District Attorney Jerome Of New York
Decides TO Allow That Manner Of
neutrality-suspicious. Not to Re.
main in Insane Asylum.

White Plains, N. Y, July 14.-Pro-
ceedings in Harry K. Thaw's applica-
ton were Monday adjourned until the
September term of the supreme court
Of Westchester county. This arrange
ment was entered into before Judge
Mills by Thaw's counsel and District
Attorney Jerome OF New York. In the
meantime Thaw will remain in the
custody of Sheriff Chanler of Duchess
county and will stay in the Jail at
Poughkeepsie.
The agreement to adjourn the pro-
ceedings to September had been en-
tered into by stipulation by District
Attorney Jerome of New York and
counsel for Thaw before the case was
called Monday.
Judge Finally Agrees.
When the stipulation was presented
to Judge Mills in court he said at first
that he did not approve the agreement.
inasmuch as counsel were not agreed
as to where Thaw should remain in
Jerome who was present finally joined
in the request that Thaw be remanded
to the Poughkeepsie Jail after Mr..
Morschauser had threatened to with
draw the agreement and insist upon
an immediate hearing on the main
point at issue. Justice Mills then
gave his approval to the proposed adj
journment and directed that Thaw be
remanded to the custody of the Dutch
ess county sheriff until September 81,
when he will be again produced before
Judge Mills at White Plains and argu-
ments will be made on the application
for jury trial.
Thaw expected his wife to meet him
in the courtroom here Monday, and
expressed himself as greatly disap.
pointed when she did not arrive on the
early train. from New York.

Matteawan he gained in weight, but

LONG LEGAL BATTLE OVER ITS
OWNERSHIP.

mother for Possession Of Fa-
theirs Estate Contest Ex
tends Over Ten Years.

Littleton, Mass.-The question OF
ownership Of little church pew in
the First Congregational church, seat
Ing five persons, was the last obstacle
to be overcome in q contest extending
over ten years, and it has cost the OPP
posing factions of once happy family
not only the loss of much time, but
also large sums of money.
Tucked away on the side of one Of
the many hills that abound in this
town is the estate left by the late
Theodore c. Fletcher, comprising
about GO acres.
The late Mr.. Fletcher was held in
high esteem by all the residents of the
town, and his example of caring in
good shape for his farm was we'll fol-
lowed by his stepson.
When he married the present Mrs.
Fletcher Mr. Fletcher had two sons
by his first wife, Hammond and Daniel,
while Mrs. Fletcher. who was previous
to her marriage Mrs. Titcomb, had
two sons, Ora and Walter.
On the death of Fletcher, IA years
| tate was made.
The estate was to remain in the
hands of Mrs. Fletcher, while the two
sons bearing the name of Fletcher
were given money consideration and
relinquished all claims. The old family
pew in the First Congregational
church was to remain in the name Of
Fletcher.
The estate was valued at about
| $1,000. About ten years ago Hammond
| Fletcher, SO it is alleged, became dis
satisfied and, enlisting the support of
his brother, put in the claim that they
had not received proper treatment in
the distribution of the estate. A legal
| fight was made to obtain possession
of part of it.
i 1t is alleged that their claim called
| for more than the estate was valued
| at. The matter was carried from one
| court to another until it reached the
| highest tribunal. The findings were al
ways for the widow, her fight being
handled by the son, Ora Titcomb
The estate could not, however, be
legally settled until the ownership OF
the pew had been established. Some
time ago the widow, Mrs. Fletcher,
sold the pew to her son, Walter Tit.
comb, for $40, and the claim was made
by one of the Fletchers that the pew
was worth $3.50.
In the probate court at East Cam
bridge Judge Lawton was called upon
to decide whether or not the pew came
under the head of real estate. With
the decision would come the final set
tfement of the contest that had been
continued for ten years.
| Fletcher claimed that his only wish
was that the church pew should re
main in the family, but that he did not
have $50 to buy it back, whereupor
i the counsel for the Administrative re
piled that If the. pew was all he want
ed he could take it and consider him
self indebted to Titeomb for $40. The
matter was finally settled on this basi.

Baltimore, Md, July 14.-The iden.
tiflcation of one of the hats found

The Republican Party's Own Answer

The Republican PartY's Own Answer
In his address to the republican ma
tional convention, Temporary Chirman
Burrows referred to the republican
victory in 1904, and then asked: 4In
view of this Endorsement, it becomes
pertinent and opportune toinquire, what
has the republican part done in the last
four years of government control to
forfeit public confidence or create dis
trust in its capacity for future admin
istration?"
For this question the Rochester (New
York; Union and Advertiser finds a
striking answer This is the answer
which the Union and Advertiser takes
out of the mouth of Senator Burrows
own party: "In the broad effect of its
policy it has precipitated panic, blight
ed industry and trade with prolonged
depression, closed factories, reduced
work and wages, halted enterprise and
crippled American production. Every
consideration of public safety and in
terest demands that the government
shall be rescued from the hands of
those who have shown Themselves in
capable of conducting it without dis
aster." From the republican plat
