Alleging that they Disseminated

" out OF business in short order.
Miller Explains Effect.
There are number of schools in the
iuvhAiNdil villages around 81. George
when are maintained almost solely bv

ier. Many of the children of school age
counted in these smaller districts when
the census IS taken in July go to St
George for their schooling and of course
are burden upon US there but we can
/ oetuer afford this than to have the ap-
porn0nment of the small districts so re-
duced by counting out this portion of the
chlldren of school age when the census
is taken
Senators Gardner and Johnson also op-
posed the measure on the same grounds.
Mr.. johnson moved to strike out the en-
acting clause, thus killing the bill, and
this prevailed without any serious oppo-
sition.
The other bill considered was senate
bill No. 81. by Hoilingsworth.. the princi-
pal objection to it coming from Senators
Seely, Miller Gardner and Johnson. The
measure provides that in all cities Of the
first and second class all children resid-
ing in the district shall only be entitled
to free school privileges. II seemed TO
be the consensus of opinion by the oppo-
sition that this was contrary to the spirit
of our common school system.
This means that if poor family is
stranded in Salt Lake its children cam

acquired q residence here" exclaimed
Senator Seely. and ] won't vote for any
such measure. it ISN'T right.
Senator Hollingsworth, the author, tried
in vain to explain and as a compromise
the bill was recOmmitted to the commit
tee on education.

Favored by Spooner.

The bill was Endorsed by Mr.. Spooner
who opposed Mr.. Nelson's proposition re-
quiring the banks to pay interest on gov
eminent deposits. as the money deposit
ed was still government money.
Whose money is il when it is loaned
out to stock gamblers, who pay the banks
interest?'' asked Mr.. Nelson.
This led Mr.. Spooners into a statement
that there would always be more or less
speculation in securities. but this did not
change his contention that the govern
msnt money should not be loaned out
when on deposit with banks.
Mr. SpOoner also cOmbatted the pro-

TRIAL ENTERING ON ITS FINAL
STAGES.

New York. Feb. 26.-Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit
Thaws long ordeal on the witness stand
at the trial Of her husband for the killing
of Stanford White ended today. Mr. Je-
rome finished his crOss-examination,
which had lasted through nearly five
court days. at the morning session. The
redirect and re-cross-examinations this
afternoon were brief.
The district attorney will tomorrow
morning begin his eross-examination of
DR.. BrttOn d. Evans. one of the de-
lenses alienists. Drs. Wagner. Deemar
and BinSaman viii be called in rapid or
der. The trial at last seems to be en-
tering or its final stages.
The completion of Mrs. Thaw's exam
ination followed the unsuccessful effort
of the prosecution to draw from Abraham
Hummei certain facts relating to the af-
fidavit which Mrs Thaw is said to have
made in HummeTs law office. In this
affidavit it is declared there was an
allegation that Thaw had beaten the girl
while abroad in 1903. when she told him
there was no truth in the story about her
relations with Stanford White.

Great Demand for Silver.
Mr. Newlands drew from Mr.. Aldrich
the admission that there was a
greater demand for subsidiary silver
coins than was supplied. Mr. Newlands
expressed the hope that the secretary
of the treasury would coin $4,000, 900 a
year in silver coins instead of 5000. 600.
This would. he said. support the price of
silver which he said, had risen from
fifty to seventy cents an ounce without
any government assistance. He wished
to see it at its normal price of $l.29 an
ounce The cry I'm 1896 had been, he de-
clared that nothing was to be considered
except the quality of the currency. Now.
the cry was that the quality was ade-
quate but that the quantity was in
sufficient Mr.. Newlands did not oppose

came to his office Oct q, 1908, and that
he dictated to a stenographer while she
was there. Justice Fitzgerald held that
under the rules of evidence covering
Mrs Thaw's testimony the introduction
of collateral facts was not permissible.
The district attorney is not allowed TO
controvert her testimony in any way. but
may test her credibility. Mr. jerome said
in open court that he realized that even
if he could show Stanford White was in
