New York, March THE Thaw
trial ends its seventh week Mon
day, and 1t would seem that unless
some radical change in the course Of
procedure occurs It will be at least
two weeks and possibly three before
the jury renders a verdict.
That District Attorney Jerome has
no intention of letting the case go to
the jury if he can possibly prevent IT.
there appears no longer to be the
semblance of doubt. The prosecu-
tor has made it perfectly plain that
he would rather have the matter come
before a commission on lunacy MIR.
Jerome does not believe that Thaw
is in proper condition Of mind to be-
on trial Time after time. when MIR.
Delmas, the leading attorney for the
defense has interrupted him during

Jerome has retorted hotly. you

cutiOn's Demand for His Death.

unmoved Steve Adams listened today
while the state pleaded with the jury
to condemn him to death for the mur.
der of Fred Tyler Prosecuting At
torney night centered his argument on
the theory that the murder of Fred
Tyler took place azout August 6, 1902.

good albi for August TO- the date at
first named by the state, but insisted
that no alibi had been shown for the
morning Of August 6. He held that
Adams would have had plenty of time
TO commit the murder early i'm the
morning and reach Mason's cabin, tif-
teen miles away, In time for dinner.
Attorney knight stated that the one
definite date fixed was August 90 the
date when Boule was killed, and that

days or two weeks before the death OF
Boule
The prospect is that the case Will go
to the jury about Tuesday night.

GENERAL DEFICIENCY
BILL SIIORN BY SENATE

Washington, March 2.--The senate
today passed the general deficiency
appropriation bill. The bill carries
slightly less than $10,2O0,0OO. 1t was
amended by the senate by the eXclu-
sion of provisions aggregating $780,
600, among which We're the following
TO provide the expenses Of the United
States participation i'm the exposition
at Bordeaux, France, this year. $25,-
900.
10 defray the expenses Of the sen.

tary to the president from $4,000 to
$500.
To reimburse Senator Reed Smoot
for expenses incurred by him in de-
Tending his rights to his seat in the
senate, $4,000.
The Smoot amendment was the only
one to occasion discussion,
Senator McLaurin offered IN amend
ment which provided that the protest.
ants against Mr. SmoOt should re-
Ceive an equal amount. When this was
laid on the table he proposed that
half the amount should go to the pro-
testants.
slt was explained that Senator Smoot
had paid his attorneys 100000 and
the amount in the bill would only re-
imburse him partially for this eXpen-
diture.
1t was stated in opposition to the
amendment by MIR. McLaurin that
the government had paid all the eX-
penses OF attending witnesses, making
a total of more than $4,000

Washington, March 2.-There will
be no ship subsidy legislation during
the present session Of congress This
fact was practically conceded by all
when the senate supporters of tho
subsidy bill agreed today to allow the
subject to go over until tomorrow
The failure of the measure will be
due TO the opposition Of democratic
members, which was SO pronounced
as to cause them to diibuster for
more than an hour today
The position of the democratic sens
ators was made known to tlreir repub-
lican colleagues early today. Several
of them held an informal conference
and after deciding that the bill should
not pass in its present shape. they in
struCted their caucus leader senator
Blackburn, to confer this information
to the republican leaders. The repub-
liCans were therefore aware of the
probable fate of the bill when at 1880
o'clock Senator Gallinger, who had
charge of the bill moved To concur in
the house amendments. This motion
was Immediately met by a counter
motion to postpone consideration un'
til tomorrow. This was voted down
but various other motions, all dilatory
were introduced by democrats, and
Notwithstanding they were all de-
feated, it was perfectly understood
that the determined opposition at 50
late an hour meant the ultimate de-
feat Of the measure unless some
agreement could be reached
After this episode a cessation Of hos
tilities until 5o'clock was taken. Atthat
hour 1t was Immediately apparent
that no progress had been made to-
ward harmony. Senator Gallinger
then suggested further postpone
ment untn tomorrow at o'clock.

Santa Fe. Y. NJ. MarCh |.


= Mr.. VIII c. Barnes, of Las Vegas,
is in Santa Fe today to attend meet
ing of the New Mexico cattle sanitary
board, of which he is secretary. Mr..
Barnes has just returned from Wash
ington, where he has been for some
time as a member of President Roose-
velts special commission to consult
with the United states commission of
public lands upon the proposed law
for the leasing of the public domain.
During his stay i'm Washington, Mr..
Barnes received some very interesting
information as to the attitude of the
administration toward men and af-
fairs in New Mexico. He was re-
ceved by the president and had sew
eral conversations with Mr.. James r..
Garfield. who on March will sue
ceed Mr.. Hitchcock as secretary of
the interior.
Frequent efforts have been made
by enemies of Governor Hagerman to
create the impression that upon the
retirement of Secretary Hitchcock
from the interior department. the
governor would no longer have the
support and Endorsement of the de-
partment and the administration
Some OF these stories have gone so
far as to set the date for the COVER
nor's removal or retirement, and the
politicians who are eXertng them
selves to obstruct every effort of the
governor toward improving conditions
in New Mexico have joyiully pre-
dicted trouble for the governor upon
Mr.. Hitchcock's retirement, even go
ing to the extent of naming his sue
ceSsor.
In view of these stories, what Mr,
Barnes has to say Of conditions in
Washington becomes very interesting.
During my stay I'm Washington, +"
said Mr.. Barnes today, IL had three
interviews with Mr.. Garfield, who be-
comes secretary of the interior on
March 4. These interviews concerned
matters in New Mexico in which the
new secretary was Interested.
eat the close Of my third Interview
with Mr.. Garfield, ! said, Mr. Gar
field. you know Governor Hagerman
Is an appointec and protege of Sec
retary Hitchcock, who leaves his Of
flee as secretary of the interior on
March 4. to be succeeded by you. Now
under these conditions there Is among
the opponents of Governor Hagerman
in New Mexico feeling that when
you step into Mr.. Hitchcocks place
on March 4, one Of your first jobs will
be the removal Of Governor Hager-
man 'and the appointment of a new
man as governor of New Mexico.
This feeling. which is a very natural
one under the circumstances, Is in
some ways a hinderance to Governor
Hagerman in the carrying out of his
policies. and while ! now. after talk
ing with you fully realize that no such
movement Is contemplated, yet !
would like very much to have. per-
mission to tell the people back home
just how you stand on this ques-
tion.

Murder.
IBy Morning Journal Special Leased wire.I

Washington. March 2.-Organzed
labor has asked congress to institute
an investigation into all of the facts
and circumstances attending the ar
rest in Colorado of Charles II. Meyer,
William d. Haywood and George F.
Pettibone, officers of the Western
Federation of Miners, and their de-
pOrtation to Idaho to stand trial on
charges of completely in the murder
of Ex-Governor Steunenberg. To that
end Senator Carmack today intro
duced a petition signed by hundreds
Of working men and citizens, and also
had printed in the record the dissent
ing ouiniOn of Associate Justice Nc
Kenna to the opinion of the supreme
court of the United States, the court
could not inquire into the circum-
stances surrounding the alleged kid
naping" of the three men Senator
Heyburn then secured an order for
he printing of the majority opinion
Of the court.
The petition asks for the enactment
of "such laws and measures as may
be required to redress the wrongs
committed against Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone. and to safeguard and
protect citizens of this country frora

tire"
The fact that these men had not
been in Idaho for several years prior
to the time they were arrested for
compIicity in the Steunenberg murder
is recited. 1t is declared that the de-
cisIon of the supreme court that It
could not inquire into the alleged
"coneuiracv of the governors of Idaho
and Colorado" legaliZes the crime OF
kidnapping and puts IN the hands ot
