WHAT Is DOING
THE WORLD OVER.
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS OF The WEEK.
crOss-s.amluation OF Mrs. Tnaw.

cross-sxamination OF Mrs, Thaw.
The Thaw trial was Interrupted last
week by the death OF the wife OF oGe of the
jurors. The jury was dismissed until
Monday, when the trial was resumed, The
defence succeeded In having Thaw's will
introduced as tending 10 show his dis
tuFbed mental state, A cOdicil provided
srOOoO Tor investigation and punishment
OF his murderers II he should die violently.
II also set apart sum for the prosecution
of White and another man ON account Of
their wrongs against certain girls, similar
TO those alleged TO have been commitsed
against Mrs. Thaw. Some expert testi-
mony tending TO show insanity in ThRw
was presented. Mrs, Thaw began her
eross-eXaminatiOn yesterday. She had
been permitted to tell the jury what she
recounted to rhaw that they might judge
OF the effect Of such a story on man like
Thaw. She was not asked II the story was
true on direct examination. When jerome
took her he asked n the story was true,
and in spite OF objection the court sus-
tainsd d the question, as showing her eredi-
bility, She averred the truth OF her story,
which gives jerome the chance he sought
Of disproying II, in any or all its details
which will probably 90 to the point OF
attacking her own assumption of inno-
cenCe.

Was Larenmont's Captain Coward 2

OF the nineteen persons, numbering ten
sailors, seven male and two female psssen-
gers, who made their way ashore in small
boats from the wrecked Joy liner Larch-
mont in Long Island Sound last week, two
have since died, leaving only seventeen
survivors. AS far as can be determined,
i40 lost their lives. Serious charges against
the captain, McNey, have been made by
some Of the saved. They allege that he
became as panic stricken as any of the
passengers when il was seen.that the ship
would soon sink, and that be ordered his
boat lowered and with less than its full
load rowed away, leaving the rest to their
fate. McVey admits that he pulled away
from the sinking craft soon after the col
lision, but in the hope OF picking up any
who might be afioat. Owing to the dark
ness and the escaping steam, he claims he
did not know but all had left the steamer.
An inve stigation will be conducted.

OF the committee in the matter of un-
seating Reed Smoot, senator from Utah,
on the ground of his apostleship in the
Mormon church, and its alleged toleration
of polygamy, and because it is alleged

the report of the investigating committee
favorable to Smoot in two hour speech.
1t is thought that Smoot will not be I'M

its own executive committees.
American experience with divided re-
sponsibility in Mayor and Council has
been so unsatisfactory that we also
have begun working toward unity,
but by plan the direct opposite of
the English. We elect a Mayor with
heads of departments, which he APP
points, the powers and functions of a
council for purposes both of legisla-
ton and administration. That, sub
stantially, is the plan of the consti-
tuition and powers of the Board Of
Estimate and Apportionment in New
York City, and that, substantially, is
the plan recommended by Mr.. Rey.
nolds for Washington.
But this plan, as applied to Wash
ington, may be a curious misfit. One
man responsibility, as all students ia
miliar with the history of American
municipal government are aware, has
been evolved in this country as a
means of meeting the inconvenience
end responsibility of party control
in municipal affairs. Bipartisan
boards and bipartisan councils too
often means the negation of any re-
sponsibility whatsoever. On the 9TH
er hand, all experience with appoint
i've authority administering the rule
OF an aristocratic class or any supe-
rior power has gone to show that a
board or commission, in which differ
ent views may find expression and
action may be taken only through
agreement, is more iudicious, more
flexible, more reasonable, more con-
siderate of rights, than the single or
one-man administrative agent Mr..
Reynolds apparently has failed en-
tirely to take this fundamental diff
ference of conditions into considera-
ton"
Mr.. Reynolds offers another rec
ommendation which is likely to give
those who profit by the 'carpet-bag'
ger" cry conniption fits. He suggests
that the man appointed as Mayor
shall not necessarily be resident of
the city, but one who has proved HIM
self a capable executive officer in any
other city of the country.
This is in line with the German
custom, which gives no heed to the
residence of a Mayor, so he has prov
ed a good executive.
1t is somewhat the same theory
en- which some people of Hawaii adj
vocate the selection of Governor OF
the Territory without regard to his
term or place of residence.
