JEROME QUITS
 THAW HEARING Withdraws from The Noted Case. EXPENSES ARE TOO GREAT Justice Mills Denies Jury Trial for

White Plains. N. r.. Sept 26.-Harry K. Thaw's plea for jury trial to de- termine his present mental condition was denied today by J'etice Mills in the Supreme Court.
 At the same time. however. Justice Mills informed counsel in the case that on October next he would give Thaw summary hearing under the application and that in the meantime the prisoner be held in the county tail here. one of the interesting developments of the day was the formal withdrawal from the case of District Attorney Jerome or New York, who conducted the prosecu- ton of Thaw at both trials and who has had an active part in the enorts to prevent Thaw obtaining his free dom. since he was committed to the asyum for the criminal insane at Mat teawan.
 MT. Jerome's announcement of his vithdrawal was made after Justice Mills had declined to direct transfer Of tbe hearings from White Plains to New Work. Mir, Jerome said he did not feel Justified in incurring any more expense to his office in connection with the case outside- of his own county. However he offered his personal assistance to District Attorney Winslow of West Chester County, who now will assume inc conduct of the case against Thaw.
 Justice Mills in his decision today held that the original commitment or Thaw to Matteawan was lawful ana authorized by the criminal code

BUYERS ASKED NOT TO BUY

Little Rock. Ark. Sept. 26.-"The present situation due to the appearance of night riders in Arkansas which has already had a marked effect on the cotton market In some parts of Arkan- sas. appears to me as being very serious one.
 T intend to ask John Bowers, of Jacksonville. Ark, president of the Arkansas Farmers Union. to immedi- ately call an emergency session of the Arkansas Union for the purpose of taking steps to check the night rider movement or to write to all unions and ask the leaders to help check 1t. , T believe the only solution of the situation is for the business men and cotton buyers to refuse cotton"
 The foregoing statement was made tonight by R. H. Mccullough. of Be- bee. Ark. chairman of the executive committee of the Arkansas Union and secretary of the national organization of the union.
 If his directions are followed out the merchants of Arkansas will cease to buy cotton, as they have at Paragould. Ark, where night riders have ap- peared.
 Night riders have appeared at El Paso. Ark, and warned merchants not to buy cotton and some farmers not to sell. No damage has been done.
 Governor PindaIl was asked tonight if he was considering calling out the troops to check the night riding move ment.
 The matter has not been called to my attention" he said.

A DOUBLE SUICIDE
MOTHER AND SON END THEIR
 LIVES TOGETHER.
Deep Grief Over Death of Member of The Family The Cause--Three Bodies Found in
 Rooms.

New York. Sept. 26-The bodies of Ella and Edwin Foden and of their mother, Mary Foden. were found in Avenue. Brooklyn today. the mother and son evidently having committed suicide together In their grief over the death from apparently natural causes. of Miss Ella Foden.
 The body of the latter was dressed in white and apparently laid out for burial, but it lay in a pool of blood. while the bodies of her brother and mother were found in an inner room on a bed together with the bed clothes pulled over their heads. A strong odor or chloroform pervajed the room
 A search disclosed revolver leading 10 the belief that the young woman had been shot, but 1t was fully loaded and an examination then seemed to show that she had bled profusely through the mouth apparently from a hemorrhage from the lungs By the bed on which lay the bodies of mother and son. there were three bottles which evidently had contained a mixture of chlorofOrm and whskey Copious draughts having failed to kill them. they had apparently satuated the bed covering with the drug and then smothered themselves under It.
 A letter written by Edwin left no doubt as to a double suicide plot be- tween him and his mother It was ad- dressed to nobody bore no date. It was as follows:
 My sister Ella. the best and sweet est and most unselfish. affectionate and iovable of sisters Is dead. This world without her seems uncomfortable. will follow her and so will mother. She would be too exhausted to live alone. My mothers brothers. Christopher, John and Philip Wentzel of Parma. Cuyhaga County. will bury us. Please notify them"

REPUBS IN PANIC
HARD KNOCKS BY FORAKER ARE
 HURTFUL.
Washington People Regard Strictures On Roosevelt And Taft By Ohio Senator As Disas-
 trous to c. O. F.

washington, D. C., Sept. zs- fsneciaI Senator Foraker's terrific arraienment of President Roosevelt and Judge raft has undoubtedly eans- ed a startling sensation in political and business circles of this section Of the country.
 Men who have just come over from New York declare that there has never been anything like it. So far as can be ascertainned this soon after the pub lication of the statement the concensus Of opinion among New York and Phtla- delphia business men of Republican persuasion is that the Ohio Stpator has made out a good case for himself in answering the Hearst and Roose- welt charges in that he has shown by the correspondence published that his employment by the Standard oil re- lated only to state ousineTs and had nothing to do with any Legislation te- fore Congress. He also is given C'tdit for having put the blame for the trsi- ness depression where il, in u cir opinion, belongs on the Roosevelt ad- ministration.
 On every side 1t seems to be conced- ed that the break between Taft and Foraker splits the Republican party wide open. It means that Bryan Is certain to carry Ohio, and 1ld roli- ticians assert that when he t;clSled Foraker the President got hold of the toughest political fighter ever e1coun- tered by him, and will find cut that the fracas has just begun.
 Foraker's positive assertion that mo self-respecting black man can now possibly support the Republican ticket" has already worked up tho negroes here and in the adjoining coLn- ties of Maryland and Virginia. The negroes nearly all swear by Foraker. and this pronouncement on his part will intensity the revolt among tLe blacks against the Republican party.
 The average Republican met In Washington today had a face on him about as long as a horses head. To say they are gloomy does not half ex- press 1t. They are panicky and hard ly know what to expect next

1HAW IS IMPATIENT.
He Demands an Immediate Move To-
ward Securing His Release.

New York, Feb. 5.-Harry K. Thaw
has demanded of his attorneys that
they take immediate steps to secure
his release from the Matteawan asy-
lum for the criminal insane. 1t is re-
ported that Thaw demands absolute
liberty, but, being denied this. Is willing
to spend a time in a private sanitarfum
where he can receive treatment that Ia
to his liking. Thaw was acquitted
on Saturday Of the murder Of Stanford
White on the ground that he was in
sane when the crime was committed.
He was Immediately sent to the Mat
teawan asylum. Martin w. Littleton,
who was Thaw's chief counsel during
the trial, is known to favor Thaw's
remaining at the asylum for several
months, or until public sentiment has
had an opportunity to change before q
move is made for his release. Mr..
Littleton, however, was engaged, 1t Is
said. solely to conduct the case In
court. and is therefore acting at the
present solely because Of his natural
interest in the case.
MT. Littleton last night attended
conference of Thaw's family and per-
sonal attorneys at which the matter Oh
his removal to some other institution
than the Matteawan asylum was dis
cussed 1t is said that he stated at
this conference that he did not believe
it wise to ask for a writ of habeas
corpus at this time and stated that
Thaw might be removed to private
sanitarium by order of the state board
Of Iunacy, in case the board could be
convinced that he would be better Off
in such an institution. Mr.. Littleton
expects to leave for FLORIDA today or
tomorrow and expects to remain there
for three or four weeks.
