PROMINENT MEN GO FREE
United States District Court Dismisses
indictments Against Several
Railway Officials
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Judge Holt, in
the United States supreme court, today
handed down an opinion, the effect of
which is to dismiss the indictments
found against Nathan Guilford, vice
president, and C. F. S. Pomeroy, traffic
manager of the New York Central, and
C. f. Edgar and Ewin Earle, the latter
sugar merchants of Detroit. charging
them with conspiracy to violate the
provisions of the Elkins rebating act,
punishable by imprisonment.
The court however holds that the
indictments against the New York Cen
trail road, Guilford and Pomeroy, found
under the Elkns act, are good, and sus-
tains them so far as they are punish
able by fine.
The American Sugar Refining com
panty, Jointly indicted with the New
York Central, pleaded not guilty, but
interposed no demurrer to the indict-
ment, preferring evidently to stand
trial under the indictments as returned

TACOMA, Wash, July 6.-Amid
waves which are still boiling from the
heat of a violent submarine eruption, a
new island lifts its rocky crest above
the sea near Boroslov island, Alaska,
which was thrown UP by an eruption
one hundred years ago.
The infant island presents superficial
area of several acres and with Boros-
low and another small island which rose
from submarine depths in 1882, forms
points of a small triangle about seventy
miles west of Unalaska
The news was brought to Unalaska
by fishermen who were unable to ap-
proach the island because the water
surrounding 1t was stll seething from
the heat. indicating that it's upheaval
was of recent occurrence.
When observers attempted to ap-

BABY FALLS FOUR

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, July 6.-"Koo-Goo- Goo, "
gurgled baby Providence Blanda, as
she waved her little arms and tried to
tell the gathering crowd how it felt to
fall four stories and alight unhurt,
comfortably seated on the hard ce-
ment sidewalk.
When neighbors who had heard of
the accident came to the Blanda home
today to help the mother make ar
rangements for the funeral, they were
amazed to see the 14-months-old baby
prattling to herself in one corner of
the room.
Leonard Warner, two years of age,
floated from a third-story window on
a window screen today. The right arm
of the child was wrenched, but this
was the only injury.
The baby was trying to catch a noisy
blue fly that had flowen against the
screen. He leaned against it and fell.
The boy, lying on the screen, alighted
on the sidewalk without change of
position.

THAW'S MOTHER
SAILS FOR HOME
WILL MAKE EFFORT TO SAVE
SON FROM "CHAIR"
SPECIAL to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, July 5.-The fact than
Mrs. William Thaw, mother Of Harry
Thaw, sailed from London today for
New York to assist personally in saw
ing her son from the electric chair.
may be accepted as an indication of a
serious turn in the case against Thaw.
In other words it may be taken for
granted that able lawyers in charge of
Thaw's case have realized that in de-
Tending their client they must resort
even to that old but effective exped-
lent, the spectacle of devoted mother
sitting in court beside her accused
son.
1t is understood Thaw's wife will also
flank him as he sits in court. The
whole case promises, when 1t comes to
trlal, to be q remarkable melodrama
affair, with Former Governor Black.
who saved Roland Molineux from the
electric chair, occupying the center of
the stage.
Thaw was informed today that his
mother was coming to New York, and
naturally he did not like it, for now in
the cold gray dawn of the morning
after he realizes his affairs are not
the kind of things for good woman
like his mother to mix in
lie insisted that she remain abroad
but Thaw is now for the first time in
his life in situation where he cannot
have his own way, and very much
amazed young man he is in conse-
quence.
Fear Of BIackmaiIing Plots
1t is understood the district attorney
was Informed today of several aston
ishing blackmailing plots of which
Stanford White was a victim.
Mothers of at least three young stage
beauties who attracted Whites atten-
tion wrung big sums of money out of
him by threatening to prosecute
In one or two instances White was
compelled to make additional payments
at regular intervals on pain of being
publicly accused if he refused to be
mulcted
In addition, it is said, numbers of
polite and well dressed panhandlers of
the tenderloin had come to regard
White as their "meal ticket"
White was always willing, so it is
said, to seal with a handful Of bills the
lips of any theater hanger-on who knew
too much.
Hawkshaw War Goes On
Meanwhile a merry war of Hawk
shaws goes on, to the great discomfort
of every one related to or friendly with
! either Thaw or White.
Thaw seems to have the advantage of
numbers, having employed four de-
| tective agencies.
| There is excellent reason to believe
the prosecution is building up its case
principally on the evidence of Evelyn
Nesbit made in a suit she began against
Thaw prior to their marriage.
Thaw learned White had practically
dictated the suit forcing him to pay an
enormous sum in settlement to Miss
Nesbit and her attorney, Abe Hummel
While the allegations in the Nesbit affi-
davit are suppressed, it is said they
even went so far as to charge Thaw
with grand larceny.
1t is interesting to know that Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw now denies she ever made
such an affidavit.
Thaw's attorney, Olcott, also denies it,
but he has a worried look when he
does so.
The district attorney will be able to
secure a record of this affidavit.
