MOTHER OPPOSES
Her SONS WISH
Mrs. Thaw Will Consent to
appointment Of LunaCy
Commission
JEROME UP AGAINST WRIT

BY Our own Wire Publishers Press.
NEW YORK, July 1S.-Within the
week a commission will be appointed
10 inquire into the sanity Of Harry
Thaw for the purpose OF having him
declared insane and sent to the
asylum for the criminal insane at Mat
teawan. That is the wish strongly eX-
pressed by Mrs William Thaw, mother
OF Harry Thaw, after she had been
told that the weight Of evidence was
such as to preclude acquittal on the
ground OF justification. Former Judge
Olcott, whose law firm was dismissed
by Thaw on Saturday, explained to
Mrs. Thaw In much detail all the
features of the case and she asked him
to renew his connection with the case
and ask for the appointment Of a COM
mission. District Attorney Jerome is
in the South and though the friends
OF White are anxious TO avoid the air
ing Of any scandals and will make nc
protest against the appointment OF a
commission, II is thought that the dis
trict attorney will oppose such a move
lby Judge Olcott.
Thaw Yet Objects.
Harry Thaw was greatly exercised
over the report that a commission was
to be appointed II the district at
ltorney would consent. He declared
that he was sane and that his new
/ counsel. Clifford Hartridge, and no on'
else. had a right to make any move
/ in his defense. but Hartridge. WheI
a motion is made for the appointment
of such a commission Hartridge, al
counsel for Thaw. will be in a verl
strong position to oppose the move
AS counsel for Thaw his position 81
far as his client is concerned Is virtu
ally supreme before the court. Tn
fact. however, that Mrs. Thaw hold
the purse strings gives Judge Olcot
strong hand In the play for the ap
pointment of a commission. Mean
while the District Attorneys Office
tied hand and feet by the writ o
prohibition obtained by Thaws ney
counsel yesterday which compels III
prosecution to show cause why tn
district attorney should not cease ex
amining witnesses In lie Thaw case
Clifford Hartridge was not presen
at the conference Of Mrs William
Thaw. Louis Delafeld and Forme
Judge Olcott yesterday. Mrs. Than
has taken no notice OF Harridges ap
pearance in the case.

RULES ARE HELD BACK.
Secretary Wilson Delays Action to
Hear Live Stock Men.

Washington. D. c., July 26-The pro-
mitigation of the new meat inspection
rules by Secretary Wilson has been de-
layed upon the request of the Live
Stock association, which has asked
that one of it's representatives be
heard in regard to certain changes the
department of agriculture has decided
to make. This representative will ap-
pear today, and by Friday the rules
will be issued. :.
Regarding the effect of the new pure
food law upon imported meats, such as
German sausages, wild boars' heads,
smoked duck breasts. pate de foie
gras. etc, the agricultural department
states it is mistake to say the pure
food law will end the importation of
such articles.
The import law under which the
treasury department has been working
for more than a year expressly forbids
the Importation of doctored, colored,
and misbranded foodstuffs. The new
law will stop the misbranding of do.
nestle foodstuffs, many Of which are
manufactured in Chicago and other
points, and sold under foreign label.
