i White Plains N Y Aug11 The
state t of New York won a complete vic
I tory over Harry K Thaw today when
4 Justice Isaac N Mills decided that the
1 slayer of Stanford White was still In
lUll and sent him back to the asylum
for the criminal insane at Matteawan
II
Defeated at All Points
1 I Not one of the many contentions nuu e
h ly Thaw dining the three weeks of his
recent hearing was sustained He is
1 however somewhat better off than be
fore he brought the present suit be
auK Justice Mills In his decision sug
gests and the suggestion amounts prac
tically to orders that Thaw at Mattea
nan be restored to the privileges he
i enjoyed during the first three months
R of his stay there and that his mother
be allowed all the possible privileges
and treated with every consideration
I when she calls to see him
Thaw will remain in the jail at least
until tomorrow when his attorney will
be given a chance to make any formal
motions before Justice Mills at his
i Chambers in Mont Vernon N Y
t The prisoner took tile decision coolly
His only statement W88 a denial of the
assertion in the courts opinion that
he tttill cherished ue same delusions
that drove him to shoot White
Writ Dlsmtesed
j
I In formal language Justice Mills derision
I vision dismissed the writ of habeas cor
i pus under which Thaw applied for his
I liberty and remanded him to the cus
t tody of the defendant Or Robert B
d LMM superintendent of Xattsvwa
state hospital
It In ranttMOK thai Ttow fa now
s sane the mart gives Hint lmport
t i to his family and childhood history
His determination that the prisoner has
a
not yet recovered is based principally
IS
on the opinion of Dr Amos Baker as
sistant superintendent of Matteawan
t I i
asylum
All such authorities says Justice
Mills are public officers with no con
ceivable motive except to do their duty
The court says it was more convinced
by the testimony of the alienists called
for the state than by that of the pris
e oners experts Regarding Dr Britton
D Evans he says
He experienced great difficulty In
reconciling his present opinion with his
previous attitude in connection with the
I homicide trials and to my mind did not
entirely succeed in so doing
i Thaw Made Bad Impression
i i Thaw evidently made a bad impres
sion on the judge by his actions both on
t and off the witness stand
The opinion calls particular attention
to Thaws facial appearance especially
during the last afternoon of the testi
mony when for twenty minutes he
spoke in justification of his extrava
gant belief as to Whites conduct with
t a certain woman
The Mother Pitied
An unusual paragraph In Justice
Muls opinion is devoted to Mrs Mary
Copley Thaw the prisoners mother
The court says
While paying this regard to Dr Baker
the court is by no means satisfied with
the treatment which Thaw has received
t I at Matte wan since his return there in
October last fter his unsuccessful at
tempts in the courts then to obtain his
freedom No one could help being greatly
moved by the manifestly unfeigned dis
tress of t r mother when as a witness
she narrated that treatment telling how

Idaho Settler Said Things
Might Happen to Spokane
in the Future
WASHINGTON POWER
COMPANY DENOUNCED
DR PARDEE TOOK ANOTHER
FALL OUT OF BALLINGER AT
THE CONVENTION
Spokane Wash Aug 1lJohn Nib
son former United States senator from
Washington and John Larson million
aire banker of Chicago today came to
the defense of Secretary fit the Interior
Ballinger before the National Irriga
tion congress and succeeded keeping
the socalled BalllngerPhichot feud
in the public eye
Discussion about the hotels last night
seemed to indicate that both aides of
the reclamation
controversy were con
tent to let matters rest notwithstand
ing the rumors that the Ballinger sup
porters intended to make a detailed re
ply to the charges otferftd by Former
Governor George C Pardee of Califor
nia
The forepart of todays session did
not offer seemingly the proper open
ing for a continuation of the trouble
until Dr Pardee rose to question a
statement made by the speaker Dr
Pardee warmed to his subject to s ch
an extent that soon he had brought in
his charges against Secretary BaRinger
and again accused that official of per
mitting the opening for entry of valua
ble water power sites
Specific Charges Demanded
This brought Mr < arson to his feet
asking Dr Pardee if he meant to in
sinuate that the secretary was dishon
est With Dr Pardees reply that he
meant no such accusation the incident
was dropped only however after sev
eral other Ballinger supporters had
taken occasion to demand specific
charges of the Californian
The afternon session was hardly un
der way when W W Ferrell of Fer
rell Ida took the floor and during the
time allowed for discussion attacked
I
severely the Washington Power
com
pany the concern which supplies
power to the city of Spokane At the
expiration of his fiveminute tHak
lowance there were cries from fi1ltitlrUi l
of the building for Mr Farrtil to Go
O I
A eb 4aken and finally Oft Ida
bqr peltered ettfdi
be id d inlet roughandready fashion
that brourb repeated cheers
What May Happen
I have been a settler in Idaho for
twentyfive years he shouted and
there are many who have lived there
with me during that time They have
worked hard to make homes And now
after a quarter of a century the Wash
ington Power company one of the
many which threaten our very lives
has dammed up our valley overflowed
our lands drowned out our crops and
many are about to lose their very
means of livelfiood Im not an an
archist and I want to see the law
obeyed but I want to say that there
are men in my town Mho will smash
that dam with dynamite knd send a
fortyfoot wall of water down this val
ley and what will happen to Spokane
will make the Johnstown flood look like
I
a common shedding of tears if some
thing is not done
The old man trembled with excite
ment as he spoke and cheers and cries
of Good followed his outburst The
chairmans gavel stopped him
Defense of Ballinger
Former Senator Wilson of Washing
ton was seemingly in a less bellicose
mood He started reading from a type
written manuscript but it became evi
dent as he proceeded that he had some
thing on his mind aside from type
written paper Suddenly he flung aside
the notes on Irrigation peaceful homes
and deserts that blossom as the rose
There may > e those that who do
wrong in this land he shouted There
may be water power companies that
disobey the law But I want to say
here that I stand for Richard A Bal
linger and I shall hear no man say he
is dishonest l
T too am an early settler I have
n suffeinc toil peace and happiness

Argument i m the t Sutton
Case
r
Annapolis iW Aug UThe court of
Inquiry investigating the death of Lieu
tenant James N Sutton jr entered to
day upon what was expected to be the
final day of presentation of testimony
Dr Edward K Schaefer of Washing
ton called as an expert on gunshot
wounds resumed the stand
Mr Birney counsel for Lieutenant Ad
ams crossexamined the witness and had
him take a position on the counsel table
similar to that occupied by Lieutenant
Sutton on the ground when tbe fatal shot
was fired and repeat with a service re
volver a demonstration the witness gave
yesterday of the difficulty of firing under
the circumstances
Dr Shsefer again declared that with
service revolver and under the condi
tions Lieutenant Sutton could not have
shot himself
Could Not Be Shaken
Mr Birney repeatedly endeavored to
make the witness say tae bullet night
have inflicted the scalp wound and then
tipped up and finished its course
through the skull Dr Schaefer said it
would be moat unlikely Mr Blrney then
directed his efforts to the dlscredibiiity of
the witness as an expert on wounds from
bullets
Lieutenant Adams again pantomimed
the shooting of Lieutenant Sutton the
scene being reenacted on the floor of
the court room with Lieutenants Utley
and Osterman and Sergeant Dehart plac
ing themselves upon him Lieutenant
Adams pulled the trigger of a service re
volver but Dr Schaefer declared he
could not thus have inflicted a wound
duplicating the one which killed Sutton
This closed the testimony
No Government Argument
Thereupon Major Leonard stated that
the government had no argument to sub
mit He outlined the efforts of the gov
ernment to lay before the court every
shred of testimony touching the case
This having been done he said he would
not offer any argument unless compelled
by something that might be said by the
attorneys or other parties to the investigation

While it had not been the intention

at > oclock yesterday afternoon that
roils be called for nominations and that
elections immediately follow as a spe
cial order of business was carried and
the above officers were elected before
the meeting adjourned at 630 last even
ing
The election of Former Governor
Samuel R Van Sant of Minnesota was
by an overwhelming majority In fact
the roil was not fully called Before
the end was reached the only other can
didate Judge William A Ketcham of
Indianapolis Ind interrupted received
the attention of the chair and grace
fully accorded the election to his oppo
nent amid the resounding cheers of the
delegates
The election of Van Sant was an
nounced by the chair and he was
brought to the front by Ketcham and
in a few words thanked the comrades
for the honor they had conferred upon
him and promised to give the Grand
Army his entire time and attention
during his term of office
During the election of officers tIM ut
most harmony prevailed except during
the nomination for senior vice com
mander which office as is customary
with the G A R fell to Utah the en
tertaining state
Tries to Upset Custom
During the calling of the roll of de
partments for nominations George B
Squires of Salt Lake City presented the
me of J W Bostaph of Ogden as
Utahs candidate Colonel R B Beath I
of Philadelphia commander of the de
partment of Pennsylvania made a vig
orous protest against the practice of
giving the office of senior vice com
mander to the entertaining state He
claimed it was wrong in principle He
stated that he did not wish to cast any
reflections on the capability of the man
who had been nominated but said that
he had been against the idea for years
and called attention to the fact that
when the encampment had been held In
Philadelphia the department of Penn
sylvania to show their disapproval of
the custom had refused when the time
came to present a candidate for the of
fice
James Tanner of Washington praised
the war record and the civil career of
the candidate named but supported
Colonel Beaths contention that the
practice was wrong He aid the de
partment of Utah was small and that
the delegates should consider the possi
bility of this departments candidate
having to assume the duties of com
manderinchief Their arguments
howeer seemed not to be popular with
the delegates as a whole as there were
no other nominations made Utahs can
didate was therefore declared elected
unanimously
Three candidates were nominated for
junior vice commander Alfred B Beers
of Connecticut John W Stebbins of
Vermont and William H Homarlay of
Oklahoma but one ballot gave the Of
fice to the Connecticut man by an over
helmine majority
