testimony.
There is nothing In the testimony to
show that both cabs were not going In
the same direction" said Mr.. jerome.
Nothing to show that Mr. White was
not building a house in that street at
that time"
After considerable argument the
question was amended to conform with
the testimony.
Now, DOCTOR" said Delmas. CON
sidering the question as amended, what
is your opinion as to whether the man
who committed the act complained of
knew Il was right or wrong?"
My opinion" replied DR.. Wagner,
with much deliberation, "is that he did
not know the act was wrong"
Reason Defective
you base your opinion on the fact
that he must have been suffering from
such a defect of reason as not to know
the act was wrongs"
''I believe his reason was so defective
he did not believe the act was wrong"
came the reply.
'oThat is ALL" said Mr.. Delmas.
Mr.. Jerome said he would request the
witness to step aside for cross exami-
nation later.
Mr.. Delmas announced that tomorrow
he would call a second alienist, DR..
Evans, to the stand. To save the time
OF the court he secured consent to sub
init Thaw's letters to DR.. Evans this
evening so that he could be i'm n posi-
tion tomorrow to testify regarding
them.
Mr.. Delmas also stated that the de-
fense would not take up mucl! more
time. The statement that several weeks
would be required to put in all the evil
dence for the defense, he asserted. was
not true.
Adjournment was then taken until

IN NEW YORK
Not Since the Cuban Revolution Has
the Metropolis Been the Rendez-
vous for So Many of
This Class
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Not since the
Cuban revolution has New York been
the rendezvous of so many prominent
exiles and insurrectionists as are now
in this city awaiting developments in
Venezuela.
Within two months there have gath
cred here a former vice president, two
ex-cabinet ministers and two former
governors of states. Several of these
men are generals and have seen much
active service. All of them are exiles,
who will return to Venezuela only in
case President Cartro is successful or
as revolutionary filibusterers as Gen.
Antonio Paredes is reported to have
done a few days ago.
Gen. Ramon Ayala, vice president OF
Venezuela in the Castra administration,
and formerly a member of congress, is
recognized as the leader of this colony
of eXiles. Another of the group is Gen.
Ayala's son-in law, Senior - Telleria,
former minister of industries and for
mer governor of the state of Lara. The
latter, with DR.. Carlos Leon, who is
here, served in Venezuelan cabinets.
Other Venezuelans here include Pedro
Escquiel Rojas, who was the secretary
general of the Matos insurrection; Or
tega Martinez, DR.. j. L, Andara, Gen
Emilio Fernandez and Gen. ZoelO Vidal
Gel Carlbe). Gen. Fernandez was for
merly governor of Caracas, and later
administrator of customs at La Guayra
The Venezuelans have numerous
meetings and conferences regarding
affairs in their country.

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE senate
today passed the army appropriation
bill carrying $S1,6OO,OO0. The amend
ment which permitted the government
to accept reduced rates on army sup
plies and permitted officers and en-
listed men to accept reduced transpor-
tation and an amendment increasing
by 20 percent the pay of officers and
enlisted men, were defeated on points
or order
Amendments were accepted to build
monuments to revolutionary officers as
follows:
To General John Stark at Manchester,
N. H, $4,000; to General Nathaniel
Greene at Guilford court house, n. c.,
$4,000: to General James Scrievener at
Midway, Ga, $4,000.
In the debate on the amendment al
lowing reduced rates Senator Spooner
took the position that the government
was not bound by the rate bill and If
it was so Contended the amendment
ought to be accepted to clear away any
doubt on that point.
Senator Beveridge took issue with
Mr.. Spooner in a statement that there
was no United States commerce. Mr.
Beveridge argued that there was n
commerce of the people," which was
not a state commerce and which in all
essentials was national in character.
Senator Carter secured the adoption
of an amendment placing William H.
Crook upon the retired list as a major
Mr.. Crook served as a private through
the Civil war and since then has been
a clerk at the White House.

Mr.. Jerome was on his feet with many
objections. He objected first on the
ground that the question embodied sew
eral matters which he declared were
not in the evidence. He said the evil
dence did not show that one of Thaw's
uncles was insane but that he was OF
unsound mind, and that Evelyn Thaw
did not state that she was drugged
but that the wine tasted bitter and that
i'm two minutes at the outside she be-
came unconscious. Both of these points
were changed to agree with Mr.. Je-
rome's demands. He also objected to
saying that White was attempting to
renew relations with Mrs. Thaw, He
said this had not been shown in the
evidence. Mrs. Thaw had seen White
only twice, and that there was Moth
ing to show that White had attempted
to renew relations.
In reforming the question Mr.. Delmas
said that Mr.. Whites cab turned
around and followed her on the second
occasion that she saw him. Mr.. Je-

One of the astonishing features
of our present industrial system is
the growth and persistency OF
vagrancy. Recent statistics show
that during the years 1905.
there were %. 1854 trespassers killed
by the railroads OF this country,
and that q, 1856 more were injured !;
Yearly all of them being tramps.
The tramp question has become a
national problem. But how shall
It be dealt with? Tramps and
trusts have been bred in such
mum Der of late years that they
seem to have the same origin and
very much the same nature. They
reap where they have not sown,
flourish in the same Jungle

The canvass of Mississippi by

tor has led to Mr.. Williams being
seriously talked of as candidate
for President. Mr.. Williams COM
bines the two great requisites as a

thu kminds in the party by his
sab Fairness and the power OF

easement in many other states,

been a volunteer to spread the
doctrines of Democracy and no
one has done it better.

Stati>iician Holmes of cotton leak
fame is approaching period. The
defense half way the proceedings

the most childish plea for the
move that it would be possible 10
conceive. Owing to the testimony
80 far advanced, il has become
plain that the defense could net
disprove the fact that Holmes had
sold advance information on the
crop and profited largely, though
not so largely perhaps as he might
have done. But the defense
claimed that there was no actual
law against his disposing of the
information if he saw fit and that
DO crime had been

DECLINES TO TALK.
Hartman Refuses to Enter Into Fur
Their Discussion for Newspapers.

New York, April AZ. H. Hartman
declined to talk to newspaper repres-
entatives about the report that he had
been working for his own political ad-
vancement in seeking to have Senator
Depew appointed ambassador to France.
Mr. Harriman'S attention was called to
a dispatch from Washington on that
subject but he could not be induced to
talk about it.
Mr.. Hartman was asked if he had
anything to add to his formal statement
and he replied:
Don't you think I've said enough
Doesn't it look as though you had
a big fight on your hands," was asked.
! don't think so. I've got nothing
else to do now except to attend to my
business.
Should your reply to the President
bring out another statement from him,
would you make an additional state
ment?" was asked.
That would depend on what the
Presidents rejoinder was, but please
don't press me to say any more about
| it," he replied.
DIR. Hartman said he knew nothing
| about q report that the Interstate Com
merce Commission would take steps 10
| compel him to answer the questions he
refused to answer in his recent testi-
mony before the commission in this
| city. He also disclaimed all knowledge
| of Il petition being filed with the COM
mission by lumber interests in the West
| for the establishment Of a through
| freight route over the Hill and Harri-
man lines. AS to the complaints from
lumber shippers that they could not get
the railroads to handle all the lumber
they wanted to send to markets. Mr..
Hartman said there had been great
deal of freight congestion in all parts
of the country.

per subsequently turned the copy over
to the district attorneys office.
Hill was employed in Mr.. Harriman's
office for q years. About a year ago
ne was discharged because, it was said.
of friction with other employees. He
left, however, a record of faithful SER
vice. Recently he entered the broker
ags. office of Decoppet e. Doremus. He
has wife and two children.
Hill was placed in a cell for the
night and will be arraigned tomorrow.
When asked whether he cared to make
any explanation, he replied that he was
too greatly perplexed TO discuss the
matter. Neither Mr. Hartman or any
one connected with his office would
comment upon the arrest.
