TAFT PLAYS GOLF
 AND PLAYS WELL Drops Consideration of the Bulletins From Front
 and Rests

Washington, June e0-President Taft dropped consideration of bulletins from the center of political warfare late to- day to play golf with his son Robert. The Presidents drives were reported as long, his play on the green was as skillful and his smile was as cheerful as it was Thursday of the third week in June, 1908. when he sat in his office in the war department with Mrs. Taft Miss Helea nnd Charles, his younger son. and looked over the score of the delegates as they voted one after another for his nomina- ton.
 Tonight the President stayed in the White House. He took up politics again and there were several telephone con versations between the White House and Chicago. Any new moves that were planned in those conversations the White House would not make public.
 So far as the President is concerned it seemed tonight to be a waiting game. His hand will not be hid on the table until the time comes when his managers til then he will discuss politics as little as possible.
 The teyseness of tho situation in Chi cago was reflected today at the White House. although President Taft him self was apparently little disturbed
 He declined, however, to sec newspaper men, and of this announced that thero would be no statement from him. untll the situation was certified. This was taken to Indicate that new moves in the game ia which the President is the central figure. may be expected at any time.
 Members of tho cabinet who were early White House callers discussed politics with the President as long as he was willing to talk on the subject -One of them answered there would be no com promise. He contradicted the report that third man might receive Mr. Taft's support.
 White House callers said they are con- vinced the President had no thought of agreeing to a compromise.
 According to persons who saw him to- day. Mir. Taft is certain he will be nomi- mated in Chicago and believes that Col onei Roosevelt is beaten. One member qf the cabniet said here Taft had no idea of agreeing to another man and others supported ~that statement.

 Life of Thaw

White Plains, N. Y, June 20.-Surprises in the hearing of Harry K. Fhaw were sprung by the. commonwealth today when in the midst of testimony by Evelyn N. Thaw contributing to the states conten- tion that the slayer of Stanford White is sill insane, Willitm T. Jerofhe, leading attorney for the state, suddenly called te the witness stand Mrs. Susan Merrill to tell of Thaw's life when he rooHHd al various houses which sine conducted in the theatrical district of New York
 Clarence ]. Shearn, attorney for Thaw, endeavored to dlscredit the wornans testl- money by referring to the fact that sine was committed for perjury when MT. Je- rcme was district attorney of New York, The pending indictment was dismissed after she had testified for the state against Thaw at his trials. Mrs. Mer- Till made a very unwilling witness. She had been kept in hiding in an anteroom at the courthouse this forenoon, and when the commonwealth decided to produce her she screamed so loudly that those who crowded the courtroom upstairs could hear her Her hysteria caused a delay of 20 minutes before she could be escorted to the stand. still protesting that she could not testify against Thaw.
 Mrs Merrill admitted Thaw roomed at her house under aliases and had many girl callers. Witness said on three occasions Thaw whipped girls. She said sho wrote to Thaw at Matteawan last January. This letter was intro- duced in evidence She said four men had asked if she was to testify al the hearing.
 Be smart shc wrote Thaw as pre- sented in the exhibit. "A man with millions is working against you He wants to keep you up there because he is u friend of stanford White.'
 Under pressure of Thaw's attorneys witness said she thought the milton aires name wes Colonel Clay. Witness tesliiied that during Thaw's trial thous- ands of dollars had been placed In her hands by one of Thaw's counsel 10 pay more than 200 girls so they would not testify against him. She said sha paid one girl $7ooo. and .another s50oo
 It is probable Evelyn Thaw will be placed on the stand again tomorrow

Writ Of Habeas Corpus
 Granted "TecR" Duncan

that Duncan's usefulness as a state wit ness was being impaired by his presence in Birmingham, as it was declared that various external influences were at work to prevent him from making further tes- timony in behalf of the state.
 James G. oakley, president of the con- convict board. then had Duncan taken to Wetumuka. Duncan's removal was the occasion for considerable comment as to his place of confinement various reporss being to the effect that lie was imprisoned in Montgomery, others that he had been taken to Gadsden, and still others that he had never been taken from Blrming- ham.
 At the tune of Duncans removal from Birmingham, reports were current in that city to the effect that the state had acted illegally in the matter. and that Duncan had been taken from the Birmingham jail without authority of law. It was also reported that Duncans attorney M w. Howard, would institute habeas corpus proceedings for the purpose of taking the prisoner back to Birmingham.
