THE THAW MURDER CASE.
The Defense Will Not Rake Up
Whites Past

The defense determined upon in the case
of Harry Kendall Thaw, charged with the
murder of Stanford White, involves no at
tack upon Whites character and no in
vasion of the dead architects private life
further than 1t touches the lives of the
man who killed him and that mans wife.
This positive announcement was made
yesterday afternoon in New York to shut
off the scores of Tenderloin habitues who
have stories to sell, wherever they will
bring the most money, regarding alleged
episodes in Whites career as a man about
town.
Clifford W. Hartridge, chief counsel for
the Thaw defense, realizes that Whites
life, except that part of it which was en-
tangled with the lives of Mr. and Mrs
his clients case, and, further, he is de-
termined, as far as possible, to keep the
Tenderloin out of the trial.
He knows that there is scant chance of
introducing evidence as to Whites rela-
tons with women other than Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw, and he has invariably turned
down purveyors of this class of tales
That there is some big card up the sleeve
of the Thaw defense seems almost GER
tain Mr. Hartridge will not tell what 1t
Is but whenever he talks of the case the
inference is plain that he is relying upon
some facts or situation of which the public
knows nothing.
II know Harry Thaw well, and have
known him for years" he said yesterday
afternoon. LAS soon as I learned the facts
regarding the killing all doubts as to his
acquittal vanished"
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was with her hus-
band when her sister-in-law arrived and
the two women were before the cell to-
gether for perhaps an hour. Then Mrs.
Carnegie left, returning to Roslyn. The

was looking and feeling better than he
had been at any time since his imprison-
ment.

with cares and responsibilities, with nnan-

the different items in the account referred
to- After the statement had been care

Contrary to her usual disposition. the
empress is very much opposed to the douma
and to the surrender of any authority on
the part of her husband. She regards the
presence of parliament as an affront to
the imperial family and has become one of
the most reactionary of Its members. al
though she was formerly the most liberal
and democratic person at court. / am told
that this change has taken place since her
boy was born. She is determined to pro-
tect all his rights and prerogatives as the
future emperor of Russia. She demands
that he shall inherit the autocracy unim-
paired. This is perfectly natural for a
mother of a king. She observes political
matters from different point of view since
his birth.
The empress dowager is taking her usual
active part in political affairs, and is a
member of what is Familiarity called "the
star chamber" which exercises a powerful
conservative and reactionary influence upon
the car. She appeared with him and the
czarina at the opening of the douma. She
always insists upon prominent position
and part in such ceremonies. She has never
relinquished her place in public functions,
and she still wears the crown diamonds
which she should have surrendered to her
daughter-in-law long ago.

Negroes in Missouri.

From the ST. Louis Globe-DemoGat.
Missouri has no acute race problem. The
negro in Missouri is decreasing in numbers
and increasing in character and efficiency.
The older generation is fast disappearing
and the younger generation is different.
Improvement is slow. but 1t is improve
ment. While the southern states have the
race problem in it's most acute stage, II is
not so in Missouri. The negro is fewer in
number and of proportionately higher
economic value than is any other state
which permitted slavery.

A Former Minister'S Estimate
One of his former ministers, in explaining
his attitude to me the other day said:
The ear does not take the do;lma seri.
ously. He does not realize the extent of
the disaffection against his government or
the enormous development of public opin-
ion that is pervading the atmosphere of
Russia like a heavy fog. He does not know
that 30 per cent of his subjects are prac-
tcally in a state of rebellion and that vio-
lence is likely to break out at any time
Ills ministers and other advisers tell him
tAat the douma is OF no consequence that
the movement for liberal government can
be ignored and that all he has to do is To
trust God and the people and things will
adjust themselves
His majesty has no fixed policy no def
mite purpose He Is a timid opportunist. but
salways acts too late. He yaciIiates from
one day to another as different people talk
10 him. Naturally he Is Inclined to be lib-
rsral and tolerant. At the same time he is de-
votedly attached 10 the traditions of the
autocracy. and has a deep sense of duty To
his father and grandfather and great
grandfather and the founders of the Ro-
manor dynasty, which he thinks requires
him TO perpetuate the policies they pursued.

Acoustics and Coughing.

Coughing is one Of the nuisances that
no one has been able to abolish in
churches or in theaters. A physician,
however, claims that the coughing nui-
sance is mere question of acoustics.
'There is a subtle connection be-
tween the ear and the throat" he said.
"When the ear is strained the throat
is affected, and a cough is the result.
When we can hear perfectly in church
Or theater it never occurs to us to
cough. But when we bend forward,
straining every nerve to catch the ac-
tors or preachers muff1ed syllables,
then we find ourselves coughing every
little while. Build auditoriums with
perfect acoustic properties and I war
rant that the thunderous choruses of
coughs so common now among us will
be no more heard"

A BEGGAR or KH!vA.

He Was Noisy and a Thing Of Shreds
and Patches.
In an open square, where the dust pail
forbade sight or breath, directed my
steps toward the source of a throbbing
roll that ceaselessly wove itself In with
the noise of voices and the pattering of
rnShOd feet Of beasts. AS / neared it
the noise became detached from the
I.ubbub, a distinct and individual thing,
made the very notes In the air dance
to time Under willow tree by the
water ditch that defined the square sat
a bent old man, unbelievably ragged.
SO torn were his many khalats that
they did not seem like constructed gar
meEtts at all, but strings of tatters and
tags collected and hung on his fat,
weak body His head was bent on his
breast, and his eyes were half closed.
On his stomach was wooden bowl,
with a ska drum head stretched across
it, and ON this drum head he beat in
cessantly with his knuckles and his
fist. The motion was so automatic and
deadly regular in it's recurrent changes
that it seemed almost as if he were a
clockwork figure set at the edge Of the
busy market to record the passage of
time. I flung some coppers on the
brass begging tray by his side and went
off, unconsciously adjusting my steps
to his beating. He made the trivial
barter and the driving Of laden animals
seem vapid and futile, and my bit of
had happened along and patted Socra-
ties on the back.-Langdon Warner in
Century.

When a horse is overworked it
lies down and in other ways declares
it's inability to go futher, you would
consider it criminal to use force.
Many man of humane impulses,
who would not willingly harm kit

own stomach is concerned. Over
driven, overworked, when what it
needs is something that will digest
the food eaten and help the stomach
