WHITMAN, JUNIOR,
CREETS GOVERNOR
He Weighs Almost Seven
Pounds and Is First
Bow in Family.
rFrom a s,a1 Correspondent, Of The Tribune. J

Albany, March 1l.-Charles Seymour
Whitman, jr., arrived here a little be-
fore o'clock this morning, bringing
with him lusty voice and the distinc-
tion Of being the first boy 5orn in the
Executive Mansion.
Governor Whitman was radiant with
smiles when he received the newspaper
men this evening, and remarked: 81
canno. say there's nothing new to-day"
After the Governor had told that
Mrs. Whitman and the boy were doing
well, he said he had not received a
statement on the stat, finances from
Charles Seymour VII man, jr., adding:
"But what he has been discussing he
has discussed quite vociferously all
day"
When asked if name had been de-
termined upon. the Governor replied: {:
81 gave him mine. That was all | had
TO give him"
The little fellow tip. the scales just
a little under seven pounds. He is
the second child of the Whitmans and
the second to be born in the Executive
Mansion. The first was Elizabeth. boz
to Governor and Mrs. Hughes in Au-
gust, 1907
Olive Whitman, who was four years
old last October, was delighted when
told at breakfast this morning that she
had a little brother. All Albany knew
it about the same time, and messages
of congratulation began to arrive.
Due cognizance of the event was
taken by the Legislature. In the SEN
ate the following resolution, offered by
the majority leader, Senator Brown,
was adopted unanimously:
"Resolved. That the Senate tenderS
its hearty congratulations to the Gov
ernor on the addition to the executive
force at the mansion, and expresses its
profound interest in the welfare of
Mrs. Whitman and nc future Gov
ernor."
In the Assembly Joseph D. Kelly, of
New York, moved that the privileges of
tn floor be extended to Charles Sey-
mour Whitman, jr., and the motion was
carried.

the entrance as the report Of re-
volver came from within, and Nelson
dropped with a bullet in his right arm.
While others picked him up Ryan
took up the pursuit. The robber rushed
out the door leading TO the rear yard.
Ryan followed, but tripped over board
apparently placed there for just such a
purpose.
When Ryan had Strengthened up
again his quarry was disappearing over
a fence into the yard of house front
ing on Forty-ffth street
By this time Police Headquarters
heard of the daring hold-up and the
shooting of the man who led the chase.
Captain Ormsbee arrived with fltteen
patrolmen, Captain Gildea brought an
automobile load of detectives and an
ambulance came to carry Nelson to the
hospital.
With the swarm OF detectives and
uniformed policemen who were soon on
the scene a house TO house search
began. The injured man had been able
TO give an accurate description of. the
bandits. At 302 West Forty-fifth
Street, into the back yard of which
the man with the loot disappeared, Le-
teetives examined William Grist, who
said he was a laundryman. Soon a
clerk, who said he was Edward Francis,
came in, and both were taken to the
nearest branch for grilling exanins-
tion.
When Nelson left the hospital, how
ever, he disappeared, and late Fst
night detectives were as busy search
ing for him as they were for the
robbers. At the address he gave. 1t
was said that he had not lived there
in sixteen months. Grist and Francis
were held on suspicion Of being I'M
plicated in the robbery. A cap with
the name Of a West Virginia dealer
is the strongest evidence against them.
Grist came from Washington, and
Francis from Virginia.
Careful search among the pieces OF
the window that had splintered on the
sidewalk revealed pair OF diamond
earrings valued at $1,000. Ryan took
account of stock and estimated his loss
at $4,000 Among the big pieces taken
were a lavallierc. $3.50; heart set
with l2O diamonds, $1,000; pin IN
the form of butterfly, $500. and a
barrette, $3.50.

A PLEA FOR SANITY

Alfred Lewis Advised Flight

Six thousand dollars was the price
Harry K Thaw paid "Big Dick" Butler
and his men for whisking him away
from Matteawan. He ran out of the
asylum gate on the advice of Alfred
Henry Lewis, the writer, now dead, who
assured him that since he believed him
self sane to do so would not be
crime, so long az he did not use vio-
lence or the corruption of hospital en-
ployes to further his purpose. H. A.
Hoffman, a former under sheriff of
Duchess County, engaged Butler for
the job.
So Thaw testified yesterday in his
own behalf at his trial with Butler and
four others on a charge of conspiracy
to effect his escape from Matteawan.
For every detail of that escape he took
full and unqualified responsibility upon
himself. denying that there was any
thing in the nature of conspiracy
in it,
There was no conspiracy at all, he
said "Mr Hoffman simply acted un-
der my instructions. At my direction
he hired men to be on hand Sunday
morning with two automobiles, to obey
my orders. There was no previous
communication between Mr. Butler and
myself.
No Crime, Thaw Declares.
"When | ran out Of the gate had
never seen the men before. did not
believe | was committing any CRIME,
because I knew myself TO be sane, and
[ had no hopes of gaining my freedom
by other means
This story he told was in careful
conformity to the theory OF the de-
fence advanced by John B. Stanchtield,
Thaw's counsel, in his opening address
TO the jury. Following that address
Mr.. Stanchfield had fought hard for a
ruling of the court TO admit testimony
as to Thaw's mental state at the time
of the escape. The jury was dismissed
during this argument, which went en-
tirely against the defence. Judge Page
was unwavering in his determination
to prevent the present trial from being
turned into a Thaw sanity test.

from The Tribune Bureau

Washington, March 1l.-Unless the
German government voluntarily offers
to make restitution for the destruction
of the American ship William ?. Frye,
sunk by the converted cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich in the South Atlantic,
and expresses regret for the occur
renee, strong protest will be made by
the United States with a request for
reparation. No announcement concern
ing the case probably will be made, 1t
was said by high officials until after an
investigation of all the facts had been
completed.
President Wilson assumed active dl-
rection to-day of the investigation into
the sinking OF the William !. Frye:
The investigation has been conducted
all day by the Treasury Department
and a report is expected here early to
morrow morning for the use OF the
President when he takes up the DIS
cussion Of the case with his Cabinet.
The President directed that the investi-
CATION be held so that he could nave
all the facts at his disposition before

Germany. The following statement was
issued at the White House to-day:
"The President when asked regard
ing the sinking of the American sail
ing ship William P. Frye by the Ger,
man auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, said:
"A most searching inquiry will be
made. and whatever action is taken will
be based upon the result Of that IN
quiry." ~
II was said in some quarters tonight
that Germany would probably ant!ci-
pate this demand by forwarding an
apology, together with a promise to
make restitution to this government.
All of the evidence gathered by the
Treasury Department will be turned
over to the State Department. where 1t
will be whipped into shape for presen-
tation to the President and his Cab
met.

to-day that the American note TO Ger

M'AD00 FACES KNIFE
Secretary to Undergo Opera'
ton for Appendicitis To day.
tPrcm The Tribune Buresu.l


Washington. March 1l.-Secretary
McAdoo went to Providence Hospital
to-day. where he will undergo an
operation for appendicitis tomorrow.
An announcement given out in the
Treasury Department says there are
no complications. and that the opera
tion will be performed by Drs. Cary
T. Grayson and A. NJ. Fauntleroy.
There was nothing in Mr.. McAdoo's
condition to indicate serious illness.
He has been ailing to some extent for
the last three or four days, but has
kept at his desk without interruption.
MIR. McAdoo was at work at his office
until a late hour last night, and his
decision 10 undergo an operation IL
largely precautionary.
The President was much concerned
over the condition Of his son-in-law
but is confident that the promptness
with which he decided to submit to
an operation and his usual robust
health will insure a quick recovery.
