NEW YORK, .July 16.—Justrice Kendrick, who'
presided at the trial of Harry K. Thaw to determine
his sanity, today announced that lie would uphold
the decision of the jury, and find that Tlmw was
sane. Thaw was released under a hond of $.'?.r>,()00,
as the state has appealed the decision of the court.
Thaw and his mother were exuberantly joyful when
the court announced1 that he agreed with the jury,
and they walked out of tin* court room surrounded
by their friends and receiving the congratulations
of the crowded court room.
NEW YORK, July 16.—A big crowd greeted
Thaw when lit* stepped out of the court house a free
man after arranging for his bail. The street in front
of the building was black with people and it was
with difficulty that a passage could be forced
through the mob to the automobile containing
Thaw’s mother. Thaw announced that it was his
intention to return at once to Pittsburg, and' remain
at his mother’s home until the appeal taken by the
state has been decided. Thaw is a changed man
since the jury decided he was sane, and he acknowl
edged the cheers of the crowd with every appear
ance of pleasure.
NEW YORK, July If,.—The $.‘{5,000 bail set by
Justice Hendrick for Thaw’s release pending the
decision of tlio appeal, was delivered to the Clerk of
Court in cash. Thaw immediately left this city as
soon as lie was freed1, and as his motor ear rolled
down through the streets of New York he was
greeted with cheers everytime he was recognized byj
the people on the streets. It is Thaw's attention to
avoid as much of this notoriety as possible, and a
big crowd which had gathered at the Pennsylvania
station to see him start home, were disappointed
as he changed his plans at the last minute and
determined to motor to Philadelphia, and get away
from all possibility of annoyance from crowds of
curious sight seers, who seem to look upon Thaw as
some sort of a free show. From Philadelphia Thaw
will go by train to Pittsburg.

NIPPON VOLCANO
THREATENS TO
ERUPT

among tho nearby Inhabitants and in
terest among scientists was caused by
the sudden eruption recently of Mount
Yarlgatake, one of the best known
peaks in the Japanese Alps. The vibra

of soot-laden vapor. The surrounding
country to the north of the city of
Matsumoto, was showered with ashes.
The rivers became discolored and
much damage was done to the silk In
dustry through injury to the mulberry

HOT WAVE IN DIO

added to the agonies of the wounded
arriving here from the Dardanelles.

dysenteric patients, who would have
a much better chance of prompt re
covery in Alexandria on the sea.
