his deathly pallor there was nothing
about his appearance to arouse sus.
picion., He walked slowly up to the
table at which Mr.. White was sitting,
and stood for a bare moment facing
him from the other side.
Mr.. White looked up and half rose.
With a muttered imprecation the young
man pulled revolver from his pocket
and in flash had leveled it at the
breast of the man he regarded as his
enemy. Mr.. Whites body fell to the
floor on its left side. with the left arm
under the face. As Mr.. White fell back

calmly surveyed the excited crowd. He

reached his wife when Paul Brudens, Il
fireman stationed on the roof garden,
made him a prisoner.

MONEY FOR THE ROADS.
House Passes Bin Yesterday; Appro-
PIRATES. 5000, 900.

st. Paul, April l6.-The house yester-
day passed Senator Canield's bill to APP
propriate 100000 from the states gen
eral fund for roads and bridges through
out the counties. The money is to be
spent under the supervision of the coun-
ty boards. The highway commission is
left without any say in the matter.
Considerable question has been raised
ais to the constitutionality of the bill
and many claim that it is clearly uncon-
stitutional, but the house committee on
judiciary holds the bill constitutional.
r. j. Wells of Breckenridge voted
against the bill. I'VE are appropriating
100000 without knowing how it is to
be divided, whether on basis of popu-
lation or by counties. / cannot vote for
it." he said.

WOULDN'T TAKE CHANCES.
Relatives Of Harry Thaw Not to Go
His Bail.

Pittsburg, April l6.-"It is exceeding
ly doubtful if Mrs. William Thaw could
furnish the bail which would be re-
quired herself and it is good guess
that the rest of the family don't care
to take chances in the event that the
court would admit Harry Thaw to bail
This remark made by one close to the
Thaw family, voices the opinion of many
Pittsburg residents.
Although Harry Kendall Thaw, by his
escapades of the last fifteen years, has
not really "broke" his mother, he has
made big inroads on her fortune, so
that those who know believe she could
not stand more than another trial like
that just ended for Harry,
Mrs. Thaw has for some time been
trying to sell 'Lyndhurst," the famous
Thaw residence here, and is offering it
at a sacrifice-$40O ,OOO-in order to get
cash.
When Harry X. Thaw killed Stanford
White, Mrs. William Thaw's wealth
amounted to about Sl,5OO,OOO. This
comes from one very close to the Thaw
family and who is in position to say
that reports of the Thaw fortune, so far
as Mrs. William and Harry X. Thaw are
concerned, have been exaggerated.
Friends of Mrs. ThaW here declare
that she was SHIELD up" at fearful rate
by all who came in contact with her.
Aside from the huge cost of the recent
trial, it is estimated that Harry X.
Thaw cost his mother $l,OOO,OOO of her
own private fortune previous to the
killing of Stanford White. Since Harry
Thaw was twenty years old he has spent
no less than $4,000 per year and in the
fifteen years almost half of it has come
from his mother.

SOlOns Will Have to Cut the
Bus Bill.
CARRIES NEARLY $4,000, 900
State Tax Levy Will Run UptO 5.lS
Mills Unless There Is Some
Pruning Done.

From Tuesdays Daily.
1t would take direct state levy O.
SO mills for each of the next tw'
fiscal years to meet the demands fol
extraordinary appropriations now be
fore the legislature. The apprOpria
lions committee has bigger job OF
pruning on its hands than ut first
supposed In reckoning the total dis.
bursements the committee left out
100000 annually for the state pris'
on Irvine plant, at the same time
counting the plants receipts in the
total sum available. State Auditor
Iverson set that point right yesterday
So, counting the standing appropria-
tons, the necessary annual appropria-
tions. and the amount asked for new
buildings and other special purposes,
the demands come to a total of &c.
$4,000 for the two year period.
State Auditor Iverson reckons on
S9,600OOO income during that time
from corporation taxes, institution re-
ceipts. and other indirect sources. This
leaves a total of $1,2SOO0O, or $780,
600 a year for which a direct tax
levy would be necessary.
Added TO LIS mills levied for the
state school fund, the university, the
funding tax fund, the soldiers relief,
and the road and bridge fund, this
would make a total levy of SIS mills
for state purposes, as against 2.7s last
year. =
The levy for state revenue two years
ago was Is mills. Last year it was
l.2 mills.
There are some possible sources Of
revenue from bills passed at this SEES
sion. The registry tax on mortgages
may bring in 100000 a year to the
state. The new bills for taxation of
sleeping car and private ear line COM
panies will give some additional mon
ey, and other bills may possibly be
passed. The valuation may be raised
by a boost of iron range values, but
none. of these contingencies can be
counted on in framing the appropria-
ton bill and fixing the maximum tax
levy.
