reply. General Grosvenor will inter

The controversy arose through Prof

case of the J. Hamilton Lewis sealin :
vessel which was finally settled be-
fore The Hague tribunal. General
Grosvenor, Chairman Payne. Repre-

of the committee attempted to explain
to Mr.. Elliott that the documents he
was reading were of no value in the
hearing, but he resented their inter
ruptions.
Elliott devoted considerable time to
discussion of the ]. Hamilton Lewis
case, citing it as a proof of his claim
that the North American Commercial
company. which has a concession from
the United States to take seals in
Alaskan waters, obtained the conces-
sion fraudulently and should not be
permitted to continue in seal fishing

1haW-S Attorney Gives Out
That Much in Connection
With the Case.
PUBLIC is STILL BARRED
IN SPITE OF THE MoNoToNY OF
THE PROCEEDINGS, HUNDREDS
CRAVE TO GET INSIDE THE FOR
RIDDEN COURT ROOM.
Publishers Press. ]

New York. Jan. 2s.-The trial OF
Harry X. Thaw for the killing or
Stanford White was resumed Monday
with fair prospect that during the
week a jury will be obtained and con-
siderable testimony presented, posi-
bly, all the prosecution will offer.
Probably there never was murder
trial in this country which for sus-
tanned interest equals the Thaw trial.
While obtaining jury is a dry, mo-
notonous work, crowds begged for ad-
mission. Now that testimony is soon
to be heard the morbidly curious will
appear in greater numbers. Justice
Fitzgerald decided on stern measures,
however, to curb the tendency of the
mere sightseer He issued orders that
at no time during the trial shall spec
tators be admitted. Only those hav-
ing positive business in the court will
be admitted. Justice Fitzgerald de-
cided that the spectators, particularly
women, who appear at trials with Pc
culiarly sensational features. shall be
barred and court officers were told to
obey this order to the letter.
The apparent desire of the defense
to hasten the trial or at least to COM
plete the jury, is thought to be sign
that some move not yet limited at will
be made The defense has never out
lined or even intimated what the line
of defense is to be. Thaw's counsel
say no inkling will be given before
the address to the jury is made.
There have been SO many surprises In
the case that a new move on the part
Of the defense is expected
Counsel for Thaw held conference
lasting several hours, presumably IN
preparation for the defense. Mrs.
Harry Thaw was present throughout
the meeting. Delphine j. Demas. after
the conference, when asked to outline
the defense. said: 1T would hardly
be professional to disclose our case.
You may say, however. that It will
come strictly within the statutes of
New York. There is no higher law in
this state, and all this talk about the
.unwritten law is bash. Nor can I
see the efficacy of plea of emotional
insanity. There is really no such
thing. A man may be temporarily In.
sane. that is quite another matter"

He's covered DER with dust and dirt,

His brow is wet with oil and sweat:

A very desperate man.
And children coming home from school
Look at him on the ground.
They love to see him lying there;

A vast mass of humanity, packed
into the grand stand like sardines, in
serted rows on the bleachers, cOngre-
gated on the roof of the grand stand,
on the tops of the fences, on telegraph
poles, on the baseball grounds, in car
riages and automobiles and on horse
back, applauded the Albuquerque day
program at Traction park yesterday.
AT a rough estimate there were over
five thousand people. The crowd was
a magnificent one and set new rec
ord for attendance at territorial fairs.
II was the biggest crowd on the Albu-
querque fair grounds since the terri
tOrial fair was established quarter of
a century ago.
Never have yesterdays paid admis-
siOns been exceeded i'm number. and
the association took in at least s400
more in gate receipts than the highest
previous record. Never have the peo-
pie of Albuquerque turned out 50 10y
ally and enthusiastically to support
the territorial fair, and never have
there been so many visitors In the city
The great throng yesterday was
good-humored one. a happy one and
an enthusiastic one. and generous with
their applause when II was due. And
there were plenty of things to ap-
plaud. A snappy baseball game be-
tween Socorro and the Browns fast
and exciting Albuquerque derby. with
a splendid bunch of thoroughbred
horses tearing down the stretch. some
good bronco busting. a thrilling race
after the manner of the old Romans
bv the cavalrymen; harness races and
running races, military maneuvers
the bucking bull. and a dozen other
good features held the attention OF the
crowd and the day was In every re-
spect a conspicuous and historic sue
cess. 1t has set new mark for ter
