ONE MORE'WEEK PASSES AND CARTOONIST BREWERTON GIVES HIS IMPRESSION OF WHAT IT BROUGHT FORTH SOUTHERN TO Double-track FROM ATLANTA TC MACON TO MAKE A PUBLIC PARK AT GREAT T He Will Spend $25,000 Beautifying the Grounds A. 0. Rhodes will make a public park out of the land adjacent to his magnifi cent home on the Peachtree road and will spend $25,000 In beautifying it. When seen by a reporter Saturday morning Mr. Rhodes said: "It Is too soon for me to give you a definite outline of my plans. 1 do not object, however, to telling you that the park Is a certainty." "fan you say when It will be laid off?" "1 cannot. Certainly hot before au tumn. If that soon." “Will you place the matter In the hands of an expert landscape artist, as Is reported?" "I shall, of course, though as yet I have made no arrangements for any eon tract." ^ When asked what amount he would •Spend on the enterprise, Mr. Rhodes replied warily, “I have no Idea how much It will require," which may be taken ns an Indication that’ he stands ready to expend whatever the artist thinks necessary. Report has It, how ever, that Mr. Rhodes expects to use fully $25,000 to good advantage In im proving and beautifying the property. When asked-If the parte would be a' public one, he said that of course It would still be private property, but that it would bo for the use of the public. The plot lies between the homes of Mr. Rhodes and Dr. Crawford on Peachtree road, and sloping gently from the street, makes a beautiful dell ad tnlrably suited for park purposes. The project Is a decided step toward civic Improvement, and one which. If followed by other cltlsens, would mean as much toward the happiness of our people as toward the beautifying of our city.

New York, July 21.—The friends of Stanford White, the murdered archi tect, today are co-operating Indirectly with Mrs. William Thaw to prevent Harry Kendall Thaw from being placed on trial. A trial would be productive of star tling revelations, and- this the dead architect's friends seek to avoid, while Mrs. Thaw fears the electric chair for her son In the event of a trial with the “unwritten law” aa a defense. Two Women Don't Speak. The breach between Evelyn Neablt Thaw and her husband's mother has widened, because the young wife, alone of those close to him, ha* encouraged him In hla decision to light all at tempts to prove him Insane. In private the two women do not speak non-. Mrs. Thaw Ignores the iung wife entirely, and whlla Evelyn hdw la doing all she can to aid her _jaband to keep the Insanity plea out of the case, Mrs. William Thaw con.- stantly Is sending suggestions to Mr. Olcott to enable him to establish Thaw's mentnl irresponsibility. Lawyers Not Recognized, The Olcott Arm, which the mother retains, Is not recognized by h«r son and Mrs. Thaw and her lawyers Ignore Clifford Hartrldge, Thaw's personal counsel. It Ik understood that. In line with the new policy of the defenie In plead ing Justification, Mr. Hartrldge will make public within the next few days facta, that hare hitherto been unreveal ed bearing upon the case and tending to ahow the tension to whlcli Thaw had been wrought up by the circumstances in which he labored, Whitt's Widow to Laave. It Is believed the publication of these excerpts from the evidence which the defense has collected, Including por tions of the secret statements made by the wlf* of the prisoner, will go far toward bringing public sympathy to hla cause, which Is considered a highly desirable objective by hla counsel. Mrs. Stanford White will leave New York for Parts early In August and will remain away until the Thaw trlil Is concluded. Will Keep Statement. Terrence J. McManus of the Arm of Black, Olcott, Oruber A Bonynga today refused to give up the first statement of Evelyn NeabU Thaw of her life story. When Hartrldge'a brother, also a lawyer, asked for It today Mu Mc Manus referred Mr. Hartrldge to Judge Olcott and turned on his heel. Pleads With Her Son. Thaw's mother made a lost appeal to har son today to permit her to direct^ the fight for his life.

He did have considerable to say on the subject In talking to some of tha law yers at tha bar meeting, though hla re marks were not learned until he left there. "This case haa attracted considerable attention," said Mr. Jerome In talking to the solicitor of one of the county courta of Georgia. "It has been mainly on account of the many stereotyped newspaper feature* connected with the tragedy. Some people are looking for ward to the trial. It will not attract the attention the Mollneux case did, for It haan't the depth to It. "I am of the opinion that there will be a long trial. In case a sanity com mission Is applied for.

'Oh, I don't think there will be any trouble about that," said Mr. Jerome when asked abuut that phase of the affair. Mov* of Last Retort.

It also became known while the dis trict attorney and hla assistant* were In Warm Springs that they were of the opinion that th# discharge of hla law yer* by Thaw was a part of his meant- y “play." The district attorney and Mr. Gervan placed little credence In the "unwritten law" claim. "The South Is not unlike tho North, East or West, when It comes to the un written lew, as It la called," aald the district attorney. “You cannot secure a conviction In our part of tha state any more than down har*.
