WASHINGTON, May 15.-Solicitor
Folk is today in possession of evil
dence showing deals between Tam

the New Haven railroad.
"Former President Mellen has told
me the whole political history of that
road" Folk declared today. He ex-
planned all the deals, all the cam
paign contributions, and, in some IN
stances, he has shown that he was
the go-between for New Haven board
of directors in political chickering's
with Tammany and scores of political
leaders in New England" said Folk.
Folk spent nearly eight hours exam
lining Mellen privately yesterday.
HThis examination showed" he said,
''that the New Haven received fayors
commensurate with the vast sums II
contributed, and that if the road had
refused to spend money lavishly 1t
would never have gotten any favors.

quarters.
One report was that McReynolds
would resign from the cabinet because
his appeal to the President to pre-

1t was pointed out, however. that the

pressed by two of his custodians yes
terday at a public hearing before the
commission appointed by the federal
court to pass upon the matter of
Thaw's mental condition and its re-
lation to his liberation under bond.
Holman A. Drew. sheriff of Coos
county, and Clark d. Stevens of the
local police force, who have had
Thaw in charge since September,
favored his admission to bail
Sheriff Drew told of his close rela-
tons with Thaw during the period
OF his custpdianship. During that
time he said Thaw had not shown
any tendency towards violence and
had manifested no ill-temper, no ir-
ritability and no lack of self-control.
The sheriff said that Thaw was
nervous and excited when first ar
rested at Colebrooke, after deporta-
ton from Canada. and also showed
some excitement when he was de-
nounced at the extradition hearing
before Gov. Felker by William T.
Jerome, special deputy attorney
general of New York, but no more
than any man would be under the
same circumstances, added the wit

men, in his opinion, was that Thaw

PARALLELS HAVE

Savannah News: DIR. Eliot, pres
ident emeritus of Harvard, does not
believe in the story of the Garden of
Eden. To his mind no serpent ever
tempted Mother Eve. If that be
true Eve didn't pass along the ap-
pie to Adam and so shouldn't be
charged, by menfolks of to-day, with
causing Adam to be turned out to
work for his living. DR.. Eliot also
rejects the story of Jonah and the
whale and doesn't believe Joshua ev-
er made the sun stand still. "Twen-
tieth century Christianity" he is
quoted as saying, will accept all
such stories as merely pleasant par
ahies, but not as literally true. II
the stories never had been written
