SAYS TWO KINDS OF COURAGE
ARE NEEDED IN DIRECTING
AFFAIRS OF A. BIG RAIL
4 ROAD COMPANY.
Ono 10 To Make Large Expenditures
When Times Are Dull and Money,
Labor and Materials Are Cheap,
tho other Being When Business
10 Heavy and Costs Are Expanding
Heavy Excitement on Board.

Chicago, ILL.,, March IA dispatch
to the Tribune from New York says:
Beyond the slightest doubt inner
Wall street believes that a check to
general business has resulted from the
railroad situation, and that this check
will grow more apparent. The activity
of state legislatures has aroused thor
oughly the large railroad interests of
the country. The cost of borrowing
money has been increased and there
will be still a marked reduction in the
expenditures.
Two Kinds Of Courage.
"In an interview given by President
Hartman yesterday on certain feat
ures Of the railroad situation, he said:
Two kinds of courage are needed in
developing and directing the affairs of
. great railroad system. One is to
make large expenditures when times
are dull and the business outlook poor,
and thus secur money, labor and ma
terials at low cost.
Saving In Expenses.
1.-THE other kind he said, is to be
able to discontinue the expenditures Of
funds and making of improvements
when business Is good. money dear,
and labor high. This kind Of courage
he aaid,r.would enable q railroad, by
waiting two or three years, to make
improvements at a reduction Of 20 per
cent in the cost of labor, money and
materials
Adding to Profits.
HE considered such a saving q good
profit for the shareholders. Hartman
was asked:
would q check of business be the
worst thing that could happen?'
ut might not be an unmixed evtl,'
Hartman said. The railroads now
have more business than they can
handle.
eome Benefits included.
ga slowing up would mean cur
tailment Of expenditures and an in
creas of the surplus Of the roads. It
would also mean lessened demand for
labor and q reduced demand for
money. These in consequence would
become cheaper"

Answer to Remain in Record
Jerome's Hypothetical Question
Contains About $4,000 Words.

New York, March 14.-After Abra-
ham Hummel had been called to the
stand at the opening of the Thaw trial
today, Delmas began an argument in
reply to Jerome as to the admissibility
of the evidence Hummel has to offer
regarding the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit
is said to have made in his office.
Dslmas Is Sustained.
When he completed the argument,
Jerome responded briefly, and Justice
Fitzgerald sustained the objection
made by Delmas, saying the cases
cited by Jerome are not proper author
ity on the question under considera-
ton.
Jerome Kept Going.
The ruling seemed to bar all of
Hummel's testimony, but Jerome pro-
ceeded to question him, and soon there
Vas a dramatic clash with Delmas.
"At the interview in your Office"
asked Jerome, did Evelyn Nesbit,
prior to your debating anything, tell
you that she had told AThaw that it
was not true that White had drugged
and ravished herr"
Abe Not to Be Stopped.
Delmas was on his feet to object, but
before he could do so. and Immediately
after Jerome had ceased to speak,
Hummel said in a loud voice: "She
certainly did" Delmas looked at the
witness, and with scorn in his voice.
said: And you call yourself a law
yer?"
Jerome Warns Up, Too.
Jerome objected to Delmas address
ing remarks to the witness and stated
that he further understood Delmas to
have said he would not object to an
answer to such a question as was
asked of the witness. Delmas said he
had made no such statement, and,
turning to Hummel, said: You heard
me reserve that right, didn't you?" Il
did," replied Hummel, not the least
DeImas Grows Dramatic.
Delmas then moved that the Ques-
ton and answer be sticken out, but
before Judge Fitzgerald could rule, he
said: Through the extraordinary
conduct of the district attorney this
question and the answer are in the
Let them stand. l waive my
right"
Delmas Again Sustained.
Jerome then questioned the witness
about Thaw wanting Evelyn to sign a
paper accusing White, and Delmas i'm
mediately objected. The objection
was sustained.
Hummel Excused Temporarily.
1t was agreed to excuse Hummel
temporarily and go on with the states
experts this afternoon. A recess was
then taken.

for alleged alienation OF his wife's ar.
fections. the jury in the case brought
IN a verdict yesterday afternoon, find.
ing for the defendant. The jury dIl
not think that Watson lost anything
of value.
The suit Of Watson against FerrelI
was for $4,000 alleged damage for
alienation Of affections. Plaintiff al
legged that Terrell WIS friend Of the
family and that he tool advantage of
the friendship to pursue improper re.
iations with plaintiffs wife. Ptntntitr

their friendship had continued for
some time on the quiet, that they be.
came N. re open about ii. and that
one day when Mrs. Terrell was away
visiting plaintiffs wife, went to de.
PENDANTS home and was there about
the house early in the morning.
Other escapades similar in nature,
were testified to by Watson, who was
backed up by some OF the neighbo ),
who allowed that Mrs. Watson and Mr..
Ferrell were entirely to thick" to es.
cape gossip. and that it was all for ~,
good. All the parties then lived at
Valley Mills.
FerreII admitted that he and Mrs.
Watson were ehunl,ny and that they
got along nicely together, but denied
that there were any Improper reid
