Would Hamper Improvement.

To require such rates TO be arbitrarily
enforced might result in such reduction
Of revenue as would render extensive
improvement impossible. On the whole
am inclined to the opinion that trained

critics are better TO be trusted with the
making OF regulations for their service
than anybody with less expert informa-
ton.
Given the necessary authority. public
officers might, for example, conclude
that the cars were so heavy that they
were doing damage to the streets, and
require that lighter ones be substituted:
and that command might be, under all
the circumstances, one that If complied
with. would impose great hardship on
the company and the public.
For IL is reasonable 10 assume that en-

CONSPIRACY"
SAYS ADAMS
Declares His Confession Is
Part of Plot on Part
of Officials

WALLACE, Idaho, Feb. 2S.-That
there was deliberate conspiracy
formed among the officers of the state
and the detectives to inn
plicate the leaders of the Western
Federation of Miners in the assassina-
tion of Former Governor Steunenberg,
and that this conspiracy was to be
backed up by false evidence, obtained
by threats and bribes, is in effect the
charge made by Steve Adams before
the court today.
He said he was led along in his
confession to Detective Mcfarland,
whom he said, stated he wanted to
convict Meyer, Haywood, Pettibone,
ST. John and Simpkins, whom he call
ed cut throats.
Adams said he was promised IL he
helped. he was only to be taken to
Colorado as a witness and that the
Adams family would be cared for.
Confirms Part of Confession.
"They put me back in a cell with
Harry Orchard. who talked to me
about the need of backing up his story
I was somewhat frightened.
Next day MCFARLAND called again
AS he was leaving me called hin
back and said would do what ht
wanted me to-
Adams also said MCFARLAND wanted
the names of the officers of the feder.
alton used as much as possible.
Adams confirmed all the early par
of the confession about his family an,
his past history, but denied that par
relating to the plot to kill steunen
berg. and as to his life in the Marbl
Creek country.

''BLACK HAND"
DEALS DEATH
Kills NJ. Gallo In a SalOan
Row for Breaking
Confidence

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-One dead,
two others with serious bullet wounds
and three men under arrest are the
result of a free fight in Third avenue
saloon.
Michael Gallo, the dead man, is said
by the police to be prominent in the
Black Hand society.
Their theory is that the murder is in
the nature of an act of reprisal for a
breach of confidence on his part.
Louis Zimmerman, contractor, one
of the wounded, said ne was a visitor
at the saloon with a woman.
Suddenly there was shot. followed
by a fusilade. The room was so filled
with smoke it was impossible to see
anything.
Gallo had four bullets in his body.
Five bullets were found in the wall
in the back room, in which zimmer-
man says he was with his woman COM

THAW SUFFERER

Evans Examination Will
Prevent Trial Ending
This Week

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-Dr. Evans
rocaIled to the witness stand upon
.ho resumption of the Harry K. ThaW
,,,rder trial this morning, and his
-.a-axamination was continued by
n,strict Attorney Jerome, where it
mas left off when court adjourned yes
terday afternoon.
Last night he was given copies Of
,stters which are in evidence, as well
as the will and codicil of Thaw, that
no might be prepared for an examina-
.ion as to his theory as to whether the
documents contain evidences of un-
sound mind.
District Attorney Jerome spent 20
Minutes trying to have DIR. Evans say
he had carefully" read the documents.
Dr. Evans only reply was that he had
done the best he could.
District Attorney Jerome instructed
him to read the documents again, and
the doctor proceeded to do so.
Loss of Aesthetic Tastes.
DR.. Evans finally stated that several
Of the letters bore no addresses, there
fore there was little use in his attempt
to discover whether the writer was of
sound mind
Some of the letters, he said, showed
signs of mental instability"
by mental instability, do you mean
insanity?"
Not insanity in the sense that he
will remain permanently insane"
Dr.. Evans went into a detailed ex-
planation for the reasons of his de-
ductions.
He said the letter written in pencil
BY Thaw to Evelyn Nesbft showed a
lack Of the sense of proprieties, a loss
Of aesthetic sense, and various other
things showed the writer to be of un-
sound mind. in view of his position
wealth and luxury in which he had
been reared
The cross-examination of DR.. Evans
Is tedious, and probably will not be
concluded today, which precludes the
possibility of the defense finishing this
