that Railroads Cooperate.


Chicago, March 1O.-As a result Of the
wrecks which have occurred in all parts
Of the country, a reduction in the speed
Of the passenger trains of the trunk lines
IS under consideration, and the Chicago
representative Of Hartman has announced
that he will make every effort to have
the vast transcontinental system under
the control of the wizard of Wall street
lead the movement.
J. Kruttschnitt. director OF maintenance
and operation Of the Union and Southern
PacifiCs, yesterday characterized the ex-
cessive speed under which the trains are
often run as dangerous in the extreme,
and said in regard 10 the competition for
the fastest trains:
In competition we are often forced to
do foolish things simply because some
one else does them. 1t is altogether too
fast. The roads are congested with
freigl-, and the speed required Of some
Of the passenger trains involves great
danger and irregular making of SEIZED
ules."

HARRY THAW CASE RESUMED

believe. by others. through whose testi-
mony lIr. Jerome VIII try to shatter the
credibiHty Of the long story about her
pursuit Of Stanford White which she
/ swore on the stand she had told 20 Harry
X Thaw
Besides Policeman Anthony Debes. who
took Thaw from the Madison Square roof
to the Tenderloin station after the shoot

and Mccain, who were on duty at the
station while Thaw was there before his
removal to the Tombs the district at
toruey will call about a dozen policemen
who were I'm the Tenderloin station.
Through these witnesses and "A newspaper

the night of his arrest, Mr. Jerome viii

few hours after the shooting did not

Abe HummcI Again.
The defense expects that Abe Hummel
and his notary will also be called again
to the stand. and that Mr.. Jerome will
reserve his battery Of medical experts
until he has finished with the lay wit
nesses.
That Mr.. Jerome has not let up in his
attempts TO discredit the younger Mrs.
Thaw's story became known to-day, when
il was learned that he has under sub
pOena a witness who can make some IN
| teresting disclosures as TO her acquaint-
ance with Jack Barrymore, an actor.
before she ever became acquainted with
Stanford White.
Whatever evidence the district attorney
may offer in rebuttal. it Is quite certain
that Mrs. William Thaw, the mother Of
the prisoner, will not again be called to
the witness stand by the lawyers for the
defense, for it was learned to-day that
she Will be present tomorrow at the trial,
and will continue TO attend all the ses-
sions until the fate of her son is decided.
Just how long this viii be will depend
very largely, it is thought on the char
acter of the testimony which Mr.. Jerome
may deduce from the witnesses other than
| the medical experts. Should he attempt
to bring out an array Of Witnesses to at
tack Mrs Evelyn Thaw's statements, il
is expected the defense viii call many
new witnesses in sur-TebutJaL
On the other hand. even if Mr.. Jerome
bases his case most strongly on the testi-
mony Of the persons who. "a Thaw

murder and upon the medical experts. it
/ is possible that the defense viii conclude

Much of Harry X. Thaws time in the

/ perusal Of notes sent to him by messenger
from his wife at the Hotel Lorraine and
with writing replies 10 them. He found
+ time to attend the Presbyterian service,
as usual. and when he was not busy re-
/ ceiving or answering notes from his wife

The close Of the campaign finds
both the Cruce and Haskell support
ers claiming victory.
NJ. Jude Askew who is a strong
Haskell man, had a telephone con-

was made that Haskell would carry
tie state Ny $4,000 Or 5000 on 4 very
conservative estimate. Mr. Askew
who has recently travelled over the

get a big vote in the western count
lie In Kiowa and Washita it will
be a horse race but Haskell will car
ry this part Of the state and in the
Choctaw nation, east Of the Santa Fe,
the majority for him viii be large.
In this section it is as much an anti

Northern Oklahoma will also 60

UN lURNER
Strong Fdilurial in Support Of Mr..

Oklahoma City, June THE Daily
oklahoman hal the following this
morning il support Of N. L. Turner
"The support which has come to
Hon. NJ. L. Turner in his campaign
for United States senator has been
nothing short Of surprising, and bids
fair to assure his nomination.
"Mr. Turner's campaign has been
full Of virility. ike himself; it has
been conducted openely, as he always
does things, and has impressed the
people with his worth to the state at
a time like this. He has not resorted
to dirty campaign methods, and has
based his appeal on the good he will
do for the state if sent to the United
States senate.
aMr. Turner is a self-made man.
He is overaowing with energy anil
directness. Already he has a ma
tional acquaintance with men Of af-
fairs, and his advice is sought and
needed all over the country. He was
liberal contributor to each Of Mr.
Bryan's campaigns, has been loyal
party man and has the unqualified in
dorsement and support Of the dem
ocracy Of this country.
aThere is no doubt that the selec-
ton Of Mr.. Turner as one Of the
United States senator's would prove
beneficial in many ways to the new
state Many things peculiar to the
state demand such man at such q
time. Mr.. Turner would prove pow
er in committee work, and would have
results to show for his work.
"As treasurer of Oklahoma in its
democratic administration, Mr.. Turn

official. He put business spirit into
the Office, and secured for she terri
tory interest on the public funds de-
posted in banks--a thing which had
never been done before. In all his
affairs he is vigorous and businesslike,
and takes no rebuffs. In the senate
he would prove especially valuable at
this time. He can obtain results, and
results are what we are more inter-
estei in at this time than anything
else"
