still has the warrant in hie
possession, a-nd will serve it on Rockefeller
as soon as he returns to Ohio. The
Standard Oil Company and John D.
Rockefeller are charged with violating the
anti-trust laws of Ohio and conspiring to
prevent competition.
Piling Up Evidence.
E. Pagin. personal representative of Attorney-General
Moody, is still here aiding
District Attorney Sullivan is lining up evi
dence against officers of the Standard Oil
Company and of the Lake Shore Company.
The special grand jury will convene Mon
day. With the help of Sullivan, Pagin has
written the indictment, which, if found
true and those indicted found guilty, will
send some of the biggest men in the coun
try to the penitentiary. This indictment
is based upon section 5440, Revised Stat
utes of the United States. It provides
penitentiary sentence for those who con
spire to commit a crime against the
United States.
"It is true' said Mr. Pagin today, "that
one of the indictments is drawn under
that section. The Elkins law is not our
only foundation. I do not say the grand
jury will Indict under this statute."
Mr. Pagin was asked if the names of
the men he wishes indicted were already
mentioned In the indictments prepared.
"No," he said; "that portion is left
blank." 1
"Do you expect the name of J. D. Rocke
feller to fill in one of these blanks?" he
was asked.
General Rumor.
"They say he is at the head of the oil
trust, but who can tell?" smiled Pagin.
"It is a fact that officers of the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern road have
been subpenaed. but that does not mean
that all of the officials of the road will
be free from indictment; that is, granted
immunity. The Lake Shore is a big road
and has many officers. The fact that we
call in one officer as a witness does not
grant immunity to all of the officers of
the road. It applies only to those who
appear as witnesses."
In speaking of the cases in which he has
appeared as proseijutor. Mr. Pagin said
that even if many convictions have not
been obtained, great good has been done
in awakening the corporations, including
the railroads, to the fact that Uncle Sam
Is now alert. From Attorney Pagin's
statements it is considered possible that
the investigation may include other cor
porations besides the Lake Shore and the
Standard Oil Company.
Finds Secretary or Standard Oil.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 7. Sheriff
Groves, of Hancock County, came to
Cleveland today with a subpena for John'
D. Rockefeller. Groves was unsuccessful
in his quest, as Mr. Rockefeller is in Eu
rope, but he did succeed in serving im
portant papers on J. M Robertson, of this
city, secretary of the Standard Oil Com
pany. A warrant and a cer titled copy of
this information filed at Findlay by Pros-
ecutor David were left with Robertson,
who was warned to be on hand when
needed.
The statutes require, in criminal as well
as civil proceedings, where service is had
on a corporation, that the Sheriff must
deliver the papers in the case upon the
president, and if he be not available, then
upon the next highest official to be found.
In the case of the Standard Oil Company,
Secretary Robertson was the highest of
ficial of the company that the Sheriff
could find here.
After seeing the Standard Oil Company,
Sheriff Groves turned his attention to dis
cover, if possible, the whereabouts of Mr.
Rockefeller and when he would return
to Cleveland, but little Information could
be had on that .subject. The prevailing
opinion seems to be that it will not be
until the latter part of August.
RED CROSS CONVENTION
Sew Rules Are Adopted at Session
at Geneva.
GENEVA. July 7. The final text of the
revised Red Cross Convention, whereby
practically all the nations of the civilized
world agree upon rules in the matter of
the treatment of the sick and wounded
and dead, members of the hospital corps
and officers in time of war, shows a
number of changes from the antiquated
convention of 1864.
The protocol of this new convention
gives until December, 31, 1906, for the
ratification of the convention by the
governments concerned. The main fea
tures of the new treaty are as follows:
Chapter one is devoted to the wounded
and sick. Each belligerent is required
to respect and care for sick and wounded
officers, soldiers and others attached
officially to the enemy's army who falls
Into its hands. Should one belligerent
be compelled to abandon sick and
wounded on the field, and leave mem
bers of the hospital corps and material
for their care, such sick and wounded
become prisoners of the enemy.

OREGON GETS NEEDED BEST
FAMOUS BATTLESHIP GOES
PUGET SOUND YARD.
rkree Vearn' Overhauling and Re
Equipment NeeeMarj- to Make the
Vessel Better Than Ever.
OREOONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, July 7. The battleship Oregon is
to be put out of commission for two or
three years while undergoing complete
overhauling at the Puget Sound Navy
yard. The Navy Department today re
ceived complete estimates of proposed re
pairs, which aggregate $975,000, but before
this work is undertaken estimates will
have to be reviewed by the General Naval
Board.
Of this total amount, $500,000 is required
for general repairs, such as laying decks,
substituting new plates for those which
have been worn or damaged; remodeling
bulkheads, etc., and $250,000 is asked for
new machinery to replace that which is
badly worn or out of date. In addition,
$125,000 is estimated for equipment.
Out of the lump appropriation made at
the recent session, $100,000 will be expend
ed on new guns for the Oregon.
Repairs in contemplation will not alter
the type of the ship, nor change her di
mensions in any manner, as she is far
from being obsolete. The Navy Depart
ment believes the Oregon will be good as
new when she leaves the Puget Sound
yard. She will not compare with larger
ships constructed since her launching, but
for her size will be the equal of any ship
in this or any other navy.
AVOKK ON KLAMATH CANAL
Improvement Attracts Attention of
Many Prospective Settlers.
WASHINGTON, July 7. The Secretary
of the Interior has granted authority to
the Reclamation Service to construct 19
miles of canal and 27 miles of laterals In
connection with the Klamath irrigation
project, and to employ the force required
to carry the work vigorously to comple
tion, in order that this distributing sys
tem may be ready for use when the main
canal, now under construction, is com
pleted. No bids were received for this work.
The time required to readvertise would so
delay construction that it is improbable
water could be provided for irrigation by
next season.
Advices from reclamation engineers in
charge of work in the Klamath country
show that progress on the big canal is
very satisfactory; ab?o that many inquiries
are being made about lands to come un
der the project, and indications are that
the many settlers who have already sig
nified their intention to locate will be
followed by many others with the comple
tion of the big undertaking.

WASHINGTON, July 7. By the ap

Judgeship of the United States In China,
and by the promotion of Gregorlo Aran
eta. the present Solicitor-General of the
Philippines, to the Attorney-Generalship
of the islands, two prominent candidates
for places on the Philippine Commission
have been eliminated, and a decided
change has been brought about in the
political situation in the islands.
Henry C. Ide, chairman of the Philip
pine Commission and Governor-General
of the islands, will retire from office in
September. James F. Smith, who is now
a member of. the Commission, will be ad

CALLS A GRAND JURY
Judge Orders Investigation of
City and County Affairs.
DENVER ELECTION FRAUDS
Sheriff and Coroner, Said to Be
Interested in the Proceedings,
Declared by Court Dis
qualified to Act.
DENVER, July 7. District Judge John
I. Mullins, sitting in the criminal divi
sion of the District Court today, made an
order calling a grand jury to investigate
all city and county offices, "and such
other matters as may be submitted to
the jury." Declaring both the Sheriff and
Coroner to be interested in the investiga
tion, the court appointed special elisors
to draw the jury.
The grand jury will investigate the of
fices of the District Attorney, the Sheriff,
Coroner. Treasurer and Assessor, and the
conduct of these officers in connection
with the alleged frauds at the recent
election. Judge Mullins did not today set
aside District Attorney George A. Stidger,
but it is understood he will do so when
the grand jury is impaneled.
Before calling the grand jury Judge Mul
lins, in a lengthy statement, reviewed
the proceedings in his court in the peti
tions of the League for Honest Elections,
for the appointment of a grand Jury to
investigate alleged franchise frauds at the
city election, and for the removal of the
Sheriff. Coroner and District Attorney.
He said:
"The shdwing of the Honest Elections
League was such as to warrant the court
in finding that the grossest frauds were
committed on election day of May 15 last:
that a bold and brazen attempt was
made to steal the election, and, on the
face of the returns, succeeded, by de
bauching of the ballot box and the cor
ruption of public officials, In stealing val
uable assets of the community; that pub
lic officials charged with the ferreting out
of crime and the punishment of criminals
were either parties to this outrage or
were so negligent in the discharge of
their duties as to make them particeps
crlminls."
Judge Mullins announced that he would
hold In abeyance the petition of the Hon
est Elections League's attorneys for leave
to withdraw their request for a grand
jury, as the Supreme Court issued a su
persedeas in that case.
"I do not desire to appear as flying in
the face of the writ Issued in the recent
case." said Judge Mullins. "but as I un
derstand the law, the supersedeas in the
league case is only conclusive as to that
particular case."
The call for a grand jury is returnable
next Thursday. Attorneys for the cor
porations whose franchises are attacked
assert that Judge Mullins has violated the
intent of the Supreme Court's order, and
it is understood they will appeal to Chief
Justice Gabbert to take action in the
matter..
Attorneys for Sheriff Nisbet and Coro
ner Rollins objected to their removal as
officers of the grand jury on the ground
that the writ of supersedeas received by
them from the Supreme Court last Mon
day took jurisdiction from the District
Court, and announced their intention to
appeal again to the Supreme Court. Judge
Mullins gave them until Wednesday next
to prepare a bill of exceptions.
In announcing his decision to call a
grand jury today. Judge Mullins made the
following statement, which Is understood
to be an allusion to the position taken by
the Supreme Court relative to the super
vision by it of elections:
"I do not claim the right to do this by
reason of any high prerogative writ or
kingly attribute, because I claim no de
scent from the Kings of England by com
mon law or otherwise. I was taught
early In years that such nonoense was

Frequently catarrh victims lose flesh
rapidly. This Is due to a derangement of
the digestive organs by catarrh.
Little by little their flesh decreases un
til they become, in some insl ".'.ces, mere
skeletons.
A medicine that will remove the catarrh
and thus restore the digestive organs to
their natural activity Is the correct rem
edy for these cases.
A great many people who have lost
flesh for months, on beginning to take
Peruna, find their flesh returning.
They soon have solid, healthy flesh and
their weight comes back to normal, show
ing that Peruna has indeed a wholesome
effect upon the system.
We have numerous testimonials cover

AST0R BRINGS HIS BRIDE
"Gibson" Girl He Married in Eng
land a Divorcee.
NEW YORK, July 8. (Special.) Will
iam Waldorf Astor, Jr., and his bride,
who was Mrs. Nannie Langhorne Shaw, a
divorcee, are passengers on the steamer
Celtic, which anchored off the Sandy
Hook lightship soon after midnight Sat
urday, and will come up to her dock about
10 o'clock today. This is the first visit
of the young couple to America since
they were married.
It has been rumored that the marriage
had been postponed on account of the
doubt created through a decision in April
by the Supreme Court of the United
States concerning the validity of mar
riages contracted with divorcees, where
one of the opposing parties to the suit
was not a resident of the same state,
but relatives of Mrs. Astor. including one
of her sisters, the noted Virginia beauty,
said on arriving here from the wedding
that these reports were all nonsense.
"Mr. Astor and Mrs. Shaw simply mar
ried the persons of their choice, and that's
all there was to it," they said.
Mrs. Astor and her two sisters were the
originals of "the Gibson girls," known
everywhere as American types of beauty.
Mr. and Mrs. Astor are going to visit
Mrs. Astor's family in Richmond, Va.,
and later will go to Newport for the sea
son. It was at Newport last season that
young Mr. Astor fell in love with his
bride. Young Waldorf Astor is very much
of an American, even if his father Is a
naturalized Englishman. The young man
consents to be interviewed.
Time to Pay Up or Go to Jail.
KANSAS CITY, July 7. As a writ of
error was denied to Mayor W. W. Rose
by the Kansas State Supreme Court yes
terday, after he bad been found guilty of
contempt, ordered to vacate his office and
fined $1000, his attorneys may take the
motion for a writ to the United States
Supreme Court. The court gave Mayor
Rose only 20 days within which to pay the
fine or go to jail, and it is considered
questionable whether he can secure an
order from the higher court in time to
prevent the carrying out of the state
court's action. ,
