TO DIscREp.T EvELvN's STORY.
Jerome Seeks to Introduce Hummel's
Testimony Of Affidavit.

New York.-After a forenoon ses-
sion occupied almost entirely by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome in bitter de-
nunciation of the defendant and his
wife, the trial of Harry X. Thaw for
the murder of Stanford White was
adjourned shortly after II o'clock
Wednesday until Thursday morning.
The prosecuting attorney found his
opportunity to attack Thaw and Eve
Ign Nesbit in arguing on the question
of the admissibility of the testimony
of Abraham Hummel.
1t was to enable Dolphin NJ. ,Delmas,
leading counsel for the defense, to
consult authorities and frame a reply
to Mr.. Jerome, and also to allow the
latter an opportunity of completing
the hypothetical question which he is
to put to his experts that the early
adjournment was ordered. Mr.. Jer.
Qme said he hoped to close the rebut.
tai for the people Thursday evening.
The district attorney asserted that
Hummel would swear Evelyn Nesbit
told him three days after her return
from Europe in 1903 that Thaw had
beaten her cruelty because she would
not sign papers he had prepared false
ly accusing Stanford White of having
drugged and betrayed her.

bill. II will now have to 90 Is the
house for that body's approval Of the
amendments. 1t looksas though this
approval would not be at once forth
coming, and that conference COM
mlttee Of members of both bodies
will ~ have to meet to adjust the mat
ter and perhaps draft new bill.
Procrastination is getting to be the
great bane of this session on all i'm
portant measures. The vote on tho
passage of the bill today in the SEN
ate was 43 for, and but against it.
The senate today also passed the
house bill calling for establishment Of
a farm machinery plant at the state
prison. There were 10 votes against
the bill. There is every probability
that this bill will now become law.
On motion of Senator D. M. Gum of
Grand Rapids, the senate adopted q
resolution for the appointment of two
senators and three Representatives for
anotherlegislative investigation. This
one is to look into the ACCESSIBILITY of
the establishment in Minnesota of the
lndeterminate sentence for the pun
lshment of all crimes, criminals to be
sentenced on the reformatory plan.
Legislative investigation committees
are now SO numerous, that if they
were all to convene at the same time
during session, there would be little
left of either body for the transaction
OF regular business. So far none of
the Investigations has developed any
thing startling.
The committee to investigate the
Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce
held session today, but accomplished
the usual little" l.. r. Jamme,
secretary, was the witness. He told
that the object of the chamber was
for the better handling of various
products for all parties interested in
such transactions. The membership
is now limited to $50. Forty one
members are located at points outside
OF Minneapolis, and not all in the
grain business. He said the reason
the farmers Exchange was not ad-
mltted as m ember, was that it had
withdrawn an application it had fled
for membership and never renewed it
though invited to do so. He emphat-
lcally denied that the chamber is in
any way a monopoly of the grain
business, Or fixes prices.
The house held no session today,
but will convene tomorrow.

st. Paul, March 12-James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern road,
was ., witness all this afternoon be-
fore the Sundberg committee of the
state senate which is investigating
the general subject of railroads. Mr..
Hill talked very freely, giving out
much information which, he has oft
before repeated. He was asked as to
whether he would be willing to let
the government operate his road.
cpd be glad to sell it to them at
what it represents as an investment,
f60, 600 a mile" he replied, but I
think before long the government
would feel like the man who drew an
elephant at lottery; that he would
have to get'up' another lottery to get
rid of the thing !. i"
Mr.. Hill denied that Minnesota
shippers are compelled to pay any of
the heavy expenses of operating his
road over the Rockies. ION the con-
trary," he said, :''if it were not for
the business our line gets outside of
of Minnesota, shippers in this state
would have to pay 80 to 40, per cent
higher rates to keep the road going.n

sure was amended, however, so as to

the house today refused to concur in
the senate amendments to the Spooner
two-cent railroad fare bill, and the
author of the house file, L. G. Spooner
asked for conference committee of
five. Spooner, Thayer, Wells, Hand
Ian, and Morse, were named. They
will confer with like number from
the senate, yet to be appointed. The
drafting of new bill as a result of
this conference is not unlikely.
R. J. Wells of Breckenridge, offered
bill in the house today for the tax
alton of public utilities on a cross
earnings basis. Earnings Of $500, 900
are to pay 81 per cont; up to
81 100000, per cent; in excess of
81, 100000, 81 per cent. Street car,
gas, water, all conduit and subway
systems, come under this classification
for taxation.
Senator Henry McColl of St. Paul,
introduced an important measure in
the upper house today. 1t provides
for election of United States senators
on the plan of the Oregon law; that
they be nominated at a state primary.
and later 60 on the general election
ballots to be voted upon for election
by the people.
The semi-centennial exposition bill
was awakened from long ma p in the
senate today by its author, J. NJ.
Hackney, and several amendments
attached. The most important was
one adding the names of the original
commission which reported on the
ACCESSIBILITY of the exposition to the
governor, to the board of managers
for the show. These are Jos. r.
Mannix of Minneapolis, who two
years ago originated the semi-cen-
tennial celebration idea when ahouse
member; F. B. Lynch, of St. Paul;
M. B. Cullom of Duluth; Chas. @.
Whitney of MARSHALL; and c. H.
Kohler of Minneapolis.
Something of a surprise came in the
senate today when the judiciary COM
mittee recommended for passage the
bill calling for constitutional amend
ment to allow woman suffrage on an
equality with men. The bill will next
come up in committee of the whole
for debate.
Harrison White, house member,
has thought of another way the legis.
lature can spend a bunch of money,
and incorporated it. in bill. The
measure provides for investment of
SO, 600 in statue of ''Peace' for the
new capitol, to be copied after the
Minnesota memorial in the Vicksburg
military park.
James J. Hill was before the Sund-
berg committee of the senate again
today. This is the committee which
is stirring up the general subject of
railroads. Mr.. Hill told the commit
tee that the time is near when wes-
tern rates will all have to be raj sed
by the railroads. He admitted his
road had never missed dividend
period, but contended that if his road
gave good service at existing low
rates, the company is entitled to earn
whatever profits it can.

RESUME OF THAW TRIAL.

That Harry X. Thaw stripped Oh
Evelyn Nesbit's clothes and fogged
her cruelty before she was married to
him because she would not tell lies
about Stanford White was argued
by District Attorney Jerome In court.
The prosecutor was telling, in the
hearing of the jury, what he intended
to prove by the testimony of Abraham
Hummel, the disbarred and indicted
lawyer. his arguments serving the
same purpose as would the testimony,
should Justice Fitzgerald overrule
Mr.. Delmas' objections and permit 1t
to be given.
District Attorney Jerome scored on
the defense in the Thaw trial by Sc
curing the admission of testimony by
James Clinch Smith, brother-in-law OF
Stanford White. who said he talked
with Thaw just before the killing and
he seemed entirely sane. The attor-
neys made tentative plans for the clos
ing stages of the trial.
District Attorney Jerome attempted
10 introduce testimony to disprove the
story told by Evelyn Nesbit Thaw' out
was completely blocked by the ob]ec-
lions of Attorney Delmas and the re-
newed ruling of Justice Fitzgerald
shat young Mrs. Thaw's story was ad-
MISSILE only as tending to show the
effect it might have had in unbalan-
cling the defendants mind. and tnat
its truth or falsitv is not material.
The defense in the ThS.w case nav
ing rested, the trial was adjourned 10
give Jerome a chance to arrange his
testimony in rebuttal. Mrs. Evelyn
Thaw was subpoenaed to bring into
court letters from Stanford White.
May Mackenzie and Howard NesDlt
also will be called on to testify. 1t
was reported that if Thaw is acqult-
ted his family will seek 10 separate
MIN and Mrs Thaw
Harry Thaw received long COM
munication from Dolphin NJ. Delmas,
his senior counsel. and Prosecuting
Attorney Jerome and his experts
framed a hypothetical question.

MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.

St. Paul, March 1.-The house held
= short session Saturday, considered
q few bills ON general orders, advanced
some to the calendar, then adjourned
till Wednesday morning. This was
because many members desired to be
at their homes Tuesday when town
elections take place throughout the
state. The senate, however, will con-
vene Monday evening. ,.
The two committees on appropria-
tons have decided that appropriations
tor state institutions, which will come
close to $4,000, 900, will have to be
raised by an adjustment Of the state
tax levy. Because of the fact that
the tax amendment which was appar-
emily carried at the last election may
be defeated by = recount being de-
manded at Duluth, the finance COM
mittees of both branches of the legis-
lature are fearful of trusting to
raising money to run the state
institutions thru special bills which
depend on the LEGALITY of the con-
stitutional amendment. 1t is possible
the half mill which State Auditor, s.
G.. Iverson estimated would be all
that was necessary for rate, may be
increased to one mill. #
There is indication that the railroad
bill hearings which have been going
on for some weeks, may be drawn
out a much longer time. Friday, the
whole afternoon was taken mp in the
senate chamber with hearing on the
eastman distance tariff bill. A num-
Der of delegations which desired to
be heard, especially one from Duluth,
didn't get a chance to "get in word
edgeways," so will be given chance
later, the committee agreeing not to
take action on the bill till these peo-
pie are heard. Tho great objection
urged against the eastman measure
is the demand of an equality in the
"rate per ton, per mile" and it is
possible the measure may have this
section cut out.
