SUITS ARE CONTINUED
NORTH COAST PROCEEDINGS
HELD OVER MONTH.
Individual Property Owners to Have
Innings Today Before Judge
Riggs Court.

The North Coast condemnation
suits have been continued until
March 4th. The proceedings Of the
North Coast against individual prop
erty. owners will come up before
Judge Rigg this morning at 10
o'clock, and will be rushed through
as soon as possible.
At the hearing Monday Engineer
Gates proposed new line for the
North Coast. This line Is Is feet
further west than the present loca-
ton, or 35 feet from the Northern
Pacific track, and would cost $17,154
additional to construct the line. If
the North Coast was to build on the
location proposed by Mr.. Gates there
would be ample room for the North
ern Pacific to double track their sys-
tenn through the gap without build
ing an embankment ON the east side
Of their present track. The location
is one that the Northern Pacific en-
gineers have testified would be as
good for a railroad as the one which
they have located on their right-of-
way. All through the evidence of
the North Coast witnesses it has
been shown that they could not move
the line further west without increas-
ing the cost of construction to =
great extent. They now come forth
and state that the line as proposed
by Mr.. Gates would be much better
than the located one and would cost
very little more.

Y. N. c. A. BOARD
GIVES CONTRACT
GIBSON & SMITH LOWEST BIDDERS
To Cost $50, 794 Exclusive of Plumb.
ing, Heating and Wiring
Minor Changes Made.

At meeting of the Y NJ. c. A.
board of trustees held Tuesday even
ing, with an almost complete repre-
sentation, it was unanimously iecid-
ed to award the contract for the cree
ton of the Young Mems Christian
Association building on the site on
South Fourth street, exclusive OF
plumbing, heating and wiring, to
Messrs. Gibson & Smith of Seattle.
The bid submitted by this firm for
the construction of the building a.
above is s36,794.
The main part of the structure 10
to be constructed of local sandstone
above the water table and of basalt
rock below the water table, laid In
range work. Several minor changes
were made in the details of the build.
ing since bids were first called for.
and all who bid in the first instance
were invited to turn in a second fg-
ure, with the above result
The building committee and the
entire board of trustees have care
fully considered for some months
this very matter and have come to
the unanimous conclusion that the
people of North Yakima would
rather see the building go ahead a.
this time, thereby saving consider
able sum of money. rather than wait
for prices TO go any higher. The en-
tire amount of money necessary is
not subscribed yet, but many have
suggested that the matter was not
definite enough to warrant their
subscribing. and il is hoped and con-
fidently expected that these will show
their practical approval of the action
of the board by seeing to It that tho
building is paid for.
The city of Spokane decided that
they were not up to date without an
association building. and now more
than enough to pay for the building
in that city is subscribed. Is North
Yakima any more up TO date without
such building than Spokane?
As soon as the question Of satis-
factory bond and the legal end of the
contract is settled, everything being
perfectly understood and clear. worx
will be begun by the successful bid
ders.

SERIOUS CLASH
Of ATTORNEYS
JEROME ACCUSER OF DELMAS
Alleging BY Implied Suggestion
Criminal Practices-Another
Alienist on the Stand.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Districr
Attorney Jerome and Dolphin M.
Delmas came together today in the
first serious clash between the coun-
sci in the Harry K. Thaw trial. The
California attorney, when directing
the defense, took exceptions to GER
tain statements of the prosecuting
officer and had inserted in the record
protest against "the misconduct
of the learned district attorney"
Jerome holly accused Delmas of try
ing to instill in the minds of the jury
the implied Suggestion that the op-
GRAFTON performed on Evelyn Mes
bit in 1908, before Thaw took her to
Europe was Of criminal nature"
when as a matter Of fact he said 1t
was for appendicitis. Delmas called
the attention of Justice Fitzgerald
to this saying of the district attorney.
stating the facts were not in evil
uChSS anu tudI sciy SeIlOuo eACSp-
zion must be taken to his remarks"
Send the jury out of the room IL
you want to-" exclaimed Jerome,
"but l am going to get this thing
straight. I am not going to have
these false impressions fostered be-
fore the jury"
DR.. Britton DeEvans, superintend-
ent Of the state hospital for the in
sane at Morris Plains. n. j., was tes-
tifying at the time of the disagree
ment. He declared that he was of
the opinion that Harry X. Thaw was
insane at the time of the tragedy
He had been called upon to answer q
long hypothetical question in which
reference had been made to "seri-
Gus of not capital" operation on Miss
Nesbit when the storm broke. Jus
tice Fitzgerald did not rule out any
of Jerome's remarks before the jury.
Delmas took care to have every ex-
ception he made seriously noted"
Evans was by far the most satisfac-
tory expert witness the defense has
so far produced. He detailed to the
jury his observations and examina-
tons of Thaw during eight visits to
the prisoner at the Tombs. and de-
clared it his opinion that Thaw was
suffering from "a brain storm or an
explosive or Illuminating condition
of mental unsoundness'' at the time
he shot White. Evans may be cross
examined tomorrow, though Evelyn
may be called to continue her story.
The defense may call other alienists
to testify.
