THREAT AGAINST POWER

FORMER SENATOR WILSON OF
WASHINGTON DEFENDS
BALLiNGER.

Spe kane, Wash, Aug. 13-John Will
son, former United States senator
from Washington, and John Farson, a
Chicago millionaire, yesterday came
to the defense of Secretary Ballinger
before the national irrigation con-
gress. Ex-Governor Pardee started
the argument over the reclamation
controversy by again accusing Senator
Ballinger of permitting the opening
for entry of valuable water power
sites.
Mr.. Farson arose and asked Mr.. Par
dee if he meant to insinuate that the
secretary was dishonest. With Par
dee's reply that he meant no such ac-
cusation, the incident was dropped.
w. w. Terrell, of Terrell, Idaho,
started an attack on the Washington
Power company. which supplies power
to Spokane. He said: after quar-
ter of century, wherein many worked
hard to make homes, the Washington
company damned up our valley, over
flowed our lands and drowned our
crops. There are men in my town
who will smash that dam with dyna-
mite and send the 40-foot wall of wa
ter down this valley, and what will
happen to Spokane will make the
YOUNGSTOWN flood look like shedding
tears, if something is not done"
Mr.. Wilson replied: "There NAV be
water power companies that disobey
the law, but I stand for Mr.. Ballinger
and shall hear no man say he is dis
honest. If necessary, I will defend
Ballinger's superior President Taft
What they have done, they have done

out of curiosity took Lieutenant Henry
Regelman and with him examined the
hut. In every corner where the men
looked they found money One trunk,
measuring three feet by two, was SO
heavy that two men could not lift it.
When it was opened it was found to
be damned full of silver and copper
coin. Further search revealed two
trunks filled with money and a wash
boiler filled with money of small de-

DELuSIONS.
MOTHER WILL CONTINUE TO
FIGHT FOR SONS RELEASE
FROM ASYLUM.

White Plains, N. Y, Aug. 13.-Harry
K. Thaw's latest attempt to gain lib
erty met complete defeat yesterday
when Justice Mills dismissed the ap-
plication for a writ of habeas corpus
and declared that 'The release of the
petitioner would be dangerous to the
public peace and safety" A seven
thousand word opinion of the court
upholds all the contentious of Thaw's
adversary, District Attorney Jerome.
1t declares that Thaw is still insane,
still suffering from persistent delu-
as when he shot White.
Thaw, in Jail in the rear of the
court house, received the news with
a forced calmness. His family and
attorney seemed stunned. Thaw SIM

ened and would continue his fight for
liberty.

OF Susan Merrill regarding Thaw's al
legged pervert practices, and points
out the contrast between Thaw's
chivalrous attitude as protector of
young womanhood and his private

Justice Mills sympathized with
Thaw's mother. This evidently prompt

Last night Thaw's mother wrote a

RIGHTS OF AGENTS
To COMMISSIONS
ATTORNEY GENERAL GILBERT
HOLDS HEARING ON
QUESTION.

A hearing was held yesterday by
Attorney General Gilbert upon ques-
tions submitted to him by Insurance
Commissioner George E. Beedle rela-
tive to the rights of insurance agents
to write policies for themselves and
receive commissions therefor while
acting either for himself or for a
, firm or corporation in which he is
interested. The hearing also extended
to the request of agents for a rehear-
ing and modification of the opinion that
agents may not divide commissions.
w. D. Van Dyke of Milwaukee pre-
scented the arguments for the agents.
to receive commissions on policies is
sued to themselves. He contended
that the commission was not a re-
bate; that commission was earned
and that there could be no moral OBJ
lection to his receiving it. He also
took the position that the law as it
now stands does not forbid the divi-
sion of commission among agents.
Others present and interested in
the hearing were F. ]. Meyer, J. B.
Leedorn, Loyal Durand and D. X.
Kourtney of Milwaukee. ]. Buchanan,
Waukesha, E. X. Ansorge, Green Bay
and C. H. Barry, Chicago
The points involved in the questions
upon which the hearing was held had
previously been passed upon, either
by the insurance department or the
attorney general, and these rulings or
opinions were adverse to the interests
of the agents, though thy follow the
rulings of departments in New York
and Massachusetts.
