life OF stanford White and upon his
alleged pursuit OF Mrs. Thaw after her

While the defense is willing and APP
parently anxious that the trial should
begin at the earliest possible moment.
there Is hardly any possibility that II
can take place before October.
One OF the most interesting deyel'
opmentr in the case was the statement
in an afternoon paper that White, in
stead OF being, as was generally sup
posed. man OF great wealth. in fact,
owed 100000 TO one young member OF
a prominent family. and more 20 other
persons. and had so greatly overdrawn
his personal account with the firm OF
architects Of which he was a member.
that he was notified he could draw no
more. but must be content with GER.
tain fixed weekly allowance.
Mrs. Thaw had another long confer.
ence with her husbands counsel. du.
which she Is said 10 have related at
length her life history, especially that
portion pertaining 10 her acquaintance
with White prior 10 her marriage.

Martin on the evening OF the tragedy.
and Truxton Beale, who was with Mr..
White and his party in the restaurant

SEATTLE MAN JOINS TRIBE.
T.. S. Curtis, Photographer, Initiated
Into Hopi "Order of Snakes"

Edward S. Curtis of Seattle, has re-
turned from Arizona, where he spent
five months with the Apaches and the
Hopi Indians, says a correspondent
at Seattle.
To Curtis belongs the distinction of
being the first white man that ever
went through the nine day and night
secret ceremonies by which the novi-
tiate is made a member of the Snake
Order
This order is undoubtedly the most
ancient organization among the orig
inal inhabitants of America. For
nine days and nights Mr. Curtis re-
mained with the Hopi Indians in an
lily ventilated underground cell.
where the mysterious rites and prac-
tices of the Snake order were cele-
brated. At the end of the period,
during which there was much fasting,
Mr.. Curtis was proclaimed a brother
In full standing with the other men,
bers of this order and an adopted son
of the chief high priest.
Curtis experiences in this regard
have probably never before been du-
plicated by a white man. Naturally
he declines to reveal the secrets of the
order, which he says is one held in re-
ligious veneration by the Indians. The
ceremony is the greatest of the primi'
tive ceremonies of the original inhab'
itants of the western hemisphere. II
is thousands of centuries old.
The initiation consists partly ir
staying in a den of snakes, all poison
Gus and all with fangs.
