1t is understood that there Is ma

By Recent Adverse
Legislation in Var
ious States
TO REDUCE EXPENDITURES
By Curtailing Extensions and
Other improvements
Country Will Suffer.

Chicago, March IA dispatch to
the Tribune from New York says:
Beyond the slightest doubt inner
wall street believes that check to
the general business of the country
has resulted from the present railroad
situation and that this check will
grow more apparent. The activity of
the various state legislatures has
aroused thoroughly the large railroad
interests of the country. The cost of
borrowing money has been increased
and there will therefore be marked
reduction in the expenditures of the
railroads.
Two Kinds Of Courage Needed.
In an interview given out by e. H..
Hartman yesterday on certain
futures in the railroad situation he
said that two kinds of courage were
needed in developing and directing the
affairs of the great railroad systems
Of the country. One is to make large
expenditures when times are dull and
the business outlook is poor, and thus
secure money, labor and materials at
a low cost. The other kind, he said,
| is to be able to discontinue expendi.
lures of funds for the making of i'm
lprovements when business Is good
money dear and labor high. This kind
i of courage he said would enable a
railroad by waiting two or three years
to make improvements at reduction
of 20 per cent in the cost of labor,
. money and materials. He considered
such saving good profit for the
shareholders.
! An Unmixed Evil Says Hartman.
Hartman was asked:
would such a check of business
be the worst thing that could hap
Ipen?"
1T might be an unmiXed evil
/ Hartman said THE railroads now
!, have more business than they car
4 handle. A slowing up on this would
mean the curtailment of many expen
4 ditures, and an increase of the sur
plus of the roads. It would also mean
a lessened demand for labor and q
/ reduced demand for money. These
lin consequence, would become cheap

CASE AGAINST
THAW WEAKENS
Court Rules Out
Admission of Tell
Tale Affidavit
ANOTHER DELMAS VICTORY
He Entered Vigorous OBJ
jection--- Experts Placed
on Stand.

New York, March 14--After Abra-
ham Hummel had been called to the
stand at the opening of the Thaw trial
today, Counsel Delmas began his argu-
ment in reply to that made by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome as to the ad-
Of the evidence Hummell
had to offer regarding the affidavit
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit was alleged to
have made in his Office.
HummelI's Testimony Barred.
When Delmas had completed his ar
gument, Jerome responded briefly and
Justice Fitzgerald sustained the OBJ
lection made by Attorney Delmas, say
ing that the cases cited by Jerome
were not proper authority on the
question under consideration. The
ruling seemed to bar all Of Hummelr S
testimony, but Jerome nevertheless
proceeded to question him and soon
there was a dramatic clash between
the district attorney and Delmas.
Jerome Ignored Ruling.
"At the interview in your office,
asked Jerome, did Evelyn Nesbit
prior to your debating anything, tel
you that she had told Thaw that il
was not true that White had drugged
and ravished her?'
Delmas was on his feet in an instant
to object. but before he could do SC
and Immediately after Jerome hac
ceased speaking, Hummell said In Q
loud voice:
"She certainly did"
HummeII Arraigned BY DeImas.
"Delmas looked at the witness ant
with scorn in his voice said; ANT
you call yourself a lawyer"
Jerome objected to Delmas al
dressing his remarks to the witness
and stated that he further understood
Delmas to have said that he woult
not object 70 an answer to such
statement and turning to Hummell, Je
rome said:
you heard me reserve that right
didn't you?"
I did," replied Hummell, not tn,
least perturbed.
Delmas then moved that the ques
| ton and answer be stricken out bu
before Justice Fitzgerald could .rul
he said:
Through the extraordinary conduc
of the district attorney this questio
and answer are in the record. LIE
them stand; waive my right"
Another Objection Sustained.
Jerome then questioned the witnes
about Thaw wanting Evelyn to sig
the paper accusing White of ravishin
her and Delmas Immediately made ol
lection. The objection was sustaine,
State's Experts on Stand.
The hypothetical question whic
Jerome put to his six experts this a
ternoon and on which he asked thel
to base their opinion as to Thaw
sanity, covered practically all the ey
dence in the case. 1t contained abol
$4,000 words and throughout Tha
was referred to as III. X. T." al

ready Submerged
By Water
WORST IN IS YEARS
All Streamsin in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Kentucky Out of
Banks---Many Drowned.

Pittsburg, March li.-Pittsburg is
in the throes of one of the greatest
floods in its history The records of
the past ten years have already been
broken and the Allegheny River is
still rising, II the rise continues at
the present rate the record of 1884,
when the water reached its highest
stage since 1895, will have been
passed before nightfall The stage in
1884 was thirty-hve feet four inches.
Today at 10 O'Clock the high water
marks registered thirty-two feet with
the water creeping up at the rate of
six inches hourly and the river Is still
rising at all headwater points.
Flood Conditions General.
Every tributary along the upper rlv-
er is swollen and dispatches from all
sections of western Pennsylvania re-
port the smaller streams out of their
banks and the surrounding districts
submerged. The weather bureau pre-
diets thirty-four feet or over at
Pittsburg. If this stage is reached
the food will not only be the greatest
in seventy-fiye years but the most
disastrous in the history of the city.
Great Damage to Property.
1t was estimated early today that
the loss from the closing down of
many large manufacturing plants
would exceed half million dollars
and that damage to property from
| high water would be much more.
Nine Victims So Far.
Nine deaths have been attributed to
the flood so far. These include three
men killed in the collapse of the Har-
mersville bridge yesterday and two
men drowned last night when row
boat capsized. Other fatalities are re-
ported from different places.
Rivers Raging in Ohio.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, March A. 1hs
food conditions throughout the Mus
kingum district are unprecedent and
are growing worse hourly. The Mus
kingum and Licking Rivers are al
ready out of their banks in this city
and more than hundred homes have
been invaded by the flood waters.
With one exception every railroad en-
tering the city is tied up.
Three Drowned at GAINESVILLE.
Three Hungarians were drowned this
morning as result Of the flood. A
score or more of them were living in
a house that was surrounded by the

The Death Of Judge Andrews.

Augusta could lose few citizens whose
death would cause such genuine sorrow
as does that Of Judge Albert G. An.
drews. For almost Is years he has
presided over the municipal court OF
our city, a position of trust and re-
sposibilty in which he has been faith
full in the discharge of every duty. But
it is MT enough to say of him that he
was the upright judge, efficient and
impartial. He was more than that.
He was broad minded and big-hearted
man, full of kindness and sympathy for
the unfortunate, always tempering jus
tice with mercy and daily extending a
helping hand TO somebody in need of
assistance. If all those whom he has
befriended in a special way, all those
whose lives have been made brighter
and better by his efforts in their behalf,
all those erring ones whom he has Civ
en- start upon the right pat..--if all
these should bring each a single bios
buried beneath u mountain of flowers.
Augusta will miss Judge Andrews
He came here first in 1879 as the repre-
sentative Of the town Of Cornish in the
Legislature and it has since been his
home. No mar was better known by
all our people and no man OF our city
could claim greater number of
friends. He was active in fraternal
circles and loyal, generous and true in
all his relations. The temperament
which made him peculiarly adapted to
the discharge of his duties as municipal
judge. made him a public spirited citi-
zen. 4 good neighbor and a friend who
never failed. His influence will long
be felt and his place Will be very hard
to fill.
