THE DEFEAT WAS COMPLETE
There Is No Hope Held Out in Justice Mills Opinion That Slayer of Stanford
 White Will Ever Again Enjoy Liberty.

White Plains, Aug. 12.-Harry K Thaw's latest attempt to gain his lib- erty was defeated today when Justice Isaac N. Mills dismissed the writ of habeas corpus and declared the release of the petitioner would be dangerous to public peace and safety" An order sending Thaw back to Matteawan will be signed tomorrow
 There is no crumb of comfort for Thaw in the 1000 word opinion handed down by Justice Mills All the con tentions of his old adversary District Attorney Jerome are supported and it is declared that Thaw is still insane. still suffering from persistent delu- sions and still as much a paranoiac as on the day he shot Stanford White
 Thaw, waiting in the White Plains jail, received the news with outward calmness. The members of his family and his attorney seemed stunned by the thoroughness of this defeat Thaw declined to give out any statement. contenting himself with the assertion that he was not disheartened and would continue his fight for liberty.
 My next efforts. he said, will be centered on the court of appeals through which 1 expect to secure a hearing before d jury in my effort to have my commitment to Matteawan set aside"
 Justice Mills, in his opinion today reached three formal conclusions: Thaw was insane when he killed White. He has not yet recovered. Public peace and safety would be endangered by setting him at large He characterized Evelyn Thaw's tale of the Madison Square tower room and similar stories about White as wild and grossly improbable, and evil dently, to my mind. grossly eXaggerat- ed"
 He asserts his belief in the testi- mony of Susan Merrill regarding Thaw's perverted practices and points out the contrast between Thaw's chiv- alrous attitude as a protector of young American WomanhOod and his private life.

THE DOCK STRIKE INCIDENT

Fort Williams, Aug. 12.-A battle Canadian Pacific railway special po- lice and strikers on the docks. Eight men were wounded, some of them seriously. The special police went to the Canadian Pacific railway board ing house for dinner and the strik- CTS refused to allow them to return to their posts. One of the constables drew a revolver and guns appeared instantly. The constable fired and q man dropped. In a second the fight was on.
 Among the men wounded are: Ser geant Taylor of the city police, seri ously; C. NJ Dickinson, a Times Journal reporter, seriously; John Ball, chief of the Canadian Pacific police, probably fatally. It is reported that two or three of the strikers have been killed. The Fort Williams police re- fused to go near the strike district until the militia is ready to accom- pany them.
 Tonight Fort William for the first time in it's history is under martial law. Twenty-four men were injured three fatally. including Chief Ball of the railway company's local force and two strikers. A regiment of militia was called out after Mayor Pelletier had read the riot act.
 The strikers had twenty-five rail- way constables penncd up in the Ca nadian Pacific railroad bunk house. They fired through the windows and were preparing to storm the house when the police persuaded them to desist.
 Soldiers are guarding the district under the command of Colonel Steele, head of the Canadian permanent force in western Canada. The police are unable to cope with the situation or to control eithe rthe Canadian Pa cific constables or the strikers.
 The trouble was caused by the ar rival of thirty constablcs from Winni- peg The sight of the constables seemed to rouse the strikers to d frenzy. The Canadian Pacific rail- way officials agreed to grant the de- mands of the men and to put them to work under the new scale.
