the jury ac1uit the defendant In the

X Thaw, after long hours Of anxiety
awaiting the return of the Thaw jury.
When 1t was understood that 1t was
almost an impossibility for anything
accurate to get from the juryroom
Mrs Holman was inclined to think 1t a
bad omen.
Beyond making the expressions
above Mrs. Holman had nothing to
say. Nor would her husband talk for
publication at this time.

Among the Men on Whom the Fate

Among the Men on Whom the Fate
of Harry Thaw Rests.
New York, April 12.-After delibcr-
ating for more than eighteen hours
without being able to reach an agree
ment the jury In the case Of Harry X.
Thaw reported before Justice Fitzger-
aid and asked permission to examine
large number of the exhibits intro
duced during the trial and also asked
to have read to them the testimony
of several of the eyewitnesses to the
tragedy.
Among the exhibits called for were
the letters which Harry Thaw wrote
to Attorney Longfellow shortly after,
as alleged, Evelyn Nesbit told him In
Paris the story of her relations with
Stanford White and the will and codicil
which Thaw executed the night Of his
marriage In Pittsburg ON April 4. 1905.
The letters and will were introduced
by the defense to show the mental
storm which, 1t is claimed, was
brought upon the defendant by the
story the girl related.
The jury also asked for the diagram
of Madison Square Roof Garden as 1t
was the night Thaw killed White.
This diagram was held up before them
as the court stenographer read from
the official record of the testimony the
evidence given by James Clinch
Smith, the brother.in-law of Stanford
White, to whom Thaw talked for more
than half an hour the night OF the
tragedy; the evidence Of Meyer Cohen,
the music publisher, whom Mr.. Del
mas had quoted in his summing up
address as saying that Thaw, after he
had sent Stanford White to his death,
held out his arms in the shape Of a
cross es priest might do at some
sacrificia. ceremony; the testimony
OF Henry s. Plaise; of Paul Brudy.
the fireman who disarmed tThaw: Of
Warren Paxton, the engtaeer of the
roof garden. and other witnesses.
Again Hear EveIyn's Testimony.
Lastly the Jury asked to have read
to 1t the testimony of Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw so far as 1t related to the shoot
ing, the testimony of Thomas Nc
Caleb as to where the party was sit
ting on the roof garden and the testi-
mony of DR.. Allan McLane Hamilton
as far as it was allowed before the
jury. DR.. Hamilton was allowed dur
ing the trial to testify that he had
made four visits to Thaw following
the tragedy and had formed an opin-
ion as to the defendants then mental
condition What this opinion was he
was not permitted to state.
Foreman Smith also asked to have
read that portion of Justice Fitzger-
AIDS charge relating to the testimony
Of Doctors Evans and Wagner.
In referring to the testimony OF
these two experts Justice Fitzgerald
said they had made personal exam
ination of the defendant and that
whatever the defendant said to the
experts and was considered by them
In reaching an opinion was competent
evidence for the jury to consider.
The action of the Jury In asking for
the particular exhibits and the testi.
mony. indicated led to much specula.

FIFTEEN DIE IN WRECK
Disaster on the Canadian Pacific
Near Chaplain, Ont.
BROKEN RAIL DITCHES TRAIN

Five Coaches Roll Down an Embank-
ment and Are Destroyed by Fire,
Nine Adults and Six Children Being
Reported as Missing.
Fort William, Ont, April 12.-The
worst wreck In the history of the Ca
madam Pacific railway occurred near
Chapleau, 800 miles east of here. Fif-
teen persons are missing and are be-
lieved to have been burned to death
in the coaches. The wreck was caused
by broken rail, which ditched the
train, the two tourist cars rolling
down an embankment into small
lake below. Passengers fought their
way through the flames and number
of people in the coaches were pulled
out badly burned, but still alive. Most
OF the passengers received more or
less serious injuries.
Montreal, April 12.-Nine adults and
six children are missing as the result
Of wreck on the Canadian Pacific
railway west of Chapleau, Ont. The
following official statement was issued
by Mr.. McNicoll, vice president of the
Canadian Pacific railway:
about twenty-five miles west of
Chapleau, Ont, the westbound trans
continental train was partly derailed,
caused by a broken rail. Five cars
ran down an embankment and caught
fire, said to have been from the cook
ing stove. Nine adults and six chill
dren are missing.

ulon as to what the trend their long
discussion had been.
One of the widely discussed theories
was that the jurors either wanted to
refresh their memories as to testi.
mony tending to show either delib.
Grafton or premeditation on the part
of Thaw, or else they wanted to have
the story Of Thaw's actions the night
of the tragedy rehearsed once more in
order that they might Judge as to his
nationality. The suggestion of the
latter purpose seemed to be given
weight by the fact that they desired
to examine the letters, the will and
the codicil brought forward by the de-
fense In support Of Its claim Of insan-
ity.
Serious Differences Apparent.
1t was generally conceded that seri-
ous differences of opinion had devel-
oped among the Jurors as to the evil
dence and that verdict Of any sort
was still remote. The examination of
the Thaw letters and the other dccu-
ments called for will require much
time
Thaw faced his judges with every
indication of confidence. He, Of all
the members of his counsel and his
family, is still hopeful of favorable
outcome. The best that his counsel
expects is a disagreement Of the jury.
They have feared from the time the
Jurors retired that there might be a
compromise among them or some
lesser degree Of guilt than murder in
the first degree The action of the
Jury In calling for the testimony did
not inspire the attorneys to any new
hope.
The Jury came into court again dur
ing the afternoon and asked for read
ing of the judges instructions regard
ing the testimony of the defense alien
lists. This request was granted, but a
request that portions of Attorney Del
mas summing up be read was denied,
the Judge saying 1t was not evidence.
The Jury also asked to be instructed
as to what weight should be given to
opinions based on hypothetical ques-
tions. Justice Fitzgerald had that
part of his charge, In which he said
the opinions were not to be given the
same consideration as facts, read to
the Jurors.

kUMER|C HUI MAN
BACK WITHOUT COIN

Hirano, the japanese representative
of the Kumeric hui at Vancouver, re
turned yesterday on the Sierra, but
without any of the twenty-five thou
sand he was sent north to watch. He
brings the sad tidings to his waiting
countrymen here that their money had
gone beyond recall and once again have
the hopes of the hui members been
dashed to the ground
Hirano brings a tale of distress to
the effect that the japanese consul at
Vancouver, Morikawa, grabbed the
show money, divided up with the Van
couver hotelkeepers and informed the
representatives of the hui that there
was nothing doing when he put in a
demand for the return of the good coin.
Nobody believes Hirano's tale, but
that doesn It affect the fact that ff-
teen thousand dollars of Honolulu coin
is in Vancouver and likely to stay
there.

Col. John T. Baker, of Hilo, has a
letter in the current number of the
Aloha Alma, written from Tahiti, in
which he speaks of the family of A. p.
A. Salman, the Tahitian Prince whom
the San Francisco papers say is on
his way here TO marry Queen Liliu-
okalani.
That the Queen has been expecting
a visit from her royal cousin of Ia
hiti, there can be no doubt. That he
will marry her is more confidently
stated in San Francisco than believed
among the Queens friends and inti-
mates here.
Col. Baker, in his letter to the Alo-
ha Alma, speaks of attending a birth
day celebration of Tati Salman, the
youngest son of Mote Toaraatia Sal
man, and the Salnan, who is now in
San Francisco and expected here. is
another brother. Col. Baker says the
who was the late Mrs. John Sumner,
who died in Honolulu in 1898, and a
relative OF Queen Pomare. 1t has been
said that she left Tahiti to come here
to be the wife of one of the Kane
hamehas but meeting John Summer
on the way she fell in love with him
and married him.
According TO some of those in Queen
Liliuokalani's confidence, A. p. A. Sal
man is expected here very shortly,
and while here he will be the guest
Of the Queen.

| MAN CHONG PROVIDED
WITH CLOTHES To ESCAPE

1t now appears that the escape of
Man Chong, the murderer, from the
prison gang at the Makiki quarry, was
a well planned and seemingly deliher-
ately carried out affair.
According to the latest information,
Man Chong, instead of watching an op-
perfume moment and suddenly disap-
pearing into the brush, either imme-
diately before his disappearance from
the view of the guard, or Immediately
afterwards. deliberately went to a
water tap and washed himself and
changed his clothes, leaving his convict
garb at the water tap, with the evil
dence that he had washed himself.
Presumably the clothes he put on,
when he took off mis- convict garb, We're
civilian clothes,-Chinese civilian
clothes-and by the same token they
must have been provided for him by
somebody and taken to where he got
and put them on by someone inter-
eSted in his ESCAPE,

NO THIRD TERM
SAYS NICHOLAS
Presidents S0n-in-LaW Talks
of the Matter in San
Francisco.

The San Francisco Examiner of Sep
tember 13, says:
If Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of
President Roosevelt and member of
Congress from Cincinnati, speaks with
any authority, and it is generally be-
lieved that what little he says has the
sanction of the chief executive, Theo-
dore Roosevelt will not be a candidate
for denomination as President, and all
the power of the Republican party can
not compel him to remain in the White
House for the next four years. Long
worth speaks guardedly, particularly
with reference to his father-in-law,
but on this occasion uttered decisive
words that viii be heard with interest
throughout the entire country.
Congressman and Mrs. Longworth
returned yesterday on the liner Korea
from a two months visit at Honolulu,
and went to the Fairmont Hotel. They
expect to remain here until tomorrow
before proceeding direct to Cincinnati.
He, said they had enjoyed the outing
in Hawaii very much. He said Hawaii
was prosperous and that the Japanese,
who number about 10000 people in the
islands, We're very peaceable and that
the trouble with them on the mainland
was not duplicated in Hawaii.

Longworth, for / have not read the
newspapers and have heard little or
nothing. So Fairbanks was here, was
he?' Longworth smiled as he added,
Il met him when he was on the way
to meet the Christian Endeavorers at
Seattle before l went to Honolulu, but
didn t know he was coming down this
fars''
Asked about reported interview
with him as he was leaving Honolulu a
week ago regarding the probability of
Roosevelt running again, Longworth
said he had not been interviewed.
When the substance of the alleged
interview, in which it was stated that
the President might run again if con-
ditions were favorable and the con-
vention made a practically unanimous
demand that he head the ticket was
quoted, Longworth said quietly, but
with emphasis, ''but there will be no
conditions. -
The President s son-in-law was re-
minded of the conditions at Philadel-
phia when Roosevelt was nominated
for Vice President against his viii,
and of having at that time accepted
the conditions that arose.
"Yes, [ remember" said Longworth,
'.but there will be no conditions this
time That was all the diplomatic
son-in-law would say.

CUT OFF WOMAN's
HAIR IN REVENGE

Being unable to secure repayment of
the passage money he had paid for a
steerage berth to Japan for Sikato
and afraid of inficting bodily injuries
for fear of the vengeance of the watch
full police, Hirano got his satisfaction
by seizing the woman and cutting off
her glossy, black tresses and then
throwing her out of his house. Hirano
is now under arrest by the Federal
authorities for importing women into
the country for immoral purposes and
yesterday fled a bond for $500 for
his appearance in court to answer the
charge.
On a recently arrived steamer from
the Orient two japanese women arriv-
ed and were taken in charge by Hirano
at the immigrant station. He took
both women to his house, on River
street, where he runs a soda water
store, and turned them over to the
safe-keeping of his wife. Here they
were told what was expected of them.
Both women were Mortified, having ex-
pected to be placed somewhere in Ho-
nolulu as domestics, and both made
attempts to escape. One of them at
tempted to elope with Taniguchi, whose
she had made on the voy-
age, but her escape was discovered by
Hirano, who intercepted her flight,
dragged her back into his house and
slashed off her hair.
The row which developed over this,
however, led to Hirano' s arrest.
