ALLEGED H<OT TO SPIRITMWAWAY Authorities Believe Plans Were Laid to Take White's Slayer From Guards NORFOLK MAN ! BARES SCHEME Writes Letter to Assistant District At torney of New York, Telling How Plot Was to Be Consummated— Sheriff on the Alert By Associated Press. New York, April 23.—Sheriff Grif fin Haige.i said to-day that he had ta ken every precaution to frustrate an alleged plot to spirit Harry Thaw out of N'ew York State, which r'ame to light last night in Norfolk, Va. Without accusing Thaw or anv of his intimates of participation in .he plot, the local authorities said they had reason to be lieve that plans hail been laid to take Thaw from his guard on the way to court here, plaee him in an automobile and hurry him to the first train for Virginia. According to the Sheriff, the plan was first revealed by the following let ter written to Assistant District At torney Frederick J. Groehl, of New York, by Louis Weinrop, of Norfolk: "A man comes over to me and he said I should go to New York when Harry Thaw's case come? up on the 22d of April and he will give me two more men and they will have an auta mobile to tako Harry Thaw away, when he conies to court room, to auother State, and he offered me one thousand dollars and all expenses and a seeuritv for anv accident happens me in any re- I sponsible place, but I refused him the 1 job because he wanted me to go at once with him to New York, but I wanted him to give me SSO before 1 go with him. "He did not want to do that, he only wanted to pay me car fare to New York and go there with him to his office in New York. This man is a detective, but he travels from the city to another. I know him. but I can't write you in this letter who he is But if I could see you personally I will tell who he is; if you want me you could wire me at or.ee on your expense and I will come to New York." FINANCE REACTIONARY TENDENCIES DOMINANT AT THE OPENING American Tobacco Makes an Abrupt Decline of Eight Points—United States Steel Fractionally Lower— Reading Makes Slight Gains By Associated Press. New \ork, April 23.—Reactionary tendencies were again dominant at the opening of to-day's market, leading stccks as well as specialties moving eontrarily. United States Steel was fractionally lower, while Reading and some shares of less prominence made slight gains. American Tobacco made an abrupt deciine of eight points. Trading during the morning fell somewhat under yesterday's moderate total with further selling of Steel, Reading and other favorites. Such of ferings were well taken, however, inas much as prices recovered. Speculation extended more generally to the. low priced coppers, with renewed activity in local tractions at higher quotations, i | There was some confusion of prices in j the specialties, but some of the recently I active "war" shares, like . Westing house, American Locomotive, Pressed Steel Car and Bethlehem Steel, were again taken up at substantial advances. | Bonds were steady, despite indications of further foreign selling.

In the bend of the Yser to the north of 1 Dixmude, Belgian troops repulsed an ■ attack against the Chateau of Vicoquo | and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. | To the north of Yprcs the •Germans, by i employing large quantities of ! asphyxiating bombs, the effect of which i was felt for a distance of two kilo ! metres 'behind our lines, forced us to l retire in the direction of the Yser 1 canal. "Towards the west and in the direc- I tion of Ypres, towards the south, the j enemy's attack was checked. Vigorous j counter attacks enabled us to regain i ground and make many prisoners. "In the wooded valley near St. Mihiel by an attack to the east and west of the positions previously cap tured, we took 700 metres of trenches and made about 100 prisoners, includ j iug three officors." i RUSSIA BUYS $1,000,000 WORTH Of AIK BRAKES Pittsburgh, Pa., April 23.—An order for 17,500 air brakes, to cost $1,000,- 000, lias been received bv the VVest inghouse Air Brake Company from the Russian Government.
