NEGOTIATIONS MAY FAIL
600 Railway Men Is the Most
Likely Thing in the World.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-An acute stage

conductors and train service employees,
which may develop into complete sew
erance Of relations Negotiations have
been going on for nearly month. The
men are asking for an eight-hour day
and an increase in wages of Is per

statement saying they were willing to
grant an increase Of 8 per cent in pay
and that this was their final answer.
The union officials reply to this
announcement was that If such was
the case it would he useless to con-
tinue the negotiations looking to a set

Refuses to Produce Letters-Indict.
ment for Mrs. Thaw?
During the session Of the court Del.
mas sent a genuine thrill through the
court room by declaring that he had
been informed it was the purpose OF
the district attorney to indlct Mrs.
Thaw. Jerome denied that any such
statements had been made. He did
not deny the purpose. This incident
occurred when Jerome demanded GER
tain letters from Stanford White which
Mrs. Harry Thaw said were in Attor-
ney Hartridge's possession. Hartridge
was put on the stand and refused to re-
ply to some questions, when Delmas
arose and stated that Hartridge had
peen retained by Mrs. Thaw to pro
tect her interests when she had heard
the threats that she was to be indicted.
When Mrs. Thaw went back on the
stand she said she gave the letters to
Harry Thaw, but was perfectly willing
that they should be produced. Then
Jerome had a subpoena made out for
Hartridge, and again demanded the
letters. Hartridge refused to produce
them and Jerome appealed to the
judge, who told Jerome that his sub
poena was lacking a necessary atfida-
Wit and there was nothing upon which
the judge could act. Then Jerome di-
rected the preparation Of the affidavit,
but made no further move.
The session ended with a squabble
rs to the examination Of two medical
witnesses from Pittsburg who wanted
to get back to their patients, but the
defendants counsel insisted that the
examination of Mrs. Thaw should pro-
coed. The matter was finally dropped,
1t being made known that the medi-
cal witnesses would remain to testify
when wanted.

that some Honduran troops clashed

ON STANFORD WHITES PAY ROLL
Drawing Money from Him While
Abroad with Harry Thaw.

Mrs. Thaw also was forced to ad-
nit that when she and her mother
went abroad with Thaw in 1903 they
were still drawing upon the bounty OF
Stanford White. Evelyn declared that
she had a letter Of credit for 500 or
$500 which was given to her by White,
and which she later turned over to
Thaw. There was still a balance in
the Mercantile Trust company to her
order also. But mama got all Of that, -
said the witness.
Jerome dwelt for a long while upon
the subject Of the cablegrams which
Thaw is said TO have sent to White.
He brought out that the cabIegrams
were sent after Thaw knew of the
relations which had existed between
Miss Nesbit and the architect Mrs.
Thaw would not admit that she knew
positively who sent the cablegrams or
whether her name was signed to them.
A letter written by Mrs. Thaw in
1904. and telling of her gay life In
Paris with Harry Thaw and a bunch
from the Tenderloin" was read to the
jury BY Jerome. This brought out
more testimony as TO the Dead Rat. !"

sections, but a few adverse reports are
still received and total transactions
again felt the curtaiHng influence of a
holiday At the large cities there Is
a good attendance Of interior mer-

lines. Mercantile collections are inn
proving, but some complaints are heard
regarding extensions, especially from
points that experienced greatest inter-
ruption to traffic from the recent
storms.
Industrial returns are uniformly en-
couraging, mills and factories having
SO much business in sight that no ma
chinery is idle except in cases where
fuel deliveries are unsatisfactory, or
the labor supply inadequate. Farm
staples are fairly steady in pric
eral foreign purchases precluding any
possibility Of excessive stocks to be
carried over from last years large
crops, and preparations for the new
season promise another big acreage in
grain and cotton. New contracts for
steel products are constantly pending.

remarked that no Baptist college in

do so.

Two Days More of 1t.
TOO MUCH FOR REPORTERS
Newspaper Women Cannot Stand 1t
and Leave the Court.

anu Leave C0o court
When Jerome was haying the wit
ness with questions to her relations
with White, carrying her from place
to place and demanding to know ev-
cry detail, and while bitter tears were
yelling to her eyes, two newspaper
women accustomed to harsher scenes
Of life left their places in the court
room and made a hasty retreat out Of
the big portals. At last the prosecutor
himself relented somewhat and sug-
gested that the proceedings suspend.
Delmas thought he detected an unfa-
vorable slant to this, and protested
that the witness would be able to pro-
coed. Mrs. Thaw wiped her eyes,
stiffened up hit, and nodded to
Jerome to proceed.
After bringing out that her relations
with White continued for same time
Jerome went deeper. Mrs. Thaw adj
mitted that in 1908, after the return
from Europe, she spent the night at
Thaw's apartments in New York and
that for three weeks he and she oc-
cupied connecting apartments at the
Grand hotel in this city. Mrs, Thaw
admitted freely and with frankness
that the champagne which she had
declared had tasted bitter the night
she lost consciousness In the mirrored
bedroom was no more bitter than 9th
er champagne she had drunk. In fact,
she declared it tasted like all the rest.
She denied that she had intended for
the jury to assume otherwise.
Mrs Thaw made what was consid-
cred perhaps her most damaging state
ment to the defendant when she said
he had showed her copies of cable
grams that were being sent to STAN
ford White from Europe asking him
to use his influence with a certain man
in London TO prevent Mrs. Nesbit from
raising a fuss" and interfering with
Evelyn continuing in the company OF
Thaw.
