GIANTS co BETTER
Regain Old Time Form and In
crease Lead.
Athletics Lose Full Game, but
Have Big Lead.

New York. Aug. 1S.-No new view
point in the championship outlook in
either of the major leagues has been
developed by another seven days of
baseball. OF the leaders in the Ma
tional and American circuits, the New
York Giants gained a half game, the
Philadelphia Athletics lost one full
game. leaving the situation practically
unchanged after week of interrupted
schedules, padded with double head
ers.
Playing better ball than any one of
the other clubs, McGraw's team, win
ming five games and losing one, not
only more than held its own, but sue
ceeded in making up the ground lost to
the PhilIies during the squirt of Doom S
players in the previous fortnight The
Giants by their return to form brought
their total of victories and defeats to
fourteen and six in three weeks past
The Phillies' figures in the same period
is thirteen won and five lost. In the
last week hey dropped two out of five.
For some time the Philadelphias had
been looked upon as the only one that
stood between McGraw and his third
consecutive pennant. but with less than
two moLths to go, the Philadelphias are
not even holding their own.
A better balanced week than the one
just ended in the American League
probably has not been furnished before
in this season, Cleveland. Chicago and
Washington each broke but little
better than even, winning three and
losing two. Detroit split even. two and
two. and the Athletics and the New
Yorks won two and lost three. This
left the St. Louis club winning but one
out of five and the Bostons winning
three out of four.
The present leads held by the Giants
and the Athletics prompted the Ma
tional commission to set october as
the date on which the 1913 worlds
series will start if these clubs win the
pennants

Harry K. Thaw escaped. was ar
raigned before Supreme Court JUS
tice MorschauSer at PoughkeepSie to-

He asked for counsel and the hearing

WOULDN'T BE A BURDEN
Kansas Widow Shoots Self Rather
Than Trouble Offspring.

Kansas City, Aug 1S.-Mrs Nellie
Howard, Al years old, committed sui
eide to save her children from what
she believed the burden of caring for
her. She had been making her home
with her son-in-law,- Leonard Nc
Laughlin, on a farm near Stony Point,
IN Wyandotte county, Kan.
Mrs. Howard loaded an old shotgun
that had no stock She held the bar
rel in her lap and placed the muzzle
TO her breast. Several bullets struck
her heart. The powder had set fire
to her clothing when members of the
family reached her.
Mrs. Howard had three children
Mrs. Mclaughlin, Clarissa, 81 years
old, and James, II years old. Her
husband died last summer. She left
two notes in which she declared she
felt she was becoming a burden to her
children.

SAW HIM GET AWAY.
Woman Witnessed the Escape From
Laundry Tower Window.

New York Aug. 1S.-Harry K Thaw's
more than "a hours absence from the
Matteawan asylum for the criminal in
sane had established little beyond the
fact that he had escaped and that the
state of New York in the opinion of
those qualified to speak had slim chance
of extradition. That he is beyond the
borders of the state was regarded as
certain. With the Connecticut state
lire only so miles from the asylum and
Thaw and his conSpiratorS travelling
by automobile more than 60 miles an
hour, reaching Connecticut was a mat
ter of 80 minutes or less. Whether
the slayer of Stanford White boarded
a yacht off South Norwalk, Gonna
theory advanced by the presence and
of yellow funnelled craft-had not
been borne out today.
On the other hand no authenticated
trace of Thaw had been found in Con-
necticut nor were there clews to his
having sped on toward the Canadian
border When found-and it was con-
sidered today foregone conclusion
that he would be found-the New York
authorities, it was said, might try to
force his extradition on one Of two
grounds:
First, that in escaping he technically
assaulted keeper; second, that bri-
berry of some attache of the asylum
could be shown. Either of these if sus-
tanned would constitute an extraditable
offense.
Barnum Maintains His Innocence
Howard Barnum, the gatekeeper by
whom Thaw darted through the open
gate to the automobile, remained in Jail
at Poughkeepsie today. He maintains
that he was innocent of any implica-
ton in any plot.
In New York, Mrs. Mary Copley
Thaw. mother of the fugitive continued
to receive visitors at her hotel apart
ments to all of whom she expressed
her unfeigned joy at her sons escape,

SHOOTING OF WHITE.
Tragedy Which Led to Thaw's 1ncar-
ceration at MatteaWan.

New York, Aug. 1S.-The theatr1-
cal escape of Harry K. ThaW. from the
state hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan adds another act to the
sensational tragedy that had its begin
ming in New York City on the night
of June 25, 1906. On that occasion,
in company with his young wife, Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw, and two 1rlenos,
Thaw went to the Madison Square
roof garden to witness the opening
performance of musical comedy.
Near the close of the performance
ThaW left his seat and began to pace
back and forth in the aisle behind
the seats occupied by Stanford White,
an architect of International fame, ana
his son., The elder White was 53
years old and in his distinguished ca
reer had stamped upon many of New
York City's prominent buildings the
mark of his artistic genius. Madison
Square garden itself was one of the
architects .triumphs and he had
studio in its tower. In passing, Thaw
drew a revolver and fired three bull
lets into Stanford Whites body. The
architect died almost instantly. 1t is
believed he did not see his slayer.
In :he confusion following no one
made an Nttempt to interrupt Thaw,
who for moment stood over his vic
tins PROSTATE body. Then he walked
to the elevator of the roof garden,
where he met a house detective and
handed over the revolver without re-
sistanCe.
Thaw was then arrested by a po-
Iiceman and while the officer had
his hand on his shoulder Mrs. Thaw
rushed up to her husband and placed
her arms around his neck. Thaw as
sured his wife that lit would be all
right and not to worry.
To this Mrs. Thaw rejoined, 81 did
not think you would do it that way"
and the added: Never mind, Harry.
I'll stick to you through thick and
thin
Thaw at the time of the tragedy
was 27 years old and was known as
the young spendthrift millionaire
from Pittsburg.
William Thaw, the father, was a
poor mechanic in Pittsburg and there
made small ventures in coal lands
with increasing good fortune. He was
said at one time to be the heaviest
individual owner of the Pennsylvania
railroad. When he died his estate
was said to be worth s4O,O0O.0OO.
By the will Harry K. Thaw was al
lowed $4,000 year. but his mother
increased this to $4,000 annually.
Evelyn Nesbit married Thaw in Pitts
burg on April 4, 1905. She was noted
among artists for her beauty and had
been in turn model and actress.
With Thaw in the Tombs, a legal
fight to free him began with the
weight of his famfly's millions be-
hind a formidable array of counsel.
His first trial resulted in a disagree
ment. At the second trial the jury
acquitted him on the charge of muir
der, on the ground that he was in
sane when he shot White and Justice
Dowling committed Thaw to Mattea-
wan as an insane criminal
He entered the asylum February 8,
1908. Since then the Thaw family
has spent a sum estimated at 100000
in efforts to have Thaw declared sane
and set at liberty.
