THAW GETS AWAY
SLAYER OF STANFORD WHITE
MAKES SENSATIONAL ESCAPE
FROM MATTEAWAN.
1T WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED
confederates in High Power Motor
Cars Were Waiting Outside and
Speedily Disappeared With
the Prisoner.

Matteawan, N. Y.-Harry X. Thaw,
the slayer of Stanford White, escaped
from the hospital here for the crimi-
nal insane at 7:45 o'clock in the
morning.
A dart for liberty through an open
gate, dash into the open door OF
powerful motor car that stood Quiy-
ering outside and a fight like a
rocket for the Connecticut state line,
thirty miles away, accomplished his
escape. He is still at large and the
hospital authorities felt certain he
was outside the state.
Once beyond it's boundaries Thaw
is free. Only perhaps years of liti-
cation can bring him back and then
only in one event-that he be ad-
judged insane in the state to which
he has fed.
Five confederates. manned the car
in which Thaw escaped and big
black limousine which trailed it past
the asylum gate. The police have
their license number and the names
under which they registered at a ho-
tel here Friday night and are seek
ing them.
The hospital authorities believe
Thaw has fled to the shore of Long
Island Sound and boarded a yacht
waiting with steam up to rush him
to Europe.
AS the big gates of the asylum
swung open to admit a milk wagon
Thaw made his dash for liberty. AS
Barnum, the guard, stepped aside for
the milkman to drive inside the
grounds he heard the gravel crunch
beneath Thaw's feet and, looking up,
saw the mailman flash past him
straight for one of the waiting cars.
With shout Barnum started in pur-
suit, but a flying leap landed Thaw
safe within the car
Before the keeper could fairly reach
the roadway the cars sped in whirl-
them from view. For a moment Bar
mum shaded his eyes with his hand
and watched them, then, with the
first great blot on his career of TWEEN
ty years as keeper, he ran back into
the grounds and locked the gate.
"Thaw's gone-escaped! he shout
ed. bursting into Doctor Kieb's office,
And in a moment the hunt was on.
Howard II. Barnum, the attendant
at the gate past whom Thaw flashed
in his break for freedom, is under
arrest and other arrests are expected
to follow in the rigid investigation
being conducted by Doctor Kieb.

constant Menace to public Health.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
estimates that there are over million
consumptives in the United States. of
whom probably at least one-third are
unable to provide for themselves the
necessary treatment at home. Most
of these cases are a menace to the
health of their families and associated
and should be in special hospitals. At
the present time, however, even II
every case were known, 1t would not
be possible to provide accommodations
for more than one in eight or ten. The
removal of these foci of infection de-
mands more and better hospital and
sanatorium provision.

THEY CAN'T BRING HIM BACK
Once Thaw Got Out of New York
state He Was a Free
Man.

New York, N. Y-Dr. Charles Ken
nedy, Harry X. Thaw's former law
yer. and Dr. Austin Flint, an alienist,
VINO testified against Thaw in his le-
gal flights for freedom, are united in
the opinion that Thaw could not be
brought back to New York by extra
dition proceedings.
IF Thaw succeeds in getting into
any other state or into Canada. he
Is a free man." DR.. Kennedy said.
Once in Connecticut, DR.. Flint said.
Thaw would be free man. He add
ed that there were no laws under
which Thaw could be brought back
to New York, and that it would be
an easy matter for Thaw to go to
Boston or any other Atlantic seaport
outside of New York, and take a
steamer for Europe.

support McDermott. had lent him
money, had helped him in his cam
paigns, and now he said, McDermott
had thrown him down" and he felt
he must tell the truth.
In addition to the charges already
made, McMichaels swore that the Chi

received $500 out of a fund of $780,
900 raised by the pawnbrokers of
Washington TO oppose a bill passed
in the last congress regulating inter-
est rates in the District of Columbia
In this connection McMichaels told OF

conferred with John McDermott of an
association of brewers. and with
George H. Horning, a pawnbroker
Concluding his testimony, McMich-
aels testified that McDermott, since
the Mulhall expose, had endeavored
to get him to conceal McDermott's
part in the transaction.
