"Now go, and .be damned careful.
White Sneered at Qirl.
The third meeting was that at the

face.
"I’ll Get You," 8a!d Thaw.
"You ; I'll get you for those
words,” he said.
Later, as White passed the Thaw ta
ble, he tapped Mrs. Thaw familiarly on
the shoulder and said something to her
which no one else heard. It was then
that she wrote the note to her husband
In which she said:
"That dirty blackguard Is here."
In confirmation of all this Is the com

of White, She said:
"I think Harry did Just right,
think he did a noble act. The world
"hould be rid of men like Stanford
White.
"I tried to persuade Stanford Whits
to cease his pereecuation of me, but
could not.. For a time I thought I had
succeeded, but every time I came with

"I loved Harry and wished to get en

efforts to see me and make appoint

conference the lawyers refused to talk,
but Inspector Schmlttberger said:
"There have been many develop

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 27.—Major C.
A. Williamson, who Is connected with
the mechanical department of the Pan

city yesterday after a prolonged stay
on the Isthmus.
"About the most Interesting move
ment that Is now going on In the re-
public of Panama,”. he said, "Is the
chance of a revolution. It Is brewing,
and I would not be surprised If It oc
curred at any time. I left there on the
llth of this month, and then the streets
of Panama were filled with men of the
opposing parties, the Conservatives and
Liberals, and they were expressing
their opinions in their Latin way. All
that Is required Is a man to shoulder
a shotgun and march down the street
and the revolution Is on.
"It may end as usual In the theatrical
way that signalises all of the uprisings
In those ’Panama countries, then again
It may not, for association with the
crowd of Americans now on the Isth
mus may have given the little people
new Ideas of government. •
"Just to show the gameness that the
Panaman possesses. I have but to refer
to the desperate pistol duel that was
fought by two policemen over a wom
an In one of the plasas In Panama.
They held their revolvers within one
foot of one another's bodies and then
kept on firing until both were killed.

New York, June 27.—J. Ogden Ar.
mour, head of one of the largest
Chicago meat packing houses, who re
turned yesterday from Europe, Issued
statement In which he scores the
federal Investigation and report on
conditions In the packing houses. He
says:
“One of the largest American In
dustries has been attseked and at
tacked without reason. In a way that
has' discredited American goods of all
kinds abroad. All over Europe there
Is open agitation for a boycott on
American products.
"The entire export trade of this
country has been badly damaged. To
estimate the total loss now would be
merely guess work. It may run Into
the hundreds of millions. When
American Industries are slandered by
persons who pretend to speak as
Americans, It Is to be expected that
foreign competitors will take advan
tage of It.
"But the American meat Industry
can not be destroyed by Socialist ag
itators, political revolutionists, stump
speakers, sensational Journalism, run
ning amuck. The packers will wel
come any good Inspection law and any
suggestion for Improvement."
