No Street Cars to Depot
Until the Autumn of 1909
Failure Of Two Houses of Congress to Agree
on District Bill Will Prevent Extension
of Tracks to the New Union Sta
ton for Two Years.

That the street railway companies Of
the District of Columbia will not be
able to extend their lines to the new
Union Station until the autumn Of 1903.
nearly t=0 years after the completion Of
the station. is the opinion of members
Of Congress familiar with the situation.
This inconvenience TO Westinghouse
and the travelling public generally is
largely TIE result OF the fact that there
has been included in the House bill
extranC Gus matter. not dealing directly
with tile main objects Of the bill, which
are TO give the street railway companies
access to the station.
Chairman Babcock, of the House Dis
trict Committee. today secured a prom
Use from the Speaker that a special rule
shall be brought In Saturday TO allow
reconsideration Of the street railway bill
which was defeated by a heavy adverse
vote ia the House Monday. Under the
rule the measure will be subject to
amendment.
In brief. -he situation is as follows:
The bill as At present drawn by the
District Committee includes two pro-
visions. the wide tire law and the appli-
cation of the smoke law for railroad To-
cOmotives. which. II is thought, the Sen
ate will not agree to enact.
While there is some probability that
the House may strike out the wide tire
provision, such action would mean that
the House would rcscind its vote on the
bill which II passed some months ago
providing for four-inch tires on heavy
wagons
But the greatest probability of a per
manent disagreement between the House
and Senate on this bill is that there
seems every indication at present that
the House VIII vote into the bill an
amendment providing for Scent fares.
and TO this the Senate will not agree.
The effect Of this legislative delay
seems TO be as follows.

said IL VIII require eighteen months

NEW YORK. Feb. 2S.-In the few
minutes Immediately preceding the for
nal opening of the morning session yes
terday Evelyn Nesbit Thaw came into
court and took her seat at the cOun-
sci table of the defense. II would not
have been an inappropriate place for the
shrewd. quick-witted. diplomatic little
woman, who has done more 10 save her
husbands life than a whole battalion
Of lawyers could have done. but at the
first rustic of the Justices silken gown
she slipped quietly out Of the door back
into the witness room.
In a moment more she was recalled,
and then what will be the most remark
able and dramatic situation OF Ibis
strange part OF this trial was fore
Swallowed in Mr.. Jerome's first question.
II contained a statement that Evelyn's
brother. Howard Nesbit. had made TO
the prosecutor. in which ne had de-
clared that his sister had told him. in
the Navarro Hotel, that Thaw had
beaten her cruelty and mad forced her.
at the point Of n pistol. To make the ac-
cusation she did against Stanford White.
Young Nesbit also alleged that Evelyn
declared that she was afraid OF Thaw,
and that he had advised her to arm
herself. so that she might be able 10
protect herself. and that she had given
MIN money with which he had gone ont
and bought a pistol.

Married Before
Hearing Story

NEW YORK, Feb 2s-DistriCt At
torney Jerome has information in MS
possession. II was learned today, by
which he can prove that Evelyn Nesbit
became the wife of Harry Thaw before
she related the story Of the wrongs
she suffered at the hands of Stanford

The marriage was performed in Paris
during the first visit Of the couple
there in 1903.
one OF the witnesses was Nina Far
rilgtOn. an actress. who made public
the details of the wedding through a
letter she sent 10 a friend in New York.
Thaw denied the marriage at the time
that he might return to America. and
get his family's forgiveness before he
acknowledged the young woman as his
wife

witnesses on the stand VINO wilt bear
him out. Just what effect Mr. Jerome
hopes TO bring about from this move he

than natural death, read DR.. Evans

From that I can infer he was suf-

Q.-Does it prove him to be suffering

A.-No it shows signs of depression

paranoia but paranoac
Q.-DO you believe that any man who
believes that he will be assassinated and
provides large sum to prosecute his
ASSASSIN shows signs of depression?
A.-There was existing a form OF mind

tai depression. l have said that OF it
self you could not say he was depressed
You must take other things into con-
sideration.
Q.-Is there some other passage in the
ton that indicates mental depression

md passages which denote depression

about this case. putting up with them

your observations i'm the Tombs. your
various conversations are you Of the
defendant ~ n
Of the forms you described under melan-
chOlia?
A.-TemporariIy he did. He was suf-
fering from melanChOlic insanity. but
not distinct melanChOlia. A man might
be in one state at one time and then go
into another
Perhaps he went out OF that class
during the trial" suggested Jerome.
Il did not say he did or he did not"
said DR.. Evans.
Q.-This melancholia which you found
in Thaw. in 1906. say what kind was it2
A.-No particular form.
Q.-Was the melanchOlia ne suffered
on his wedding day acute or chronic?
Al could not say, because I didn't
examine him then.
Q.-You read his letters written about
that time2
Ayes
Odd your examination of the let
tiers written by Thaw give you any light
as to the kind Of melanchOlia or para
noia2
A.-Not sufficient to have me state
under oath what IL is.
Jerome handed photographs Of copies
of Thaw's letters 10 the witness and
asked him 10 examine them In an effort
10 find some trace of melancholia
No Occasional insanity.
Or. Evans could find no traces Of A
delusional insanity with such tendencies
and fought shy of the melancholia which
the district attorney so eagerly looked
for.
Delmas objected to Mr. Lyons letters
being examined as they were not in evil
dence and the court sustained him.
Alcngthly argument followed concern
ing whether the papers should be turned
over to DR. Evans. IL was finally de
cided that he should take all the papers
OF which Thaw was the author. Then
