and frankly awaiting developments.
Administration influence seems to
have turned toward Mr.. Lucien Dur

port of Mayor Yeiser. If he announces.
This will cause a surprise, as it was
understood that Mayor Yelser was
urging Hon. Charles Reed to an
nounce. He has even been accused
OF inditing the letters to newspapers,
calling on MIR. Reed; but these let
tiers seem to be genuine and spontan-
eous@ Incidentally, many of Mr..
Reeds friends are urging hi INTO run.
AT the same time. covert threats are
being sent to him in roundabout
way in an apparent effort to brighten
away his ambition.
G. R. Davis. seems to be certain
ty, whenever he gets good and ready
to announce, eand he has strength
that must be reckoned with. In the
meantime Tom Harrison is going
ahead securing pledges of support.

SWALLOWS BRASS KNOB.
Little Girl Is In Serious Condition
as Result.

Inability to eject up a brass bed

O'Clock the little girl, while playing
with a knob taken from a brass bed,
put II in ner mouth and in rising
from the floor hurriedly, swallowed
1t. Emetics have been given to her
and while she yomits freely, the
knob is still in her stomach. If the
knob cannot work itself out of hel
stomach, it will be necessary to OPP
crate on her to remove it. The vomit-
ing probably will prevent any pois-
onous substances gathering in her
stomach from the brass knob. DR.. B.
B. Griffith thinks that it will be
known in SO or as hours whether an
operation is necessary.

Way Onened for Jerome.


Alrs. Thaw today entered upon the
ordeal of her cross examination and
before Jerome had had the witness in
charge half an hour he had secured
from the court a ruling which appar-
emily opens a way for bringing into
the trial Of Thaw, all manner of evil
dence which may tend to discredit the
defendants wife.
Heretofore it has been held that
rules of evidence protected, in ex-
animation, Mrs. Thaw and that re-
gardless of whether her story was
true or false the fact that she had
told It to her husband was the one es-
sensial point. Mrs. Thaw had been al
lowed to repeat the story so that the
jury might judge as to its effect in
unbalancing the mind OF the man on
trial for the murder of White.
Jerome by simple question
Opened the way for the introduction
of testimony tending to show the
truth or falsity of Mrs. Thaw's story.
He asked the witness: "Was the
story you told Thaw true "
at was" she replied firmly.
Delmas objected strongly to the
question, but Justice Fitzgerald he'd
it to be competent as tending to show
the credlbility Of the witness.
Mrs. J. J. Game Is Called.
Jerome brought from Mrs ]. ].
Game, Of Boston. a friend of Mrs.
Thaw. who took the witness stand
during the morning session. many
material points as to the movements
of Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit,
following their return from Europe
in 1904. including the published in
cident of their being elected from
the Hotel Cumberland in this city
the proprietor insisting they should
register as man and wife or leave
their suits which adjoined In bring
ing out these facts Jerome denied
that he was attacking Mrs. Thaw and
said he was simply testing the credi-
bility of Mrs. Game.
Jerome seemed reluctant to begin
the cross examination of Mrs Thaw
today desiring to have the matter
postponed until Thursday morning in
order that he might determine wheth-
err or not further examination of
the witness was necessary on the is
sue involved In the case But Delmas
insisting, Jerome started the cross
examination.
