Matteawan Asylum $50 that, as an
insane person, he would be unabIa
TO make a will quitting her off from
his fortune
The question, nat by one of Thaw's
attorneys, was said to have been
prompted by a published article
quoting Mrs. Thaw as being fearful
for the safety of her SON if her hus-
band should be released. Mrs Thaw,
who has been served with a subpoena
at Chateaugay. Lake, is expected to
reach here tomorrow and to testify

+ "Thaw told me-" DR.. Mills said,
that his wife had motives in want
ing to keep him in Matteawan. He
cldn't think she had anything against
him personally or was apprehensive
for her. son, but he thought she be-
Heved that as long as he was in Mat

cutting her off," 80
DR.. Mills, last of the witnesses to
be called for Thaw, was still under
examination when recess was taken.

fused to modify his opinion that var
ious acts in Thaw's life, which the
state alleges were symptomatic Of
paraonia, were those of a. sane man.
Thaw, DR.. Mills said, had told him
that he had objected to an alleged
scheme on the part of certain lawyers
and alienists, prior to his first trial
for murder. to send him to Mattea-
wan in order to avoid publicity and
protect the regulations of Stanford
White and others.

Mills, that the killing of Stanford
White was the greatest mistake Of
my life"
DO you believe that Thaw regret
ted the act %

BAsELEss DEFAMATION.
Germany Denies British Charge of
Trickery Regarding War.

Berlin, June 80, by Wireless Teleg-
raphy to Sayville, N. Y.--Among the
news items prepared by the Overseas
News Agency for distribution abroad
by wireless telegraphy is the follow
ing:
THE assertion made by David
Lloyd George, the British minister of
munitions, that Germany, while pre-
pairing for war by buying and manu-
featuring ammunition. was friendly
and meek towards all the powers,
especially Great Britain, throwing off
her mask only after completing her
war preparations, is officially de-
nounced by the German government
as a baseless defamation. The best
proof to the contrary is the fact that
Germany, soon after the beginning of
the war, suffered from a lack of am
munition, which, however was quick
ly removed by the efficiency OF Ger
man industry"

SOME <MACHINISTS
AT UNION MEETING
But Most of Them Are Conspicuous
by Their Absence-To Hold
Another Meeting.

With ouly about forty men in at
tendance the much advertised organi-
cation meeting of the New Britain
branch of the international Associa-
ton of Machinists was held in Car
penter's hall on Church street last
evening. Enthusiasm was not as rife
as some might have expected and
much Of the interest and the large
attendance expected was conspicuous
by it's absence, the majority of the
skilled mechanics in this city placing
no confidence in this new movement.
Charles Sehl, the general organizer,
presided at the meeting and ex
pressed himself as we'll pleased with
the turn out. He outlined his plan for
organizing a upion in this city and
told his listeners what similar unions
have accomplished for the welfare of
the mechanic in other places. A few
Of those present made suggestions as
to the best way to organize here and a
list Of every machinist in this city will
be compiled in order that the or
ganizer may keep in touch with them
and eventually secure their CO.
operation If possible. Mr.. Sehl will
also distribute circulars at the fac
tories and will hold another meeting
next week Friday, presumably in st.
Jean de Baptiste hall. Off1cers will
not be- elected until after a strong
union is organized
In telling of conditions the orr
ganizer stated that with the flourish
ing business. conditions of tdoay when
large concerns everywhere are ad-
vertising for men, the niachinists
should not feel timid about organizing.
He declared that in this city the ma
chirists have to work more hours for
the same pay than they ought and
that this can be remedied if the men
will stick together and demand better
pay and hours.
IL As good as this sounds. however, 1T
has aroused but little interest among
the local trad esmena afld canvass Of
many OF therneb brings out the informa-
ton that they do not believe any such
union in New Britain is needed or will
be successful.

1000 RIFLES ON SCHOONER.
/ ,OOO, 900 Dunn Dunn Cartridges Also
Found--Bound for Belligerent.

Hoquiam, Wash, June 30.-On
board the three nasted schooner
Annie Larsen, taken in charge by
customs officers when she arrived here
yesterday, are said to be 1000 old
style Springfield rifles and 1000, 900
cartridges of the dunn dunn type.
Though the manifest cleared her
from San Diego, Cal, for Topolo-
bampo, Mex, there is a belief in Of
fetal quarters that the Larsen's
cargo was intended for one Of the
European belligerents. The cargo, it
was said, originated in Kansas City
and was to have been transferred at
Socorro Island, barren island 500
miles off the Mexican coast, to the
former Standard Oil tanker Maver
lex, now under charter to the Jeb-
sen company. Her captain. Paul FL.
Schulter, it is alleged, was instructed
that a super-cargo. Walter Page,
would be aboard and that he would
get his sailing orders after he got
to sea.
The Larsen's cargo from Kansas
city was shipped to New York city,
from there by steamer to Galveston,
and then by rail to San Diego, and
transferred to the Larsen. The
cargo is valued at 100000.
