Thaw, reconciled with his Canadian Jawyers to the procedure to be fol- Jowed on Wednesday next when, ac- cording to present plans, he will be arraigned in the superior court on a writ of habeas corpus, spent a rest- ful Sunday in the Sherbrooke jail and announced tonight that no matter if ‘William Trave Jerome did take charge of New York state’s case, he (Thaw) was not fearful of the out- come. “I faced the death chair twice,” sald Thaw. “Why should I worry about go- ing back to Matteawan?’ Jerome Not Yet Arrived. Mr. Jerome had not reached here this evening and in the absence of Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney general in charge of New York forces, no authoritative statement could be obtained as to the time of his arrival E. A. Conger, Dutchess county’s dis- trict attorney, said he heard Jerome was coming by motor, but that he had not been told any more than this, Thaw His Own Press Agent. On the Thaw side the arrival here of Roger O'Mara was just as indefi- nite. Today Th:w himself sald he had not summonéd the Pittsburgh de- tective. Subsequently he amended this “l1 expect to gee Roger,” he admitted Having found it useless to argue with him, Thaw's lawyers, headed by J. N. Greenshieids, K. C., of Montreal, brought about a truce in the breach that for a time threatensd, by agree- ing to let Thaw manage the "publicity end of his case.” Two Conferences with Lawyers. To Thaw this end has become pre- dominant. He has been told that he 4s likely to be deported to Vermont after the immigration authorities take him inte custody and tonight he made & request for a list of the leading newspapers of that state, “1 may have some very important slatements to give them,” he sald. Two conferences—in one of which Thaw participated—were held today by the Thaw lawyers. His counsel, Afr. Greenshields, was absent. He will ot return from Montreal until tomor- row. But Charles D. White, W. C. Me- Keown, Colonel Harry Fraser, ex-Gov. ernor William A. Stone of 'Pennsyl- vania and W. A. Blakely of Pittsburgh, distriot attorney of Aliegheny county, spent a good part of the day in going over the ground. Bilakely There as Friend of Family. Mr. Blakely was emphatic in say- ing that he had not come here in the capacity of a lawyer opposing New York state’s interests, but 1S a per- ®sonal friend of the Thaw family.

I spent a few moments with him in cell today and found him in good spirits. 1 shall return to Pittsburgh tonight. Possibly 1 shall return.” None of the Thaw lawyers cared to make any predictions tonight as to the unwinding of the legal phases of the case. but it was understood that they would come into court with their hab- eas corpus writ granted last week, on Wednesday, as agreed, and begin their 4l battle when the immigration au- ties take up the question of de- Thaw as an undesirable alien. earing might last for days.

Sen- timent seems to be growing among f our people that the poor fel- uffered enough. Others—the better informed—feel that sympathy and justice must remain distinct.” Thaw Smokes Many Cigars. Coatless, disheveled and with the week-old stains of travel not all erased, Thaw speni a good part of the day looking out over the serene valley that stretches away to the east from the snclent jall. The pine table, supplied him for his increasingly voluminous correspondence, was buried under a disordered m: ““hor letters and tele- grams. On a shee® of yellow paper he had carefully deposited the ashes and stumps of the many cigars he smoked. The confusion of papers was in murked contrast to the spotless clean- liness of the cell. The floor is scrub- beéd daily like a ship’s deck; the walls are newly whitewashed. An earthen jar on the window sill beld a huge bpuquet of sweet peas, “Who sent the flowers” Thaw was asked. . “I don’t know," he sald. The governor said he did not know who had sent them. 4 Laughs Over Kidnapping Rumors. “A little girh maybe,” he smiled. Thaw’s name on | their lips, and tonight the Rev.

Thaw laughed at the recurring ru- mors that attempts would be made to kidnap him. “The whole trouble is,” he exclaimed, “that they send a guard up to watch me every time I have a caller. This keeps them trotting up and down stairs and disorganizing the Jail_equipment. “You can make a good story out of the kidnapping stuff, taough,” he add- ed “Why not something like this: ‘Armed thugs sent acréss border by Carmody; clash between United States and Canada over Harry Thaw.

I retained counsel for Thompson Dbecause he is a British subject, wrong- ly involved in my case. They tell me he was born in Toronto.” “Gentleman Roger,” lounging in an- other cell, had no statement to make, except “T've admitted that I'm Roger ‘Thompson and that I drove Thaw in a car when he escaped. That's all I'm going to admit. They've got a lawyer for me now and things look better,” Possible Immunity for Thempson, District Attorney Conger sald tenight that he understood in a gencral way that Thompson's lawyer, Leuis S, Laurent, wanted to talic over with him the suggestion made on Saturday that | Thompson receive immunity in New York state from any prosecution for complicity In the Thaw liberation plot He added that this information was not direct, and that Me had not made up his own mind as to whether such ar- rangement would be wise or productive | of results.

(Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, Aug. 24 —During the discussion of 'the tariff in the senate on Saturday afternoon Senator Bran- degee secured the floor and said he wished to call the attention of the senator from North*Carolina to the fact thaw the president of the United States on the 8th day of April last ad- dressed the congress as follows: “It would be unwise:to move towards this end headlong, With reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own in- vitation. It does not alter a thing to upset it and break it and deprive it of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes in our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object is development. A more free and whole- some development, not revolution or upset or confusion.’ Democratic Promises. “Mr. President: It was said repeated- 1y by the president and by the leaders of his party in the campaign that the intention of his partv if given power, would be to revise the tariff so as not to injure a single legitimate industry, and those who were attempting to make the people of this country appre~ hensive that any legitimate industry which, in the language of the presi- dent, had grown #p according to our own invitation and under our own laws, would be injured, was an im- proper attempt on the part of republi- cang to distort and misrepresent his ! position and that of his party. “Now the senator from North Caro- lina, the distinguished chairman of the committee on_ finance, stands on the ! floor of the United States senate and | says that In the makeup of this bill | there has been no attempt whatever |to even amcertain the difference be- tween the cost of prodiction here and | abroaa, that there has been no attempt to Incorporate a single protective fea? | ture in thig entire hill, that there has Dbeen no attempt to protect any indus- for the last forty years under the invi- tatlon provided bys the ‘laws of the | country, and acté®of congress, and that, instead of ,ablding by what the president said In hie solemn message te this cengress within four months, of not preceeding to désiroy anything, but to make the changes In the flscal policy of this gevernment gradual, so that, things ight - be developed and not be upset and reduced te confusion, they boldly state that their intention is to destroy at one swQop the entire ystem of protection. A Complete Somersault. “If the democratic party can -con- sistently claim that this is a wise, dis- creet and conservative policy, intend- ed simply to readjust inconsistencles in the existing laws so as not to injure a single legitimate industry, they can turn a more complete somersault than any political party has ever succeeded in doing in this country and still re- tain power. “I have not criticized the president of the United States. The senator (Simmons) has pronounced a glowing panegyric upon the president 8f the United States. I will, however, say, now that the senator has called my attention to the matter, that if the president of the United States ap- proves his bill, after what he said in | his message to this_ | 8th day of April, thé president of the United States has turned just as com- plete a somersault as have the mem., bers of his party; but I have no doubt that with his usually successful and compulsory seductiveness he will have | the entire majority both of this branch and in the other trailing submissively in the rear, and that they will be pleased upon this, as upon all other occasions, to give each other complete absolution and to pass bouquets and various flowers to each other, unfil | finally after the people have had one | more chance to express their opinion upon this concotion of absurdities and incon: be placed a stencies there will little wreath of lilies of the valley upon | | the corpse which will be interred three vears from now. (Laughter.) Trying to Ward Off a Panic. “Mr. President: The senator states | that no panic has been preduced, al- though the bill impends ovel' the pros- perity of the country like a cloud. The enator and his friends have been say- ng for weeks that the interests were | the purpose of discrediting this bill. “Of course, it was absurd, as a great many of their statements are absurd, about the intention of the interests to pull down the temple about théir own | ears. Instead of trying to produce a panic, everybody i8 talking as cheer- | fully as he can, for ,the purpose of warding off as much as possible of the | baleful consequences that are bound to come upon the country. The people | who have their notes in the bank to | pay for their stocks of goods are try- | ing to prevent any panic which would | result in calling their loans. Every- | body who is stocked up with goods is | | trying to whistle as he passes through | ! the umbrageous shade of this impend- ing horror, and to cheer himself up, so | that at least he will gain time enough | to work off upon the public a portion | of the product which he has manufac- | tured with the savings of his business before the flood gates and the bonded warehouses are opened and foreign goods made by cheap labor are dumped upon him in competition in the market where he has produced his goods at higher prices, better wages and upon American standard of living. Country Prosperous Today. “I do not want any panic, and my party does not want any panic. We have not provided any panic at all The country is prosperous toddy. I congratulate the senate and the coun- try upon the fact that we have the testimony of the chairman of the commlittee on finance embalmed in the Congressional Reécord, so that if this bill, when put into operation, does not produce conditions which the country will say are an improvement upon the existing conditions which, from the senator's statements, I should judge were about as good as we had a right to anticipate, the peopls of the coun- try could then turn back to the words the senator (S8immans) has today ut- tered gnd contrast -their conditions then with thelr condition now as testi- fled to upon -the highest democraiic authority, and see how much thev owe the demperatie party, and whether it han justified the temporary lease of majerity power which has been acol- confers rred upon it iry that has grown up in this country | congress on the | in a comspiracy to procure a panic for | Largest in Connecticut in Proportion Putnam ltalian Murder Victim| THREE BULLET WOUNDS IN‘ BODY OF FRANK ROZE ASSASSIN IS UNKNOWN Roze Dies Without Disclosing Name of Man Who Near Railroad Bridge Saturday Night Did Shooting—Fracas (Special to The Bulletin.) Putnam, Aug. 24—Frank Roze, 2T shot three times Saturday night by some unknown person, died at' 6 o’clock Sunday night at the Day Kim- ball hospital, adding another to the list of persons recently murdered in Windham county. Shot Near Railroad Bridge. The shooting of Roze is ‘a matter surrounded with mystery. The shoot- ing occurred near the railroad bridge over Front street just before 11 o'clock Saturday night, and people who were in the vicinity say that eight or nine revolver, shots were heard. Just what actually " occurred js not known, for Roze died without making any state- ment sufficiently definite to shed much light upon the affair, Suspected Another ltalian. He said he did not know who shot him, though he believed it was an- other Italian who is engaged with a gang laying water pipes near the fair grounds, and he also stated that he had no revolver of his own. After being shot Roze ran through Kinney's lum- ber yard to School street to Corbin street to May street and into Tet- reault's saloon, where he collapsed. Unable to Stand Operation. \ Two men who were in the place took him to the office of Dr. J. J. Russell near by, Dr. Russell ordering him re- moved fo the hospital. At the hospital an examination showed that Roze had been shot three times, one bullet en- tering the abdomen, another lodging in the right side and another in the back. Roze’s pulse almost immediate- ly jumped up to 160 and his condition Was so serious that he was not oper- ated upon. Roze Gives Little Information. During Sunday Prosecuting Attor- ney Arthur W. Macdonald and Coroner Arthur G. Bill both saw Roze at the hospital, but did not succeed in glean- ing any more information from him as to what led up to the shooting or who was responsible for it other than the injured man had previously given. To an interpreter Roze insisted that he did not know who shot him, and all efforts to draw him out were unavail- ing. A Possible Revolver Duel. At the scene of the shooting, soon after it occurred, a 38 calibre revolver was picked up and is now in the hands of the Putnam officials. Roze was shown the revolver, from which all the shells were gone when it was found, by Prosecuting Attorney Macdonald Sunday, but the dying man denied that he owned the weapon. There is a bellef In the city that Roze engaged in a revolver duel with the man who shot him, but this could not be sub- stantiated Sunday. Persons who were about the scene of the shooting soon after it occurred claim that an evil- looking foreigner who was holding a handkerchief to the side of his head as though he had been wounded came back and started to search for what is presumed to have been the revolver found, but when he saw persons about he ran away. = Wife and Two Children Survive. Another story is that a man was seen running through the fields near the high school. The duel theory is based upon the fact that more shots were heard fired than could have been produced from one revolver’ with one loading. The police were working hard on the affair Sunday, but find it there were very few persons mear late hour. Roze was a laborer who came here about five months ago from Italy with his wife and two small children. He could not speak English. i JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER— !

Unless satis- factory overtures are made by the Huerta government before ' Tuesday, President Wilson will proclaim in per- 80n in a message to both houses of congress the principle’ that constitu- tional government alone can be recog- nized in Mexico. He also will outline the, suggestions of the United States for the elimination of Huerta and the establishment of a legally constituted iixdmlms"muon in the southern repub- ic. France Won’t Receive de la Barra. That the United States is backed by a world-wide sentiment in its peace policy is conceded in diplomatic circles here. Tangible evidence of the atti- tude of France came today in news despatches from Paris stating it was practically certain President Poincare and Foreign Minister Pichon would not receive Francisco de la Barra, appoint- ed minister to France by Provisional next | President Huerta and now en route to his post. His status, it was pointed out in the advices from Paris, was sim- ilar to that of General Felix Diaz, spe- clal ambassador to Japan from the Huerta administration, who, it was an- nounced in Tokio, would not be wel- comed. ' Great Britain’s statement re- cently that the recognition of Huerta had been provisional, pending an elec- tion, taken together with expressions from ¥France and Jangn. all of whom have formally recognized Huerta, are the only public manifestations of sym- pathy with the policy of the United States in opposing Huerta, but in th quiet realm of diplomacy a greater pressure is being brought to bear upon the Huerta regime to yield to the American suggestions for peacs. Latin-America Stands by Wilson. Assurances that Latin - America stands by Presjdent Wilson have been informally recefved here. This had been expected, however, as the inter- ests of Central and South American countries, where volatility of govern- ment has prevailed through military dictatorships, are admittedly in line with the attitude taken by the United States in the present situation. ‘While President Wilson has com- pleted his message, which will embrace not only a¥swmmary of the proposals made by John Lind and the reply of the Huerta government, bt a state- ment of the policy to be followed by the United States, administration offi- clals were reticent to discuss what course would be pursued. They poit- ed significantly, however, to the Latin- American statement issued by Pres dent Wilson during the first fortnight of his administration and declared it would be the basis of what he would have to say on Tuesday. In that statement the president announced he earnestly desired “the most cordial un- derstanding and co-operation between the peoples and leaders of America.” Alleged Act of Intimidation. The president pointed ont that the United States had nothing to seek im Latin-America but the “lasting inter- ests of the people” and the security of governments intended for the people and no special group or interest, The execution near Mexico City of Deputy Seraphino Rendon because he was alleged to have plotted to assassi- nate Provisional President Huerta is regarded by constitutionalist repre- sentatives here as an act of intimida- tion deliberately planned by Huerta to { influence the members of the Mexican ocongress which convenes next month and which is likely to have before it important questions of policy. Rendon ig reported to have been one of Mexi- co’s most popular deputies, a Madero adherent and well liked by Americans the | in Mexico. MEXICO ANXIOUS. Eager'y Awaits Next Development in Delicate Situation. Mexico City, Aug. 24—The keenest anxiety was manifested in the capital today as to what will be the develop ment of the undertaking of the United States government in Mexico’s internal affairs. Mexico's attitude s one of waiting while the people resident here, both native and foreign, are display- ing deep apprehension. That President Huerta will make public tomorrow the correspondence between the two countries is now a matter of doubt and in official quar- ters it is thought possible that Presi- dent Wilson will advance the date for the presentation of his message, not- withstanding the announcement of a 48 hour limit. No news of such de- termination on the part of the presi dent of the United States to force General Huerta's hand in this way has reached the embassy, however. Rumors continue that Huerta is still considering resigning, possibly fa- vor of General Trevino, but thére is no sound basis for this assertion. Those clase to the executive imsist that he will not alter the stand he has taken and will await Washington's next move, The public opinion is expressed here that there will be a swift culmin- ation of all-peaceable relations if twn- gress is given an opportunity for free debate of President Wilson's state- ment of the facts in the case. Senor Gamboa, minister of tam affairs, denfes the reports that mat will make any proposal to the United States, but expresses the hope thai Washi; mght reply to Mexico's note rejecting the American demands. Mr, Lind, President’ Wilson’s personal representative, maintains cordial rela- tions with the forelgn office, but lit- tle has been done during the past few days by him and Senor Gamboa which would be calculated to aler the sit- uation, FARMHAND FALLS FROM MOTORBOAT.
