Belton Fair Busts. Tn Me Harry K. Thaw’s Trial For The Murder of Sanford White Soon to Begin. INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME IS INTENSE The Millionaire Murderer Will Plead the “Unwritten Law” as the Justification For His Deed—History of the Tragedy Anda Brief Sketch of the Lives of the Actors. New York, Nov. 26—The trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, slayer of Stan- furd White, the noted architect, which probably will take place during De- cember or January, is looked forward to as one of the most famous cases in the criminal history of New York state. The prominence of the Thaw fa.nily, the wealih of his parents, the cir:um- stances surrounding the young tiu's marriage to Evelyn Nesbit, the ar tists’ model and chorus girl ani ubh- spectacular scene in the mids. of which he fired the bullets into the breast of the man who he claime? had betrayed his wife, all tend to attract an interest to the trial exend'ng from che end of he country to the other, For a long time an @%fort hes *oou made to have young Taw rely upon a defense of “emotional insanity,” but he steadfastly has declined to give his assent to any such plan, and In his determination not to agree to hide behind a cloak of insanity the cause which he impatiently asserts to be Just, he has at one time and another since his imprisonment dismissed several of the lawyers engaged to help in his defense, among them a former Governor of the state of New York The players in this extraordinary tragedy of real life are each of them interesting. Harry Thaw, the ever wayward son of rich and indulgent parents, had become widely known throughout the country prior to the killing of Stanford White by reason of the publicity given to many of his escapades by the newspapers. Hie father, the late William Thaw, was ome of Pittsburg’s richest men. He had early seen that Harry was not to be entrusted with a large income lest he give himself over to a life of lux- urious idleness and liberty, So when the elder Thaw died he provided that Harry Thaw should have only $2,500 a year, The bulk of the estate went to Mrs. Willlam Thaw, whose indul- rent love-for her children was soon made apparent by the manner in which she lavished money upon them. Harry Thaw had but to ask whatever sum he chose and the mother gove it to him. He abandoned his $2,500 a year income from the estate to his valet. It is said that the young man’s ex- penditures often averaged as htgh as $80,000 and $100,000 a year. It was late in the evening of June 25 last that the city and soon the entire country was ringing with the tragic news that Harry Thaw had slain Stanford White, The setting of the fatal attack had been the Madison Square Roof Garden where the first night performance of a summer mus!- cal show known as “Mlle. Champagne” was given. The place was gay in flowers and multitudes of colored elec- trie light and was thronged with a fashionably dressed audience. On the stage a man was singing “I could leve a thousand girls” when sudden- ly above the music the pistol shots rang out. The music ceased, the chorus girls and actors upon the stage were terror-stricken, men and women in the audience dropped their_glasses upon the tables before them. In the stillness a man was heard to say. “You ruined my wife, d—— you, and now I’ve got you.” Stanford White lay dead at the table where he had been sitting; Harry Thaw, in evening dress, stood with a smoking pistol in his hand. His wife who had seen him fire the fatal shot was led screaming away from the spot and Thaw was arrested. He made no attempt to escape. ' Thaw has sought his justification in the words he uttered to his’ victim on the night of the tragedy. He has claimed that under the “unwritten Jaw,” no jury could convict: him ot ‘White ,many of them i! mén of the community, have declatéd that the architect's in the K. J.

THE BREWERY iNTERESTS ARE ALARMED Believe an Effort is Being Made to Saddle Constitutional Prohibition on the New State—Delegates From Indian Terri- tory Will Probably Decide the Question When it Comes to a Vote. Guthrie, Ok., Nov. 26—The Consti- tutional convention reconvened Mon- day afternoon aiier turee days recess, President Murray suvmitted his 46 committees. K. J. Curl of Bartlesville, chairman of the Liquor committee is a pronivitionist. His appointment cre- ates alarm among thvuse opposed to prohibition. It is believed an effort is being made to saddle constitutional prohibition on the new staie through the aid of indian territory delegates. Tae statehood enaviing act placed 21 years proulibition over the Indian ter ritory poiticn of tie state, At this daie it can not be deter mined how the delegates will stanc on the nia ter of the sale of liquor, Some of the Oxkla:.oma delegates -de- sire to have the liquor business reg- ulated with an iron hand. Still others wish to have the sale and man- ufacture abolished. From the Indian districts the sentiment has not yet crystallized. There are interests over there that are disposed (to say, “If we can't get it, we will not let you have it.” If that determination is of the bull dog kind, it is going to mean prohibition for Oklahoma. Meanwhile the enormous brewing and allied interests are not idle. Some time before the holidays there wil be the hottest kind of a fight with the anti-saloon league arrayed upon one side, and opposed to It, the mighty commercial interests seeking liberal laws. It is believed that that liquor committee is now made up, but its personnel is not yet public property. The prohibitionists opened their campaign here with Rev. BE. S, Chap- man, of Los Angeles, Cal., who deliv- ered two addresses. His theme was “The Czolgosz of the Mercantile {Vorld,” handling the liquor question from an economic standpoint, The labor organizations and the farmers are both maintaining organizations here, and are now earnestly working to the end that initiative and re ferendum may not be overlooked, but be given close attention in the early days of the convention. Even the democrats in the conven- tion are still showing the strained relations caused last Wednesday, when the old state rights proposition was forced upon the convention by the dominant southern wing of the party. Judge Ledbetter, of Ardmore, who led the fight for state rights, arose Monday to ask J. A, Baker, democrat, of Wewoka, a question, and addressed him as my friend Baker.” Quickly the latter retorted, “You mean Mr. Baker, of the 81st.” Friends of both men expected a per- sonal conflict, but the incident was hurriedly smoothed over by President Murray. Senator O. R. Fegan, of Guthrie, a member of several former Oklahoma legislatures, raised the point that by the adoption of the federal constitu- tion, into the Oklahoma constitution, as required by the enabling act, it compels the state of Oklahoma to adopt permanently the grand jury system, and the fifteenth amendment giving the negro the right of suffrage, This clause, Senator Fegan contends, will stand In the way of the constt- tutional convention taking any steps toward disfranchising the negro. Delay in Gooch Case. Springfield, Mo., Nov, 26.—The case against J. Hill Gooch, the alleged mob leader, under indictment charging murder in the first degree for his con- nection with the lynching here last spring of three negroes, was called in the criminal court Monday morning. Neither Attorney General Hadley nor any of his assistants were here to prosecute the case._It is believed that both the Gooch case and that against Daniel D. Galbraith, also an alleged member of the mob, will both be con- tinued till the March term of court. Had a Strenuous Voyage. New Yokr, Nov. 26.—For four days 1,500 immigrant passengers on the : steamer Florida, which arrived from Genoa and Naples, were kept below decks while the steamer pitched and rolled in a gale which at times assumed almost the propertions of @ hurricane.

You can see where your shoe money ought to go. Selz Royal Blue Shoe, the “Sole” of Honor. CHARGED WITH RAPE. John Woods, of Near Gunn City, Arrested and Placed in Jail. Caes Co.

They stopped at the Weaver home to make some in- qviry and were informed that their man was there at the time. _ In the house when Neece made the arrest were two Winchester rifles {n the corner. The officer saw them and when he nabbed his man he cried to Weaver and his companion to grab the guns. The prisoner’s team and buggy wasfound at theside and near the Weaver house, In the buggy was found @ double barrelled shot gun. He had a number of shells in his pockets and confessed that for several days he had been anticipat- ing that the officers would be after him and he intended to make {t hot for them.

The stories told by the Weavers and Woods, of course differ. The former say that Woods threatened to kill theentire family if they at- tempted to have him arrested, while on the other hand he admits the commission of the crime, avers that {¢did notoccur in the way they claim {t did, and attempts to lay the blame on his victim.
