If T had hit any one, do you think I would be here?” When the police told him that a piece of fur and a woman’s barrette were found on the car, he insisted he was not guilty of the accident. “I won't talk, any way. until my lawyer gets here," he then declared. The lawyer advised silence. Brock, who is thirty-six years old, is a member of the banking firm of Sinkler and Brock. After being lock ed in the cell, he sat on the bench with his head buried In ids hands. ART COLLECTION SOLD BY JAMES W. ELLSWORTH Man Who Offered to Rebuild Home Town in.

WARDER RESIDENCE TDDEPRESERVED Architectural “Gem ” Saved From House Wreckers, to Stand In Garden. . BUILDING A WORK OF ART Portions of Structure Will Be Ex hibited p.t National Museum. Desiring to save from house wreckers th© architecturally famous B. H. Warder residence, which must give way to the new Insurance build ing at the northwest corner of IBth and K streets, Maj. George Oakley Totten, Jr., local architect, has pur chased practically the entire struc ture and will re-erect it In the gar- I don of his home, at 2033 16lh street | northwest, it was learned today. The fine old stone dwelling, said to be one of the outstanding ex amples of the archltectual genius of Hie late Henry Hobson Richardson, regarded as a leader in the Meld of architecture of his day, may serve as the homo of a foreign embassy or legation, Maj. Totten said. At any rate, the building will be preserved Intact as designed by Mr. Richardson, with Us graceful exterior and won derfully decorated rooms. Exhibit at Museum. Two portions of the building, how ever, were not acquired by Maj. Tot ten and will be displayed in th© Na tional Museum or the National Gal- j lery of Art, It was stated. These are! the massive hand-carved white holly] mantelpiece of the "holly room" and i the front entrance, including the I stone archway and Hie door. It is understood that Dr. Holmes of the National Gallery of Art has arranged to exhibit the mantelpiece in the gal lery, while the doorway donated by the contractor engaged to raze the house, R. P. Whltty, will be placed in th© courtyard of the National Mu seum. Threatened effaccment of Richard son's work recently aroused local architects to form a committee for tho preservation of such architect ural ’’gems’’ and plans were discussed for raising a fund to purchase such paxts of the Warder residence as were deemed representative of the whole scheme. Maj. Totten’s move will preserve th©. building complete, except for minor parts, which he will duplicate. Features of House. Features of the house are the white mahogany living room, the red ma hogany dining room with its Numid lan marble arches, the white holly dining room, delicately carved by students of Richardson, under his personal supervision; the quartered oak staircase, colonnaded reception hall, etc. It is claimed that no ex pense was spared in making the house a model of residential archi tecture. Richardson is said to have been the only American architect who devel oped what might be called a style of his own. Among buildings he de signed were Trinity Church, in Bos ton; the senate chamber and city hall at Albany, Sever and Austin Halls and the Law School at Har vard University, etc. SEES PUCE IN El BY ST. PATRICK’S BAY American Trade Booster Meets Little Enthusiasm in Ireland. By the Associated Press. LONDON, March 2.—A dispatch to th© Press Association from Dublin says that Francis J.

Mr. lx>we will neek Interviews with members of the government and the republicans, tho dispatch adds. He predicts peace by St. Patrick’s day, but his optimism apparently is not generally shared In Dublin. Mr. Lowe's proposals include the appointment of Karnonn De Valera as registrar of a university or head of Its commission, to be built on Tara Hill, according to the dispatch. PAPER IS LUKEWARM. By the Associated Press. DUBLIN, March 2—The visit of Francis J. Lowe, secretary of the American Organization of Friends of the Irish Free State, who has arrived in Dublin on a mission of peace and trade, and who predicts peace by St. Patrick’s day, is commented upon un favorably by the Freeman’s Journal today. Mr. Lowe's proposals Include the appointment of Eamonn De Valera as registrar of a university or head of Its commission, to be built on Tara Hill: the stopping of executions and the freedom of prisoners on probation. The business corporations Mr. Lowe represents are prepared to give the Free State credit, but not a loan of money, he says. The Freeman’s Journal says: "We are willing to make allowances for the enthusiasts who mean well to Ireland, but the enthusiasm of F. U. Lowe is a little too much for us. The short cuts whereby he proposed to achieve the regeneration of Ireland leaves us. we confess, dazed and breathless. “De Valera running a national mu seum on the hill of Tara, members of flying columns sorting themselves into college classes and tho desert blossoming like the rose at the be hept of American millionaires are all eminently desirable things. Accord ing to Mr. Lowe, we can get them as soon as we like, after making peace. ’’We fear that his proposals on this head will not commend themselves to our die-hards, and. while It may be pleasant to contemplate an Ireland In which we should pay no taxes on tea or tobacco, because American syndi cates are pining, in Mr. Lowe’s words, •to shoe, feed and smoke the people of Ireland,’ we have our doubts if these philanthropists are really going to change Ireland in the near*future.” FEAR LEADER IS ENTOMBED.

LpJNDON, March 2.—-Tho search by Irish Free State troops for the rebel leader Bofln and his followers in the fastnesses of th© Arigna mountains is continuing, says the Belfast corre spondent of the Evening News, but it Is possible that the rebel commander may be entombed with several com rades In a coal mine th© entrance to which was blown up by their pur suers. Th© Free Staters found that the rebels were hiding in disused mines which had been fitted up for habitation, set off a charge of explosives, sealing the entrance to one mine in which several men, one of them possibly Bofln, were thought to have taken refuge.

APPEARS MORE CALM Slayer Never Speaks of Wife, Over Whom He Was Committed to Insane Ward. Speciti D,«patcb to The Star. PITTSBURGH, March 2.—Harry Kendall Thaw, after eight days in Pittsburgh, is preparing to return to his indefinite confinement in the Pennsylvania Hospital for Mental and Nervous Diseases, at Philadelphia. Thaw has been attending the thea- | ter and church as any sane, normal person might. There have been no testrictions upon his movements, save those that would have prevented his eighty-year-old mother from ac companying him. For Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, she of the millions, who bared her soul on the witness stand that her boy might escape the electric chair, and told of the "taint” of Insanity which had come down to him, has been with her "boy" wherever he has gone thus far during the tea days' vacation the court extended to him. ,ind while there have been no re strictions. there always have lurked In the background two watchful at tendants from the Philadelphia in stitution. There could have been no vacation without this chaperonage. but it is safe to say that Thaw has not felt their presence, their re straint, any more than the President of the United States feels the watch ful care of the trained secret serv ice men who guard him from harm wherever he may go. Mrs. Thaw has walked proudly be side him, much of her former hauteur having returned to her since Harry came home, came to the life that his mother would have him lead through all the years he has wasted. As a boy Harry was always pampered. His mother sought always to shield him from harm. Improved Physically. Thaw physically has improved dur ing the recent years he has spent behind restraining locks and bars. A great calm seems to have come to his troubled soul. He has the appear ance. the bearing and the dignity now of a man of business. He has gained in weight. His hair is gray. There is not a wrinkle in the well rounded face. His step is quick. In his face there Is no suggestion of the furtiveness that marks the con victed man; none of the extreme nervousness which characterized him earlier In his life. Smartly attired, with no suggestion of & "let down” In any part of his make-up, Thaw would pass In any ccgnpany as a nor mal man of the fifties. His appearance and manner have led many of hts friends to suggest to the Thaw family that they make another effort at this time to have Harry freed from further commit ment on the ground that he has en tirely recovered his senses and his poise. But so far as known the family has turned a deaf ear to these temptations. Mrs. Thaw on more than one occasion has proved that she would give her last penny to save her son, but between that son and freedom the alienists—the men who claim they can definitely trace the shadowy line between the normal and the abnormal mind—stand today as they have stood for sixteen years. Thaw lives in the greatest comfort at the asylum. He is provided with everything that unlimited means and the rules of the Institution permit, and, under care of his guardians, his fortune Is Increasing rapidly. So there is still the chance that some day he may be liberated. During the time he has spent at “home” Thaw has been surrounded by every loving thought and care. Mrs. Thaw has felt that with more of the freedom of home, and away from the white lights of Broadway, there Is always the hope that her influence may banish from his mind forever the weird phantoms) that have made him a “menace to society." Unviahes Mother I.ove. Mother love may do much for a man, and Mrs. Thaw is giving It to day without stint, without thought of herself, or any one but her “boy.” That boy has become a great reader, and here again Is the hope of return ing normalcy. The Thaw mansion on Beechwood boulevard la filled with wonderful books, and Thaw has been feasting upon them. In the beautiful grounds surrounding the Thaw home he has found ample means of exer cise. When he has gone downtown with his mother they always have used a closed motor. About Harry Thaw at dinner and in the afternoon arc gathered friends of his mother's selection, not the men with whom Thaw mingled in the days of his SIOO a plate dinners and the escapades that filled pages of the Sunday papers. They are the men of his age and generation whom his mother would have selected always as his compan ions—men who were toiling and working their ways to their respec tive goals while "H. K. T.” was sow ing the wild oats which reaped the whirlwind of Insanity and homicide. A scientist of note, a writer of abil ity—these and others of their class have been entertained at the Thaw mansion during Harry's visit, and the attitude of all toward the wayward son of the Thaw home, the returned prodigal, is such as they would as sume toward any normal man. for Mrs. Thaw would have it so. and Mrs. Thaw always—nearly always—has her way. Thaw has been found versed in many subjects. His conversation with his old friends has been serious al ways. Thaw never had the slightest sense of humor. Mrs. Tha-w never cultivated It in her children. The Thaw mansion would rock on its foundations if a meal ever were marked by merriment. Thaw is glad to take the serious side now. He never mentions his former wife. He may have read of her recent police court experience at Atlantic City, but no one would ever know it.

McManus testified that during his visit to Topeka of two weeks he had administered the klans man oath to "approximately a hun dred men" in Topeka.
