Thirteen years ago he was arrested
for sending unlawful matter through

freed on bail.

Mrs. Sarah Jennie Gertrude y
Dean, an actress, has lost her suit for
a divorce against John Wooster Dean,
naming Fannie Ward. the actress, in
whose company the husband was lead
inc man. Saul j. Dickheiser, who
heard the case as referee and also the
counter action Of Dean, also finds
against Mrs. Dean, whose acquaint-
ance with Eddie Foy, the comedian
and father of the eight little Toys,
will give the husband a decree Of di-
vorce. if the referees report IS con-
frmed by the Supreme Court.
This is the first time that Foy'
whose right name is Fitzgerald has
been publicly mentioned in connection
with the Dean actions, the husband
merely referring to him when he
brought a counter suit as "a well
known actor" Foy, who has ap-
noared on vaudeville circuits with his
children. has been regarded as one Of
the most domesticated members OF the
dramatic profession.
Another probable effect Of the con

Hicks had not a word of complaint

Prison Commission last week. He
knew there had been some kind of an
inquiry and that it had come to a sud.

Pittsburgh Pays Little Attention
to Him-He Issues His Last"
Manifesto.

From star Correspondent q. me Tribune J
Pittsburgh. July 20.-Harry X. Thaw
retired from the spotlight to-day. In a
brief statement he said that he was
merely a private citizen Of Pittsburgh
now, and that his movements hence
forth would be of little interest. Later,
in a longer statement. which he said
was to be his last. he went over GER
tain features of his fight. The chief
purpose of this manifesto. he said, was
to fire a parting gun in a campaign he
started while in Matteawan. He wants
a Federal law prohibiting one state
from preventing citizen of another
state, acquitted of all charges, from
returning to his own state.
Thaw succeeded to-day in acting like
any other private citizen. He spent
the morning in his mothers home. Re-
porters and other callers were kept
away by two policemen whom Mrs
Thaw asked the Superintendent Of Po-
lice to station at the house.
A marked Improvement was visible
in Thaw's state. The last two days
Of his homeward ramblngs were
marked by the tension of overwrought
nerves at times, but to-day he was
happy and contented He fell in easily
with the environment of his mothers

After luncheon Thaw went down.
town to attend to business and passed
from one place to another almost un-
noticed. This lack of attention seemed
TO please him. He did not venture
into any of his clubs to-day, but he
has received word he will be well
coined back to them.
A place Thaw made a particular
point of visiting was the old Thaw
home, in StanwiX Street. in which he
Tas born. 1t is being remodelled for
the Industrial Branch Of the Society
for the Improvement of the Condition
Of the Poor.
Thaw also had a conference with

said, was the man in whose advice he

new era had opened before them, that
henceforth "organized warfare at the

ficiently strong to convince the workers
that violation of their agreement would

Washington, May 21.-Just before John D, Rockefeller, Jr., resumed his testimony today before the industrial relations commission, all the commits sioners met in executive session to con- slider the Round robin sent last night by Chairman Walsh calling for more m tolerate treatment of witnesses.
