JERoME's ARGUMENT


New York, April 1O.-H was District
Attorney Jerome's turn in the Thaw
case today. In summing up the pros
ecution's case against Harry K. Thaw
Jerome disclaimed all intention of en-
tering into an oratorical contest with
address more powerful, more subtle,
more logical, has been heard in the
court room. From cold logic he pass
ed to biting sarcasm and then invec-
tive, WITH here and there a touch of
pathos. He had the closest attention
of the jurors and spectators, includ-
ing those of the Thaw family. His
defense of Stanford White, whose spir
it he said seemed to be lowering il
the court room begging to be heard
er, was uttered with expressiveness
and with tears in his eyes.
one O'Clock and at 2:14 Jerome re-
sumed. He may conclude in time for
Justice Fitzgerald to charge the jury
today.
new 1OTh, apr 1O"AIl
crowds were insignificant compared
to that which stormed the courtroom
doors this morning in the effort to
hear Jerome sum up the states case
against Thaw. The court did not con-
vene until 1870, and the rookn was
taxed to it's capacity when JercB r.
arose to address the jury. He began
by telling the jury they had been
wandering through fields of romance
for two days. He said the case on
trial was not one of rape, but of muir
der; that an appeal to the sympathy
and passions of the jury was a broad
departure from the duty of counsel.
There could, he said, be but one of
four verdicts, murder in the first de-
gree, murder in the second degree,
manslaughter, or mot guilty because
of insanity
Jerome referred sarcastically to
"Demeatia Americana" with which
Delmas had said Thaw was suffering,
which a man may fiaunt a woman
the capitals of Europe for
two years as his mistress and then
kill. He warned the jury that it would
be a violation of their oath to con-
slider ''Dementia Americana" declar-
ing thus that it had a status upon
the Atlantic seaboard. Jerome made
a fiery attack upon Evelyn, referring
to her sarcastically as an "angel
child" saying she seemed always
ready to go back to the human ogre
who had stripped her of her virtue"
Jerome said that hte voice of the
murdered Stanford White was crying
out to him, Cant you say one word
for me? Must 1 go down to the fires
of hell. unheard, undefended?" The
District Attorney denounced Evelyn
Thaws story as false.
This afternoon Jerome took up the |
character of Evelyn Thaw. He said
her diary was the key to the whole |
story. He said the police delivered
the diary to him the night before he
put it in evidence. 1t did not come |
from Evelyn's mother.

nrhe Land of Nod"

"The Land of Nod" was the offering at
the jefferson theatre last night, and 1t is
an unusual musical comedy, even in this
day of novelties in musical comedies.
From the very beginning of the play it
is different from anything else, and 1t
ends differently. During the action of the
play something new and different from
the ordinary is happening all the time.
1.-THE Land of Nod tells the story of
little girl who goes to sleep and dreams
that she visits land of queer people
where the king of hearts is the ruler. 1t
is a strange land, and all the people are
strange. Finally the Sandman. who seeks
to destroy the regime of the King of
Hearts. gains the upper hand and all
the people are transferred to another
land, even more peculiar than the Land
of Nod.
Naturally clever people are required to
interpret these characters and the COM
pany contains some clever people. More
than one strange comedian makes merry
laughter, and there are two clever women
in the company. The most conspicuous
woman of ability with THE Land Of
Nod" is Miss Ursula Marsh, the chorus
girl She is the life of the company, Vi
vacious and the possessor of a laugh that
is contagious If all the chorus girls could

THE HOUSE,

Washington, January THE House to-
day passed bill providing for judicial
review of orders excluding persons from
the use of United States mail facilities
after a debate extending over the major
portion of the day, and which was par
ticipated in by Representatives Crum-
packer of Indiana, author of the bill;
Overstreet Of Indiana, Dalzell of Penn
sylvania, Littleheld of Maine, Perkins of
New York, Payne of New York and Mann
of Illinois, who, in his role of director,
led the fight in opposition.
In presenting reasons why the bill
should be passed Mr.. Crumpacker said
the power given the postmaster general
under the statutes to issue fraud orders
was not at all an administrative discre-
ton. 1t rather partook of the nature of d
police power for the regulation of the
morals of the people of the country.
Mr.. Crumpacker contended that the
whole fraud order law was an unusual
proceeding In that if 1t had been con-
fined to institutions and practices that
were essentially fraudulent or were in
herently bad and criminal, "such as green
goods concerns. lotteries, hy-by-night in
stitutions, get-rch-quicS establishments"
as originally contemplated by Congress.
there would be no complaint against It,
Mr.. Mann read several advertisements
which he said seemed to show that these
concerns were still doing business, and
ought to come within the scope of fraud
orders He said the bill was defective and
that there should be no letting down of
the bars to permit doubtful concerns to
fleece the public.
The House at As p m. adjourned.
