"A few days later he came hack.
This time he seemed more at ease.
but he was sim laborine under strong

He now introdueed himself AS near.

81 am Harry kendall Thaw, OF
Pittsburg. You may have aeard Of me.
] want to tell you Of man who has
ruined more young girls than any man
in New York. He is particularly CIV.
en- to pursuing the young girls of the
stage. 1t Is a debt which society owes
to itself to halt him now before he
brings shame and sorrow to any more
victims.
"'He has come into my own life in
such way that 1 desire above every.
thing else to see his practices stopped
In order that others may be spared
the suffering he has brought upon me
and mine. His name is Stanford
White. He is an architect and he has
an infamous den in the tower OF the
Madison Square Gerden.'
THAT, in effect, was his statement"
continued Mr.. Comstock, although,
of course. 1 asked him great deal
more of the matter. He left after Sc,
curing my promise to investigate. He
agreed to pay the cost of looking into
the case. He at once mailed me a
check of sufficient size to defray the
necessary expenses and subsequently
wrote me several times upon the sub
feet. asking each time what progress
we were making.
Charges Are Proved True.
Our investigation confirmed to a
great degree what Thaw had told me.
Our detectives were astounded at
what they discovered. We worked
hard and 1 learned great deal, but
of all cases these are the hardest to
prove under the rules of evidence and
before risking an arrest determined
to catch White redhanded In his In,
EQUITY.
81 learned that his rooms in the
tower were as Evelyn Thaw has re.
scribed them during the trial. Two
of our detectives endeayored to hire
rooms in the same tower in order tc
watch his goings and comings. The
deal was almost completed when one
of the detectives made bungle
Something he said or did gave the
alarm to the janitor. and although we
were on the waiting list for long
time and although several apartments
in the tower were vacant, we were
never able to secure d suite or a sin
gle room. We were still vainly try
ing to arrange trap from which there
would be no escape for White when
he dismantled his room in the tower
Eve got partial evidence OF other
things-things that convince me that
what Harry Thaw's wife now swears
is true. believe her story and
base that belief upon what know OF
the man. The last time 1 saw Harry
Thaw was only two or three weeks be
fore he shot White. He appeared tc
be in desperate state-like man
who is well night frantic. He said "
me wildly:
Thaw Feared Death.

Deadly Enemy to Rocky Mountain
Forests to Be Extermnated--Dis-
covery BY New Mexican.

Washington, May 15.--The forestry
bureau has taken steps to eradicate
the Englemann spruce beetle which
has been attacking Rocky Mountain
foresS, AS result of investigations
made Wy A. u. Hopkins of the bureau
of entomology, in the Lincoln forest
reserve. in New Mexico, an effective
campaign can be waged against the
pest
The government entomologist dis
covered that the grubs may be killed
by removing the bark from the lower
trunks Of the trees before the first
part Of May. The broods pass the
winter and spring in the inner bark
of trees attacked by the parent beetle
during the preceding summer. That
as many as possible of the insects
might be destroyed, the forest service
during the past spring permitted the
free use Of infected timber to all per
sons who would remove the bark
from the lower and middle parts OF
the trees. The peeled logs were al
lowed to remain in the woods until all
the infected trees that could be felled
were down and the bark removed
The work Of fighting the destroyer
can be successfully accomplished only
before the first part of May. This
years campaign is over, but will be
renewed next spring.

SLOW PROGRESS
In HAYWOOD CASE
indications Are That it Will Be An
other Week Yet Before Jury
is Secured.

Boise, Idaho, May 15.---With ten
men in the jury box who have been
passed for cause by both the prosecu.
ton and the defense, the trial of W.
D. Haywood was resumed this morn.
ing. 1t is very probable that not more
than two or three of the jurors now
in the box will be allowed to remain
after an examination with the privi.
lege Of peremptory challenge is
completed. This means that it will
yet be sometime before the trial jury
is completed.
The examination of talesmen in the
selection Of the jury today developed
the existence of prejudice against
Harry Orchard. While under examin.
alton by the defense, Samuel Wingate,
passed by the state, frankly said he
was prejudiced against the unoffered
testimony of Orchard. Wingate said
he would absolutely refuse to accept
Orchards story. Judge Wood sus-
tanned the states challenge. The de-
Tense took an exception.
Later another tales1nan said he, too,
would be unable to give the testi.
mony of Orchard the same credence
as he would give the testimony OF
other witnesses. The indication OF
this feeling led the state to cover this
point in the subsequent examination
of all talesmen

BROUGHT TO PEN
FOR SAFE KEEPING
Francisco Baca, Charged With Being
Accomplice in Brutal HilIsboro
Murder, Put in Prison.

Sheriff Ed Tafoya of Sierra County
arrived In the Capital on the noon
train from Hillsboro, having in charge
Francisco Baca, whom he brought to

complice of Mrs. Valentino Madrid and
Alma Lyons in the murder of the

Prepare for Hanging.

Special to the New Mexican
Hillsboo, n. NJ, May 15.- Feeling
here is very bitter against Mrs. Val
entina Madrid and Alma Lyons, who
were convicted here in the district
court last week Of the brutal murder
of the Madrid woman's husband and
who were sentenced to hang by Judge
Frank w. Parker.
There is little hope that the ser
tence will be commuted, as majority
of the people are in favor of the exc.
cution of the death sentence. The
hanging is set for June 7th and al
ready preparations are underway fol-
the erection of the scaffold
The prisoners are closely guarded
but as they are women there is not
much danger of their escaping
Neither seem to realize the enormity
of their crime. Both have strong
hopes of escaping the gallows by hay

SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT
Counsel Suggests Legal Pro.
ceedings Be Instituted -
Not Yet Accepted.

New York, May ia portion Of
the Recommendation of Attorneys
Frank B. Kellogg and Charles Sever.
ance to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission concerning the Hartman rail
road investigation, has been published
here. 1t reviews the testimony and
holds that railroad competition has
been suppressed over an area equal to
one-third of the United States; that
contracts between the Union Pacific
and Rock Island Railroads for the con.
troll of the Alton Railway, as well as
contracts between the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific for the control of
the Illinois Central and the San Pedro
roads are all violations of the Sher-
man antitrust act.
The report recommends that Attor-
ney General Bonaparte institute pro.
ceedings to annul these agreements
and also recommends that there
should be new and effective laws to
prevent the imitation of railroad secur'
tiles and declares that the profits OF
the great railroad systems OF the far
West are being used to buy stocks and
control systems in the East instead OF
building more roads for the develop
ment of the West as they should be.
Washington, May 15.-The recon-
mendation of Messrs. Kellogg and Sew
erance in regard to the Hartman rail
roads has not yet been accepted and
confirmed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission so that they stand at pres
ent merely as recommendations to the
Commission and not as report OF the
Commission itself.
Chairman Knapp and Commission
ers Harlan of the Interstate Commerce
Commission say that the commission
has not yet made its report on the
recommendations
