WILL ASK THAT THAW'S
BAIL BE MADE HIGH
Probably $4,000 If He Is Released on
Bail with Appeal Pending.

New York, July 15-Harry K. Thaw
slept tonight in Ludlow street Jail, for
the last time perhaps in his life, as
a prisoner. Tomorrow morning he is
to know whether the future holds for
him Matteawan or freedom. Supreme
Court Justice Hendrick will then an
nounce his decision on the motion
made today, to have the order COM
mitting Thaw to Matteawan in 1908
formally vacated.
Legal formalities today were brief.
They consisted in Thaw's appearance
before Justice Hendrick and the for
NAL motion of John B. Stanchfeld,
chief of the Thaw lawyers, that the
writ be vacated. Decision on the mo-
ton was reserved, in conformity with
Justice Hendricks announcement of
yesterday. until tomorrow.
If the decision is in Thaw's favor
the state will appeal, according to
Deputy Attorney General Cook. There
would then come before the court the
matter of bail for Thaw until the APP
peal should be decided. The state has
signif1ed that it would oppose Thaw's
release on bail, but that If It should
lose this point, it would ask that the
bond be made high, $4,000, or there
aIbouts. Justice Hendrick today in
dicated that he would probably accept
bail and in that event, he said, Thaw
would be free to- go where he willed,
to Europe, the San Francisco fair or
anywhere else.

STUDIES MEMORANDA
FROM SECRETARY LANSING.
President Wilson Beginning to Outline
Our Answer to Germany.

Cornish. N. H, July 15.-With addi-
tional memoranda from Secretary
Lansing before him, President Wilson
today began to outline definitely the
position he believes the United States
must assume as a result of the last
note from Germany on submarine war
fare. Just how drastic this position
would be could not be learned here.
The president has about finished his
preliminary study of the German sit
uation and is almost ready for the con-
ferenceS with Secretary Lansing and
members of his cabinet which will be
begun Ilext week. 1t was said tonight
that he would be in Washington in
time for the regular cabinet meeting
Tuesday.
No arrangements, have been made, 1t
tween the president and Mr.. Lansing
prior tu the meeting, but it is believed
they will confer shortly after Mr..
Wilson's return to Washington. Sec
retary Lansing is already sufficiently
familiar with the position OF the presi-
dent to say whatever he believes adj
visable to the German ambassador who
has asked for an interview.
1t could not be learned here tonight
Lansing any instructions in that re-
spect.
Mr.. Wilson refused to comment on
the reported receipt by the American
COVER Ement OF a note from Austria
Hungary protesting against large ex-
ports of munitions Of war to the allies,
but the impression was gained that he
had been informed Of the note.

Iron Workers ResoIute.
As far as the iron workers are con-
cerned, their action is irrevocabIe and
they will remain out until settle
ment is made or arbitration resorted
to.
The statement was made tonight
that unless some method is seized upon
whereby they may go back to work as

CONFIRMATION was received tonight

this report, two lines of Turkish
trenches were captured, together with
four hundred prisoners. The Turks
on the other hand, claim to have re-
pulsed the allies attacks.
As anticipated, progress against the
Turks is very slow, owing to the ma
tural and strongly fortified positions
which they hold. But British military
authorities express satisfaction with
the gain of an occasional line of
trenches, relying on breaking the NOR
ale of the Turks and on the exhaustion
of their supply of ammunition. Ger

GERMAN AMBASSADOR
WILL SEE LANSING.
German Reply Intended to Pave Way
For General Discussion Of Sub
marine Warfare.

Washington, July 15.-Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
will present to Secretary Lansing to-
morrow the view that Germany's reply
to the American note on submarine
warfare was intended to pave the way
for negotiations on the part Of the
United States with Great Britain as
well as Germany to adjust questions
that have arisen over contraband and
submarine as affecting the rights Of
neutrals.
The German ambassador for several
days has been anxious to see Secre-
tary Lansing, but the latter expressed
a preference not to discuss the Ger
man reply until he had examined It
carefully. Today Mr.. Lansing met the
ambassador casually at a club and set
tomorrow a sthe date for the confer
ence.
Count Won Bernstorff is confident
that his government emphasized in the
last note its willingness to work hand
in hand with the American govern
ment for the establishment Of the
freedom of the seas principle for the
express purpose of entering into ne
gotiaIons now on the entire question
Of maritime warfare. He Sent the
suggestion through DR.. Anton Meyer
Gerhard that the note should contain
such an intimation- Having followed
his suggestions, the ambassador is
sure his government will accept a ten
der Of good offices for the meditation
Of the dispute. This would involve an
acceptance by Great Britain Of the
services of the United States as media
tor to bring about the termination OF
the British reprisal-the Order-fn-
Council-as we'll as Germanys sub
marine attacks upon merchantmen.
Ohicials of the American govern
ment in the last few days have heard
the reports concerning possible med
iatfon of the question. but have al
ways indicated that negotiations along
such lines could be begun only II there
were assurances that in the mean
time German submarine commanders
would be guided by the principles for
which the United States Is contending
