DOCTOR TWO HOURS WITH THAW.
JelIiffe Is Called Because Regular
Tombs Physician Is Ill.

New York, April 19.-It became
known Thursday that DR.. Smith Ely
Jelliffe, one of the alienists who tes-
tilted for the defense in the recent
trial of Harry K. Thaw for murder,
passed two hours with Thaw in his
cell in the Tombs Wednesday night.
A. r. Peabody of Thaw's counsel was
present during the interview, but
neither he nor DR.. Jelliffe would say
anything.
Thaw had remained in bed Wed
nesday morning until nine o'clock, and
only arose to see his counsel, when
Warden Flynn suggested to him that
if he were i'll he might go to the hos
pital ward. 1t was said at the pris-
on that Mr.. Peabody had summoned
DR.. Jelliffe to attend Thaw because
DIR. Mcclure, the regular Tombs ply
sician, is suffering from slight at
tack of tonsilitis.
The latest report regarding the
man who will defend Thaw at his
next trial is that former Attorney
General Herbert T. Parker of Massa-
ckusetts, may be chosen. Parker
acted as prosecutor in the famous
trial of Charles Tucker, who was con-
victed of the murder of Mabel Page.
Roger O'Mara, the former Pittsburg
chief of police, who has had charge of
the detective work of the defense,
came to New York Thursday in re-
sponse to a request from Thaw. He
will have talk with the prisoner be-
fore returning to Pittsburg.

KAHN ACQUITTED BY COURT
JUDGE ANDERSON HALTS TRIAL
TO ORDER VERDICT.
Organizer of Cash Buyers Union
Held Not Guilty of Intent
to Defraud.

Chicago, April 19.-Julius Kahn, or
ganizer of the Cash Buyers Union
First National Cooperative society,
was acquitted Wednesday of the
charge of using the mails to defraud.
Judge Anderson interrupted the
taking of testimony and gave the case
to the jury, with the remark that if a
verdict of guilty were returned he
would set it aside.
Thereupon the jury, without leaving
the jury box, returned verdict of not
guilty.
Kahn reorganized the old Cash Buy
ers' union, by which he has been en-
ployed as manager, into the Cash
Buyers Union First National Coopera-
tive society, and as president of the
concern sent all over the country pros
pectuses and various kinds of itera-
ture in an effort, he maintained, to es-
tablish the biggest mail order bust
ness in the world on cooperative
plan. Certain dissatisfied stockholders
forced the concern into bankruptcy.
An investigation was made by pos
tai inspectors, who concluded that
Kahn had been promoting fraud. He
was arrested and brought to trial in
February of this year before United
States District Judge Humphrey. The
jury disagreed. The second trial was
begun before Judge Anderson on
April 5.
1t was maintained by the defense
that the literature sent out by Kahn
was not untruthful, and that he had
never had intentions of defrauding
anybody. Kahn has contended that
the majority of the shareholders ia
vored him at all times and were de-
sirous of promoting the organization
as far as possible.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A PRIEST
Dynamite Explosion Shattes Halle
ton (Pa.) Parsonage.

Hazleton, Pa, April 19.-An attempt
was made early Thursday to kill Rev.
Matthew Yankola, pastor Of St.
Joseph's Slavonic church in this city,
with dynamite. A heavy charge Of
the explosive was placed under the
entrance to the parsonage and tore
out portion of the porch, shattering
all the windows in the house and
splintering the front door.
There have been factional troubles
in the church for some time. One
faction has asked for the removal Of
the pastor, but without success. Sew
eral weeks ago Father Yankola re-
ceived letter from the "black hand"
threatening him with death unless
he left the city. He says the dyna-
hitting is the work of members of the
faction opposed to his retention. The
majority of the male members OF the
congregation are mine workers used
to the handling of explosives.

New York, April 19-The first con-

and Peace congress came to an end
Wednesday night, after a three days
session, with two large banquets, one
at the Hotel Astor and the other at
the Waldorf-Astoria. The event of
greatest interest was the decoration
OF Andrew Carnegie with the cross of
the Legion of Honor by the French
government, represented by Baron
DEstournelles De Constant, in appreci-
alton of his work for peace, and his
gift of the palace at The Hague.
The cross of commander of the
Legion of Honor was hung around the

Stead to Fore for Women.
New York, April 19.-W. 7. Stead
stayed away from a luncheon given
for journalists visiting the peace con-
gress because no women were invited
and later in the day he set forth his
reasons for so doing to the Collegiate
Equal Suffrage league at the Colony
club.
~ have been much struck here by
the extraordinary surface politeness
of men to women. If a pretty woman
tells a man that she has discovered
that by reading the numbers sideways
you can get two and two to make five,
he will say: Hang me, what a clever
discovery! Now, I maintain that
when people are fools and idiots true
courtesy demands that you shall tell
them so. Otherwise they may go on
being fools and idiots for the rest of
their lives. But women won't stand it.
'I got into a horrible row in Chi.
cago because l tried to tell the truth
to woman's club. / hope I shan't
get into row here. / used to think
that America was a paradise for
women. I was brought up in that
faith, but oh, the disillusion that
awaited me when I came here IA years
ago! In the home life American men
are kind and liberal. In fact, they
spoil their womankind and don't give
them the proper discipline that every
human being ought to have. But, out
side the home, they have not yet rec
ognized that women are individuals
The best half of the American nation
does not count.
Nothing gets me so angry as the
insufferabIe presumption C. the man
who says that women must not dc
thus and so because it is unwomanly
Confound his impudencei What right
has he to decide what is or is not
womanly?''
