H. X. THAW FOUND SANE
SLAYER OF STANFORD WHITE
WINS LONG BATTLE.
Justice Hendrlck Approves Verdict of
Jury and Releases Him on Ball
Pending Appeal.

New York; July 17.-Harry X. Thaw
Friday won his nine-year fight for lib
erty. Justice Hendrick of the su-
preme court approved the verdict of
the tlry finding the slayer of Stanford
White sane, and released him on $685.
900 bail pending an appeal by the
state.
New York, July 16.-Harry Kendall
Thaw was declared sane on Wednes-
day by jury which for nearly three
weeks listened to testimony given in
the supreme court here before Justice
Peter Hendrick. Forty-eight minutes
were consumed and two ballots were
taken in reaching verdict.
Justice Hendrick read the verdict
and handed it back to the clerk.
Gentlemen of the jury" said the
clerk, "the question you have been
asked is this: Is Harry X. Thaw sane?
Your answer is yes"
Thaw went to where his mother was
sitting few feet away and, throwing
his arms about her neck, kissed her.
The verdict recorder, John B,
Stanchfield, chief counsel for Thaw,
made a motion that the commitment
signed by Justice Bowling, following
a verdict of not guilty on the ground
of insanity, which was returned by the
jury at Thaw's second trial for the
murder of White, be vacated. Deputy
Attorney General Becker in reply re-
quested time in which the state might
prepare an appeal.
AS soon as the jury was dismissed
Thaw crossed to the box and shook
hands warmly with each of the men.
His mother also shook hands with the
jurymen, saying to each: THANK you
so much for all that you have done"
Outside the courthouse wide flight
of steps had been crowded all after
noon. The street and the sidewalks
on either side of it also were con.
gested. When Thaw, flanked by dep
uty sheriffs, appeared n the doorway
great cheer went up and those who
did not cheer applaudeG with their
hands

GERMANS GAINING.
GREATEST PART OF cZAR's ARM
les MAY BE CRUSHED IN
THE TRAP.
Two-thlrds Of Emperor's Men Thrown
In Colossal Campaign in
the East.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-North and south the Ger
mans have pierced the Russian front,
according to dispatches from Berlin
and Vienna, and millions of soldiers
under Won Hindenburg and millions
under Won Mackensen are smashing
forward to close the gap behind War
saw and trap, crush and destroy the
greatest portion of the Russian arm
les. On a front of more than 400 miles,
for daring and startling maneuvers
and the colossal number of men en-
gagged, Teuton and Slav are at death
grips. No less than two-thirds of the
Germans under arms have been
thrown into this Eastern battle, ac-
cording to the estimates of military
experts, while practically the entire
strength of Austria-Hungary has been
added to the Armageddon on which
hangs the fate of nations.
The long maturing plans of Won
Hindenburg, the Prussian military ge-
MUS, which.it has been predicted will
startle the world, are in process of
quick development. Leading his own
legions, he has split and broken the
Russian front south of Przasnysz, and,
hurling his legions forward on the
heels of the rapidly retreating SlaVs,
has extended his advance until it ap-
proaches the banks of the Narew. Won
Hindenburg's first blow was struck
southwest of Mlawa, where, by brill
liant storming action, the army under
General Gallwitz swept three success
sive Russian lines northeast and
northwest Of Przasnysz, and smash
ing through, pressed forward to the
Dziclin Lipa River. Staggered by the
blow, the Russians wavered, fell back,
evacuating Przasnysz, and retired
upon an extended and long prepared
line in the rear of Ciechanow and
Krasnosielc.

U. S. URGED TO ACT
GERMAN ENVOY ASKS NEW EF
FORT TO END BRITISH
STARVATION POLICY.
"No," DECLARES SECRETARY
Lansing Declines to Again Sound Great
Britain on the Subjcct-Matters
Now Stand on Basis Of GermanyS
Previous Contentious.

Washington, July 19-In an inter
view here, to which considerable i'm
portance had been attached. Count
Won 9ernstorfS, the German Gmbassa-
dor. found Secretary Lansing unre'
sponsive to a suggestion that the Uni.
ted States undertake again to ap'
proach Great Britain with a view Of
effecting an arrangement under the
terms of which the British embargo
on shipments of supplies of all kinds
to German ports and the German sub
marine warfare on unarmed merchant
ships would be discontinued.
This proposal appeared to be the
main purpose of the ambassadors call
on the secretary of state. Briefly, tho
position of Secretary Lansing was
that, as the German proposal had
been suggested to Great Britain pre-
viously and had failed to bring any
response, it was useless to renew it.
The interview between Count Won
Bernstorff and Secretary Lansing
might be construed as of primary i'm
portance if the ambassador had not
given the impression that he was act
ing on his own initiative and did not
appear as the bearer of direct pro-
posals from his government.
Beyond the suggestion that the
United States again undertake to
bring about a modus vivendi that
would bind Great Britain to suspend
what the German government terms
"Englands starvation policy" and bind
Germany to discontinue the sinking Of
merchant ships before an opportunity
was given to enable their passengers
and crews to reach place, of safety
nothing was said by the German en-
voy, according to the best information
obtainable, to change the understand
ing o. the United States on Germany's
attitude as made known in the latest
note of the Berlin government.
AS matters stand the response of
this government will be based on Ger
many's unwillingness to concede that
she is bound by the established rule
of International law that a merchant
vessel, no matter what its status,
shall not be sent to the bottom by
German submarine until after the re-
quirement Of visit and search has
been complied with and passengers
and crew have been afforded time to
reach a place of safety.

FOUR PERISH IN OHIO FLOOD
Lima and Vicinity Hard Hit-Farmers
Suffer HeaviIy-crops Reported
Ruined-Loss $2,0oo,ooO.

Cleveland, O., July 19.-Floods which
raced through towns and cities in cen
trail Ohio, following torrential rains of
Thursday night, took a toll of four
lives and caused property damage
estimated at more than $2,O00000.
Conditions in several cities virtually
equaled those of the disastrous hoods
of 1913, when MORE than 500 lives
were lost in Ohio. Hundreds of acres
of land are under eater and vast areas
are imperiled by weak levees.
Lima, where three of the four lives
were lost, is probably the worst sufferer
of any Ohio city. Late reports are
that more than 1900 are homeless and
the property loss is probably $2,OOO,-
900. The known dead there are
James Logue, claim agent of the Ohio
Electric Railway company; electrician,
an unidentified negro, drowned while
aiding in relief work, and Mrs. Laura
Bercaw.

HELP FOR RATTLESNAKE BITE

, Marmarth Mail: In view of the
sad tragedy that occurred this week
as a result of a rattlesnake bite
wherein life was lost, DR.. Bordwell
has requested that the Mail publish
instructions suitable for first aid to
victims Of rattlesnake bite.
Immediately place a turnquet or
construction on the limb above the
bite, with a knot directly over the
large vein, and then by placing a
small stick in the turniquet, twist it
around until it becomes so tight that
the blood cannot circulate. After this
is done, cut into the bite with a sharp
and clean knife, and by placing the
lips over the wound draw as much of
the blood and poison out as your
strength will allow.
Hurry the victim to physician
as the turniquet must not be left on
longer than four or five hours to the
extreme, as it will thus result in de-
struction of the limb.
The treatment given by the physi-
clan is an application of Potassium
Permanginate of which table spoon
full is dissolved in a glass of water,
after which a cloth is saturated with
the solution and applied direct to the
wound. A small quantity of this drug
can readily be kept in the family med
ical chest.
The most important part of the
treatment is to prevent the poison
from getting into the body as much
as possible.

GOVERNMENT RENTS FOR COAL

D. A. Williams, Amidon's coal
baron, received a welcome surprise
the other day when he received a
check from the United States govern
ment for $333.30. This was the
amount that Mr.. Williams paid the
government three years ago for 500
loads of coal which he had taken from
the mine on his homestead just south
of town.
Mr.. Williams does not know just
why the government paid his money
back but the story of the case is that
complaint was made during the sum-
mer three years ago that he was
selling coal from his homestead.
The government inspector who inves-
tigated got affidavits from neighbors
that he had sold about 500 loads and
Mr.. Williams was asked to pay for
this amount at the rate of 62h
cents per load. This he did. After
ward he bought the coal rights from
the government and has been furnish
ing coal to the people of Amidon and
| vicinity. Some time ago he made
proof on his land and this week he
received the fine money. And Mr..
| Williams thinks it is pretty fine and
is well pleased as he had made no
effort to have the money returned
