D., June 26.—A. bond |’ in the sum of $25,000 for the release of Mrs. Emma Kaufmann was filed early yesterday morning with Sheriff Phillips. The delay in executing and completing the bond, after the ‘su- preme court had decided that she might be admitted to bail, was not due to a lack of signers, for offers to go upon the bond were plentiful, but to the necessary red tape. The bond was ‘completed before midnight, and Judge Jones of the state circuit court, after examin- ing the instrument and pronouncing it a valid bond, signed it and thus ap- proved it, in accordance with tele- graphic instructions from the state su- preme court. The bond is signed by twenty-nine prominent and substantial citizens of Sioux Falls. Many others offered to sign it, and several times the number could have been secured. Late yesterday afternoon stated at the jail that she doubtless will be removed to her home Monday. Mr. Kaufmann and Charles, the son, are keeping Mrs. Kaufmann company at the jail, both being with her con- stantly. shortly it was LEAP TO DEATH IN RIVER. Girls Drown Before Being Missed by Friends.

The girls were seated in the stern of the boat and leaped into the rushing cur- rent. They were not missed until one of the boys, looking back, noticed a hand disappearing below the waters Not a man on the boat was able to swim, and by the time the boat had been circled the two had drowned.

HARRY THAW, WEALTHY PITTS- WRECKER OF HOME BURG MAN, SHOOTS FAMOUS ARCHITECT. MORE SOLDIERS IN MUTINY SINISTER RUMORS IN CIRCULA- TION REGARDING UHLAN REGIMENT. New York, June 27.— Stanford White, the eminent architect of the firm of McKim, Mead & White, was shot last night and almost instantly killed by Harry Thaw, a members of a prominent Pittsburg family, during the performance of a musical extrava- ganza, “Mamzelle Champagne,” on the roof of the Madison Square Garden. Mr. White died before an ampulance could be summoned and Thaw was ar- rested. The Madison Square roof garden, which has been closed for several years, was crowded last night with a fashionable audience. Tragedy in Midst of Comedy. While Harry Short, who fills the principal comedy role in the piece, was singing a comic song and the gar- den was echoing with the laughter and applause of the audience, a series of shots rattled in the rear of the au- ditorium, and a man in evening dress was seen to fall across a table at which he wa’ sitting with a party of friends. The man who had fired the shots fled, pistol in hand, toward the nearest exit, where he was seized and disarmed by police. Instantly the great audience was thrown into a panie and a wild stam- pede occurred during which chairs and tables were overturned and men and women fought with desperation to escape from the roof. The man who was shot was quickly identified as Mr. White, but his assail- ant was not positively known to be Thaw until after he had been taken to the station house. The woman who accompanied Mr. Thaw was Evelyn Nesbitt, whose mar- riage with Thaw for a time estranged the latter from his family. She was a member of the original “Florodoro” sextette. Mystery still surrounds the cause of the tragedy, but its solution m: be found in the words attributed Thaw immediately after the shooting: “Well, he ruined my wife and I got him.” It is known that for years bitter en- mity had existed between White and Thaw on account of the former's at- tentions to Mrs. Thaw, which had be- gun prior to her marriage. Mrs. Thaw disappeared in the ex- citemen while her husband was being taken to the station house, and up to found. Sct RE REET RO a EO aE NCI SE ree SBC ah TE DE ET SSNS SI IP a aa RRR A IFES Sar ARMY REVOLT GROWS SERIOUS. Suppress Peasant Organization in Ef- fort to Stem the Tide. \ St. Petersburg, June 27.—Appre- hension of the government with re- gard to political agitation in the army is the diregt cause of its efforts for the suppression of the development of the peasant organization. As the ma- jority of the suldiers comes from the peasant class any disaffection in the army is sure to be spread in the peas- ant interest, based on parliament's settlement of the agrarian question. ly watching the peasant movement and taking strong measures’ toward preventing its further development, and to this end is trying to balk meet- ings of the organized peasant group in parliament and the Peasants’ league, which latter is organizing an agrarian strike movement and which was for- bidden by the police to hold a pro- posed convention inthis city. The uneasiness among the Jews is still manifested in a deluge of appeals to members of parliament for protéc- tion against attacks. The mutiny of a portion of the gar- rison of'Batum is reported, priacipally artillerymen and engineers. Cos- sacks surround the mutineers, but at latest advices there had been no fir- ing. Rumors of Disaffection. There are many rumors current of disaffection. It is stated that Several arrests were mage at the Krasnoye Selo camp after a meeting of disaf- fected guards.

St. .Petersburg, June 24—At a crowded meeting of the Constitutional club last night Deputy Stchepkin re- ported the findings of the committee of the lower house which went to Bialystok to investigate the anti-Jew- ish outbreak there. According to this report, the police, with the aid of sub- ordinate officérs of the police and mil- itary, caused the outbreak by circu- lating false rumors against the Jews. The governor of Bialystok, though not directly responsible, was said by M. Stchepkin to have been undoubtedly criminally ‘guilty of prolonging the excesses by abandoning his post. The governor washed his hands of the af- fair, not knowing the attitude of the Officials at St. Petersburg. The local police assumed that the Goremykin ministry, which had. printed Blac! Hundred circulars, would not punish those who participated in the out- break. It is the two-faced attitude of the government, M. Stchepkin assert- ed, which was principally responsible. In concluding the report says: “The ministry must be changed ahd one must be chosen from the majority in parliament, or otherwise Russia will fall to the level of Persia and Turkey and ultimately come under the tutorship of a really civilized govern- ment.” “~ Russian Army in Oper Revolt. St. Petersburg, June 23.—A large proportion of the news appearing ia the papers of this city this morning consists of dispatches telling of mili- tary disaffection. In addition to the outbreaks at Sevastopol and-Ryazan, reported on Thursday, the dispatches report that the garrison of Krasno- yarsk, capital of the province of Yani- sel and one of the principal cities of Siberia, mutinied and killed its offi- cers out of hand. The trouble was caused by an _ intoxicated colonel named Shurin, who, hearing a titter from a group of enlisted men, sabered one of the soldiers. While Regiment Mutinies. The latter’s companions thereupon felled the coloned with clubs. Two of the soldiers were arrested and as soon as the news spread the regiment mutinied and demanded the release of their comrades. Capt. Kozmin, who ordered his company to fire on the mutineers, was killed by his own men. The entire population of Krans- noyarsk is in a panic. Minister of Marine Birileff again visited Cronstadt yesterday and urged the mutinous sailors to return loyally to their duty. Massacre Narrowly Averted. Kielce, a Polish city with a great Jewish population, was on the verge yesterday of an experience such as that through which Bialystok has just passed. During a religious procession a shot was fired, wounding a gen- darme, but the police succeeded in holding the populace in check. The man who fired the shot, a Pole, was arrested. At Gomel, where rumors of an im- pending anti-Jewish outbreak are rife, the military authorities yesterday summoned a deputation of Jews, who declared they had evidence that ex- cesses were being planned and even named the leaders of the plot, but the commandant succeeded in reassuring them. Use Field Guns on the Soldiers. London, June 26.—The correspond- ent at Moscow says that intermittent firing of field guns and distinctive vol- leys were heard last night outside of the town of Khodina Plain. It was|- impossible to secure details, but, the correspondent says, it is believed that an enormous meeting of discontented soldiers of the Moscow garrison was being dispersed by the artillery. Want Cabinet to Resign. St. Petersburg, June 26——The Con- servative Centrist party in the council of the empire, organized recently with the purpose of attempting to supplant the Goremykin ministry by a cabinet chosen from the Octoberists, the Dem- ocratic Reform and the Constitutional Democratic party, have joined in the chorus demanding the resignation of the cabinet. M. Yermoloff. formerly minister of agriculture, gave out an interview yesterday, saying the pres- ent situation is impossible and that it is evident that if the actual minis- try can do nothing for the pacification of the country it should be replaced by a cabinet in which more moderate ele- ments of parliament are given places. M. Yermoloff has nothing but honey- ed words for parliament, which though containing revolutionary elements, he says, is the true representation of the sentiment of the country, and evident- ly he is laying wires and working for a connection between the majoritic: of the two houses of parliament under a responsible ministry. He is thought to have his eye on his old portfolio in such a cabinet. of Premier Tired of Job. There are indications that Premier Goremykin is wearying of his position, but the retirement of the cabinet is apparently not a matter of the immedi- ate future, and reports published that ‘the ministers all wish to resign, but that the emperor cannot decide to ac- cept their resignations are untrue: Kill Policemen, ¢ Warsaw, June 26.—In the suburb of Wola yesterday a band of terrorists id -killed two policemen policeman and FRANKLY ADMITS THE KILLING PLEADS IN JUSTIFICATION THAT WHITE RUINED HIS WIFE— SENT TO TOMBS. New York, June 27—Frankly ad- mitting that he killed Stanford White, the famous architect, and pleading in justification of the deed that White had ruined the life of his wife, the beautiful former chorus girl and artist’s model, Florence Evelyn Nes- bit, Harry Kendall Thaw of Pittsburg, brother of the Countess of Yarmouth, occupies a cell in the Tombs awaiting the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder. His counsel will offer the defense of insanity. Yester- day the prisoner was examined by emi- nent alienists. Wife Must Testify. The coroner’s inquest will be held on Thursday and in all probability the case will then be considered by the grand jury, when the prisoner’s wife will be required to appear before that body. Not since the killing of James Fiske, Jr., by Edward S. Stokes on the stair- case of the Grand Central hotel, more than thirty years ago, has the metrop- olis been shocked by so startling and dramatic a tragedy as that which was enacted Monday night in the presence of an audience of more than 1,000 per- sons in the roof theater of Madison Square Garden. Roused early . yesterday morning from his cell in the West Thirtieth street station house, Thaw was shackled, in spite of his protestations, to a detective and taken in the patrol wagon to police headquarters. There he was photographed and his measure- ments taken on the Bertillon system. Again in the patrol wagon he was taken to the criminal court. building, where a great multitude gathered to catch a glimpse of him, and was ar- raigned in the police court. Committed to the Tombs. The proceedings were of the brief- est, and after the bare formality of arraignment had been undergone, Thaw was committed to the Tombs to await the result of the inquest, which was set for Thursday. Throughout the proceedings Thaw showed little evidence of agitation. While leaving the station house and even in the court room he was compelled to run the gauntlet of batteries of cameras, from which he shielded himself as well as he could by covering his face with his unshackled hand. He was reg- istered at the Tombs as “Harry Thaw, born in the United States, thirty-three years old, student.” Shortly after his arrival he was visited by Dr. Austin Flint, Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald and Dr. Mahon, on behalf, it was said, of the district attorney’s office, and by Dr. Maguire, the Tombs physician, who was requested to make an exami- nation of the prisoner’s mental condi- tion by counsel for the defense. Signs of Incipient Paresis. Doctors MacDonald and Flint later declined to say anything, but Dr. Ma- guire said he believed he had symp- toms of emotional insanity and possi- ble indications of incipient paresis. Dr. Maguire said that Thaw’s physical condition was almost perfect. Lewis Delafield, who took charge of Thaw’s interests immediately after his arrest, announced that the firm of Black, Olcott, Gruber & Bonynge, of which Former Governor Frank S. Black is the senior partner, had been retained to conduct the defense. Mrs. Thaw Appears. The whereabouts of Mrs. Thaw, who disappeared from Madison Square Garden in the confusion that followed the tragedy, remained a mfstery until yesterday afternoon, when she arrived at the offices of Delafield & Longfel- low, where she remained in consulta- tion with counsel for several hours. The district attorney’s office is bus- ily engaged in looking up Thaw’s ante- cedents, his mode of living, reported dissipations and indulgences, with a view to analyzing their bearing on his mental condition. On this point Mr. Nott said: “Thaw is not insane now, nor was he insane at the time he shot White.” Mrs. White Prostrated. Mrs. White came in yesterday morning from her summer home at St. James, in Long Island, and went to the town house in Gramercy Park. Mrs. White was reported to: be com- pletely prostrated by shock and grief.

DISCLOSED THROUGH “LEAK” MRS. WILLIAM THAW’S -GREAT COLLECTION OF RARE GEMS IS STOLEN. Pittsburg, June 27.—Following close- ly upon the sensational shooting of Stanford White by Harry Thaw in New York Monday night comes the disclo- sure of still another incident that brings the Pittsburg family into public notice, and that was disclosed last night while information was bh '.> sought as iv ihe ri- ous members of the Thaw family. A $60,000 jewelry robbery from the Thaw home on Beechwood boulevard is the story and its disclosure was made through a “leak” unconsciously dropped by one very close to the fam- ily. psosence of t Matter Kept Quiet. The exact tinie of the robbery is not known, but it occurred while the Thaw family was in the city, and, although the police and detective forces of the city were immediately notified, the matter has-been kept under cover un- til the present time. The jewels are said to be some of rare value gathered by Mrs. William Thaw in her travels and include strings of pearls, diamonds of rare value and:perfect color, and silver plate. Heavier pieces of plate of cumbersome bulk were left behind. Work of Ciever Gang. The Pittsburg Post says of the rcb- bery: “Not much of the’case has thus iar * been gathered. The date of the rob- bery is withheld, but it is said it o+ curred in the past fegy weeks. Mrs. Thaw, it was explained, had neve: been careful of her jewels and seldoin put them in a vault or safe of any kind. They were scattered about Mrs. Thaw’s apartments. “A clever gang did the work, it it said, because of the skill in covering up their movements. It is apparent that the Thaw honie had been the ob- ject of a close study, as well as had the habits of the inmates. Amounts to Princely Sum. “When the case was first reported the family was in entire ignorance of the time the robbery occurred and couid give no explanation of how the robbers entered the place. The fam ily’s loss, while amounting to a prince- ly sum, was not, however, the whole burden of regret over the affair. In- cluded in the stolen property were many gifts to Mrs. Thaw from the late William Thaw on their wedding day, and also many other jewels given her soon after the wedding. “The general belief is that the booty has been carried out of Pitts- burg and every city in the country has been notified of the robbery, with a description of the pieces of jewelry stolen.” LAND REGISTRY CONTINUES.
