HOLDS THAW BANKRUPT
Referee Renders Judgment, De-
spite Federal Order

PITTSBURG, Aug 12.-Harry K
Thaw was formally adjudged a bank
rupt today by Referee w. r Blair
This action was surprise to those in
terested in the case, as United States
Commissioner William 7. Lindsey had
set August u as the date for the adju-
dication.
No explanation of the change of plans
and this mornings action has been
made. but it is believed here that Re-
ceiver Roger O'Mara's visit to Thaw
at Poughkeepsie yesterday may have
had something to do with today's
move. OMara was hurriedly summoned
by Thaw on Monday.
No hearing was held previous to the
entering of the formal order of adju-
dication and Referee Blair has not an
nounced the date of the meeting of
Thaw's creditors Under --the law it
must be held not sooner than 10 days
and later than 80 days.
Every move in the Thaw proceed
ings has shown the determination of
Thaw and his<counsel to take his case
out of the New York courts and force
a hearing on the question of his mental
condition in the courts at Pittsburg.
An effort will be made to bring Thaw
to Pittsburg for the first meeting OF
creditors. and unless District Attorney
Jerome of New York is able to prevent
his coming it is believed Thaw viii be
in Pittsburg within 80 days.

ribIy mutilated Two were perma-
nently blinded and the limbs of others
had to be amputated. All the occu-
pants of the turret were injured.
