.THAW URGES He
BE LET ALONE
Slayer of Stanford White Re-
fuses to Talk of Future Plans
After Seeing Mother.

PITTSBURGH. Pa. July 90
Strange as it may seem Harry h.
Thaw wants to be let alone" Today
when pressed for some definite state
ment as to his future plans, Thaw
said he had nothing to say
please do not bother me any
more" Thaw said. Il am just a Pitts
burgher now. l am going to stick to
mother for a while. That is all l
can tell YOU" He would say no more.
Now that I've got it, what am 1
going TO do with it?" reemed best to-
day to express the attitude Of Harry
Thaw, back home again after nine
long years
If the slayer of Stanford White. en-
ioying the moment of liberty for
which his faithful gray-haired mother
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw. who has the
sympathy of all Pittsburgh had
fought by his side and spent. reports
say. more than a million dollars, has
any definite plans for his future he
has not made them known Tuesday.
Since his arrival at 6:25 Monday
night in East Liberty, a suburb, Thaw
has said nothing more about his pro
posed divorce from Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw and his projected automobile
tour to the San Francisco exposition.
ThaW has not seen newspaper men
or Pittsburgh people without his
mother being present and it was be-
lieved that Mrs. Thaw has put the lid
on" Harry's talkativeness and per
suaded him to be less lOquacious
about his personal affairs.
Thank God. mother, l am glad to
be home with you again" was Thaw' s
greeting to his mother when she met
him with outstretched hands on the
veranda of the BeechwOod blvd. resi-
dence which new home he had never
seen.
Words cannot express my Joy, my
dear boy in this moment for which /
have SO long waited replied the
mother.
At this a cheer went up and it ap-
peared that ThaW had been forgiven
by the public of his native city Mon
day there was an air of hostility to-
ward Thaw on the part of ympathiZ-
ers PittsburgheTs They criticized
Thaw severely for not coming imme-
diately after Justice Hendrick had
cleared him last Friday on the S35, 600
bail. They could not see the reason
for the automobile dash across New
Jersey and the days spent at Atlantic
City and Philadelphia They there
fore were disposed TO be cool TO Thaw
but his affectiOnate greeting to his
mother and her apparent acceptance
of Thaw's DELAYED arrival as matter
of course Modified the crowd on the
lawn and they Immediately took this
slayer back into the good graces OF
Pittsburgh.
That is, he has been accepted by
the sort Of people who crowded the
station platform when he arrived and
lined BeechwOod blvd to cheer him.
But this is "the city of millionaires'
and none OF that set Tuesday had
made any move to welcome Thaw
bcak.

Conference of
Officials.
SESSION CONTINUES
TWO AND HALF HOURS
No Division of Opinion Regard
ing Policy Laid Down by
United States in
Reply.
WASHINGTO.

WASHINGTON. July 20.-The
American reply TO the German note
today was considered at a cabinet
meeting lasting two and a half hours.
The final draft of the note was laid
before the meeting by Pres't Wilson
and Sec'y Of State Lansing and
it is said a statement of the attitude
of the United States government will
be made later today.
That a reply to Germany has been
drafted and that the attitude of the
United States has been defined clear
Iy was indicated by various members
of the cabinet. although they would
say nothing definite on this point
There was no division of opinion
regarding the policy determined upon
by the president.
1t has seemed to many officials OF
the u. S. government that continual
delays through diplomatic cores
pondence can not benefit our govern
ment in the present situation.
Germany's counter proposals have
proved unacceptable 10 the United
states and the disposition of the
kaiser's government to argue the
merits and demerits Of the British
DlOckaQe and the submarine cam
paign in retaliation is regarded as
entirely apart of the issue raised
with the L. S. by the sinking of the
Lusitania.
Must See Point
Under these circumstances. il is be-
lieved the note Will inform Germany
that the United States stands firm
" by her former attitude regarding
the safety of her citizens while on the
seas. that she cannot recognize the
| British blockade or any other matter
as extenuating circumstance when
American lives are sacrificed and that
this government will not await Ger
many's recognition in action, if not
| in words, of the principles for which
] the United states stands.
= A note. so wOrded will be a dip
| lOnatic way of informing Germany
that no matter what she says on pa
per, this government expects her tC
act in accordance with internatiOna
| law and the position taken by Uncle
Same in his original communication
! touching the present serious cOntrOv-
ersy.
Sec'y Lansing conferred for ar
hour before the cabinet meeting witt
/ Pres't Wilson and it is understood
| presented TO the executive practically
a complete draft of the note to be sem
to Germany. This draft was read tC
| the cabinet.

president called off his regular Tues

PORTERS' PAY TOO
LITTLE, SAYS CHIEF
Lincoln Thinks Pullman Employees

WASHINGTON, May 4.--Robert
T. Lincoln, chairman of the board of

total assets last year were $iSs ssl7,26i,
In 1902 he said. the pay of Pullman
conductors was raised to $40 a month
for the first six months. Salaries of con.
ductors on special trains. he said, were
500 month. The average. he thought,
should be increased
do you think the salary of $3.50 now
paid negro porters as minimum is enough
to maintain his family in comfort and
decency?" asked Chairman Walsh.
Not Enough.
Absolutely not" Mr.. Lincoln replied
THAT question has annoyed me much in

The public, he said. rewarded services
for porters, for which they gave tips

company
Does the Pullman company requir,
porters to shine the passengers shoes ?
asked Chairman Walsh.

said Mr., Lincoln. II expect my shoes Il
be shined and also to tip the porter"
Chairman Walsh asked what he though
fair wage for Pullman conductors.
"As that matter is now under consider
