The Lesson of Thaw's Life.
Sanford Express.

Sanford Express.
Harry K. Thaw has been sent back
to Mattewan prison. The reader is
familiar with the career Of this young
man, whose hands are stained with
the blood of Stanford White, the
great architect. He is an exaggera-
ted example of the second generation
OF American plutocracy. His father,
once a penniless boy, became an iron
master in Pittsburg. and by hard
work, shrewdness and favorable cir
cumstances, piled up millions that
gave him little pleasure and did his
children scant good, as the sequel
shows. When William Thaw drew
his last will and testament he had
come to realize this and sought to
remedy the evil of his millions by
devising that Harry should receive
50, 800 a year in the hope that he
would set about life's tasks in a seri-
Gus manner. William Thaw's wife
was a foolish woman, for she at once
made abortive her husbands act by
providing all the money her son
could well spend-SS, 900 a year in
the form of an allowance.
There is little to admire in Harry
X. Thaw or his type, but one can
hardly help feelings of pity for a
young man caught in the vortex OF
the circumstances in which he has
been madly swirling all his life. In
his case the line between moral degen-
eracy and mental accountability has
been more clearly drawn than ever
| before.

Supreme Court
Effort Will Be Made to Keep Greek
Found Guilty Of Murder from

A hard fight will be put up to save John
Masauredis' neck from the moose. 1t VIII
be waged before the supreme court,
though, of course, a motion for new
trial will first be argued before Judge
sutton.
There is little or no likelihood that the
district court will sustain such motion,
but for the records sake 1t will have to
be made.
The chief point which will be argued to
the supreme court is that the written
statement of Lilly Breese, made to the
county attorney, was inadmissible and also
that the question put to her about her
evidence before the coroner's jury was
improper,
The supreme court can do one of three
things: Sustain the verdict as II stands;
refuse a new trial, and commute the SEN
tence to life Imprisonment; grant new
trial.
Masauredis took the result of the con-
viction with more calmness than would
have been imagined, He still protested
that he was innocent, because the officer,
he said, fired first, and added, II can
die once only, anyhow"
Lilly Breese is with her mother, who
has remained in the city over the trial.
The older woman is living in Grand Island
and viii return there. Friends have in
terested themselves In the girl and are
seeking a position for her.

Business Houses
Rearranglng to
Give Bank Home
Sew Corn Exchange State Bank Will
Occupy Rooms in Barker Block
to Be Remodeled.

Some arrangements in the business dis
trict will give Omaha a bank between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets on Far
ram; one of the wholesalers and retailers
Of coal will occupy the corner Of Sixteenth
and Farnam streets and with the prin-
cipal officer OF George & Co., active in the
interests Of the proposed City National
bank the real estate firm will seek a good
location elsewhere.
While stockholders have not voted on
any Of the propositions as far as the
banks are concerned. this is the lineup:
The Corn Exchange State bank, the in
stitution organized from the bank of Hay
den Bros, will occupy the rooms now
used by @. w. Hull & Co; the Hull com
pany will move to the Board of Trade
building, occupying the rooms of George
& Co.
But George & Co have a lease on their
present offices which does not expire
until January l. 1910. c. W. Hull has a
lease on his rooms until October 1, 1909
How these leases will be harmonized and
what the Corn Exchange state bank will
do for a banking home in the meantime
is question yet 20 be solved.
c. c. George, now all active factor in
the upbuilding OF the City Savings bank
is destined to become an otficer whose
time will be required largely in the in
terests of the bank.
This will not. however. detract from the
importance of George g. Co in real estate
circles A new location, not as yet Sc
lected will be secured by the company
giving more room. AT present, George &
Co. have a lease on the rooms, but c.
w. Hull has secured a lease for future
use, while the Corn Exchange State bank
has a ten-year lease on the present rooms
In the Barker bluck used by Mr.. Hull.
Remodeling will be necessary to make the
Hull rooms suitable for such a bank as
the Corn Exchange purposes to be. The
stock OF this institution is now over sub
scribed. The original plan was to organize
with s25OOO as a capital stock. The sub
scriptlons above this amount will be held
until the development of the plans of tho
bank determines on their disposal. a large
capitalization is hinted at.
Though stockholders have not voted anc
no meeting has been held. the stock hold
