THAW ESCAPES
FROM ASYLUM
Rich New York Murderer Again
In Limelight, Following Dash
From Matteawan.

Harry K. Thaw thrust himself
suddenly before the public yester-
day morning, about a quarter OF
eight o'clock, when he successfully
escaped from Matteawan asylum.
Thaw was committed to the State
Hospital for the Criminal Insane on
February 8, 1908, following the
shooting of Stanford White, od June
IS, 1906, at Madison Square Roof
Garden New York city.
The theatrical dash which he
made was accomplished after he
cunningly passed an attendant, who
had opened the gate to the insti
tuition in order that milkman
might enter. The fugitive leaped
into a six-cylinder automobile, which
stood near, and disappeared in the
direction Of the Connecticut State
line. In his powerful car, Thaw
swept through the hamlet of Storm
vile, ten miles away, at the rate
of sixty miles an hour, heading for
Connecticut.
BY many it is thought that the
prisoner fled to the shore of Long
Island, and boarded a steam yacht
headed for Europe. He will be an
undesirable guest in Canada, for,
should he be found on the border
he will be held, and if he gains
entrance into Canada he will be re-
turned to the United States. Ten
thousand New York policemen are
on the trail. and have orders to
arrest the murderer on sight. ALI
day yesterday detectives Swallowed
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who fears
that her husband will kill her.
The mix-up in Albany over the
is regarded as IA
yorable to Thaw's prospects of re-
naming long out of the State, even
if he should be apprehended and
extraditlon papers issued for his
return. If Thaw is beyond the
of New York State,
only months of litigation can bring
him back. and then only in one
avent-that he be adjudged insane
in the State to which he has fled.

The Primary Election

With the expiration at midnight
tonight of the time within which
candidates for the various offices on
the Democratic ticket may file their
nomination papers. there will begin
q contest among the various aspir-
ants for the support of the voters
at the primary election to be held
on the eighth day of September.
Every Democrat has a right to be
q candidate for office, and every
Democrat has the right to vote for
such candidates as he may believe
most entitled to the different po-
sitions. and whose nomination is
most likely to help out in the carry
ing out of real Democratic princi-
pies. as they are advocated by Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Bryan, and in Strengthening the
ticket to be elected at the general
election. 81
The Democratic party is large
family, and this contest for nomi-
nations should be carried on in a
friendly and sensible manner. and
should not be permitted to develop
into a bitter and acrimonious scram-
BILE for the humiliation of any can
didate or candidates. nor for the
elevation of any one particular set
OF candidates over others. The
proper and sensible manner in
which the contest should be waged
will be to let the candidates place
their claims before the voters and
let these voters, of their own free
will. without coercion or any 9TH
o. improper methods. decide upon
which Of them they prefer.
To make a campaign of personali-
ties means the engendering of bad
feeling. which is sometimes hard to
reconcile before the election. And
II any OF the over-zealous advocates
of the candidates should forget that
the welfare of the party is at
stake. and should indulge in such
tactics. It might be well for all sides
70 remember that candidates are
only human. and all subject to hui
man frailties; there are likely to
b Just as many shortcomings on
one side az the other, and 1t only
requires q little Intelligence to dis
Germ the fact that neither all of
the good nor all of the bad is upon

The Strength Of The Ant|-MachIne
Movement

There is this difference between
the present primary election cam
paign and all others ever waged in
Maryland, that whereas in the lat
ter the trend of the times was with
the machine, now it is all against it
Up to the last few years the opin-
ion was held by a large majority of
politically wise men that the ma
chine was unbeatable in a primary
election. Now We know better.
Not alone Blair Lees magnificent
fight for the Gubernatorial nominal
ton two years ago, not alone the
strength of his present campaign for
the Senatorial nomination, which has
prevented the machine from even
attempting to oppose him, not alone
the new Primary Election Law, not
alone the memory of the election
judges convicted of fraud and sent
to prison-it is not alone these
events and incidents that give heart
to the opponents of the machine.
Greater than all OF these is the
advance of progressive and enlight-
ened sentiment throughout the coun-
try, the moral revolution which ac-
companied the election of We45EE =
Wilson to the PresidencL~
primaries, the commission plan of
government, the short ballot, the
initiative and referendum, a tariff
for revenue only, the abandonment
of dollar diplomacy-these are all
parts of it. They mean that the
boss system is doomed, that the al
hance between crooked politics and
crooked business is coming to an
end, that the people are determln-
ed to bring it to an end.
And every thoughtful man knows
it. The man who hopes to have a
future in politics knows that he
must break away from the machine.
In all parts of the country there is
rush for the progressive band
wagon. The complete downfall of
the machine may come this year
or it may come next or it may be
delayed five years, but it is bound
to come. The people who want to
be with the winners are no longer
with the bosses.-The Sun.

MISS SEAGEANT
WEEDS DR.. OLDAKER

At6:30 last evening at the home
of the brides mother, Mrs. M. E.
Seargeant, No. $40 North Third
avenue, the Rev. J. Harry Deere
repeated the simple but impress
i've marriage service which united
the lives and fortunes of Miss
Elizabeth Sergeant and DR.. En-
cry Edgar Oldaker.
Amid the rich coloring and rare
fragrance of American Beauty
roses and the graceful clinging
festoons of Englash, to the sweet
strains Of Lohengrin's wedding
march, played by Mrs. Harry
CULVER, Miss Sergeant and DR..
Oldaker were welded. The tiny
nephew of the bride, John Scar
geant, Jr., bore the ring for the
bride, fair and stately in char
ming gown of white crepe de
chine, trimmed with beautiful
Dutchess lace, bought during her
tour abroad last year.
Growing the brides dark hair
was a wreath of lilies of the val
ley, holding in place the long
folds of a tulle veil; she carried
a shower boquet of the same
dainty blossoms,
Mrs. Oldaker has spent the
greater portion of her life in
Phoenix and holds a place of
high esteem in the minds of
many friends. She completed
her education at the Throop Poly
tecnic school at Pasadena. fol-
lowed by year of travel in the
old world.
DR.. Oldaker, an Iowan by birth,
is the head of the Bureau of An
imal Industsy in Arizona.
Only relatives and near friends
of the bride and groom were
present at the ceremony and
wedding dinner which followed.
Two wedding cakes adorned the
ends of the table, one being cut
by Mrs. Oldaker and the other
by Mrs. John Sergeant, a bride
of the past summer.
At 10 p. m. the young couple
were aboard the train bound for
San Antonio, Texas, and New
Orleans, La. They will also Wis
it Chicago and stop in Iowa on
the return trip, to spend short
time with DR.. Oldaker's parents.
They will be at home to their
friends at No. 649 North Third
avenue, December 1. Gazette.

THE STEAM-ROLLER.

The steam-roller is a machine
for making roads. 1t crushes
down all the unequal stones to a
common level. 1t unifes and
makes smooth Jagged rock-person
alities. 1t is the prepared of pro
gress.
Organization is the human
steam-roller. The Catholic
Church was the steam-roller Of
medievel Europe. The Methodist
Conference of today is a steam
roller. So is the Political Party.
So is the Burlington Railroad, the
Standard Oil Company and the
Steel Trust.
So is the smartest in any given
town. The only way to avoid be-
ing flattened by it is to side-step.
The public school and the uni
versity are steam-rollers. They
are to reduce youth to the uni
formity of the cultured person.
When you have lost your indi-
viduality and conformed entire
ly to their set standards they
give you degree.
The steam roller is a good
thing. Without it there would
be no progress, the country could
not be developed, society would
lose it's exclusive charm, and
capital could not be amassed.
Still, comma, there are those
who think that the life that was
crushed out was worth possibly
more than the smooth road.

CLAIM LAND HAS
NOT BEEN ASSESSED

That there are thousands of
acres of patented lands and
many town lots in Navajo, Apa-
che, Coconino and Mohave coun-
ties that have never been asses
sed, is the belief of the state tax
commission.
Today the commission sent to
the supervisors of those counties
letters calling their attention to
the law requiring that all county
assessors must be supplied with
complete plats of patented lands
and towns that have been divided
into lots. The Apace, Navajo,
Coconino and Mohave supervisors
have left it to the assessors to
do the best they can without plats,
and it is regarded as certain that
some property has been missed,
1t is only from the United States
land office that accurate plats
can be secured. Under the pres
ent system in vogue in the four
northern counties the assessors
can assess only the patented land
and town lot of which they have
personal knowledge or which is
reported to them.
If there are lands and lots that
have never been assessed it is
not possible to collect back taxes.

The tax commission has writ
ten the supervisors of Apache,
Navajo, Coconino and Mohave
counties, drawing their attention
to the law requiring that each
county assessor be supplied with
accurate plats of patented lands
and townsites. The assessors of
those counties have no such plats
and it is the belief of the tax
commissioners that they have
overlooked much property that
is subject to taxation,

COMMON SENSE LAWS
TO SECURE JUSTICE

To remedy the present delays
and uncertainties of criminal pro
secutions the Standing Committee
of Criminal Law reported a num-
Der of recommendations at the
annual meeting of the American
Prison association. The paper
says:
'The committee desires tC
emphasize it's opinion which is
sustained by the general trend OF
newspaper and public sentiment
throughout the United States that
the delays and uncertainties in the
prosecution of criminal cases are
a detriment to entire communi-
mites. The very best guaranty
against crime is the Certainty and
celercy of it's prosecution and
punishment, and this should be
the aim of the criminal law and
its administrators. f"
The recommendations follow:
Il Legislation or constitutional
amendment should be hadrequire-
ing courts of criminal appeal to
disregard error in the admission
or rejection of evidence, or in the
instruction of the jury where the
guilt of a defendant is plain. The
statute directing that the Appel
ate Court disregate error not af-
fecting any substantial right of
the defendant" has been found
in FRACTION not to be sufficient
guarantee against improper re-
verals. The point aimed at is an
ascertainment of guilt.
e. The existing privilege OF
the defendent to remain silent
without corresponding privilege
existing in the prosecution tc
comment on his silence should be
abolished. The defendant in
several jurisdictions now is requir-
ed to take the same risk as any
other witness. The defendant
should not be permitted to plead
prior jeopardy in the event of g
mistrial or retrial unless the mer-
it's of the issue have been in some
form actually determined.
3, Indictments and informa-
tion should be simplified and a.
mendments thereto made easy.
The RECRUITMENT should be that
the defendant be advised with
reasonable certainty of the charge
against him. Peculiar forms of
language should be abolished and
simplicity substituted for thecom-
mon law method of pleading.
The only test of the indictments
or information should be an ap-
plication of the doctrineres ad-
judicata; in other words, if the
indictments described the offense
so that a second prosecution could
not lie for the same fact it should
be doomed a sufficient Indictment.
Amendments should be permitted
adlibitum reserving, however, tc
the defendant the privilege of ar
adjournment for preparing such
additional defense as might be
necessary.
"A. All available testimony
concerning the issue should be
made available.
"A serious defect in our pres
ent system is the fact that a wit
ness against whom no criminal
charge is pending may by simply
crossing an invisible state line,
avoid the subpoena of the juris.
diction where the crime was com.
mitted, and thus render impossi.
BILE the prosecution of the offend
er. There should be provided
some method of interstate rend.
ition of witnesses.
