Tham Goes BACK to ASYLUM.

Harry X. Thaw, in the eyes OF the
law, is still insane and must remain in
the asylum where he was placed on
Feb 1, 1908. after he had killed stan
ford White
Justice Martin J. KeOgh, of the New
York supreme court at White Plains,
denied Thaw's application for free
dom. The court took tie ground that
Thaw's release would be dangerous to
public sale-y.
The decision Of Justice Keogh deny
ing liberty to Thaw in his third effort
to escape from the madhouse was
brief 1t held that the applicant had
not proved his sanity. Justice Kecgh
said MY whole duty is fully perform
ed when / decide the single question
presented for decision, namely: Is
Harry X. Thaw at present sane or in
sane, and would his release be danger
GUS to the public peace and safety?'
Having listened to all the testimony
and seriously considered it, | am Of
the opinion that Harry X. Thaw is
still insane and that his discharge
would be dangerous to the public
peace and safety. The writ. therefore,
must be dismissed on the merits and

Coal Probe Is Ordered.

The house OF representatives has
adopted a resolution calling upon the
secretary OF commerce and labor u
INQUIRE into THE different elements Of
cost and profit included in the present
high price OF anthracite.
Representative Difenderfer, Demo
crat. of Pennsylvania, author of the
resolution, declared that a hard coal
trust" existed and that coal mined in
PENNSYLVANIA was sold at higher prices
in Philadelphia than in New York
He contended that while the miners
wages recently had been increased a
fraction more than ) per cent, coal
operators had arbitrarily advanced the
price to the consumer 25 cents a ton,
an advance immeasurably greater than
that represented by the miners wage
increase.

 DEATH PENALTY
Continued from page 1.)

This done, Nichols was asked if he cared to say anything. Advancing to the front rail of the gallows, Nichols asked Revs. Norris and Wilmington 10 kneel and pray with him and many Of the spectators kneeled also. The ministers offered a prayer for Nich-
 olSt soul and for those who were en- fordng the law in his execution, es- pecially the sheriff. At the cOncluSiOli of the prayer Nichols arose for fiji teen minutes repeated the prayer and the speech that he had spoken from his cell short while before. He add ed plea for higher plane of justice in this nation, for an improvement in congressional affairs, that the poor man may have justice in the court. His most impressive utterances were those concerning his children. He especially asked everyone present and called on the people of this city to be lenient with his orphaned children in referring to his death on the gal
 lows, declaring that they were not responsible for his crime. Spare their feelings in later years,' begged the doomed man, "and that is one of the most sacred requests I shall

EDDIE FOSTER A STAR N
His Work Has Been Beneficial to
 Washington.
Former Rochester Player Not Thought Good Enough for New York Gi- ants Has Proven Tower of
 Strength fer Griffith.

There are innumerable instances where good ball players have been let out by one major league club only to become stars for another after little experience in a minor league Eddie roster is one of these. The question is often asked how Foster came to get away from New York That club sent him 10 Rochester with the agreement that 1t would have the pick of the team ill the fall. Il is said that John Ganzel, the manager of that club, gave it as his opinion that Foster would not be of any help to his team, and he then consented to the sale of Foster 10 Washington, deal which he ull- doubtedly has had reason to regret Maurice Rath furnishes another in stance of where a good ball player was allowed to slip through the hands Of two major league clubs and is now making good for the White Sox with a vengeance. Philadelphia and Cleve- land both had Rath but he made good for neither because he was not played at the position where he belonged They tried him at third and he failed, while he appears to be a wonderfully clever player at second.
 What wonderful difference the ad- dltlon of one man can make in ball team is proved in the case of Foster. While of course there have been many other changes in the makeup of the Nationals since last season, none of these appears to have been as benefi- cial to the team as the acquisition of Foster. He has filled a place where the team. has always been weak and by his clever work at the bat has filled even a greater gap.
 To Foster belongs the credit for most of the victories the Nationals have earned this spring. When he has not taken a part in the offensive end Of the game he has prevented disaster by his remarkable fielding around third base. With a player less capable than he covering that position, it can be easily figured that three or four of the games which have been won would have been defeats.
 On what he has shown this spring Foster is remarkably clever ball player in every respect. One wonders that man Of his ability should have spent so long a time in the minor

Kansas City, June 7.-Durine the storm yesterday afternoon. B. G. Riea ards, oS years old, 3019 Dunham ave nue. d signal man for the Kansas City Railway Company, was struck bv lightning in his tower at Twenty loufth ana Penn streets. He is ill the general hospital being trated for serious burns
 richards was at work at the time the lightning struck the tower The Holt 1lrst struck the stove pipe that extends drought the roof of the sig nal station and it followed the pipe to ,1e interior where the lightning con- uhued it's downward course with Ri- chards in it's path.
 If Richards had not worn an arti- flclal leg l don't believe the lightning, would have struck him." pr. c. c. Remley, police ambulance surgeon. said last night. His left leg is cut oft below the knee and his artificial leg has iron braces which are held in place by a belt that encircles his body. It is my opinion that this met al attracted the electricity to the man."
 The effect of the lightning is shown Ill burns over the lower portion of Richards abdomen and legs. The lightning followed the artificial left leg from point few inches below the knee. The limb was splintered and at the toe of the shoe a big hole was torn i'll the leather, giving the appear ance of something having been thrust through from the inside. The pipe from the stove was wrecked, a win dow knocked out and the contents oi the room were scattered about.
 The police was notified of Rich ards injury and the ambulance from police headquarters was sent out Tne injured man had to be carried from lahe toweY He was gjVen' emergency treatment and then taken in the am bulance to the general hospital.
 At general hospital last night, it was said Richard is not dangerously injured, though he had not fully re- covered from the shock and his hear ing was still defective.
