MINNEAPOLIS, June 25. w. G.
Edgar of the relief committee for San
Francisco sufferers, is in receipt of the
following telegram from his correspond
ent in San Francisco concerning the sale
of Minneapolis -four by General Greedy:
''The Red Cross finance committee is
lying. The Examiner has thousands of
applications for -four. Large numbers
of clergymen are also demanding -four
for their needy parishioners.
THE general opinion is that a serious
offense has been committed in selling
goods entrusted to the committee for
free distribution and / advise taking
action Immediately"
Edgar's reply follows: Believing in
the good faith of the Red Cross, we
unfortunately turned over every dollar
OF our funds to its agent. We therefore
have no money to make legal fight
against this shameful misappropriation
which is endorsed by the national au-
thorities at Washington"
Edgar's mail contains many letters
from fire and earthquake sufferers COM
planning bitterly of the treatment ac-
corded them by the citizens committee.
They declare every pound of food which
Greedy had on hand is badly needed and
a niggardly system of furnishing sup
plies obtains in all quarters. These let
ters come from illiterate and educated
persons alike.

CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED
Philadelphia Will Be Scene of Trials of
Officials of Pennsylvania Road and

Completed This Week.

NEW YORK, June 25.--The Times, in
" special dispatch from Philadelphia,
says:
Philadelphia is to be the scene of the
first great prosecutions to be brought by
the government against the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Standard Oil Company,
Arrangements for the prosecution will
be completed this week in New York at
Il conference between Alexander Simp-
son, Jra of this city, and Charles f.
Hughes.
The chief question under consideration
is the advisability of individual prosecu-
tions against A. j, Cassatt president of
the Pennsylvania. This was plainly in
dicated today by lawyer who has been
intimately associated with Interstate
Commerce Commission hearings.
BY both the commissioners and the
special counsel appointed by the attor-
ney general to follow the testimony and
prepare for the prosecution it is believed
more good can be accomplished by CEN
tering prosecution upon Mr.. Cassatt
than by scattering energy over the prose-
cutions of presidents of all the railroads
concerned, most of which are directly
or indirectly controlled by the Pennsyl-
vania.

Thaw had been present during the
entire performance. With woman, said
to be his wife, he had taken seats at

When Thaw left his wife, he walked
down the aisle rapidly, stood for few
minutes right behind White, looking at
him hard. White apparently was ut

Thaw pulled a pistol from his trouser

Thaw Displays Calmness.

"That - of - will never 60 with
that woman again."
To Policeman Debes at the Garden he
said: "Well, damn him, he deserved
it." Once at the police station he ap-
parently had recovered himself and had
become the least excited man in it. Re-
fusing to say word about the crime
and asking that his lawyers. Louis A.
Delafield and Frederick Longfellow be
notified, he pulled his cigarette and was
taken and locked up. The crime against
him is murder. AT Whites residence it
was said tonight that Mrs. White is in
the West visiting friends, and is ex-
pected back on Saturday, White dined
with his son Lawrence, who returned
earlier in the day from Harvard to pass
the summer vacation at home. Mystery
still surrunds the case of the shooting,
but its solution may be found in the
words attributed to Thaw Immediately
after the shotting, "Well, he ruined my
wife, and l got him." 1t is known that
for years bitter enemity existed be-
tween Thaw and White on account of
the formers attention to Mrs. Thaw,
which had begun prior to her marriage.
On the way to the police station Police
man Debes said Thaw expressed great
qualification over the killing,
81 am glad l shot him." he said. II
am glad did a good job of it, That
man has ruined my -" Then Thaw
dropped his voice, said Debes, and said
something which sounded like either
''wife" or ''life." Another word was not
uttered by Thaw.
Evelyn Nesbitt, who became Thaw's
wife on April A, 1905. was flower girl
in the "Toreador Company" They were
married in Pittsburg by Rev. William E.
McEwan of the Presbyterian church.
Thaw's mother, in spite of earlier opposi-
tion, was present, Miss Nesbitt is the
daughter of G. ]. Holman of Pittsburg.
