much argument brought no result, and

FUND TO CLEAR THE DEAD
The report was published today that
a large fund has been collected in this
city to clear Stanford Whites reputa-
tion of the injury inflicted by the
story of Evelyn Thaw.
1t was reported that lawyers had been
engaged to go over Mrs. Thaw's testi-
mony and to engage detectives to se-
cure evidence to refute it, with the in
tention of giving the information SO
obtained to District Attorney Jerome.
The story. however, lacked confirma-
ton.
Another report declared that Harry
Thaw will be put upon the witness
stand in his own behalf to testify that
since his wife told him her story as re-
lated in court he had been visited by
visions which warned him, that his
wife's life was in danger from Stan
ford White This was also unverified.
EVIDENCE FROM THE TOWER
Another report today was to the ef-
feet that the counsel for Thaw today
called upon the New York police to
produce certain evidence which they
were alleged to have obtained from
Stanford Whites rooms in the tower.
According to this report, Thaw's coun-
sci aver that detectives searched the
rooms the day following Whites death
and found a large amount of women's s
wearing apparel.
1t was reported today that the de-
fense will call to the stand on Monday
a Pittsburg lawyer named Perkins,
who is said to have drawn up the
Thaw will.
The purpose in calling him is said to
be the Identification of the document.
Peabody said today that Perkins could
also tell how it happened that the will
was made up of so many loose pieces
of paper, and could give the reasons for
and the source of the interlineattons
in it.

SAYS WHITE WAS MONSTER
Anthony Comstock Declares Thaw's
Wife Told Truth on the Stand

Wife Told Truth the stand
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-Anthony Com
stock, lying dangerously Ill or pneu-
nonia at his home in Summit, N. j., this
afternoon gave an authorized interview,
which is one of the most important
contributions to the history OF the
Thaw case that has yet been furnished,
with the exception of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw's own story told under oath on
the stand in the trial of her husband
for sthe murder of Stanford White.
II know that Stanford White was a
human monster" said the invalid head
of the Antivice Society. Il know that
much of what Mrs. Harry Thaw has
stated as a witness is true know
that Stanford Whites den in the tower
of the Madison Square Garden was as
she has described it. What l know /
learned after had been given the first
clews by Harry Kendall Thaw himself.
II learned positively of one case
where White became too much inter
ested In a girl only 10 years old al
most identically as Mrs. Evelyn Thaw
described her own case; but the girl
was in the chorus of a road company,
and we could not reach her and make
a witness of her. We got partial evil
dence of other things-things that con-
vince me that what Harry Thaw's wife
now swears IS true. belleVe IN her
story, and I base that belief upon what
know of the man.
Two of our detectives endeavored
to hire rooms in the same tower in
order to watch Whites goings and
comings. The deal was almost COM
pleted when one of the detectives
made bungle. We were still trying
to arrange a trap from which there
would be no escape for White when
he dismantled his room in the tower.
II will willingly sign a statement to
the truth of all that 1 have told you,
and were / well enough l would swear
to it in court If I were asked to do So"

delphia this evening and held con-
ference with A. s. L. Shields, the noted

saying he had simply. come to Phila-
delphia to rest and get away from 1t
and that he would say nothing about
the object OF this visit
Shields is thoroughly posted on the
state laws of New York, and his posf-
ton is believed to be purely an ad-
visory one He stated that he would
not. leave for New York to take any
part IN the trial and refused to give
any information regarding the points
In the case which are being submitted
to him. One of the most important
Items to the insanity defense which will
be put up in Thaw's case comes from
this city. An aunt of the prisoner, a
sister of his father. is confined here in

brated Pennsylvania institution for the
mentally afflicted.

Judge Sauve has been retained by

and division of the assets which be-
longed to the town Of Iron River

the former was created in 1901, and
no settlement of accounts was ever

young man. I notice that you
do not attend school any more, "
says an exchange. "What's the
matter? Think you have received
enough education to carry you thru
the world, or do you stay out just
because you do not like to go? Well
let me tell you that you will find the
meanest teachers on earth now a
dream of love beside some of the
bosses yov will have to work under
in the cold, unfeeling years that
you will have to pillow into when
you get out and hustle for yourself.
Education is the most valuable
thing in the world to a man, but to
a boy it comes the cheapest. It
cost you nothing now to get what
many man would give all he had
to possess. Loaf around a few
years and you will always be on the
blank. 1t is true any fellow can
make Lying but you will notice
the fellows who do do it with their
muscles. At this stage of the
game choice jobs are not held by
strength. Education will not sneak
up and crawl into your head while
you are asleep. The thing for you
is to pike eff to school and stay
there. Your holidays will come
later when you need them"
