NEW YORK, June 27.-Harry ina"
has nrovided a climax that has been
owing TO that type known as the Pitts
burg Millionaire" for long time.

Pittsbure money that makes the own
ers of it do unconventional things.
One exclamation is that Pittsburg mil
lions are new and the posseSSors OF
them are money intoxicated
Some years ago the younger genera
tion of Pittsburg millionaires was
brought into public notice by the eele-
brated violet bride" case. The vloie'
bride" was the spouse of young James
King Clarke of Pittsburg. They came
to New York on their honeymoon and
he accused her of having allowed an
other young millionaire from their own
town to caress her. The bride charged
that George Lauder Carnegie. an init
mate friend of her husband, had Of
fered her $1,000.0 900 to elope with him
and young Carnegie cheerfully admit
ted that the accusation might be true,
but excused himself on the ground that
he was ''tanked."
The violet bride" divorced her nus
band in Pittsburg four months after
her marriage and married another man
1t was George Lauder Carnegie, by
the way, that Harry ThaW sent for Just
after he shot Stanford White Monday
night.

TRUSTEES CARRY
HEAVY POLICIES
Protective League Of
ficers Hold S30,0O0,-
600 Insurance.

The eleven trustees who have been
agreed upon for the Policy Holders
Protective League represent $40, 100000
in fire insurance in this city. Colonel
Weinstock has caused canvass to be
made on this point and the discovery
of the big figures mentioned is the re-
suit. There are two representatives of
each of the five commercial organiza-
tions in the city whose services the
policy-holders desire to secure. Some
of the number have been out of the
city since the meeting of the policy
holders in Calvary Presbyterian Church
last Monday. Whether they will serve
is not yet known. If they do then the
trustees will represent $4,000, 600, a
very large share of the losses accounted
for in connection with those who at
tended the general meeting on Monday.
One speaker in Calvary Church esti-
mated that the losses represented by
those who had assembled to counsel in
the largest and most Influential assem-
blage of business men that has taken
place in San Francisco in many years
was fully s100,00O,000 That remark
probably>did not over-estimate the case
If the trustees are directly concerned
in collecting something like 80 per
cent of $1,000 900 that is a great
guaranty for prompt and energetic
action on behalf of the great body of
commercial holders of fire insurance
policies in the burned district of San
Francisco.
Colonel Weinstock declined yester-
day to make public the names of any
of the appointed trustees until he had
eleven acceptances in hand. He took
an automobile yesterday and put in
several hours trying to find all the
original nominees for trusteeship. The
task was not completed, but may come
to an end today. A resolution adopted
by the policyholders' meeting provtd-
ed for the appointment of the trustees
by Colonel Weinstock on recommenda-
ton by the presidents of the FIVE COM
mercial organizations. The presidents
met Tuesday and again yesterday to
assist.
To provide that there shall be little
delay in the beginning of work. each
commercial organization has named
two alternates who may be called upon
to serve as trustees if any of the origi-
nal appointees shall decline to act for
any reason. The alternates, like the
original appointees, are men of large
financial Importance and are connected
with banks, great real estate interests
and general business. When the names
of the trustees will be mafle public is
uncertain, but the announcement will
be made as soon as possible.

to account for Thaw's attitude and that
he could attribute 1t only to unaccount-
able obstinacy. AS his counsel, he
answering any of the questions ad-
dressed to him by the physicians.
AFTER the alienists had departed Mrs.
Ihaw was permitted to see her husband
for the first time since his arrest She
came TO the Tombs in carria ge, ;tc-
eompanied by her husbands brother
Joseph c. Thnw. The meeting betwaen
husband and wife was affectionate, and
they remained together, talking in an
undertone. for nearly an hour Thaw
also received a visit from his sister,
Mrs. George C. Carnegie. and Clifford
W. Hartridge of ElItsburg.
Before visiting the Tombs Mrs. rhaw
had "a long conference with former
Judge Olcott and Frederick Delafeld,
at which, II was said, the line of de-
fense was discussed and the intention
TO interpose plea of insanity was con-
frmed.
.,nen asked about the letters from
White which Mrs. Thaw yesterday
turned over to Delafield. Olcott said he
believed that they were of material
value to the defense. Further tnan
this he declined to comment on tho
case.
: Coroner Dooley announced today that
the inquest. which VIII open tomorrow
would not be a formal proceeding to
establish the cause of Whites death,
but that all available witnesses would
be examined for the purpose of fixing
the crime upon Thaw, in order that he
might be held for the action of the
Grand Jury. Mrs. Thaw will not ap-
pear at the inquest, and it was said to-
day that in all probability she would
not be required to appear before the
Grand Jury, in which case her testimony
would not be taken until the trial In
the meantime the District Attorney $
office will prosecute searching inyes-
tigation of the habits and movements
of Thaw and White during a period Of
several weeks previous to the tragedy.
No less than twenty witnesses we're
examined in connection with the case
by the District Attorneys office today.
Among the most prominent of these
was Thaw's valet, William Bedford.
who has been in his service six years
and is believed to be conversant with
the events which are supposed to have
been the immediate incentive to the
crime.
1t was announced at the office of the
District Attorney that Garvin, who is
preparing the case against Thaw. to-
day discovered witness who alleged
that he overheard White make dero;y :
atory remarks concerning Mrs. Thaw
while in the Cafe Martin a few hours
before he was shot. According to the
witness, whose name is concealed for
the present, he heard the remarks while
White was seated two or three tables
away and evidently was mot whisper
ing. At that time Mr.. and Mrs. Tha H
were in the cafe, dining. 1t is believed
that this witness will not appear be-
fore the Coroners jury, but that he will
be reserved for the trial.
Another important witness who was
examined by Garvin today was Nellie
Leahy, Mrs. Thaw's maid.
The funeral of White will take place
tomorrow from his late summer resi-
dence at st. James, L. l.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.


: DENVER, Juhe 27.-Fascinated by
the stories written by William II. Eader
of Denver, an engraver by trade and
an author for diversion, a woman who
claimed to be Mrs. Tudor Kearns, wife
of one of the editors of the Red Book
Magazine of Chicago. after vainly en-
deavoring to arrange for an elopement
with the young author, endeavored to
kill him on Monday. Detectives are at
work on the case, which is one of the
strangest ever under investigation here.
The police are not positive as to the
womanS identity.
Eader first heard from the woman
through a letter sent to his home, 2435
Grant avenue. In part the letter reads:
Il am the wife of an editor of the
Red Book of Chicago. l have read
some of your stories submitted to us
as we'll as those published in the Red
Book. l love you madly, fondly, pas
sionately, and | must see the idol of
my love"
The passionate missive was ignored
and few days later, while leaving
his work, Eader was accosted by a
man in livery, who asked him to speak
to stylishl3 dressed woman in anNau-
tomobile. The woman asked him to
take ride with her He declined.
stating that he was married and had
two step-chi1dren. Other efforts to
meet him and persuade him to elope
with her proving ineffective, the wo-
man lay in wait for Eader on Monday
morning and when he was near the
postoffice stepped out from a doorway
and fired at him. The bullet struck his
watch and imbedded itself in the
works.
When the woman fired at Eader he
staggered backward, which probably
led her to believe that she had killed
him, for, without firing again, she
started down the street and disap-
peared in the direction of Stout street
1t took Eader some time 10 discover
that he was unhurt. Believing him
self shot he hurried along the street
until he met man who had been at
tracted by the noise of the shooting
The man examined Eader and pulled
his watch from his pocket. The bullet
was imbedded in the works and Eader
was only bruised The woman who
did the shooting is described by Eader
as being of striking appearance She is
about 80 years of age, of light COM
plexion with brown hair and eyes. Her
weight is about 130 pounds

DIR. PrERCE's REMEDIES.
Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation. because they have i'll
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
hoiic beverages, or by too close oonfine-
consequence the stomach must be treated
IN a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles in
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty As a result
fatigue comes early, is extreme and lasts
long. The demand for nutritive aid is
ahead OF the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue. bone. nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return TO il certain
Others. II is necessary 10 prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what IS necessary 10 make good,
rich, red blood. We must go 10 Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known 70 the Indians of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came to the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found 10 be safe and vet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach. liver and blood.

The medicinal principles residing i'm these
native roots when extracted with give

Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous

announcement denying any liability for
any fire losses occurring under this
form Of policy, are attempting to form
an organization for mutual protection.
They will likely meet some time toward
the end of this week at Gil Laguna
street and agree upon a definite and
united plan of action. The Williams
burgh City carried about $3.50, 900 in
these earthquake clause" policies,
most of which had been placed in the
burned district.
Attorneys who have been consulted
regarding the liability of the Williams
burgh on the earthquake clause" poll
cies say that except in a few cases the
corporation will be held liable for its
fire losses. 1t is admitted By them that
the earthquake was the primary cause
OF all the fires. but they argue that
subsequent causes of sufficient force to
completely cut off the earthquake effect
afterward entered in. For this reason,
except where there is proof that the
building was substantially damaged
and the fire originated in that build
ing, these attorneys believe that the
company viii be held liable by the
courts.

"
DENVER, June 27.-While filled
with champagn and delirious with the
JOY engendered thereby Harry K. Thaw.
the young millionaire who killed Stan
ford White in New York on Monday
night, was several years ago locked in
a Pullman car in Denver until he could
be taken out of the city. He was on
his way to the Corbett-Jeffries fight in
San Francisco, and to get him out of
town the employees of the Union Pacific
Railway had to make him a captive.
He hired car in Denver and said
that he would leave the next morning
said an employe of the Union Pacific
today. When the train was ready to
go he could not be found and the ear
had to be taken off the train. We be-
gan to search for him and found him
in the oxford Hotel bar with a hack
driver called Handsome Dick. We
took him to the private car and locked
him in. All the brakemen who went
to the car were given money, cham
pagne and cigars by Thaw.
The car came back after the fight
was over. but Thaw was not in 1t. He
had left the car at Cheyenne. His pri-
vate secretary was in the car and had
a gay-looking woman with him. He
said Thaw had gone East through
Wyoming.
"Thaw is of medium size and was
not very stout then-in fact, he was
an insignificant appearing man. He
looked as If he might have been a little
college man from Boston Town. He
seemed to take delight in the company
of the hack driver and besides filing
him up with good things to drink and
giving him the best of cigars he gave
him some money. He was drinking
with Handsome Dick as If they were
old cronies, and Handsome Dick was
pounding Thaw on the shoulder as If
he had known him life time
