Sept. 6.—Harry Kendall Thaw today was Indignant when In formed that his trial for the murder of Stanford White would not b reached until the middle of November. The knowledge that he would be compelled to remain In the Tombs un til the cold weather, at least, made the prisoner gloomy and Irritable. He Had hoped to be placed on trial early in October, and, believing firmly that he would be acquitted, he had counted upon being free before November. There are now confined In the Tombs no less than twenty-four, prisoners awaiting trial on the charge of homi cide. Four others have been commit ted to the Tombs on a murder charge, but In the meantime are awaiting In diriment." Named In order with relation to the date of his Indictment, Thaw Is No. 11 on the list. Ten men are. therefore, entitled to trial ahead of him, but there Is nothing about the case of any of these ten which makes a lengthy trial at all likely.

Banker Broken Down. Btenslond has broken down. Re morse has been his constant companion and his only bright moments since his capture were those when his captors took lunch with him. All night he wept continuously and at times his paroxysmi of tears so alarmed the guards they were on the point of call ing a doctor. Stcnsland suffered also severe physical pain In addition to his mental agony. The captain of his guards, a distin guished looking, white bearded Arab, shortly after daybreak yesterday found Stensland, who had tossed for hours In bed, had risen and was sitting In a chair rocking, weeping and moaning. He had placed a handkerchief over his eyes and abandoned hlmaelf utterly to an outburat of grief. Suddenly he felt a hand on hla shoulder and uncovered his eyes. There at his side stood the old white-robed, turbaned Arab. Arab Suggests Praysr. Down on his knees went the son of the ancient Modem faith, with his right hand pointed to heaven. Then he bowed hla head courteously and In pantomlne gravity suggested to hla prisoner that he find relief above. "And," said Stensland, In telling the itnry, while a wan smile flittered across his huggercd and worn counte nance, "it was not a bad Idea.” Stensland confessed that Russia was his ultimate goal. He said that they might think his Intention Insane, but that was where ho was going. He knew It was not a particularly safe Place from his • point of view, but thought he would have a chance.

LAST STATE CONVENTION IN GEORGIA IS HISTORY Continued from Page One. CITIZENS GOT RIFLES AND RIOT IS FEARER Negro Instructor's Acts Cause His Banishment From Neighborhood. Hpeelul to Tho Georgtnn. Greenville, S. C„ Sept. 5.—As a re sult of the friction between white clt- Ixens of Abbeville, S. C., Thomas H. Amos, president of a colored Pres byterian college, at least a hundred rifles have been bought, It Is said, by htte citizens here recently. Tho sit uation has been growing worse dally, and a race war has been feared for a week or more. Amos is now In Baltimore, and It Is said that he Is afraid to come back to tills stnte. Last Monday a committee of citizens waited upon Amos, and told him to leave town, and thfs ho decided to do at once. It Is charged against him that he has been trying to Intensify race feeling; nlso, It Is said, he fired the minds of the negroes In others ways, causing them to deface the Confederate monu ment there. ler In nomination for permanent chair man. As Judge Miller was escorted to the rostrum he was greeted with great applause. His speech of accept ance was brief, but strong. He stressed the pleasure felt on every side at a re united Democracy. Judge Miller Is, unfortunately, handicapped by a poor voice and frequent cries from the rear of "louder" seemed to distress him. The order of business for the conven tion, the appointment of the credential and platform and resolutions commit tee followed. There followed a shower of resolutions, but It Is a remnrkable fact that only two were reported on favorably. One, calling for a law to protect prohibition counties from the Importation of Intoxicants, was em braced as a part of the platform os adopted. The other, which caused the only rqpl rumpus In the convention, was to have the chairman of the convention call the body together again. If the people should ratify the amendment for an appellate court, to nominate the candidates. Mr. Gray, chairman of the platform committee, first stated that this reso lution was adopted as a part of the platform, but later corrected the state ment by saying It was simply reported to the convention. After a big wrangle the whole matter was passed over, leaving the course of events to be shaped after the ratification of the court of appeals. Take a Rest. At 1:30 o'clock, finding Itself with out any buslneaa on hand, the com mittees being out, the convention ad journed for thirty minutes, but It was after 3 o'clock before It assembled again. Still warm, but refreshed by the rest, the delegates were In their seats when Chairman Miller rapped for or der again. The report of the creden tials committee was ready and read. The Fulton county double-headed committee row, of over a year's stand ing, was settled by declaring the J. E. Maddox committee the regular one. The contest In the Atlantic circuit for the sollcttorshlp, brought by the Incumbent, Livingston Keenan, who was defeated by seven votes by N. J. Norman, was thrown out, and Norman declared the nominee. A local wran gle was also settled In Gilmer county. 8eab Wright Spsaks. As the platform committee was still out, cries for Seab Wright started, and after hanging back modestly for a few minutes, he came to the front. "The next governor of Georgia,” yelled one enthusiast, apparently for getful of the fact that Hoke Smith had not yet been nominated for that Job. "The night before Waterloo In my county," he began, but had to stop for the applause to subside, "Rube Ar nold came up to help us cinch It. Near the close of that meeting some old fellow In the rear of the hall Jumped to his feet and said, ‘Looks to me as 1t It was all over except the shouting,' and began that grand old doxology. •Praise God From Whom A11 Blessings Flow.' " He declared that Hoke Smith would make good every promise given. "Thank God, It Is a white man's party In Georgia now and for all time. We stund together now under the old flag, Jeffersonian Democracy.” Arnold and Berner. He wanted to quit then, but the crowd liked him and Insisted on his proceeding, but he got around It by calling for Reuben Arnold. "I cun talk as long as there Is an Issue to discuss, but we have settled It all. I can’t do much 'on dress pa rade," said Mr. Arnold. He got the glad hand In his brief speech, and re- GREAT OVATION GIVEN 70 HON. HOKE SMITH Rarely has a scene of such spontaneous and whole-hearted enthusi asm been witnessed as took place In the Macon auditorium when the committee came down the center aisle escorting Governor-elect Hoke Smith at 6 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Though wearied by the long session and limp from the heat, the great audience electrified, leaped to Its feet, yelling, waving coats, hats, fans or papers. For a full three minutes that crashing wave of unre strained tribute to the man thundered about the building. And as the man to whom this splendid meed of honor was being paid stood In the center of the stage, he showed plainly how profoundly moved he was. Perfectly calm, yet pale with emotion, he looked do\\n on the seething mass of humanity and his great face lit almost to genialness. Finally, the tumult died away, and he began speaking, his voice low, eded, the volume of hts tones but penetrating with feeling. As he proceed swelled until the deep-chested words searched every nook. It was a mas terly speech. Shorn absolutely of rhetoric and catch phrase. It stunned almost with Its overpowering sincerity. The audience sat breathless, because they felt the tremendous power of the man and the terrible earn estness of his every word. Hoke Smith may make more eloquent speeches, but he will never de liver one that will Impress more profoundly with Its consecrated sin cerity. NOTAN OLD MEMBER ON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE When Miller Names Mem bers at Large, Body Will Consist of 58 Men.

The shock was not felt dt Honolulu. R. L. Berner tried to came for him, but he had to yield. He disclaimed any connection with "the Rube Arnold and Seab Wright gang." Mr. Berner referred to hlsrace of 1888 and said he wus the worat run- over man In the state. He got tremendous applause when he placed Hoke Smith In nomination for the presidency, when the time was ripe for the South to name the candi date. At thla time the platform committee came In and Chairman Gray read It amid profound silence. The platform, as adopted, Is printed In full elsewhere. First Fight Opensd. The first struggle was opened when Dr. Goss, of DeKalb, arose to make a motion to have the section relative to primaries embrace congressional, state, senatorial and county elections. That brought on the storm. Boykin Wright opposed taking away the direct rights of the counties to soy how and when they would hold primaries for county officers. Dr. George Hlllyer favored the Idea of Dr.. Goss. The row ’ eddied and raged for half and hour, when Mr. Whitley, of Douglaa, brought order out of chaos by moving to strike from the platform all reference to congressional, senatorial and county election!. It car ried and stilled the tumult. Voted No on Platform. When the question of adopting the platform was put, Mr. McIntosh. Pierce, thundered a "no.” It was said that Mr. McIntosh had a grievance be cause the committee had choked off his resolution to Indorse William Randolph Hearat for second place on the national ticket. The court of appeals matter caused the biggest rumpus of the meeting. All sorts of suggestions and Ideas were advanced. The resolution to have the convention called together again after ratification of the amendment met with hot opposition from Congressman Hardwick. He said that a platform had Just been adopted doing away with convention nominations, yet the body was turning right around and proposing to stultify Itself by Indorsing another one. Finally. Frank Copeland, of Floyd, checkmated the old buslnees by mak ing a motion to tnble all the resolu tions relative to the court of appeals. One of the surprises of the recent primary Is the fact thnt lion. Thouins G. Hudson, commissioner of agriculture, rnn nheml of the other state house officers who bad no oppoaltlon 10,000 votes.

F.E.HDSI0T: At the meeting of the county com' mlsaloners Wednesday morning It was decided to let the tax rate of Fulton county remain the same as last year— five mills on the dollar.

A diversion was created at this time by the sudden appearance In the center of the stage of a shirt-sleeved farmer, who said he was there to second the nomination of Hoke Smith on behalf of the farmer. Hla wrinkled and toll- worn face was burned a brick-red by summer suns, his shirt was opened wide at the collar, and hla brogans squeaked as he slowly rocked back wards and forward.
