The finance committee OF the house will
not recommend an appropriation for the
STATE Board OF Health. The last legisla-

tice medicine from those who hold d.
plomas from Nebraska colleges and S3
from those who hold diplomas from outside

equally between the secretaries.
The statute makes 1t plain that this is
all the money which is to be spent on this
department and members believe the ap-
preparations in the past have been mis-
appropriation" The committee has not
been furnished with statement OF how
much money the board Of secretaries has
received and 1t has no information regard

Sensation on Redirect Exam
inatiOn of Mrs. Thav.

NEW YORK. Feb. 22.-The principals
in the Thaw trial spent the day in rest,
everyone apparently relishing the respite
from the scenes which marked this weeks

resumed next Monday morning It is eX-
pected that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw will
have entirely recovered her oomposure,
and be prepared again to take her place in
the witness chair. On Thursday II was
said the young woman was on the verge
Of Illness and that a cup of broth had
been her only sustenance for two days.
She was so weakened as the result of her
days experience that she retired imme-
diately upon reaching her apartments and
did not arise until late today. The only
reason which took her from her bed even
then was the call she had promised to
make upon her husband in the Tombs
prison. Ordinarily visitors are not al
lowed in the big gray building on holi-
days. but an exception was made today
with regard to Harry Thaw's wife and
counsel
Mrs. Thaw on direct examination identi-
fed forty-two letters as being in the hand
writing of Stanford White. The letters
were not written to her, but TO anothe
girl. Mr.. Delmas evidently is holding
these letters for introduction during tho
redirect examination and evidently hopes
to have them admitted as offsettlng some
thing Mr. Jerome was expected to bring
out on cross-examination. No intimatlor
has been given as to what the letters
contain or to whom they were written
They may constitute a new element OF
surprise, which is yet to be injected into
a case which has already been so prolific
of astounding Incidents
The district attorney will keep Mrs. Thav
on the stand at least a day and hal
more and may even stretch his searching
cross-examination through twice tha
length of time. 1t will depend upon how
Mrs. Thaw feels at the end of this periot

BAILEY DEFENDS HIMSELF
Texas senator Says He worked for
Constituents at washington
without Fee.

AUSTIN. Tex, Feb. Ex-senator Bailey
was on the stand before the legislative
investigating committee all this morning
under cross-examination.
The principal statements brought out as
sertions by Senator Bailey that while his
critics had repeatedly tried to show that
he only performed public service for private
gain, that the facts showed that they were
presenting falsehoods to further their ends:
that while they had placed many men on
the witness stand to prove that he had bor-
rowed money from them; that they had
selected only his special friends as wit
nesses and had been very careful not to
summon as witnesses hundreds of men In
Texas for whom he had done great service
at Washington in many ways and from
whom he said he never asked nor received
the slightest compensation; that hundreds
Of Texans could testify as to his public
work in their interest without a cent of
compensation; that all the insinuations and
suggestions that he had done service for
pecGniary remuneration not only was un-
just, untrue and most contemplate, but
evidence to what ends his enemies were
being driven to besmirch his name and at
tempt to wreck him
The house committee voted to close the
was a deadlock in the senate committee
The house committee adjourned until Sat
urday morning.
Senator Bailey made his closing speech
In which he said the investigation was the
result of a political conspiracy. for which
he charged William Randolph Hearst was
responsible. Mr.. Bailey characterized the
charges brought by Representative Cooke
as Calumny. He went as he told of the
alleged prosecutions by his political enc
mics. He claimed that President Sam
Houston had been prosecuted and that
Stephen F. Austin had been driven into
retirement by the prosecutions OF political
enemies in Texas. There was a contest
of the question as to whether the sub
committee should go to st. Louis and
other points to search for II. Clay Pierce
and the house committee decided to aban-
don any attempts to secure this evidence.
The present indications are that the in
vestigation will be transferred to the floor
Of the Legislature.

JEALOUSY CAUSE OF MURDER
Mrs. Michael Mcdonald in Lucid
Moment Reveals Motive for
Killing Guerin.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22-Whilei raving in her
cell at the police station. Mrs. Michael Nc
Donald, who shot and killed Webster s.
Guerin, an artist yesterday, told the police
enough to lead them to conclude it was
jealousy and not blackman that led her TO
Kill red alleged clandestine lover. Made
desperate by a report that Guerin was en-
gagged to marry a west side society girl
the police think. led the woman to shoot
Guerin. 1t is his brother, however, who is
to be married. Physicians said tonight
that Mrs Mcdonald shows signs of i'm
provement and that in a few days she wfli
probably recover.
With her mind almost CO oletAly
wrecked, Mrs. Flora Mcdonald, W e
terday shot and killed Webster s. Guerin,
was removed last night to the annex OF the
Harrison street police station, where her
husband, Michael c. Mcdonald spent most
of the night with her.
After her removal her condition became
gradually worse, and she could neither
recognize Mcdonald nor others, who had
questioned her earlier In the day. Bromides
and hypodermic injections were given her
almost every hour throughout the night,
but she could not be quieted. From the
time of the tragedy until a late hour last
night Mrs. Mcdonald talked In a rambling
and disconnected manner and little was OBJ
tained from her concerning the motive for
the crime.
Mrs Mcdonald declared that Guerin had
been levying blackmail on her and that
repeatedly he had obtained sums from her
on threats OF exposure.
This explanation, however, was contra
dicted by the words Of Mcdonald. He said
he had never given his wife large sums OF
money the sums practically only having
been sufficient for the needs OF the house
hold or well defined needs Of the woman.
! Statements from Guerins relatives seemed
| to place n far different light on the tragedy
! They declared that since Guerin had been a
boy in school Mrs. Mcdonald had been
enamored Of him and that she had con-
tinued her attentions even after he had
used every influence to break his relations
with her.
