WHITE WOMAN MURDERED
Dealt Powerful Blow, Which Broke
Her Neck.

Memphis, Tenn.-With blow that
literally broke her neck at its junction
with the body, Mrs. Mercedes Donovan
was knocked down by an unknown as
sailant on Commerce avenue at $3.50
tonight.
A defenseless woman, accompanied
by her brother and sister, two little
children, and her own daughter a child
not yet two years old, struck down in
practically the very heart of the city by
as desperate and as vicious criminal
as has ever been harbored within the
limits of the city has aroused the indig-
nation of the entire community.
The neighborhood in which the foul
murder occurred was aroused TO such
an extent when the narrowing details
became known that armed citizens pa
troled the streets for hours and search
ed for the murderer. Had he been
found the police would have been pow
eriess to protect him. and he would
have been given but short time in
which to ask forgiveness for his heinous
crime.

Mrs. Thaw was not allowed to state
the names Of certain persons, but by
consent of counsel for the defense she
gave them in whispers to Mr.. Jerome,
in order" as Mr., Delmas said, that
the prosecution may have the fullest
possible opportunity to refute any of
her statements if he can"
Only two Of half dozen letters Of
fered In evidence have been read. The
others probably will be presented to-
day, when Mrs. Thaw Is again
called to the stand.
The completion of the direct exam
inaton Of the prisoners wife will pos
sibly require all of todays sessions.
There is an impression that Mr.. Del
mas may strive to have it occupy the
entire day in order that the young
woman may take advantage of the ad-
journment over Saturday and Sunday
to recover from her fatigue, and be
prepared for the cross-examination Of

Washington, d. C.--Mayor Schmitz
and members Of the San Francisco
school board we're in conference twice
Sunday, and formally agreed on the
policy they will pursue in connection
with the question Of the japanese and
the San Francisco schools. The mayor
and the members Of the board have
refused to make any statement as TO
what position they will take when
they will call at the White House to-
day to confer with President Roose-
welt and Secretary Root. In a tele.
gram, however, to the California Ex-
clusion league, Sunday, Mayor Schmitz
declares the delegation has not made
a1y arrangements up to date of any
kind,
More than three hundred telegrams
were received by Mayor Schmitz and
the members of the board Sunday
urging them to stand firm for the ex-
clusion of the Japanese coolie from
the United States.
At todays conference the Californi-
ans will present their views to Presi-
dent Roosevelt in writing, and final
definite agreement probably will not
be reached until Tuesday.
What President Will Offer.
Secretary Root spent two hours at
the White House Sunday night discuss
ing the school question with the presi-
dent, and it can be authoritatiyely
stated that the president today will as
sure Mayor Schmitz and the school
board that if they will agree to end
the agitation by abolishing the oriental
schools, the president will in turn use
his influence to secure a treaty with
Japan that will exclude the coolie la

was on her way to work, she was met
at narrow place on the sidewalk by a
young negro woman, named Addie Will

negro pleaded guilty to assault and
battery and was fined 800 and SEN
fenced to Jail for thirty days, the limit
Of the law. There was much suppressed
excitement at the outrage, and it looked
for time as if the negress would be
taken in hand and given additional
punishment by resentful white citizens.

JAP SITUATION IS CLEARER
President Is Working Hard to Ad-
Just the Trouble.

Washington situation regard
ing settlement of the japanese trouble
seems today in every way satisfactory.
The positive statement was made to-
night by one of those who was most op-
posed to temporizing with the Japanese
that Q. very few more conferences be-
tween the San Francisco authorities
and President Roosevelt would result
in an adjustment of the whole question:
leaving few details to be arranged by
the president and Secretary Root.
1t has been apparent from the time
the mayor and other officials OF San
Francisco consented to come to Wash
ington for conference that President
Roosevelt had the situation in his own
hands. 1t is said the local government
is willing to do exactly what the presi-
dent requests, and Mr., Roosevelt has
been very careful to request nothing
which cannot be done without loss of
pride or self-respect by the Californians

had not paid the amounts back, was
mistake by reason of the fact that he
had himself personally paid Pierce for
these identical pieces of paper and re-
ceiyed his receipt for them; that he did
this because he was friend Of Senator
Bailey, and had heard that there was
some talk about Bailey not having paid
Pierce for loans, and being friend,
that he had protected him in this in
stance by paying the loans himself.
He could not remember exactly when
Bailey had paid him back, but he was
confident that he had done so.
