day u held by tha court to be a danger
ous lunatic and wmn whirled away to the,
state, hospital for the criminal Insane at
Hat tea wan. It waa a quick transition from
the dingy little cell In the Tombs, which
had Ivwi the young man's home for more
limn eighteen months, to the. white-bedded
wards of the big aeylttm rucked away on
the enew-covered sloping banks of the Hud
son river fifty miles above the city. The
verdlrt came after twenty-five hours of
waiting, when everyone connected with tha
ihm Had abandoned every hope of an
agreement evtr being reached In this or any
other trial. Four hours after the foreman's
lips had framed the words "Not guilty,"
with the accompanying insanity clause.
Tliaw. protesting he was sane, waa on bis
way to Matteawan. A little after night
fall he had been received in the institution
under commitment papers, which directed
his dotation "until discharged by duo
course of law."
Thaw Dm to Jary.
T!i first thrill of the words of acquittal
brought Thaw to his feet in the court
room and. with that lack of grace of action
which lias always characterised hia move
ment, he awkwardly, almost haughtily,
bowed his acknowledgments to the twelve
jurymen as they wer discharged by the
court. A smile played about his pallid fea
tures, and there waa every reason to be
lieve that he waa entirely pleased with tha
outcome. It waa after he had heard the
words of Justice Dnwling committing hlra
I a Matteawan on the ground that hia re
lonse, lit tho opinion of the court, would
endanger the public aafety. and after tha
elation of the verdict had died away, that
Thaw rebelled. He commanded hia at
torneys immediately to ue out a writ of
habeas cerpua to have his aanlty tested
before he waa sent away to the up-tate in
stitution where tha Inaanja of criminal tend
encies were confined. Mm. William Thaw,

It was 12:30 o'clock. Just twenty-five

An officer wan dispatched to Justice Dow

twvlve men were ready to report.
District Attorney Jerome and counsel for
the defense quickly assembled, and young
Mrs. Thaw rushed to her accustomed chair

In (act. it was generally believed that a

time Justice Dowling warned the spec,

Thaw was not prepared for the climax of
his case and there waa an appreciable de
ley in summoning him to the bar.
When he had reached hia chair at counsel
table, the poll of tha Jury waa begun.
All t li-ev doors of the court mom were
locked and save for a newspaper messenger
no one was allowed to leave tha chamber
until the proceeding waa over.
Thaw was commanded to stand up and
face the Jurors, and they in turn, were
called to their feet.

In this car the United Typothetae was
granted a temporary rcHtrainlng order liwt
Octuber to prevent the international of
ficers of the pressmen's union from order
ing a strike in connection with the eight-hour-day
movement- It was set up by the
Typothotae that a contract had been made
between that organiration and the press
men for a nine-hour day arid an open shop
until January 1. litis. This contract waa
repudiated by the preimmen. saying that It
was never ratified by the union. The case
waa heard in bha federal court some time
ago, and the decision now is In favor of the
union on all points. The United Typothetae
Is held for the costs. In'Otnaha the press

In which he says the union committee did
not have the power to bind the union by

some time ago to prevent the officers ef
the pressmen's union from calling a strike.

claiming that the officers of the union had !

after January 1, r.mS. The officers of the
union admlttPd that the agreement had

"The situation is slmplv this: W
call us the Jacksnnians If you will pro
pose to show to tiie public that the ma
jority of the democrats of Douglas county
are not in the Dahlman Democracy, and
do not endorse Dahlmanism. That is the
whole thing in a nutshell."
In this concise fashion Fred H. Cos
grove, deputy city comptroller, speaking
for a larse proportion of Douglas county
democrats known as the Jacksonians. ex
plained the animus of the feeling between
that organization and the Dahlman Democ-
racy which led the latter to condemn In !
stinging resolutions the alleged attempt of
the Jacksonians to domineer when they
evinced some objection to the platform
and policy laid down by the Dahlman
Democracy for guidance in the coming
campaign.
The Dahlman Democracy Friday night
adopted resolutions setting forth that the
Dahlmanites. seeking to avoid the strife
of a primary, endorse Joseph Hayden as
delrgate-at-large to the national conven
tion and George Rogers as one of the
district delegates, leaving the other dis-

"We are opposed to Dahlman dictation
and If that is whut they call harmony,

And w are most earnest in believing that
this ia what the majority of the demo
crats of Douglas county advocate.
"Mr. Dahlman, I believe, honestly dif
fers with us on this point. He really be
lieves that his policies represent those of
thu majority of lnuglas county democrats;
he believes It was because of these poli
cies and Ilia personality that lie waa elected
ninvor. Why. h couldn't be further from
the facta. Everyiman, be he democrat or
republican, who knows anything annut me
facts knows that it was the ajili-Bcnson
sentiment and not tho Dahlman sentiment
that elected the latter.
Most Sksw 4'onntry Brethren.
"Out in the state certain democratic
papers are carrying on controversies on
the situation in Douglas county. One paper
will tell its readers that Dulilmanism ia the
brand of democracy of the majority in
Douglas county; another paper will tell
I Iks readers the contrary.
I "Now, It's up to the majority of Do.iglaa
j county democrats to settle the dlapute.
Tun Jacksonians say they and the major
ity are nut fur Dahlmun or Dalilnianism.
We have got to say so in order to protect
tho good name of Douglas county demo
crats. We resent the Imputation that wa
;and for tha Dahlman democracy or
Dahlmanism.
"It is this and no desir to dictate the
election of national convention delegates i
that animates us. We don't cure so much
for tiie. national delegates so long as we I
come out all rigHt in the state convention.
For national delegates I think C. J. Smyth, I

"I am satisfied there will be a primary;
I know there will be, and if we can't show
our friends there that we are In the ma
jority, then it will be time for them to
holler. I teel confident that the beat ele
ment of the party will carry thoae primar
ies and demonstrate conclusively that
Dahlmanism ia not dominant in Omaha, and
Douglas county and will spread no further
in state politics."
Asked if the rumor was true that tiie
Jackat.niana were opposed to Bryan and
Bryanism and were taking this as a left
handed jab at the Peerless Leader, Mr.
Cosgrove laughed and said:
' "Oh. no, that's drivel. We have nothing
but the beat feeling for Mr. Bryan, lie

I controversy had not the Dahlman fellows
I done It by seeking to hide under hia skirts
