and Cheerful As Case is Called.

Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer OF
Stanford White, smilingly came into
the criminal branch of the supreme
court in New York Monday to stand
trial for conspiracy to escape from
the state hospital for the criminal
insane at Matteawan. Five men
charged with assisting in the con
spiracy were placed on trial with
him.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, the chief
defendants mother. accompanied by
Mrs. George Carnegie, Thaw's sister,
appeared in court early. Thaw APP
peared to be in excellent health.
When the names of Thaw's code
PENDANTS were called, none of them
answered. Deputy sheriffs were sent
into the corridors of the court house
and finally came back with the other
defendants-Roger Thompson, Eu-
gene Duffy. Thomas Flood, Richard
j. Butler and Michael O'Keefe.

so many ways of destroying them oil
persuading them to move away. II
any one likes to handle the beasts he
can get great results from sewing a
red Jacket upon a rat or covering him
with a coat of paint. We presume
that neither destroys the rat, but that
envy of the decorated member of the
species leads all other members to
move away. A collar and bell on a
live rat are recommended. The eats
found it difficult to get a committee to
attend to this duty, as the readers of
Aesop will remember. or we're there
no bells in the time of Aesop. A Goa
of tar-not necessarily accompanied
by feathers-is recommended by ex-
pert of Massachusetts. If you dislike
handling the animals. let cats and ter
and ferrets do it, or upt tar in
their Observation-Disclosures Record.

PLOT TO AID BARNES

Against Printing Legislature

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-George w. Per-
Rims fears that William Barnes will
gain financially IL the new State con-
stitution is adopted. He sees In the pro-
posal to have the minutes Of the legis-
lature printed day by day q scheme to
add to the ex-Republican State chair
mans revenue from printing contracts
At the Manhattan Hotel, where fifty
hve Progressive county chairmen were
gathered to talk about the constitution
and party enrolment plans. one Of the
debaters said he liked the idea Of having
the senate and assembly speeches pub
lished every day. so that the public
this was a truly progressive feature Of
the proposed constitution.

tuition provides for daily printing. but

that under the present law, which the

the same concern that did 1t when Mr..
Barnes was so largely interested IN the
contracts, as proved IN the syracuse
libel trial by Jury Of twelve men. six
of whom were Republicans.
II presume that this clause OF the
constitution was put in by Mr.. Wicker

publican party to Mr.. Barnes for what
Mr. Wickersham, in a speech before the
constitutional convention called the
magnificent fight' made by. Mr.. Barnes
in the Republican convention at Chi
cago in 1872
The Progressives didn't make up their
minds about the constitution. So many
of them said they hadn't had time to
study it that the company will meet
again in ten days or two weeks for
definite action. The main objection
heard yesterday was that the constitu-
ton is to be offered to the voters as q
whole, instead Of for decision section by
section. Mr.. Perkins and others said
that the Ohio plan Of voting on the
sections separately was better. Among
those who approved Of the constitution
on the whole were Virgil X. Kellogg, of
Watertown. and Ernest Cawcroft. Of
jamestown.
Mr. Perkins was asked II he was dis
couraged by the small number of
Brooklyn Progressives who voted in
Tuesdays primary.
Not at all he said. 1.-The percent
age of Progressives who turned out was
Just as large as the Republican per-
centage. In Syracuse we did better than
the Republicans relatively. haven't
heard a discouraging note. We are get
ting along very well with our plans for
increasing the Progressive enrolment" "

country of Ireland and came to this
country at least in the early forties,
his naturalization papers having been
taken out at Elmira, N. Y, in 1s4s.
His sobriquet Of Johnnie Behind-the

pile of rock.
Next he built q dugout and later a
little shack, but reverted to the dug
out, where he lived in the utmost
squalor.
The last weeks Of Johnnies life were
spent in the hospital. where in ali

WIFE DENIED DIVORCE.
Former Newsstand Girl Nan Corrigan Not Yet Freed From Frank Bates Married in DanieIson.

Nan Corrigan Bates, former news stand girl at the Vanderbilt hotel in New York, has been denied a divorce from Frank Bates, the AttlebOro mill lionaire. Mrs. Bates sued for di- vorce on the grounds that her hus- band was incorporate and cruel but this was not demonstrated to the sat- isfaction of the judge who heard the case in New Bedford a few days ago. After taking the evidence under con sideraticn for a few days the judge has refused to grant a decree.
 The beautiful Nan Corrigan and the wealthy and fashionable Mir. Bates were married in Danielson nearly three years ago, Judge A. G. Bill per- forming the ceremony in his office in the Dester building one night in June of 1913. On the day of their wedding they had slipped away from New York, where their romance had attracted the attention of the big metropolitan dailies, and the news stories printed were to the effect that the couple were en route for some Massachusetts point to take out a license and be married. Correspondents throughout that state were asked to be on the lookout for them that the story might be prompt ly given to the host of New Workers who were following the rather remark Nan Corrigan, by one of the wealth. jest young men of New England.
 Eluding all who sought to follow them, Miss Corrigan, MT. Bates. their two witnesses and a chauffeur, arriv- ed here early in the evening in a big touring car. In those days getting a marriage license was proceeding that could be promptly managed by non residents, the present law requir- ing the giving of five days notice of intent to marry not having become effective so no difficulties of procedure were encountered here and the couple went away as man and wife to enter upon a welded career that evidently hasn't measured up well with the standard of love that might have been
