IN WAY OF IHAW TRIAL
OTHER HOMICIDE CASES MUST

iTY PLEA.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Because of
a mixap in the various courts. the trial
of Harry K. Thaw. accused of the muir
der of Stanford White, may be delayed
beyond January 81, the late set. It
is likely that at that time there will
be no coutr room available for Justice
Greenbaum. who will try Thaw in a
continuation OF the November term OF
the criminal branch OF the Supreme
Court.
1t was intended that the trial should
be held In the court roo In which
Justice Fitzgerald opened the Janu-
airy term. However, there are three
homicide cases and the Plaza Hotel
assault case TO be tried before re can
give up the room.
Following the assault case is that

icide cases will consume the rest of
the month. at least, and that will leave
no opportunity to use the same court
room for the Thaw case.
The only court room to lie vacant
on the 21st will be n very small one
on the top floor, next to the library,
which is not large enough to con

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The Dis.
trict Court Of Appeals. in an opinion
by Justice Robb, affirmed the decree
Of the lower court, dismissing the pc
tition OF Gilmore NJ. Phelps for divorce
from Desdemona G. Phelps.
The opinion recites that the couple
were married December, 1898, Mrs.
Phelps then being fifteen years old.
They lived together in Washington
until June. 1904. and the petition for
divorce alleging infidelity, was filed
by the husband March. 1905. Phelps
had employed a detectibe TO watch his
wife.
In July, 1904, Phelps was taken Ill,
and his wife returned to him, at his
request. and nursed him. She was
with him four or five days, and it was
alleged that this condoned her original
offense.

THE eRAFTERs.

The Warrington Record goes after
the Marion county variety in vigorous
language as follows:
The present session of the legisla.
ture nov on at Charleston is perhaps
the most important session in the past
twenty years.
The people at the last election pro.
claimed with a large majority that
they were in hearty sympathy with
the State administration and the
workings Of the new tax laws. Yet
the same forces that have been in the
minority and have tried to discredit
the State administration have been at
Charleston for several days headed by
all the corporation lobbyists. trying
to organize the Senate so as to blocl;
or retard legislation.
How long must the people of the
great State Of West Virginia endure
this sort Of thing?
This country has some professional
lobbyists who are always on hand and
always take the side of the Corpora.
tons as against their home people.
If the choice of the people were
sovereign in such a matter as this

London, October. 26.-Great
Britain is now facing the possibility
OF the greatest labor strike in the
history of the United Kingdom
which may result In tying up all rail-
roads of the country. The voting
on the question of strike by the
members of the Amlgamated Soc
iety Of Railway Servants, of which
Richard Bell. M. p, is general sec
retary, was concluded today and the
result will shortly be made public.
1t Is reported that the sentiment a
mong the men is largely in favor of
general Suspension of work, in Or
der to secure the recognition of their
organization and new scale of
wages and hours.
1t is not likely that strike will
be declared Immediately upon the an
lfouncement of the result of the vote,
as the officials of the Amalgamated
Society are In favor of making last
effort to settle the dispute peaceably.
1t is likely that this attempt will be
fruitless, as the railway companies
have already made an unfavorable
and final reply to the secretarys de-
mand for recognition and higher
wages and shorter hours.
