HARRY THAW IS
WELL GUARDED
STANFORD WHITES SLAYER A
COMMON PRISONER
PRIVILEGES ARE NOW GREATLY
REDUCED BY KEEPERS
No Longer Enjoys Liberties and Lux
uries Formerly Extended Hin-ls
Kept In Close Corridor at
Poughkeepsie
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July 2S.-
Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford
White, is not enjoying the same privi-
leges that were his during the early
part of his stay in the Duchess county
Jail.
When he first came here from the
asylum for the insane at MatteaWan
Thaw was harbored in the deliberately
furnished private apartments of Sher-
iff ChanIer.
After the sheriff's return from Europe
Thaw was transferred to the main por-
ton of the prison, but for a time he
was given free run of the jail.
Recently his liberty has been steadily
curtailed, until now he is kept confined
in one of the steel corridors of the prls-
on As there are no other prisoners IN
that portion of the Jail, Thaw is per
nitted to receive visits only from MS
LAWYERS and his wife; he is practically
in solitary confinement. Mrs. Thaw's
last visit to the jail was made more
than two months ago. About the only
privilege which Thaw still retains is
that of sending to a nearby hotel for
his meals.
Thaw's Music Nuisance
J1p to a short time ago he was al
lowed to practice on the jail organ, but
when prisoner known as stub Grlt-
fin, who is serving a science for rob
bling freight cars, complained that
Thaw's playing was a nuisance, that
privilege was taken from him.
1t is the restriction with regard to
the use of the telephone that Thaw
feels most keenly, however. when ne
had the freedom of the jail he used the
telephone as often as he liked, calling
his wife, broker ard friends at will.
"Thaw win make no complaint" sa1d
Charles Morschauser, his attorney. He
fears that should he make any Mr..
Jerome's aIienists will say he is deVel-
oping decisions of persecution at the
hands of Sheriff Chanler, and therefore
is q paranoiac.

As we readof the great Model License Law" so energetically pushed by the liquor element; of the great reforms they claim to be making in the conduct of their places of-We liked to have said business, but we will call it a traffic; of the millions of money poured down tC defeat prohibit ion; of the immense advertising they are doing at great prices, the question comes to us, what is it all for? Surely not for the es- tablishment of any great princi- pie of human liberty; not for any great step in human progress, not to make homes happier or lives brighter. Then what for? For what is all this wealth poured out? All these thousands of col umnS of advertising matter, all this hurrying of organizers and ralIying of forces? An! Only for selfish intereSts-that the brew CT may make more beer for his profit, the distiller more whiskey for his profit, that they may keep on selling poison to the bodies, brains and souls of men for their profit.
 All this is done that busi- ness @ may be perpetuated that is known to fill prisons, to keep the gallOws busy, to destroy the happiness of homes, to make little children hungry and to blight the hopes and lives of men,

DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease, another from nervous pros
tration, another with pain here and there,
and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over
busy doctor, separate diseases, for which
he, assuming them to be such, prescrlDes
his pills and potions. In reality, they are
all only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant of the

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
Bulletin.
THE STEEL COACH-A TRAVEL SAFEGUARD.

The Pennsylvania Railroad now has in operation on its
lines east of Pittsburgh over two hundred passenger coaches.
dining cars, baggage cars, and mail cars of the new all-steel
type.
The solid steel framework of these cars, designed to resist
shock and minimize the dangers of collision, is further strength
ened by the steel sheathing enclosing the body of the car. In
fact, everything about the coach is steel, save the window
frames, the cushions of the seats and the flooring. Such little
woodwork as enters into the makeup of the coach, the plush
with which the car seats are covered and the hair with which
they are stuffed is treated to a freproofng process, whilst the
indestructble and thoroughly freproof. 1t is built like a battle
ship.
The new coach is longer than the standard car generally
in use on the railroads of this country, and has a comfortable
seating capacity of sixty to ninety people according to the style
of the coach.
The unusual weight of the coaches give to them a soldity
that greatly increases the comfort of the passenger.
The seats are adjusted to a more convenient space and
angle, the coaches are all lighted with electricity and amply
ventilated in winter as well as summer by new and thoroughly
tested methods.
The interior finish of the coach is plain though pleasing to
the eye. The absence of ornamentaton enhances the idea of
strength and at the same time assures absolute cleanliness and
thorough sanitation.
Steel cars are now in use on the principal trains between
New York, Philadelphia, Washington and on the Main Line
between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. The number of cars is
constantly being increased as the finished product comes from
the shops.
The Pennsylvania Railroads equipment is recognized as
the Standard of America.
