FINE OMAHA $4,000
Judge Page Morris Imposes
Penalty for Railroads
Violation of Law.

Judge Page Morris today
imposed a fine of $4,000 up
on the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha Rail
way company, and ordered
it's former general freight
agent, Hiram M. Pearce, to
pay a $4,000 fine, in the
United States district court
in Minneapolis. The Omaha
road, cojointly with it's form
er general freight agent, was
convicted in the same court,
April IL, of granting rebates
to the Spencer Grain com
pany. The Indictment con-
tanned fifty counts.
In imposing sentence, Judge
Morris explained that while
it was clear to him that he
would be within his right to
impose a separate fine for
each offense proved, he could
not bring himself to believe
that the payment of rebate
on each carload Of grain con-
stituted a separate offense.
Each shipment, the court
reasoned, whether made up
of one or many carloads, with
the subsequent payment of
the rebate, could be treated
as a separate offense.
1t was true, the court con-
tinued,l the shipping tariffs
referred to carload shipments
and rebates were made on
carload basis, but shipping
charges and rebates were
paid on the number of bush
els handled. and it would be
as just to assume there were
as many offenses as bushels.
At the trial it was shown
that the fifty counts in the in
dictment covered fifty car
loads of grain shipped to the
Spencer grain company at
Duluth and Superior on
seventeen different shipments
Whether the court should
take notice of this fact in
passing sentence and state
that the fine was to cover II
offenses in a cumulative SEN
tence, Judge Morris in his re-
view deemed not essential.
After Judge Thomas Will
son, chief counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, entered d formal
motion in arrest of Judgment,
the court reviewed the case
and imposed the sentence.

Notes From w ashington
From Our Regular Correspondent.


Political interest in Washing
ton has been. keenly aroused
during the past week By the de-
livery of two notable speeches
one by the president at the lay
ing of the cornerstone Of the
monument to the landing of the
Pilgrims on Cape Cod, the other
by Secretary Taft at Columbus,
a speech IN which the secretary
outlined fully his attitude on the
three great political questions of
the day. the trusts, the railroads
and the tariff.

The manipulators of stocks
and bonds in Wall street, who
had hoped to find comfort and
reinsurance in the Presidents
speech, were disappointed. Mr..
Roosevelt asserted with all the
vehemence of which he is a mas
ter that he should continue, dur
ing the remaining eighteen
months he will remain in Office
to prosecute the yiolators of the
law wherever he found them,
rich or poor, influential or the
reverse. He stated emphatical-
~ that the policy of the admins
tration was not tainted with vim
dictiveness, nor by a desire to
"pursue corporations. except in
so far as was made necessary by
the wilful violation of the law by
corporation managers.

PRICE FIVE CENTS

In Thaw's apartments In New York and
for three weeks he and she occupied
connecting apartments at the Grand
Hotel here.
Mrs. Thaw admitted that the cham
pagne which she had declared had tas-
ted bitter the night she lose conscious
ness In the mirrored bedroom, was
no more bitter than any other cham
pagne she had drunk. In fact she de-
clared 1t tasted like all the rest and
denied she had intended for the jury
to assume otherwise.
Mrs. Tnaw made what was consider
ed her most damaging statement to the
defendant when she admitted he had
showed her copies Of cablegrams sent
to Stanford White from Europe asking
him to use his influence with a certain
man in London to prevent Mrs. Nesbit
from interfering with Evelyn continu-
ing In Thaws company Mrs. Thaw
was also forced to adnrr tnat wnen
she and her mother went abroad with
Thaw In 1903 they were still drawing
upon the bounty of Stanford White.
Evelyn declared she had a letter Of
credit for $400 or $500 which was giv-
en- to her by Waite and which she later
turned over to Thaw. There was still
a balance in the Mercantile Trust Com
pany to her order.
"But Mamma got all of that" said
the witness.
Jerome dwelt for long time upon
the cablegram which Thaw is said to
have sent White. She brought out that
the cablegrams were sent after Thaw
knew Of the relations which had exist
ed between Miss Nesbit and White.
Mrs. Thaw would not adm!: that she
knew positively who sent the cable
grams or whether her name was signed
to them.

Eastern Oregon Delegation Says
Corporations Used In
fluenCe.
DEBATE WAS RESTRICTED
Two Minute Rule Used to Shut Of Dc.
bate and Bill Was Rushed to Vote
Before Members Were Aware--By
Portland Capitalists.

Salem. Ore. Feb. 2l.-By a vote OF
81 to rs the House Indefinitely post
poned 8. b. No. 235 this morning and
left the Irrigation and water power In
terests OF the state upin the air. This
was one OF half a dozen important
measures before the legislature.
The consensus Of opinion was that
the opposition 10 the Irrigation bill was
due almost entirely TO the fear Of cor
porate interests that their monopoly
OF water power would be hampered by
passage OF this measure In Eastern
oregon. The section affected was a
unit for the bill, but when II came up
the Multnomah delegation shut on de-
bate by keeqing the members to the
two-minute rule and rushed through
discussion before the majority Of the
Houe understood what was happening.
Then the opposition to the bill refused
TO let II come up for passage on It's
merits but indefinitely postponed It.
Marion left Multnomah and stood for
the bill. as did the Speaker and sever
al members of the Multnomah delega-
ton.
The Eastern Oregon delegation is
incensed over the result, alleging that
the bin was killed In the interest Of
Il few Portland promoters, and that 1t
was the only chance the entire irriga-
tIon district of the state had ever had
70 secure legislation that would end
the present confusion, stop costly liti-
CATION and make water something more
than a source Of grief. Some Southern
oregon interests sided with Multno-
nah, No reason was given out by the
opposition for killing the measure, ex-
cept that 1t was not wanted.
The vote to indefinitely postpone was
as follows;

ton. Bayer, Beveridge Bones, Brix,

Jerome's Assault Upon Reliabi-
lily Of Witness Sue
CessfuI.
DELMAS STARTLES COURT
Hints That Prosecuting Attorney In
tends to Indict Wife OF Defendant.
Thaw asked Aid of White After Con-
fession BY Bride.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-Under stress
Of cross examination, In which District
Attorney Jerome gave no quarter, Mrs
Evelyn Thaw broke down upon the
witness stand today. With binding
tears burning tneir way down cheeks
which from ashen white had flushed tc
crimson, she admitted that after her
first experience with White her rela-
tions with the architect had continued
several months.
There were other confessions also
which, while damaging to her charac-
ter, accentuated all the more the terri
BILE personal sacrifice she Is making In
an effort to save her husband from the
electric chair. The case has progress
ed to point where the defendant has
been all but lost sight Of. His girl
like wife is the figure about whom the
storm lashes. She it Is whose life is
being searched out and who Is being
neld up to scorn by the prosecutor.
Thaw his face buried in his hands,
might easily have been out of the court
room picture today and none would
have missed him. All eyes were upon
the witness chair and the slight figure
In blue which occupied 1t. During the
day and at all times heretofore Mrs.
Thaw has had to sit on the edge of the
chair in order that her feet might
reach the floor.
To make her more comfortable for
the long ordeal, foot stool and back
cushion were provided during the after
noon. At the close of the most event.
full day of the trial, Jerome announced
that he probably would keep Mrs.
Thaw under fire for two more days.
Adjournment was taken until Mon
day morning, although at one time JUS
tice Fitzgerald said that to accommo-
date out of town witnesses, he would
hold court tomorrow and Saturday.
There was mo subject affecting the
witness of so intimate a nature that |
the District Attorney hestated to haul
it from its hiding place and hold it
before the gaze of the world, all the
while requiring that she should recog-
nize and own the fault in her own
words.
When Jerome was plying Mrs. Thaw
with questions as to her relations with
White, demanding to know every de-
tail of her life, and, while bitter tears
TO her eyes. two newspaper women ac-
to the harsh scenes of life,
hastily left the court room and made
leasty retreat out of the big portals.
At last the prosecutor himself relented
and suggested that the pro-
,eedings SHOULD be suspended.
Delmas thought he detected an un-
favorable move in this and protested
hat the witness would be able to pro-
,eed. Mrs. Thaw wiped her eyes, stiff
ened up bit and nodded to Jerome
o proceed.
After the bringing out of her rela-
ions with White had continued for
ome time Jerome went deeper. Mrs.
Thaw admitted that in 1908 after aer
eturn from Europe she spent the night
