.B[ACKEN|NG THE
WHITE NAME
JEROME rs MERcILEsS IN HIS
CROSS-ExAMlNATION OF
MRS. THAN.
SHE WOEFULLY TOLD ALI
Demand for Whites Letters to Mrs.
Thaw Refused by the Thaw Attor-
neys.
Searching PitilessIy.

Mrs. Evelyn Thaw underwent an
other searching crosS-eXamlnation at
the hands of District Attorney Jerome
Tuesday. The young wife kept her
wits, fencing with her interrogation
bouncing in indignation and stamping
her foot by turns at some Of the ques-
tons asked her. The district attorney
failed to trip her up in any important
details. although he jumped from one
part of her story to another.
Mrs. Thaw swore that Edna Good
rich, the actress, introduced her to
Stanford White. Her voice trembled at
times, but she bore the test with much
fortitude and there was no indication
of breakdown at any point of her
testimony.
Mr.. Jerome indicated by his ques-
tons that he does not intend to spare
her in any way. but will turn over
every leaf in her past life. 1t was ap-
parent that he would keep the young
woman on the stand possibly for sew
eral days to come.
Mr.. Jerome questioned Mrs. Thaw
as to her manner OF posing for artists,
insisting unon definite answers. She
denied in positive manner that she
had ever posed in any but the most
proper manner.
Mr.. Jerome asked her about her rela.
tons with james A. Garland. whom
she knew before she met Stanford
White. A question as to whether she
was named as correspondent in Gar
lands divorce suit was withdrawn.
Jerome was assisted materially in
his croSs-eXamination of the witness
by statements made to him by her
mother, Mrs. Holman, who is in Pitts
burg, and her brother
District Attorney Jerome continued
to lash Evelyn Nesbit Thaw under a
pitiless cross examination Thursday
No secret of the woman's past was TOO
intimate for the district attorney to
make her lay it bare. He made her adj
init with tears that her associations
with White continued for several
months after she claimed to have been
drugged.
Mrs. Thaw declared that in every in
stance she had been piled with wine.
As the district attorney barred her story
Mrs. Thaw. wept bitterly. Thaw sat
with his face buried in his hands. Two
newspaper women, used to the varying
scenes of life, left the court room.
Jerome wanted every detail. Mrs.
Thaw tearfully told ALL
Toward the close of the morning
session there came a new and great
surprise when Mr.. Delmas, of Thaw's
counsel, stated that threats by the dis
trict attorney to indict Mrs. Thaw had
been overheard in court. Jerome de-
MED any such statement had been
made in court. That was as far as he
would go.
Jerome says Mrs. Thaw's cross-ex-
animation cannot be finished in less
than day and half.
Mr.. Jerome called Attorney Hart
ridge TO the stand and demanded GER
tain letters written by Stanford White.
Hartridge refused to answer Jerome's
questions, standing on his professional
privilege as counsel to Mr.. and Mrs.
ThaW both

Our Indian Population.

The figures showing the Indian pop
ulation in the United States do not
afford much ground for sentimental
persons to lament the disappearance
of 10" Asa matter of fact, the In
dams IRE not disappearing, so far as
numbers are concerned There are
now nearly 100000 members of the
aboriginal races in this country, and
there is steady growth. AS it is
doubtful whether there were ever any
more in this portion of the continent,
Ii is possible that much emotion has
been wasted in deploring the passing
of these original inhabitants. Further
more, the Indians of the present day
are in far better condition than their
progenitors. Many are educated and
trained in ways that make them good
and worthy citizens, and they live in
a manner that would astonish the red
man of 200 years ago, could he come
back and see things as they are now.
More than half the Indians in exist
ence dress like white men and to some
extent copy civilized ways. The other
half retain much OF the old-time mode
of living, but the proportion of "blan-
ket" or wholly uncivilized redskins is
steadily growing smaller.
Charlevoix county herald., 1907-03-02

IL is no mere sentimentalism to say
that men should learn to think more
of what is due from them to others
than of what is due from others to
them. This is the church idea. 1t is
the idea also Of all who have greatly
served mankind. The real heroes OF
science never were moved in any de
gree by the thought of the recon
pense of reward" Patriots. If they
were truly patriots, were inspired by
no such motive. Washington refused
to receive one cent of salary for COM
manding the continental armies. His
idea was that he should do something
for his country, not that his country
should dc something for him. 1t was
the service and not the salary that APP
'pealed to him. Father Damien, who
went to minister to the lepers, and
who died martyr, looked on himself
as a slave to duty and to his brothers
who were in afTliction and misery.
When we think of such men as these,
and remember how the world has got
forward by the self-sacrifices Of men
and women, does not our passionate
struggle for what we call our rights
seem just q little vulgar? We fight
SO hard to get what we think we
ought to have-when perhaps we
ought not to have it at all-and rebel
SO fiercely against the withholding or
withdrawal of supposed blessings.
That is all very natural, of course, and
yet, remarks the Indianapolis News,
there is a more acknowledgements a
nobler-habit of mind. 1t is that habit
of mind which prompts men to serve
others rather than themselves.

James J. Hill Says Hard Times Are

then be out of work." said President
J.. j. Hill, of the Great Northern rail-

felt at present in the falling off of or
ders The beginning of this movement
is very evident in Chicago.
while / would scarcely call 1t a.
recession in business, it is moro OF
drawing in. The railroads in general
are curtailing their expenditures and
placing fewer orders. On our lines we
will finish the work we have under
way and that is all.
This movement toward economy is
scarcely perceptible, but il should be
sufficient to relieve ibe strain from
congested business In a way Il is a
good thing. Il is better so, as the cur
tailment is gradual. Otherwise there
might be a sudden slump with serious
results. The first tendency is toward
the curtailment of luxuries. Then there
will be a falling off in the amount Of
manufactured articles

Mrs. Cougar is right, remarks the
indianapolis News, in saying that
equal suffrage sentiment is growing
year by year, in so far at least as re-
lates TO municipal affairs. Probably a
majority of intelligent and liberal
minded men are now ready to admit
that women who pay taxes, women in
terested in schools and in the social
order-a list that includes majority
of the women in any community
should have voice in the regulation
of local affairs. Men will not vote to
grant such a change. however, until
women Enthusiastically manifest their
wish for it, and this they have not yet
done, since they are slower to adopt
progressive ideas than men.

A BIG PUWfR UEAl
Source of Carson River Secured for
Electric Development:

For some time past engineers
have been moving back and forth be-
tween this city and points along the
Carson river. 1t has been given out
that new power company has been
formed to generate electricity from
the waters of the Carson river. Sew
eral of the men at the head of the
movement, lately completed a trip
from this city to their holdings and
from that point to Yerington, Buck
skin, Virginia City, Wonder Ramsey
and other points, even as far south
as Goldfield This trip was to look
over the field in order to ascertain
the needs OF the camps in regard to
power The new people have even
gone to Reno, which is the head
quarters of the Truckee River Elec-
trio people.
The latest development in this mat
ter is the purchase of all the holdings
of T. B. RicKey at the head of the
CARSON IlNSi' iht? h''"H' tiS "SVuli
ing of the headwaters of the river,
such as Begley Valley, portions oi
Diamond Valley, Silver Creek, and
even part of Wolf Creek. This is
regarded as the greatest water right
in this slope of the Sierras. with a
fall that is figured will develop over
100000 morse power.
The first plant that will be installed
will be 1t WU0dfor1s, wnere a 10000
horsepower plant will be installed.
This work is fairly under way and
before this summer has passed the
stream from Hope Valley will be
harnessed. 1t is understood that a
portion Of this powe. will be taken
into Buckskin an Mason Valley.
AS to the people back Of this big
venture several conclusions have been
reached. One is that the Southern
Pacinc is baC. of the game and the
road is figuring on using the ire
mendous power for use trough the
big tunnel that is to be driver
through the Sierras. The powe1
along the Truckee has been taken W
by others and the S. p. has had t.
come this way for its electricity
