A l f it THAW FLEES ASYLUM SLAYER OF WHITE KNOCKS DOWN GUARD AND ESCAPES IN TAXICAB. FUGITIVE ON BOARD YACHT Wife of Maniac Asserts He Boarded Vessel Near South Norwalk, Conn. Prison Plot Is 8uepected Mur derer Cannot Be Extradjcted. New York, Aug. 18. Harry K. Thawt slayor of Stanford White, es caped from Matteawan on Sunday. Ho mado his daring dash for liberty n a taxlcab. From Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw the authorities learned that Thaw mado his escape on a yacht from Roton Point, near South Norwalk, Conn. Sho did not reveal the source of in formation. Within an hour after his dash for liberty he had crossed the line divid ing the states of New York and Con necticut and he is beyond the reach of the Now York authorities. It is bellevad that oxtrndictlon 1b Impossi ble) and that Thaw's freodom is as sured unloBs he Is held for insanity in another state and committed to some asylum there. Thaw's escape was one of the most dramatic affairs of the kind ever re corded. After knocking down a gateman, who was admitting a milk man to the Matteawan asylum grounds, he leaped Into a taxlcab standing just outsldo the wall. This was headed for the Connecticut state lino and the moment Thaw entered the chauffeur put on full speed and dashed away. Before a half mile liad been covered by the taxlcab It overtook a six-cylinder touring car that had been moving slowly, also toward the Connecticut line. The taxi-cab slackened speed and Thaw leaped out as the smaller machine drew alongside tho touring car. The door of the latter was open and Thaw leaped aboard. As tho door slammed, the touring car speeded away at a rate at least eighty miles an hour. The machine dashed through Storm vlllo, N. Y., fourteen miles from the asylum, without any diminution of speed and, according to late reports, received by the asylum authorities, crossed the Connecticut line In the Yiclnity of New Canaan. Conn. Dr. Raymond Charles Francis Klob, superintendent of Matteawan, be lieves that Thaw's escape was the result of a carefully planned and well executed conspiracy. He received In formation a few hours after Thaw's escape that led him to believe, he said, that tho fugitive had boon car- rled to a Connecticut seaport town, where a yacht had been waiting on shore to take him aboard. Tho superintendent ordered the ar rest of Howard Barnum, tho asylum guard who was on duty at tho time the wealthy young slayer broke away from the institution, to which he wan committed on February 1, 1908. Doc tor Kleb was appointed superintend ent on June 6 of thiB year, succeeding Dr. John W. Russell. Doctor Russell was dismissed as the result of an al- loged $20,000 bribery plot for the re- lease of Thaw. John N. Anhut. a young lawyer, Is now serving a prison sentence ior nis participation in tue bribery conspiracy. Ever since Thaw was sent to Mat teawan, more than five years ago, his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw of Pittsburgh, has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars In attempts to have him freed legally from restrain. As soon as Evelyn Nesblt Thaw heard of her husband's escape she asked for protection. She declared she believed her life In danger and, accordingly, she was given police pro tection. She Is also being guarded by a private detective hired by Arthur Hammerateln. The theatrical cBcape of Harry K. Thaw from the State Hospital for tho Criminal Insane at Matteawan adds another act to the sensational trag edy that bad Its beginning In New York city on tho night of June 25, 1906. On that occasion, in company with his young wife, Evelyn Nesblt Thaw, and two frlonds, Thaw went to the Madison Square roof garden to witness tho opening performance of a musical comedy. Near the clpse of the, performance Thaw left his seat and began to pace back and forth in the aisle behind the seats 'occupied by Stanford White, an architect of international fame, and his son. In this setting Thaw drew a re volver and fired three bullets Into Stanford White's body. The archi tect died almost Instantly. Thaw was then arrested by a policeman. Thaw at the time of the tragedy was twenty-seven years old and was known aa "tho young spendthrift millionaire." Mrs. Pankhurst Flee. London, Aug. 19. Mrs Bmmellne Paukhurst left England tor Franoe.

RECEIVES PEACE PLANS PRESIDENT WILSON'8 MESSAGE IS FINALLY DELIVERED. Mexico's Provisional Head May Be a Candidate for the Presidency of tho Republic. - Mexico City, Aug. 18. President Wilson's mossage to President Huerta is now in the possession of tho gov ernment, which may be expected to re ject It or to return some answer short ly. Foreign Minister Gnmboa In the two conferences with John Lind, Presi dent Wilson's special representative In Mexico, came to the conclusion with the consent of President Huerta, that the simplest way to an end was to ac cept the document for President Huer ta and his cabinet and study It. It would appear now that as the message has been In the possession of tho government since Thursday night, and no action concerning It has yet been announced, there is a good chance for Its acceptance. 4 President Huerta gave Friday night what was considered to be an In timation that he would bo a can didate for election to the presidency in the RUtumn, Whpn asked as to his intentions, he said It was undo elrable for him to mako at this -time a statement as to the possibility of his candidacy, but that he might an nounce his Intention In a fortnight Washington Aug. 18.

The formal communication will be trans mitted to representatives of foreign powers here Monday. It is expectod in diplomatic circles 1 that President Huerta will formally announce a call for an early election, oven setting the date.

WILL NOT CALL OUT TROOPS Claimant Demands Abdication, Execu- tlve Asfcs for Suit, and Both Are1 1 Denied May Involve Federal Gov ernment. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 18. William H. Sulzer's plan to invoke the arbitrament of the courts on tho question whether he or Martin H. Glynn Is now the law ful governor of New York was check mated on Friday by tho lleutehnt gov ernor. Replying to a formal proposal by the Impeached executlvo to submit tho is buo to adjudication on an agreed state ment of facts, Mr. Glynn declared It was beyond his. power to "barter away any of the functions attaching to the 'office In which I am placed by your Im peachment," "Any attempt on my part to do so," he said, "or to stlpulato a method by which it might be duuo,1 would proper' ly placo me in the position you now oc cupythat of being impeached for malfeasance In office." Mr. Glynn declared further that ho proposed to perform every function of the office of governor "except In so far as I am restrained by your Illegal ac tion or by pUysical force." Tho announcement of the lieutenant governor's policy came late at night and followed negotiations between tho respective counsel of the two men In tho afternoon, which it was then sup posed had resulted In a virtual agree ment to tako tho case to the court of appeals. The letter was delivered to Mr, Sul zer at. the executive mansion. Subsequently a horde of Irate Mur- Lphy followers suggested, through their spokesman, that Mr. Glynn turn out a regiment of tho National Guard, which Ts ready to obey his command, and forcibly wrest the scepter of govern ment from Mr. Sulzer, Again Mr. Glynn shook his head. It Is the purpose of Mr. Sulzer's counsel, who contend that indictments for high treason against Tammany Boss Murphy and his lieutenants will bo asked for,' to maintain beforo tho court of impeachment that Tammany Hall coercion brought about the Impeach ment of Mr. Sulzer. The serious condition of Mrs. Sulzer necessitated tho recall of Dr. Robert Abrahanis from Now York. No official bulletin was forthcoming from the ex ecutive mansion concerning Mrs. Sul zer, but an afternoon bulletin, dictated by Dr. Abrahams after he had learned of tho patient's condition over the tel- phone, stated that sho was "still In a precarious condition," with a tempera ture of 102 and pulso 118, Washington, Aug. 18.

SUMMARY OF THE CHARGES Diversion of Campaign Contributions for Stock Speculation Is Alleged 8tory of the Executive's Fight I With Tammany. Albany, N. Y. William Sulzer, gov ernor of New York, has been Impeach ed by tho lowor houso of tho stato leg islature, and will be tried by the son ate and the circuit court of appeals, sitting together as a court of Im peachment. The article of impeach ment, which wero adopted by a vote of 79 to 45, chargo tho governor with perjury and laroeny of campaign funds and with other slightly less sorlous of fenses. An Important part of tho chargo Id that Mr. Sulzor diverted campaign contributions to his private use and Invested them In Btocks. Just beforo tho impeachment Mrs. Sulzor made a statement to tho effect that she had takon part of tho campaign money and bought stocks with it in Wail street. Sho will probably take the wltnoss stand at tho trial to toll this story. Charges Against Sulzer Stripped of their logal verbiage, Uuo articles of Impeachment against Gov ernor Sulzer are as follows: i That Governor Sulzer, In filing his statement of campaign exponses, set forth that his entire receipts wore $5,4C0 and hla expenditures $7,724; that this statement "was false and was Intended by him to b" false;" that his list of receipts failed to Include J,l specific contributions, ranging In amount from $100 to $2,000. 2 That Governor Sulzor attached to his statement of campaign expenses tn affidavit declaring that the state ment was "a full and detailed state ment of nil moneys received or con tributed or expendod by him directly r Indirectly." That this affidavit "was Governor Sulzer. false and wbb corruptly mado by him," and that ho wns "guilty of willful and corrupt perjury." 3 That Gpvornor Sulzer "was guilty of raal and corrupt conduct In his of fice as governor and was guilty or bribing witnesses," Tho specific chargo Is that whtlo tho Frawley cdmmltteo was investigating tho governor's cam paign accounts ho "fraudulently In duced" three wltnosses (his campaign manager, a personal friend, and a slock bioker) "to withhold their testi mony from said committee" 4 That the governor was guilty of "Bupprosalng ovldonco" In violation of the stato ponal law. The specific chargo Is that ho "practiced deceit and fraud and used threats and menaces with Intent to prevent tho Frawloy commit tee from procuring tl;o attendance and testimony of certain wltnesaos." 5 That tho governpr was guilty of "preventing and dissuading a witness from attending under a subpoena" tho sessions of the Frawloy committee. Tho witness referred to Is Frederick L. Colwell, alleged to havo acted as Sul zer's agent In certain stock transac tions, G That prior to his election tho govornor appropriated campaign con tributions to its own ubo, "and used the samo, or t large part thereof, In speculating In stocks , , . and thoroby stole such checks and was guilty of larceny," 7 That Governor Sulzor promised and threatened to use the authority and Influence of his offlco for the pur pose of affecting the vote or political action of certain public officers, includ ing two assembtymen. 8 That he "corruptly used his authority as governor to affect the prices of securities on tho New York stock oxchange, In some of which ho was speculating," How it All Started. When Governor Sulzer, tho "peo ples governor" and tne "poor mans friend," refused to do the bidding of Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, tho most remarkable political drama New York state hnd ever seen was begun, from that very moment Tammany flail carried out a stendy and con sistent program of warfare against Fulzer and all things Sulzer, The gov ornor replied In kind, as well as ho (vould.

Sulzer declined to appoint thorn. although ho had boon somqthlng of an organization man himself for a great -. mnny years, nnd Immediately after his election to tho goi ornorshlp had been lntlmato with Murphy, so lntlmato that Mr. nnd Mrs. Murphy were welconio fit tho "People's House," as Governor Sul zor asserted hlmsolt In an Interview. Sulzor may havo told tho truth when h6" said hla Ufo was in dangef. IUT " dccjnrcd, after his break with Tam- " many Hnll, that ho had employed guards to protect him against possible nssoBslnation. Attack nftor attack, mostly traceable to political enemies, wns made on Sulzor, He was accused of porjury, tho allegod offonBO having boon committed, according to his ac cuser, In 1890. That accusation didn't seom to have much effect In the way of ruining Sulzor, so suit was filed in Philadelphia by n young woman of tho name of Mlgnon (Folly) Hopkins, charging Sulzer with broach of promise. This action, Sulzor said also, was a move on the , part of his political enemies. Miss Hopkins asked $30,400 damages for her wounded heart. Sulzer admitted nav- Ing known Miss Hopkins some yeart ago, but denied that he had ever pro posed marriage to her. ( Row Over Direct Primaries. Whon Suiter promised real direct primaries to the people of Now Yprk, ho evidentlJLnieant what he sUL Whon he Wont" Into office he-madluit -hlit business to start legislation for'.jU: rect primaries on its way. He dls-- covered, however, that ho and his po litical associates had very different Ideas of tho kind 'of direct primaries Now York wanted. A bill was intro duced at tho Instigation of Sulzer, but beforo It was Voted upon another di rect primary bill, which Sulser char acterized a "fraud upon .the. people,". , was Introduced In botu'braSches'Of the1 legislature and passed. Governor Sul zer vetoed It, and then called upon tho legislators to pass his bill. The assembly and then the senate killed the Sulzer bill, atnld scenes such aa the senate and assembly chambers had, "never "beforo seen. Thore"were' shout of rage and shakings of fists In the dl- rectlon of tho capitol-r-There yrw cheers and shouts, when It was an nounced that the bills had been killed. Sulzer then started a campaign to , obtain direct primaries. He enlisted many well known.itnen lnjtls jcause, arTT -called the;to-slslnturejB-Mtrsr-? dlnary session, it had then become '" case of open warfare. , His Campaign Fund Investigated. Tho governor instigated investiga tions of sovoral state departments,-and" then Tammany retaliated in kind' with an Investigation of Sulzer's campaign fund by a legislative committee. 8env ator Frawley, a Tammany chieftain, was tho chairman of -the committee and It commenced its sittings in Al bany. It was intimated that Sulzer had received checks for his campaign fund which ho had not listed in hla sworn statement, a. misdemeanor un der tho lawB of NowiYork state. Two checks were Introduced Into the evl- duiioo. Oho Vas for $3,S00 IroavKunn Loob & Co., the bankers, and.eudorsed "Mr. Schlff's contribution to the Sul zer campaign." The other check waa? for $5QQ nnd. was signed by Abrart.Ij ---- ruiKUB, a prominent new xur. uuj law yer. It was allegod by the' Fniiyley committee that neither of these checks appeared In Sulzer's campaign list At a later session of the Frawley committee, held lit New York, It de veloped that Sulzer had owed the stock brokerage firm of Harris & Fuller.l48.-,. 699.38 on January 1, 19i2, when Sul zor was in congress. According to testimony and evidence offered, Sulzer had boon a steady loser lnJtha atock market. The brokers to whom he owed monoy dunned him for payment, ac cording to the testimony, and Sulzer" was finally rescued by bis business partner, ex-Goyernor A. E. Sprlggs. at Montana, ivho paid $5,000, and Louis ft. Josephthal of New York, who, on July 19 last, paid $26,749.21. It also developed before tho com mittee that Sulzer had traded w(th Boyer, Grlswold & Co. Charles H. Reynolds, formerly cashier for the firm, testified that on October 16 last, ' Frederick L. Colwell, whom he under stood to he nn ngent for Sulzer, had bought 200 shares of Big Four for $12, 025. Tho stock was paid for the same day with eight checks and $7,115 in cash. One check given in 'payment for tho stock was a campaign contribution. The Frawley committee allegod teat the seven other checks were also cam paign contributions, and asserted that this would be proved. Other Governors Impeached.
