Thaw Wants Immediate Release
From Matieawan Asylum
LITTLETOp FAvoRs WAITING
In Case Absolute Liberty is Denied
Thaw Would be Willing to 60 to a
Private Sanitarium Where he Could
Receive Treatment to His Liking.

NEW YORK, Feb. s,--Harry K,
Thaw has demanded OF his attorneys
that they take immediate steps to
secure his release from the Matteawan
Asylum for the Criminal Insane. II
Is reported that Thaw demands abso-
lutely liberty but being denied this, is
willing to spend a time in a private
sanl.arium where he can receive treat
mcnt that is to his liking, Thaw was
acquitted on Saturday Of the murder
Of Stanford White on the ground that
he was insane when the crime was
committed. He was Immediately sent
to the Matteawan Asylum. Martin
W. Littleton, who was Thaw's chief
counsel during the trial, is known to
favor Thaw's remaining at the asylum
iof several months, or until public
sentiment has had an opportunity to
change before 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 time solely be-
cause of his natural interest in the
case.
Mr., Littleton last night attended a
conference of Thaw's family and per-
sonal attorneys at which the matter
OF His removal to some other insti-
tuition than the Matteawan Asylum
.was discussed, 1t is said that he
stated at this conference that he did
not believe il wise to ask for writ
OF habeas corpus at this time and
STAGED that Thaw might be removed
to a private sanitarium by order of
the state board of lunacy in case the
board could be convinced that he
would be better off there in such an
institution,
Mr. Lttleton expects to leave for
Florida today or tomorrow and ex-
poets to remain there for three or
four weeks

MADE OPENING STATEMENT.
Hency Grills Hall, His Associates and
His Political Friends.

PORTLAND, Feb. 5.---Franc;s j.
Heney, for the government today,
made the opening statement to the
jury in the John II. Hall conspiracy
case. His arraignment Of Hail and
bis associates and political friends
was terrible. He spared no words ii
his condemnation and said Hall had
used his Office to protect bis powerful
friends but had vigorously prosecuted
the smaller and less influential offend
ers. Judge Webster, for the defense,
will begin his final argument tomor-
row morning and will probably oc-
eupy the entire day. 1t is expected
the case will be in the hands OF the
jury Friday afternoon.

LISBON, Feb. 5.-The situation
here is quiet. The troops are less
conspicuous and if Saturday, the day
Of The funerals, passes without inci-
dent, the present crisis may be re-
gard as at an end.
The funeral of the late king and
crown prince on Saturday will be at
tended with ceremonies Of most i'm
pressivc dignity and with tie display
OF ali that mourning pageantry which
attends the obsequies of Portuguese
monarchs The ceremonies will be-
gin at 10 o'colck in the morning.
In spite of the present tranquility
throughout the country there are pes
simists who believe the revolutionary
activity is more widely spread than
appears on the surface and that the
situation is not improved by the com
bination Of young and inexperienced
king under the dominance of his
adored mother with reactionary cleri-
cal tendencies, makeshift ministry
and premier who is a socialis;
rather than statesman.
Pessimists believe Franco is ar.
ranging the selection Of new leader
!or the sssenerator Of the progressive
party. frances father was attacked
by mob on the street today.
The king today signed several de
crees Of conciliatory tendencies.

lhey were arrested in Los Angeles

S. Marshal on warrant based on a
complaint sworn to by Antonio Lo-
zane, the Mexican ambassador to the
United States, which charges that
trio murdered an unidentified man
and robbed the postofice at Jiminez,
Mexico. Their attorney bases the
petition for writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that neither the origi-
nal complaint filed before the com
missioner in Los Angeles, the indict-
ment based on the removal proceed
ings, nor the evidence taken before
the commissioner and district attor-
ney show conspiracy.

To HAVE ARM
CUT FROM SIDE
SOUTHERN MAN MUST UNDERGO
AN OPERATION AFTER SKIN
GRATING PROCESS.

LOS Angeles, November 4,-Chas.
Schssler, the Ocean Park merchant,
who was the subject five years ago OF
the worlds most wonderful skin graft
ing, has so far recovered that he will
soon undergo the unique operation OF
having his arm cut from his side. His
arm and side have grown together
during the long time he has had to lie
in an almost unchanged position. The
bone in his wrist will also have to be
broken and reset.
The original operation on Schissler
attracted the keen interest of medical
science everywhere. He was knocked
into u vat of boiling water by an eX-
plosion and rescued when scalded al
most to death. II was found that only
skin grating could possibly save him
| An appeal was made to his fellow
lodgemen of the Modern Woodmen Of
the World and they donated G00C
pieces of skin, with which his entire
left side was covered. Six more pieces
were needed and these were taken from
Mrs. Schisslers arm Scarcely a mari
now remains where it was applied, 81
well did the grating succeed.
