row will nay: a new motive for tha mur
der of Stanford White la Indicated In a
aeries of letter written by Mr. C. J. Hol
man, mother of Mr. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw,
to Mr. White and after the latteradeath
found among hla effect.
"Abraham II. Hummel of Howe As Hum
mel,' who waa counael for Mr. Thaw and
a 10 for Stanford White was consulted by
tha architect regarding the lettera. In
them Mr. Neablt-Holman complain bit
terly of the conduct, of Harry K. Thaw
towards her daughter, now hla wife, 'and
Implores Mr. White to do all In hla power
to bring her back to her mother' control.
In the letter Mra. Holman refer to Thaw
a a scoundrel, a villain and a man with
murderous Intent In bla heart. Bha tella
' bf an Interview she had with Thaw, white
they ere In Paris, and declare that Thaw
wanter her, Mra. Holman, to sigh an affi
davit to the effect that he. Thaw, had
never Intended to make Evelyn hla wife.
Tkaw Hear of Letter.
It appeara that Thaw became aware of
the fact that White had been appealed to
, by Mr. .Nesblt, now, Mra. Holman, and
. that the architect knew of the quarrels
between Thaw and hla wife, also that
Evelyn had told her stepfather that he
f wae not married to Harry Thaw at tha
time they arrived from Europe and wera
driven out of the Hotel Cumberland.
Thaw at that time had given a state
ment which .waa afterward, corroborated
from Pittsburg that ha and Evelyn had
been married while In Europe. Thaw knew
that White, waa the only person not of hla
family who knew that hla statement was
false and that Thaw did not marry hi
present wife until months later In Pitta
burg. Just what disposition Is to be made of
these letter la not known at present. Tha
letter are kept In a safe and It may be
that they will be produced If Thaw should
ever he placed on trial for murder and
Mrs. Nesblt-Holman should become a wit
ness. district Attorney Jerome Is anxloua that
Mrs. Holman come to New York so that
lihe may be served with a subpoena to ap
pear at the trial. If she does she will be
cross-examined most severely and ques
tioned as to how, among other things, she
came to apply to White for financial aid.
Among the papers left by White are also
a number of letter written to Mr. Hol
man, husband of Mrs. Harry Thaw'a
mother. It would appear that he, too,
knew all abeut the retatlona between Harry
Thaw and Evelyn Nesblt. In all these let
ters Mis. Thaw Is referred -to as "Flor
ence." She was called thus before 'she
went on the stage and later on her friends
came to call her Evelyn. But to Stanford
White she waa Floreno.
Tkaw Wants Paper Signed.
Among the first lettera Is one written by
Mrs: Nesblt to Mr. .Wblte. It la undated,
but waa penned after Mrs. Nesblt had re
turned from abroad, where she had been
abandoned by Harry Thaw and Evelyn,
.who at that time was not bis .wife. Tha
" letter was headed "Friday" and evidently
' waa written In 1903.
t "It Is a follows:-- ......
r,. XI - Whit. Taiiv tmr reffvft
' Will send Florence' letter as you deslreVl.
When we first went to Paris and met Thaw
he and Florence quarreled continually. Wa
! were at least I was Indeed miserable. I
expected each day to hear her say we would
return to America.. Thaw cam to me,
asked me to sign a paper. The article waa
i that he did not Intend to marry Florence.
I thought as she hated him I waa doing tha
right thing. I do hop aomethlng can be
don to save her from him. He does not
Intend to marry her. I only hope when sha
hears about the paper that her pride will
at least ssva her. Very truly.
E. F. NESBIT.
About the tlma Thaw and Evelyn Nesblt
returned from Europe on November t, 1904,
there was considerable space devoted by
the newspaper to young Thaw and his
companion. Mrs. Nesblt had married In
the meantime Mr. Holman and In ber
desperation It seems the only person sha
ever cared to appeal to waa Mr. White, who
had been known aa Evelyn Nesblt'a early
protector. Mr. Holman wrote to Mr.
White aa follows: .

New York. If the coward won't aay she

Affidavit ky Mra. Tkaw.
In concluding Its story, which Includes
many other lettera, tha World says: "Much
haa been said elnce the night Harry Thaw
killed White about an affidavit Evelyn Nes
blt Is said to have made In tha office of
Mr. Hummel and In which she la reported
to have said things concerning the man
now her husband. It la known positively
that the original affidavit la In axlatenca
and that It waa drawn In Mr. Hummtl'i
office at the Instigation of Mr. White, who
had taken tha girl to tha lawyer. It la
believed that this affidavit, tha contents of
which are known to Thaw, had much to do
with tha murder. Mr. Jerome may be able
to get possession of tha affidavit.
Mr. Jerome will have no trouble In get
ting from tha White estate all the docu
monta having any bearing on the murder
and the Write lawyers have assured Mr.
Jerome that they will do all in their power
to aid the prosecution.
There ara many mora lettera to Mr. Whit
by the Nesbita, but whether they will be
made public haa not been decided upon
aa yet.

"If the people of this country want to
be assured that the meat that goes into
their homes from establishment doing a
purely state and local buainess Is clean and
wholesome," said the secretary, "they
should enter upon a crusade for a general
cleaning up. I am powerless myself to act.
Quite recently I went through some of the
houses not embraced within tha federal law
and found them In a nasty, filthy condi
tion and in some caaea using diseased ani
mals. It is my one regret- that the federal
law does not reach them, but I earnestly
hope the state and city officiate will look
after them aa rigorously aa we propose to
look after the others."

OMAHA'S RELIABLE PIANO HOUSE
OCX LETTER tit
Sheldon Asks Some aealoas.
To the Editor of The Bee: Will you
permit me to address the republicans ul
Nebraska through your paper.
Shall the railroads or shall the' people
control the next legislature? Shall the
railroads, or shall the true blue republi
cans nominate the republican state ticket?
These are the real Issues squarely before
the republicans of Nebraska.
The potentates of the railroad machine
would like to elect a railroad man for
United Statea aenator. But tlicy. want to
nominate a railroad man for governor.
ThCy want to select a railroad ticket for
republicans to vote for. They want to
elect a legislature that will be controlled
hv railroad Influence
Railroad legislation In Nebraska ha Just
begun. Railroad legislation In congreM
Is closed for the present. The railroads
know It. For these reason they will give
up the congressmen, and they will give
up the United States senator. If they can
thereby dictate the nomination of candi
dates for the legislature and dictate the
nomination of tha governor and other tate
ofnoers. Therefore, while It Is Important
to Instruct on the question of United States
senator It Is equally Important to Instruct
on the question of governor. Why do
they want to control the legislature and
the srovernor? Thev fear jiibtlce. The
railroads do not want to be compelled to i
stand equal before the law. They want j
to reduce their assessment and to do that
thev are v llllna- to i moose upon other ;
property holders an Iniquitous taxation ;
system. They oppose equltsble taxation.
Above everything else they oppose the
state exercising Its right to abolish un
reasonable railroad rates, fares and
charges, and to establish in place of them
reasonable and Just ones. And thst Is why
they want a railroad legislature to pre-
... n, fhB nf aurrf law and a rail-
vent the passsge of sucrr law ana a ra. i
road governor, to veto such a law If It
should be passed.
What ahall we republicans do? We must
not put the railroads out of buainess, but
We must put them out of politics. Let
Is not yield to temptstlon. but let us put
the prlnclplea of the republican party In
force In Nebraska. Let us Instruct our
state delegatlona to uphold the principles
of the republican party and to vote for
candidates who are known to be fre from
railroad influence. Let ua when we nom
inate candidates for the legislature, pledge
them to vote for a law that will abolish
the pernicious pass system; for a law that
will guarantee to the people of this state
reasonable railroad rates. fares. and
charges, snd for such other measures as
will be necessary to Insure a aquare deal
in Nebraska for everybody.
The Issue in Nebraska ia not whether I
shall be nominated for governor, or
whether any particular person shall be
nominated for governor or for any other
particular office, but the lasue la, shall the
principles of the. republican party be ear-
rled 'out? Let us stand up like men for
these principles. It will be better to stand
for them and be defeated upholding them
than to be victorious without them. Let
us stand up as loyal republican for Ne
braska. Equitable tsxation, equality be
fore the law. reasonable railroad rates,
farea and charges. Justice for everybody,
are accepted principles of the republican
party. It Is the sunreme duty of the re
publ'cans of Nebraska to csrry out these
republlcsn principles. The rsllrosds have
determined It shall not be done If thev
can help It. Orders have gone down the
line to their trusted men sll over this
state to save the legislature for them snd
to help them to dlctste the nomination of
governor and the atate ticket. Will the
republicans of this state permit the rail
road machine to prevent them from car
rying out tha prlnclplea of the republican
party? No, never!

Address from Jango Sears.
TEKAMAH, Neb., July 20. To th Citl
sns of Nebraska: Through the press of
this stats I desire to say a few worda to
you aa you are forming your issues for
th ensuing election. I do not desire or
Intend to be offensively personal. I do
intend to speak plainly. I have spoken
previously to your state officers regarding
the matter of which I now addresa you,
and In a way that was Intended to force
attention. So far I have failed, and no
good haa reaulted, except that -which
flews necessarily from publicity. I have
found men of rank in ail of our partlea
singularly backward in aaauming re
sponsibility with disagreeable features.
Htnce, believing that the matter to which
I now recur ta of vital Importance to the
state. I address this to the state's cltlxen
ship, regardless of party.
You have seevral great trusts that ara
managed by your stat officers. Th chil
dren's school fund money is by odds th
greatest. It Is of millions of dollars. By
fo) rH TP P
tho Integrity of lta management It 1 In
tended to be a blessing to the future mil
lion of Nebraska children, and for al
ways. By its use corruptly, by being
niched from, to that extent ar the chil
dren defrauded for all time. That Is your
one great and should be sacred trust. I
leave It to you. Why should young men
and boys be sent to prison In this stste
If we countenance the plundering of the
funds that are to educate and moralise
them, by the thousands of dollars.
Now if I have laid enough foundation
to attract your attention. I will say that
your treasury has for a number of years
and until the present Incumbency of Peter
Mortensen been used for rrlvate gain.
That was so under Meserve and under
Steufer. The evidence that there was an
organism Ion under Steufer's management
to corruptly use your funds for private
gain Is, in my opinion, overwhelming and
conclusive. The evidence that a great
many thoussnd dollsrs were lost to your
fund by Intended malmanagement Is posl-
tlve. The fact that your legislature and
public officers have failed to recognise
and rebuke a scandalous condition Is true.
I write this letter to you so thst you
shall Insist as you nominate and vote
for your members to the next session that oftre(1 for th .t trmu. There aro only

I shall ask the people of my county to
speak clearly as to what their own views
are. At the next session I shall see that
competent attorneys, having an interest In
the state's, welfare, are at the service- of
the members whom you shall send to the
legislsture. I know that you are not satis-
fled, for I, claiming to be a reasonable
person and knowing those conditions to be
against every proper rule of good govern
ment, am not satisfied.
I shall auggest to the conventions of the
different parties of my county, Burt, the
duty of demanding of right, a strict In-
quiry Into the past management of the
treasury department. And personally I
shall support no man for any stale office
