PROBING THAW MURDER CASE Toonr Woman Followed by Detective How Wanted by Etate'i Attornsji. PITTSBURG MAN THREATENED WHITE Woasaa -Rays Thavr Said He WeM hoot the Architect Secretary of Murdered Man I Qnest loaeri. NEW YORK, July Tre lnvrntiatirn of the district attorney office to discover th motive for the killing of Stanford White by Harry Thsw Is bringing to th office of the prosecutor mHny young women of the stge. The Broadway theatrical dis trict haa been flooded with subpoena. Many choru girl have left the city and others remain at their homs to avoid th subpoena servers. Two young women whom th district attorney's office ha been particular to Interview are Miss Pau!a Desmond and Mis Gertie Grant. It U alleged that these young women Were fol lowed and annoyed by detectives who had been employed to watch White. Paul Desmond, whose real name Is Paulina Kellerman, is now at her home In King ston. N. Y., mid a representative of the district attorney's office has krone there to see her. Miss Grant has been abroad for some time,, but returned last Saturday. Detec tives were watching all the steamships, but the girl slipped ashore unseen and her whereabout now Is not known. Both Mis Grant and Mlsa liesmond are known to have been friends of Stan ford White. The activity of the district attorney's office in running down all cities in the theatrlcsl district Is largely dun to the story told Assistant District Attorney Garvan by F.dna McClure, a show girl, and former friend of Mrs. Thaw. Than Kbent 111 Will. Miss McClure told the assistant attor ney that, while entertaining a number of guests In a Broadway restaurant one night. Thaw raw Stanford White enter the place. He began to abuse White, Mlsa McClure ay. and said to hi wife: "There goe that blackguard now that owned you before I did." Mr. Thsw reported to have answer'd: "Stop raking up my past, Harry. That brute over there Is re sponsible. Go to htm about It." "I will," Thaw said. "I will get him yet." Mr. McClure, mother of Kdna McClure, w with her daughter at the district at torney' office yesterday. In speaking of the Thaw case today she said: "Harry Thaw' hate for Stanford White w like that of a maniac. He seemed possessed of a consuming horror of White. It ws plainly a mania with him."

It 1 re ported that Sturgla had heard Thaw mako threats against Stanford White. Another Thaw Valet. A witness whose testimony may be of considerable Importance In connection with the Thaw-White ce was found to day In the person of Warren Hammond, who t one time was employed by Thaw as a valet. Until today It had been sup posed thst when William Bedford, Thaw's regular valet, died the testimony of the oniy person who had ever occupied the position of a body servant to the young man had been Irrevocably loet. Hammond, however, substituted for Bedford during three month when the latter was 111, about three years ago. It is expected that, Ham mond will be examined at the district at torney's office tomorrow. Among the persons questioned by Assist ant District Attorney Garvan today was Charles Harnett, who wss employed , by Stanford White as a secretary. ' It Is under stood that Mr. Harnett's testimony tended to contradict the current report of much that waa discreditable In Mr. White's pri vate life. i Thaw Threatened 'White. A Mrs. Bchwartx, who lives In AVvat Thirty-second street and who Is an Inti mate friend of the Thaws, will be ques tioned by Mr.. Garvan tomorrow. H Is said that shortly after Harry Thaw and Miss Nesblt were married Thaw threat ened. In the presence ot Mra.

PLEA FARM LANDS ARE VALUED TOO LOW Railroad Representative Alleges Ver diet of Board Is Already .Made I s and I Taken to Task by (orerner tnssmlns. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINKS, July . tBpeclal.) The executive council had not been in session more than an hour today when politics en tered into the discussion of fixing the rail road assessment. Attorney J. C. Davis for th Northwestern msde the ssserllon that the public agitation that Is going on at this time has Injured the railroads, and he mud this a further excuse for something that he said to the executive council. He ss sertcd that it is not true that the value of farm lands and other property in the state has been raised more of late years than haa that of railroad property. He showed' that while farm lands hsd been Increased from 14.) an acre, making the valuation $40.28 an additional acre, th rail roads had been Increased from IJO.IKS a mile to l:1.T48, or an Increase of 12 per cent for the farm land and 2.1 per cent for railroads. He asserted that farm land ought to be assessed at about I'M nn acre. Mr. Crunden of the Northwestern' tax department asserted that since he reached the city he had heard It stated several times that the executive council ha al ready decided to add a very substantial in crease to the railroad assessment. Before he could finish saying that he did not be lieve this to be the case, Oovernor Cummins had Interrupted hltn to say that this was not true, and he called Mr. Cranden to task for making th assertion since the council met todny for the first time thla year on the proposition. Mr. Cranden reiterated the statement that he had heard it several limes and gave as one source a local news paper. Governor Cummins told him: "If those statements have been made they have possibly arisen from the fact that we have been damned from one end of this state to the other for not raising the railroad assessment more." "If that Is the case I want to tak part of the burden of the damnlmr," said Mr. Cranden who appears annually and argues for a low 'assessment. "I have thought," continued the governor, "that aome who have so persistently said we had not done our duty should appear here now and make good." For the most part the representatives of railroad, who were the only persons pres ent, argued today on what should be the basis for mSking railroad assessments and no' arguments were Introduced that have not been thoroughly discussed In other years. .The chief discussion centered on whether the valuation of land Is fixed high enough. The attorneys who spoke today maintained that Iowa farm land ought to be valued at nearer Jffl than $40 an acre. The executive council has gone on the theory that the average value of land In lows Is about $50 an acre and that .the valuation for taxation purpose being four fifth of the real value the railroads should be taxed on the same basts. Governor Cummin read from a government report on railroad valuation whlcft fixe Iowa rail roads at $,15,000 a mile as the real commer cial value. On this basl the executive council would have to add about $45,000,000 to the valuation In Iowa. SIXTEEN ANIMALS BURNED L -1 - ' Thirteen Hariri, Tvro Jack and a ' Male Incinerated In Barn on ..
