Miss Bernice Hunt almost choked to
death here last night, but dislodged
from her throat button which had
been there six months. She had lost
her voice and was suffering from Sc

white one, having worked down al
most to her throat. It was dislodged
and elected from her mouth when she
was struck a sharp blow on her back.
She had been subject to choking fits
at night for several weeks. Her voice
is now returned and her throat causes
no pain. The case has greatly puzzled

PRIVATE DETECTIVE REPEATS
STORY TOLD BY PRISONER
CONCERNING WHITES RELA-
TloNs WITH ACTRESS.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 6.-The
Justice Mills hearing on Harry K.
Thaw's petition for release from Mat
teawan hospital. opened with Roger
O'Mara, former chief of detectives at
Pittsburg, and for several years en-
ployed by Thaw as a private detective,
as the first witness.
O'Mara was commissioned by Thaw
to investigate his charges against
Stanford White. The witness related
his experience in 1901 with a girl,
said to be now prominent actress,
whose story Thaw told yesterday.
O'Mara said he saw both this girl and
her mother and what they told him
agreed with Thaw's assertions.

asked jerome.

reason why she should tell me this
story il 1t were not true"
O'Mara said the girl told him White

sition at any theater.
Whites Name Stained.
More of those stories which stain
the memory of the eminent architect,
Stanford White, stories that paralleIed
the tale of the Madison Square tower
room as told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
were related before the .Thaw sanity
| hearing before Justice Mills yester-

| behalf and then by Thaw himself, who
| took the stand hoping to show that
things he knew about White were not
"delusions' as the state contended,
and that this phase Of the states at.
tack on his sanity is unfounded.
| Charles Morschauser, Thaw's at
| torney, started on the day by calling
to the stand David Carvalho, the New
York handwriting expert. Mr.
Carvalho told Of episodes connecting
Stanford White with two young WON
en- whom, it is alleged, he tried tc
ruin.
Both these women allowed the use
4 of their names. One was Miss Mae
Mckenzie, an actress, who appeared

Evelyn Thaw; the others name was

CHAMP CLARK s
STATEMENT ON
TARIFF T BILL
LEADER OF MINORITY SAYS
DEMOCRATS ARE ORGANIZED,
REPUBLICANS UNoRaANlZED;
SAYS REVISION is UPWARD.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 6.--In reply
to what he terms the misrepresenta-
tions of Democrats in the papers,
Champ Clark, leader of the minority
in the house, today gave out state
ment regarding the course of the
Democratic members Of the house in
connection with the consideration OF
the Payne tariff bill. He says the
fight more thoroughly united on that
question than they have been in gen
erations. The Republicans came out
Of it worse shattered than ever be-
FORE
Some papers, he said, "either
through carelessness or malice, have
gone so far as to say that had the
Democrats not been absent in large
numbers impaired, we would have de-
feated the conferees report on the
tariff bill. There Is not a syllable of
truth in it and to so charge is either
unadulterated malice or criminal neg
ligence."
Clark details at length the course of
the Democrats in the matter of the
amendments and votes throughout the
session to substantiate his assertions
In conclusion Clark says:
MANY newspapers are trying to
make 1t appear that the Payne-AI
drich-Smoot bill is revision downward
That is absolutely untrue. The aver
age rates Of the bill are about per
cent higher than the average rates OF
the Dingley bill When the maximum
goes into effect March 81, 1910, the
average rate will be about 27 per cent
higher than the average of the Din
gley bill"
