THAW STILL INSANE Will Not Be Released From Asy Ilum at Present, COURT RENDERS DECISION Finds No Change in Condition of Stan- ford White's Slayer Since He Was Acquitted of Murder Charge on the Ground of Insanity. Poughkeepsie, N. Y. May 26— Harry K. Thaw, the slayer of Stan- ford White, will not be released from the lunatic asylum. This is the de- cision reached by Justice Morschauser of the supreme court in an opinion filed in the matter of Thaw's applica- tion for release on a writ of habeas corpus. Both points brought up by Thaw’s attorneys are decided against him. The justice declares that Thaw is now insane and should not be allowed at large and he further declares that the commitment to the lunatic asylum by Justice Dowling after the last trial of the case was entirely legal. Thaw’s lawyers have applied to the court for permissicn to place Thaw in some other institution than {he Mat- teawan asylum and by stipulation with the district altorney the prisoner will be kept in the jail here until Jus- tice Morschauser renders a decizion The justice is kolding court at White Plains thts week and will not be able to hear the applicaticn before next week. Believes Thaw Still Insane. In his decision Justice Morschauser says, in part: “Thaw, at the time of his trial for homlcide, as a defense pleaded insan- ity and presented proof to show his in- sanity at the time of the killing of ‘White and by the proof offered on his behalf the jury was convinced that he was insane and acquitted him upon that ground. “I am satisfied from the evidence adduced before n:e that the mental condition of Harry K. Thaw has not changed and I find that he is now in- sane and that it is so manifest as to make it unsafe for him to be at large. “In view of the existing mental con- ditlon of said Thaw the safety of the public ig better insured by his remain- ing in custody and under observation until he has recovered or until such time as it shall be reasonably certain that there fs no danger of a recurring attack of the delusion or whatever it may be.” - Thaw Discusses the Decision. After James G. Graham, his attor- ney, had shown him a copy of Judge Morschauser’s opinion Harry K. Thaw gave the reporters an interview and talked volubly about his case. He talked unreservedly on everything ex- cept his wife and when her suit for annulment of their marriage was men- tioned he stood up and indicated that the interview was at an end. His chief theme was the newspaper reports of the evidence on his trial. Much testimony favorable to him, he asserted, was not published, probably because it did not appear to the re- porters interesting, while undue prom- Inence was given District Attorney Jerome'’s cross-examination of Thaw’s experts, because Jerome knew how to make it interesting. He said: “Take, for instance, Dr. Jacoby. His direct testimony was conclusive, but not interesting; his cross-examination under Mr. Jerome was interesting and the newspapers printed it. Probably I should have done the same as the reporters in the same position.” PARISHIONER STABS PRIEST Latter Seriously Wounded Just After Leaving Altar. Salisbury, Mo., May 26. — Rev. Father Joseph §S. Lubeley was at- tacked and stabbed twice by Joseph Schuette, a wealthy parishioner, just after leaving the altar of St. Joseph's church here. Once the blade entered the priest’s temple and the second time his throat, just missing the jug- ular vein. He was rushed to a hos- pital at St. Louis, where it 18 sald he will probably recover. The clergyman was attacked just as he left the altar and was standing in the church door in full view of about 400 worshippers, one of whom, a wo- man, he was speaking with. Schuette rushed upon him before any one .divined his purpose and it was not until the horrified parishioners saw their pastor reeling and fall that they realized what was transpiring before their eyes. A dozen men grappled with Schuette and he was quickly pinioned to the ground. He struggled desperately, shouting and snarling, but was finally overpowered and taken to jail. He is belteved to be insane. Mrs. Vanderbilt Gets Divorce. New York, May 26.—An interlocu- tory decree of absolute divorce was granted to Mrs. Elsie French Vander- bilt from Alfred G.

HUNDREDS HOMELESS Serious Floods Prevail in Texas and Oklahoma, CONSIDERABLE LOSS OF LIFE Half a Dozen Men Drowned by Col- lause of Railroad Bridge at Dallas and as Many Others Perish at Fort Worth. Dallas, Tex., May 26—One man drowned in sight of many people who were powerless to save him, fifty fam- les marooned in a submerged section of the city, the electric power house engine rooms under water, street cars out of commission, two bridges de- istrayed and hundreds of people home- fless in the suburbs are a few of the results of a flood which followed a sudden and terrific rise in the Trinity rives. A section of the Texas and Pacific sallway bridge went down at noon. 'Fifteen men were thrown into the river, six being drowned. The village of West Dallas, across the Trinity river, is partially inun- dated and hundreds of families were forced to seek higher places. The Commerce street bridge spanning Trinity river was partially washed away and there is no travel between the city proper and suburbs on the wéat bank of the stream. BStreet car bridges are under water and trafiic over these lines has been suspended. Trafic on the interurban line be- tween this city and Fort Worth has been discontinued. A section of the Texas and Pacific railway bridge has been washed away and service to the West has been abandoned. In the city proper there is likely to be much distress, as the water and light companies have been closed down, their plants having been flooded. A section of the Banta Fe railroad bridge has gone down and traffic over this line has been temporarily discon- tinued. RAILROADS KNOCKED OUT 8erious Flood Conditions Prevail in Oklahoma. EE KRR R R kR LR # Oklahoma City, Okla,, May 26. * < —Five persons are known to <« have lost their lives in the floods + 4 in Oklahoma. Several others 4 narrowly escaped drowning and + < three are kmown to have been % seriously injured. < LR R R R R Guthrie, Okla.,, May 26.—Flood con- ditions in Oklahoma are still serious. Notwithstanding there were no further heavy rains in the state all the prin- cipal streams continued to rise slowly, spreading out and covering additional territory. No additional loss of life has been reported, but several points are sthl isolated and full details are lacking. Rallroads over the entire state are practically out of commis- sion. While hundreds of persons have abandoned their homes in the bottoms and are camped on the hills no real distress has been reported. All the principal streams are out of thelr banks at some points along their length. The towns that have suffered the greatest damage and inconveni- ence are West Guthrie, Tulsa, Jenks, small town near Tulsa; Muskogee, bawnee and Sapulpa. West Guthrie, DArts of Tiilsa, Jenks and Sapulpa are inundated and Shawnee is surrounded by water and isolated save for tele- graph!c and telephone communication. Muskogee has suffered considerable damage to outlying property and its ges plant was flooded and closed down. Much low land in other parts of the state is under water. SEVEN DEAD AT FORT WORTH Thousands of People Rendered Home- less by Flood.. Fort Worth, Tex., May 26.—Seven people are known to be dead and §,000 are homeless as a result of the grobtest rise in the history of the Trinlty river. Following the torrential rains of Saturday and Sunday, a volume of soven inches, the river went three inches above the record-breaking flood of 1889, Btook valued at many thousands of dollars, including 2,600 sheep penned up in the stock yards in North Fort ‘Worth, was washed down stream and destroyed. The property loss cannot be estimated as yet. The paralysis of railroad service is almost total. The Interurban has dis- continued service between Fort Worth and Dallas. The Rock Island made no attempt to operate trains; neither did the Fort Worth and Denver. The Friscc detoured. In fact not a road escaped more or less damage. Rowboats from Handley, White City and Lake Coamo, hauled to the scene of overflows on street cars, wa- gons and in patrol wagons, figured prominently in the work of the rescue. Brazos River Highest on Record. ‘Waco, Tex., May 26.—The Brazos river is higher here by two feet than ever known. Thousands of acres of land have been overflowed and the damage to crops is heavy. People liv- ing in the Jowlands have been driven from their homes. Five inches of rain fell in ten hours. Railroads have been washed out badly.

London, May 26 —King Edward, the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family, including the Duke of Connaught, Sir Edward’ Grey, Premier Asquith and Home Secretary Gladstone, welcomed M. Fallieres, the president of France, when he arrived at the Victoria station to return the visits which King Edward and other members of the British royal family have pald to the head of t1ie Fronch republic in Paris. The statlon, which was closed to the general public, had been convert- ed into a huge conservatory. As the special train bringing M. Fallieres PRESIDENT FALLIERES. and the members of his party from Dover arrived at the station the king, the Prince of Wales and all the army officers present stood at salute. His majesty was the first to greet the French president, welcoming him like an old friend. After the usual introductions and the inspection of the guard of honor a procession of state carriages, with postillions, was formed and proceeded to York House, that portion of St. James palace where M. Fallieres will reside during his stay in London. Dover, Eng., May 26.—The French cruiser Leon Gambetta, with President Fallieres and the members of his party on board, has arrived here from Boulogne. The presidential visitors were given an enthusiastic naval wel- come from the assembled British ships of war under the command of Lord Charles Beresford. GOULD-DE SAGAN WEDDING Marriage Will Take Place in About a Fortnight. ~ Paris, May 26.—M. Cachard, attor- ney for Madame Anna Gould, who is at present engaged in preparing the contract for Madame Gould’s marriage to Prince Helie de Sagan, authorizes the Associated Press to deny abso- lutely the story that the couple were secretly married at Hoboken, N. J., on the eve of their departure from America last month. As -already stated in these dispatches the Gould family’s opposition to the marriage has been withdrawn. The banns will be published next Sunday and the marriage will take place a fortnight later, the French law requiring that the banns be published ten days in advance of the wedding. There will be both civil and relig- fous ceremonies, the latter under the Protestant rite. The couple will be married under what is known in France as the “separation of property regime,” each party to remain in abso- lute control of his or her own fortune, which in the event of death shall not pass to the survivor, but to the heirs of the deceased. After the marriage the couple will reside in France, the idea of selling Madame Gould’s mag- nificent mansion on the Avenue Mala- koff and her country seat, the Chateau Marais, and living abroad, which was contemplated, having been abandoned. Count Boni de Castellane, the di- vorced husband of Madame Gould, is prepared the moment the panns are published to bring suit to transfer the custody of the Castellane children to himself, on the ground that Prince de Sagan is not fit to be their stepfather. The count, however, evidently is not yet apprised of the exact situation, as he imagines that Madame Gould is still hesitating with regard to the mar- riage. He counts upon the continued opposition of George Gould, who, he says, is expected in Paris within a fortnight. West Indian Liner Ashore. Long Branch, N. J., May 26.—The Clyde line steamer Seminole, bound for New York from San Domingo City and West Indian ports, went aground off Pleasant point during a dense fog. She is lying in an easy position in about twelve fathoms of water, close up to the beach. The sea is calm and the steamer is believed to be in no present danger. Feared Hostility of Jews. Beattle, Wash., May 26.—The state Prohibition convention, which has Just closed here, yoted down a propo- sitfon to incorporate the words “We accept Jesus Christ as our leader” in the preamble of the state platform, Ministers and delegates stood solidly against it, saying it would arouse the ostility of the Jews and others who differ in religion. The platform op- poses local option as a' compromise scheme. Decisive Cut in Wages. Fall River, Mass., May 26.—The new wage agreement beiween the cotton manufacturers and the textile council, which will be in force until next No- Yember, has beceme effective.

AFTER SPIRITED FIGHT Mefhodist Conference on Record for Local Option. NEW POSITION FOR CHURCH Has Heretofore 8tood Out Squarely for Absolute Prohibition—Rev. Dr. Quayle of Chicago Elected Bishop on Tenth Ballot. Baltimore, May 26.—The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at a prolonged session put it- self on record as endorsing unquali- fledly the work of the Antl-Saloon league and also favoring local option: Both of these positions are new with the church, as up to this time no spe- clal organization has had the specific endorsement of the church, while it has stood on the other hand for abso- lute prohibition everywhere. This result was attained only after one of the stormiest .meetings yet held, during which the opponents of the majority report called to their aid all manner of parliamentary tactics in their efforts to defeat it. It was con- tended by the minority adherents that it was wrong for the general confer- ence to endorse any particular organ- ization and also that it was a distinct violation of the standard of the church to come out in favor of local option. The majority supporters maintained that the Anti-Saloon league was worthy of this recognition, declaring that it is the organization that is do- ing the work for temperance at the present time, fusing as it does all other societies and efforts into one. They upheld local option on the ground that it was to be used toward statewide prohibition. When the final vote was taken but nineteen out of the entire body of upwards of 750 del- egates registered in favor of the mi- nority report. DR. QUAYLE ELECTED. Chosen Bishop by Methodists on Tenth Ballot. Baltimore, May 26.—Rev. Dr. Will- fam A. Quayle, pastor of St. James’ church, Chicago, and a lecturer and author of wide repute, was elected bishop on the tenth ballot at the gen- eral conference of the Methodist Bpis- copal church, thus breaking the dead- lock which has existed since the sec- ond ballot. The vote resulted as fol- lows: Total, 734; necessary to a choice, 488; Rev. Dr. Willilam A. Quayle, Chicago, 519; Wilson S. Levwis, Sioux City, Ia., 483; Homer C. Stuntz, Madison, N. J., 458; Charles W. Smith, Pittsburg, 444; Robert McIntyre, Los Angeles, 389; Edwin H. Hughes, Greencastle, Ind., 367; David G. Dow- ney, New York, 317; Joseph B.

Seven True Bills Also Returned Against Ray Lamphere. Laporte, Ind, May 2,—In return- ing seven true bills against Ray Lam- phere the Laporte county grand jury also indicted Mrs. Bella Gunness for the murder of Andrew Helgelein of Mansfield, 8. D. No warrant was issued for Mrs. Gunness, as she was declared officially dead by the verdict of Coroner Mack, but in order to vote a true bill against Lamphere as an accessory in the kill- ing of Helgeleln it was necessary to indict Mrs. Gunness as the principal. Separate bills were voted against Lamphere for the murder in the first degree of Mrs. Bella Gunness and her three children, Philip Gunness, Myrtle Sorenson and Lucy Sorenson, In charging Lamphere with the mur- der of Andrew Helgelein the indict- ment says that “Ray Lamphere on Jan. 14, 1908, did unlawfully, feloni- ously, purposely and with premedi- tated malice kill and murder Andrew K. Helgelein.” Lamphere ‘was mnot arraigned and this will probably not be done until the cases are set for trial. Bench warrants have been served upon Lam- phere in jail. He expressed but slight surprise, as the returning of the in- dictments had been anticipated. Prose- cutor Smith said that it would be im- possible to reach the Lamphere cases until June. SOME FACTS HELD BACK. Offci s Positive Hortonville (Wis.) Widow Was Murdered. Appleton, Wis., May 2t.—“I am more firmly convinced than ever that Mrs. Shaw was murdered, but the new de- velopments in the case I will not be able to give out until the inquest is held at Hortonville,” said District At- torney Rooney. The sheriff’s office announces that the district attorney has a card up his sleeve that will surprise every one at the inquest and it is intimated that some one whose name thus far has not been connected with the mystery will be brought into the case. * The. finding of but little water in Mrs. Shaw’s lungs and the absence of water in the stomach, as revealed in the postmortem examination, is de- ciarea Dy TNE AUTNOrIUes aS Aimos§ positive proof that the handsome young woman of Hortonville was knocked ‘unconscious before the body was thrown into the millpond, but ‘whether Charles Abrams, who is in Jall here, or some unknown person is guilty of this will not be determined until the inquest is held. INJUNCTION IS SOUGHT. Strikers Ordered to Show Cause Why It Should Not Be Issued. Des Moines, Ta., May 2 .—Judge Mc- Pherson in the United States court here issued a citation ordering strik- ers on the Iowa Central road at Mar- shalltown to appear before him to show cause why an injunction should not be issued to restrain them from interfering with the employes who took their places after they had gone on strike. Application was made for an imme- diate injunction, but this was denied. The strike at Marshalltown occurred several weeks ago and since that time it is alleged the strikers have been terrorizing_the nonunion men. FAVORED FOR PASSAGE. House Committee Acts on Currency Commission Resolution. Washington, May 2 .—The house committee on banking and currency voted by a substantial majority to rec- ommend thé passagé of the Aldrich Joint resolution creating a currency commission which passed the senate Thursday. During the consideration of the resolution in committee amend- ments were suggested increasing the size of the commission beyond the eighteen members stipulated. These amendments* were voted down on the ground that to make any change in the resolution as it came from the senate would provoke a conference and this it was desired to avoid. Two Ballots Without Result. Baltimore, May 2 .—The results of two ballots for bishops were an- nounced at the general conference of the Methodist IEpiscopal church. Neither ballot produced an election, but they disclosed significant changes in the positions of the leaders, the chief feature of which was the drop of Rev. Charles L. Goodell, pastor of Calvary Methodist Episcopal church, New York city, from the fifth to the tenth position, with a loss of 153 votes from the last preceding ballot. Seek Market for Irish Geods.
