Another Plausible Motive for

New and important evidence providing
plausible motive for the killing o
Stanford White has lately come int,
District Attorney Jerome's possession
The inkling of the facts was conveye'
to the district attorney indirectly frou

who is the husband OF Anna Held ans
who is at present living in Paris. The
story is that Mr.. White sent note ans
q basket OF flowers to Mrs. Evelyn Mes.
bit Thaw the afternoon of the shooting
and that the tragedy grew out Of the
thoughtless mischief of three chorus
girls.
Mr.. Ziegfeld met one of his New York
theatrical friends in a railroad station
in Paris little while ago and the con-
versation drifted to the Thaw tragedy.
Mr.. Ziegfeld expressed surprise that the
authorities had not yet got hold of eyi-
dence which would 60 long way to-
ward celaring up the mystery hereto
fore cloaking the motive of Thaw.
"The tragedy occurred some days prior
to my last trip from America" +"
said Mr.. Ziegfeld, "and l was aware of
it on my way over. 1t was the prn-
cipal subject of conversation on deck
and at table. Among the passengers was
a young woman very well known to the
amusement loving New York public, who
was prominent member Of the chorus
in one Of my productions. Naturally we
chatted and the Thaw tragedy was
touched upon. / found that she knew
something which the district Attorney
would give great deal to know.
"She told me that she accompanied
two other members of my old company
to pay a farewell visit to Mr.. White In
the tower Of Madison Square Garden
the night prior to Mr.. Whites death.
They were to sail in few days. Mr..
White was not there, and as they were
leaving the place an attendant asked
what names he should report to Mr..
White as those Of his visitors.
"f0h,' said one of the girls laughing,
You need only say that Mrs. Harry
Thaw called
"They departed and pictured to them
selves dozen funny denouements which
might arise out of Mrs. Thaw's vicarious
call. Next day Mr.. White, according 20
this girl, sent neat little note to Mrs.
Thaw, expressing his regret at his abb
sence at the time of her call and dis
patched basket of roses to her address.
My informant believed that Thaw saw
the roses, read the card attached and
perhaps read the note which accompanied
them."
1t is known that this young woman is
now in New York, having returned, it is
said, at the request of Mr.. Jerome. It
is believed she will be one of the most
important witnesses for the people.

Americans who seek to do business

variety of peculation-appropT of

all manufacturers who have any
thought of exporting goods to Cuba.
If they do not Immediately register

Spectators are using the trade

the manufacturer CT the genuine arti-
Gle when he enters the Cuban market
finds himself compelled to buy out the
speculator if he wishes to market his
wares under the proper name. When
the Spectator registers a trademark
he has a hold on the American manu-
facturer, and he may demand and col
lect any price.
In some instances spectators hold

cans protect thor selves by paying the
