DEFUSES TO DISCUSS VICTDDY OF THAW [Continued From First Page] by saying that "Thaw is highly insane and dangerous." Expressing a directly opposite view to that of Dr. Flint, Dr. Brltton D. Evans, superintendent of tho New Jersey Institute for tho Insane said the commission's report confirmed his testimony given at hearings where Thaw's sanity was at stake. He con sidered it a personal vindication, he said, in view of the criticism that was made on his testimony in behalf of Thaw, both at the murder trials and sanity hearings. Dr. Russell Kieb, superintendent of Matteawan Hospital for the Criminal Insane, expressed surprise when in formed of the report. "I have no desire to comment on it for publication," he said. "I have said before that I believe Thaw is insane and my very act of keeping him confined here is an expression of my belief that he was insane." This decision of the commission I which was appointed by Judge Edgar jT. Aldrich, of the District Court of \ New Hampshire, is the most impor [ tant victory won by Harry Thaw in his light for liberty since he escaped ! from Matteawan Asylum on the morn j ing of Sunday, August 17, in a fast automobile. It is generally agreed now that. Thaw stands an excellent chance of being admitted to bail by Judge Aid rich, pending the determination of the writ of habeas corpus sued out in his behalf. The attitude of the court bus given rnu'ch hope to Thaw and his lawyers concerning the outcome of tho habeas corpus proceedings 1 now pending. What effect the finding of the commission will have on Judge Aldrich's decision on the question of New York's right to extradite Thaw is problematical. Thaw Plans to Visit Friends Within State Concord, N. H„ Jan. 12. —Believing that his early release on bail is prac tically assured by the report of a Federal Court Commission that he would not be a menace to public safety Harry Kendall Thaw to-day be gan making plans for visiting friends within the State. By direction of counsel, neither Thaw nor his mother would comment on the finding of the commission, al though the countenances of both in dicated their jubilation. Thaw said tliat If tho court should admit him to bail he would not leave the State for the present. Since his detention hero he has made many acquaintances, some of which have invited him to visit them. Ho is planning, he said, to make his first visit at the homo of one of his custodians. Sheriff Holman P. Drew, at Berlin. Drew is the official who arrested him near Colebrook after his deportation from Canada. Thaw's tentative arrangements provide for a trip to cover nearly every section of tljo State. After the lawyers have had sufficient time to study the report of the com mission, United States Judge Edgar Aldrich will give another hearing on Thaw's petition for admission to bail. Tho date has not been fixed. Harry K. Thaw May Go Into Business in Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Pa., Jan. 12.—Roger O'Mara, trustee for the estate of Harry K. Thaw and his confidential adviser, . said to-day that while no definite plans had been formed for Thaw if ho is released on bail, he would probably come to Pittsburgh and go into busi ness. "Court action to establish Thaw's sanity in Pennsylvania will be re opened," declared O'Mara. "He has the ability to start and maintain a successful business and he will do it." CASTOR! A For Infant* and Children. The Kind You Kara Always Bought MONDAY EVENING,' Secrets of Tenderloin Bared by Police Chief Ethel Dnnamore, 406 Filbert street. Assessed owner, State of Pennsylvania, from Minnie Wagner. There are alan some other place* under suspicion, although not commonly reported aa b««il.v liouses, whleli are likewise being Investigated. The Lancaster H»ukr, 21 Conden street, license held by A Katsman, Is a place, lu my opinion, which would be a disorderly house. It Is a hotel In name only, for the following reasons) • No hotel register Is kepti no lodgers are accommodated; no meals are fur nished. The proprietor does not live at the hotel, but closes it up at 12 o'clock at night and goes to his home elsewhere In the city. The only business done In the place Is the selling of liquor and beer and sandwlcbcs only. The bnr and the drinking rooms of the place are frequented by mostly the lowest element (colored) In the town. Women sit at the tables, smoke elgarets uud drink with men, und so far as I can see It la just a place for drinking and tippling, which tends to create disorder In that locality. Stroup Promises*to Take Action on the Report Ail the quarterly reports of the city police relative to the existence of dis orderly houses this morning were turned over to District Attorney Michael E. Stroup by President Judge George Kunkel with Instructions to "take such steps In the matter as he may deem proper." The city policemen, headed by Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, the chief, presented their returns shortly after January quarter sessions con vened. Colonel Hutchison's report was more In detail than the others and he submitted a list of places in question. The other officers submitted similar ones, although most of them were to the effect that the houses in question were "suspected," but that there waa not sufficient evidence to convict. President Judge Kunkel carefully looked through each report and then turned them over to District Attorney Stroup. "The police constables of the city, Mr. District Attorney," said he, "make returns of certain disreputable houses of the city about which they seem to have learned through rumors. We turn them over to you and direct that you take sitch action as you may con sider proper. "All of the reports, apparently, are founded on rumors; none Indicate that there is evidence: but they all seemed to be generally talked about. You may take these reports and con fer with the officers and learn whether they have sufficient evidence to war rant further action." "I will attend to the your Honor," said Mr. Stroup. 1 HO UNEMPLOYED DRIVEN FROM FORD FACTORY WITH HOSE Men Who Had Stood in Cold For Many Hours Start Rioting; Five Arrested By Associated Press Detroit, Mich., Jan. 12.—A crowd of men, estimated at 10,000, seeking employment this morning at the plant i of the Ford Motor Company, started serious rioting when they were told, after they had stood in the freezing cold for several hours, that work could not be given them to-day. A policeman was knocked down, his clothes partially torn off and bricks and other missiles were hurlell through tho windows and doors et' the factory. After a fire hose had been turned on the crowd the rioters dis persed. Five arrests were made. The efforts of a policeman to turn the crowd away from the factory doors started the trouble. "We can't stand here and freeze to death," shouted some of the leaders and a concerted! rush was made toward the building entrance. Several hundred managed to get inside the plant before the troublemakers were under control. The thermometer registered nine degrees above zero and many of the men had been standing in line since long before daylight. Announcement by the company of a $10,000,000 profit-sharing distribution among its employes in 1914 lias brought thousands of employment seekers to the plant during the last week, but the first serious trouble was experienced to-day. The profit-shar ing plan went into effect to-day. HAVE YOU A GIRD OR BOY Who is longing for a piano? Why not gratify this desire? You can. Our handy terms on guaranteed pianos make It possible. J. H.

FOUR GISTERS IN NEW YORK ADE HELD [Continued From First Page] his three followers claimed alibis for Friday night, but Deputy Police Com missioner Dougherty announced last night that he had secured sufficient evidence to hold the four for trial on a murder charge. Thirty Fop Workhouse The thirty men sentenced to the j workhouse " were arrested in a raid upon a club, the first since the order last week to clean up the city. Many other arrests were made and several men must stand trial for violating the Sullivan law, which prohibits the car rying of revolvers or other firearms. From the standpoint of the police, the killing of Straus is of more im portance towards breaking up gang violence in New York than was the murde'r two years ago of the gambler Herman Rosenthal, for which former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker and four gunmen were convicted and are now confined in the deathhouse at Sing Sing Prison. With the power to use their night sticks, and backed up by the city magistrates, the police claim they already have driven the gunmen and gangsters from their favorite haunts and that many of them with criminal records have left the city.
