WHITK PLAINS. N. T.. Aug S Harry
K. Thaw's latest struggle to regain his
freedom will end tomorrow. The submis
sion of testimony In his hearing before
Justice Isaac N. MI1U closed this after
noon, and all that remains Is the final
arguments of the attorneys. Justice Mills
will file his decision with the county clerk
here on the morning; of Thursday, Au
gust 12.
Several possibilities confront Thaw. The
court may grant his plea and make him
absolutely free. It may decide that he has
not established his sanity and refuse to
Interfere, In which case the state authort
tlrs will probably send him back to Mat
teawan hospital for the criminal Insane.
Dut Justice Mills has further discretion
ary powers. He may feel that the young
man's mental condition Is still In doubt,
and for that reason delay a final order,
meanwhile paroling Thaw In the custody
of some officer, or possibly on his own
recognizance In the care of his family. Or
he may declare Thsw Insane, but moved
by his mother's complaint regarding his
surroundings at Matteawan, send him to
ome other state hospital not peopled by
criminals.
Thaw Confident of Release.
Thaw left t he court room this afternoon
with Jaunty step. The strain of the last
four weeks during which he has submitted
personally to fourteen hours of cross ex
amination was not apparent either In his
face or his hearing.
At no time during the proceedings has
he expressed anything but satisfaction
with the results and confidence In the suc
cess of his case. This afternoon he was as
hopeful as ever. t
"1 am sure," he said, "that I shall be
free."
Mother Flays Jerome.
The evidence presented in behalf of Thaw
closed with a dramatic outburst by his
mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, who was
the final witness. Her last words were a
denunciation of District Attorney Jerome.
Earlier In the day she had read a list of
names distinguished In New York society.
They were guests, she said, at a dinner
ha gave In New York which Harry at
tended before his marriage. . Concluding
her testimony, she referred to this list of
names.
"I brought In the names of those who at
tended that dinner to my son," she said,
"because of the statements of Mr. Jerome
regarding the company Harry was accus
tomed to keep. I do not have any special
enmity toward Mr. Jerome, but he cer
tainly has not behaved In this matter In a
gentlemanly way nor In a Christian way.
Mr. Jerome always talked about Harry's
being a frequenter of the tenderloin, when
hs knows aa well as any one that my boy
never went to the tenderloin until bs met
a certain person who dropped him down."
"That," said Attorney Charles Mor
chauser, "ends our case."
Mother Sobs on Stand.
On the stand today Mrs. Thaw's testi
mony was again frequently Interrupted by
Bobbing, as she described Harry's surround
ings at Matteawan.
"Tli at place seemed to me like the vesti
bule to the Infernal regions," she said
solemnly.
The ' principal new witness today was
Rogtr O'Mara, formerly chief of police of
Pittsburg and recently employed by the
Thaws as a detective in Harry's case. He
testified In corroboration of the stories
about Stanford White,
Alienists Kxamtned Agals,
The greater part of the day was devoted
to a reexamination of Thaw's alienists.
Jerome attacked these experts with every
devise of the skilled cross-examiner. He
roused the Ire of Dr. Brttton D. E,vans by
asking if he was the object of the denun
ciation of medical expert witnesses de
livered yesterday by Governor Fmuklln
Fort of New Jersey. Dr. Evans Is superin
tendent of the New Jersey Insane hospital
at Morris Plains. The expert replied that
ha declined to go Into personalities.
Dr. Isham Q. Harris of the Poughkeepsle
slate asylum also received a grilling, but
both alienists stuck to thetr aaertton that
whatever Thaw's menial condition might
have been when he shot Stanford' White
lie was now sane. They left the stand un
shaken,
Jerome will sum up first tomorrow morn
ing and Mr. Uorachauser will follow. Both
say their closing speeches will
and the case, will probably be in
Mills' hands by noon.

NEW YORK. Aug. 6-Delphln M. Delmas,

Thaw trial he had demanded the doubltng

No Strike in
Chicago, Says
Traction Expert
City Expert Says There Will Be Com
promse, Though Men Vote to
Walk Out.
CHICAGO. Aug. . "Positively no strike.
(Signed) M. B. HERELY."
The foregoing statement was Issued In
writing by the city traction expert this
afternoon.
"I cannot go Into details," explained Mr.
Herely. "but there Is going to be a com
promise. There Is no possibility , of a
strike."
The probability of one of the greatest
strikes the country has experienced ap
peared more threatening with the
conclusion of the balloting of the Chi
cago street car employes on the question
early today. Vnofflcial figures at the end
of the balloting showed that only 193 em
ployes out of more than S.000 were op
posed to a general walk-out. The result of
the vote will not be made known officially
before tomorrow. The count of the ballots
was started Immediately on the closing of
the polls, but the final figures will be re
served for presentation to meetings of the
divisions of the unions.
The Chicago railway employes have ap
pointed three men to serve on a Joint com
mittee of nine and the city railway and
Calumet divisions of the union will appoint
three men each to serve on the committee.
It Is the plan of the union to have this
Joint committee conduct negotiations with
officials of the traction companies Jointly
and to refuse to negotiate on any other
basis.
The offer of the Illinois Board of Arbi
tration to endeavor to settle the dispute
was declined by the city railway on the
grounds that the situation does not call for
arbitration at present.
The vote of the men completed today does
not call for a strike at once, but rather
leaves that as a last resort. They voted
to stand by the demands made upon the
companies.
Hopes to Convict
Black-Handcrs
Postoffice Inspectors Say They Have
Strong Evidence Against
Ohio Band.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 6-Reportlng that
the postoffice Inspectors have collected
sufficient evidence to convict the eight
een Sicilians arrested in Ohio for black
hand operations. Inspector Oldfleld today
laid before Postmaster General Hitchcock
all the evidence. The evidence includes
many letters found In the homes of mem
bers of the alleged black hand band and
other letters which had been sent to In
tended victims, demanding sums of money.
The Sicilians are being held for the De
cember terra of the federal grand Jury.
Inspector Oldfleld, In his report, states
that Antonio Marrfesi and Collogero VI
oarlo, both of pennlson, O., who are In Jail
at Columbus, O., awaiting the action of
the grand Jury, were In Sicily at the time
of the murder of Lieutenant Petroslno.
He says the party returned to the United
States after the assassination, and fur
nishes the theory that If the New York
police should co-operate with the postal in
spectors It Is possible that connection can
be traced between the Ohio Italians and
the band of "black handers" who are be
lieved to have murdered the New York
police lieutenant.
Nineteen money orders, each for $100,
and one for tsO. have been tracel to Italy
for the fun I to protect from Justice the
slayers of Petroslno.

Oklahoma Federal Court Decides
Against Government in
Big Suit
TWO MILLION ACRES INVOLVED
Title Secured from Uncle Sam's Wards
is Held Good.
SENATOR OWEN A DEFENDANT
Judge Rules that Indians Have All
Rights of Citizenship.
MAY ALIENATE THEIR LANDS
Result la Knockout Blow to Conten
tion of Federal Authorities
Appeal to Higher Court
Will Be Taken.
MUSKOGEE. Okl., Aug. . Federal
Judge Ralph E. Campbell this afternoon
sustained the Demurrers of defendants In
;W.OO0 Indian land alienation suits brought
by the government. The action by the
government was ordered dismissed. The
court held that the titles obtained from
the Indlnns before the act temovlng re
strictions went Into effect are goofl.
The alienation suits were brought by the
government In the interest of the members
of the five civilized tribes. It Is estimated
that about 2.000,000 acres of land were In
volved in the suits. The suits hare been
pending for more than a year against
grantees In conveyances Involving re
stricted lands In the old Indian territory
section of Oklahoma.
Senator Was Defendant.
The defendants In the suits, who claimed
title to the land by reason of purchase
from the Indians, are scattered throughout
the United States and some reside In Scot
land and Mexico. United States Senator
Robert I.. Owen was a defendant In 150
cases, and Chief Justice Williams of the
supreme court of this state was also a
defendant.
Judge Campbell In his decision Insisted
that the act of congress conferring state
hood on Oklahoma, Including old Indian
Territory, conferred citizenship both state
and national upon all members of the civil
ized tribes.
The court held that the contention of
the government that the Indians still oc
cupy the position of wards under the gov
ernment and that the latter has the right
to sue for their protection presents an
anomaly. According to the decision the
government relinquished guardianship
when congress passed the act conferring
statehood.
Time Given for Appeal.
Judge Campbell granted the requisite
time for the government attorneys to
complete the record for an appeal from
his decision to the United States circuit
court at St. Louts.
The distinctive difference between these
suits and the Muskogee town lot eases Is
that the lands In the present controversy
had been allotted to the Indians In sever
alty subject to the removal of restrictions,
and was purchased by the defendants be
fore such removal. In the town lot cases
the lands belonged to the Creek Indians
and had never been allotted to Individuals.

Declines to

Sensation at North Platte in Connec
tion with Newspaper and
Water Bond Election.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., Aug. 6. (Special
Telegram.) The question of voting bonds
to build a new water works plant has been
exciting people here since the city council
called a special election for that purpose,
to be held August 24. The Dally Telegraph
of this city issued a special edition this
afternoon, with the entire first page con
taining an expose of a deal made buying
the services of that paper during' the
campaign. The following Is a copy of a
receipt issued by A. Muldoon, an attorney
of the city, to A. P. Kelly, editor of the
Telegraph:
OFFICE OF ALBERT MULDOON, AT-TORNEY-AT-LAW,
NORTH PLATTE,
Neb., Aug. 4. UI09. Received of A. Mul
doon three hundred and fifty and no 1-luO
dollars to pay for work and labor of Dally
and Weekfy Telegraph in assisting In de
feating the water bonds In North Plattn,
Neb., August 24, MOB, and In case bonds are
defeated $2o0 due A. P. Kelly. Said A. P.
Kelly and the Telegraph to use best en
deavors to defeat said bonds and further
the passage of ordinance published In said
paper. (Signed) A. P. KELLY.
The editor of the Telegraph says that
he was approached on the proposition as
to how much money it would take to get
him to give the water bonds a deal made
according to receipt above, the reference
to ordinance being one drawn to give the
water works company a new franchise for
twenty years.
Editor Kelly says that the deal was made
entirely to trap the water works company
and find out if boodle was being used.
In exposing the entire matter the Tele
graph gives its support and urges that
water bonds be carried and says that the
J350 paid him will be returned.

JEWELERS GO TO DETROIT
Select That City by Big Vote for Con
vention Next Year.
RAP THE CATALOGUE HOUSES
Fix Minimum Price on Goods, to
Which All Members Most Agree,
and Thns Stave Off the
Other Fellows.
Detroit won the next convention of the
National 'Retail Jewelers' association by a
large majority, defeating Cedar Point, O.,
73 to 22. The Michigan town was greatly
helped by the report of the special commit
tee, which declared tor the Wolverine
metropolis.
The selection of the 1910 convention city
concluded the local convention.
While the fight over the convention city
was the feature of the Friday morning ses
sion, the report of the'resolutlons committee
was really more Important.
The Jewelers voted by the terms of one
resolution to compel every manufacturer
of watch movements and cases In the land
to submit an official mlinlmutn fixed price
which a special committee of the Jewelers
will publish to the trade.
The hope of the Jewelers is thereby to
help knock out mall order business, which
has disturbed them Berlously since its in
auguration by catalogue houses. The Jew
elers are also going to have an official
code of ethics for the conduct of their
business and the national president and
secretary ate instructed to draw this up.
Boost for the River.
Another Important resolution passed was
an Indorsement of the work of the Na
tional River and Harbor congress. Max
Hurlbut of Fort Dodge offered the resolu
tion, which was written by John L. Fox,
special director for the congress.
It was determined that hereafter no con
vention city shall be allowed to ask man
ufacturers and wholesalers for funds to
help entertain the National Retailers' as
sociation at Its convention, as has been
the custom of the past.
Afver the committee report favoring De
troit had been read there was half an
hour of lively debate on the floor ot the
convention. A. B. Hull of Belding, Mich.,
led for Detroit and Franklin Thompson of
Milwaukee, which he referred to as "Beer
vllle," took a prominent part. Mr. Thomp
son was in a delicate position. The mayor
and Commercial exchange of Milwaukee
invited the Jewelers to come there, but
the brewery city Jewelers felt themselves
not ready. So Thompson did. not appear
to plead before the special committee and
when the debate on the floor came off, he
boosted for Detroit, "the town," he said,
"I was born In, and a d good city It Is."
Thompson demanded of J. R. Stebblns,
a Cedar Point supporter. If the hotel at
Cedar Point was fireproof.
Stebblns was forced to admit that It was
not, "but," said he, "Is the one we are
now In fireproof?"
President Barker of the Minnesota dele
gation read the last paper of the duy at
the morning session. He argued for a fed
eration of all people in the Jewelry trade,
manufacturers. Jobbers and retailers.
The resolutions adopted thanked the
Omaha Jewelers' club, the Commercial
club, the Elks, the Equality club, the
mayor, chief of police and the women's
committee.
"Oh! He Is. Well. then. I want to talk
to him."
"The secretary is busy. Can't I take
your message?"
"Yes. all right."
This in substance was the Introductory
conversation which yesterday passed be
tween a well known western congressman
and the private secretary to Mr. N'ag-I.
Mr, Stevens, the private secretary, re
minded the congressman that Mr. Nagel
a as at the head of commerce and labor
and then obtained the information desired
by the western member. Mr. Nagel, too,
chuckled heartily over the Incident,
