Jerome Wants a Change.

District Attorney Jerome, who has been
contendtng since yesterday afternoon for
the removal of one OF the men now in
the jury box, but who has failed to gain
the consent of the defendants counsel to
o. change, was still reluctant as court
adjourned to-day to begin the actual
proceedings without further oppor-
tunity to plead with Thaw's attorneys
AT his request, therefore, Justice Fitz-
gerald ordered all talesmen who have
not yet been examined to be in court
Monday morning ready for jury service
an case any are needed.
Mr.. Jerome then announced that Il there
should be no change in the situation in
fhe meantime. the State would proceed
to place all Its direct testimony before
tho jury at the Monday morning session.
The defense was notified to be in readi-
hess to proceed by Monday afternoon.
''We are entirely satisfied with the
fury" said Clifford W. Hartrdge Thaw's
leading counsel to-night, and he added
the intimation that he would not consent

of Thaw's attorneys.
Prosecution to Be Brief.
Assistant District Attorny Garvan
will make the opening address for the
prosecution. His remarks will be very
brief. occupying perhaps, not more than
twenty minutes. The State Will then
introduce such witnesses as are neces-
sary to prove that Stanford White was
shot and killed by Harry n Thaw, on
the Madison Square Roof Garden, the
hight of June 25th. last
In announcing that ia ION
will not require more than one session
Of the court. Mr.. Jerome is evidently of
the opinion that the cross examination
of the States witnesses as to the ac-
tual events associated with the tragedy
anay not be very extensive.
From the questions which have so
persistent!y been put to tho talesmen
by Thaw's attorneys as to any prejudice
against a defense of insanity it is at
least generally conceded that plea
of emotional insanity will he main

Twenty-nine Palms, Which Is Situ-
ated Sixty-two Miles East of
Banning, Is Name of
Camp

A company has been organized to lay
out townsite at Twerty-nine Palms,
San Bernardino county. A rich gold
strike was made near the place a few
days ago and some of the men interested
in the mining property thereabouts think
that the rush which will follow will
make an opportune time for providing
newcomers with proper facilities for es-
tabishing homes and business places.
The camp takes its name from twenty
nine stately palms which adorn the To-
cation. 1t is situated sixty-two miles due
east of Banning and lies just above the
Riverside county line.
A stage line is now being put in to ac-
commodate the passenger and freight
traffic but as the Southern Pacific's new
survey to the Arizona boundary passes
through Twenty-nine Palms a more con-
venient mode of entrance will later be
provided.
Plenty of water is said to exist and the
SOIL which in an earlier day was culti-
waited by the Indians, is very productive.
All along the stage line spots of lux
uriant growth may be seen, even in the
present neglected state.
