| MAY POSTPONE THAW CASE
State Needs Time to Go Over the
Voluminous Records.

When Harry Thaw's case comes into the
courts again tomorrow II Is not probable
that Thaw will have more than a few hours
out Of Mattcawan. II any time at all The
hearing on the application for a writ of
habcas corpus has been set before Justice
Keogh. IN New Rochelle. tomorrow morn
ing II is believed. however, that the state
viii ask for an adjournment to give time
10 prepare It's case.
There are twelve volumes OF testimony in
the two trials OF Thaw to be gone over
and IN addition 10 these there is volume
of testimony in the hearing before Justice
MorschaUser, In Poughkeepsie. The testi-
mony In the hearing before Justice Mills, In
White Plains. has only been transcribed in
part. as no appeal was taken. There Is
enough OF this testimony TO make two vol
umes more.
The stcnographer who took the minutes
in the hearing before Justice Mills is sick
In the Presbyterian Hospital. and il is not
certain how long it Will be before he IS
able to be at work again. This makes 4
more uncertain how long II Will be before
the state * ready TO 30 on. There has
been no move az yet by the state to employ
ox-Dlstrict Attorney Jerome. and without
him there Is no one 10 handle the case for
the state without long and tedious study

BONAPARTE ADMITS DELAY
But Says Smiths Inquiry Halted
Harvester Action.

Baltimore. April 25.-Respecting President
Roosevelts letter TO Attorney General
Bonaparte directing the latter TO withhold
tho antitrust suit against the International
Harvester Company contained in the corre-
spondence sent TO the Senate yesterday by
the Department OF Justice. Mr.. Bonaparte
said the action was withheld pending the
result OF an investigation Of the Harvester
company by the Bureau OF Corporations
being made at the instance of the Senate.
Ex-Attorney General Bonaparte said:
The letter in question was written while
7 was absent from Washington and while
an Investigation by the Department Of jus
tice was IN progress in regard to the AFFAIRS
Of the Harvester trust. but before any re-
port had been made 10 the department OF
any decision reached by it.
Several months later: after the depart
ment had received a full report from It's
representative. Mr.. Townsend, an
nounced to the President that | was ready
10 institute suit for the dissolution OF the
Harvester trust IT was then ascertained
that the Bureau OF Corporations had not
vet completed it's investigation OF the same
Harvester trust (Which IL was conducting
bv direction of a resolution OF the Senate),
and the matter being submitted to the Cab
met. II was decided that the suit Should
await the conclusion Of Herbert Knox
Smiths inquiry.
II was supposed then that this would
cause but a short delay. The inquiry last
ed. however. not only during the remain
ing year Of Mr.. Roosevelt's administra-
ton but during some three years OF Mr..
Taft's and, so far as I know. is not fin
ished yet.
The Presidents letter OF August. 1907. did
not I'm any wise delay or affect the action
Of the Department OF Justice. and when
! told him ] thought the suit should be
undertaken. which was probably FIVE or
six months later. he Immediately ac-
Guiesced The only impeachment was the
discovery that Mr.. Smiths inquiry was still
unfinished and his (Mr. Smiths) statement
that he could not complete 1t II the suit
should be brought.

Mr.. Mann denounced the Pujo resolution
IN most bitter terms. II seeks TO delegate
powers the House does not possess. he de-
clared, and is an unnecessary substitute ior
the resolution the House passed on Febru-

The pending resolution. he asserted, While

and dastardly attempt to wiring campaign
contributions from the corporations VINO
would be told ITO put up the stun or stand

Other Republican speakers. including
Representatives Norris and Campbell
charged the Democrats with having pur-
~ sely removed the teeth from the resolu-
ton adopted two months ago in order 10
prevent "A speedy and real investigation OF
the money trust"
Representative Mann, charging that Sam
uel Intermyer, OF New York, engaged as
counsel by the Pujo committee, lis propos-
ing to milk the money power and the cor
porations he is seeking TO investigate,
said:
This is "A come and-see-me' resolution.
There's a political campaign ahead ana
there Is need for money.
The real object OF the Democratic inves-
tigation. declared Mr. Mann, is. first to col
lect campaign funds. and, second. to innu-
ence action in a political campaign.
No greater attempt 10 prostitute the pow
ers OF Congress, Indignantly continued the
minority leader, ever had been made. Con-
tinuing, Mr. Mann said:
No such gross abuse was ever perpetrateo
before as this action OF our Democratic ma

HUNDREDS STARVING IN FEE
Men Huddled Into Cages Next to
Wild Beasts.

Fee. Morocco. April % DelayedD.-The
Jewish quarter OF Fee presents lament
able spectacle as a result of the recent
pillaging and looting by the revolving popu-
lace and mutinous Moorish soldiers. On
the occasion Of the last ravaging Of the
quarter, however, the scenes enacted did
not approach in horror and devastation
those which had occurred a few days
earlier.
OF the twelve thousand Jewish residents
OF the capital no fewer than seven thou
sand have been rendered homeless by fire,
and these have now taken refuge, naked
and hungry, in the gardens Of the Sultan
palace. A terrifying scene Is presented
there, for hundreds OF cmaciated human
beings are huddled together in empty
cages belonging 10 the Sutan's menageTie'
and these are surrounded by cages con-
tanning wild beasts, which. maddened by
the sight Of human flesh fiji the gardens
with their roars.
The synagogues were wrecked and the
sacred books and parchments torn and
burned. Objects too heavy to be carried
hacked TO pieces and then piled together in
the streets and set on fire.
At the French, British and other con-
sulates bread is being supplied TO the
starving refugees, while the consuls are
endeavoring to find some kind Of shelter
for the homeless.
The bodies Of the French officers num-
her Of whom were killed in the recent fight
ing. have not yet all been found, but
those recovered show that the soldiers
suffered terrible tortures. one Of the as
sassins Of Colonel LGry confessed that the
Moorish women We're the ringleaders In his
murder. They tied his arms and feet and
then slowly stabbed him TO death with
poinards.
Many arrests Of Moorish soldiers and citi-
Gems Of Fee have been effected. The
prisoners viii all be tried by court martial
and subjected TO military law.
