THE OOD-PGllARD INCIDENT

Mr.. John Garland Pollard closed
his campaign in Richmond on Aug
ust 4th, with speech in which he
charged that Congressman Flood.
of this Distsict, had gone from
Washington to Richmond on that
day, gotten an automobile and had
gone from barroom to barroom to
whip the whiskey interests in line
for Attorney General Williams.
Mr.. Flood, it seems, was passing
through Richmond on his way t.
his home at Appomattox, ana the
next morning, as soon as he was
communicated with. sent kilograms
to the afternoon papers making {
direct and emphatic denial OF Mr.
polIard's charges; in fact, Mr., Flood
denounced the charge as "a lie out
oi the whole cloth" The Char
lottesvilIe Progress had this to say
about it:
"Mr. Floods reply to the charge
was very direct and emphatic II
rather unparliamentary. He salG
it was false, and that Mr.. Pollard
uttered it knowing it to be false.
The denial was in language much
more forcible than We have employ
ed. There was q time in Virgin.
when the words used BY Mr.. FLOOD
would have led to q personal En-
counter anil doubtless some Of tht
old timers expected q similar out,
come in this instance. Mr.. Pollard
however, has seen fl 70 dismiss tbs
whole affair with the retort that he
didn't care what Nj. Flood callet:
him so long as he did not call him
his friend.
"As a friend and supporter of Mr..
Pollard in his recent campaign W.
do not consider the above answe
sufficient, any more than personal
alteration or the killing of one by
the other, would have settled the
merits OF the controversy.
at seems to US that Mr.. Pollard
is face to face with the real test Of
personal courage. He should eth,
err prove his charge, or, if upon Z
full investigation, he finds that hi
has done Mr.. Flood an injustice, he
should make a manly apology ano
1etraction.
We thoroughly agree with The
Progress. 1t is not very pleas
ing idea to the people of Virginia
to have as their Attorney General
man who would make a FALSE
charge as this against another pub
lie man and persist in the charge.

HARRY K. THAW ESCAPES

MatteaWan, N. Y; Aug. H.
Harry X .-Thaw, the slayer OF Stan
ford White, escaped from the hos
pital for the criminalinsane here at
7:45 O'Clock this morning. A dart
for liberty through an o EN- gate, "a
dash into the open door of u pow
eriul automobile that stood CULVER
ing outside and flight like a
rocket for the Connecticut State
line; 30 miles away, accomplished
his escape.
Tonight he was still at large and
the hospital authorities felt certain
he was outside the State. Once
beyond its boundries, Thaw is free.
Only months, perhaps years, of lit
igation can bring him back to Mat
teawan, and then only in one event
that he adjudged insane in the
State to which he has fled.
Five confederates manned the
car in which Thaw escaped and a
big black Limousine which traileI it
past the asylum gate. The police
have their descriptions and the
rames under which they registered
at local hotel Friday night and
are seeking them.

day and is heing held for investlga-
ticn.

rhaw; but refuses to make any 9th
er ctatement regarding himself.
The chief of police after question
ing him at length, said: 1.-The pris-
oner is Harry Thaw"
According to the police the ar
rested man is thirty five years old,
with brown hair, aud wears Il blue
suit and white derby hat.
Thaw is forty-two years old, his
hair is farming cray, and he did

CONSERVATIONISTS' AIMS
DEFENDED BY PINCHOT
Former u. S. Official Makes Outline
of Propaganda Of National
Association.

A general outline of the propaganda
OF the National Conservation Association.
in refutation of the recent charge that
the conservationists lack a constructive
program" was made yesterday by Clifford
Pinchot. Mr.. Pinchot said that the asso-
ciation intended to keep on agitating time
limit water right franchises until results
are obtained.
The National Conservation Associa-
tioD will continue to strive for legisla-
ton opening the public waterpowers to
prompt and beneficial use," said Mr..
Pinchot. That has been one of its chief
aims ever since II was organized. and
it will not give up the fight until it gets
results. The association holds that wa
terpower franchises should be granted
for fifty years, irrevocable for the first
thirty years so as to provide reasonable
security and attractiveness OF investment
but revocable thereafter at the will Of
the government
The association viii continue its work
for the opening Of the coal fields of
Alaska. both to domestic use and to
development, on a larger scale, in the
interest of citizens of Alaska and OF the
nation. Nor will it relax its efforts to-
ward legislation to prevent the pollution
of interstate and navigable streams.
Regulation of the use of the grazing
lands of the public domain is an essen

PREDICTS TWO CANALS
ACROSS THE ISTHMUS
Rear Admiral Peary, in Address to
Ohio Society, Also Tells
of Arctic Trips.

This country will see two canals,
believe, across the isthmus,' said Rear
Admiral Robert f. Perry, in his address
before the Ohio Society Of the District
of Columbia, at its meeting at Rauschers
last night.
Admiral Peary devoted the last part
OF his address to explaining the condi-
tions that he encountered and overcame
in his conquest of the north pole. HIS
success in the artic. he said, could be
attributed to the fact that his party
adopted the kind of clothing used by the
EsJuimos, made from the skins of the
animals that live in these regions. This
fern of clothing, he said, haG been de-
veloped through generations of struggle
with the cold
The cold Of the arctic regions which is
about 107 degrees below freezing point,
Admiral Peary declared, is no more disa-
creeable provided a man is properly
clothed and fed, than that of New York
or Boston Work in the arctic is by no
means finished, he asserted, for there are
regions surrounding the poles about
which nothing is known and where dis
coveries of startling results can be made.
In speaking of these unknown regions,
Admiral Peary advocated the establish
Inent of a station at the South Pole for
meteorological observations.
