fairs. advised the Brazilian charge in

BILE today, that the third Pan-Ameri-
can conference at Rio Janeiro will be
formally opened at s o'clock Monday even
ing, July %.
The opening was to have been today,
but because of the lateness of the ar
rival of the seamer Byron. which car
rled the. American delegation and the
representatives OF number Of other
countries, it is assumed that the delay
of two days was thought necessary.
In his dispatch to the embassy in this
city, Baron Rio Branco said great pre-
parations are being made for the re-
ception of Secretary Root, who is expect
ed in Rio Janeiro ON July %. Several
thousands of Brazilian students will lead
the demonstration in honor of the Amer
lean secretary of state.
The presidents palace in Petropolls, the
summer capital in the mountains near
Rio de Janeiro, will be at Mr.. Root s
disposal, and while in Rio Janeiro he
will be entertained In the famous Alb

enee of Brazil and was afterwards oc-

5000 MEN WANT TO
BE MEAT INSPECTORS
SECRETARY WILSON NEEDS 500
IMMEDIATELY, AND OTHERS
WHO PASS EXAMINATIONS WILL
BE PUT ON RESERVE LIST.

Washington, July 21.-Applicants for
positions as meat inspectors were ex-
amined today in 1893 cities of the country.
The examination was conducted by the
Civil Service commission, and approxi-
mately 1900 men struggled with problems
of good meat and bad. OF the whole
number of men who took the examination
perhaps only 500 will be needed i'm
mediately 1t is expected by Secretary
Wilson that he will have no serious diff
ficu1ty- in securing from among those who
were examined today the requisite num-
ber of competent inspectors. A consider
able proportion of those who took the
examination, probably, will pass. but the
selection for immediate service will be
made from among those having the high
est average. Those who pass will be
placed on the eligible list and may be
called into service later.
Secretary Wilson expects to have his
force of inspectors ready to begin work
by August 1.
The rules governing the work of inspec-
tion under the new law will probably be
promulgated on Tuesday next.

NEW LIGHT ON MURDER BY
MOTHER OF THAW'S WIFE

to sign an affidavit to the erect that
he. Thaw. had never intended to make
Evelyn his wife.
It appears that Thaw became aware
of the fact that White had been appealed
to by Mrs Nesbit now Mrs. Holman,
and that the architect knew of the quar-
rels between Thaw and his present wife,
also that Evelyn had told her step
father that she was not married to Harry
Thaw at the time they arrived from
Europe and We're driven out of the Hotel
Cumberland
Thaw at that time had given a state
ment which was afterwards corroborated
from Pttsburg that he and Evelyn had
been married while in Europe. Thaw
knew that White was the only person
not of his family who knew that this
statement was false and that Thaw did
not marry his present wife until months
later In Pittsburg.
Just what disposition is to be made OF
these letters is not known at present.
The letters are kept In safe, and it
may be that they win be produced If
Thaw should ever be placed on trial for
murder. and Mrs. Nesbit-Holman should
become witness.
District Attorney Jerome is anxious
that Mrs. Holman come to New York
that she may be served with a sub
poena to appear at the trial. If she does
she will be crdoss-exanined most severe
1y and questioned as to how, among other
things, she came to apply to White for
financial aid.
