Commission TO
TAKE TESTIMONY
THAW'S COUNSEL GAINS A
CONCESSION
District Attorney Jerome Wants Testi-
mony Of Witness In South Africa.
Mrs. Thaw Picks Paris
Home
BY Associated Press

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA motion Of
counsel for Harry X. Thaw that a com
mission be appointed to take testimony
of witnesses of the state was granted
by Judge Newburger in the supreme
court today. It will be an interroga-
tory committee, ind testimony will be
Of witnesses for both the prosecution
and defense.
The motion was made by clifford w.
Hartridge, one Of Thaw's counsel, who
suggested an open command as the
witnesses whose testimony was desired,
Thomas McCaleb and Truxton Beale,
both of whom, he said, are in Cali
fornia.
District Attorney Jerome told JUS
tice Newburger he had no objection to
the appointment of commission pro-
vided 1t be allowed to take the testi-
mony of witnesses for the prosecution
who are outside the state. Mr.. Jerome
said he wanted the testimony of the
mother, brother and sister of the de-
fendant's wife, and possibly that of a
witness who is in South Africa.
AS the lawyers were leaving the
court room Mr.. Hartridge turned to
Assistant District Attorney Garvan and
said:
"Why, this is an awful thing. II you
find it necessary to get the testimony
of witness in South Africa 1t will be
months before the case can be called"
Mr.. Garvin made no reply.
The witness in South Africa Is Miss
Ida Veronica Simonton, daughter of
DR.. Simonton of Pittsburg. She sailed
from this country August 1. Miss
Simonton has gone to Africa to study
the monkeys in the jungle. The APP
pointment of the commission will have
the effect of postponing Thaw's trial,
which was scheduled to begin early in
the coming year. When attempts were
made to see Thaw in his cell in the
Tombs his one reply to all notes was:
"You will have to see my lawyers"
Mrs. Harry X. Thaw is confident OF
the acquittal of her husband at the
forthcoming trial for the killing of
Stanford White. In an interview Sum
day she said she was planning for the
purchase of home in Paris, where she
and her husband will take up their
permanent residence if her expectation
of his Liberation from prison is realized.
Mrs. Thaw said;
when Harry leaves the prison we
shall take the first ship from New
York, leaving America behind forever.
I have already made arrangements
with a Paris real estate firm for the
purchase of a modest little house in
the Champs Elysees district. You see
how certain / am OF Harry's acquittal.
az would rather live in Paris than
in any other city OF Europe We both
feel it would never do for us to remain
here after the trial, so / am making ar
rangements to locate permanently in
the French capital"

IN his own behalf, and in the conven-
tion he will have no mean following.
Machine Republicans also admit
this. but they are determined that
Gates shall not receive the Endorsement
of the convention.
"Iindley men are confident that the
doctor will be nominated, and the ma
jority Of them are opposed to indors-
ing Gates, while friends of Gates ex-
press confidence that, while thev NAV
not bring about the Endorsement Of
Gates they can prevent the nomination
of Lindley.
with this as the situation, the ma
chine men are willing to sit back and
watch the fun. AS stated, they are
perfectly willing for Dindley to receive
the nomination, but should there be
danger Of Gates securing the prize the
machine men will come forward and
make things lively.
In that event the machine men will
do one of two things-throw their
strength to Lindley or endeavor to
bring about the nomination of DR.. ].
w. Jones or a dark horse.
The machine is determined, II pos
slbIe, to ohastise both DIR. Lindley and
Mr.. Gates-the former because of the
fact that he overthrew the we'll laid
plans of the machine for the nomination
OF councilman Smith for mayor, and
the latter because he accepted the
non-partlsan nomination for mayor.
If they can defeat Lindley in con-
vention and nominate some other man,
well and good; but If he is nominated
they will walt until the election to do
their work.
''They figure that with Llndley and
Gates as the opposing candidates they
can defeat both of them and thereby
XIII two birds with one stone. Their
only fear Is that Gates will receive the
Endorsement of the convention; but even
then they will attempt to cause his
downfall on election day, although they
admit that this practically would be
an imposslbility.
at Is generally conceded that in the
election the Republican machine will
throw Its strength to A. g. Harper, who
has received assurances Of the Demo-
cratic nomination for mayor"

san movement in the interest OF good
government, who have been Influenced
by the circulation Of the charge snen-
toned to the extent Of not only With
holding support but working actively
for the defeat of Mr.. Gates and the
ticket he heads.
For the beneht OF these friends Of
mine, as we'll as myself, will you kindly
give me an opinion Of the fitness OF Mr..
Gates to meet the moral tests that we
should apply to him who would aspire
for the office of mayor Of Los Angeles? ?
Very truly yours,
"ROBT w. BROWN"
The replies we're as follows:
Robert W. Brown: Dear Sir-In re-
gard to Lee G. Gates attitude toward
the liquor interests while on the police
commission, will say did not con-
slider hm as favorable to their interests,
but was always ready to deal fairly
and impartlally with all cases coming
before the commission. OF course he
frequently differed with Mr.. Mason and
myself I think very highly of
Mr.. Gates and hope to see him elected
mayor, with the whole non-partisan
ticket. Yours truly,
10. T. JOHNSON"
Robert w. Brown, City: Dear Sir
Replying to your favor Of the 28th
inst, attached hereto, inquiring as to
Mr.. Gates attitude toward the liquor
interests, will say there Is in fact no
foundation for the charges referred to
by you about Mr.. Gates. While he did
not always vote with me while a MEM
Der of the police commission, he gen.
orally did so, and know that he holds
about the same view as 1 do as re-
CARDS the liquor traffic. You must re-
member that the liquor business Is and
has been established for a long time and
those engaged in 1t were put in under
cover of the law, and whatever just
rights they have should not be denied
them. This is as far as Mr. Gates has
ever gone.
''I have known DR.. Lindley for about
twenty years. His ability to manage
large affairs is so limited and his in
tegrity questioned to that extent that
would regard his election with the
greatest apprehension.
every truly yours,
GEORGE MASON"

ATTEMPT TO BE MADE
TO SECURE INDICTMENTS
AGAINST POLITICIANS

An effort will be made by the nom
partisan committee to have the county
grand jury return indictments against
Sidney Bush and Thomas J. McMul-
len, real estate partners having an
office at 713 Central avenue, and H. e.
Griner, one of the active lieutenants in
the campaign of Henry Lyon, Republi-
can nominee for councilman of the
Seventh ward.
The charge made against the three
men is violation of the purity of cleo
tion laws and concerns the $500 cash
alleged to have been paid the real es-
tate men by Griner for their influence
in favor of Bartender Lyon. Bush
and McMullen, who were working for
Martin Betkouski the non-partisan
candidate, switched suddenly to Ly-
on's cause last Wednesday.
Betkouski says that he went to Mr..
Bush for an explanation and that Bush
showed him 5000 in cash which Bush
claimed was paid him by Griner in ex-
change for his influence for Lyons
candidacy. Bush also told other reput-
able citizens of the ward the same
thing.
Bush and McMullen were examined
at non-partisan headquarters last ev-
enfng In the presence of attorneys,
and the prosecution of the two and
Mr.. Griner will be demanded as a re-
suit.
1t is claimed that sufficient evidence
has been procured to convict the three
men, but the non-partisan organization
will go further into the matter and Sc
cure the indictment Of higher sources
Of bribery, if possible.
In addition to the witnesses who say
they heard Bush's confession, other
men were offered money by lieutenants
of the gang which is seeking the cleo
tionsof Bartender Lyon. These cases
also are being investieated

UP TO POSTMASTER
TO EXPLAIN SUNDAY
MAIL DISTRIBUTION

Said Secretary Lissner of the non
partisan committee yesterday:
Sunday the unprecedented happened
in the annals of the Los Angeles post
office. The carriers delivered mail to
every house in the city. There was nc
Gates material in the mall 1t was
practically all Harper. The postoffice
authorities took pains to ring up non
partisan headquarters to inquire
whether there would be any non-par-
tisan literature in the malls for cleo
tion day, and were informed that there
would not. The postoffice authorities
knew what material would be deliv-
cred Never in previous campaigns
has the postoffice gone out of it's way
to deliver political literature on Sum
days before election day. Postmaster
Flint is avowedly for Lindley and is
one of the staunchest supporters Of the
Republican organization Why did he
go out of his way to deliver Harper
literature on Sunday? Voters will draw
their own conclusions"

ATLANTA WINS PIPE LINE CASE
BY Associated Press.

BY ASSOclated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The SUI
preme court of the United States today
decided the case of the city of Atlanta,
Ca, against the so-called "pipe line
trust" in favor of the city.
The suit was instituted by the city
under the Sherman antitrust law on
the complaint that by the combination
of the manufacturers the municipality
had been compelled to pay an excess of
$4,000 over a fair price on orders for
pipe amounting to $56,000.
The city asked damages in the sum
of $45, 900 or three times the amount of
the loss, but the court of appeals, af-
firming a decision of the district court
of East Tennessee, allowed only $1,000.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 16.--Owing
to disclosures made before the inter
state commerce commission the Stand
ard Oil company has thrown up it's
contract for furnishing lubricating oil
to the Pennsylvania lines west Of Pitts
burg, voluntarily surrendering a. lrevs
enue Of more than, $4,000 a year. /
With the cancellation Of the agreess
ment between the Pennsylvania and
the Galena Oh company, which is the
constituent company thru which The
Standard furnishes all the railroads of
the country with lubricating oil, comes
the knowledge that the Pennsylvania
lines west Of Pittsburg saved more
than 81 100000 in ten years by securing
more liberal contract than any, other
Galena for lubricating oils. .; ~, ~
This disclosure means, according to
the attorneys for the commission, that
if, as charged before the commission,
the Standard Oil company is receiving
rebates from the railroads in tho form
Of excessive prices paid the Standard
for lubricating oils, the Pennsylvania
lines west Of Pittsburg would have paid
the Standard Or company 81 .617 $3.50 on
years, had the railroad submitted to
paying the prices for oil, which all
other railroads willingly pay. l. .. -.
It is also said to prove conclusively
that the prices paid by all other rail-
roads in the country, except the Penn
sylvania lines west Of Pittsburg. to the
Standard Oil for lubricating oils is at
least SO per cent in excess Of the prices
that could be obtained from independ-

Christiania. June 16.-With the ap-
proach Of the coming week the coro-
nation of King Haakon and Queen
Maud is, the. one: topic uppermost in.
the minds of the people Of Norway.
The coronation will take place, not in
this city, which is the capital, but at
Trondhjem, to the north, and only three
degrees south of the Arctic circle. The
Norwegian constitution makes it oblig-j
atory that the king should be crowned.

1t is expected that more royal per

at one time. Doubtless all the coun,
tries Of Europe will be represented by
members of the reigning houses. AL
most the entire royal families of Eng
A.. land and Denmark will be present. as
we'll as several members of the imperial
house of Germany. There will be some
attractive and interesting women among
the royal guests, and, incidentally,
there should be, too, marvellous dis
play Of Jewels and toilets. =,
Fortunately most of the royal visit
ors are coming in their own yachts and
will not be dependent on the hotels

Ceremonies to Be Simple. ..
The Norwegian storthing has appro.
priated $4,000 for the ceremonies and
the town Of Trondhjem has also con-
tributed literally. But the expense
will be extremely moderate, as corona
tions go. The cost will be mere trife
! as compared with England's bill of
! 100000 for the coronation of King
Edward VII, and the 25,000.ooo that
was spent by Russia to bring the pres
ent car to the throne in a blaze of
glory.
Altho the Norwegian constitution of
1914 states explicitly that the, corona
ton shall take place with such cere,
; monies as the king himself shall deter
mine, it is fact that every king since
that date has assembled the throne with
practically similar ceremonies. These
ceremonies, more o: less altered; have
corae down from the time Of the ancient
Morse kings. They are, striking in
their simplicity when compared with
corcnutions in other lands. "a E:6'si*~S-s<
The bishop of Trondhjem, who will
offciate at the coronation, will. pour the
sacred oil on the kings naked breast
after which Premier Nicholson, assisted
by Il pastor, will set the crown on the
kings head.
