The Man WImhii the Wliole Country lias Baca Talking .lxmt fcir Year Bashed Away Fn.m Asylum iu Huge Automobile. Matteawan, N.Y.. Aug. 17 Har--Kendall Thaw, the slayer of Sthu tord White, en-aped from the Hos pital for the Criminal insane here at 7:45 o'clock this morning. A dart for liberty through an open Kate, a leap into the open door of a powerful automobile that stood quiv ering outside, and a flight like a rocket for the Connecticut! State line, 30 miles away, accomplished els escape. Tonight he was still at large and the hospital authorities felt certain he was outside the State. Once beyond its boundaries Thaw is free Only months, perhaps years of liti gation, ran bring him back to Mat jeawan and then only In one event that he be adjudged insane In the State to which he has fled. Five confederates manned the car la which Thaw escaped and a big black limousine which trailed it past the asylum gate. The police have the descriptions of Thaw's confed crates un the names under which t'ney registered at a local hotel Fri day night and are seeking them. The hospital authorities believed that Thaw fled to the shore of Long Island Sound and boarded a yacht waiting with steam up to rush him to Europe. REWARD OFFERED. A reward of 1500 for Thaw's ap prehension hits been offered by lr K. F. C. Keib, superintendent of the asylum. Howard 11. liarnuni, the attendant at the gate whom Thaw flashed by in his break for freedom. Is under arrest and oilier arrestB are expected to follow in the rigid investigation begun by Dr. Keib. The shades were drawn In the dormitories and the inmates were getting their second sleep when Thaw, fully dressed. It ft his room this morning. The milkman's cart was rumbling on the road, outside as he walked through the storeroom and into the outer court, or yard of the asylum grounds. Ilarnum, sole lUtendant at the road gate, was pac ing back and forth when Thaw closed the store-room door behind him r.nd apparently did not grasp the significance of Thaw s early ris ing. WAS A TUl'STY. Long years' residence at the asy lum and. reported declarations by Thaw that he would never attempt to obtain his freedom except by le gal means had established Thaw' stautus as a "tmsty. There was little out of the ordinary In his ap pearance, even at so early an hour in the courtyard, and if Ilarnum saw him as to this no one save the hospital authorities could say to night and they refused to talk he raised no question. A six-cylinder touring car, black and 60 horse power, followed by a limousine, also black, loafed lazily along the road us the milkman drew near the gate. Thaw, standing a few feet away, ap parently unconcerned, waited till Karnum unlocked the gate, swung it wide to let the milkman enter. At the same, moment the two cars drew up on the farther side of the road opposite the gate and stopped, their engines throbbing. As liarnuni step ped, aside for the milkman to drive inside the grcunds he heard the gravel crunch beneath Thaw's feet and looking up saw Thaw flash past 1:1m through the gate to one of the waiting cars. With a shout. Uarnum started In pursuit but a flying leap landed Thaw safe in the car. The automobile wheels began turning be fore .the keeper fairly reached the roadway and they were throwing up a rloud of dust before he had gone 25 feet. Down the roadway the ear sped in a whirling cloud of dust that quickly blotted them from sight. For a moment Ilarnum shaded his eyes with his hands and watched them, then with the first great blot on his career of 20 years as keeper he dashed madly back into the grounds and, locked the gate. "Thaw's gone, escaped!" he shout ed, bursting Into Doctor Kelb's pres ence. And in a moment the hunt was on. RUNNING TO .MILKS AN HOI R. The great black car flashed like a thunderbolt through Stormville 10 mies rust of .Mutteawan, along the road to the Coiinectleutt line. Ear ly riers in the little hamlet saw three mrr. - mid Thaw crouching low to ecapi the sweep of their rush through th- air. They were going 70 mibs an hour. They were 10 minutes out of Mattrawan. Stormville marvelled at their speed and watched them melt away Ui the dust of the State road. The limousine had been left be hind. At the speed the touring car was traveling when she passed Stormville she should reach the State line within a half hour. llarnum's breathless declaration at the asylum brought Doctor Kleb to his feet like a pistol shot. Within a moment he was standing nt the telephone and as Barnuin poured the story Into his ears repeated It over the wire to polilce headquar ters, Matteawan became the cen ter of a widening ripple of telephone and telegraph alarms as Doctor Kieb planned the pursuit. He might as well have tried to chase a 12 inch shell. The 0-niinute start, he high power of the car In which Thaw made his flight, the nearness of the Connecticut State line to ward which Thaw was heading and the Inferior power of the pursuing! cars militated against blm and mndef the chase hopeless. After he had driven in pursuit he met William Flannigan, a liveryman. SPEED OF THE WIND. "I saw him," Flannigan shouted. "He was near Fisbklll village and going 60 miles an hour. 1 saw him coming and just had to crowd my horse close over to one side of the road. He'd have hit me sure. Just let him keep on; he'll break bis neck." Flannigan said that he recogniz ed Thaw silttlng ,ou the rear seat ot the touring car. The limousine was trailing the big car Flannigan said. Doctor Kieb realizing the fu tility of the chase, called it off and went back to .Mutteawan. lie fore starting Doe-tor Kleb noti fied District Attorney Conger, Sher iff Hornbeck and County Judge Hasbrouck. The county authorities telephoned to points in the esatern part of the county. Noue of the towns near the State line, however, was able to give any information about the two cars. The last defi nite news was from Stormville. After Thaw left Stormville he had two routes open to the Connecticut! line, one by way of Luddingtonville, Carmel and Brewster to Mill Plains, five miles beyond Hrewster. The other was by the way of Pauling to the State line. The latter is the best road for an automobile. The road by Hrewster would have taken him over a rough country part of the way and would, have been more liable to have caused his halt by telephone. Just before Hrewster Is reached, however, there is a back road leading to the Connec.tlcutt line and which would hvae taken him away from all observation until the Connecticut line was reached. Which road he took no one knew. ACCUSES ATTENDANT. According to the account given by Doctor Kieb, when Ilarnum open ed the gate to allow the milkman to enter, he let It remain open and so far as Doctor Keib could Judge, had quietly stood by and allowed the prisoner to walk out. It was impossi ble to obtain an Interview with Ilar num, as he had been placed in cus tody by the hospital authorities. Doe-tor Kieb has offered a personal reward of 1500 for Thaw's appre hension. In addtion to $50 usual ly given by the State In such cases. STLL AT LARGE. A New York dispatch of yester day, Monday evening, said that Thaw had been at liberty thirty-six hours and nothing had been heard from him except a note from him to bis mother saying hnt he expected to join her ut the country borne in Pennsylvania. In as much as he cannot be arrested, In another State on the ground of Insanity for which be was confined, having on this plea escaped the electric chair, the New York authorities will seek to arrest him on a charge of con spiracy with Ilarnum, the hospital guard, and the five men who man aged the escape. Store cf Former I nlon Cill.en Bur-glarize-ri. Albemarle Enterprise. On Wednesday night of last week when the town was wrapped In dark ness, thieves broke into the rear of .Mr. F. E. Starnes Jewelry store and made away with something over $250 worth of valuable tools. Entrance was made through a rear window from which a large pane of glass had been broken. There w as a ''door leading Into the rear of the store, but finding this securely locked the marauders turn ed their attention to the window. They atempted at first to remove the pane by cutting out the putty holding It but finding this process too laborious .they shortened mat ters by breaking out the pane. When once inside the thieves found themselves In the room used by Mr. Starnes and his assistant as a workshop. The door leading to this from the storeroom In which there were several thousand dollars' worth of valuable goods, was lock ed and there was no Indication of an attempt to force an entrance. The thieves were evidently nov ices at the buslneps, judging from the way they proceeded to pocket things in the workshop. Several new tools were taken but many valua ble ones were left untoucehd in the drawers of the tool cabinet. A lathe, a number of staking tools and two watches comprise the great er part of the loss. Cold feet prob ably account for the thieves not getting away with more. Suspicion rests upon certain per sons and Chief Love means to leave io stone unturned in making out a ease avainst the guilty ones. REJECTED BY STATE. Death of Mrs. V. H. Trull. Mrs. Ellen Trull, wife of Mr. W. II. Trull, died Monday, August 11. at her home In enst Monroe town ship.

The proposal of the railroad companies doing In terstate freight business In North Carolina, submitted through the Cor poration Commission to Governor Craig for settling the differences be tween the shippers of this State and railroads because of excessive rates to North Carolina points compared with Virginia cities, is rejected by the Governor as a result of the con ference here today In which the Gov ernor, the Legislative Freight Rate Comn:is.-ion, the Corporation Com mission, and the Council of State participated. The general Impres sion it that there will be no further negotiations of consequence until the Legislature meets September 21th. In a significant speech closing the conference. Governor Craig said he was gratified at the unanimity in the conference on the proposition that the proposal should not be ac cepted. It is also a fact, to which tile Governor did not allude, that there were the widest 6ort of dif ferecnes as to what sort of an ad justment would be acceptable. John C. Forester of Greensboro in the closing moments of the confer ence declared that there is no wis dom in a "multitude of counselors" on freight rates, that somebody had to take the situation in hand, fix it and then look the people of the State in the face and say "we did the best we could." Nobody could tlx a scale of rates that would sat isfy everbody. E. J. Justice of the Legislative Commission made the significant statement that "no doubt the rail roads will regret that the State has jurisdiction over a number of tnings." The final nfiernoon session of the conference was a long and spirited one. In declaring the final ad Journinent, Governor Craig said It was a matter of congratulation that substantial reductions have been of fered. He reviewed the negotiations since the last Legislature, congratu lated the General Assembly on hnv ing boldly undertaken to secure re- lit f and said that the Corporation Commission in securing and working out this proposal has performed for the State a patriotic service, doing tiie very best it could. He said the people want peace and he wants peace, but just reduc tions have not been offered. The railroads are perfecting greater ser vice for Virginia cities for a far less rate than exacted from North Carolina points for a far less ser vice this, too, under the terms of the proposal rejected. He quoted (.stances he had worked out apply ing to all sections of the State. He fe't that it would be wrong to ac cept the proposal. He subscribed to the "long and short-haul doctrine," but he could not subscribe to the contention that lower rates could not be accorded to the border points in this State He declared that if the reductions proposed would save the people $1,- 000,000 on freights, he was sun that really just reductions would save $5,000,000, and that he could but fight for entire justice. He wanted It understood that he was willing to meet the railroads in a spirit of compromise and endorse rates not so low as those given Vir ginia cities, but that they must be something near to it. He noticed that the terms of the proposal sug gested that In the event of rejection there should be another conference with the officers of the railroads He was willing to meet them and would be In Raleigh for the purpose and sincerely wished for an adjust ment satisfactory to the people. The Governor said he disliked to disagree with J. Allen Taylor and the Wilmington delegation tha whatever adjustment Is made the relative rates between Wilmington and the interior must be maintain ed. "We will continue the fight." he said, "for just rates. In rejecting this we may fall, but If we fail, we fail. We cannot accept this because it is not Just." He said that Pres Ident Finley and Counsel Thorn assume that there will be appeals to that court of equality, the Gen eral Assembly of North Carolina which we believe will exercise Juris diction rightfully and righteously.

Nance is reported as saying that his wife told him that she was go ing to have liim put in the asylum, that he was crezy and had been for years, that she was now as crazy as he was and intended to stop at nothing. Then she seized him by the throat, says Nance, and choked him. Whereupon he freed himself and with the beer bottle fractured her skull, and seeing she was dead, poured kerosene over her clothing and the furniture and fired the room. J. G.

Then six members of Salisbury Lodge of Elks, of which the deceas ed was a member, lifted the casket from its resting place and then the crowd outside opened and form ed alongside the walk leading to the room where Mrs. Grubb was ly ing and the casket was borne, ut her request, to her beelside that she might view for Hie last time the face of the man who 24 years ago, at the age of 19, had vowed to love, cherish and protect her, but who had placed her life in jeop ardy and lost his own In the act. Tender hands raised the head of the injured woman that she might get a full view of the face of the dead husband. She took one long look at the corpse, clostd her eyes and laid down. There was no out burst, though it must have been an awful moment for her. Hundreds of the curious crowded about the windows of the lit:le room in which .Mrs. Grubb lay and it was with some difficulty that they were kept at a sufficient distance to allow air to pass through. She appears to be pretty badly Injured. Her face contains a number of scratches and her right arm is band aged its entire length and it is said other parts of her body show terri ble treatment she received on the night of the killing.
