NEW ISSUE IS
LEFT FOR THAW
SECOND HABEAS CORPUS CASE
TO BE TRIED
QUESTION or RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY RAISED
Slayer of Stanford White Makes State
ment In Which He Says Sufficient
Effort Was Not Made to
Prove Sanity
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, June 2s-
Harry K. Thaw will leave Poughkeep-
sic tomorrow morning in the custody
of Under Sheriff Townsend, who will
produce him In the supreme court at
White Plains. In obedience to writ of
habeas corpus issued Friday.
Thaw will be accompanied by his
new attorney. Charles Mauschauser. of
this city. who will ask Judge Mills to
grant a jury trial and to order him de-
tanned in any place other than the
Matteawan asylum until the question
of his sanity has been adjudicated by
a jury.
AS the question of Thaw's right to a
jury trial was not raised In the first
habeas corpus proceedings before JUS
tice Mauschauser. who decided Thaw
was insane and ordered him recon-
m1tted to Matteawan, 1t leaves a new
issue to be presented to Judge Mills.
From his room in the Poughkeepsie
Jail Thaw gave out a statement in
which he says: Before the last writ
was served we knew from our alienists
that my sanity was perfect, and there
fore made no adequate preparation for
the hearing before Judge Mauschauser.
The doctor at Matteawan told my law
yers and me, and told DIR. Pilgrim the
middle of April, after had been there
ten weeks. that he and DR.. Lamb had
watched me carefully and that they
were positive that had not the slight
est symptoms of paronoia. After what
he had stated to all these gentlemen we
were not prepared for the way he testi-
fed
in consequence of this, although Mr..
Jerome did not prove that I was not
sane, we did NOT prove my sanity as
thorough as we should have done, and
my short testimony late the last night
did not improve our case.
"All the doctors who have seen and
examined me have no doubt of my SAN
ity whatever, except DR.. Baker, and
until the writ was served and he vis-
fted New York no one could be more
positive than he was that had no de-
lusions of any kind and was absolutely
free from paranoia.
my counsel do not wish me to re-
turn to Matteawan, nor do 1. After
the confinement to which have been
subjected the association with criminal
lunatics might ruin my health.
"The fact that I am we'll mentally
and physically after two long trials
and nineteen months in the tombs and
three months at Matteawar In itself
practically proves that my condition Is
normal in every way"

town is "impregnable."
In Chihuahua there is considerable
alarm among the citizenry and guards
numbering from twenty to twenty-five
soldiers in a single patrol are continu-
ally passing through the streets. A
great many extra police have been
sworn in to do guard duty.
Both jails Of Chihuahua are protected
by reinforced guards, and troops are
stationed on the roofs of public build
ings. The officers in command of the
troops at Chihuahua have by special
orders been quartered with their men
in readiness to respond to an emer-
gency call.
Two hundred men of the Eighteenth
battalion, Mexican infantry, COM
manded by Col. Luis Ballerstos, ar
here, and will be distributed in the
vicinity of that town. These REIN
forcements make an aggregate of 500
soldiers stationed in Juarez.

evening, declared that no trouble in
JuaFez was anticipated and that the
Eighteenth battalion had been sent to
the border simply as a precautionary
measure.
Guards are maintained around the
jail and public buildings of Juarez and
ably responsible for a r,Imor that the
Juarez officials are informed of pro-
position to attack that city.
Governor Cardelias, of Coahuila, has
telegrapher the governor of Durango
notifying him that a number of the
men responsible for recent disturb
ances in his state have fled to Duran
go, and requestion all possible as
sistance in apprehending the fugi-
tives.
Three battalions of regulars sent by
thO ACoCioi government " StCctds "a
rived there today.
Information brought here tonight by
passengers on the incoming Mexican
Central train is that all bridges and
approaches to Torreon on every road
except the Mexican Central have been
burned.
The international line out of Tor
reon. on which is located the town of
Matamoras, reported to be in the hands
of revolutionists, has suffered heavily,
and the Coahuila Pacif1co is entirely
tied UP as the result of depredations
committed by the revolutionists.
A pay train on the Coahuila & Pa
cifico was attacked on Friday night
soon after leaving Torreon, but the
crew succeeded In running the train
back to Torreon and escaping. There
is a general movement of troops from
Mexico City to the north, according to
news received here, and reinforce
ments are being rushed to Jiminez,
which is said to be still in the hands
of revolutionists.

LONG BEACH, June 2s.--Residents
of this city are greatly excited over the
supposed drowning Of two men early
last evening. and until long after dark
launches were out trying to find some
trace of the men and the rowboat they
are said to have been in.
About 7:15 last night j. N. Covert,
who lives a short distance east of town,
claims to have seen two men In a boat
outside the breakers. The boat ap-
peared to be rapidly filling with water
and the occupants were greatly fright
ened. The men were waving their
coats, as II calling for aid.
Covert hurried to Long Beach ano
told Sergt. Phillips of the police station
what he had seen.
The owner of the launch Music was
found and the three men, with several
volunteers, hastily put to set. The
waves were high, but despite this fact
the launch went as far as Devils Gate,
east of the pier. Ma trace of the boat
or it's occupants was found. 1t is feared
the boat sank, and owing to the dis
tance from land it is improbable either
of its occupants was able to reach
shore.
Word was sent to San Pedro, but no
one there knew of any missing men.
None are reported missing from this
city. and 1t Is thought the two were
visitors from Los Angeles.
The search will be renewed tomorrow
morning in the hope that e. piece OF the
boat may be found and a clew to its
name secured.

WEALTHY RANCHER FINANCES
THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION

Ell PASO. Texas. June 2S.--Accord-
ing to G. w. Patton, mining expert,
who arrived tonight from Torreon,
funds for the incipient revolution in
northern Mexico have been furnished
by a wealthy ranch owner near Sal
tillo.
Although a recognized leader has
risen," said Mr.. Patton, sit Is general
ly understood that the wealthy ranch
man living near Saltillo. the capital of
the state of Coahuila, Is furnishing
funds for the revolution and has per-
sonally taken the field with the insur-
rectionists.
''Sympathizers of the revolutionists
advance as arguments in support of
the insurrection alleged over-taxation
by the federal government, made more
onerous by failure of crops, the two
combining to make hard times. They
claim demonstration in favor of for
eigners and influential Mexicans on the
part of the officials universally"
Business, he declared, was at
standstill and excitement intense. At
stations along the line from Torreon
to Juarez there were assembled great
crowds of excited Mexicans. At many
of the stations along the route muni-
cipal officers had been sworn in as
police to guard banks and railroad sta
tions.
The policy of the government. accord
ing to Mr.. Patton. is effectually to
crush the uprising before 1t can gain
any further headway and to prevent
any desertion of troops who might go
over should the revolutionary move
ment develope sufficient strength to
give of any success.
Mr. Patton said the eldest son of the
president, Major Porforio Diaz. jr., had
been quoted as saying the government
would lose no time in crushing the up
rising.
Local sympathizers of the revolutions
lists say there are between 800 and 400
men in sympathy with the movement
in small towns of Chihuahua near here
and in settlements along the border
within radius of twenty-miles from Ell
Paso.
A number of extra deputy United

here and there is an unconf1rmed re-
port in circulation that United States
