THAW FAILS RETURN AND
LOCATED SOICIDING HOUSE
PHILADELPHIA Jan. 11.—Harry
K. Thaw en route from Pittsburg to
New York state to surrender, broke
down under the ordeal and hid him
self here in a house on Walnut
street where he was found by detec
tives who located him there. After
they had surrendered the house, they
entered the Thaw room after break
ing down the door only to find that
he had slashed his wrists and cut
his throat with a brand new razor
in shocking fashion.
The police who assisted in his ar
rest say that Thaw sat in his chair
when they broke into the room quite
indifferent to their presence, and
calmly watching the blood spurt
from his veins while his entire
breast was crimson with the blood
from his mutilated throat. Thaw
fainted before removed to St. Mary’s
Hospital. Before fainting he asked
the officers to secure for him the
attendance of Dr. Kirby.
Dr. Kirby upon examining Thaw
at the hospital said that recovery
was quite impossible
It is stated that this evening Thaw
in the hospital terribly mutilated
is refusing to admit death that is
hovering over his bedside. The po
lice and hospital officials have tried
to secure a statement but none is
obtainable from him. lie has not
spoken since they brought him to
the hospital and he may pass away
any time.
Thaw is unquestionably demented.

majority is all that succeeded in ad
versing the Lawson demand for a
probe of the leak scandal. The vote
was taken this morning when the
Rules Committee thereupon report

take Lawson too seriously and the
matter was turned down.

had been offered none. But what
the Entente had done was to avoid
the, trap that Germany had so skil

Germany could obtain its own terms
George emphatically declared that

sham peace made in Germany, but
a peace founded upon the removal
of a perpetual menace to the welfare
of the nations of the world. George
said that the reply to Wilson clearly
had expressed the position of the
Entente in this regard.
