UNPRECEDENTED ACTION.
ofsciai Report Of 8iaIystok Riot Sent
Foreign Countries.

st. Petersburg. July 10.-Interior
Minister Stolypin has sent American
Ambassador Meyer and the represen-
tatives of other countries the govern
ment's report Of the Bialystok rioting
for transmission to their respective
governments.
While this unprecedented action on
the part OF the Russian government
does not involve recognition of the
right Of foreign countries to make
representations regarding the internal
affairs of the empire 1t is distinct
recognition OF the power of public
opinion abroad and indicates the solici-
tuds Of foreign governments to know
the Russian side OF the case. The re-
port is practically identical with that
submitted by M. Stolypin to parlia'
ment.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY ACTIVE IN
SECURING TESTIMONY IN
WHITE MURDER CASE.
FRIEND or EVELYN NEoDiT De.
FORE HER MARRIAGE GIVES
MUCH INFORMATION.

New York, July 10.--The investiga-
tion OF the district attorneys Office to
discover the motive for the killing Of
Stanford White by Harry Thaw is
bringing to the Office of the prosecutor
many young women of the stage. The
Broadway theatrical district has been
flooded with subpoenaes. Many chorus
girls have left the city and others
remain at their homes to avoid sub
poenae servers. Two young women
whom the district attorneys Office has
been particularly eager to interview
are Miss Paula Desmond and Miss
Gertie Grant. 1t is alleged that these
young women were followed and an.
noyed by detectives who had been EN-.
ployed to watch White.
Paula Desmond, whose real name
II Pauline Kellerman. Ii now at her
home In Kingston. N. r., and repre-
sentative Of the district attorneys Of
0ce has gone there to zee her.
Both Miss Grant and Miss Desmond
are known to have been friends of
Stanford White. The activity Of the
district attorneys Office In running
down all clues In the theatrical dis
trict Is largely due to the story told
Assistant District Attorney Garvan by
Edna Mcclure. show girl. and for
mer friend OF Mrs. Thaw.
Miss Mcclure said that when Eve
lyn Nesbit was In the wild Rose"
company both Stanford White and
Harry Thaw were pursuing her. There
were two cabs at the stage door for
her every might and two lunches Of
flowers. White won at that time and
he took the girl from the stage and
sent her to school in Pompton. N. j.
She was taken Ill while there and un-
derwent an operation. Then White
sent her and her mother to Europe.
Thaw Follows Her Abroad.
Harry Thaw learned OF this and
went abroad He met the girl In
Paris and Evelyn went with him,
leaving Mrs. Holman, the girls moth
or, penniless In Paris. She had to
cable White for money to get home
Evelyn tired Of Thaw's conduct and
left him. When she got home she
went to Stanford White and told him
of the treatment to which she had
been subjected by Thaw. White then
took her to his attorney and had her
draw up the affldavit which Is now SO
badly wanted by the prosecution.
Thaw followed her home and after
some time she re1oined him and they
went abroad together.
Miss Mcclure said Evelyn was on
the point of leaving Thaw after q bit
ter quarrel when he offered marriage
to her. Miss Mcclure also told the
assistant district attorney that while
entertaining a number OF guests In a
Broadway restaurant one night Thaw
saw Stanford White enter the place.
He began to abuse White, says Miss
Mcclure, and said to his wife:
There goes that blackguard now
that owned you before dld?"
Mrs. Thaw is reported to have an.
swered:
"Stop raking up my past. Harry.
That brute over there is responsible
Go to him about It.
Il WILL" Thaw says. "I'll get him
yet"
The district attorneys once also Is
searching for William Sturgis. q close
friend OF Harry X. Thaw. who has dis
appeared sinse the tragedy. It IL re-
ported that Sturgis had heard Thaw
make threats against Stanford White.

American with that of the Russian

that we have to rejoice in our good
fortune in being the descendants of
heroic sires who preferred death to
slavery.
Our government is as good as we
make it, and no worse than we allow
it to be. Our frequent elections per-
nit us to speedily correct errors and
mistakes that may be made. And if
we are so blinded by partisan bias
or prejudice that we fail to inform
ourselves upon the issues involved
in an election, it is evidence of in

ing upon us bears upon the majority
of our people. The predatory inter
ests represent only small minority
of the whole people. Hence every in
equality and injustice inflicted upon
us by law are self inflicted because
the minority have no power to Cypress
the majority in a popular government
like ours. While we remain intel
lectual slaves We cannot enjoy the
good gifts of the Creator that are ours
for the taking, because through ignor-

mental shackels that enslave us and
act as it becomes free men to act.
