New York, July 17.-The committee
of trustees of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance company appointed to nominate
a new board of trustees TO be voted for
at the annual meeting of the COM
pany in December. made its final re-
port today, and in doing so disclosed
the fact that Henry II. Rogers aud
William Rockefeller had Withdrawn
from further connection with that
board. In seeking from President
Peabody the cause of this action ON
the part of the Standard oil interests,
Mr.. Peabody gave out personal letter
from Mr. Rogers, on which he said 1e
would make no comment. In this let
tel Mr.. Rogers said:
when the troubles came upon the
company, felt 1t my duty as trustee
to stand by and do anything l could
of service to my fellow members ami
the pollcyholders. / believe | have
rendered some assistance.
THE statement has frequently been
made that l caused your election 40
the presidency of the Mutual COM
pany. no one knows better than you
how false this is. Aside from the
relations of Mr.. Rockefeller and my
self as policyholders and trustees,
neither the Standard Oil company nor
anyone occupying an official position
in that corporation has in the slightest
degree had any business or other re-
lations with the Mutual Life conf
pany."
From a source of Information that
should be authoritative, 1t was learned
that President Peabody would not be
candidate for reelection in the
sense that he would make any effort
to succeed himself.

New York, July 1.-THE defense in
the case of Harry X. Thaw, accused of
the murder of Stanford White, made
an unusual and unexpected move to-
day when a writ of prohibition was
secured from Justice Blanchard in
the supreme court restraining the dis.
trict attorney and the July grand jury
from taking any further evidence
against the prisoner Application for
the writ was made by John b. Glea-
son, of counsel for Thaw, and the or
be continued was made returnable to-
morrow. At that time the district at
torneyy office will request an adjourn
ment of the matter because of the
absence from the city of Mr.. Jerome
and his assistant, Mr.. Garvin.
Counsel for Thaw allege that
through the illegal use of grand Jury
subpoenas the district attorney has
summoned all possible witnesses in
the case to his office, putting them
under oath there and taking deposit
prisoners interest. 1t is further al
legged that as Thaw is already under
indictment, and no new indictment
for the murder of White is contem-
plated, the district attorney has no
right to use the grand jury as a cloak
for his own inquisition.
Every person who can appear as
witness in the case, fortv-seven Of
them, have been sworn by the district
attorney, 1t is ascertained, and depo.

Government Sends Large Force Of
COSsacks Which Fails to Subdue
Rioters in Rural Districts.

ST. Petersburg, July 17.-Threats of
police strike nearly caused panic
here today and though the strike has
been postponed, the danger cannot be
said to have entirely passed.
The ostensible basis of the police
discomfort is monetary, including the
accounting of the mems saving fund
for which, it Is alleged they have
not been allowed interest. The au-
thorities, however, declare that the
strike is inspired by agitators.
The gendarmes of the first district
this morning refused to go on their
beats until the authorities assured
them that their money would be paid
with full interest.
Notwithstanding the efforts OF the
police officials to quiet their fears,
the people are in terror lest the law
less elements abounding here shoul
take advantage of the situation.
