His Evidence Might Not

But The Court Of Inquiry Pro-
poses to Hear His Story
As to knowledge as 10 the Alleged
Bribery Offers for Release.

Albany. N V. Feb. 26.-The question
of Harry X. Thaw's competency as a
witness in the examinations which
Gov. Suffers committee of inquiry is
making into charges against William +.
Clark, its former secretary, has been
raised. Clark is accused of having
used the Governors name without au-
thority in attempting to bring about
Thaw's release and in turn has ac-
eused Col. Joseph j. Scott, superintend-
ent of state prisons and his immediate
underlings" of having Joined CON
spiracies to involve the Governor of
the state" incidentally, DIR. John w.
Russell, superintendent of Matteawan
State hospital, where Thaw is confined,
has charged John Anhut, a New York
lawyer, with having offered him a $20,
600 bride to aid in releasing Thaw. An
hut is expected to testify, Wednesday.
John H. Delaney. member of the
court of in quiry. said, Tuesday night,
that although Thaws testimony prob
ably would not hold in court of
record, the committee was going to
examine him.
Colonel, Scott. Tuesday made for
NAL demand upon the committee that
they thoroughly investigate the
charges that have been made against
his department..
Governor SulZer declines to comment
on the matter until the committee has
completed its inv estigation. Since as
Stunning Office the Governor has received
two letters soliciting his aid in obtain
ing Thaws release One was from Rev.
David james Burrell of New York and
the other letter from A. r. Won Mersi
wosky of Greenburg. Pa.
Owne L. Potter assistant legal adj
wiser TO the Governor, answered both
letters. saying the Governor had no
jurisdiction over Thaw and that his
release could be obtained only through
proper court proceedings.
DIR. Russell was quoted, Tuesday night,
as declaring that he had decIued TO quit
the SUPPLEMENTARY of Matteawan as
soon as Gov. Suffers inquiry is concluded.
He had rather do this, he said. than con-
tinue 10 combat with what he called the
Thaw influence in the asylum.
Nothing will make me stay here after
the scandal has been aired and the re-
sponsibility placed where it belongs" said
Dr. Russell in his quoted statement. For
my successors sake hope Thaw will
like him"

Why III Heavens name shouldn't wo-

Outlook at Wash

Washington, Feb 26.-The adminisua-
ton is taking a much more hopeful view
Of the outlook in Mexico This was re-
Elected in the cabinet meeting, Tuesday,
when all of the recent dispatches from
Ambassador Wilson and American con-
suls in various parts of Mexico Were
read and discussed. The conclusion was
reached that nothing remains to be done
at this time to safeguard American IN
terests in Mexico in view of the excellent
disposition professed towards Americans
by the Huerta government.
The only threat of serious trouble came
from the consul at chldad, Porfirio l)laz
who reported that Col. Jesus Carrahza'
brother OF the governor of Codhuila, had
arrived in that town, Tuesday, with an
armed band of 200 men with the inten-
ton of establishing headquarters in the
city of Moncoliva for the purpose of
maintaining order 1t is strongly suspect
ed, however, that the apparently beiiicose
attitude of some of the Madero govern
ors and other officials, as well as that
of a number of rebel leaders, had been
assumed in the hope of thereby inducing
the new government to provide them with
remunerative offices.
The attitude of the revolutionists in the
Durango district toward the Huefta regi-
me remains problematical.
The consul at Durango further reports
that 200 volunteers have deserted from
the Torreon garrison. presumably TO hght
against the new government. He says
bridges on the Mexican Railway have
been burned north and south of rorreot
