BY CHARLES SOMERVILLE.
New York. June 29.—The ringing
shots from the revolver of Harry Thaw
that sent Stanford White to his death
have sounded sickening fear to other
men In Ne'w York—men- aa wealthy
as White was; men as prominent; men
as talented. It has set a hundred or
more Doctors Jekyl trembling for fear
of the discovery of their Misters Hyde,
There are white-faced and uneasy eyes
to be observed In some of the best
club* of the city—faces that hereto
fore were always more or less flushed
with wine and whose eyes have always
looked. In spite of their secret doing*,
with a synlcal confidence on the world
that they have deceived.
Astounding -Results Threatened.
The Thaw trial threatens to start
the police muck rake with astounding
results. In the clouds of queer sto
ries that have arisen above the scene
of Monday may have touched some of
them In the post, but many others of
those named have stood heretofore only
far men occupying foremost places In
many of thb nobleAt pursuits of civili
sation.
In these queer tales, strangely
enough, the youth of New York does
not appear. The men In them are of
the stamp of Stanford White. They
are men who have fought the fierce
fight for success and Ivon It, men of
distinction resting on their achieve
ments and liven Tree rein. Under mlntls
disordered by champagne and heavy
supper*, to evsry whim—the shadier,
the more alluring.
Nothing Short of Brazan.
In this they have been nothing short
of brasen. So sure have they been
of the ytrcl* of protection that their
Influence and their fame had drawn
around them that they have disported
In all license under the high glare of
the great city’s lights.
Again, however, this may have been
their very best concealment. It Is an
old trick of criminals who have com
mitted an offense against the law In
New York to hide themselves—In New
York. Its labyrinthlan avenues and
streets. It* vast crowds make so con
fused a picture that Individuals are
Inst In the whirl of It. In like man
ner, there have been bigamy trials In
New York where men have maintained
two and even three establishments for
years without on establishment being
cognisant of the existence of tho oth
er, although all throe might be within
pistol shot dlstnnce of one another.
Throw Off Respectability.
And so these men, sitting In dignity
at the head* of their family, board* In
the clty'a mansions: lecturing a son,
perhaps on his wildness; chiding a
daughter for some little Innocent es
capade, hava thrown on their over
coats and thrown off their respectabil
ity and gone out where the lights blase
most glaringly, the odor of perfumes Is
heavy, and ribaldry rants on till dawn
Is In ths sky. They fear the day of
reckoning I* at |u(nd.

GREETED BY CHEERS
By Private Leased Wire.
Milwaukee, Wls„ June 29.—“We re
gard with Just pride and admiration
the typical American who has been
journeying In foreign l?nds the past
year, and although only a private citi
zen, with none of the allurements of
place or power about him, has been
accorded distinguished consideration
and . attention wherever he has gone,
solely because his course in public and
private life alike has shown him to be
a patriotic citizen, a wise and far-see
ing statesman, and a thoroughly hon
est and upright man. In whom the peo
ple can safely repose their utmost con
fidence.
We therefore declare that we are
heartily in. favor of that typical Amer
ican, William Jennings Bryan, as the
Democratic candidate for president In
1908, "And we pledge our united efforts
to secure his nomination.’’
In these w*»rds the state Democratic
convention, in session here, indorsed
William Jennings Bryan as the stand
ard-bearer of the party in the cam
paign of 1908. Cheers greeted every
mention of the Nebraskan’s name.
A municipal ownership plank was
adopted after a long and spirited de
bate.
