MAYOR TOM DENIES

Cleveland, July 25.-Mayor Tom l..
johnson, when shown today the story
from Philadelphia that he has settled
his differences with the traction syndi-
cate said:
1.-The story is not true. Six months
ago the Trenton Railway company, in
which the estate of my brother, A. L..
Johnson, is interested, leased one and
an eighth miles of track, with privi-
ieges, to the Widener-Elkins syndi-
cate so as to connect its lines between
Willow Grove and Trenton.
Il have not now and have not had,
and don't expect to have any dealings
with the Widener- -Elkins Traction peo-
pie. There is no present movement
under way by lines in Pennsylvania
in which l am interested to enter
Philadelphia by deal with the Wide
ner=Elkins people.

All testified that the Ashby woman had
told them that she had sworn falsely
in the affidavit, but was to receive
$500 for making it and that she had
already received some money on ac-
count.

CLA|MAN
Appears for DR.. Ridouts
Blooded Horse-Grape
Farm in Mrs. Georges
Name.

Ravenna, o., July 25.-The death of
DR.. Ridout is discussed here with
many speculations on the possibility
of foul play. The verdict Of death by
suicide was generally accepted until
eoday's dispatch from Buffalo sug-
gesting foul play. But from all the
circumstances 1t seems more reason
able to suppose that it was a case
of suicide caused by financial trouble,
drink and dope.
The personality of the widow, who
was Mrs. Anna George, of Canton, has
given peculiar character to public
curiosity. Warren Parsel, of Brock
ton, is here today to get the Ridout
blooded horse, on which he holds a
bill of sale TO cover ali alleged money
loan.> He had been hunting for Rid
out for a whole year and only learned
his location on reading of his death.
Mrs. Rideout will return to Ravenna
Thursday morning to seif the horse.
DIR. Ridout and his wife purchased
grape farm at Brockton, N. Y, but
the title of the property was taken
in her name. 1t is said they had many
disputes. Twice their troubles found
their way into court.

jerome at Work Again.

New York, July 25.-District Attor-
ney William Travers Jerome and his
chief assistant, Francis P Garvin, re-
turned to this city today from a
speech-making vacation" trip and the
first act of the district attorney, after
reaching his ONCE, was to send for
Assistant Attorney TurnDull who has
had charge of the Thaw case in the
absence of his chief and get from
him all of the documents bearing on
it.
The district attorney expects to re-
main in this city for a couple of weeks
or SO and during that time he will
put in many hours getting his side
ready for presentation to court. Mr..
Jerome expects to make a statement
later, which he plans will set at rest
many wild rumors that have been pub
lished regarding collusion between his
office and the law firm of Black, Oh.
colt, Gruber and Bonynge and which
rumors purported to declare that the
district attorney was party to an
agreement with former Judge Olcott,
whereby l0dW was 10 De SXdUllueu DIS
to his sanity and railroaded to an
asylum.
TO SUPREME COURT.
Mrs. William Thaw, Harry's moth
! er, visited her son today and went
from there to Judge Olcott's Office
where she had a long interview with
that attorney. 1t was reported that
she had practically agreed to have
Mr.. Olcot appear before the supreme
court and ask for her appointment as
committee to take charge of an in
sane son and his estate. Once ad
| judged insane it would then be easy
for her to dismiss Hartridge and have
Harry sent to an asylum for treat
ment. The Olcott firm believes that
Thaw can be taken out of the hands
of the criminal authorities and SEN
to private asylum if adjudged in
sane, but, other lawyers contend that
he must be sent to Matteawan if it il
shown that he is not mentally sound.
