of his escapades. He was about nineteen
or twenty then and although l never saw
anything wrong in the boy all Pttsburg
also knew that Harry was not sane
WAS this trait of insanity evinced in any
other member of the Thaw family" he was
asked.
No" he answered decisively, that is
why it was so noticeable in Harry The
others were very quiet children, all younger
than Harry. Josiah especially. Contrasted
with his brothers and sisters, who were
sane, l know, Harry stood out from them
as an erratic and a mentally incapable
young man..
Did you ever talk of this to his mother"
mo; 1t wasn't subject which a mother
would like to speak of, and 1t was never
mentioned. but there was tacit understand
ing and every one sympathized with the I'M
fortunate mother
Then you would say, DOCTOR" he was
asked finally, that Harry Thaw was insane
when he killed Stanford Whittier"
Il would. indeed; being of unbalanced
mind at twenty. with the world still undis-
covered as far as he was concerned, surely
his round of pleasurabe life did not tend to
make his mind better. and therefore think
that If anything he was worse that night
by far than he was those fifteen years
before"

ARTS TO HONOR WHITE.
Various American Artistic Societies
Plan to Paw a Tribute.

NEW YORK, March 21.-Frends of the
late Stanford White preparing to hold
soon the Thaw trial is over, a series
of meetings at which they will pay tribute
to his artistic achievements and genius.
Plans for the gatherings have been dis
cussed for several weeks, but it was thought
best not to hold them while the current case
is undecided. The belief that the trial of
the slayer of Mr.. White will come to a close
speedily has renewed the discussion with
reference to the best methods by which to
give expression to admiration for the pro-
fessonal ability of Mr.. White.
Those who are interested in the plan are
actively connected with art and architec-
ture, together with many who patrons
of the arts and concerned in the many
plans for the beautifying Of the city to
which the distinguished architect gave
much thought and study. Mr. Charles D.
Barney is among those who looking
after the details of the meeting. One of the
points to be emphasized in the movement
will be the great loss which architecture
sustained in the untimely death of Mr.
White, and stress will be laid upon what
his work meant to various branches of
American art. Whatever may be the out
come of the present trial will not in any
way affect the general scheme.
Meetings will be held by the various So
cieties which form the Fine Arts Fedora
ton. at which tributes will be read and res
olutions formally adopted as part of the
records and then made public. Among the
societies which will probably follow this
course are the National Academy of De-
sign. the Architectural League of New
York, the New York Chapter of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects. the Society of
Beaux Arts Architects. the National Sculp-
ture Society, the Society of Mural Painters
the American Water Color Society the New
York Water Color Club and the Municipal
Art Society.
The original plan was to have a large
public meeting, but it was deemed better to
arrange for series of special gatherings
1t is likely that the resolutions of the va
rious societies will be gathered for publica-
ton in appropriate form.

ASSESSMENT
Is LEVIED
On Mohawk Annex 20
Pay for Prosecution OF
Its Officials

GOLDFIELD, September ia
civi suit has been filed against the
Mohawk Annex Mining company, by
13Z compliments, and it is possible
that the directors and promoters of
the company will be indicted by the
next grand jury for perjury and for
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses, as it was decided last night
at a meeting of the stockholders to
bring the matter to the attention of
that body, to which the evidence will
be presented by the district attorney
assisted by Judge Miner
The law states that stockholders
are entiteled to inspect the books of
any mining company in which they
are interested. 1t is alleged that all
access to the records OF the Mohawk
Annex company is persistently de-
MED, and that the conduct of the
company is fraudulent and deserving
of censure 1t is further alleged
that officials Of the company have
made false statements of its condi-
tiOns, financial and otherwise. 1t was
unanimously decided by the stock
holders TO levy an assessment of 81
per every 1000 shares as a fund to
defray the costs of the prosecution.

Viii Demand
Free Speech

RENO, September 13.-Joseph
Beckmeyer, a Socialist, who was ar
rested some time ago and fined $40
for hold ing meeting on a principal
street of the city in violation of a
city ordinance, is at present trying
TO organize a Citizens League to op-
pose the City Council ana fight
against the ordinance prohibiting
public meetings on the principal
streets of the city. He will make
a supreme effort to have the Citizens
League. force the Council to call a
special election to enable the citi-
zens to vote on the ordinance, but it
is thought that his efforts will be use
less.
In circular that has been scatter
ed ON the streets of this city, Beck
meyer claims that the City Council
of Reno is only attacking the Social
lists over the shoulders of the Sal
vation Army members and Rev
Burwell of the Methodist Church and
that the principal reason the public
speaking ordinance was passed was
to drive the Socialists speakers from
the streets.

Reno Again
After a Fight

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Jim May of Reno, New, is after a
fight between Joe Cans and Battling
Nelson for Thanksgiving day, and
yesterday made Nolan a proposition
to give the fighters a $4,000 purse.
Inasmuch as May some weeks ago
was SO anxious to sign up the same
pair of lightweights, or even Cans
and Britt, that he offered them a
$4,000 purse, it is quite possible
that Cans would stand out for that
sum even should the other details
be adjusted without difficulty. Mays
advances were made to Nolan in the
afternoon, and the manager of the
Dane proceeded on the theory that.
Champion Joe would jump at the
proposition. Nelson said that he
would fight, but that it must be a
winner-take-all"

ALL OUT

Hunters Hike In Every
Direction Game Report
ed Plentiful

Preparations which have been un-
der way for the past week, and some
that have been figured on since the
duck season closed last year, ter
minated today and everyone who
owns gun or can rent or borrow
one is hiking to the lakes, rivers and
hills in this vicinity in search OF
ducks, grouse and quail. Tonight at
twelve O'Clock will see the fun begin
and as the reports from the different
parts Of the country are to the effect
that game is plentiful many big
bags will probably be made.
The lake will be the mecca for
the majority of the hunters from
this section as the owners of land
along he river from Mactarnahan' S
bridge to Genoa have issued d man
date against anyone trespassing on
their land and the ducks that get in
on this stretch OF water Will be safe
from the guns of all except the fav-
Ored few who are On the inside and
get permits.
A number of permits have been
purchased at s. per from the Winters
people for permission TO hunt in the
tule fields On the west end OF WashOe
lake, but it is claimed these permits
will not hold as the California-Nevada
Electric company have an option on
the property A number OF people
viii go there after the ducks without
permit and no trouble will prob
ably arise. At any rate if every man
who goes hunting brings home game
the market will take decided slump
by tomorrow night.

A San Francisco dispatch has the
following in regard to the Bubonic
plague now raging in that city:
The spread of the plague in San
Francisco is now assuming alarming
proportions. although the sanitary
authorities there are still maintaining
their attitude of regarding it as not
a dangerous affair. Yesterday the
president OF the Chinese Six Com
panies died of this disease He was
a man who, one would think would
be guarded against such disease
as closely as any white man. Pre-
cautions would be taken to preserve
him from infection that would not be
taken in any ordinary case. Hence
the city is alarmed.
No land quarantine has yeD
been established against San Fran
cisco, but every port ol the Pacific
has been directed to examine all YES
sells clearing from that place. This
has been done by the Federal au-
thoritie5.
There have been "A cases OF the
