EFFORT TO RELEASE THAw
Insanity Case Comes Up for Hearing
Today.


POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, May A.
Public interest in the case Of Harry
X. Thaw, slayer OF Stanford White.
was revived this morning. when Thaw
endeavored by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings to secure his release from
the Matteawan hospital for insane
criminals.
The writ was issued by Judge Nor
schauser at White Plains on April %,
on the application of James G. Ora
ham, an attorney of Newburgh. Dis
trict Attorney Jerome of New York
will try to prevent the discharge OF
Thaw, who, under the law, is insane.
The first step in the court proceedings
will be a motion by Mr.. Jerome TO
have the trial transferred to New
York county.
Mr.. Jerome thinks II will be more
convenient for witnesses to have the
trial in New York. and he has pointed
out that it will cost Duchess county
$40. 900 to have the case heard there.
Matteawan is 16 miles from Pough-
keepsie. and it will be more conven-
lent to the hospital management to
have the case tried there.
Thaw will be brought to Pough-
keepsie by DR.. Baker. acting superin-
tendent of the institution, and two
attendants.
DIR. Baker will testify that Thaw is
not mentally fit to be given his lib
erty. One of the insanity experts
who have examined the patient will
be put on the stand by Mr.. Jerome
Among the experts retained by
Thaw's attorney to testify as to his
mental condition are DIR. Charles w.
Pilgrim. superintendent of the Hud-
son River State hospital and DR.,
Charles H. X. Lane OF Poughkeepsie
Family Not Opposed.
NEW YORK, May Airs. Will
lam Thaw, mother of Harry X. Thaw
issued statement through her coun-
sci, Colonel Bartlett, in reply to the
rumors that she is opposing her sons
release. 1t reads:
II am authorized by Mrs. William
Thaw to say that the story to the
effect that the Thaw family is op.
posed to Harry Thaw's release is will
full untruth. 1t is not necessary for
them to take any active part in the
matter, nevertheless they are all in
full sympathy. At no time has Mrs
William Thaw been reconciled to her
sons detention in Matteawan. but
the summary order of the court was
so swiftly carried out that there was
no opportunity for remonstranct
against committing him."

DAHO POLITICS
AND MORMONS
Seen By An Impartial Cores
pOndent in the Field

their alignment appears to be quite
generally intact.
The history of Idaho politics for
the last two years, together with re-
cent developments in connection with
the republican organization, appears
to have a tendency in the direction
of enhancing rather than allaying
the Mormon issue. The Mormon
members of the last legislature acted
together throughout the session with
such absolute and unbroken unity
as to cause a schism in the repub-
lican ranks in the house, and the
Mormon counties this year have
taken the aggressive leadership in
putting their mark of approval on
the Organization" program.
From the trend of events to date
1t appears that the entire Mormon
influence is to be thrown to the sup
port of the Brady program. This.
together with the policy of the or
ganization is practically eliminating
the independent republicans from
participation in party matters, is in
creasing rather than lessening the
dissatisfaction in the party on the
Mormon issue.
BY procuring the selection in many
counties of delegates to later county
nominating conventions thus early
in the campaign, thereby shutting
out the possibility in those counties
of later instructions, the organiza-
ton is rendering practically certain
the reelection of Senator Hepburn,
in the event a republican legis-
lature is chosen, and precluding the
possibility of another miscarriage of
its plans such as occupied two years
ago, when Chairman Brady was Stat
ed for the senate, but was displaced
by Senator Borah through his control
of county nominating conventions.
Chairman Brady's advocacy in an
address to the Bannock county con-
vention last Friday of the passage
by the legislature next winter of a
state direct primary law is accepted
as pledging the party to that issue,
but similar law was promised in the
state platform of two years ago, q
pledge which was violated by the
subsequent legislature at the instiga-
ton of the organization leaders
With the increasing popularity OF
that method of nominating candi-
dates, however, it is not probable
that another legislature will presume
to ignore the demand for its enact
ment, though the acts and utterances
of the party leaders and possible
legislative candidates on the matter
are being watched with the closest
scrutiny by advocates of the meas
ure.

Thaw FrOze In Until a Thaw Comes.

New York, Feb. S.-No Immediate
move will be made to secure the re-
lease of Harry X. Thaw from the
insane asylum at Manhattan, accord
ing to an interview credited to A,
Russell Peabody 1t has been prac-
tically decided that there is no way
under the law by which Thaw can be
confined in a private sanitarium in
stead OF the Manhattan institution
and his lawyers and family are said
to have agreed that 1t would be
unwise to ask for his release now.
Martin w. Littleton, who conducted
Thaw's defense in court, left yester-
day for q six weeks vacation In
Florida, and 1t is possible that nc
move will be made in the case be-
fore his return. It is said that the
physicians at the asylum will not
recommend Thaw's release until they
have had from sixty to ninety days
in which to observe him.

trade paper hanger, has tramped the
streets in futile effort to find work.
His dailJ rounds were noted by the
neighbOis, who, when the man failed
to appear as usual to-day, forced an
entrance to his home and found the
family of three dead. The bodies of
Sackman and his wife wsre stretch

the father was nestled the lifeless

of death, and an empty cupboard ex-

OUT-OF-STATE MAN
NAMED ASSISTANT
Adjutant General by Gov
ernOr Wilson.
IS A VETERAN OF SAN JUAN
Expected TO Cope With the
Night Riders of West
ern Kentucky.

Frankfort, Ky, Feb Ito cope
with the night riders of Western
Kentucky Governor Wilson has Sc
cured the services of Captain w. n.
Hughes, of Columbia, Tenn, a Unit
ed States amry officer recently sta
toned at Memphis, who will take
charge of the State troops during an
indefinite absence of Adjutant Cen
eral p. IL. Johnston, who goes to
New York and Florida for several
weeks, possibly more.
General Johnston, however, was
desirious of seeing some one at the
head of the State militia during his
absence who was thoroughly familiar
with military affairs, and a request
was made upon the war department
to detail an officer here during his
absence. There were several appli-
cants and among them it was decid-
ed that Captain Hughes was the
most desirable and best qualified. He
has seen much active service in the
army. He became a member of the
Thirteenth infantry in 1879, and was
continuously in the service for
twenty-five years.
During the Spanish-American war,
CAPTAIN Hughes was in command of
a company at San Juan and did val
liant services.
A few years ago, however, he re-
tired fhlh active service and has
been at the head of the military de-
partmenls Of several of the Southern
colleges since that time. Captain
Hughes has the appearance of a
militiaman and General Johnston is
satisfied that he will be able to bring
the department up to a standard un-
equalled in any OF the States.
lie had twenty-five years service
In the army. He was checked in
to-day, and it is likely that his first
service will be to suppress the ac-
tivities of the night riders in Wes-
tern Kentucky, who raided Dycus-
burg and Eddyville.
