Strikers and All the People Are Enduring Great Hardships Strikers Arc Very Hitter Towards the Government and the Industrial Magnates Stores Are Closed and Food is Getting Alarmingly Scarce. . .Has Been Very Little Violence so Fnr But Trouble is Feared. (By Cable to The Times.) Stockholm, Aug. 5 Additional troops were brought Into the capital city today to strengthen tne govern ment's military position and to awe the strikers. The restlessness of the radicals and the universal arming oi the labor element gave promise cf bloodshed and civil war throughout the entire nation but the day beg.in quietly. The workmen are heavily armei, as Is proven by the unprecedented sale of weapons but the firearms have not been put to use. The strikers are enduring great hardships and they are bitter towards the industrial magnates and the gov. ernment but save for a few indi- viduHl instances there has not been an outbreak. The crippled industries are com pletely tied up. In the cities street car lines and car lines are idle. Steamship companies are relying upon soldiers to work as laborers. Ferries have ceased their operations. The railroad men are expected to go out but they have hesitated so far. The strike leaders today declare that the railroad men will' soon join their ranks. The artillery logically being the lirst force to engage in case the strik ers throw up barricades and open warfare, is kept constantly prepared everywhere. Their cannon, parked In the public squares are held in instant readiness and the artillerymen are ordered to bo prepared for action on a moment's notice. One-lift h of the entire population of Sweden, 300,000 men, are engag ing in the most, unique strike of ttv world's history. From the walkout of a tew hundred men in the woolen industries upwards of a fortnight ago, the numbers have increased uni.ll more than a quarter of a million men arc out and the nation is paralyzed. Privation, starvation and the act ual suffering of war time are forced upon the people. The stores are closed and food is getting alarmingly scarce. Restaurant prices have been placed so high that the poor have turned beggers. Companies of soldiers escorted wa gons containing provisions whidi were brought into the city through the day. The first violence of the strike oc curred yesterday at Vesteras but it was not of an alarming nature and aside from a few bruised heads from Hying Jf.ones and clubs no one was badly hurt. Troops arrested thirty strikers who had forced laborers to quit work. A melee with the populace ensued and twenty-three of the prisoners es caped. The employes of the Stockholm power station struck last night and today their places were filled with soldiers.

ALL THE THAWS WANT TO TESTIFY MOTHER IS MUCH DISAPPOINTED Countess of Yarmoutii Anxious to Tell About Harry's Past Life MOTHER DISAPPOINTER Mrs. Thaw is Disappointed Because Jerome Did Not Subject Her lo Grilling Process Wanted to lie Asked the Most Searching Ques tions and Resents Apparent Cour tesy of the District Attorney in N'tt Cross Examining Hci" Countess of Yarmouth Wants to Go on Stand Will Tell About Her Married Life and of Harry's Opposition to Her Marriage Still Attacking Stan ford White. (By Leased Wire to The Times) White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 0 In a final effort to prove Harry K. Thaw perfectly rational, his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw,, Josiah, his brother, and Alice, his sister, the former Countess of Yarmouth, today pleaded with Attorney Morschauscr to be allowed to testify in his behtilf. It was declared that if the pretty sister oi the prisoner succeeded m overcoming the objections of counael she would give to the court the mosi sensational testimony of the proceed lugs. On the advice of one of the alienists, the former Countess of Yar mouth was prepared to lay bare the secret of her unfortunate wedding, making public the fact that Harry's opposition to the union was justified by subsequent developments. Thaw's fight to prevent the cere mony, this expert declares, furnishes the best evidence of his sanity, it was to save the young sister of his client from the publicity that would attend her testifying that Mr. Mors chauser opposed calling her. In like manner Josiali Thaw volunteered to take the witness stand and declare that his brother's many acts were solely those of a rational man. Detectives armed with information corroborating Stanford White's prac tices were on hand when the session of court opened. Thaw's mother, disappointed at 'he failure of District Attorney Jerome to cross-examine her, made an ap peal to her lawyer to he recalled. It was said that the mother wishes her son's prosecutor to ask her searching questions and that she keenly resentr d his apparent courtesy in not grill ing her.

Roger O'Mara, the former chief of the Pittsburg police, was called as the first witness. After preliminary ques tions the witness testified: "I met Thaw at the Waleott Hotel, In 1904, and he told me all about, Stanford White. He said that he wanted me to go with him lo the Hotel York to see a young woman who was being persecuted by White." "She is a respectable married wo man and I do not wish you to men tion her name," Thaw's lawyer inter rupted. "She told me that White had com mitted an assault upon her, tearing her clothes after "ho had previously treated her very kindly," went on the witness. "Because she resented the actions of White, the girl said that the archi tect had threatened to go to every theatre where she sought employ ment, and he did succeed in keeping her out of employment. 1 said thai if he continued to bother her I would go to the head of the local detective bureau and stop White." Detective O'Mara, under Jerome's cross-examination, said he was paid $2,20i) by the Thaw family for his services; that it. barely covered his expenses, but that he was actuated by regard for Harry Thaw. He had never heard stories reflecting on Thaw's character, ho said, and first became aware of charges that. Thaw' had whipped gills in the present ac tion. Nothing of Importance was devel oped and Mrs. Thaw was recalled. She produced a chart tracing ihe fam ily history back for many genera tions which-she sajd had been made by a member of the family about 10 years ago. "There were only two cases of in sanity In the family," Mrs. Thaw said proudly, "and each of those relatives was not a descendant of the grand-. father of Thaw. If you call feeble mindedness from fright insanity, and I don't think you do, then a brother of mi.ie was affected." Mrs. Thaw declared the alienists employed in the trial had declared the facts must be distorted to save her son's life. 'Dr. Hamilton told me deliberate lies," she declared. "He said bis influence would get Harry to Matte awan, where he would gel him a suite of rooms and soon have him freed. The alienists said 'lei the facts be distorted for all they are worth', one of the stories about. Hai ry riding the horse to death was a lie. The horse ran away, broke his leg and was shot." On one occasion, she said. Jerome in an argument said: "Thaw is now in Matteawan. where I hope he v , 1 1 (Continued on Page Five.)

Bearing in mind the repri mand administered him by the court yesterday, I'tley replied to his ques tions in a loud, clear voice, and al though sitting directly across the table from Mr. Davis, he faced up the the table toward Captain Hood and the other judges and hardly once would he look at the opposing attor neys. ' .-I'tley admitted tVit he was sitting on Sutton when theatnl shot was tired. Asked whether he was holding Button's arm and whether his hand came In contact with Sutton's which held the revolver, he replied that his hand had touched Sutton's; that . he was conscious of Sutton raising the revolver, hut he could throw no fur ther light. I'Hey's testimony had been widely at variance with that given previous ly and he grew curt and short in ins replies under the merciless fire of Attorney Davis' questions. A wrangle ensued over the admis sion of an alleged threat of Sutton against his brother lieutenants. The wiiness denied emphatically that he had introduced any remarks into his testimony to discredit the story of Kennedy, the private 'n the marines who was nearby at the time of the shooting. Mr. Davis completed his cross-examination of the witness by making him say that he merely knew from hearsay that Sutton had a bottle of whiskey with him on the night of the t ragedy. The judge advocate then took a hand and I'tley 's manner changed. The lieutenant stated lhat the move ments of Sutton's hand which held ihe revolver was without the inter vent io.i of any other hand. i uiini'dialely al'ier the noon ad j'n ii ii mi -ii I Caplaiu Hood, senior member of thai body, took I'tley in hand, hul elicited nothing germane to the subject. I'tley was then released and Surgeon V. V. Cook, medical of lieer of tin- previous inquest and the tuna who rfornied (he autopsy on SuMon's body was called. He told of locating ihe bullel-wound as 3 inches above Hie right ear and a lit tle hack of a line drawn over the head from lip lo lip of Hie ears. He said thai to 1,15'. Ih'.sI recollect ion there was no singeing of the hair anil no pow der marks. Major Leonard at once took him in hand and asked: "Doctor, could that wound have boon scll'-inflicted '.'" "In my opinion ii is. possible," was the reply. The surgeon did nol .remember any wound in the back of Ihe head, but thought if I here was one if was not iioled on his report of the autopsy. Dr. Cook remembered thai there were some bruises about the face. SPECIAL CABINET MEETING HELD TODAY (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington,- August' 6.
