Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 1.-THE trial of
Harry K. Thaw was halted again today
ress for fifteen minutes because of the Sc
rious illness of Mrs. Joseph b. Bolton, wife
of juror No. II. Mrs. Bolton had been
suffering from pneumonia before the court
opened. and it was said that she was in the
crisis of the disease. Fifteen minutes after
Justice Fitzgerald took his seat Capt. Rick
etts of the court squad entered hurriedly,
whispered to the justice, and consultation
ensued in front of the bench in which the
district attorney and the lawyers for the
defense Joined Then Justice Fitzgerald
announced that the court would be ad-
journed until o'clock. 1t was the gen.
eral impression that when the court recon-
vened then it would be adjourned further,
possibly until Monday morning.
This message received by Capt. Ricketts,
came from Dr. H. H. Tinker. who was at
tending Mrs. Bolton. He said that at that
time Mrs. Bolton was being kept alive by
means of oxygen and that her death might
occur at airy minute. For this reason. he
said, her husband should be at her bedside.
Mrs. Bolton Dead.
Mrs. Bolton died soon after her husband
reached her bedside.
DR.. Britton D. Evans, the insanity expert
who testified that Thaw was not only insane
at the time of the shooting of White. but
also for some time after, was recalled to the
stand at the opening of the court. 1t was
the intention of Mr. Delmas, of counsel for
the defense, to get in evidence the remarks
that Thaw made during the three first ex-
aminations the expert made, at which time
DR.. Evans said that he found Thaw of un-
sound mind.
Hitherto the district attorney had fought
against the admission of Thaw's declara-
ton, because up to the time of the pre-
ceding arguments on the point it had not
been admitted that the defendant was In
sane at any time while he was in the
Tombs. Mr.. Jerome declared that IL 1t
were the contention that Thaw was sane
after the shooting the statements he made
| in prison could not be admitted In EVIL
dence.

Thaw was insane on the occasion Of his

Larchmont are not to blame in any way.
In view of the horrible conditions which
prevailed Immediately after the accident,
1 am satisfied the men did all in their power
to meet the situation as conscientious and
honorable men. 1t appears from my inves-
tigation that the schooner luffed right into
the Larchmont and caused the accident
which resulted in such great LOSS of life
"The fact that the steamer sank so soon
after the crash: the fact that so many were
unable to reach the boats even after they
were put out, is, to my mind. sufhcient
proof that the crew acted bravely and did
all in it's power to aid the passengers who
were able to reach the deck.

At THE White HOUSE
Discussing the Scope of the
Next Hague Congress.
PROGRAM Is PROPOSED
Resolutions of the Interparliamen-
tary Conference.
PETITION FOR TARIFF REFORM
Chief Pleasant Porter Discusses Polit.
ical Conditions in Oklahoma
Panama Canal Contract.

The next Hague conference was discussed
at the White House today, the President
showing an intense interest in all ques-
tons dealing with arbitration in disputes
between nations. Representative Richard
Bartholdt, chairman Of the American group
to the interparliamentary conference, and
Representative Williams of Mississippi each
saw the President. Representative Bar
tholdt presented to the President the reso-
buttons that were adopted by the last inter-
parliamentary conference, and in personal
letter explained the history of the resolu-
tons, which propose a program for The
Hague conference to work upon. 1t was
this proposed program that Mr.. Bartholdt
desired to lay before the President, who
will instruct the representatives of this
government as to what questions he most
desires to see pressed.
The resolutions propose that The Hague
conference be given more permanent infiu-
ence in the work of spacifcation, and that
the powers should agree upon periodical
meetings instead of leaving the time to ne
gotiation.
1t is proposed with much emphasis that
The Hague conference give especial atten-
ton to the question of limitation of arma-
uents, each nation being asked to appoint
commissions for the study of ornaments
with view Of International agreement to
Other suggestions for the conference to
deliberate upon are these:
Defining contraband of war as being re-
stricted to arms, munitions Of war and ex-
plosives.
Reasserting and confirming the principle
that neither the ship carrying contraband
nor goods not contraband may be de-
stroyed.
Affirming that between belligerents pri-
vate property shall be immune at sea as on
land.
Considering the propriety of prohibiting
the use of new types of rifles, guns and
marine engines Of war; also the lombard
ment of undefended ports, towns and Yil-
lagos.
Representative John Sharp Williams is in
accord with an idea Of the President that
the representatives Of the various powers
to The Hague should be permanently ap-
pointed by each power and placed upon a
reasonable salary. and that no representa-
tive shall be permitted to practice before
the conference in private cases. Mr.. VIII
liams thinks this would give permanency
to The Hague conference and lead to better
results.

CAPTAIN LEFT FIRST
SEA TRADITIONS SHATTERED BY

PROVIDENCE. r. L., February IA
new element was injected into the horror
attending the loss of the steamer Larch-
mont in Block Island sound Monday night
through a collision with the schooner Harry
Knowlton when Capt. McVey of the steam
err early today admitted that his life boat
was one of the first, if not the first, to leave
the sinking ship. This statement was made
in reply to charges by Fred Hiergsel, an
eighteen-year-old lad of Brooklyn, one of
the survivors, that the passengers were
left to shift for themselves; that the ship S
crew crowded the boats without attempting
to provide for the passengers and that Capt.
McVey was the first to desert the ship.
The statement of young Hiergsell created
a sensation in view of the fact that ten of
the nineteen survivors were employees on
the ship, or, in other words, that While ap-
proximately 20 per cent of the vessel crew
was saved, only per cent of the passen-
gers survived.

Thaw is Discouraged.


Thaw witnessed the break in the trial with
equanimity, but it was said that he was
much disappointed that the proceedings did
not continue and very downcast. His law
yers had difficulty in cheering him up. His
counsel We're also plainly disappointed, as
they had been greatly pleased, they said,
with the showing for Thaw thus far made.
There was good deal of speculation this
morning as to just what might happen in
regard to the Thaw trial should Mrs. Boil
toms illness result fatally. According to
some the trial might be continued after a
delay of two or three days should the juror
be able to give the case his best attention
after his bereavement. In this event, how
ever, there was also to be considered the
feelings of the other jurors, who would thus
be kept away a longer time from their fam
lilies and business. 81.
The question whether to continue the trial
or not is within the discretion of the court.
Some Precedents Perhaps.
The first trial of Nan Patterson ended
abruptly because of the illness of one of the
jurors. Justice Davis waited for two days
and then, learning that the juror would I'M
doubtedly be i'll for a much longer time, dis
charged the jury. There are said to be
precedents in this state for the continuance
of murder trial with only eleven men in
the box when the withdrawal of the twelfth
has been due to circumstances rejecting no

first three visits it was apparent that the
witness was to be allowed to tell about
the remarks that Thaw then made. Any
remarks that he made during the following
five visits were to be excluded. On these
last five visits, DR.. Evans had sworn, he
found Thaws mind still impaired, but
somewhat improved.
The expert was just beginning to tell of
the first visit and what Thaw said then
when the abrupt halt came in the trial.
Mr.. Bolton left the jury box before the
other jurors, and, accompanied by an Of

Captains Explanation.

Capt McVey explained that while his
boat may have been the first in the water
it was because he had a good crew and
that he remained by his ship until She
went down. He said that he made no move
to get into his boat until he had given Or
ders to his men to lower all boats and clear
away the RATS. While his boat was in
the water it was fastened to the ship by
a rope in the running gear that had become
caught and this was cut by Boatswain An
drew Tobeson. who saw that with the ship
settling rapidly the boat and its occupants
would be caught in the whirlpool and suck
ed beneath the surface.
The captains boat on the windward
side and he said he called to the passen-
gers to jump into his boat, which would
hold about twenty-five people in all, but the
electric lights had been eXtinguished and
in the darkness and confusion no one
needed his summons. Everybody was on
the leeward side of the ship, and he ordered
his men to row around there he claims, but
the gale baked this plan, and as the boat
was driven away from the steamer his men
had to give up their task and crouch down
in the bottom of the boat out Of the way
of the piercing wind,

Capt. McVey Accused.

Capt. McVey Accused.
The statement made by young Heirgsell
is as follows:
My state room was almost at the point
of collision on the port side of the steam
er. I was in bed with my clothes on and
when 1 rushed on deck found the officers
reassuring the passengers and telling them
that they were in no immediate danger.
The captain left his steamer in the very
first boat.
Il cannot be mistaken as to his identity,
for l saw him the Kentucky we
came over to Providence this afternoon
and he is the same man who stepped into
the first boat launched from the sinking
vessel. The second boat was taken pos
session of by gang of negro walters.
These men seemed to have lost their heads
and so many of them crowded into the
boat that it capsiZed as soon as it struck
the water and l believe that all of them
were lost.
II got into the third boat with five other
men. There were no oars in the boat. and
we were obliged to drift with the wind and
the waves. Four of the men were seated
the side of the boat and another man
and myself We're seated on the opposite
side. throwing the boat off it's balance.
I'VE drifted for several hours, and when
we were near land big wave struck the
boat and capsZed her. The five men who
were with me were drowned, but soon
as 1 struck the water l began to SWIM
and although my hands were terribly
frozen and my arms felt like lead, l sue
ceeded in reaching the beach"
