ThaW Indicted.

New York, June 28.-The coroner's
jury in the Thaw case after three minutes
deliberation, returned a verdict this
morning finding that White came to his
death from cerebral hemOrrhage "a the
result of a pistol shot wound in the skull
inflicted with a revolver in the hands OF
the defendant Harry X. rhaw.
Harry Thsw spent good night in his
cell. He slept we'll, and was in good
condition this morning to face any or.
deal or situation that the day might
bring forth He arose at $780, took a
sponge bath aud then breskfasted on
boiled eggs, toast, and coffee. After
eating he lii big black cigar and read
the morning papers until summoned to
appear in the coroner's court.
1t developed today Notwithstanding
the stories that have been told about
White's alleged pursuit of Mrs. Thaw,
that the District Attorneys Office in
lends to show il possible that the real
pursuit was on Mrs rhaw's part.
Friends of White say that he avoided
her and that there are notes in existence
which show that she sought him.
The examination of Stanford White
body by Coroner's Physician Leblanc has
developed one thing, and that is that at
The time of his death, White was in
such condition that he could not had
lived more than year or two. The
lungs and kidneys, the examination
showed, were in bad shape.
New York, June 2S.-The grand jury
this afternoon filed an indictment with
Judge Cowing in Part /. of the Court
of General Sessions, charging Harry
Thaw with murder in the first degree
for the killing of Stamford White on
Monday night. The indictment is
purely formal and contains only one
count. Thaw will be arraigned in court
tomorrow to plead to the indictment.
The funeral Of Stanford White today
was hurried an hour in order to avoid
crowds of curiosity seekers. Il was an
bounced to leave his former residence at
l2l Elst Fifly.fourth street for st.
James at O'Clock. The start was made
ats.
Mrs. White had gone to st. James
earlier. The son, Lawrence White, ac-
cOmpanied the body. Hundreds Of
curiosity seekers hung about the resi-
dence for hours unconvinced that they
bad been outwitted and then disappeared

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate yesterday the day was
crowded with business of importance,
including an announcement by Sen
stor Proctor of deadlock in con-
ference on the meat-inspectiOn pro-
vision of the agricultural appro-
pristiOn bill, reply by Senator
Bailey to the recent attack upon him
in the Cosmopolitan Magazine, the pas
sage of the naturalization bill, the con-
tinuance of Senator La Foliette's effort
to pass his bill limiting the hours of ser
vice on railroad trains, the acceptance
of an almost complete report on the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, and a speech
by Senator Warren in support of his res
oution relative to the livestock in
dustry.
Mr.. Bailey's reply to the attack was
dignifed, entirely dispassionate and
a vigorous arraignment of Mr.. Hearst
and the author of the articles which
have made the magazine notorious.
He said that he did not feel the
attack upon him needed a reply, but
that he felt it to be his duty to that
part of the public who might be deceived
by the publication to expose the mendac-
ity of the author and the responsibility
and apparent motye of member of the
House of Representatives Mr.. Hearst who,
he said, owned the magazine and advertis-
ed and indorse its attacks. While yindi-
eating himself Senator Bailey also took
occasion to make a defense of the late
Senator German.
The House concluded and passed the
general deficiency bill, the last of the
supply budgets.
The conference report on the pure
food bill was submitted at the close OF
the session and will be called up today.

Yale Wins.

New London, June 2S'-Bright and
fair broke the day for the annual Har-
vsrd- Yale regatta, and the thirty thous-
and people who swarmed here to line
the old Thames course and cheer the
crews to victory, predicted fine day.
Weather and water conditions were just
what the crews had been praying for.
The bookmakers quoted the betting
on the big race st evens this morning,
while Harvard had slight call in the
letting ou the freshmen eight cared race.
There was plenty of Harvard money in
sight this morning, but as the Yale ad-
mirers do not get here in any numbers
until later there was some Harvard
money uncovered.
An enormous crowd witnessed the race
and the greatest interest was manifested.
Yale won the freshman eight-oared
race after a splendid and gallant strug-
gle, which kept the admirers Of both
crews in ferment of excitement from
start to the finish.
Yale won by nearly boat length
The sons of Eli made a stroug finish,
overcame the lead OF Harvard, aud ran
their boat quickly ahead of the crimson
boys, all within two hundred yards of
the finish. The Yale crew fnished
strong and rowed away to their head
quarters while three of Harvard's crew
collapsed in their boat. Yale's time for
the two miles was 1879 2-5.
Harvard's time was 10:4l fiat After
false start, the crews got off about
1924, with Yale in the lead and both
rowing a steady even stroke. There
was little change in their positions un-
I'll near the mile when Stroke Bul Boil
ton Cutler of Harvard crew set the pace
of the sweep and the Harvard boat shot
out in the lead The crews OF Yale
maintained steady stroke and made
no effort to overcome Haryard's lead I'M
til within 200 yards of the finish line.
Then Stroke Meyer hit up the pace, and
the seven men in the Yale boat bending
their backs to the task, gave several
long quick sweeping strokes which shot
out their boat to the fore. Harvard had
shot her bolt and vain effort was made
to spuri, but Yale had the race in her
hand, and won by three quarters of a
boat length.
The Varsity four-oared race was the
next in order. The distance is two
miles. Yale won by lengths.

In Rnttlc with EAGLE.

Pottsyille. Pa, June 2S.-J. w.
Haywood, Is years old, was attacked by
an eagle while he was picking buckle
berries on Tumbling Run Mountain yes
terday. Haywood saw the huge bird
swoop down beside him and seize a rab-
bit in his lalons. The young man kicked
at the bird, which dropped the rabbit
and attacked him. Then he picked up
club and struck the bird several blows
Fne eagle in the first swoop at Haywood
clutched one side of his pail with its
talons and dashed it and the huckleber-
ries it contained to the ground. For
fifteen minutes the bird fought Hay
wood. 1t was knocked down twice, but
renewed the battle with vigor. When
the eagle finally flew away with blood
streaming from its badly battered head
Haywood was abo1t exhausted. The
youths face and hands were bruised
where the birds wings brushed him,
and his clothing was torn by its talons.

ThaW Declared Sane.

That Harry Kendall Thaw was SANE
when he murdered Stanford White, a.
declared by a board of eminent aienists;
that the architect still welded an inhu-
ence over tn, wife OF the Young million
aire and which she struggled to resist,
and that Whites constant pursuit ano
slurring criticisms of the beauty drove
Thaw to desperation, were the features
of the days development of the tragedy
on Madison Square Roof Garden in New
York Monday night.
Convinced that under the "unwritten
code" no jury in the world would con
Wet him 90 the evidence that will be
brought out, bis lawyers are preparing
to abandon the plea of insanity and in
sist upon a trial on the evidence. In
the event of a trial on the merits Of the
case revelations of such a startling ma
ture concerning the life of Stanford
White as to shock all New York, it is
said, must result His relations with
many Others besides Mrs. Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw will be revealed. Mrs Thaw
is determined to stand by her husband
throughout his present trouble, and she
will withhold nothing that might oper
ate to free him, even though she may
personally suffer from the revelation.
Whites private life is to be inyesti.
gated by the District Attorneys Office
in New York. Acting Districi Attorney
Mott said yesterday that he had sub.
poenaed several of the dead mans cIost ST
friends for the purpose of getting at the
truth of the reports about Whites life
that had been made public since he was
killed by Thaw. He minated that he
did not propose to allow the counsel for
rhaw to get a line on his case by reveal
ing the names of the persons he is to ex
anime about Whites alleged Bohemi an
career. 1t is evident by this determine
ton on the part of the District Attorneys
office to probe into Whites life not to
make it possible to arouse any false
sympathy for Thaw, based on the al
legged immoral life of Stanford White,
unless the investigation should prove
hey ond doubt that the allegations against
White are substantially true.
Former District Attorney Olcott yes
terday admitted that he had received
from Mrs. Thaw a number of letters
written to her by White. The letters
are, Mr.. Olcott said, Of very recent date
and show that the architect made siren
uous efforts to induce Mrs Thaw to de-
sert her husband and resume the rela-
tionship which she once bore to him.

Double Explosion.

New Brunswick, n. j., June 28.-
Eight persons were hurt by double ex-
plosion at the store and house of B.
Frank Samsel, at Sayreyille, a small
town 8 miles east Of here, last night.
About eight O'Clock NJ. Sam, ell struck a
match to light the big kerosene lamp in
front in the store, when the lamp ex-
plOded. The burning kerosene was
scattered in all directions. A second
explosion occurred which blew out the
front and side of the store. This was
caused, it is thought, by the explosion of
some fireworks which Mr. Samse had in
the centre Of the store and which must
have been set fire by the burning kero-
seue of the first explosion. The store
was completely wrecked. The proprietor
was badly burned and injured by flying
glass. Several other persons we're in
iured.

asking for a reduction of sentence on
the ground that their clients cannot
pay the $500 fine assessed against each
of them, that their business is suffering
because OF their incarceration aud that
the company of which they are mana
gers agrees to reduce the price of ice
from $40 to 1920 ton, thereby meeting
the requirement of the Court to make
restitution to their patrons. The Court
refused to release the two men on bond
pending action on the motion.

The pure food bill, emasculated to
hollow mockery came back from the
confe.ees yesterday afternoon, and will
now, probably, be accepted by both
Houses and signed by the President,
taking its place on the list of important
measures passed at this session, for
which the republicans will claim credit
on the stump this fall. Five of the most
essential sections of the bill we're strick-
en- out bodily by the conferees. These
are sections 9, 10, II, IL and IL. They
empowered the Secretary Of Agriculture
to fix standards of foods and drugs, Sc
cure samples of such goods placed on
the maket, seize misbrsnded and adulte-
rated articles, and imposed penalties for
resisting the authority of the Secretary.
As the bill now stands the Secretary is
practically shOrn of all effective admins
trative control of the food and drug
trades He can do nothing effective to
break up the manufacture or sale of mis-
branded or adulterated goods without
recourse to the courts. The admins
;rative officers charged with the enforce
ment of the law are practically left
without power to do so, except after their
acts have been reviewed by the courts
aud the latter have issued the necessary
mandates. Weeks, and probably
months, will often elapse after mis-
branded or adulterated article has been
placed on the market before the trade in
it can be broken up. The action of the
conferees in emasculating the bill is an-
Other instance OF the difficulty of getting
legislation that will project the whole
community against special interests that
have powerful friends in Congress.

TIE overthrow of the ice mOnopOlists

cipal communities will hardly fail to
take advantage 1t shows that the ice
trusts, the coal trusts, the gas trusts,
the street railway mOnOpolies and other
combinations are by no means so formid-
able as they look. Says the Philadel-
phia Record:
Instead of making pulling COM
plants over the unjust powers
welded by these combinations, the
part of wisdom is to resolutely attack
them and bring them under docile
obedience to the laws. People who
know and value their rights are more
than match for the most stupendous Of
monopolies. Great evils when seen
through popular mirage often diminish
