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."

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.

evidence to hold the four for trial on
a murder charge.
Thirty Fop Workhouse
The thirty men sentenced to the

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.

Indications are that the element favor
ing these concessions will be largely
represented judging from the numer
ous letters and petitions now on fllo in
the ofiieo of the commission from all
parts of the State. Whether or not
tho railroad and street railway com
panies will argue for the restoration

all other persons.

MOTHER! IF CHILD'S
TONGUE IS COATED
If cross, feverish, constipated,
give "California Syrup
of Figs."

to-morrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
; bowels, which become clogged up with
I waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour. %
Look at the tongue, mother! If
coated, or your child Is listless, cross,
feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn't
eat heartily, full of cold or has sore
throat or any other children's aliment,
give a teaspoonful of "California
Syrup of Figs," then don't wbrry, be
cause It is perfectly harmless, and In
a few hours all t,his constipation poi
son, sour bile and fermenting waits
will gently move out of the bowels,
and you have a well, playful child
again. A thorough "inside cleansing"
is ofttlmes all that is necessary. It
should be the first treatment given In
any sickness.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages find for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Look carefully
and see that It Is made by the "Cali
