Poughkeepsie, May 25.-Harry X
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White. will
not be released from the lunatic asy-
lum. This is the decision reached by
Justice Morschauser of the supreme
court in an opinion filed early this
morning in the matter of an applica-
ton for Thaw's release on a writ of
habeas corpus. Both points brought
up by Thaw's attorneys are decided
against him.
The justice declares that Thaw Is
now insane and should not be allowed
at large, and further declares his
commitment to an asylum by Justice
Dowling after the last trial of the
case was entirely legal.
Thaw's lawyers will apply to the
court for permission to place Thaw
in some other institution than Mat
teawan asylum and by stipulation
with the district attorney the prisoner
will be kept in jail here until Justice
Morschauser renders decision. The
justice is holding court at White
Plains this week and will not oe able
to hear the application until next
week.

4 HARD FIGHT.

The original appropriation which
Delegate Andrews set out TO secure
for the Irrigation congress and the
Industrial exhibit was only S25oOO.
A bill for that amount was introduc-
ed In both the House and Sena'e. In
the higher body, Senator Knox or
Pennsylvania, at the request of SEN
ator Penrose, who was III at that
time, introduced the measure. Then
a delegation from New Mexico went
to Washington and, among other
things, asked Delegate Andrews to
try and secure $4,000. Although
realizing that such an amount would
likely defeat the bill Delegate An
drews consented TO make the fight
Senator Penrose, at the request OF
Mr.. Andrews, introduced the bill for
$4,000 as n substitute for the one
of $4,000 and making 1t an amend
ment to the sundry civil bill, which
was then before the Senate and about
ready to go 10 a conference OF the
