CITY TELEPHONE PLANT
Commissioners Consider 1t at Meeting
Today.

a movement toward a municipal tel
ephone company was started by the
city commission this morning when
Commissioner F. NJ. Newland presented
resolution asking that the city attor-
ney be instructed to draw an ordinance
authorizing the building of such a sys-
tenn.
Newland declared his first thought
was to protect the water and fire de-
partments by a municipal service, and
argued that the system might then be
extended to take in anyone and every
one who might wish municipal tele-
phone service. The motion was laid over
until another meeting of the commits
sion to give other members of the board
an opportunity to think it over and
decide on course of action.
At the meeting S. J. Bear and Man
ager A J. Mackey, of the local tele-
phone company, were present and gave
their side of the telephone controversy.
The only thought in refusing to han
die fire calls and answer questions re-
'garding the location of fires, was to
protect the service of those who are
not interested in fires, the officials de-
clared. The flood of calls, many OF
which come from children, swamps the
office and crippleS the regular service
to such an extent that it is almost inn
possible to handle the business
Mayor Cofran argued that the COM
pony OoShe ~ give CIlS SeENlCe HAS
much as some of the subscribers de-
manded it, but the officials insisted
that they are working for the good of
the entire service. and that the better
service cannot be maintained if the tel
ephone office is turned into an infor-
nation bureau.
Il think the only solution of the
problem is in municipal telephone
plant" declared Commissioner New
land after the meeting. Sooner or la
ter 1 believe that is what it will come
to. There have been a good many
kicks since the telephone company re-
fused to answer calls regarding the To-
cation of fires, and at least a hundred
people have talked to me about it and
asked that something be DONE If we
can't get the service one way L am in
favor of getting it ourselves

Thaw family had any hint of the mat
ter until newspaper men told them.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, lamenting that
her husband is at large, pronounced
him dangerous to the community ana
applied for police protection.
She recalled his threat to kill her and
professed to believe that her presence
on the New York stage at this time had
goaded him to dash for liberty.

II stayed at the window longer than
usual she relates, because L noticed
Lowrys hill and / saw another auto
mobile right close to the yard gate. A
man was working on the machinery
and L thought it was out of order
But the chugging was SO loud that
I was afraid every moment II mlght

Then noticed two men step out They
opened both side doors of the car one
of the men waved his handkerchief to
a man who was leaning against the
open car at the bottom of the hill
"Thaw suddenly walked over to the
gate and l saw Hickey's milk wagon
come up the hill. Mr.. Hickey was
driving slowly AS he stopped in front
of the gate he climbed from his seat
'"The milk man walked over to the
bell button and the next moment L
heard the big gong ring. Then / saw
Thaw lean against the gate post as
Barnum drew back the lock and push
ed the door open.
"I cuold hear Hickey urge his
horse ahead and then saw him drive
through the gateawy.
a. There goes Harry Thaw,' Shout

the yard.
''The two men caught Thaw by both
arms and dragged him into the auto

under way The machine seemed to
jump down the hill and to the corner
where it shout out of sight"

POLICE ON THE WATCH.
Still Strong that Thaw En-
barked on Yacht.

New Haven, Aug. 1s.-Police Off
GERS all over Connecticut were on the
that Harry K. Thaw took in his sup
posed flight through the state. The
theory that the automobiles reached
ROTOR Point near South Norwalk in
the late afternoon and Thaw en-
barked upon a yacht seems to be sup
ported by facts. Shortly after 5
o'clock in the afternoon, r. H. Fitch
living in Wilton, at the junction of
the Ridgefield and Danbury roads,
was hailed by man driving a black
road to Stamford.
There are two roads east from this
point and the driver appeared anx-
ious to take the road which would
enable him to avoid Norwalk, a town
of some size with telegraph and police
facilities. This car had no passen-
gers.
Twenty minutes later a second car.
also with a New York number on it,
stopped at Mr.. Finchs and made sim
liar inquiry. The chauffeur remarked
that he had become twisted an the
roads and did not want to take the
men and a woman. The woman
showed great nervousness and the
man beside her was very impatient,
urging the chauffeur not to continue
talking. The man had a dark mus
tache and wore a blue serge suit.
This car departed and inside of 20
minutes a third car stopped at the
house. A man who sat beside the
chauffeur asked for directions to
Stamford, laying stress on his desire
to avoid Norwalk. He also made an
incidental query as to whether any
vehicles had gone that way lately.
Mr.. Fitch had not heard of Thaw's
escape but the actions of the occu-
pants of the three New York cars
interested him. All cars were of the
high powered touring type.
Later, after Mr.. Fitch had obtained
the morning papers, which had pic
lures of Harry Thaw and Mrs. Geof-
frey G. Whitney, who was formerly
Miss Alice Thaw, he said he recog-
nized one of the passengers in the
second car as Thaw. MY recollec-
ton is that the man wore black
mustache'' he said, "but 1 remember
that it contrasted strangely with his
facial appearance.
THE woman beside him somewhat
resembled the pictures of Mrs. Whit

MONEY PILED UP.
Thaw Has Considerable Amount
Coming to Him.

Pfttsburg Pa. Aug .1S.-It became
known here today that the orphans
court of Allegheney county is to de-
whether Harry Thaw is to receive the
income from his fathers estate which
since 1908 has been accumulated IN
the vaults of the Fidelity and Trust
company of Pittsburg.
Thaw recently demanded $780, 900
from the trust company and Judge }:
J. Miller of the orphans court granted
a rule on trust company to show cause
why the money should not be paid.
The trust company answered 1t was
willing to pay the money if the court
should so order and the matter vert
over until the regular term next
month.
BY the will of his father, William
Thaw, Harry ThaW was to receive w
400 a year with the provision that IL
the executors decided he showed ca
pacity of management he should be
paid one-fourth of the share OF the
estate that would otherwise have gone
to him. In 1898 the executors gave
him $144.625, the one-fourth, and the
trust company paid him the income
from the remainder until 1908, when
Thaw declared to the court through
his counsel payment was stopped. Thls
accumulated income, now amounts to
$160,7SO. and according to the trust
company's report filed in court the re-
mainder of his estate now amounts TO
$443,342.71.
