NEW YORK Aug 1S.-A search
for Harry Thaw. killer Of Stanford
White. the husband of Evelyn Thaw.
and a convicted maniac, is on today
throughout the whole northern part of
New York and in Massachusetts and
Connecticut. Since he fled through
the open gate at Matteawan yesterday
morning and sprang into a waiting
automobile and escaped In whirl of
dust toward the Connecticut line, a
hundred reports have been received
from various quarters where Thaw
passed. Apparently the best founded
Is that Thaw, and those who aided
him, passed the night at the Hotel
Lenox in Pittsfield, Mass, and left at
daylight. He is supposed to be
speeding through the Berkshire hills
toward Boston. 1t is generally adj
mitted that If he has left the state he
cannot be extradited. Efforts doubt
less will be made should Thaw be
captured before he leaves the country
to secure his arrest and detention as
a dangerous person.

threats of exposure. Diggs will be
followed by his Wife, Mrs. Caminetti
and possibly Caminetti himself.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S-The
Diggs-Caminett case was discussed on
the floor of the senate. Tillman de-
clared the easy divorce laws enabled
Diggs and Caminetti to secure vic
time. He mentioned the case while
speaking against woman suffrage and
the present divorce laws.
"If the Diggs and Caminetti affair
occurred in the SOUTH" declared Till
man, 'the fathers of the girls would
have killed the two wife deserters
like dogs and been acquitted. 1t ap-
pears to me that the relation between
divorce and suffrage is one Of mu-
tual acceleration."

The king used often to command art
lists from the theater to perform in the
winter gardens, and / remember the
fate which befell Josephine Schefsky,
a large, tall woman, whose one wish
in life was to attract Ludwig's notice.
AS all singers sang hidden behind
screens, Josephlna's chances of meet
ing the king face to face were exceed
ingly small But what woman is ever
at a loss for an expedient? She knew
how chivalrously romantic Ludwig
could be on occasions, so she decided
she would fall into the lake and en-
treat him to rescue her

Federation of Miners in the Lead
Belt met In Flat river, and acting
under the instructions, forwarded
to the mining companies demand
for an increase of so cents per day,
and the check off system. The ex-
ecutive Committee has been in
structed to notify the companies
that upon the failure to meet the
demands by August /, providing
negotiations are not in progress,
that the committee shall immediate
ly proceed with further action as
provided by the laws of the organ
ization. 1t is understood that the
companies have, up to this time,
practically refused to grant the fat
increase to all the men working in
and around the mines and mills and
smelters of the Flat River District.
If this situation continues it is
probable that strike will ensue.

A Printers Award.

Sioux City, Aug. 1.-The award
handed down by the arbitration
committee in the matter of the Job
printers was not exceedingly salts
factory. In fact it was disappoint-
ing, as it set the scale of wages be-
low that which is generally paid at
this time. The award calls for an
increase in the job scale established
six years ago of 81 per week $40
instead of Sl8. The original de-
mand was for $24, and this scale
was signed by all but three of the
employing job printers of the city,
the latter three participating in a
lockout and strike, the difficulty
later being referred to an arbitra-
ton board. The award, as stated,
is unsatisfactory, but the typo
graphical union is very jealous of
its reputation of standing by its
agreements, and the award will un-
doubleday be accepted and carried
out.

are the same word, meaning originally

To all organized Labor, Greeting;
For eight months past the or

vicinity have been engaged in a
desperate conflict with the Erie
Manufacturers Association. At
first the members of Molders' I'm

came the lockout of the members
of the Patternmakers Association,
and finally the lockout of the mem
bers of the Machinists Union and
Metal Polishers' Unicn, the latter
action being the result of the ma
chinists and metal polishers par
ticipa. in the Fourth of July
parade of the Erie trade unionists.
In the latter case monster demon
stration was made to rebuke the
assertion that union men were
traitors because they refused to take
part in the Perry celebration ar
ranged by the Manufacturers As
sociation representatives Ell al, and
because organized labor bad been
