The Thaw Case.

New York, July l9 When the writ
is argued in the Supreme Court iemn'-
row to show cause why former Jud. g
Olcott's law firm should not turn ever
to Clifford w. Hartridge, the newly sp-
pointed counsel OF Harry Thsw, all the
papers 10 the case, the lines Of dit
ferences that have arisen between Thaw,
bis mother, Mrs. William Thsw, aud
counsel over the nature OF the defense
will be made plain. Thsw this morn
ing was just as determined as ever, that
be should go before the jury as sane
man, and fight for his life. His mother
is equally determined that commission
should be appointed to inquire into his
sanity, and has re-engaged Judge Oh
colts 6fm to conduct the case. Mrs.
Thsw will see her son today aud plead
with him to consent to the submission
of the insanity plea. Ia the event of
Thaw's final refusal Mrs Thaw, as q
mother aud relative, would have the
right to ask for the appointment of a
commission. Neither Thaw nor his
lawyer, Clifford w. Hartridge, could
prevent this move, though with the aid
OF District Attorney jerome it would
be successfully blocked.
Justice Mclean, 10 the Supreme
Court. today, reserved decision in the
motion to make permanent the writ of
prohibition, secured by attorneys for
Harry Thaw, to restrain the Court of
General Sessions, the District Attorneys
office and the grand jury from examin-
ing any witnesses in the Thaw case, ex-
cept in the presence of the defendant.
There was long argument and counsel
were given until tomorrow to submit
briefs. A decision is expected next
week.
Reading, Pa, July 10. Former Dis
trict Attorney E. j. Lichtenwslner, OF
Lehigh county, has been engaged by
former Judge Olcott, of New York, to

ride on the railroad are leaving by wagon.
About 2, 600 people are camping out in

business block in the town has been il
repsrably damaged. There has been
much distress among the people, who
are camping in the open, as heavy rains

iug the heaviest for fifty years. Most
Of the people are going to FL Paso, ST.
though many are coming to Albuquef-
que. The shocks generally occdr "a
short, sharp jerks, the ground SEEM
ing to slip violently. 1t is believed
the adjustment OF rock strata in
the rugged Ladrone and Magdele
mountains is the cause OF the continued
shocks. Provisions are growing scarce
and real distress is found among the
refugees. "The noise and the quskes are
