EFFORT TH FREE THAW
Permitted to Sign Application
For Habeas Corpus Writ.
No Formal Request Hat Been Made to
Lunacy Commission For Certifica
tion aa to Thaw's Mental Condition.
District Attorney Jerome Will Ap
pear at Hearing to Oppose Release.
PoughkeepHle. N. Y., April 21 The
first step In proceedings looking to the
release ot Harry K. Thaw from the
state asylum for the criminal Insane
at Matteawan has been taken. James
G. Graham of Newburg, formerly sec
retary for Governor Odell, appeared
s Thaw's counsel before Justice Mors-
chauner of the New York state su
preme court at White plains and made
application for an order directing the
superintendent of the asylum to per
mit Thaw to sign an application for a
writ of habeas corpus. The order
was promptly granted and probably
will be served upon the acting super
intendent of the asylum at once.
According to the usual procedure In
such cases Thaw will sign the applica
tion for a writ of habeas corpus, which
will then be submitted to a justice of
the supreme court, probably Justice
MorschaiiHer. Such writs are always
granted and the date when the writ Is
returnable Is fixed to suit the conven
ience of all parties concerned. The
next step will be for Thaw to appear
before a justice of the supreme court
for a hearing to determine whether he
should be released from the asylum
as sane. Probably this hearing will
be held before Justice Morschauser at
Poughkeepsie.
This method of securing the release
of a prisoner at the state asylum Is
the one usually taken when the state
lunacy commission is unwilling to de
clare that the prisoner is Bane.
Whether an expression from the com
mission has been secured could not be
learned hore.
No Request of Commission.
Albany, April 21 Dr. A. W. Ferris,
president of the state commission In
lunacy, snid last night that no formal
request was made to the commission
since Harry Thaw was committed to
Matteawan for a certification as to
Thaw's mental condition. Dr. Ferris
said that the medical authorities at
Matteawan have been observing
Thaw's condition daily, but have not
made a report to the commission, nor
have they been requested to make a
report.
Dr. Ferris said also that Thaw's Im
mediate relatives, counsel and phy
sicians have been permitted to see
Thaw daily.
District Attorney Will Oppose.
New York. A m il 21. District At
torney Jerome, when told that an ef
fort was being made to have Harry K.
Thaw released from the Matteawan
usvlum for the insane, said that he
and Assistant District Attorney Frank
Garvan would go before Justice Mors
chauser at White Plains if the latter
granted the writ of habeas corpus to
James G. Graham of Newburg, one of
Thaw's counsel. District Attorney Jer
ome is opposed to Thaw being released
from the asylum.
Judge Parker Will Accept.
New York, April 21. All doubt as
to former Judge Alton B. Parker's ac
ceptance of his selection as a delegate-
at-large from New York to the nation
al Democratic convention at Denver
was apparently removed by a state
ment given out by Arthur McCausland,
thief clerk of the firm of Parker,
Hatch & Sheehan and Mr. Parker's
private secretary during the presides
tlal campaign ot 1904. Mr. McCaus
land said: "While Judge Parker did
not Beek the position of delegate-at
large for which the committee chose
him, I am confident that he has no
thought of declining It."
R. A. McCormick Injured In Runaway.
New York. Anril 21. R. A. McCor
mick, general superintendent of elec
trical equipment for the New York
Central railroad, was badly injured in
a runaway accident at White Plains.
A stace In which he was riding was
smashed and when he was thrown un
der it his right shoulder was broken
and a splinter was driven into his
right eye, probably destroying the
sight of it. Mr. McCormick was re
moved to a hospital in an unconscious
condition.
Two Excursion Trains Collided,
Melbourne, Australia, April 21.
Two excursion trains collided at Bray

killed and about 40 Injured. The ac
tual number has not been definitely

Nineteen bodies have been recovered.
Fleet Will Not Stop In England.
London, April 21. It has been decid
ed definitely that the American floet
of battleships will not call at any Eu
ropean port on Its way home with the
exception of certain points In the Med

stop for coal. This Information is
conveyed in the American reply to
the invitation extended by Great Brit
ain that the fleet come to Encland.
OTHERIMPORTANTQUbSTIONS
Senator Raines Defines His Position
on the Agnew-Hart Bills.
Albany, April 21. Senator Raines,
majority leader In the senate, took oc
casion last night to make an extend
ed statement relative to his position
In the matter of the Agnew-Hart bills,
designed to abolish the legal protec
tion of public gambling at racetracks,
on account of some matters I have
read In the public prints and because
of lettters received, of which the fol
lowing Is an example."
Senator Raines then read part of a
letter from Rev. Frank F. Rowland of
Rochester, declaring that "A multi
tude of people in this great state" be
lieved Senator Raines responsible for
the defeat of the bills, on the ground
that even though he voted for them
It was through his influence that the
vote on the bills was postponed,
which postponement gave the gam
bling elonient ample time to 'fix' the
honorable members of the state senate
who were on the fence."
Senator Raines reiterated the state
ment which he made at the time of
fhe defeat of the bills, describing the
history of the bills in the senate and
showing that the opposition to the
bills could have prevented a vote even
so early as It was had but for the
agreement to which he consented.
'The reverend gentleman who ad
dresses me seems to consider," said
Senator Raines, "that there is no pub
lic question whatever which compares
in Importance with that Involved in
the so-called anti-gambling bills. They
seem to him to be so Important that
unless passed he Is ready to lead a
revolt against the Republican party."
Senator Raines read a letter from
Charles Sprague Smith, managing di
rector of the Ethical league of the
state of New York, emphasizing the
Importance of the bill to create a com
mission for the Investigation of the
unemployed, expressing the opinion
that "There Is no question of equal
Importance," and that "the transit sit
uation is second in Importance, the
racetrack gambling In comparison
trivial."
"It would seem from this statement
of Professor Smith," said Senator
Raines, "that there are other ques
tions at least as important as the one
Involved in the anti-racetrack ganib
ling bills."
BOY DROWNED IN WELL.
His Little Brother Held Him Up For
Some Time With Pole.
Quebec, April 21. Henry I.essard
the 11-year-old son of Joseph Lessard
of St. Gedeon, Lake St. John, met with
a tragic death in a well on his father's
farm a few days ago. A younger
brother was playing at the well with
him.
The deceased waa playing with the
pole that was in the well, and fell In,
His little brother, seeing what had
happened, seized the other pole and
endeavored to raise Henry. His
strength was unequal to the task, but
he was able to hold his brother above
the water for some time, while he
shouted for help. Hia cries could not
be heard by the neighbors and the
parents had gone to church.
After having been suspended for
what seemed a very long time be
tween life and death, the unfortunate
victim, who had said all the prayers
he knew and asked his brother to pray
with him, was compelled to relax his
hold and dropped to his death.
Japanese Tourists Visit Exchange.
New York, April 21. The visitors'
gallery at the New York Stock ex
change, which has been closed for
more than two months, was tempor
arily thrown open for the accommoda
tion of sixty members of the party of
Japanese tourists who are making a
trip around the world and who ar
rived In New York last week. The
gallery was closed two months ago os
tensibly for repairs. There were
widely circulated reports at that time,
however, that fears were entertained
that some crank might gain entrance
to the gallery. The Japanese party
occupied seats in the gallery for about
half an hour and watched with appar
ent interest the proceedings of the ex
change. General Manager of Munsey's Papers.
New York, April 21. An arrange
ment was concluded by which Charles
R. Grasty will become general manag
er of Frank A. Munsey's newspapers
the Baltimore News, the Boston Jour
nal and the Washington Times. "A
part of my purpose In the purchase of
the Baltimore News," said Mr. Mun
sey, "was to add the man who built up
that paper to my forces. When I took
possession of the News I found a prop
erty without a soft spot In It. It was
Vetter In all respects than had been
represented. Mr. Grasty's coming to
me means no change In but simply an
enlargement of the plans for dally
journalism I have long had in mind."
Fight of White and Negro Women.

An Appeal For Legation Buildings.
In an appeal for government le
gation buildings abroad, Mr. Perkins
of New York, in the house, by Impli
cation charged that Emperor Will-
lam's attitude toward David Jayne
Hill as American ambassador to Ber
lin had been entirely due to social
causes.
That the ambassador from the
United States must be a very rich
man, he said, seemed to he accepted
In court circles. In the case of Mr.
Hill, he declared, "no one questioned
his capacity, nothing he had ever said
dr done was distasteful to the country
to which he was accredited; but those
who find special pleasure In elaborate
entertainment and in the splendors
of social life, supported by multi-mil
lionaires, seemed to have regarded as
distasteful the prospect of a change
In the present regime."
'Such things," he contended, "may
be useful adjuncts, but certainly they
are not the recognized objects of dip
lomatic life."
If, he said, only millionaires were
fit for the duties expected from Amer
ican ambassadors, then American am
bassadors must soon cease to exist.
When the United States, he declared.
owned its own buildings, there would
be a better chance for the man of mod
erate means to make ends meet, and
less demand for tho multi-millionaire
to expend his wealth In excessive dis
play.
