MOTHER TO APPEAR
AGAINST DAUGHTER
MRS. HOLMAN LIKELY TO GIVE
EVIDENCE NOT FAVORABLE
TO HARRY X. THAW.

NEW YORK. Jan. s.-The lack Of
unanimity between Mrs. Harry Thaw
and her mother as to what stand the
latter will take at the trial OF Stan
ford Whites murderer, is distressing
ly In evidence. With the ordeal of the
young millionaire only three weeks
away the defense's calculations are an
balanced Int indeterminate. because
of Mrs. Charles ]. Holman, the moth
er of Evelyn Nssbit Thaw.
The daughter is steadfast In the be.
lief that Mrs. Holman will not consent
to give evidence damaging to Thaw.
Mr.. Holman declared:
my wife will be at the trial. and,
If called upon as a witness, will tell
the truth. Nothing can swerve her
from her purpose. She has suffered
II ore than the public has any idea OF
This means that Mrs. Holman can
tell a story which will he disastrous
to the theory that the defense will
offer, which comprehends that It was
Whites treatment of Evelyn Nesbit
that drove Thaw into the hot madness
that eliminated when he shot White.
Letters Of Mrs. Holman to White
told, with circumstances. how Thaw
had maltreated and abused, physical.
ly and verbally, the slight girl whom
he afterwards married. In these let.
ters Mrs. Holman made no secret of
her destation and adherence toward
fhaw. From sources that are reiia.
BILE 1t is learned that Mrs. Holman's
mood toward ,Thaw has not changed
and that she will not say one word In
his favor. Positively, she will be
against him. She will tell her story
to the Jury and let the deductions be
drawn.
1t is puzzling the prosecution to tell
why Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw as.
sumes to be so positive that her moth.
er will help Thaw. The estrangemsnt
between the mother and daughter vas
complete before the murder, and the
breach has not been healed. Mrs. Hol.
man has not seen or communicated
Harry Thaw's wife since the murder.
CONSERVATION prevailed among
those fighting for the defense of Thaw
when it was announced that Mrs. Ho!.
Fan was coming here to testify
against Thaw. Mrs Thaw said:
"If District Attorney Jerome says
my mother is coming to New York to
assist in the prosecution of my hus'
band he is telling an untruth."

Of the war Office.
1t appears tina the great transfer OF
the wal office staff from Pail Mall to

A Baby Rhinoceros.

From the New York Herald.
On board the White Star steamship
Cedric, which arrived yesterday from
Naples, was a FIVE months old rhin-
oceros, which vas captured when two
weeks old near Lake Victoria NyanZa,
German East Africa. The animal was
brought to this country under the care
of H. o. Lang, who for the last two
years has been exploring in Africa,
and it will be tent to the geological
gardens of the Bronx.
The baby %rhinoceros vas kept most
of the time in a pen on shipboard, but
twice a day the explorer, assisted by
several members of the crew, took
the animal on deck for exercise.
Curious passengers iocked about
and watched the animal as it walked
ur and down. Toward the end of the
voyage 1t became tame and would al
low persons to pat 1t. Seven cans Of
condensed milk were fed the animal
each day.
While in Africa Mr.. Lang heard OF
the rhinoceros having been captared
and obtained the animal from a man
named Fisher, who, to get the baby,
had to KIN its mother. So far as Mr..
Lang can learn there are only four
male baby r~hinoceroses in captivity.
| What price was paid for the animal
could not be learned. 1t was insured
for $4,000 during its trip.
The steamer brought thirty-seven
cases OF animal skins and bones gath

They are to be shipped to the Amerh

on H. c. Hops spirited little black;
Miss Miriam Corthell on the Eykyn

The wild horse race always presents
a tumultuous spectacle and this year
the mounts seemed even more frac-

dozen entries, but no man really

themselves from the whirling, kicking,

the heat. several never succeeding in
