New York, Jan. 7.—Before the second
rial of Harry Thaw has progressed far
he young Pittsburg millionaire will
ake the stand to justify In person the
hooting of Stanford White. This has
isen decided not because of the eager
less of the prisoner to relate his story
o the Jury, but because It is now re
tarded as being of nraotlcal value.
Thaw wanted to take the stand when
IS was first tried, but his counsel with
llfllculty persuaded him to abandon
its Intention. During the time he has
leen In Jail awaiting his second trial.
Thaw has continually debated with
umself the advisability of telling the
tary In his own words Just what act-
lated him to.kill White.
He has regretted hundreds of times
hat he did not Insist on doing so when
Irst tried and he regarded his capltu
atlon to his attorneys as a mistake.
It Is known that Thaw has succeeded
n Impressing his present counsel with
he value of his testimony and that
hey are convinced that by his taking
he stsnd ho will not only make clear
ill emotions and his burdened state of
olnd at the time, but he will also con
fines the Jury that, while Irresponsl
tie at the time of the killing he Is now
a>mpetent and capable of calm sound
eaiontng.
Thsw Called In.
Harry Thaw was called from the pen
it 10:35 a. m. and the work of exam-
nlng the talesmen then begun. Thaw
core the same suit and carried t’*r
•me portfolio as h« did during the
Irst trial. He appeared disappointed
then he looked toward the "Thaw row"
•nd saw only his brother Joslah.
Myron W. Thayer, a contractor, was
he nrst talesman called.
While the examination was In prog-
ess Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw hurried
ato the court room. She wore the
ame blue dress, with school girl collar
aid blue hat. with violets, that she
sore yesterday.
Explaining her delay, Mrs. Thsw
eld that her automobile had been tied
ip In a blockade. Harry Thaw nodded
uid smiled as she took her seat In the
ew and she returned the greeting.
Two Men Dropped.
Speed in the selection of the Jury was
■•vested this afternoon when the et-
omeys for the prosecution and de-
•nse went back over the list of men
THAW WAGERS HE’LL BE FREE
MAN BY FEBRUARY 22, NEXT
New York. Jan. 7.—Harry K. Thaw Is so
convinced of hls swift acquittal at his second trial
for the murder of Stanford White, thnt he h»B
made a wager with a fellow-prtsoner In the Tombs
that he would be a free man by Washington’s
birthday, February 33.
The young Plttsburger told hls fellow-prison
er. Toney Bones, also held for murder, nnd of
whom he mode a companion, that he had gone
over the plans for the defense with hls lawyers,
and that he was certain the coming trial would
not last more than seven weeks.
Bones Is an 18-year-old bootblack and news-
hoy, formerly known by hundreds of the crowds
that dally pass the entrance of the Brooklyn
bridge.
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw haa broken with her old
friend. May McKenxIe. Such was the rumor cur
rent today among those who know most about tho
condition of affairs In the Thaw family. According
to the report, yoqpg Mrs. Thaw, after years of
friendship, has thrown over her old chorus girl
chum at the behest of the heads of the Thaw fam
ily.
All during the trial May McKenzie sat beside
Evelyn Thaw, Sharing with her the hard work of
the frequent ■visits to th6 Tombs nnd some of the
preparation of the case.
They had been chums ever since they met. In
a Broadway chorus, nnd their friendship seemed
likely to continue, for May McKenzIo was the.one 1
who took care of Evelyn Nesblt and Harry Thaw
when they were turned oat of the CtaoWMld
Hotel, and Could not find any other lodging place.
It has been known for months, however, that the
other members of the Thaw family have been
bitterly opposed to the McKenxIe girl. They have
tried often to Induce Evelyn Thaw, to give heriup. .
Of late their efforts have proved successful.
Mrs. Thaw has a new friend, a Miss Spencer,
with whom she will probably sit during the com
ing trial. t

As a result of business differences
that arose two years ago, Fred E.
Dadd, the well known Atlantan, who re
cently returned from Nome, Alaska,

rietta-it., near the postoffice Monday
afternoon by Robert C. Howard, presi
dent of the Robert C. Howard Safe and

fore Recorder Broyles, be was fined
350.75 pml also bound over to the state
courts In bond of <200 on the charge
of assault and battery. The line was
promptly paid and the bond given.
Mr. Dadd was walking along the
street with Henry Schaul, the Jeweler,
at the tlm# of the trouble. Mr. How
ard hod Just emerged from the post-
office and saw Mr. Ladd for the first
time since the latter went to Alaska
two years ago. The men had Just met
and paused, without speaking, when
Mr. Howard las said to have suddenly
wheeled and struck Mr. Ladd, knocking
him (lawn. Tills was then rcpeute.l
twice In succession.
#fr. Ladd told Judge Broyles that the
attack was entirely unprovoked.-that
he did not even see Mr. Howard, and
had no Idea who had assaulted hhn un
til he waa knocked down.
Mr. Howard admlttod striking Mr.
Ladd, but said that he did so becau-
he waa afraid he would be killed. H
declared that two years ago the 1st
ter had threatened to,kill him on sight,
and that ho feared the threat would be
carried out. He said that as he pnseed
Mr. Ladd, the latter threw hls hand to
hls hip pocket. This Mr. Ladd denied.

bonds. Including first mortgnge bonds
of railroads which have never default
ed In thtlr Interest payments.

WEEK’S CRIMINAL RECORD
SHOWS REMARKABLE CHANGE
Comparison between the nrst week In
January, 1307. and the corresponding
week of the new year shows a wonder
ful decrease In the number of cases
tried before Recorder Broyles.
In the flrat week of last year •total of
442 cases were disposed of, 21 ot which
W During* the*flret week of thl. year,
thru the morning session of the court
Tuesday, a total of 215 cases had been
tried. Six cases are on the docket for
the afternoon court, making a total for
the week of 261—ill cases less than
for the same period of last year. Twen
ty-six Juveniles were tried this week
and are Included Id the totel.
The egoee for this week Includes all
ot those made on the lest night the
saloons were open, a total of about 12b
cases -being tried the day after pro
hibition went into effect. Even with
this big number of cases In ths list, the
total shows a remarkable slump. With
this nrst day cut out of the ngures, the
decrease would be decidedly more
marked.

SEN. CLAY HAS NOT
MADE ANNOUNCEMENT
From Sources Close to Gov
ernor Come Reports of
His Candidacy.
From sources vpry close to Governor
Smith come statements that' tho gov
ernor baa fully made up hls mind to
run for tha United States senate, and
that'an official announcement of that
fact will be forthcoming within a very
short time. >
The feet that Senator Clay hoe never
officially announced hls own candidacy
something that has caused general
comment among politicians oyer the
state. Last foil Senator Clay made a
quiet campaign over the state. Ho
spoko at many points, and shook hands
with thousands. That he Ik tacitly a
candidate to succeed himself Is gener
ally known, but tha fact that he haa
not announced for the office has creat
ed comment.
By many It Is believed that Senator
Clay Is simply awaiting a formal
declaration of Governor Smith’s Inten
tions. Politicians have contended that
Governor Smith's closest friends and
adherents have Insisted that ho remain
In the governorship until reforms un
der which hs was elected be accom
plished.
With the rumor of an extra session,
the talk about Ills possible candidacy
revived, hut now since It M practical
ly assured that-there will be no ex
tra session, that talk died out 'In part.
Hut It Is stated that Governor Smith
has fold a few Intimate friends that he
would bo a candidate for the sens-
torshlp.
How much foundation there le for a
revival of this talk remains to be seen
bj* developments—nnd the develop
ments are expected to come any day.

bat any such move.
A petition of protest, signed by 110
people living In DeKalb, Rockdale and
Newton counties, who use these trains
In coming to their work here nnd re
turning to their homes at night, was
presented to the commission. This
petition was reinforced by strong ver
bai statements of A. M. Brand, of
Llthonla, and Ed L. Sutton, of ClarkS'
ton.
If either of these trains are taken
off, scores of people living .at suburban
points along the Georgia road between
Atlanta and Conyers, who hare built
homes on ths strength of a contin
uance of the service, will be farced
to sell out at a sacrifice and remove
to Atlanta,” declared Mr. Sutton.
contend that Superintendent
Brand has not shown here that these
trains, either of them, does not pay,”
he continued. "The Covington train
has been operated ■ for nearly thirty
years, and ths Conyers train for ten.
The town ot'Clarkston was prat '
built up by the Georgia road,
sold lots and Induced people to locate
there and build homes. They did It on
the promise of continued suburban
service.
"If the Conyers train Is taken off and
the Covington train's tlma of departure
moved up to S o'clock. It will compel
many people, not a few nf them women
and girls who work In Atlanta, to
ret up at 4 o’clock and earlier, to
get here. They arrive about two
houre before -time for work, and must
stand around In the cold until stores
or offices are opened. Gentlemen, there
are many people to be considered In
this matter, and 1 hope you will not
allow the Georgia road to confiscate our
property by taking off either of theae
trains."
Superintendent Brand stated that
one of the trains was operated at
heavy loss, and that It was In the way
of economy to annul one of them. It
was no matter to the road which, but
In suggesting the Conyers train he
simply considered the best Interests of
all concerned. He said that the com
muters fell off from 130 In September
to 83 In December,
Mr. Button ■ contended that both
trains averaged 100 passengers a day,
and that now many had to stand until
they got to Atlanta. The commission
took the matter under advisement.

She galled from Antwerp December 7
for Halifax.
The vessel had almost reached her
port when she became disabled. When
battered, tossed, flung hither and thlth.
er by giant waves, her machinery be
came disarranged and her boilers be
gan to leak badly.
Mountainous seas pounded the ship
for days, smashing time, and again
over the bridge. The vessel wallowed,
strained and plunged.
The passengers, mainly emigrants
rrom southern Europe, became panic-
stricken. In the steerage the simple
lancL folk, thrown violently about the
ship, believed that every Instant the
ocean would roll In and the ship would
be swallowed. They prayed and raved
In turn.
Terror Reigned on 8hip.
For days terror reigned on the ship,
for It became known that Instead of
getting closer to land, the course trav
eled was being reduced. Everything
possible was done to quiet the emi
grants and a constant patrol was main
talned In the steerage quarter.
The crew suffered severely from
ficeslng weather. It was necessary for
a watch to remain on deck most- of the
time and the men worked with life
ropes fastened about their waists.

Nothing could be done In the way of
