was voted to return pro rata the sur
pins left over from the celebration.
After all bills had been passed upon
and paid it was found that $225 re-
mained in the treasury.
Il move that this money be return
ed to the subscribers pro rata" said
Leon Cohen.
Betore the motion had been put C.
e. Roosevelt suggested that the sur
plus be turned into fund to nav for
concerts by the Eagles band How
ever, Mr.. Cohen replied that when the
subscription was raised the commit
tee promised to rebate any monev
that might be left over, so he re-
garded it as up to the committee TO
do the same and raise a separate sub
scription for the band concerts. Mr.
Cohen offered to contribute to such
subscription. i,
The motion to refund the balanca
on hand was then carried.
Since the Fourth of July money is
to be returned, it will be necessa rv
10 raise an entire new subscription
II band concerts are to be given DUR

sarded that such a subscription could
be easily raised provided the work
is undertaken by some organization.

the matter At the committee meet
ing last night 1t was stated that the
members of the band offered to hold
concerts for $3.50 each per night, or

New York, July 1.-THE district
attorneys office is looking for the
person telling the story that Thaw
intended to kill White at the Hotel
st. Regis year ago. According to a
witness of the scene Thaw had a re-
volver in his hand to shoot White as
he sat in the dining room, but re-
Trained when he saw Mrs. White with
him.
Thaw is well and strong, apparent
ly, and received newspaper men this
morning to show them he is sane. He
certainly appears healthy, answered
questions and discussed the condition
intelligently, but refused upon the
advice of his counsel to discuss the
merits of the case. He is sorry his
mother is returning, for he thinks
she should have gone to Switzerland
to take baths for rheumatism.
VIII Allow Insanity Plea.

in the Tombs today between Thaw
and his wife and former Judge Oil
colt, leading attorney for the defense,

clothes" Said Bryan:
"He didn't get them all, and /
doubt II what he did get will fit him."
and added; TITS hard uphill work
for Roosevelt to enforce the laws ac-
cording to the needs Of the people
because the platform upon which he
was elected did not demand It, 1t is
hard for him to manage the admins
tration. If democratic president is
elected in 1908. he will ie committed
