life of Harry K. Thaw from his birth to his incarceration in the Tombs, New York, for the killing of Stanford White. All of Thaws alleged pecu- liarities from birth to manhood are being lookedd up and it is said to be the intention to secure every iota of information relative to his character and disposition. x.
 It is declared that Thaw's COD 6 sei have not decided upon what S of defense they will follow and y 2 discoveries made by the dete, es will figure largely in making v the minds of the attorneys.
 Hon. David T. Watson. t' vPitts- burg attorney. who is now in ngland, will leave this week and will likely go direct to New York and consult with Thaw's counsel there.
 Relatives of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw in this neighborhood are not disposed to discuss the testimony given to the New York authorities by Edna Me- Ciure and others concerning the rcia- tions which existed between Thaw, his wife and White from the time that Thaw first met his wife. Mrs. c. J. Holman. the mother of Mrs. Thaw, 1t was said today. has nothing to give out in connection with the case.
 The reports that the New York au- thorities do not know where to find Howard Nesbit. the brother of Mrs. Thaw, if they should desire his testi- mony. are said to be without founda- tion. The young man is at home and says no mystery has been made as to his whereabouts.

 the Conspiracy. D. F. French, John smith, John Abner and Tom White Also Are Accused --ERort to Hire Asbury
 spicer.
ATTORNEY TOUETTSSTATEMENT

Beattyville, Ky, July e.--At tho con- vening of court this morning, B. E.. Jouett made the opening statement for the Commonwealth in the Hargis-Cal- iahan case for the assassination of ]. B. Marcum. He implicated in the con- spiracy in addition to Jim Hargis and Ed. Callahan, D. F. French. John Smith. John Abner and Tom White.
 One incident which he promised to prove was a plot for Tom White to shoot Marcum with a shot gun as he passed Hargis's store. Marcum passed by holding his baby in his arms. Whi;.. he said. was upbraided for not shoot ing and replied that he did not want to kill the baby. Hargis is quoted as saying: You ought to send the brat to hell with its daddy"
 He promised 10 prove by James Mann and Asbury Sptcer that Hargis tried to get them to kill Marcum. agreeing to give spicer $500 to do the work. Hargis feared that Marcum would ba acquitted of libel charge and Jett nd White were given their final orders for the actual assassination in the cosrt house door, Hargis and Callahan iook- ing on from in front.
 He was followed by J. J. c. Bach. on behalf of the defense
 Ten witnesses. most Of them of minor importance, were examined during the day. The testimony was punctnated by numerous objections by the defense which scored several times.
 The most notable ruling In favor of the prisoners was the exclusion Of tes- timony supporting the claim that Mese Feltner. orc of the States principal witnesses, had been offered brlbes to absent himself from the State during the trial of Mrs. Marcum's damage suit against the alleged slayers of her hus- band. Judge Dorsey also ruled against the admission as evidence of the in- dietment for libel secured by Hargis against Marcum. Marcum was assassi- mated one week before the date set for his trial on the indictment.

A Great Gathering

The Anti-Saloon League meeting held
in the auditorium of the Y M. G. A. of
Chicago last fall, and addressed by Ma
tional Superintendent Baker, was per-
haps the greatest meeting of it's kind
ever held within the bounds of the state
of Illinois. This meeting has become an
annual affair and will be held this coming
fall on Monday, September TO- at 1920
This year the meeting will be addressed
by e. S. Chapman of Los Angeles, at
which time he will deliver his great
address, "The Czolgoz of the Nation"
DR.. Chapman delivered this address re-
Gently in Los Angeles to a great gather
ing of the ministry and laity of the city.
no speech has ever been delivered in
that city, famous for it's conventions,
that created the sensation and public
comment that this address created. At
the close of his address at the national
convention at Columbus, year ago last
fall, he was rendered one of the greatest
ovations ever rendered public speaker.
1t is source of great qualification that
the League of the state Of Illinois has
been able to secure Dr. Chapman for
this occasion. All the ministers meet
ings of Chicago have adjourned their
services and are going to unite to make
this the greatest temperance meeting
ever held in the state.

TROUBLE ON OREGON RANGE
clash Between shsspmsn on Wsnaha
Reserve.

Trouble between Oregon sheepmen
over the division of range. took Chief
Ranger Schmitz to the Wenaha forest
reserve in post haste Monday to settle
the difficulties that threatened for a
time, 1t Is said. to end in bloodshed,
says the Walla Walla Statesman.
Ranger Schmitz returned to Walla
Walla yesterday and this morning said
the difficulties had been satisfactorily
adjusted to all parties concerned.
THE trouble arose between WAL
Iowa and Umatilla county sheepmen
over the division of the range on the
other side of the mountains but did
not amount to anything serious"
Chief Ranger Schmitx said this morn
Ing: These little clashes frequently
come up and are due more to the fact
that the sheepmen are not fully ia
miliar with the territory allotted them,
than anything else.
"As whole. we have had very little
trouble. We have had five rangers in
the Wenaha reserve this year. They
are continually on the move, visiting
the sheep and cattle camps and ranges
to see that the allotments made last
December are fully observed"
