ly arranging on a program, as the European

tions.
Mr., Bartholdt who is president of the
United States delegation, said:
THE most important matter to come be-
fore the conference is the report of the
commission appointed at the Brussels ses-
sion last August to consider my motion for
the establishment of an international con-
gress with al least advising powers and
perhaps with a slight sphere of actual au-
thority The commission was composed of
some of Europe'S most eminent statesmen
Its president is Sir Philip Stanhope who
was recently elevated to the peerage by the
new government of Great Britain on ac-
count of his distinguished services to his
country and to the world
Sir Philip stanhope to Preside.
Sir Philip under his new title, Lord
Weardale, will preside over this memorable
session of the union.
The French member of the commission is
Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, who has
great influence In the upper house of the
French parliament. He is organizing an in
ternational civic federation, containing the
leading men from every department of life
in every nation. This organization has
branch in twenty-one nations and It will
soon be established in every nation. ready
to bring its powerful support to the plans
approved by the interparlamentary union
The Hungarian member of the commits

enceS be held annually.
The effect of this resolution, passed at
Paris In 1889, was to convert that confer
ence into permanent body, which took the
name of the tnterparliamentary union, and
by reason of its periodic and automatic
assembling, has grown in seventeen years
into powerful body containing over 1900
national lawmakers.

Objection to the w rit.

Mr. Taylor said:
How Thaw can be hurt by any proceed
ings of the district attorney l cannot see,
as he is now in the Tombs under an in
dictment, and the only fact appearing in
the complaint which seems a fact is that q
subpoena was served on Nellie Leahy, but
1t does not appear to have anything to do
with the Thaw matter.
Nellie Leahy would not be entitled to a
writ of prohibition, but could have tie
matter dealt with If she declined to obey
the subpoena .
John D. Gleason of counsel for Thaw
asked for a postponement, and said the as
sistant district attorney had agreed to IT
before going into court The hearing was
then put over.
Thaw spent restless night in the Tombs
and today showed marked irritability and
nervousness. 1t is believed what he had
read in the newspapers of the conflict of
counsel, those retained by his mother and
those retained by himself for personal rea-
sons had upset him. Clifford w. Hart
ridge, the lawyer Thaw retained after dis
continuing the services of William NJ. X.
Olcott was in consultation with Thaw for
an hour today. Contrary to her custom,
Thaws wife remained with him only few
minutes today. She usually remains an
hour.
The prisoners mother, Mrs William
Thaw, accompanied by his sister, Mrs.
George l.. Carnegie, visited Thaw at the
Tombs again today A large crowd was as
sembled to get a glimpse of them. The
prisoner seemed very glad to meet them
both, and a very affecting scene took place.
On their arrival Thaw lost the air of eX-
ctement he had worn in the early morn
ing.
Mrs Thaw and Mrs Carnegie remained
at Harry Thaw's cell as long as the prison
rules permitted. 1t was reported about the
Tombs after she left that Mrs. Thaw re-
sproa ched her son for dismissinS Mr.. Olcott
and insisted that he should continue to act
as Thaws counsel. and that stormy IN
teryiew resulted, in which Thaw maintained
that he had acted wisely in the dismissal
There were tears in Mrs. Thaw's eyes when
she left the prison The services of twenty
five policemen were needed to make pas
sage for her to her carriage.
Shortly after noon Mrs William ThaW re-
turned to the Tombs prison and seemed 10
be laboring under much excitement. In an
agitated manner she begged the warden
for permission to visit her son again, re-
peatedly declaring that it was OF the ut
most Importance The warden consented,
and she was escorted to his cell.

IGoRRoTEs' STORY DENIED.
Manager of Filipinos Says He is Vic
tim Of Lies.

CHICAGO, July 1s.-Dr. Truman H. Hunt
who for some time has been in charge OF
a number Of Igorrotes who have been CIV
ing exhibitions in various local amuse-
ment parks. was today brought into the
federal court to answer a writ Of habeas
corpus on behalf OF the Igorrotes to de-
termine whether or not they should be

THAW MURDER CASE
TODAY'S HEARING ADJOURNED
UNTIL TOMORROW.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Justice Mclean
adjourned until tomorrow the hearing on
the writ of injunction obtained yesterday
by counsel for Harry K. Thaw to prevent
District Attorney Jerome and the grand
jury from examining further witnesses IN
the Thaw murder case.
The court yesterday ordered the district
attorney to show cause why the writ of
prohibition should not be made permanent
and today's hearing was to have decided
whether or not 1t should continue in force.
During discussion in court prior to the
postponement Assistant District Attorney
Taylor objected to the writ a technical
ground that 1t was not directed to a court
nor an inferior tribunal but withdrew his
objection when informed that it was di
rected to the court of general sessions.
