THAW'S COUNSEL
 READY TO REBUT MorSchauSer Has Mass of Evidence, Including Murder Trial Records Settled Down to Hard Day $ Work. With Client. at :. White Plains Jail
 Today.
Harry Still Confident Jus tice Mill Will Set Him
 Free
Special from United Press.)

|
 White Plains. N. Y, July 31.-Coun- sel for Harry K. Thaw today began the preparation of rebuttal testimony to be introduced when the habeas cor pus proceedings looking to his release from Matteawan are resumed before Justice Mills. Monday. Charles Mors- chauser, Thaw's attorney. with a mass of evidence, including the records of the two Thaw murder trials, appeared at the White Plains jail early today and the two settled down to a day of hard work in Thaw's cell.
 Thaw, while admitting that the ad- vent of his old antagonist, William Travers Jerome, into the case has made his position more difficult, says today that he is still confident that Justice Mills will set him free.
 "I think Justice Mills will not con- slider much of the testimony which the other side has introduced said Tha-w. when we show that it is utterly false. The action of Justice Mills and the questions he asked yesterday make me believe that he is absolutely fair. and I am sure that I have shown during condition may have been when I killed White, that I am absolutely sane.'
 Jerome is well pleased by the turn things have taken. He expressed him self as being particularly satisfied with the short examination to which Thaw was subjected to by Judge Mills yesterday It was plain that Thaw was confused under the questioning of the Justice who went straight to the heart of the case. Jerome plans to call a number of alienistS and put to them an extensive hypothetical ques- ton, based upon the facts brought out during the two murder trials. and new ones shown during this proceeding.

Especial from United Press.

It is be- lieved that full reports will show that several hundred persons have been in jured.

Though no accurate es- timate is obtainable a number of fires Chalpincingo and other places. Fifty persons are reported to have been killed in that city alone by the earth quake and a number are said to have been killed in subsequent fires. It is reported that many of the injured, un- able to move themselves from the de- bris. were burned to death
 Meagre reports from the interior towns say there is heavy property loss and indicate that many persons were crushed to death beneath fall ing walls. One thousand square miles comprise the territory in the quake zoen which extends across the entire southern portion of Oxaoca the southeast to Acapulco on the Pacific ocean. At Acapulco the damage was great. The better classes have built rear of the town but the poorer classes were herded together in huts along the shore. The great tidal wave that followed the earthquake totally wrecked all the portion of the city situated on the high cliffs. It is said much damage was done 100 miles in land in the towns of Taluca.

PARISH PRIEST
 MURDERS MOTHER
 THEN SUICIDES
Especial from Unite

Especial from United PreSS.)
 Vienna, July 31.-Joseph Schenigl, a Parish priest at Holycs, shot his mother to death today and then kill ed himself. The tra gedy grew out of the fact that the priests vows, which his mother had induced him to make, prevented him from marrying one of the girls of the parish with whom he had fallen in love. Schenigl was ordained a priest following the wishes of his parents. When he fell in love he desired to renounce his vows but his mother pleaded with him to re- main true to the church. She finally began berating her son and this pro- voked a quarrel that resulted in the murder and suicide.

NEW TROUBLE IN CHINA
Serious Difficulty Threatened Over
Building of New Railroad in
the Orient

VICTORIA, B. c., July 25.-The
steamship Shinano Maru, which ar
rived yesterday from Japan, brought
news of great diplomatic activity
there which The Chuwo of Tokyo
stated presaged drastic measures to
be taken against China, owing to her
reply to Japan with reference to the
construction of the Tntung-Mukden
Railroad The reply contained pro-
posals considered unreasonable, and
Viceroy Hal, the official in charge of
the matter, stated that he was leav-
ing at once for a tour of northern
Manchuria, which would have the eff
feet Of shelving the question until
too late for settlement this year,
and on its receipt Prince Ito, Pre-
mier Katsura and others were sum-
moned to Tokyo and a conference
with the elder statesmen was held.
Valentine Chirol, director of the
! foreign news of the London Times,
who returned by the Shinano Maru,
after having had an interview with
the Japanese Emperor and studying
particular affairs in Japan and China
spoke regarding the situation on ar
rival He said he considered Japan S
actions wonderfully lenient toward
China concerning the pending ques-
tons. of which, more important were
the Fakumen railroad and Chientao
questions. China had negotiated
with two British firms to build the
Fakumen railroad, to which Japan
objected as violating the Pekin pro-
tocol of 1905, under which China
agreed not to build competitive rail
roads in Manchuria. Mr.. Chirol said
| the contract was given the British
firm with the hope that thus the
support of Britain would be obtain
ed, a hope that had failed. There
was irritation over the obstinacy oil
China regarding this and other qdes-
tions when the sudden refusal of the
Chez Chinesw to permit the widen
ing of the gauge of the Antung-Muk-
den Railroad came up.

Gently. These men were getting 50

When their wants were made
known to Manager George O'Connor,
he promptly refused them and i'm
mediately telephoned to Spokane for
100 Greek iaborers who are expect
ed to arrive in the city soon
At the meeting the following re-
solutions were adopted:
I'VE the undersigned met at La
Dor Temple on the morning of July
I21, 1909, and the following resolu-
lions were passed by the Italian and
Greek laborers demanding of the
Street Car Company a raise Of
wages to $3.50 per day for
nine hours work. We as a body or
ganized ourselves and do hereby pass
the following resolution that we will
stay on strike until the company will
pay us $3.50 per day And further
more give power to our representa-
tive, C. K Macris, to wait on the
company of the Walla Walla Valley
Traction company, that our demand
is so and will not return to work un-
less the said terms are complied with
by the said company"

SALMON RIVER ROAD
Progress Being Made i'm New Rail-.
road in Idaho

The Salmon City Recorder publish
es the following, relative to the pro
gress of the construction work on the
Salmon River road:
The high water stage of the Lem
Al river is undoubtedly over for this
year, and it is stated that the rail
way contractors will have gangs Of
men scattered along the way from
here to the top of the mountain in a
short time. The energies in CON
struction work heretofore have been
confined chiefly to the other side of
the range. Most of tue line on this
side will be down the river bottom:
and the work can be done much more
conveniently md at much less eN-
pense than during the time of high
water.
County Commissioner Stone in
forms the Recorder that he was up
to the top of the range last week.
aud was surprised to find the pro
gress being made on the tunnel On
the other side of the range they
have been running a long and deep
cut, but are now ready to commence
the bore. On this side Of the range
the bore has been run a distance Of
$50 feet, From the nature Of the
ground they are going through it is
necessary to timber the work as they
| so through. In making the 700
foot bore it was thought they would
encounter granite and very difficult
ground, but it is stated that the.
ground indicates that from great CON
vulsions of nature the bottom Of the
ocean was thrown up, or else this
gap through the mountains may
have been an old river bed At
least the contractors have much
easier job of making the bore
| through the mountain than they an
ticipated.
Most of the contract work for
getting out over 200 thousand ties.
telephone poles ana other timber
supplies has been let to Dick Aware.
who is getting together a large force
of men to get out these supplies,
the saw mill OF Theo, Ketchum being
moved to Timber Creek yesterday
morning to get out these supplies.
1t is stated that there will be from
two to three hundred men engaged
in this line of work within the next
few days.
1t is stated that the grade con
tractors are getting their material
on the ground and several villages
of tents are now to be seen between
here and the tunnel This activity
will be general all along the line in
few weeks. There has been some
grading done between here and the
top of the hill, but only where the
ground could be worked under the
most favorable conditions.
The closing of the deals for the
W. S. Andrews and the John Steel
ranches indicates that something
will be doing soon in Salmon. The
railway company would have no use
for this land unless it was for yard
age, roundhouse and machine shops.
