"There are, broadly, three questions t.

Judge, you will remember that,
when took up the case, the first
thing set myself to look for is what

ed that Mrs. Allen was murdered only
a few minutes before the alcohol was
set afire on her bed. DR.. Haldane
Clemenson, Chicago wife murderer,
now acting as prison physician, de-
clared the indications of rigor mortis,
which first led him to say Mrs. Allen
had been dead six hours before the
body was found, might have been
caused by the cold water from the
fire hose showering the heated body
and death might have come only
short time before.
Intense feeling against Chicken

crime, still exists among the convicts,
but true to their pledge that they
would not attempt any violence no
threats are being made against the
suspects. Armed guards, however,
are still on watch for any demonstra-

MEMS ARBITRATION is
POSTPONED AGAIN
CAR

Because States Atty Maclay
Hoyne was not able to get here from
Williamstown, Mass, in time, the first
arbitration meeting between street
car men and the company has again
been postponed. 1t is now set for
Friday, II a. M, in the mayors office.
The fact that the carpenters are
voting 10 to 1 against giving their
president and representative on the
arbitration board, Jas. Kirby, unIim-
tied arbitrative power is not a snub
for Kirby.
The men are attacking principle,
not Kirby. Kirby has full confidence
of the men. In fact, it was he who
pointed out that the arbitration as
planned could not be thorough or
fair.
The boycott against union car
penteTs on strike went into effect to-
day. The intent is to keep independ-
ent contractors from securing any
more building material.
Independent contractors have all
signed the agreement desired by the
carpenters and are paying the 70
scents an hour demanded. Most of
them are working on good jobs.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-24

The contractors who are members
of the Carpenter Contractors assn
are losing big money for they cannot
continue present contracts. The
only way out for them is to sign the
agreement the carpenters want or
else throw the Independent con-
tractors out of work by shutting off
material
The boycott is not going to prove
alright. Already some building sup
ply dealers have announced that they
do not intend to join any boycott
move against the Independent con-
tractors, but will continue to sell to
whoever wants to buy. 1t is believed
this will nullify the effect of the boy
colt.

TESTIMONY OF THAW'S MOTHER
MAY PREVENT ACQUITTAL

New York, June 24-Sensational
revelations about the alleged plot to
kidnap Harry K. Thaw, by New York
state officials, headed by William
Travers Jerome, when the slayer of
Stanford White was a fugitive in Ca
NADIA, were promised by John B.
Stanchfeld at the Thaw sanity trial
today.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw may be
unwillingly a factor in keeping her
son from regaining his liberty.
Deputy Atty Gen. Cook announced
today that he would read to the jury
the testimony of Mrs. Thaw, given at
the second trial, in which she admit
ted that Thaw and his family before
them had suffered from mental disor-
ders. Cook plans to use this testi-
mony as a boomerang, showing that
Thaw is affected by hereditary in
sanity.

POLAND SUFFERING
WORSE THAN BELGIUM
County Laid Waste, and Refugees Liv-
ing in Filth Are Dependent on
Charity for Sustenance.

Every bit of testimony-that seen with
ones own eyes and that heard on credible
authority-bears out the impression that
conditions in war-ridden Poland are such
as to arouse the world and to incite every
form of relief that Is possible.
In the catalogue of distress occasioned
by the war, Poland has a prominent-per-
haps the most prominent-place There
can be no question that at present condi-
tions in Poland are worse than they are in
Belgium and northern France.
Great stretches Of country simply have
been laid waste. Everything has been
taken or destroyed. Both the opposing
armies have had their share in this. The
people have been the sufferers.
To give even an approximate estimate
of the number of non-combatants who,
for one reason or another, have persisted
in Poland since the beginning of the war,
would be an impossibility. The number
must be very large. In many country
district fight to any point of safety has
been out of the question, this being due to
lack of time, to poverty, to fright, to the
fact that animals which might take peo-
pie away had been appropriated
w NereNeH II cOuI0 De uOne, refugees
flocked to the towns and cities, the great
majority of them panic-stricken people
arriving without money and with pitifully
few other possessions. There are tens OF
thousands of such refugees in Warsaw
huddled in small and filthy rooms, dis
eased and depending upon charity for Their
| daily sustenance.
| What is true of Warsaw is true in vary
ling degrees of several other places Eff
forts, of course, have been made to trans
port some of these people to localities
where they may be properly cared for
But any progress in this direction is slow
necessarily slow, in view of circum
stances in Russia.
The mortality among the children of tn,
| refugees has been and continues to be yer,
great In room after room visited recent
i ly at Warsaw, one or more dead children
were to be seen There are instances O
heart-breaking grief over loss, but a grea
many of the people, as was the case il
Belgium, seem apathetic. No doubt the,
have passed through so much that the,
are dulled.
Russia, in view of other demands, is do

Polish relief Certainly, throughout Rus

DRIVEN FROM THEIR
HOME IN MEXICO
Judge T. B. Pier Receives Letter from
Relatives-Other Letters Sent, but
Were Not Received

F. B. Pier has lately received a let
ter from his sister, Mrs. J. S. Roberts,
who makes her home with the family
of daughter, Mrs. E. S. Dunn, in Ell
Coco, Mexico. This family, with sew
eral Others from the United States,
bought lands in Mexico several years
ago, making their homes there and TAX
ing up extensively the business of
ranching, with Tampieo as their mar
ket town.
At the time in 1913, that the United
States government transported its
citizens out of Mexico for their safety,
Mrs. Roberts went to Texas, Mrs.
Dunn and two sons to friends in Kan
sas, while Mr.. Dunn and one son re-
NAMED at the ranch. The place was
several times visited by soldiers of the
different armies, who at one visit con
sficated firearms and saddles, and on
another occasion drove away many
horses and mules from the neighbor-
hood.
In April of last year, Mr.. Dunn and
such of his neighbors as had remained
in their homes were driven into the
Jungle, where they camped three weeks,
enduring almost intolerable heat and
discomfort.
In the autumn of last year, matters
in Mexico having become somewhat
more quiet, Mrs. Roberts and Mrs
Dunn returned to their home, and a
letter written from Ell Coco reached
Judge Pier in October. He had had
none from his sister since that time
received here, although in it Mrs Rob
erts saws she has sent out a letter tC
friends at every opportunity that of
fered a chance of getting one through
Mrs Roberts writes in part: FWe
have had no mail since in November

BARNES DENIED
DEAL WITH MURPHY
Claimed He Never Met Tammany Boss
But Once-Did Not Try to In
fiuence Legislators.

SYRACUSE, May Is. = William
Barnes spent two hours under vigorous
cross Examination in the supreme
court here yesterday afternoon in his
suit for libel against Theodore Roose
velt.
He was questioned about his meet
ings with the colonel while the latter
was governor of New York; about edi-
torials that appeared in the Albany
Evening Journal; about his activities
in the legislative deadlock over the
selection of United States senator to
succeed Chauncey M. Depew and about
his interest in the printing business in
Albany.
He told how he happened to discuss
political organization with Col. Roose-
welt and of listening while the col
onel talked about many things, in
Guiding Senator Plat and appoint
ments. Mr.. Barnes will resume the
stand Monday for further questioning
at the hands of counsel for the de-
| PENDANT.
The former chairman of the Repub-
ican state committee concluded his
direct examination in the forenoon bv
defending his organization policies,
denying the truth of further portions
of the testimony of the defendant ana
his witness, Loyal ". France of Brook
| Ign, and in contradieting William Loeb
He denied that he told Mr.. France
he could vote the riff-raff' of the
Democratic party in the Republican
primaries and so disgust the voters that
they would demand a repeal of the
law
He swore he did not meet Mr.. Loci
in New York in the deadlock of 1911
and tell him that he could do nothing
at that time to end it. lie swore he
never met or saw Mr.. Murphy but once
in his life.
Many of the questions he answered
on direct examination were designed
his counsel said, to indicate, the "'dom
nance of the defendant in the Repub
lean party
Mr.. Barnes emphatieally denied tina
he ever tried to influence the votes O.
Legislators. He did say he was sub
: jeeted to constant solicitation on til,
i senatorial question, however.
4 Mr.. Barnes was asked If he recalled
writing a letter to Mr.. Roosevelt say
ing the establishment of state print
ling house would hurt him financially
He replied in the affirmative, and sal,
! it would do so because state print
ling house would have been detrimental
to the business of the Journal CON
pany, as well as TO every other print
: ing house in Albany.
