Minneapolis Congressman Denies
Andrus Aided in Getting P.
O. Appropriation.
FLAYS THE JOUROTAL
FOR ITS STATEMENTS
Nevertheless and Notwithstanding,
Mr. Andrus Did Sftecure
the Money.
INCREASED TO $350,000
Washington,' June 28.The senate
committee on public buildings and
grounds today increased to $350,000
the $250,000 appropriation by the
house for a new postoffice for Mln
n*upolls. The Increase is a result
of the efforts of Senator Nelson.
$
By W. W. Jermane.
Washington, June 28.Representa-
tive Loren Fletcher of Minneapolis
takes serious and rather profane and
abusive exceptions to statements re
cently made in this correspondence to
the effect that Representative Andrus
of Yonkers, N Y., a member of the
house committee on public buildings
and grounds, was of the slightest as
sistance to him in securing the appro
priation for the proposed new Minne
apolis postoffice building.
Mr Fletcher wanted an opportunity
to go back home and represent to his
constituents that he had secured the
appropriation all by bimselfv perhaps
in the face of the opposition of the
eommittee led on by Mr. Andrus, and
possibly in the face of the opposition
of the speaker himself.
What Mr. Andrus Did.
Such a statement would reflect ad
ditional glory on "Your Uncle," but
It would be untrue.
Mr% Andrus, as a member of the
committee, was in position where he
could by a word of objection have
eliminated Minneapolis from the bill.
He didn't object, but, on the other
hand, he assisted in every way pos
sible.
This assistance Mr. Fletcher cheer
fully accepts, so far as this city and
the house of representatives are con
cerned, but for purposes of Minneap
olis consumption he has been very
anxious to have the word go forth
that he got the appropriation all by
himself.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Stevens of
The Journal's Washington bu
reau saw Mr. Fletcher for the purpose
of ascertaining from him in person
whether it was his intention again- to
be a candidate for congress.
rietchpr. without replying to thepaies
tion, began to denounce his inter
rogator, and the language he used,
while picturesque, would not do for
repetition in a family newspaper such
as The Journal.
Fletcher Says He's "It."
Mr. Fletcher wound up the interview
by saying that he would have every
body understand -that, by the great
horn spoon, he and not Mr. Andrus, was
representing the Minneapolis district,
and that when that district got any
thing in congress it got it thru him and
not thru ontsiders.
But, "nevertheless and notwithstand
ing. as Senator Vest used to say when
telling one of his choicest stories, Mr.
Andrus did help get the Minneapolis
appropriation, and but for that help* Mr.
Fletcher would not now have anything
xipon which to base his campaign for
another nomination.
Representative Andrus, in speaking
to The Journal correspondent to
day, after outlining -what he had done
in the committee this session to help
along the Minneapolis postoffice appro
priation, said that he was a good friend
of Minneapolis, and would continue to
do everything he could to forward her
interests.
"Nothing was said to him about the
claim made by Fletcher that he (Fletch
er) had secured the postoffice appro
priation without assistance, and so Mr.
Andrus had no opportunity to discuss
that phase of the question.

Minneapolis Out of It When New York
Congressman Took Hold.
When Congressman John E. Andrus
of Yonkers, N. Y., took up the cudgel
for the Minneapolis $250,000 postoffice
appropriation, the opportunity was
practically dead. This is the version
given bv S. S. Thorpe, who was in
Washington when the matter was in
committee, and prepared the compara
tive figures which Mr. Andrus used
so effectively in establishing Minne
apolis' claims to recognition by con
gress.
Thes subcommittee on Minnesota had
made its report, ignoring Minneapolis,
to the general committee on buildings
and grounds, of which Mr. Andrus is
a member. Mr. Andrus at the time
said that Minneapolis was out of it.
Because the members of* congress are
such great sticklers for the integrity
of subcommittee reports. Mr. Andrus
had great difficulty in resuscitating
the proiect for securing a $250,000 ap-
roTriatio for a new postoffice for
Minneapolis.
Mr. Thorpe prepared a skeleton set
of figures from government postoffice
records, showing what Minneapolis was
doing in the way of business for the
government with an insufficient plant.
Mr. Andrus saw at once that it was
jfood stuff and urged Mr. Thorpe to
elaborate, the table as presented in
Journal. Tuesday-. With this cud
gel Mr. Andrus succeeded in getting
the Minneapolis appropriation taken up
again, after efforts of Congressman
Fletcher had failed.

who was supposed to be near death of
*ome ailment. When the mother and
the servant returned they found, the
girl in bed, where they hid left her,
but the bed and room were spattered

the screams of the girl. Coming down
from their beds, they saw a man with

Dramatic Suicide.' of Lotz at

Special t The Journal.
Hutchinson, Minn., June 28.Failing
in "an^ attempt to murder Miss E. Dun
bar at the Great Northern passenger
station last evening, Edward Lotz of
Stillwater, who had arrived in town a
moment before, shot himself thru the
temple" and fell dead on the platform
before crowd of panic-stricken Spec
tators.
The7
attempted murder and suicide oc
curred, eatly in the evening just after
the train* from the cities had ar
rived. *v
X(ot arrivedtwin on the train and
Miss Dnnhar and her aunt, Mrs. Kai
ser, had gone to the station, evidently
to meet^nxm. A he alighted from -the
train the- women walked up to nun and
started to talk.
Suddenly the young woman stepped
aw^y from them exclaiming, ''"Well,
what-of^it!" She then started to walk
down- the platform.
Tries to Murder Girl.
She had gone but a few yards when
Lotz, angered by her parting remark,
jerked a revolver from his pocket and,
without warning, fired at her "back, but
did not bit her. The usual throng who
had been to meet the train started to
run except two or three men who ran
toward the would-be murderer, intend
ing to overpower him.
Before they could reach him, how
ever, he had placed the revolver to his
head and fired two shots in rapid suc
cession. One bullet went thru the brim
of his hat, but the other entered his
head at the temple, causing instant
death.
Probably Planned It.
Miss Dunbar was at once removed
from the scene, while the police took
charge of the body and summoned -Coro
ner Orlando Simons of Glencoe. He
pronounced an inquest unnecessary and
turned the remains over to an under
taking establishment. "When the body
of the young man was searched three
letters and some money were found.
The letters were addressed to Mrs. J. D.
Lotz, and G. H. Grant of Stillwater and
John Vigor, St. Paul. The contents of
the letters was not made public, but
it is thought that Lotz had planned
the tragedy and had settled his affairs
beforehand.
Lotz was a telephone lineman, but
was out of employment at the time of
his death. He was in Hutchinson last
Sunday and those who knew him. say
he attempted a reconciliation with Miss
Dunbar, with whom he had been keep
ing company. His parents live in Still
water and his remains were taken there
today for burial.
Miss Dunbar is well known in Hutch
inson and her relatives are old resi
dents of the town.

8TAH70BS WHITE,
The New York Arohitoot and Bon
Vivant Killed by Barry K. Thaw.
Journal Special Service.
New York, June 28.'The murder of
Stanford White last Monday night by
Harry Thaw is going to bring about a
war on moral perverts in New York.
Anthony Comstock of the Society for
the Pfevention of Vice, has alreadv be
gun work en this erusade, as Harry
Thaw had taken him into his confidence
two weeks before the murder.
I will drii*e every moral pervert out
of New York said Mr. Comstock last
night.
"Let me Tepeat that the moral per
vert must go. The murder n Stan
foril White/h^f* ga^ea^ nvan* opening
^etSfce-that we-have iongjiueeeea.^*y,i)z-

Tne investigation must oxtr
%QW
to the bitter end. without fear or fa
vor, no matter how'lSehr or how promi
nent or how brilliant the perverts roay
be. The trails will lead into the most
exclusive clubs and many a man who
has been generally held in the highest
esteem must be tumbled into the mire-,
where he belongs.
"It all the-things-I have heard about
Stanford White or half of th6ra, even,
are' true"/ he richly deserved kis fate at
the hands ef young Thaw.
White's StndioTft Dive.
Complaint was made to me about a
year ago of the vile .proceedings in his
studio in the
tower- oruite
Garden.-
Madison Square
W were certain that
voung girls- were being led thefe to thefr
ruin.
"The outrage of such behavior on
the part of a man of-White's wealth
and prominence impressed the society,
and two men were detailed to watch the
studio. That this might be done more
effectively, an attempt was made to
rent a studio in the tower, but this
proved impossible. The only reason
White was not arrested for these esca
pades was that the evidence was not
complete.
"Thaw called on me several weeks
ago to-tell me of White. He explained
hi9 own trouble and told of many young
girls whom White had ruined. He cited
various instances and declared he had
the proof. He was much worked up
over the whole affair and the news of
the tragedy was not a great surprise
to me.
Thaw as Reformer.
I really believefthat Thaw was ac
tuated by the very best of motives in
this matter. I agreed with him, when
we discussed, it, that moral perverts
should 1 driven out of the city and.
that every effort should be put for
ward to protect joung girls from these
rich and influential men.''
Mr. Comstock was unable at the time
to give the names and dates of the
cases cited bv Thaw in his complaint
against Stanford White. They were
witji the other .records of the society
in his Nassau street office. He offered
to give the fullest investigation to any
evidence of perversion which,the news
.papers might bring to him.
As the authorities begin to probe into
the private life of White, they no longer
marvel that he was shot down last Mon
day night,
"w Giris Victims of Clubmen. .1
The investigation has already shown
that there is an organized band of rich
clubmen and artists who make victims
of voung girls of the stage, of the shops
and of tlie "poorer homes Their treat
ment 0* these girls, many of them mere
children, is too brutal fof description.
"Little parties," is the way the de
votees love to characterize their revels.
The police are now probing for details
as-to the hosts and guests at the "lit
tle parties."
Chief among the episodes recalled
last night in the Tendetloin,'in which
Stanford White and his band of cronies
in social, and so-called "art" circles
figured so prominently, were the din
ners given by two of his closest
friends, James Lawrence Breese, the
society artist, and Robert Reid, the
noted clubman and ecclesiastical dec
orator*

THE CORONER'S JURY

lt Says White Met His Death
at tbi&* Haaids of -M~*jk
New York, June 28.Harry Kendall
Thaw, he young Pittsburg millionaire ,,^r
who shot and killed Stanford White,fe
one of New York's leading architects^
at the Madison Square roof garden,^
Monday night, has been indicted.
The grand jury has formally charged
him with murder in the first degree^?"
the penalty for which in New York i'*
uhe eleetrio ehair.
This action by the grand jury closely^ i
followed action by the coroner's jnrjrf'j
in the White inquest, which declared
that White came to his death by
gunshot wounds inflicted by Thaw.
Lawrence Testifies.
The most important testimony at the
inquest was given by Lionel Lawrence,
stage director at the Madison Square
roof garden. Lawrence said that im
mediately after the shooting, Mrs.
Thaw rushed up to her husband and,
throwing her arm around his neck,
said: "Never mind, Harry, I will
stick to you thru thick and thin."
Thaw turned to the crowd which sur
rounded them and said, "That
ruined my wife and I got him and
I fixed him for it."
Mrs. Tnaw Before Grand Jury.'
Soon after the close of the coroner's
inquest the proceedings against Thaw
were begun before the grand iury.
At noon Mrs. Harry EL Thaw
tered the grand jury room. She was
accompanied by her counsel, Judge Ol
eott and Terrence McManus.
Mrs. Thaw remained in the grand
jury room about fifteen minutes. She
then left in company with her hus
band's counsel, and together they went
to the Tombs to visit the prisoner.
Mrs. Thaw reached a decision this
morning not to testify before the grand
jury, but when called she went before
that body.

The legal question of what testi
mony a wife may or may not give
against her husband is important in
Thaw's ease. Raider the old eommon
law a "vHfe could not be compelled to
give any evidence against her hus-,
band, but the revised penal code o th%*t
state of lj|ew York modified this abso
lute barrier. Section 715 provides as
follows:
Tte husband or a wife of a per"
son indicted or accused of a crime is
in all cases a competent witness at the
examination or trial of such person,
but neither husband nor wife can be
compelled to -disclose a confidential
communication made by one to the
other during the marriage."
The district .attorney's office com'
pleted the 'examination of the more
important witnesses so far discovered
yesterday and immediately shifted Its
attention to the investigation of tne
relations existing between Evelyn
Nesbit an -Stanford Whjte prior to
the girl's marriage and the, attitude
assumed by Thaw after he had made 1
her his wife.
Mrs. Thaw has been instructed fey
her husband's counsel to ,furnish to
him evert scrap of writing she has
from "Wafte. She nag -promised to^rafc
for more of the letters.
White Heavily Insured.
A man connected with the Bqtritaijw
Life Assurance society said last night
that Stanford White's life was insured
in that company for $199,000 by poli
cies taken out at various times in the
{iast twenty years. During that pexiod,
was said, Mr. White paid to the
Equitable $90,000 in premiums. All of
the policies were made payable to his
.K
Coroner's Hearing. '%!$
Thaw passed a rather restless night
in his cell in the Tombs. He seemed
in fairly good spirits when he arose,
and after a careful toilet ate his
breakfast with relish.
The ooroner-Ht inquest began at 10:80
ajn. When Coroner Dooley azxiwd
Thaw -was brought in.
Nicholas L. Stokes, a wealthy eeal
dealer, was foreman of too cotontr^
The coroner's physician, T. D. Le
han who performed the autopsy an
White's body, declared that death was
caused by a gunshot wound in tfcs
right eye.
Edward H, Conway, a foreman Jtt
laborers at Madison Square Gardea,
Said that he saw both White and Thaw
the night of the murder. He deeeribsd
Thaw's movements, saying that Thaw
had passed him twice, going back aad
forth behind the table at which White
sat. The second time Thaw approached
White's table he saw Thaw extend his
arm and then three shots followed in
quick succession. White fell, and a
fireman seized Thaw, who was walk
ing away, and took away the revolver.
Conway said Thaw's eyes were "bulg
xns surd, ciliatedr, aa his face -was
white.
Afte thd shooting Conwayyvx
heard him Bay: "He ruined my wife
and I did it.1
In the Elevator.
Warner Paxton, an engineer who ac
companied the prisoner and Mrs. Thaw
down in the elevator, said that Mrs.
Thaw said*/
"Look at the fix you have pushed
yourself into now."
"It'8 all right, dearie I have prob
ably saved your life,-" was Thaw's
reply.
Anthony L. Debes, the policeman who
arrested Thaw, said the prisoner was
very cool and calm before, he was taken
from .the -building.
"Did you notice anything irrational
about himf" asked the assistant dis
tricts-attorney.
