.THAW MOVES fOR.
 H SPEEDY TRIAL Counsel Will Ask That the karder indictment Be Heard By ths
 SgDIsns Court
NOTICE HAS BEEN HEARD
David P. Watson a We'll Known
 Piusburg Lawyer May Con duct the Defense.

New York, Sept 15.-Lewyers for Harry, K. Thaw, the slayer of Stan ford White. will appear in Part I, of tue supreme court Monday, Sept 2i, and ask for the removal of the indict- lnent for murder in the first degree against Thaw from the court of gen ernl sessions to the supreme court.
 Notice of the motion was served on the district-attorney yesterday by Clifford W. Hartridge Hartridge said that Thaw wants speedy trial and he fears that his case cannot be heard in general sessions before No yember. In an affidavit, signed by John E.. Gleason, 1t is argued that there has been such widespread dis cussion of the case that many persons have already formed an opinion Us to the guilt or innocense of his client. and that Thaw believes speedy trial is necessary.
 It is probable that the district-at- torney will not oppose the motion. Two new lawyers have been retained Dy 1uuW. 1ucy uiC JVuh H. ASS.a and Howard s. Cans. Lawyer Iselin called at the tombs yesterday morn ing in company with MT Hartridge. Mir Iselin announced that he and Mir Gleason who was formerly Jerome's chief of stan, were taken into the case with the consent and approval of Mir Hartridge. Mir lselin said he had been retained by Thaw several weeks.
 The lawyers said that 1t was at present undecided as to which one of the counsel would conduct the defense at the trial. He admitted that DfvM P. Watson, the Pittsburg lawyer, who has made q name for himself as m expoundcr of the "unwrltten law" before criminal juries, would be re tained as an advisory counsel.

PALESTINE EXPLORATIONS
AdVIees From Jerusalem Say That There Has Been Many Good
 " Finds. ]"
WORK STOPPED FOR PRESENT

Chicago. Sept 15.-Excavations of the ancient city of Gezer, mentioned in early sacred and profane history. carried on by members of the Pales- tine exploration fund for the last three years. have developed numer- ous "finds," according to advices from Jerusalem published in the September number of the Biblical World, issued from the University of Chicago Press yesterday. Eight cities have been found, superimpOsed upon each other, on the side of the old de- fense to the western road to Jerusa- lem from the mountains of Judah. The culture. history, religion and customs from as far back as $500 B. c. have been revealed by archi- lecture, jugs, weapons, masonry, etc.
 Dr E. w. G. Masterman, member .of the excavating party, writes as follows:
 The earliest inhabitants lived In caves and made all their weapons and instruments of flint. In the middle period bronze is the only metal known, while at a time roughly syn chronous with the coming of Israel, iron appears and gradually replaces bronze.
 Work of excavating is temporar- fly suspended, as the three years Turkish firman has expired. It Is hoped to secure a new firman, when the researches again will be re- sumed."

Regarded With Favor.

Havana. Sept 15.-President noosevelt's action In sending Secre- tary of War Taft and Acting Secre- tary of State Bacon to Cuba to in- vestigste conditions in the island was regarded favorably on the whole by those who were first appraised of it. Cubans generally. it may be said. do not desire intervention of any sort in Cuban affairs. but the desire for . settlement of some kind now pre- dominates. The conviction ia over vheiming thst the trouble must be settied through the. United States. The truth of President Roosevelt's picture of the deplorabIlity of the re- volution and of his reference to the United States right of intervention fs not questioned Secretary Taft's rspufation as . pacificator and as ad- m1nistrator in the Philippines makes hb.comins particularly welcome.

Plcases Business Men.

New York. Sept 15.-President RoOsevelt's letter to the quarreling Cubans, In which he called for peace and announced that he would send Secretaries Taft and Bacon to Hava. ma at once to inquire into conditions is pleasing to business men. here whose interests in Cuba had begun to suffer. The suggestion that he send . commission to Cuba, 1t was stated, came from them.
 One of the prominent Cuban bank CTS in this city said last night:
 President Palmn- cannot cope with the revolutiOnists because 1t Is im- possible for any military power in the world to prevent rebels from burning crops and destroying railroads. If the rebels engaged in open battle the gov ernment forces. would be victorious, but they scatter and. hide in the mountains and woods, so that 1t Is impossible to capture them.
 President Roosevelt did not wish to intervene In Cuban affairs. but he has had to do so. believe that as q result of sending \ commission to Cuba. the reyolutl0nists will lay down their ,arlps and both sides will tell thelr stqytSe. 1Aep after iapse of a fewlt{Oiftl,s, wheh affairs have quietesl dowa, the question gan be amIcably settled. x
 Secretary Talf and Secretary. Bon Apafte reached Long Island City from Oyster Bhy at II 30 o'clock last night. They refused to comment on the Gu bnn situation or to discuss their con ference with the president.
 Secretary Taft said. that he and As- slstant Secretary of State Bacon will leave Washington for Cuba to-mor- row night. They will go by rail to Key West and embark there on q wnrshlp for. Havana. .' z. N. K.
 He said that they could not tell when they will reach Cuba. as he had not looked up the timetable.
 Immediately on being informed early this morning that Secretary Taft and Acting Secretary Bacon were going to Cuba Colonel Charles M. Agulrre, head of the revolutionary tuntn. sent cable dispatch to Havana advising the insurgents to stop fight ing, pending the outcome of the mis- sion of Mir Taft and Mir Bacon.
 Colonel Ag,iirre forwarded the mes- sage to Felipe Romero. at Havana, who has been eating as an intermed- iary for General I.oInaz del Castillo in his offer to surrender to Command CT Colwell, and who win deliver 1t to Dr Alfredo Zayas. executive head of the insurrection.
 "I am pleased to hear" said Colonel Agulrre. "that two such responsible men as Mir Taif and Mir Bacon gre. to investigate the situation right on the ground. We are ready to do what ever President Roosevelt might req sonably suggest"
