THAW AIDS
HUSBAND IN COURT
Wife of Stanford Whites Slayer
Refuses to Testify of Threats
Against Her Life

WHITE PLAINS. n. Y, July 13.-
Evelyn Nesbft Thaw, as pretty as ever,
petulant and dressed in the familiar
blue which she affected so much during
the trial of her husband Harry K.
Thaw, for the murder of Stanford
White, was on the stand for more than
an hour before Justice Mills in the su-
preme court here today, subpenaed by
the state in its fight to keep Thaw in
the asylum for the criminal insane at
Matteawan.
But for the absence of the dainty
eton collar which Mrs. Thaw wore dur
ing both of the murder trials, she ap-
peared much the same as she did when
Jerome was trying to send Harry Thaw
to the electric chair. Her entrance
into the courtroom created commo-
ton in the crowd which filled every
seat and all the aisles.
THAw|wATCHEs HIS WIFE
Thaw watched his wife intently while
she was on the witness stand, but did
not appear TO be perturbed by her
presence. Mrs. Thaw wore a large hat
with gray plumes and appeared more
mature but seemed demure, and
schoolgirI expression accentuated her
beauty as it did when she wore her
Eton collar and testified at her nus
bands trials in New York.
Though called by the state in an en-
deavor to prove Harry Thaw irrational
what Roger Clarke, the deputy attor-
ney general, drew from her today
created a favorable impression for her
husband.
prrrrSUD TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
Upon the outcome of Evelyn Thaws
testimony the states fight largely rests.
Clarke tried to get her to admit that
Thaw had threatened her life. But
turning appealingly 90 the court she
repeatedly refused to answer his ques-
tions. and after a clash between coun-
sci. Justice Mills ruled that he would
| hold the conversation in which the
threat was supposed to have been made
a confidential one between husband
and wife, and therefore, privileged un-
til the state presented proof to show
that Daniel O'ReHlY the New York
lawyer. who was present at the time,
was not then acting as COUNSEL for
both Mr.. and Mrs. Thaw. This Clarke
promised to do.
APPEALS TO COURT WITH TEARS
Mrs. Thaw showed little concern, but
tears came to. her eyes once when JUS
tfce Mills ruled against her, and she
turned to him and said:
at guess / will have to obey, for j
can not afford contempt proceedings or
go to Jail My husband is not paying
me anything now and haven't enough
money fo hire counsel"

DISCRIMINATION IS
NOT ALWAYS BARRED
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Says Railroads Can Limit
Amount of Free Baggage

WASHINGTON, July 1S-An dis
elimination is not forbidden by the
act to regulate commerce, but only
such discrimination as is undue. This
in effect was a decision of the inter
state commerce commission announced
today in the case of the Herbeck-
Demer company against the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad and the Penn
sylvania railroad.
The complainant is travelling sales
men who carry about 1880 pounds of
baggage, on all over $50 pounds of
which they have to pay excess fare.
It was urged that when a railroad
charged the same amount for carrying
a passenger without baggage as it
charged a passenger with $50 pounds
of baggage it was discriminating
against the former in violation of law
The commission held that the dis
elimination cited was not unlawful and
that the railroads had a right to stipu-
late the amount of baggage to be car
ried.

SHAH'S THRONE
TOTTERING AND
FALL Imminent
Nationalist Forces Are Now in
Possession of Nearly All
of Teheran City
COssacks Alone Offer ANY Sort
of Organized Resistance
to the Invaders

TEHERAN, Persia, July 1S.-Recent
events in Turkey are being repeated
in Persia The constitutionalist forces
are now in possession of the greater
pars of Teheran, which they entered
this morning without encountering any
organized resistance.
EFFECTED EASY CAPTURE
While Sardarasad and Sipahadar. the
leaders in the movement, concentrated
the attention of the royalists by dem
onstrations to the west. strong body
of nationalists and Bakhtiaris made
their way unnoticed around to the
north. from which point the capture of
the capital was not difficult. The roy
alists are badly situated to make fur
ther resistance and the Cossacks, un-
der command of Russian officers. re-
main outside the city, entirely cut off
from their comrades.
The strictest discipline is being
maintained by the nationalists. The
nationalists' leader, in a note to the
Russian and British legations, guaran-
tees SeCuIlly VI lttC anu PAOR~ANJ -
foreigners, adding that nothing is de-
manded from the shah but real con-
stitution. Sipahadar already has sum-
moned the members of the Mejliss to
witness the opening of parliament.
LOST ONLY ONE MAN
The invaders lost only one man while
making their entry into the city. The
loss to the royalists is unknown. but
can not be heavy, as the Cossacks were
the only defenders to offer resistance.
They are keeping up a desultory hre
tonight and occasionally are making
use of their armory. There is much
i'll feeling against the Russians and the
nationalists are endeavoring to prevent
any incident that might Justify Rus
sian force entering the city.
WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT
The occupation of the Persian capital
by the nationalists today is a direct
result of the insistence of the Persian
people that the shah govern the coun-
try under the constitution of January l..
1907.
The shah signed this constitution
when he ascended thesthrone. but from
the first he showed an inclination to
disregard it and finally withdrew it.
Fighting the COssacks
LONDON. July 1s.-A dispatch from
| Teheran says that the nationaIists at
! tackled the Cossacks in the barracks and
Artillery square for two hours this
evening without succeeding in captur-
ing the positions. The combat was
| iercely waged- the Cossacks using
shrapnel body of the shah's troops,
the dispatch says. is coming from Shah
abad by forced marches to the assist
ance of the royalists.
There is little sympathy in England
for the shah, who, according to reports
from Persia, stands good chance of
losing his throne. Great Britain IN
conjunction with Russia, consistently
urged him to re-estabIish the constitu-
tion the failure to do which has placed
him in his present uncomfortable po-
sition.
Great BTitain's further action will be
confined strictly to safeguarding Brit
ish interests. 1t is believed that Russia
will act similarly.

two attempts to maneuver his aero
