T'HAW
STILL
CAL

NEW YORK, July 9.-Calmly,
without blinking an eye-lash.
Harry Thaw told today how he
deliberately walked up to the
table occupied by Stanford White,
nine years ago, at the Madison
Square Garden, and shot him
dead.
1t was the climax of his attempt
to prove to jury that he is not
insane, and he passed it without a
tremor, even when States Attor-
ney Cook made obvious attempts
in cross-questioning him to arouse
his anger.
Were you insane" asked
Cook, when you shot White?"
Harry answered, as he had
been coached by his attorneys,
that such a question of opinion
could not be answered properly
by layman.
did you consider yourself In
sane, and allow a plea of not
guilty on grounds of insanity to
be entered for your" he was ask
ed.
His attorneys objected success
fully to this question.
In his description of shooting
White, Thaw said he had been
drinking when he received note
that White was at the Madison
Square Garden. He went there
directly with Evelyn, walked
about bit, and saw White.
He was sitting up an aisle, IS
feet ahead of me-" said Thaw.
He was staring at me-
He paused and then added
calmly:
Then l walked up and shot
him."
He said he had been carrying
the pistol all day, and had been
intensely angered at Whites
treatment of Evelyn.
But through his recital, he kept
calm. evidently realizing the i'm
portance OF his demeanor on the
stand.
After having been led by Cook
over every period Of his life, dur.
Ling his sanity trial yesterday, a
climax came when with questions
In questioning to points Of the
actual killing OF White. Thaw
spoke evenly, with well modulat.
ed tones. not even raising his
voice. as the tense scene of the
roof garden was again drawn In
clear outline.
And as he proceeded with the
story Thaw often gazed upward
as n trying to visualize this tragic
moment In his life. A deathlik,
silence fell over the court room
as Thaw pronounced the fina
words Of his brief act.

err, coupled with the fact that the
young men visited X street sa-
loon, where they bought flasks OF
liquor, brought on the assault,
the police say. Wise and Gilbo
had felt hilarious at the smoker,
witnesses told the police and had
made remarks to the negro that
were deeply resented.
They had further incurred the
wrath of the negro by squirting
settler water at him from syphon
bottles, 1t was said by the police
today.
According to witnesses, after
Gilbo and Wise emerged from the
X street saloon, Winston darted
out from doorway. brandishing
a long knife, and stabbed Wise in
the neck.
The single wound was fatal.
Winston then stabbed Gilbo,
but the blow was slanting, and
proved to be little more than q
flesh wound.

Gilbo sank into the arms Of
Russ Hall, manager Of the Ia 20
ma Tiger team, who was near.
A. Avery, 81 " Tacoma avenue,
clutched at the negro, but was
forced to dodge when Winston
made a vicious swing at him with
the knife. Winston ran down
18th street, pursued by 20 men.
and easily outdistanced his pur-
suers.
Wise was married and had two
small children. He was employ
ed as shipping clerk for the Mac
Lean Brothers store, and lived at
1902 South M street.
Gilbo lives with his parents,

TO
Require
Reports

An ordinance requiring physl-
clans and hospitals to make DO
lice reports on all accident cases
occurring in Tacoma or brought
to the city from outside places,
will be introduced in the Taco
ma council shortly.
Commissioner Mills, aroused
over the recent failure of several
Tacoma hospitals to report acci-
dent and crime cases to the po-l
lice department, today declared
that he would draw up such an
ordinance and would demand ex-
plicitly that 1t be enforced. The
Times Wednesday night editorials
ly suggested that such Law
would be beneficial both to the
public and to the police.
In many other cities the Law
demands that official reports on
accident cases be made to the
police.
In Tacoma there IL no such
system. and It Is frequently the
case that hospital or physician
will refuse to make public any de-
tails regarding accidents that are
of interest to the public.

MOTHER
FIGHTS
FOR TOT

With both the mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Darst, and the adopted
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William
Fletcher, present in the court
room, the second fight for pretty
little Frances Elizabeth Barr be-
gan this afternoon before Judge
Card.
Mrs. Darst, who says she sign
ed away the rights to her child
while under the influence Of
drugs, demanded another chanc.
to prove she was entitled to her
little daughter.
Her attorney, William Arnold,
asserted that when Judge Card
ruled against her in her suit, he
erred in permitting her former
husband, from whom she is di-
vorced, to testify. His testimon,
was to the effect that she once
was a drug user, had been broken
of the habit, and then went back
to Ii again.
Affidavits were presented also
to show that William Fletcher
and Mrs. Fletcher, to whom the
child was given by the Washing
ton Children's Home, after Mrs.
Darst had signed her over to it,
were unfit persons to have the
child.
These charges were combatted
by the Fletchers, with a dozen af-
fidavits that their character was
above reproach and that the child
was fortunate to have such a
home as they gave 1t. An affi-
davit by John Georger that he
saw VIM. Fletcher on the street
drunk on June 80, was denied un-
der oath by both Fletcher and his
attorney, w. e. Elliott. Elliott
said he spent almost the entire
day with Fletcher, and could
swear as to his sobriety.
The issue before Judge Card
was whether a new trial should
be granted.

matches battened down and vast
quantities of steam forced into her

investigation will be legun into
the blaze which threatened to
reach the $4,000 tons of ammuni-
tion which she carried out from

in her hold, possibly by Frank
Holt, but before a decision is CIV
en- out as to the cause of the ac-
cident, a rigorous. probe will be
conducted.
For a time, however, the pro-
cess of suffocating any possible
fire by steam will be continued.
