THAW SANE,
JURY FINDS;
TO GO FREE
Verdict Brought In After
an Hours De-
liberation.

NEW YORK, July 14.-Harry K.
Thaw has been declared to be sane
man by a jury in the Supreme Court
before Judge Hendrick this after
noon. The jury was out little more
than one hour.
The verdict of the jury was In the
nature of a recommendation to JUS
tice Hendrick. The court is expected
to approve their finding. This de-
clsion, however, will not operate at
once to free Thaw.
The State announced prior to sub
mission of the case to the jury that In
case a decision favorable to Thaw
was returned an immediate appeal
would be taken. He may be released
however, on bail.
The case went to the jury at
2.5S p. m. today, after brief charge
by the court.
Hendrick that the slayer of Stanford
White be freed the State of New York
will appeal the case.
Presentation of evidence In the
trial closed at 1910 a. m. to-
day, and Deputy Attorney General
Cook began summing up. Cook
planned to consume about forty-five
minutes and Thaw's attorney two or
three hours. 1t appeared probable
that the case would go to the jury
early this afternoon.

ACTION ON REPLY
TO BERLIN AWAITS
WILSON'S return
No Developments Anticipated
Until Cabinet Meeting
Next Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, July Pending
the return Of President Wilson from
Cornish, N H., II was believed here
today there would be no further de-
velopments in the situation that has
United States over German sub
marine warfare.
Just when the president would re-
turn to take up with his cabinet the
atest German note was not definitely
known, but the president In a dis
patch to Secretary Tumulty said that
he would be here soon. The SUPPOSE
tion Is that he will be in Washing
ton the last of the week and that the
subject will be considered at Tues
days cabinet meeting.
The presidents telegram was given
out as q White House statement and
ended rumors concerning his attitude
toward the German reply. 1t indi-
Gated that the president had reached
no decision as to the policy of the
government and 1t Ia believed to
have been called forth by statements
that he already had made up his
mind and that he did not view the
situation as seriously as some of his
advisers.
Giving Closest Attention.
The statement said the president
was giving the German note his
closest attention, keeping constantly
in touch with Secretary Lansing, and
that as soon as both had matursly
considered the situation the president
would return personally to confer
with Mr.. Lansing and the cabinet,
after which there would be as prompt
IAN announcement as possible of the
purposes Of the government.
The theory that the Berlin foreign
office wants the United States to act
as mediator between Germany and
Great Britain relative to methods o.
marine warfare was the subject OF
much comment in official circles to-
day.
There has been no question at any
time that the kaiser had intimated 9
willingness to cease his submarine
operations If England would drop Its
starvation blockade. The last note

ONLY 100000
BR|TONS ARE
AT THE FRONT
Lord lansdoWne Gives Surpris-
ing Figures-He Hints at
Conscription.

LONDON. July 14.--"The six divi-
sions of the British army that went
out at the very outset of the war
have been followed by other, and yet
others, and unless | am mistaken we
have twenty-five or twenty three
divisions Approximately 100000 to
AGO 600 men) at this moment in the
European theater."
Lord Lansdowne made this state
ment in moving the second reading
of the national registration bill In
rne House of Lords last evening. He
added that all the time Lord Kitch-
ener had been recruiting his armies
and the stream of men had been flow
ing in a volume which was matter
of surprise to most people. The
stream of equipment did not flow so
satisfactorily, but prodigious efforts
had been made to remedy the errors,
and he was glad to think that these
efforts had been attended with a con-
siderable degree of success.
The bill, said Lord Lansdowne, was
not intended to introduce compulsory
service, but If compulsory service
ever became necessary a national
register would greatly assist in in
PRODUCING it. As the duration of the
war could not be predicated, it was
impossible to say whether it' could be
brought to a successful conclusion
without compulsion.
Lord Lansdowne expressed the
opinion that the voluntary system
with it's present anomalies and in
justices would not much longer be
tolerated by the country. A third. of
the men now serving were married
men.
This" said Lord Lansdowne, lis a
terrifying proposition when you think
of the number of unmarried men who
have not yet ipined the army"

CITY PLAN BOARD
NEARING END OF
ITS EXISTENCE
Without Funds It Is Expected
to Cease Work Before
Ten Days.

There is much conjecture whether
the City Plan Commission is to at
tempt reversal of the action of the
finance committee of Common Coun-
Gil, which practically abolished the
commission by failing to appropriate
funds to see 1t through the year, when
the budget was adopted recently.
Members Of the commission have dis
cussed such an attempt informally,
but no official or formal action toward
keeping the commission alive and
financed has yet been taken.
The office of the commission, on the
twelfth floor of the Firemen's build
ing, Is expected to be closed within
ten days
The amount the finance committee
included in the budget was only suffi-
cient to tide the commission over July
1, but Secretary Harland Bartholo-
new stated today the commission had
saved from it's prior appropriation
enough to keep its Office open until
aDout July 20.
The next regular meeting date of
the commission is Tuesday, July 20,
but the plan is now to hold meeting
on the 23d, and wind UP the commits
sion's affairs. or else decide on an at
tempt to keep 1t going.

CAN SALARIES
OF TEACHERS Be
HELD FOR DEBT?
Carnishee Laws Powers Cues
toned by Members of the
Board of Education.

An attempt TO enforce upon the
Board of Education the garnishee
law, which permits a creditor to at
tach debtors wages, was shown last
night in a letter received by the
boards committee On instruction and
educational supplies.
The question was referred to coun-
sell Commissioner Frank III. Sommer
started the work of revising the rules
and regulations under which the
board operates. He called attention
to the fact that the regulations were
at variance with many of the board s
actions.
The garnishee law question arose
when the letter from a local lawyer
was read. 1t stated a judgment had
been obtained against a teacher for
a grocery bill, the suit having gone
undefended. An execution was re-
turned unsatisfied. After telling the
board he was informed the teacher re-
ceived good salary, the lawyer con-
tinued:
THE law now permits an execution
compelling the board to pay portion
of the teachers salary each week to
the judgment creditor. AS this would
be cumbersome and inconvenient to
the board, 1t occurred to me that you
might be able to influence the teacher
to pay the judgment without the ex-
pense and discomfort of such execu-
ton"
Commissioner Charles P. Taylor ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the
garnishee law authorized the attach
ment of teachers salaries. The mat
ter was left In the hands of Charles
NJ Myers. counsel for the board.
Acting upon the suggestion of Mr..
Sommer. the committee appointed a
special committee to revise the rules
and regulations of the board. The
members of the committee are Judge
Frederic L. Johnson, president of the
board; Edgar r. Brown, chairman of
the teachers committee, and Mr.,
Sommer.
Salary Wrangle Ended.
The discussion of the regulations
followed the reading of letter from
