A bullet in his heart from a revolvor In
tho hand of John Anholdt Instnutly killed
11-yenr-old Henry Lccsc, son of John
Leese, of 1221 North Lelthgow street, on

Anholdt, Who Is utmost prostrated bo
cause ho caused the death of tho boy,
was exonerated todny by tho Coroner's
Jury, which held that tho shooting was
accidental. The bodv will be brought
homo this afternoon.
Young Leeso nnd n companion wcie
spending n few days on tho Anholdt
fnrm. Yesterday they saw an automatic

the house and asked Anholdt to let them

At the Inquest, held by Coroner B. C

by a train. Anholdt had found tho re
volver and hung It up In his home.
Tho dead boy was a pupil at St. Peter's

WIRES DOWN, RAILROADS WRECKED,
REACH COAST BY MOTORCYCLE
Couriers Dash From White House to the Presidio, San Francisco,
at Rate of SO Miles an Hour This Is Only an Experiment
to Test Advisability of Motorcycle Reserve Corps.
A low mud streaked motorcycle, with
flames shooting from the exhaust pipes,
shot up Broad street through tho scurfy
Ing maze of Jitneys this afternoon, Tho
rider kept his machine nt the highest
speed allowed by the ordinances of Phlla
delphln, nnd there was n suspicion that
perhaps he went n little faster, At Dla
mond street n large crowd saw the man
dismount and hand something to nnothel
cyclist, who Jumped on his cycle nnd shot
out Broad street to the Boulevard nt n
good clip. Once out of city limits tho
driver opened up and tore along at n
reckless rate, for his errand was for tho
Government nnd his object was to beat
time,
Tho first rider, John Daniels, 1020 Glrnrd
avenue, had come from Baltimore, a dis
tance of 110 inlles, In two hours and 50
nilnutes. With several stops to cut down
his speed, he had nevertheless mnlntalnetl
nri average of M miles nn hour, as pre
scribed by the schedule on which he was
running. At one point he had attained,
with the nld of powerful air pump, a
speed of nearly two miles n minute. His
speed was further cut down bccnUso of
the poor condition of tho roads, which
wero heavy and muddy from tho recent
rains.
Tho second rider, who will probably vlo
late every speed law over passed by tho
States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
on his dash to New York, was Arthur
Chanclle. holder nf ..u..ai ,un.i,i'B AnH.in
for motorcycle racing. To nrrlve In New
York on his schedule he will have to
maintain a steady rate of B0 miles nn
hour. At Now York the dispatch will bo
taken by another cyclist on to Chicago.
From Chicago It will go to St. Louis and
west over tho nocklcs to Snn Francisco.

THAW ATTACKS SOME
PHILADELPHIA PAPERS
WHILE IN HARRISBURG
Stanford White's Slayer
Also Gives Out Treatise
on Insanity Due to Ar
rive Home Tonight at
6:35 o'clock.
Harry K. Thaw passed through liar
rlsburg early this afternoon on his way
home to Pittsburgh, stopping long enough
to deliver a bitter attack on some Phila
delphia newspapers and a carefully pre
pared treatise on Insanity. As usual, ha
had sufficient carbon coplcB of tho latter
to sco that every newspaper man In sight
cot one.
Just why Thaw should bo angry nt tho
Philadelphia papers was not altogether
elenr, but apparently he was grieved bo
causo they had not taken him so seri
ously ns had the New York papers. Thaw
will reach Pittsburgh at 6.35 o'clock.
Thaw left here for Pittsburgh, his old
home, where his mother awaits him, at
8:40 o'clock this morning. For 10 minutes
prior to tho departure of the train Thnw
stamped around Broad Street Station,
looking as pleased as Punch. For the first
tlm since he arrived In this city he had
drawn a crowd. This pleased him greatly,
for ha had been piqued because Philadel
phia had not lined tho streets to cheer
him and because no great Interest In him,
such ns he had seen In Now York nnd
Atlantic City, was displayed here.
Thaw's Broad Street Station crowd
wasn't large. It numbered, according to
five estimates, 150 persons. Including com
muters, trnln hands, newspaper boys, po
lice, detectives and newspaper men.
TRIUMPHAL ENTRY TO CITY.
Tho passage of Thaw from the Bellc-vuo-Stratford,
where ho spent the night,
following his arrival from Atlantic City,
to Urund Street Station and Into his train
through gate No. 13 was like a triumphal
procession. On one side was his secre
tary, on tho other his detective body
Kuard. Behind In solid phalanx enmo the
New York newspaper men, shouldetlng
aside alt who would take a nearer look
at tho celebrity.
From time to time pedestrians recog
nized the slayer of Stanford White nnd
gazing at him with wide eyes, asserted:
"There'B Harry Thaw,"
Each time this happened Thaw raised
his right hand and gave It a genial wave.

the War College has been considering the

tho spectators he raised his hat nnd
bowed. Inside Broad Street Station he
didn't get n slnglo chance to put on his
hat until ho had landed In his drawing
room.
Thaw then listened to n battery of ques
tions, smiling and nodding right and left.
When thoro enme a lull he wrinkled up
his brow an if In profound thought nnd
then carefully drew out a fistful of paper
that turned out to be carbon copies of a
statement he had prepared In advance
with rare foresight.
This Is tho statement:
"Philadelphia Is the first city I havo
entered In my natlvo State. It Is n
great satisfaction to be here even
though my arrival was somewhat hur
ried owing to the amlnbtq but ovcr
zealous efforts of tho photographers
In Broad Street Station. By this even
ing I hnvo to bo In my own Penn

California, but only for the relaxation
nnd benefit of tho visit. I shall return
nnd mako my homo In Pittsburgh, nnd
perhaps have Interests nlso In this
city which will bring mo hero often
again, but quietly nnd unnoticed, ex

"HARRY K. THAW."
Thero was a sllcnco bo thick It might
havo been cut whllo tho newspapcar man
road, this statement, tinged nB It was with
melancholy. Then every one cleared his
throat. Thaw smiled ngaln nnd resumed
his breakfast.
POSES FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
When Thnw reached tho sidewalk ho
had 10 minutes to catch his train. Thaw
twisted, turned nnd, escaping his guar
dians, stood before the cameras. This
proceeding drew tho crowd of 150.
Tho start then was made for Broad
Stroet Station. Thaw had taken about
10 step3 when ho suddenly becumo sus
picious and turning saw that tho Phila
delphia newspaper men were lagging be

called:
"Como on up to tho station."
The spotlight having been redirected,
the party resumed Its mnrch. Whenever
