HABEAS CORPUS
FOR THAN

POUGHKEEPSIE, n. y, June
27.-Thaw's counsel made another
effort today in their desperate
struggle to save Whites slayer
from confinement in Matteawan
asylum for the criminal insane, by
obtaining a writ of habeas corpus
for the purpose Of demanding an
investigation into Thaw s mental
condition by jury. The order was
signed by the justice who decently
decided that Thaw is dangerous
parOuiac.
The new action is brought on the
ground that as Thaw was acquitted
on the ground of insanity he could
not be legally restrained without
formal inquisition as to his mental
condition at the present time.

To RUN ONO
FOR MAYOR

J. T. ONO for mayor. This just
now appears dream, but never
the less, that is the ambition of
Mr.. Omo's and his friends. 1t took
a year for Mayor Moore to accom-
plish Omo's elimination from the
board of works, which showed that
ONO carries a strength both in the
republican and democrat ranks.
Omo's ambition now Is to defeat
Mayor Moore at the primaries for
the nomination on the republican
ticket The mayor has said that
one term suits him plenty.
The democrats are boosting e.
0. Conner and want him to enter
the race. Conner is a strong dem
ocrat and perhaps the likeliest man
for the nomination among the
democrats. In the event that he
should run he will be opposed by
N S. Pratt, former councilman.

With the chances favoring the
Taft-Roosevelt side at this time,
1t would be rash to predict a Taft
victory. :
Bryan Is probably stronger
than he was in 1900. There are
many sore spots in the republican
party ranks. Labor and the color
ed vote are republican handicaps.
There will be enthusiastic
claims on both sides; but to the in
dependent observer trying con-

err all essential clements, the scales
will not be seen to tip very far to
either side at the present time.
