tri, fV v il l be recalled, however, to answer a
e«nr' #lP hypothetical question. This question
jjrtfl im iud^ the statements of Dr. Deemar, the
Tl'.aw family physician, larding Thaw's early
diflfihood.
Timw had a quiet r.r--/ yesterday, his only
calier being Dan.el O'Reilly, of counseL With
Mr. O'Reilly. Thaw prepared a statement in
duplicate. B«JJt from Llewellyn Gilliland. of Van
V,'ori. Ohio, in which he denounced as an In
justice the stories which he said were sent
rut last s-jmrrer from Woo?ter. Ohio, where.
Gilinnnrt and the defendant were schoolmates
at ili* Woost<=r University. The s-tatement, com*
rlcte. as given by Thaw. Is as follows:
The college escapades of a man whose life is
rPcardM as a success are looked upon by the
world as good jokes; let thai same man after
ward fall from grace, and those same pranks
are regarded us crimes, and thus it is that the
escapades «>f Harry Thaw, who is now awaiting
trial in New York City for the slaying of Stan
ford White last sunnier on the roof of thai
nntcd architect's most famous structure, la be
ing iSepirted as a criminal, and lhal his career
es fucU RU begun while a lad In knee trousers
in his early eoUeg* dnys at Wooster. Ohio.
The misdeeds of *>vory student who went to
college within a radius of one hundred miles

ere laid at Is door. [I was the Injustice of those
who promulgated these stories and sent them

er. whence every bad story concerning Thaw's
early life was rend with eagerness by the public.
that piomrt^d LJewrtlyn GHUland, a prominent
tmslnejss man now living in Van Wen. Ohio.
whose integrity cannot be doubted, to seek an
Interview with your corresport3*nl that he
rnteht refute these stories published against
Tliaw.
Mr. Gilliland was for three years an intimate
friend of Thaw while at Wooster. Ing almost
continually with him when out of the class
room, occupying the sam a room with him many
times, and afterward knew him for a year or
laore 1n Pittsburg-
Mr. GillilaiTi raid he remembers nrly when
Tha? - raw"" '° Woosier. that he wore knee
yar.t?, and ma-le a pet of a miserable little stray
ring That he picked up and dabbed Rag. and
that he ->r>d th* -iop were almost constantly to
pether during the hours Thaw was not In the
rlasfTOoni. Thav waa a lover of tennis, and
Bpetit :nu<-h of his !<--isure lime with his friends
Ct this game. The report thai Thaw was known
pp "Mad Ilnrrj" and ?"Crazy Thaw" while In
F<-h°ol. Mr. Giniland s-ays. is not true; that tha
only nickname he ever responded to was that of
"Kid." n name given him Ity Dr. Van Taylor,
vh" now lives tn Columbus, nhio.
The alleged fondness of Thaw at this time for
ectress^s tvj»s evidently a "i lO dream*" of the
writer, for Mr. Gilliland said Ira never knew
Thaw to refer to or to speak of pu-'h peopl».
but, on the ,-ontrary, was modest and always
gentlemanly when In the presence of or speak
ing of r.-omen. .
As to Thaw's transactions with pawnbrokers,
Mr. GiMiiani states that he never seemed to
have any jev.elry and no more clothes than the
other students in his class, that lie was w^ll
provided with money for all necessary personal
expenses, and that he was no more lavish In its
expenditure (ban many of the other student*.
The daredevil exploit attributed to Thaw
about the perilous climb necessary to reach the
clock dial in the tower of one of the prin< !
buildings of the college jo decorate the same
with the head of ii donkey was a bit of college
history belonging to the life of a student named
Gllchrisi, who was a member <">f the class of '7*.
Mr. Thaw did assist in saddling the good Dr.
Black's cow one plcasasit Halloween night, and
leading her to the hitching post. As no «>ne
mounted the. animal, she suffered not at all. In
the morning Professor Black was almost as
pleased as surprised at this attention — to trie
cow. The Introduction of a Jackass to the Greek
Class, for which Thaw was also accused in the
papers, was a happening which never occurred
at Wooster. bit* actually transpired at the I'ni
versity of Oxford, at Oxford. Ohio, and for which
the late Senator Calvin Brice was always, but
wrongfully, accused.
During Mr. GUMand> four years' Intimate re
latlons!iip with Harry Thaw be says he never
kn«w him to use intoxicants, and the only time
fee remembers seeing Thaw smoke cigarettes was
when p. student named Al Fullerton, now living
In fopHn, Mo., gave him one Just to see Thaw
get pick from its effects. S
Mr. Gilliland says he never knew Thaw to act
other than the gentleman while he associated
with him, and cannot understand why such
stories have been circulated unless it is because
of the natural love- of human nature to kick at
a man when h<» Is down.

STEAMER A DERELICT.
The Skidd Sighted on Beam Ends
in Transatlantic Lanes.
According to a report brought here by the
steamers Bosnia and Patricia, both In yester
day from Hamburg, the Norwegian steamer
Skuld is drifting, a derelict, near the transat
lantic steamship lanes, and Is a great menace
to navigation.
The Skuld was on her beam ends when sighted
last Wednesday by the Bosnia In latitude 41.
north, longitude .%4.10 east. A white flag with
red disk, a signal word meaning "Yes." was fly
ing from the rigging when the Bosnia passed
her.
The Bosnia's crew could not sro any sign of
life aboard the Pkuld.
The steamer Patricia passed a British tramp
steamer on Wednesday which signalled: "Will
you take passengers?" The Patricia replied:
"Are you in need?" The tramp signalled back:
"No: proceed."
It is thought that the tramp steamer had
picked up the crew of the Skuld. The latter
st»a:ner was a freighter of 1,132 tons. She was
bound from Philadelphia for Rotterdam.

HOMO AX CONSUL OUT.
Resigns from Club Ibero- Americano
on Account of Article.
The Club [hero- Americano, the leading Span
ish-American social organization in the United
States, whose clubrooms are at the Hotel Marie
Antoinette, is again in trouble. This time it Is
over the Ntcaraguan-Houduran war.
It was some months »g'"» when the club was
scandalised by the operations of two gentleman
ly card sharpers, who took about $3.00^ in Amer
ican "dino-o" from the members and then sailed
for Paris. As a result of this affair two consuls
general of Central American republics In this
City withdrew from the membership. Yesterday
another consul general sent his resignation to
the secretary of the dub This official was Dr.
Salvador Cordova. Consul General of Honduras,
who resigns because the Ibero-Amerlcano has,
he sayw. sinne into Spanish -American politics.
The bylaws of tli» club state a man's na
tionality, religion or politics shall not bar
him from memKershlp, and as the diplomatic or
consular representatives of nearly all the Ijatin-
Amerlcan countries belong to the dub. It was
understood that ihere was to be nothing political
In It. Notwithstanding the several antagonist!?
Interests represented and the South Americans'
well known love for politics, the rule has worked
remarkably well uy to the present. But a few
days as-» diplomacy was «a?t to the, winds, and
with the same extreme that a man sometimes
goes to after a year's observance of a temper
nnc(> pledge the Ibero-Americano plunged Into
the war between Honduras and Nicaragua.
This move was In the form of an article pub
lished In the "Boietin Ibero-Americano." which
is the official organ of the club, arid has hitherto
also beon kept free <»f politics. The particular
nrtlde complained of by Dr. Cordova was no;
only political but was decidedly antl-Homkiran
To make matters worse, there appeared over thy»
article, which was reprinted from an American
paper, t he. headline. "Without Comment." It
t.tid nn*'insr ..ib<-r thine* that even Hotidurans
were Urcl-.t Ins: against their own country, and
that Americans In Honduras were compelled to
fle.» the republic for fear of being drafted Into
the army. AM these things, says I>r. Cordova.
sire not only ridiculous, but being printed in th
"n<iietin" constitute a personal affront to him
ns well as an injustice to the country which he
represents. So yesterday Dr. Cordova wrote his
resignation, which covered three pages Ii type
writing, nnd forwarder it to the secretary of the
Club [bero-Amerlcano.
In this communication the consul general, who
was one of th»> founders of the dub three j ear:-.
ago, Uocl.-.res that there Is no Insurrection in
his country, and that ihe Hondurans who were
in arms against iheir country were a few dia
cbntented politicians, ho are now fighting
with the Nicaraguans The story about the »■:"
foil to Impress Americans into the service he
characterizes as a bugaboo. He added to this
yesterday that Ins government had been com-
pelled to refuse the services of Americans who
had volunteered. Some of, these, he" said,
came to the consulate in this city to volunteer
their services. He ends by saying that as he has
paid his 'lues to date, which Article 7 of the by
laws makes necessary before a member can re
sign, he wishes his resignation to go into effect
Immediately.
The Editor of the "Bo'etln I bero- Americano"
•s Mariano Abril, a member of the Porto Rtean
benate. who attends to hla editorial duties when
the Legislature at San Juan is not In session.
Dr. Cordova sai>i yesterday that he could not
; . ■>v il for the publication of the article which
raused his resign/ition except by the suggestion
thr.t there was some animus behind it.
"With all the iif«s of the war on both Sid***
at band," he said, "they select this one article
disparaging to Honduras, which In my official
an'l private capacities 1 must resent."
LARGE LOAN REFUSED.
Nicaraguan President Declines Local

Beftor Plo Bolafloa, Consul tseueral of Nica

«.f organizing a committee to receive contribu
tions for the Tied Cross in Nicaragua.
It has been definitely learned that the l,OOl»
rifles seized a few days ago by th»- Nicaragua*.
government on board the American steamer
Cily of Para were purchased in this city by
Redolfo Q. Barthold, a commission merchant,
nt No. - Stone street.
Mr. Harthold is the fiscal agent in this city
for the Honduran government. Me bought I,<M>
Remington rlßes some time ago. which he
shipped to Amaiiala by way of Panama, where
the shipment was delayed. The arms cost
about $K>.o<«>. As they were not consigned to
the government of Honduras, however, but to
a German firm at Amapala. there was nothing
to indicate that they were for use In the war.
It Is said that such a seizure from an American
vessel of goods consigned to a German Arm is
not strictly In accordance with the rules of
war, and may cost Nicaragua many times th©
value of the cargo.
Honduras has also received war supplies lately
from Europe, Including several Hotchktss rapid
nre guns.

SURPRISE FOR THIEVES.
TWO HELD UP AT PIER.
Crossed Ocean on the Amcrika with
Stolen Jen-els Valued at $35,000.
"With all the assurance that suspicion had not
fallen upon them, and confident that the $35,000
worth of stolen jewels concealed about their re
spective persons would not be molested, two
well dressed men chatted pleasantly with fel
low passengers on board the. Hamburg
can liner Amerika yesterday as she came up
from Quarantine.
From the time the revenue cutter put the
customs officials aboard the big liner. Arthur
Preston Green, of New York, and Charles P.
Rohrer. of Philadelphia, were picked out by J.
O. Brazlnski. special agent of the Treasury De
partment, and closely watched. Persons with
whom the m»n held conversation were carefully
observed, and when Gr*»en and Rohr»»r gave
th»ir declarations a dozen pairs of eyes scruti
nized In an ostensibly casual way the amount of
dutiable goods each had declared.
Nor* aboard the Amerika. except the special
agents and the customs inspectors, knew th»
m a n to pa other than prosperous men returning?
from a business trip abroad, for as such they
had posed throughout the passage from South
ampton.
Brazinskl had made, several days ago. mental
note of the description of two alleged thieve?,
the information having been ?ent from Scotland
Tard to th« Jfew York Police Department, and
the names whidi accompanied the description
appeared yesterday on the Amerika' s passenger
list. Brazinski was sure of his men. and fol
lowed both as they came ashore on the Ham*
burg-American pier in Hohoken. The section
<r. under which the baggage of Green was put.
is some ninety yards away from section K.
where Jlohrer's bags and trunks were piled.
Special Agent Garribal attended the baggage ex
amination of Rohrer while Brazinskl looked out
for Green.
Detective Sergeants f>>esen and Aikman. who
were en th« pier to take Green and Rohrer to
headquarters after the customs officials had
mad» their seizure, were confident that pictures,
of the suspected men were in the gallery in
Mulberry Street.
Green, who had not th« l»ast suspicion that
any unusual attention was being bestowed on
bis examination, looked up Innocently at Bra
zinski wh»n the latter aaksd him i? he was, sure
he had nothing to declare.
"No: nothing whatever." h» said, without
turninj
"Have you any diamonds that you would Uko
to declare before you leave the pier?" said the
ac p n*.
i "Not thai I know of." said Green, shifting his)
weight from his left la his. right le?. thereby
chengine thf po.-ltlon of some $IO.»W> worth of
Jewels that were sewn along the seams of *,:3

Rohrer was brought over to where Green was
standing, and then th» two pa!s saw that they
were cornered. %sked if he ha'!- any diamonds
to declare. Rohrer said: "Tcf, I've got a few. I

Then both in- divested themselves of about
