AFTER CELEBRATING FORTY EIGHT MINUTES, JURY SAYS THAW SANE

New York, July 15.-Harry Ken dall Thaw yesterday was declared sane by a jury which for nearly three weeks had listened to testi- mony given in the supreme court here before Justice Peter Hendrick. Forty-eight minutes were consumed and two ballots were taken in reaching a verdict.
 Justice Hendrick on Friday morning will announce whether the commitment upon which Thaw was incarcerated in the state hospital for the criminal insane at Mat teawan shall be vacated, thereby giving to the slayer of Stanford White the liberty for which he has fought in the courts for nine years.
 It was at the end of day of addresses by counsel and the charge of the justice that the jury retired. While the 12 men were deliberating the crowd in the court room and about the court house was augmented by scores of people, who believed that verdict quickly would be found.
 Shortly before 4 o'clock bailiff came from the jury room and in formed Justice Hendrick that a a< koA rnonhod ThQ doors immediately were locked and Justice Hendrick, ascending the bench, warned the spectators that any demonstration would be met with severe punishment. Then the jury came in. In reply to a ques- tion by the clerk of the court as to whether a verdict had been reached the foreman handed over sheet of legal paper, which was passed to the justice on the bench. Justice Hendrick read it and handed it back to the clerk.
 THAW KISSES MOTHER.
 Gentlemen of the jury" said the clerk, "the question you have been asked is this: Is Harry K. Thaw now sane Your answer is yes''
 Despite the warning several per sons stood up in front of their seats. The court room hummed like a dynamo. Justice Hendrick and a dozen court attendants. rapped for order.
 Meanwhile, Thaw, who until the verdict was announced, sat at the counsel table with his chin resting in "a handkerchief, had turned

around and grasped the hands of several of his counsel. Then he went to where his mother was sit ting few feet away, and. throw ing his arms about her neck, kiss ed her twice. Mrs. Thaw at the same time patted her daughter, Mrs. George L. Carnegie, on the shoul- der.
 The verdict. recorded. John B. Stanchfield chief counsel for Thaw, made a motion that the commit ment signed by Justice Downing, 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. Justice Hen drick asked Deputy Attorney Gen. eral Becker what he had to say to such motion. MT. Becker in re- ply requested time in which the osaSN hhiSht PiCPaiC oh Justice Hendrick reminded the lawyers that he had not given his decision. and that consequently it had not been finally decided which side might desire an appeal. He then set II o'clock this morning as the time when he would receive briefs and hear arguments in his chambers upon the motion to dis miss the commitment. The jury was discharged and then court ad- journed.
 JURY IS THANKED.
 AS soon as the jury was dis missed 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"
 One of the jurors asked her whether she had ever had any doubt of the result of this pro- ceeding- Mrs. Thaw smiled and re- piled in the negative. The jury and Thaw then filed into a room adjoining the court, where pho tographers were waiting. Thaw himself moved the benches and chairs around nthe room so that he and all the jurymen might get into the picture.
 It was with great difficulty that court attendants and deputy sher- ifs prevented scores of men and women from dashing up to Thaw

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
 SCORES ATTORNEY GENERAL
Head of States Legal Department Has Jug gled Public Funds and Checks Up Short Committee Says He is Guilty
 of Felony.

do with, he felt that he ought not to be criticised for that, because it showed, he thought, that he had not used any of the states mon- ey for his own personal benefit.
 It is shown that there is bal ance of S8,365.21 due on delin- quent franchise taxes, which it is the attorney generals duty to collect.
 Just why this amount has not been collected we are not Satisfac- torily advised by the attorney gen eral, and as it stands this amount is clear loss to the state, says the committee. Up to June 22 he had paid into the treasury inheritance tax amounting to $93.741.99, and from sand and gravel and other sources $42,0OO.15. A total of $11, ,431.02 has been paid special counsel.
 With reference to the excess of $2,236.06 the' committee says:
 ''The attorney general being un- able to tell what this fund should be credited to in the treasurer s office, he was unable to turn it over to the treasurer, and he in- formed us that he had placed it in the savings department of the Southern Trust Company to the ac count of W. L. Moose, attorney gen eral, marked public funds" where it is now drawing four per cent in- terest. We feel the attorney gen. eral deserves the severest criticism and condemnation for using the Southern Trust Company for a de- pository for public funds"
 The committee says:
 Such practice, it will certain ly appear from the statutes, is a violation of the criminal statutes oi the state; both on the part of the public official and the banking cor poration, and subjects them to a prison sentence of not less than five years in the penitentiary, However, it is not within our au- thority to interpret or enforce the criminal statutes of the state, but merely call your attention to the conditions as they are, and quote you the law bearing on these vio- lationS, leaving the publi etc de- mand of the proper authority such action as the law demands"
 The attorney general admits that he purchased and furnished the Iron Mountain s6.500 in state warrants to pay their taxes. It is charged that he could have saved the state S7,29S.46, allowed to spe- cial counsel for collecting the Cot ton Belt franchise tax

LiJtlc IlOCh, Juiy Ao-l uO ACPoA ' of the legislative investigating com- mittee on the office of the attor- ney general, w. L. Moose, filed with Gov. Hays yesterday, charges Ikhat Mr. Moose violated the state law making it unlawful for state official to have in his possession money belonging to the state and that other irregularities were found F4n his office. The report sum- |Aarizes the charges as follows: That the attorney general has Ikept very inadequate records of )Money received and paid into the treasury.
 That he has used the Southern Trust Company of Little as sub- treasury or depository for most of the funds that have come into his possession and checked them out indiscriminately with bank checks in face of the statute against him depositing the money or the bank receiving it.
 That he has dealt in state war rants.
 That he has employed special counsel at a cost of more than ST.
 900, in one instance. when he could have done the work himself in less than seven hours and saved this amount to the tax payers.
 That while he was employing special counsel he was doing pr1- vate practice.
 That he failed to comply with the law in not itemizing his inher- itance tax collections in his bien-
 nial report.
 NOT BONDED OFFICE. Attention is called that while the attorney general is not bonded
 officer, he collects from $75,OO0 to $100,000 annually, and instead of
 remitting this direct to the treas ury, as he is commanded by law to
 do, it has been his custom to de- poslt the greater portion of these collections in the Southern Trust Company, and keep it there for many, many months, dribbling into the treasury what he has not checked to other sources on various and sundry personal checks. The greater portion of this mon- ey is collected in inheritance and frar chise tax. Keeping no record of the money when he receives it, or the names of the individuals by whom it is paid, and waiting too long to pay it into the treasury, the result is that he forgets the
 nanes of many of the estates from
 which he has collected inheritance
 taxes and our accountants found in their efforts to balance his ac- counts that he had $2,236.06 in the Southern Trust Company more
 than he could account for. When this fact was discovered, the attor- ney general came to this commit tee and suggested that as he had more money than he knew what to

MYSTERY IN JUDGES AFFAIRS

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE hearing of
the petition for a conservator OF the
estate of Arba N. Waterman, former
Judge of the circuit court, is set for
today in the probate court, and the
mystery of the judges seclusion in a
sanitarium in Massachusetts will be
cleared up.
Mrs. Rosalie b. Griswold, relative
of Judge Waterman's deceased wife,
charged in bill filed last July that
the 79-year-old jurist was under "un-
due influence" exercised by Carleton
Hudson, an associate. The Judge
failed to appear in court and 1t was
later learned that he was in sani-
tarium at Stoneham, Mass. A report
er who called at the sanitarium was
told by the manager that no one was
to see the judge, because of the Or
ders of Carleton Hudson; that no
messages were to be taken to him,
and all inquiries were to remain un-
answered.
Hudson has stated that as an old
friend and former partner of Judge
Waterman, he is looking after his in
terests.

ONLY ONE ISSUE
New York WORLDLY

New York Worldly
Mr.. Taft is mistaken whea he says
ahat the tariff will be the main issue
in 1916.
The main issue In that campaign
has already been defined by Presi-

first."
Until that question is definitely set
tied, no other issue Is important
This country must determine once
and for all whether in its national as
pirations, ideals and sympathies. it
Is to be all American Or half alien.
The German vote has forced this is-
sue, and the American vote will have
to decide It.
In the Twenty-third congressional
district of New York We have seen
the German voters combine against
a candidate for congress- for no other
reason than that he belonged to the
same political party as the president
Of the United States. In Brooklyn.
John Fitzgerald. one of the ablest
men in congress, was defeated for the
office of justice Of the supreme court
by German voters who secretly or
ganized against him to rebuke the
president for upholding International
law and American rights
Gei man newspapers. both In Ger

were, as the Berlin MOrgenpost ex-
presses it. IA heavy moral defeat for
the president" because of his refusal
TO make the United States vassal
of the German empire
The German conspiracy extends
not only to the president and his par
ty, but it extends to American indus
try, American finance and to the
fundamental institutions OF the Amer
lean people. This conspiracy works
not only through the ballot, but
through the torch and the bomb and
the bullet. 1t is ths most sinister
pf pfenomencn that has appeared in
American life since tho death of slav-
cry end secession, and until IL is dis
posed o. no man can be sure that the
great republic is more than "A hollow
shell
Mr.. Tr1t has given to the country a
Rp'endd and inspiring example OF
disintei ested patriotism In his sup
port OF the presidents foreign policy
since the beginning OF the war. 1t is
upon men like Mr.. Taft that the cOun'
try must depend If this new Copper
hendism Is finally crushed aud tram
plel under the foot of true American
ism. But until this is done, how triv'
ial are al the issues upon which this
generation OF Americas voters have
hitherto been accustomed TO divide!
