Smith, as the owner of | the winning sloop. Mr. Smith received Commodore Van- | derbilt's letter advising him of the King’s congratulations while entertaining a- few friends on his steam yacht, the Hauoli, this after- noon. Later in the day Commodore Vanderbilt sent King Edward another message in which, among other things, he repeated the thanks of Mr. Smith. There are all kinds of rumors here vie- tonight about a possible chdllenge from Sir Thomas Lipton this year. One of them is that Thomas is| coming over next month with the pur- | pose of trying to informally arrange a challenge, and that if he succeeds in doing so he will return and have the necessary documents in the case forwarded immediately. Anotherstory here tonight is that Thomas W. Law son will attempt to win the King's cup next year, and that he Intends to build another ninety-footer for that W. Lawson. B The friends of F. M.

FATHER STEPS OUT, 30N 6OE3 IN. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. STOCKTON, Aug. 10.—Dr. Asa Clark, who for the past fourteen years has been the medical superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, placed his resignation in the hands of the board | of managers today, and his son, Dr. Fred P. Clark, was unanimously elected to succeed him. During the regime of Dr. Asa Clark ncarly all of the important improve- ments in the hospital have been made. It was he who first advised a State hos- pital farm. Years ago he advanced the thecry that the patients who were bod- {ly able to care for themselves should be domiciled in sgparate cottages and kept at work on a farm. He said that the farm should furnish all of the but- ter, eggs, pork and vegetables needed at the big institution. The hospital farm was secured this year and is prov- ing a success. The father will now resume the man- agement of his private sanitarium and the son will step from the latter insti- tution to the State Asylum. —_— STATE DEPARTMENT RECEIVES NO WORD FROM LEISHMAN Sultan Probably Still Unwilling to Re- ceive American Representative in Embassadorial Capacity. WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.—Since the arrival of John G. Leishman, the American Embassador to Turkey, in Constantinople several weeks ago the State Department has had no advices whatever from him, and it is assumed here that the Sultan of Turkey is still unwilling to receive Mr. Leishman in his embassadorial capacity. The elevation of the American mis- sion to Censtantinople from a legation to an embassy was distasteful to the Sultan, who has taken no action to raise the Turkish legation in Washing- ton to an embassy. e Automoblle Meet at Del Monte, mhtouuudmofflnmmwm take place st Hotel Del Monte ne; .

SMITH'S YACHT EFFORT, , KING EDWARD'S CU! RS, THAW WEARS A LOUD” GOWN. Appears at the Prison in Cream-Colored Dress | With Black Checks | SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.—Harry K. Thaw a few days ago complained to his wife that she nearly always wore the same brown dress when she visited him in the Tombs. Today Mrs. Thaw stepped from her cab in front of the | prison wearing a cream-colored gown with small black checks. Thaw's face lighted up with pleasure when he saw | her. As Mrs. Thaw came out of the Tombs | several newspaper men spoke to her abcut the change in her dress, and she replied apvlogetically: “Harry has been begging me so much to wear some of my pretty dresses that I finally felt obliged to wear this. I did not want to wear them before, hecause of the added notoriety it might bring.” Former Assistant District Attorney | James W. Osborne has been chosen by | Thaw to conduct his defemse. While there s no officlal confirmation of this | statement, a member of the firm of | Hartridge & Peabody, the lawyers who have been preparing Thaw's case, has said that Osborne probahly would be selected to defend Harry Thaw. It was also learned today that Thaw's attorneys have completely rounded out their plan of defense. All the evidence upon which Osborne must depend to se- cure an acquittal of Thaw has been gathered. All the witnesses that will be necessary are kept in daily touch with the prisoner’s lawyers and are | ready to take the stand. Further investigation of the story that Hattie Forsythe, of the Anna Held Company, and two other chorus girls called at Stanford White's stu- dio in the Madison Square Garden tower the night before he was shot and on finding he was not at home left the name of Mrs. Harry Thaw, seems to stamp it as a press agent yarn. Miss Forsythe is at home in Provi- dence, attending her mother, who is seriously ill. Today she said that the story was not based on facts. She says it was sent out by Florenz Zieg- feld, the husband of Anna Held. The | story had it that this joke was really responsible for White's death. Itsaid that on learning on June 26 that “Mrs. Harry ‘Thaw” had left her name the night before, he sent her a note ex- pressing his sorrow at having missed her. This note Thaw was supposed to have iound and the shooting was said to have been the direct resuilt.

Patterson, formerly Fay Templeton, arrived at their home near here last night and were greeted with a veritatle charivari by the villagers. “Keep right on marching, and be quick about it, or I'll turn the dogs on ou.” % This was the salutation with which Patterson greeted the village drum corps that assembled before the resi® dence. Despite the warning, the mu- sicians continued on their march, circ- ling the house and returning to the entrance gates, where, once clear of the private grounds of the millionaire, it plsyed several tunes amid cheers for “W. Althou;‘h the Pattersons distinctly declined to be “at home” to the seren- aders other houses in the vicinity were lighted up and the residents were out on the porches and applauded the play- ers. —— e L Involved Treasurer Resigns.

Miss Cushman, who is only 20 and exceedingly pretty, displayed more inerve than many of those who were there to witness her flight. A remark- | able feature of her aerial trip was that, .notwlthstandlng Miss Cushman is the [only child of her parents, who idolize her, both her mother and father were | anxlous she should make the ascension. | Her mother stood by her side until she | was strapped to the bar upon which | she sat. As the ropes that held the big | balloon were cut and the great, sway- | ing bag leaped into the air it was her | mother who led the.cheering. | After passing through a cloud, which | hid her from sight for a few seconds, the balloon emerged and it became ap- parent the girl was making an effort to cut loose for a drop of several thou- sand feet.

Stokes on behalf of the minomity stock- holders, saying that notwithsuuding the fact that the opposition stockhold- ers lost in their fight yesterday against the E. H. Harriman regime of the ex- press company, these stockholders and others would look forward to the Har- riman management to declare 16 per cent dividends. Stokes pointed out in his letter that much of the stock of Wells, Fargo & Co. was held by trustees for widows and orphans and that it would be an in- Justice to that class of stockholders for the company not to pay a 16 per cent dividend when the reports showed that it was earning 38 per cent net profits.

"TRUST BREAKER” TIES NEW FOE, SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. OMAHA, Aug. 10.—Upon information furnished by W. H. Green, the re- doubtable independent implement dealer of Creighton, this State, pro- ceedings were today started against the International Harvester Company for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws. Green has also brought suit against the concern for $2000 damages and has retalned former Senator Wil- lam V. Allen as his attorney. Green’s fame as a “trust-buster” was established last year when he origi- nated a clever system of anti-trust ad- vertising, which secured for him a large volume of business from the farmers of Northern Nehraska. At the close of the season, however, he learn- ed that one of the harvesters he had been booming as an independent pro- duct was owned all the time by the trust and that “it had baited him out or the limb,” as he expressed it, “and then cut the limb ofr.” Nothing daunted by the blow, Green bough{ a newspaper and continued his anti-trust campaign. As editoy of the Nebraska Liberal, although the fleld of journalism was new to him, his success is evidenced by his election a few weeks ago to the presidency of the State Democratic Press Association. —— NORTH DAKOTA MAYOR A FENCE FOR HORSETHIEVES Found Guilty by Citizens of His Own Town of Acting for Montana Cattle Rustlers.

The visit of Jones and Barnsdall, one the attorney for the Standard Oil, the other an agent of the trust, means that the oil company has gone over the head of Secretary MWchcock to the Presi- dent. Several months ago the Standard began a movement to secure absoluta control of the oil lands in the two Ter- ritories, sald to be the most promising in the United States at the present time. Secretary Hitchcock made up his mind he would prevent the lands from passing to the oil trust at a ridic- ulously low figure, and so he imposed certain “conditions, after compliance with which oil lands might be leased from the Indians. The Standard, it is alleged, secured control of 1,500,000 acres of the best oil-producing lands in the Terri- tory and is now bringing all sorts of pressure to bear to force the Secretary to revoke the conditions he imposed.
