That'B certainly squeez ing dough out of the public. It Is a vain masculine hope that the less material the new fashions call for the cheaper will bo the cost of the dress.

THAW ESCAPES . DM ASYLUM { THAW'S DASH FOR LIBERTY HAD BEEN WELL PLANNED. RUSHED AWAY. THE INMATES WERE ASLEEP Keepers Didn't Know What Wn Oc curring Until Thaw Leaped Into Auto and It Dashed Off. Matteawan, N. Y—Harry K. Thaw, thes layer of Stanford White, escaped from the hospital for the criminal in sane here at 7:45 o'clock In the morn ing. A dash for liberty through an open gate, a leap into the open door of a powerful automobile that stood quivering outside and a flight like a rocket for the Connecticut state line thirty miles away accomplished the escape. Darting past an attendant who had just opened the gate to the asylum grounds for the milkman to enter, Thaw leaped into a six-cylinder auto mobile which stood throbbing oppo- Rite the entrance, and disappeared in a whirlwind of dust in the direction of the Connecticut state line. A sec ond automobile followed him. In his powerful car Thaw swept through the hamlet of Stormville, ten mlleH away, at 60 miles an hour, heat ing for Connecticut. A reward of |SOO has been offered by Doctor Kieb for Thaw's apprehen sion. Thaw's former counsel and officials of the state hospital commission ex pressed the opinion that Thaw would be a free man once outside the state's boundaries. They thought he could not be brought back to New York by extradition unlesß he were legally adjudged Insane in the state to which he fled. MTB. Mary Copley Thaw, the fugi tive's aged mother, manifested de light at hla escape. Mrs. Evelyn Nes bltt Thaw, playing at a New York theater, professed to bo terrorized and said she feared he would attempt to execute his threat to kill her. Po lice and detectives guarded her. Five confederates manned the car in which Thaw escaped and a big limousine which trailed it past the asylum gate. The mix-up in Albany over the gov ernorship Iji regarded as favorable to Thaw's prospect of remaining long out Of the Btatd, «v«n If apprehended and extradition papers are issued for his return. Howard H. Barnum, the gateigan, whom Thaw eluded in his dash for the waiting automobile, was lodged in the county Jail at Poughkeepsie on the charge of aiding and abetting Thaw in his escape. Sheriff Ilornbeck and John E. Mack of the district at torney's office took Barnum in an au tomobile to the jail. An all-night "third degree" ordeal awatted him there, it was said. May Indsmnify Japanese Toklo, Japan.—lt was announced here that the United Stateß has inti mated readiness to favor in princi ple the payment of an indemnity to Japanese subjects who have been af fected by the California alien land ownership legislation. The United States ahs also recognized the right of Japan to adopt a measure similar to the California bill; From Intima tions given in official circles it ap pears unlikely that Japan will adopt either Idea. What Japan desires is permanent friendly relations with the United States and therefore she seeks a fundamental solution of the difficul ty. if the United States has no so lution to offer, It i sstated Japan will lutlon to offer, It Is stated Japan will as a grievance.

A roll call showed the adoption of the articles of impeachment. A com mittee was appointed to acquaint the senate with the assembly's findings. After the adoption of the articles of Impeachment the assembly quickly passed a resolution appointing nine managers to conduct the Impeachment proceedings on behalf of the lower house. Articles of Impeachment against Governor Sulaer, as passed by the state assembly, make a document of over {,OOO words. They charge the governor with vio lating penal laws of the state, not only in connection with the filing of an im proper and incorrect account of his campaign expenses and diverting cam* paign contributions to the purchase of stocks, but also in connection with his alleged efforts to prevent witnesses from testifying before the Frawley in vestigating committee. * He is also charged with attempting to manlup late the stock market by attackß on the exchange. $20,000,000 Requested for Waterway.

CONTENTS NOT MADE PUBLIC Lind Admits That Ha Has Held Con ferences With Mexican Min ister Gam boa. Mexico City.—President Wilson's message to President Huerta Is now in the possession of the government, which mar be expected to reject it or to return some answer shortly. Foreign Minister Gamboa, in the two conferences he has had with John Lind. came to the conclusion, with the consent of President Huerta, that the simplest way to an end was to ac cept the document for President Huer ta and his cabinet, and atudy it. It would appear now that, as the message has been In the posaession of the Huerta government some time, and no action concerning it haa yet been announced, the government la not disposed auipmarlly to reject it It is argued by those who have been watching the efforts of President Wil son to effect a settlement of Mexlco'a difficulties that the longer Mexico de lays her anawer, up" to a reasonable time, the more reason there Is for hope that President Huerta Is dispos ed to give friendly consideration to the document. The government remaina silent re garding the entire matter, but Mr Lind, with the consent of Senor Gam boa, admitted for the firat time to American newspaper correspondents that he had held conferences with the Mexican minister of foreign affairs. While neither of the principals will admit the fact, information has been obtained that the object of Mr. Llnd'a vlait to Senor O ana boa was to deliver President Wilson's note. As an indi catio» ot the determination of Mr. Lind to so conduct himself that he cannot be criticised for talking too much in unofficial quarters, he refus ed to grant an interview to a group of well-known politicians, including a number of members of the chamber of deputies. The group belongs to what Is known as the reform element, and were close supporters of the late President Madero. Mr. Lind told them that, until his official mission was fulfilled, he did not desire to dis cuss Mexican politics with other per sons than officials.
