THAW TRIAL DELAYED
POSTPONED UNTIL PROBABLY
NEXT MARCH.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 6.-From all in
dications the trial of Harry X. Thaw for
the killing of Stanford White will not
come up until March. This further delay
in the case is caused, it is said, by the
move made by Thaws counsel for the APP
plication for the appointment of a COM
mission to take testimony outside the state
and his subsequent withdrawal of his mo-
ton.
District Attorney Jerome had anticipated
that the application for the commission
would be made, and he had no doubt that
the court would grant 1t. Accordingly the
Thaw case was taken off the calendar, as
it was believed in the district attorneys
office that the taking Of testimony outside
the state would be prolonged Indefinitely.
When, however, Clifford w. Hartridge of
Thaws counsel withdrew his application
for the commission it was said in the
district attorneys office that the plans
that had been made could not be changed
to suit the defense.
Mr.. Hartr;dge's application left the door
open to Mr.. Jerome to make similar one
on behalf of the prosecution, and 1t is
thought that this move on the part of the
district attorney came as a surprise to
Thaws counsel, with the result that the
application first filed was withdrawn. Mr..
Jerome was willing that Mr.. Hartridge
should have his commission. but he wanted
as well a commission appointed to take
the testimony of the mother and brother
of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw. who are now in
Pittsburg.
Another witness whose ties imony Mr..
Jerome wanted to have before the court
was young woman who was the close
companion of the Thaws while they were
in Paris before their marriage. and who
is now said to be studying the charae-
teslstics of monkeys in South Africa.
According to general belief it had been
the plan of the defense to set forth that
Stanford White treated Evelyn Nesbit
cruelty before she met Thaw and married
him, and that the knowledge of this treat
ment ranked in Thaw's mind to such an
extent that it finally worked him into a
mental condition which prompted him to
kill White. The district attorney hoped
to show by the testimony of Mrs. Holman.
Mrs. Thaw's mother, and her brother
that White was very kind to Evelyn Mes
bit that he treated her mother with every
courtesy and provided for an education
for Evelyn Nesbits brother The plan
Of the defense to examine Mrs. Holman
and her son was, according to report, not
pleasing to Thaw's counsel

MODIFICATION PROPOSED.
Grosvenor Expresses Willingness to
Amend Ship Subsidy Bill.

A modification Of the Gallinger ship sub
sidy bill was suggested by Chairman Gros-
venor at today's meeting of the House
committee on merchant marine and fish
cries. He expressed a willingness to strike
out subsidies for transatlantic and African
steamship lines. thus combining the govern
ment aid to oriental and South American
lines. No vote was taken, but Mr.. Gros-
venor will prepare a revised bill for the
consideration of the committee. In its
changed form the Gallinger bill, which al
ready has passed the Senate, will conform
to the ship subsidy recommendation made
by Secretary Root in his Kansas City
speech.

NO NEW TREATY WITH JAPAN
Rumor in Circulation Officially Set al
Rest,


Inquiry disclosed the fact that the legal
proceedings to be taken in San Francisco
by the United States district attorney, in
the matter of the admission of japanese
to the public schools of that city without
discrimination, were inspired by Secretary
Root who expressed the opinion that 1t
would be one way of effectualy disposing
of the controversy.
That the Presidents views on the SUBJ
just meet with the hearty approval of the
japanese government was made evident
yesterday when Viscount Aoki, the Japan
csc ambassador, said that he had per-
sonaly thanked the President for what he
had said.
A rumor that a new treaty between the
United States and Japan was to be negoti-
ated, designed to remedy any defects in
the one now in force, was set at rest when
both Viscount Aoki and Secretary Root I'M
equivocaly denied that such thing even
was in contemplation.

NO TROUBLE ON
 SIP. AT SALTON SEA
Trains Running on Time-Ex aggerated Reports of
 Floods Denied.

FL PASO, Aug. 17.--No new trouble is being experis3ced by the Southern Pacific at Salton Sea; on the con- trary trains from. the west having been on time into this city during this week with the exception of Thursdays s train, which was delayed Ihree-quart- CTS of an hour by disabled switch engine blocking the line.
 The report of local paper that the trains were being detoured over the Santa Fe was flatly denied by of- ficials of the G. H. & s. A. here, the fact being pointed out that were such detouring. involving distance or several hundred miles extra in force, the trains could not reach this clty or time as has been the case.
 So far as can be learned the situ- ation is unchanged at Salton Sea and the present efforts to stop the inflow of the Colorado river into the basin, are expected to prove successful.
 Superintendent W. K. Etter Of the Santa Fe with headquarters at San Marcial is in the city today and also rerorts no knowledge of a detourlng of trains over that system as reported.

WILL BE STARTED
 TONIGHT
Democrats Will Meet at Cop per Queen Hotel to Fix Time
 for Convention.

The Democratic County Central committee will meet this evening in the parlcrs of the Copper Queen hotel for the purpose of deciding upon a date for the holding of the primary elections throughout the county and fixing the time and place for holding the Democratic county convention.
 The meeting will be called to order by Chairman Cunningham, and letters received from different portions of the county show that the meeting this evening will be well attended.
 Among the Democrats already in the city to attend the meeting is J. N. Gaines, county treasurer. MT Gaines arrived last evening and ex- poets to remain until Sunday. When seen at the hotel last night by a Re view man. Mir. Gaines expressed him. self favorably to the idea of allowing the Democrats in the several pre- cincts to elect their delegates to the territorial convention, either by the means of primaries or mass meeting. It is believed that this will be the ac- tion of the committee on this subject. With the territorial convention only a short time away it is the opinion of the democrats that this method of selecting the delegates to the terri torial convention would prove more satisfactory than if the central com noittee appointed the delegates. N. F. Bailey, committeeman from Naco, also favors this plan.
 From a canvass of the committee men from Bisbee and others in the city, majority favor the 22nd day of September for the primaries with the convention the latter part of the month, either September 27th or 18th.
 With both territorial conventions in Bisbee on September 9th, the place of holding the county convention will probably be some outside point, either Tombstone or Benson, as the last county convention was held at Doug las.

TRIAL IF THE SHATTUCK
 TRAM
Today Will Witness First Run of Buckets From Mine
 to Station.

Superintendent Pattison announces that the first trial of the Shattuck tramway will take place today, and rom present indications the tram will meet all requirements placed upon it, Work was commenced upon the tram about two months ago, and every facility to aid in its rapid completion was provided by the management. and today the Shattuck tramway stands as monument to it's indomitable push and energy.
 The tramway is the only one in the Warren district and was constructed to facilitate the hauling of the ore between the mine and railroad. Its length is 3200 feet, and when loaded to full capacity will carry thirty-two buckets placed at a distance of 100 feet.
 The buckets will hold ten cubic yards of earth, and will weigh approx. imately fifteen hundred pounds when filled. It is the intention to dunn buckets every two minutes, but when occasion demands the speed can be Increased to one every forty seconds, At this rate five hundred tons of ore can be carried from the the chutes to dump every twepty-four hours. It is expected that this amount of ore will be soon needed to meet require ments of this valuable property.
 The cable that is to carry the buck cts is one inch in diameter, and hangs from standards twenty feet in length. These standards are embedded in ce- ment foundation, placed about one hundred yards apart. They are sub- stantially constructed and thoroughly able to carry the weight of the cable and buckets for many years to come.
 With the opening of the Shattuck tram an increased production at the mine can be looked for, necessitating the employment of a large force of men and greatly adding to the already enormous pay roll of Bisbee.
 The Shattuck tram has added an- other big producer to the Warren dis trict.

PRESIDENT REYES CALLED A
 TRAITOR
Senor Mendoza, Member of = Columbian Congress, Calls
 President Names.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-The Tribune tomorrow will say:
 There has just been made public an open letter written by Diego Men doza. recently minister of Colombia at Washington to a member of the National Assembly on Bogota, in which that diplomat denounces Presi- dent Reyes of Colombia as a traitor to his country and assuses him of ex- treme bad faith.
 Never, perhaps, has there been penned such scatching denunciation of the head of a government by a dip. lonlat, nominated by the man he at- tackled.
 Senior Mendoza, who has just re- gently returned here from London, where as member of the Colombian congress, he represented Colombia at the InterPaFliamentary Union. de- clared that President Reyes, for fifteen years, entered into a secret agreement with President Amador of Panama, under which the former de- partment of Colombia assumes part of the Colombian debt. thereby practf cally abandoning Colombia's rights on the Isthmus and this, he says, stamps President Reyes as traitor. He tells also of President Reyes supposed financial interest in the lighthouse at Colon, and asserts that the President sent to Washington an agent author ized to sell the lighthouse to the United States for s100,000, for which services he promised the agent a commission of 10 per cent.

CAUGHT UNDER WHEELS OF
 ENGINE
Carpenter at HoIbrook Has a Broken Back as Result
 of Accident.

Yesterday afternoon at about 4:30 o'clock, Bringham Hayes, a carpenter in the enmploy of the Copper Queen company was crushed beneath the wheels Of a locomotive. while return ing from work at the Lowell shaft.
 It has been customary for the men when returning from work in the mines to jump on an ore train or a locomotive which is returning to town, and thus get a ride. Although the management of the railroad has re- alized that the men are rather tired comping from work, and that a ride to town is rather inviting, still they knew the danger of jumping on and of moving cars. and have forbidden it time and again. In spite of the warnings many of the men have per sisted in the practice, and now comes an accident which will probably cost a human life.
 It seems that Hayes was just con- ing from the Holbrook shaft, and see ing the locomotive coming towards town, jumped on the runboard to take a ride. No one witnessed the acci- dent, and it was not known that any one was hurt until the foreman of the train crew walked around the engine and saw Hayes lying on the ground. He called several men who were on the ere train. and they car ried the wounded man to the Copper Queen hospital. An examination was made, and it was found that the left foo+ u-ac yprv aariv severed from the body, and the right foot badly crushed. The most serious injury is a broken back.
 The hospital authorities said last night that Hayes was still in con dition of shock. not seeming to realize what had happened to him. They also said that although Hayes back was broken he had a possible chance to recover, but even though he does, he will be paralyzed for life.

PHOENIX REPUbS. UP IN THE
 AIR
Have No Choice for Opponent
 for Mark Smith, Knowing :, It Useless Task.

PHOENIX, Aug. 17.-Until the ad- ministration, through Governor Kib- bey, indicates whom 1t wants nomi- mated for delegate to congress, the Republicans of Maricopa county are none of them able to express pref erence.
 General E. s. Clark and Robert E. iEently mentioned. It is said that Governor Kibbey would throw his sup port to Clark because of his penchant for high mine taxation.
 Morrison's friends are some of them urging that he be a candidate, while others, just as sincere, are seeking out that to oppose Mark Smith at this time would be political suicide.
 The same faction of the Republi- cans who two years ago fought for the nomination of ". F. Cooper, of Tucson, instead of B. A. Fowler, are laying their plans in his behalf. Let ters have been written to Cooper, ask ing him if he would be a candidate.
 Never before have the Republicans of Maricopa been up in the air as high as they are at the present time. As one of them expressed it this morning, We are waiting to find out how the administration feels"
 The Republican county central com mittee will meet on September l to select Maricopa's thirty-nine delegates to the territorial convention in Bis. bee, September 6.
 There seems little possibility of this delegation going instructed for any candidate, or even any definite idea whom they want for the place.
 Several of the prospective canii. dates give indications of following in the footsteps of W. F. Sturges, wEo suddenly realized that discretion is the bette. part of valor in this campaign.

sosToN's INDEBTEDNESS.

BOSTON, May 17.-Boston's gross debt can now be counted in nine fig ures, for the first time in the history of the municipality.
 In other words, the debt issue pro vided for at per cent, last week, be- cause Boston bonds are DO longer wanted at less interest. makes the gross amount of Boston's debt at slo2'' S37 ,10S. or sI70 for every man, woman and child in the twenty-five wards.
 Although these figures break all records, there will be no public ceie. bration, for conservative municipal officials do not believe that 1t calls for celebration. Moreover, there IS additional debt to be issued, which is already authorized, and the total ot more than s100,000,000, does not actually represent the amount for which Boston is bonded.

Sulphur Springs Farmer - F. Vigne, formerly proprietor of the Central Pharmacy, but now prosperous farm CT in the Sulphur Valley, came up from his ranch yesterday. Mir. Vigne states that the valley is in most promising condition, and everything looks to bright future. Four years ago hardly a habitation dotted the level landscape for miles. Now the val ley is covered with prosperous little homes. When the valley is provided with railroad facilities it will be one of the most thriving in the territory. Surface water abounds in abundance at a depth of twenty feet and more, and artesian water can be had at a lower level. The Southern Pacific have surveyed a line through the val. ley, and when this Is built great impet. us will be given to agricultural possi- bilities of Sulphur Springs valley.
