BLOW FOR DEFENSE
COURT ALLOWS THE BRoTHER-IN-
LAW OF STANFORD WHITE
TO TESTIFY.

New York, March 13-District At
torney Jerome has played his strong
est card in his effort to convict Harry
Thaw of the murder OF Stanford
White. This evidence came to his
knowledge but few days ago and
caused him to abandon the idea or
sending Whites slayer to madhouse
and to try for a straight out convic-
ton under the criminal statutes. The
evidence came from Mrs. Stanford
Whites brother, James Clinch Smith,
who told a remarkably clear, succinct
story OF the events of Madison Square
Garden the night White was killed and
of long conversation he had with
Thaw just prior to the shooting.
II seems that Thaw sat for some
time with Smith during the fateful
first performance Of "Mam'selle Cham
payne" and discussed with him a
variety of topics In manner, Mr..
Smith declared, such as any sane man
would talk. Mr.. Smith gave the con
versation in detail, emitting nothing,
ne asserted.
With the brother-in-law OF the man
who was SO soon to be victim Of his
pistol, Thaw discussed the play, Wall
street, common acquaintances, plans
for the summer and many other
things, including a 'buxom brunette"
whom Thaw declared he was anxious
to have Smith meet Thaw said he
and his wife were going abroad later
In the summer. There was no hint
anywhere in the repeated conversa-
tion of Thaw's intent to inflict bodily
harm upon anyone. Mr.. Smith did
say, however, that Thaw, not having
a reserved seat. roamed around the
garden and continually looked in the
direction Of the spot where he subse-
quently killed Stanford White.

FIGHT OVER EVIDENCE.
Entire Session In Thaw Case Devoted
to Arguments.

10 arguments.
New York, March 13.-There was
but a short session Of the court trying
Harry X. Thaw for the murder OF
Stanford White, adjournment being
taken shortly after noon. This action
was taken partly to give Mr.. Delmas
an opportunity to consult the authori-
ties and prepare an argument in reply
to an impassioned appeal by District
Attorney Jerome for the admission of
testimony by Abraham Hummel in
contradiction of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's
evidence, characterized by Mr.. Jerome
as the central support of the defense,
and partly on the statement Of Mr..
Jerome that II he were allowed the
afternoon In which to complete the
hypothetical question to be put to his
experts he thought the state could
close its case in another day.

in passing you, and then withdraw your stick. the flock will nevertheless all leap as he did; and the thousandth sheep shall be found impetuously vaulting over air, as the first did over an otherwise impassa- ble barrier And now for the appliea- ton: Calvin '1eaped" at a certain point, because he saw a stick" there. And is 1t necessary that every Calvinist of our day should leap at the same point. when the stick has gone long ago and there Is no obstruction whatever?
 Or, If I am an Arminian must I hold myself bound to vault over air at the point at which John Wesley leaped over what to him was real obstacle?
 Let no reader imagine that I am belit- ting either Calvin or Wesley. After study Ing the careers of both these great lead CTS of the hosts of Gods elect, I can say that I yield to II oCalvinist in my adnl- ration for John Calvin, and to no Armin- ian in my admiration for John Wesley.

But some un- known transcriber found this thought not sufficiently savory to suit his spiritual taste, and so, to make 1t more savory, he added the spurious words: And in your spirit, which are Gods" And these spurious words found place in our Authorized Version" which was trans. lated from text substantially the same as that of Erasmus, whose Greek Testa- ment Is not at all critical. Indeed, no New Testament scholar now regards it as an authority.
 Orgen was certainly one of the ablest, most devoted and most scholarly of all the "Fathers' of the early church. He was partly of the second and partly of the third century, born about 1S5, died 254 If he were now living among us he would rank as a scholar. He was, for his day, text critic of high rank, and his authority on matters of text-critieism is even now held in high esteem by our best scholars.

But there Is faction in the republican ranks out in Ohio, and Burton Is in 1t up to the elbow. The colored man and brother is in 1t, too, and our graduate of Oberlia IS by no means a favorite with the graduates of xenia. It seems that the negro soldiers of the Twenty-fifth United States infantry amused them se,ves last August by shooting up the town of Brownsville, Tex. It Is true that they denied 1t; but there Is not a man in the United States who has the faintest conception of the negro character who does not know that those negro soldiers shot up that town and then conspired to conceal the fact President Roosevelt very properly had the soldiers in the conspiracy discharged, and the pity of 1t is that there was not summary way to cashier some of the white commissioned officers, who have put themselves In even worse attitude than the colored privates.
 Senator Foraker became the champion of the negro ruffians and abused the Sen ate's patience and afronted It's intelli- E, nee in numerous elaborate addresses, designed to paint the discharged rioters as lambs sent to the slaughter by Theo- dore Roosevelt and William H.

This thing ia become a matter of factonal pol ll.cs In the republican party of Ohio, where there are some 25,OO0 negro voters, though the state constitution of Ohio is the only one in the union from which the word "white' has not been expunged from it's suffrage clause. l wonder if Senator Foraker is acquainted with the experience Senator Sumner of Massachu- setts had with Senator Revels of Missis- sippi, and there Is tradition, whether fact or fiction, that Senator Sumner percept- ply cooled in his zeal AS a fanatic after he got the treatment Revels meted out to him in the caucus that deposed Sum ner from the chairmanship of foreign re-

Mir Burton never undertakes to tinker with a piece of solonism until he makes himself abso- Tut fly master of the facts and the philos- ophies of the case viewed from any and every standpoint. That is a secret all t few of our congressman have, at least too few of them act upon 1t.
 Ii Is doubtful if all the rest of Congress together. Senate and House, know as much about our rivers and harbors as Burton knows. If there is a creek or in- let from ocean to ocean that he does not know all about, Congress has never heard of it. Not only does he know where 1t Is, but what 1t is He knows the volume of water, the depth, tho width, the fall. He knows the commerce that each shore will supply and what it is-coal iron, stone, phosphate, lead. zinc, and all that. He knows the agricultural energies of either bank and how much freight they will sup ply Above all, he knows the probable cost of improvement and if the game is worth the candle. He is an absolutely honest man, just and impartial to the marrow, and with will of iron. Thus, when 1t comes to rivers and harbors. Theodore B. Burton Is the American
