POLICE LAY BARE
THE THAW PLOT
Owner of Big Touring Car Says
Former ASSemblyman But
Ter Hired 1t.

New York. Aug. 2o-EXcept for tn,
identity of the chief conspirator, practical
ly all of the details of the plot by which
Harry Kendall Thaw ESCAPED from tn,
Mattcawan State hospital for the crimila
Insane are known to the authorities. Evil
denCe obtained Yesterday established e
the satisfaction of the police that the ar
rest of cX-Assemblyman Richard J
Butler and William Thompson, better
known to his associates as "Educrt ed
Roger" Thompson, would be followed by
confessions that would clear the case OF
all its mystery
Butler hired the big touring car in
which Thaw made his sensational night
out Of this state and northward through
Connecticut Massachusetts and NcA
Hampshire to the Canadian frontier The
car was found last night near Rochester,
y. H.. whore It had been abandoned. 1t
was owned by John Collins. president of
the Packard Automobile Renting com
pany OF l,49l Broadway.
Mr. Collins went TO police neadquar-
tiers yesterday and conferred with Deu-
uty Commissioner Dougherty He said
hc rented the car, II six-cylinder g
horsepower machine to Butler. who ar
day Butler paid $50 and took the car
last Friday morning, Thompson. who
was in Collins's employ and bore good
reputation. was the chauffeur The po-
lice are convinced that Butler engaged
Thomas X, Flood. chauffeur of "a;
Tenth avenue; Michael O'Kecfc. brother
in-law of Butler, and Eugene Duffy,
known as the mayor of Ninth avenue"
to aid him in his work
PLOT LAID A MONTH AGO.
Negotiations for the men to carry
out the plot were begun at least a
month ago. The original plan was to
carry Thaw from Matteawan to Port
Jorvis. and thence into Pennsylvania,
where his lawyers would make fight
against oXtradition. 1t is believe
that the plan was changed because
some one among Thaw's counsel was
not sanguine of the successful out
come of a legal contest either in Penn
sylvania or any other State in the
union.
Among chauffeurs in the Times
square district who were on call for
undertakings that must be guarded,
there was gossip a month ago about
a mysterious job which would pay big
money The amount named was be
tween $4,000 and $4,000, which woul /
be divided among the participants.
The police assume that this prize was
the price paid 10y Thaw's lieutenants
for his liberation.
The landaulet in which Thaw made
his dash down the hill road from the
state hospital and ffom which he was
transferred to the touring car, was
returned to this city yesterday. AL

There Have Been irregularities
in the Weather Bureau

Washington, April 16.-Prof. Willis
L. Moore, chief of the weather bureau
since 1895, today was summarily re-
moved from Office by President VIII
SON. His resignation recently had
been accepted to take effect July 81,
but after an investigation of his al
legged efforts to become secretary OF
agriculture in the present cabinet,
grave charges of irregularity were
referred and the president today
withdrew his acceptance of the resig-
nation and dismissed Prof. Moore. La
/ ter, he referred the subject to the de-
partment of justice for inquiry.
Secretary Houston of the agricul-
/ tural department, conferred with the
president before the removal of Mr..
Moore was announced. The secre-
tary then issued the following state
ments:-
"Immediately after the resignation
of Prof. Moore of the weather bureau.
was submitted to the president and
accepted by him, charges were filed
with the secretary of agriculture by
responsible men within the service
/
nature that the secretary Of agricul-
ture called upon the department OK
justice for an investigation.
THE investigation is underway, but
the facts so far secured and laid be-
fore the president yesterday were suf-
ficient to warrant him in deciding to
withdraw. his acceptance OF Prof.
Moores resignation and remove him
summarily which has been done t.
: day The president has also directed
= the secretary of agriculture to sus
pend Charles T. Burns, an employe OF
!, the weather bureau, pending a further
u investigation of his case and to take
!, such disciplinary measures as he may
deem necessary with such other EN-
ployes of the weather bureau as ma,
be found to have been unduly active
< in using the public service for private
and personal ends"
y Unofficially, it was said at tn
u White House that the campaign t
. make Mr.. Moore secretary of agricu
y ture had been extensive, that men
~ bers of Congress in various parts O
y the country had been canyassed an

CHILD LABOR LAW
The New Law Is Being Strictly En-
forced Here

When the new child labor law
went into effect the first of April,
there were upwards of 80 children UNI
der 16 years of az enployed IN tAo
mills in Bennington. Some Of then
had permits, while others hal co..
cealed their age With the help o. their
parents.
Supt. Varney and Truant Once
have been pacing a large share OF
their time the past ten Jays in en-
forcLg the new i@s. u every case
in this town the mill owners and mill
superintendents have co-operated
heartily with the school authorities
in living up TO the law, and the only
serious trouble has been with a few
parents. who have misrepresented the
age of their children.
All lover the country the child labor
laws are being enacted and the Yer
mont law is no more drastic thar
those of other states. The school au
thorities and the mill owners have nc
option in the matter and become per
sonnally liable if they do not live VI
to the law, and those in Bennington
at least, are doing their best to SCI
that the law is obeyed.

THE PoPes CONDITION
Practically Stationary and No Change
For the Worse

Rome, April 1.-THE bulletins is
sued by the physicians at Rome yes
terday indicated that the condition OF
the pope is practically stationary.
The evening bulletin was of more
optimistic tone, is il indicated that
the temperature was normal and that
here had been no recurrence of the
usual night fever. The bulletin said:
His holiness passed a quiet day with
out fever This evening his temper
allure was 9Sik. The catarrhal and
bronchial affection is in the same
condition as this morning II was
signed by Ettore Marchiafava and
Andrea Amici. The fact. however,
| that the bronchial affection is not
tending to resolution detracts some
what from the hopeful character OF
the report, as the occasional paroxy-
SINS of coughing is taxing the
strength of the patient. who already
has been under a great strain. The
| condition OF albuminuria has reap
peared and to relieve the kidneys hot
baths have been ordered.
