MRS. THAW GETS THREE
DAYS OF GOOD REST
BEFORE SHE IS
Again Put on GridirOn by Dis
triCt Attorney JerOme'S
TOrturing Questions.
JUDGE is ALLOWING TO
JEROME LARGE LATITUDE

New York, Feb. 22.-Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw has three days to rest and
prepare for the continuous ordeal
which she is undergoing at the hands
of the district attorney. The Thaw
trial was adjourned last night until
Monday morning. Mrs. Thaw then
takes the stand again and will be
forced to go into more details of her
eventful life. All day she is expect
ed to be on the stand and it is doubt
full If Jerome will be through with
her even then.
Various details of her life and its
connection with Thaw and White are
still to be brought out. OF course,
the actual truth of the story which
Mrs. Thaw told her husband and
which unbalanced his mind, cannot
be questioned. All the cross-exa
ination can develop is a doubt as to
the veracity of the witness-doubt
as to whether she really told him or
not That is all cross oss-examination
can show.
1t is for the jury to decide whether
the constant brooding on the story
Evelyn told Thaw about her treat
ment at the hands of White actually
caused arrangement of his mind suf-
ficient to make him incapable oi
knowing he was doing wrong wher
he killed White.

DUCK HUNTERS NAVIGATE
"S|LVERY RIO GRANOE"
SAND BARS IMPEDE PROGRESS
OF SHALLOW CRAFT BOATS
STANfI TRIES SCOW.

Percy Hawley returned last night
from a trip down the river in quest
of ducks. He got some ducks, also
he got ducked. But little things like
that don't bother a true duck hunter
so Percy does not count the ducking
in.
According to Hawleys story of the
chase, the river is rather shallow be-
tween Albuquerque and the Sabinal
lakes where he did most of his
shooting. The trip was made I'm a
light duck boat of shallow draft and
Hawley said he experienced much
difficulty in getting the craft off the
sand bars which impeded his pro-
gress.
Raymond Stamm and several COM
panions leave today on a duck hunt
ing trip down the river. They have
built a large and commodious scow
with a broad fiat bottom. which
permits the shooter TO stand in most
any position without danger OF dis
aster to the water should the boat
upset.
The capacity of the barge is suffi-
Client to carry four men with camp
equipage and all necessary parapher-
MALTA for an extended stay. They will
go south down stream.
Hawley believes they will find the
same sand bars he encountered on
his way down stream.
Several parties OF Albuquerque
sportsmen are down stream now.
They departed last Sunday but no
reports have been received here OF
! their kills up to this time.

Yesterday Ruppe Relieved the
Minority Strain by
Going
BACK TO CHEER HIS
FELLOW lONES0MERS
Most Of the Legislation Was Not
by Any Means OF SenSa-
tiondl Character.

Santa Fe, Feb. 22.-By the passage
of house bill No. 81 yesterday. the
house voted to abolish the office of
game and fish warden In New Mexico.
This is the bill which was introduced
about two weeks ago by Mr.. Mirabal,
who also wanted to abolish several
other territorial offices.
When the bill came before the
house 1t was with the recommended
ton from the committee on territorial
affairs that 1t be passed. There was
little argument. The report of the
committee was adopted and the bill
was put on its passage. The vote was
II ayes, 8 nays; those opposing the
passage of the bill being Abbott of
Colfax, Hudspeth. Martin, Moran and
Mullins. 1t was somewhat of a catch
as catch can for the minority for that
body was bereft of its aspiring leader.
Captain Littlefield Ruppe of Berna-
lilo county. Mr.. Ruppe voted AYE"
I'm no uncertain tone. He first inquir-
ed, however, II there was not anoth-
er bill before the house or soon to
come before the house, providing for
the office of game warden under bet
ter conditions. He was told that at
least there was another bill pending.
The minority thereupon went to pieces
and 1t was sort of guess work with
most of it's members just exactly how
TO vote. Several, however. have be-
come SO accustomed to saying no that
they responded in the good old way,
Mr.. Mirabal wanted to reserve his
vote for reasons ne did not state but
was forced to cast his vote by a vote
of the house standing 16 to s. There
were two absent, Mr.. Aldrich. absent
owing to illness, and Mr.. Deniston.

AT JOHNS HOPKINS THE
SOUTH is EXPLOITED.

Baltimore, Feb. 22.-Ths prlnclpal
address at the annual exercises to-
day in commemoration of the OPEN
ing of Johns Hopkins university, was
delivered by Harris Taylor, former
minister to Spain. His subject was
"The Return of the South to Pending
Problems" He regarded the thir-
teenth amendment to the constitution
as a declaration of independence, be-
cause it set the south free from a
dying institution. The first great mis-
take he declared was IN the enfran-
chisement of those entirely unpre-
pared for citizenship. The basic prin-
ciple upon which the new southern
conditions rest. he said, is that as fast
as their colored citizens become
qualified by education or property,
or both, for franchise, they should
be endowed with it. The south,
Taylor maintained. had reaped tre-
mendous benefit from territorial ex-
pansion.

TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LATE

forts to rescue the handful of sur
vivors who have clung to the re-

snow storm ragged all night, making
it impossible for tugs or life boats to
connect with the wreck. The cold
was intense but daylight revealed the
fact that six or eight persons had
survived.
How It Happened.
Captain Parkinson of the Holt
! steamship line, who was on his way
to Amsterdam on the Berlin to join
his vessel is the sole survivor thus
far who has reached the shore. He
| said this morning that the cataS-
trophe was due to the fact that the
| Berlin broached into a terrific sea as
she was entering the waterway, and
| before able to recover herself, was
dashed on the pier head and imme-
diately "crunched up like a concer-
ta." parting amidshps.
Wreck Reached at Last.
After thirty-four hours of almost
| incessant efforts and splendid work,
the Dutch life boat men reached the
steamer Berlin and ten of the surviv-
ors In the after part of the vessel
were saved. Buffetted and driven
back time after time, the Dutchmen
never relaxed their attempts in be-
half of the handful of shipwrecked
people. In the receding tide and with
some improvement of the weather

sons still living at $3.50 this after
noon.
The Very Latest.
Ten of the persons, who passed the
night upon the after part of the
wreck of the steamer Berlin, have
been rescued.
