publicly thanked by the people ot
Charleston This and other official
acts won for him the regards of many
leading democrats and when the cam

strong movement was promoted 'o

for governor, believing in his honest

This had the support of the moder-

but Chamberlain refused to recognize
his election and with the aid Of fed

New York, April 13.-Setting At rest
all rumors as to their present intention
]. Russell Peabody, associate with Dot
phin NJ. Delmas, chief counsel for Har-
ry X. Thaw, said today, after 40 mir
ute conference with the prisoner. ULas
an application for Thaw's release on
bail would be made. He declined 60
go into details regarding this action.
There were various rumors during the
day that habeas corpus proceedings
might be brought, and it was reported
that the Thaw family stands ready to
furnish bail in almost any amount 10
secure the young mans release.
District Attorney Jerome announced
that he would make strong fight
against granting Of bail To- The prison
cr, and added to this statement that
he intended to prosecute him for mur-
der in the first degree
MI ld" duNuOl lAtS ilIt W Sdl Nitt
up to the present time he has made
no change of counsel. You may say
that as emphatically as YOU please.
OF course we don't know what will
happen next week"
How does Thaw take the situation2
the lawyer was asked.
''He is very much distressed, and
feels badly about it," Mr Peabody re-
piled.
Asked as to the program for next
week. he said:
I'VE have no fixed program. On
Monday we shall get together and dc
eide what IS best to be done"
Mr.. Delmas held long conferences
with Thaw today and Mrs. Thaw saw
her husband during the visiting hours.
Altogether Harry Thaw spent Is quiet
day in the Tombs. The influx OF mail
at all deliveries which has kept him
busy since he first went TO coll, was
diminished somewhat toda-. Instead
of the 100 letters which he received
every morning up to the day OF tho
verdict only % came in this forenoon
and the other deliveries had also tall"n

letter written By Howard NcSbit,
brother Of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw. 10
Harry Thaw was made public today, II
,.F
In it the young man wrote that when
White was shot he thought 1t would
be heroic to stand by the man whose
| memory to me was so precious
| AS TO his subsequent attitude toward
! his sister and Thaw he wrote:
! after Florence told her story on
the stand, believe me. Was with her
from that time on-heaTt and soul
never intended to say one word against
her if put on the stand would have
| forgotten everything / knew would
have perjured myself out and out, IL
you wish to call it Derju-T.
A unique feature OF the case and one
which has caused considerable discus
sion in legal circles today, Is the pub
lication OF a signed article by one OF
the Jurors. giving a complete story Of
the deliberations in the jury room THIS
is said 10 be the first time such thing
has eyer occurred in this Jurisdiction.
As a rule the juries in great criminal
cases have considered their delibnra-
tions as secret and confidential. Tho
story written by one OF the jurors
throws some interesting side lights on
the jury room procedure
According TO this account, when
they retired after the judges charge
they gathered about the big table in
the center Of the room and engaged IN
prayer. With the foreman in the ehar
parliamentary rules were then adopted
and these were adhered TO throughout
The discussion was largely In the ha-
ture OF a formal debate.

Judges Off On Automobile spin.

A party made up largely of repre-
sentativeS of the judiciary under the
leadership OF Judge James B. Dill of
East Orange, LETT there on Monday in
three automobiles for a tour which
will occupy at least a month. Their
route is through New York State, a
part of Canada and back to Maine In
the party with Judge Dill are Justi-
ces Alfred Reed, Charles G.. Garrison,
Winthrop E. Scarritt, of East Orange,
Justice Warren w. Foster, of New
York, and Mr.. Scaritt's two sons,
Winthrop and Horace. Judge Dill
planned the tour. Many places of
historical interest in New York and
Canada will be visited, the destination
being Judge DIPS summer camp at
the Rangely Lakes, Me. One Of the
automobiles is used to carry baggage
From Saratoga the tourists will pro-
ceed along Lake George and through
the Adirondacks, stopping at many
points of interest in the northern part
of the State. They will visit Mon
treal and then ride down the banks
of the St. Lawrence River to Quebec.
1t is part Of Mr.. Diil's plan to pass
through the wilderness on the old
Benedict Arnold route, distance of
300 miles, to the Rangely Lakes. AT

travel 400 miles to Fort Kent, the
most northerly place in Maine.

rraffic Conditions at Depot.

There has again been complaint of
traffic conditions at the railroad sta
tion. There is always trouble there
and danger to pedestrians but every so
often it becomes much aggravated. A
gentleman interested recently took up
the matter with the Mayor and repre-
sentatives of the railroad and it has
been practically agreed to try plan
for 1esSening the trouble.
This scheme is to have the stages all
stand near the express office. Then
build a fence along the Morris street
line leaving an opening at the Elm
street end and near the wall. Car
riages will be obliged to enter this yard
by the upper entrance and leave by the
Elm street gate. The hacks will all
stand outside the fence in the road but
will be permitted to drive into the
yard following the line of travel after
the other carriages have started out.
For the trial it is planned to obstruct
the Morris street line by ties and if
successful. build the fence. Then it is
planned to build new walk for pede-
strians on the side of the stone wall
nearest the freight house cutting a
hole through the wall and laying a
crossing to the end of the station near
the express Office.

Locating the New Lamps.

The street lighting committee of
the board of aldermen and the repre-
sentatives Of the Morris & Somerset
Electric Co., have about completed
the location of the lamps. There will
be fifty-nine arc lamps used as follows
Seven in and around the Park, Wash
ington street to Mills street, Speed
well avenue to Cutler street, Water
street TO Spring street, Morris street
to Washington avenue, South street
to Elm street and Market street to
Mt. Kemble avenue. The committee
desired to run the arcs further out on
South street, but some of the resi-
dents there preferred the incandes-
cents. The committee still has few
incandeScent lam ps to distribute
around in places where the need is
found. One lamp was located at the
boundary line Of the town on every
street.
The committee recomends tree trim
ming in many parts of town to render
the lighting effectives and suggests
Franklin place as a model.

The QnestIon Of coal pumps.

1t is rumored bout town that the
Lackawanna r. r. will build COM
pany coal trestle to be conducted like
those at Newark, Summit and other
places, in Morristown this fall. Some
of the local dealers are rather skepti-
cal Of the story, stating that the coal
agent said not long ago that the COM
pany would not build here at present,
as three dealers are getting coal from
the road delivered on their own tres
ties. On the other hand it is claimed
that the policy Of the company is to
build these wholesale trestles not only
to control the local supply, but also to
reduce cost in drilling out cars for
several dealers, placing on different
dumps, besides the office work of maxi
ing out the waybills, etc., assigning
cars to several dealers. BY the whole
sale yard plan, anybody with the cash
and a horse and wagon can buy long
tons of coal at the wholesale rate,
plus ten or fifteen cents per t0ncharged
for cost Of running the business and
interest on the plant.

The EIks' Convention

The Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks is holding its national con-
vention in the city of Philadelphia
this week. The city is swarmed with
Elks, their wives, daughters and sweet
hearts, all bent on having high old
time. In anticipation of the affair,
the citizens of Philadelphia spent
thousands upon thousands of dollars
in decorating the city and preparing
to make the visitors happy. The en-
tire week is to be devoted to business
and pleasure, and thousands of men
and women who have heard of Phila-
delphia only as being a phenomenally
slow community will go home with a
good impression of the town. Every
State in the Union will be represented
ia the gathering; and everyone there
win become a walking advertisement
for the City of Brotherly Love. Gath
