larry THAW ON TRIAL AGAIN
JURY COMPLETED IN CONSPIR.
ACY CASE.
Evident From Start that Effort for
Prisoners Release is to BE Made.

New York, March SIN the room
where he twice faced a jury for the
murder of Stanford White, Harry X
Thaw today went on trial for con-
spring to escape from the State Hos
pital for the Criminal Insane at Mat
teawan. With him as codefendants
were five men, who, the state
charges. were parties TO the alleged
conspiracy. The entire day was re-
quired to complete the jury. Taking
OF testimony will begin tomorrow.
From the outset it was evident the
trial would be another fight for
Thaw's freedom. The defendants at
torneys plainly intimated that with
the permission OF the court they
would offer evidence designed to
prove their client was sane when he
escaped from the asylum. Such be-
ing the case, they said in examining
talesmen, the defendant was detained
illegally at the time Of his fight.
They asked prospective jurors
whether they would be prejudiced
against man Of sound mind who
used any means at his command to
escape from Il. hospital for the in
sane. These statements were ampli-
fed later by John =. Stanchfield
Thaw's chief counsel, who said tha;
should the jury find his client no,
guilty he Immediately would sue out
q writ Of habeas corpus on the ground
that his detention was illegal be-
cause the jury would have established
his sanity"
The States contention, as outlined
while an assistant district attorney
was questioning talesmen, is that
Thaw, although insane at the time
OF his escape, nevertheless was com.
pctent to enter into a conspiracy and
that he should he punished accord
ingly.
Deputy Attorney General Kennedy
in charge Of the prosecution, said
that if found he were guilty he
would be returned Immediately tc
Matteawan.
Thaw's codefendants are Richard
j. Butler, former State assemblvman
Roger Thompson. alleged to have been
the driver Of the machine in which,
Thaw fled; Michael O'Keefe, Eugene
Duffy and Thomas Flood.

POLICE MATRON" FOR COLCM-

excellent work in preventing it from
spreading to other buildings. Fortu-
nately there was practically no wind
and this aided them in their hard
fight which lasted for nearly five
hours, although the fro was itself un-
der control after the stables fell in.
Desperate efforts were made to save
the stock which was inclosed in the
stalls. All Of the doors were opened
and most Of the stock was driven out,
but some Of the animals, crazed by
fire, smoke, heat and noise dashed
back into the stables to die from the
fierce heat. A majority Of the animals
were driven out on the street and
most Of them spent the night at large
in the town. The two handsome
stations owned by Mr.. A. .. Hardy
were among those saved from the
fire. The handsome saddle horses be-
longing to Mr.. G. p. Exum was also
turned out with the others. It was
probably half crazed with heat and
bin ded by the smoke for it ran with
the other animals about the town
until they turned from Liberty street
into Levi street, nearly q half mile
from the fire, when the animal ran
into a telephone post and was killed
by the blow. Mr.. Exum sttaed tn
morning that he could not replace
the horse in his affection at any price.
He had had it for several years and
has made a pet Of it. He stated that
1t was probably worth about $3.50
and was among the animals covered
by blanket policy. Whether he
could recover on this policy was not
known.
Mr.. c. w. Smith lost six mules and
three horses and five or six other ami
mails which were turned out last
hight were still at large today, he
having been unable to find them
last night or this morning. Today he
heard from Paxville that some of his
missing animals were there and he
also heard from Mayesville that some
OF the animals were there.
Mr.. Geo. F. Epperson, with char
acteristic energy, this morning COM
menced preparations for the building
Of brick structure to take the place
OF the large frame structure which
was burned down. He stated that the
new building would be probably sixty
feet wide one hundred and twen-
ty-five feet long and would be on the
site Of the former building.
Workmen were engaged today in
cleaning up the burned timbers. tin
and other debris from the fire and
putting the horses on a pile of trash
to be burned.
The scene was visited by numerous
spectators during the day, who last
night had looked on without being
able to help.

partment Of agriculture The mat
ter was called to the attention of
Commissioner Watson by w. A. Ka-
moor Of Sumter.
investigation showed that the cir
culars were being sent out bv r. M
Darlington Of Richmond, president of
the Tobacco Association of the United
States. Commissioner Watson ad-
dressed a letter Of inquiry to Mr.. Car
rinston. The president Of the tobacco
association has made reply, in which
he states the reasons for the issuance
Of the circular calling upon the farm
ers to curtail the tobacco crop this
year
President Darlington says that the
association has tried to act in an i'm
personal manner, land We feel that
the interest Of the dealers in bright
tobacco and the farmers is Identical"
lie says that from all the statistical
information obtainable it appears
that the consumption of bright to-
bacco is about 225,0OO,0OO pounds.
Evidently the war has thrown this
business out Of gear" says Mr.. Car
rington.
| President Darlington states that he
has given the facts to Bright William
son Of Darlington and "he agrees with
the position taken"
Information gathered by the to-
bacco association shows that there is
very large stock Of bright tobacco
carried over from the 1913 crop by
the dealers and there Will be consid-
erable carried over from the 1914
crop.
The letter is in part as follows:
- 40 POSANiNSiy dSCcIldlIleQ lIldl
a very large crop will be planted for
1915 there will be very little chance
OF the dealers disposing Of that to-
hacco, except at loss, and they will
not be in very good position to be
very active bidders on the new crop,
and while an Independent dealer may
not buy very much, he is a consider
able factor on the market in bidding;
and especially many buyers are very
desirable in purchasing the South Car
DINA crop, because this tobacco is sold
ungraded and has to be sold very
rapidly; and at that season of the
year when the weather is warm, to
save the tobacco, it has got to be ham
died promptly, and to do this satisfac-
torily, it must be divided up among a
good many people"
President Darlington believes that
an increase in tobacco acreage in this
State will have "a most disastrous ef-
feet upon the price"

FOR ONE CENT LETTERS.
Austin OF Tennessee Declares COun.
try Demands Reduction in Price of
Postage.


Postage.
Washington, March Eff the
leaders Of congress would give its
members an opportunity to vote on
the proposition the American people
would be given a general one cent let
ter postage without any further de-
lay" said Representative Richard w.
Austin of Tennessee, today.
THE people are demanding such
legislation, and justly. Unless some
definite action is taken to adjust pos.
tai rates the influence Of the people
is going to begin to tell at the polls
just about election time when some
of our leading obstructionists come I'd
for reelection. The users Of the mails
are growing wiscr each day on the
situation and will eventually deliver
a telling blow unless congress mends
its ways by permitting some action to
be taken on postal rates.
There is an organized movement
being conducted against cheaper let
ter postage. 1t is a blind campaign
IN the form Of proposition to fix
a flat rate on parcel post to take the
place OF the zone rates which now
exist. Such change would greatly
aid the large mail order houses and
at the same time practically ruin the
small town and country merchant.
with a flat rate on parcel post the
small merchant would be thrown in
direct competition with the mail order
mousse. Under the existing zone sys-
tenn the small merchant does not feel
the pressure so much as his big COM
petitors segregated in a few places
OF the zones with profit. But with
4 fiat rate he will be able to COM
pete with the local merchant In any
part Of the country. And further"
said M. Austin, there is no reason
why any person mailing letter
should be forced to pay a tax OF one
cent Of every two paid, the ostimat-
ed profit to the government for
handling letter.
