Has Roomy Apartment.

The hospital cell in which Thaw is con-
fined is a roomy apartment within the
jail building. It is carefully protected
by barred windows and front doors and
is thirty feet from the ground. Two
guards remained with him all night.
Thaw had only a few cents in his
pocket when arrested yesterday. and was
without funds when he wanted to pur-
chase fresh linen this morning. He was
finicky about his personal appearance,
and after a barber had shaved off four
days growth of beard he said he would
like to have new necktie. He was
given money to supply his needs, and
after brushing the dust of at least four
states and of Canada from his clothes he
said he was ready to appear in court at
any time.

TAKES OFF THE LIMIT
ON POSTAL DEPOSITS
House Passes Bill TO Increase Scope
of Government Savings
Bank.

The bill to remove the limitation
on the amount of money that may be
accepted from depositors in the pos
tai savings bank was passed yester-
day by the House. The bill allows
unlimited deposits, but mentions
$1,000 as the gross amount on which
interest may be paid The present
law fixes 800 as the limit to be de-
posted in any calendar month. and
no account may exceed $500.
In discussing the bill Representa-
tive Madden of Chicago, Republi-
can, congratulated the Postmaster
General and the post Office commit
tee on the bill. saying that it is an
insurance against financial disturb
ance. -.
For example," he said, sin the
case of the United States Trust Com
pany, few days ago, when we had a
run, great many of the people who
drew their money from the United
States Trust Company offered to de-
post it with the post Office authori-
ties right here in Washington. What
would have become of that If 1t had
been deposited with the post office
authorities? 1t would have gone
back into the commercial life of the
nation by being redeposited in the
banks. SO as matter of fact, If
people withdraw their money from
the banks and place it with the gov
eminent, the government can again
redeposit that money with the banks
and thus establish the condition that
ought to have prevailed before the
want of confidence arose that induc-
4 ed the people to draw their money
/ from the banks. This bill will, with
out doubt, not only make for the
certainty Of the operation of this
postal savings bank institution along
lines that will not only prevent loss,
but will just as certainly show in the
next report of the Postmaster Gener.
