fldLYN TOLD
STORY IN TEARS
SAYS HARRY SAID HE'D LIKELY
HAVE TO KILL HER.
THAW DENIES THE ACCUSATION
Evelyn Also Declared That Thaw Said
He Tried to Kill White the Day Be
fore the Homicide , and Insisted He
Was Not Crazy at the Time.
White Plains , N. Y. , July 16. Eve
lyn Nesblt Thaw went on the stand
uere and gave damaging testimony
against her husband , Harry K. Thaw.
It was the strongest point scored so
far'by the state In its fight to keep
Thaw in the asylum for the criminal
Insane at Matteawan. He demands
tils release through habeas corpus pro
cedure on the ground that he Is a sane
man. When the day's session was
concluded adjournment was taken un
til July 26. For three days the state
had been trying to bring out that
Thaw threatened his wife's life on one
of her visits to Matteawan.
The state wished to show irrational
ity on Thaw's part. Blocked at first
by objections which were sustained
by the court , Thaw's attorney at last
failed to show that alleged conversa
tion at Matteawan was confidential , as
between man and wife , and when Ev
elyn Thaw took the witness chair she
related as If in fear , that Thaw's law
yer has sought to keep back his al
leged threat to take her life If he were
released from the asylum.
Tells Her Story Tearfully.
Whether assumed or not Mrs. Thaw
expressed apprehension while testify
ing. She was quoted afterward as
saying that she testified because of
the treatment she received at the
hands of the Thaw family , but on the
stand she apparently struggled hard
not to tell nnd when compelled to dose
so by the court she obeyed reluctant
ly and tearfully.
"What were his exact words ? " de
manded Mr. Clark.
"He said : 'When I get out of here
I suppose I will have to kill you. ' "
"Why did he say that ? "
"We were discussing his mental con-
dltion. I had asked htm what he
meant and he said : 'You know I was
not crazy on the night that I shol
White. ' I asked him again nnd he
said ; 'You know that I missed White
by two minutes on the day before. ' "
Thaw , when asked about his wlfo'f
testimony after court , said ho was nol
surprised at her attitude , but he em
phatlcally denied that he ever threat
ened her life.
"It is very plain to every one thai
her story Is not true , " he said.
"I never threatened to kill her
First she says one thing and then an
other. "
"Is it true that you made an at
tempt on White's life the day befon
the homicide was committed ? " hewai
asked.
"If I had you would have learned 1
before this. " replied Thaw ,
TAFT AND THE
COMMITTEE TILT
SLIGHT BUT POSITIVE EVIDENCE
OF FRICTION ARISES.
HE INSISTS ON EARNINGS TAX
The President Says He Has Enough
Votes In Both Houses to Assure the
* Earnings Tax's Passage Aldrlch
Pleased With Stand.
Washington , July 16. The senate
was in session only 18 minutes , ad
journing until next Tuesday.
Washington , July 16. Slight but
unmistakable evidence of friction be
tween the president and the conferees
on the tariff bill have become appar
ent. A last effort by the conferees
to Induce the president to consent to
striking out the corporation tax
amendment failed. The president not
only told Senator Aldrlch and Chair
man Payne that he would not with-
drtaw from his position In favor of this
tax but he was assured of sufficient
votes to keep the provision In the bill
and secure its adoption in both houses.
The president reiterated this position
to several of his callers.
Aldrlch Pleased.
Pains were taken at the white
house to make It clear that President
Taft did not send for Messrs. Aldrlch
and Payne on the occasion of their
conference. The conference , it was
said at the white nouse , had been
sought by the legislative leaders.
Senator Aldrlch , it is related , was
more pleased than otherwise with the
president's decision. Being already
committed to the corporation tax ho
was anxious that the house conferees
should understand that It is purely an
administrative measure and they must
take It as such and not as a conces
sion to the senate.
The senate conferees have suggest
ed to the president that he send per
sonally for senators to whom pledges
to stand firm have been given by the
senate conferees. The conferees told
the president that If the senators
would release the conferees from
their pledges the latter would bt ! glad
to accept the lower rates. The presi
dent , it Is declared , has adopted this
suggestion and during the last two
days had talks with senators who
stand back of several of the schedules.
Prom all outward Indications , how
ever , not much progress has been
made.
Wants Lower Tariff.
The president , according to author- !
atlve Information , Is still hopeful that
out of the conference consideration
vill come a satisfactory measure. The
iresldent has Indicated to the con-
erees that he Is particularly Interest
ed in securing free hides , free oil , free
coal and a material reduction in the
umber schedule. He also has ex
pressed his interest in other sched
ules which have to do with the neces-
aries of life.
Crane Minister to China.
Washington , July 16. President
raft has decided to appoint Charles
R. Crane , of the manufacturing firm
of Crane and company of Chicago , as
minister to China.
A SENSATION IN CHICAGO
Chicago , July 16. The holding of
Vincent A. Altman , assistant business
agent of the Carpenters' union to the
rand jury on the charge of placing
'bomb 31" that was exploded in the
downtown district the night of Juno
27 , caused a sensation here.
Although Altman has been under ar
rest a week , the strength of the police
evidence against him has been care
fully guarded. Altman's friends of
the labor union predict that It Is all a
'bluff" and that he will be released.
The action presages a bitter war be
tween the unions nnd the police a
war that already has opened.
The carpenters have put Into the
[ ield n volunteer detective force and
charges have been made that the po-
Ice are afraid to arrest the real bomb
thrower , who Is said to be in ppsses-
slon of information that police have
protected gambling In this city for
years.
HILL LOOKS FOR PROSPERITY.
Washington , July 1C. "As soon as
the tariff is out of the way , " said
James J. Hill , the railroad magnate ,
who was one of President1 Tnft's call
ers , "this country will enjoy a pros
perity which will at least equal , If It
does not surpass , that which It knew
under the McKlnley administration.
"Last month I traveled extensively
through the west nnd I never saw
such activity among the formers ,
Everywhere I made Inquiries and
learned and saw that the crops were
abundant and that the farmers were
satisfied. Signs of the financial dc
presslon of 1907 are fast fading.
"Freight cars will be at a premium
within a few weeks. We of the rail
road world judge the prosperity ol
the nation as much by the number 01
Idle cars as anything else. Through
out the last year there have beer
thousands of cars Idle , but they wll
soon be rolling about the country fill

Ing house among hanks to guarnnteu
security to depositors Is the latest
plan pioposed by the bankers of Ne
braska. This plan has been decided
upon by a large number of the banks
and It Is to be put Into operation in
the near future. It Is contended that
It will fill all the needs and denmndn
of a state guaranty law. It Is to take
in every bank that desires to alllllato
and can pass the required examina
tion.
tion.Tho
The Idea of a state-wide clearing
house comes by reason of the clamor
for a state law that would require
banks to guarantee the depositors the
return of their money at such tlmou
as they might desire to withdraw the
same. Such a law was passed by the
last Nebraska legislature , but It Is tied
up In the courts by Injunction , and re
gardless of the decision of the court
of original Jurisdiction will go to the
court of last resort for final adjudica
tion. It Is figured that the suit will bo
In court for nt least two years and
that something ought to ho done to
stay the clamor that Is going up from
the rural districts , where the guaranty
law has the most of Its friends.
It Is the opinion of Omaha bankers
and others that the organization of n
state-wide clearing house will ward oft
the threat of Governor Shallenberger
to call the Nebraska legislature la
special session for the purpose of pass
ing a new guaranty law and that
thereby the state will he saved a sum
that would run Into the hundreds of
thousands of dollars and at the same
time a plan will be adopted that will
be equally ns good If not better than
the most carefully prepared guaranty
law that could be drawn and enacted.
President Burnham , of the Nebraska
State Bankers' association , favors the
plan and states that after correspond
ing with the majority of the bankers
In the smaller towns of the state he IB
of the opinion that Its adoption will
bo without any marked opposition. Its
workings will he similar to the work
ings of the clearing house association
that takes In the large cities. Depos
its In one hank of the aspoclatlon will
have the guarantee of each and every
other bank that Is In the organization
and In this way every dollar of de
posits will have the guarantee of mill
ions of dollars.
Speaking of the plan. President
Burnham said : "Eventually the plan
may evolve Itself Into voluntary In
surance of bank deposits , but for the
present it contemplates the employ
ment of special examiners , supplement
ing the supervision of the national and
sate ( examiners , thereby Increasing
the confidence of the depositors.
"Periodically the examiners will
make sworn statements as to the con
dition of the banks In the association
and these will be attested by the reg
ular officials.
"The recent litigation over the new
guaranty law and the Impression that
friends of the law have Bent out to
the effect that the banks were unwill
ing to protect depositors cannot go
unnoticed by the hankers. We are
j bound to take steps to throw Increased
( safeguards about the business and to
J assure our depositors that wo want to
protect their every Interest , "
