.THAW'S MOTHER
IN CHARGE Of
DEFENSE.
Re-engages Counsel Released
by White S Slayer and De-
clares for Insanity Plea
PATHETIC REUNION
IN TOMBS PRISON
Presence Of Daughter-in-L
Ignored by Parent Of Man
Awaiting Trial for Murder


NEW YORK. July 16.-Immediately
following her interview with her son,
Harry K. Thaw, in the Tombs today,
Mrs. William Thaw assumed full
charge of the defense and arranged
to retain the services as counsel OF
the firm of Black. Olcott, Gruber &
Bonynge, who were dismissed by young
Thaw a few days ago. This action is
taken to mean that Harry Thaw's de-
sires and opinions regarding the de-
fense will be ignored and reliance will
be placed upon the plea of insanity,
insistence upon which by Olcott re-
suited in the rupture between himself
and his client.
The meeting between Mrs. Thaw and
her son in the Tombs was an affecting
one. After the first greeting they were
left alone together to converse through
the bars of the cell for half an hour
During the interview the prisoners
wife stood in silence in the corridor
a few feet away from the cell door,
awaiting her turn to speak with her
husband. No words were exchanged
between Mrs Thaw and her daughter
law
Mrs Thaw was met at the prison
door by the warden, who told her in
an apologetic way that 1t would be
necessary for her to comply with the
prison rule that all visitors must be
searched. She retired 70 the room of
the Tombs matron, where the rule was
complied with.
On Mrs Thaw's arrival at the cell
Keeper John Smith saw that she was
somewhat feeble and opened the door
of Thaw's cell to get stool on which
she might sit during the interview.
The mother, not knowing the rules OF
the prison, upon seeing the door opened
rushed forward. In an instant both
her arms were clasped around the neck
of her son, while he, with bent head.
clasped his mother to his breast Tears
streamed from the eyes of both Then
ensued a few minutes silence, broken
only by the mothers cry of tMy boy.
My boy
Keeper Smith stood with his back
turned for a short time and then in
formed Mrs. Thaw that the prison rules
allowed visitors to talk to prisoners
only with bars separating them. The
mother stepped out of the cell, while
Smith shut the door and turned the
key once more on Thaw
A small stool was placed in front of
the cell and Mrs. Thaw seated herself
and continued talking to her son for a
half hour. She then kissed him
through the iron bars and was taken
downstairs. where she was joined by
Josiah Thaw, who had been waiting for
her in the consulting room.

him to the mountain. hoping to head
off the regular train at King-street
crossing.
At King street the track machine
started over the rails just as the local

AWAITED HIS SON.

The local train, composed of one en-
gine and a car. was in charge of Con-
ductor Howard Folker, with Engineer
Bonner Whitcomb at the throttle. It
left with passengers for Blythedale on
arrival of the North Shore train at
Mill Valley. Emerson warfeld was not
on the train at the latter place, and as
the general had missed it by waiting
for his son, he begged BEN to take
him up the mountain. His idea was
TO make g-street siding before the
local train returned, instead of waiting
till the train returned to Mill Valley.
They met the returning train one mile
from Mil Valley station at sharp
curve Benz then saw that collision
could not be avoided. and he shouted to
the general to jump. at the same time

prehension of damage to the wheat crop by the cold weather. Some of the earnings reported by railroads made a very favorable showing, partly owing to the fact that the fourth week of January this year has only one Sunday compared With two in the last week of last year. Southern Railway reported an increase in gross earnings for that period of S1 per cent, Chicago Great Western 26 per cent, Colorado South ern 21 per cent, for the month of January, Great Northern 2S per cent, and Illinois Central per cent. The regular dividend on Canadian Pacific disappointed some speculative holders who sold the stock, with consequent weakness The price of copper was lower both in London and here, but Amalgamated Copper was moved in concert with the rest of the market.

IESTERDAY'S STOCK MARKET
Further Convincing Proof of Lapse Into
 Professional Hands.

New York, Feb 6.-The stock mar ket gave further convincing evidence to-day of it's lapse into the hands of professional operators of the smaller class. It was evident that transac- tions originated for the most part with in the walls of the exchange. The in- clination was to close up transactions during the day, the result being a later retracing of earlier advances. The sales were below the million share mark, thus putting an end to a series of one to one and half million shares days, extending without Interruption back to the first week in December. The narrow dimensions of the market de- prived it of any great significance in its bearings on large conditions. The re- covery which set in during the later part of yesterday was continued, but the demand became more languid as the advance made progress, and hes itating tone developed at the higher levels. Such activity as there was cen tered largely in special stocks, and the strength shown by these had notable sympathetic effect on the general list The Hill railroads once more rose not ably on the repetition of long familiar rumors of the disposal of Great North ern's iron ore lands on advantageous terms to the United States Steel corpor- ation, the common stock of the latter sharing i'll their strength. Union Paci- fic showed its usual benefit from rise in price in Great Northern preferred. It was also affected by the conspicu- CHS advance in Illinois Central which was attributed to the rumors of ab- sorption ln the interest of Union Pa cidc. A widespread effect in the mar ket radiated from these particular movements. Reading was another con- spiclous feature, and it's sharp rebound wasdue to some subsistence of the acute apprehsnalon felt yesterday regarding genelal strike in the coal trade.
 The severe winter weather as being seasonable was expected to rectify s0meof ne slackened demand in mer- cant,le lines, and the action of the wheat market failed to show any ap4

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
4 BETTER FEELING WITH TRAD
 ING QUIET.
Leading Issues Pick UP q Little but Reacted Near CIose-Big Railroad Earnings-GOssip.

Stocks were rather quiet again yes. terday a little better prevailed and there was good buying. Prices picked up little during the day, but fell off a trifle near the close.
 The further reports of big railroad earnings seemed to have been discon- tinued.
 Half dozen lines in different sections of the country gained all the way from 15 to 40 per cent. gross last week. The increase was most marked on the Southern lines. The Southern Railway increased $362013, or 25 per cent; Louisville and Nashville, $22,S40, or 22 per cent. and Mobile and Ohio, 64,915, or 40 per cent. Texas Pacific gained $75,- -S69; Chicago Great Western gs5G, ,29S, a 90 per cent. gain, and Colorado Southern, $49, 705, an improvement of 20 per cent. over last January. The two roads giv- ing the first full reports for January were Illinois Central and Great North ern. The total of the former was S4,- $420,000 gain, and that of the latter Sf00,O00 over l90o, and $l,04UUO over 1904.
 Illinois Central stock Is held by a great many individuals, trustees and estates. Purchase of control would be a difficult matter unless very high prices were offered, and Hartman buy ing of the stock is, it is believed, to strengthen to hold on the property. While there may be an ultimate Union Pacific-Illinois Central merger such a merger is not immediate
 The continued strength of Rock Is- land was generally associated with the plans to sell the new bonds. The com pany's earnings for some weeks past have justified ti1e claims made by it's officials that improvement may be look ed for from that time on.
