The California Attorney Makes Better
Showing for the Prisoner
1t is Estimated That Demas is More Nearly
Match for the Famous District Attorney of
New York

New York. Feb. G-The defense Of
Thaw under the direction of Attorney
Delmas began to assume definite shape
today. When, the court adjourned tes-
tinony had been placed before the
jury To the effect that White had been
heard TO make 4 threat To kill the de-
fendant. coupling the threat with the
display Of Il revolver: that Thaw's ac-
lions following the killing We're con-
sidered by several eve witnesses TO
have been "irrdtional:" that an uncle
OF the defendant was insane; that I've
lyn Nesbit Thaw passed Il note torher
husband during the dinner At the Cafe
Martin the evening of the tragedy:
thac Jerome has this note ana refused
on the demand of the defense To IN
troduce it i'm evidence. At the close
Of today il was announced by Delmas
that either the wife or the mother OF
the defendant would be the first Wit
ness tomorrow.
The alleged threat against Thaw's
life was made two years and q half
before the tragedy. Jerome OBJECTED
10 the evidence. declaring the defense
was not UNDERSTOOD by him 10 be one of
self defense. Delmas replied that the
defense intended To take advantage Of
every legal defense allowed in the state
Of New York. be it insanity self de-
fense or any other legitimate defense
Tor the taking Of human life.
This was but the first o. a series Of
interesting tilts between the district
attorney and Mr.. Delmas during the
day. Il is alleged that Jerome has
found Thaw's new leading counsel
foeman worthy Of his best efforts. The
two men are Of widely different types

there was no danger Of war between
the United States and japan. -

Of people than the japanese are At
present hard TO find" said the general
This is due largely to their recent
victory over the Russians. While q
break between Japan and the United
States may come I'm time the danger is
not imminent. The japanese have a
heavy war debt to pay and although It
Is probable they could put 4 large
army in the field they have no visible
resources.
The recent boycott Of American
goods i'm China was caused largely by
the japanese. The japanese mer-
chants Nuddenly discovered that they
could compete with American mer-
chants. II appeared comical to me
during tn boycott to see American
goods stamped with japanese trade
marks. All that was necessary was
To turn the package around and there
was the name Of the American manu-
facturcrs. These goods were sold TO
the Chinese as Japanese products and
were accepted as such.
THE recent troubles in San Fran
cisco should be settled by the state Of
California" said the general. 81 al

clusion laws but In an event like this
/ am OF the opinion that an effort on
the part Of the United States as a
nation to interfere would be violating
the constitution. zone Chinaman is

acter and manhood are concerned"

said Delmas. this note now is i'm the
possession Of the learned district at
tents, believing it to be material evil

district attorney produce it."
Mr. Jerome sat silent. Absolute and
dramatic stiffness in the court room
prevailed and Delmas stood waiting
All eyes were turned upon the district
attorney. After waiting for some time
Delmas resumed: Il take IL that tn

JAPS ANGRY

Nothing Farther From
Their Desires Than
Trouble With A merica.

Toxic. Feb. Ga report reaching here
from the United States that the prlvy
council met on Tuesday TO consider a
dispatch from Washington, was receiv-
ed here with great surprise and some
indignation. 1t is thought by some that
the report had been put in circulation
by some careless or irresponsible
source. Others see a sinister motive.
aiming to injure the relations between
Japan and America by deliberate false
hood and exaggeration.
1t is generally felt by we'll meaning
people that no care can be too great
at this moment when the alarmists are
busy at work in America. The AssOci-
ated Press is informed by the best au-
thority that the matter submitted to
deliberation in the privy council last
Tuesday was entirely OF an internal ma
ture and had no relation to diplomatic
affairs. Even a slight knowledge Of
the constitution Of the privy council
would be sufficient to save misappre-
hension on occasions like the present
one.
Should American relations assume n
gravity warranting n special meeting
Of the privy council that fact would
not escape the attention OF the press
correspondents. As has been previous
" cabled. quiet reigns DESPITE alarmist
reports in America. The idea that ia
pan would seek a war with the United
States is considered simply ridiculous.
There is no doubt that among the
immigrants in Hawaii are several who
served in the war between Russia and
Japan. but nothing is more absurd than
the report that elaborate preparation
is being made by this means to make
war against America. These reports
are made through sheer ignorance. II

DUTIES OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Some Advice to the Telegraph Compan
 ies and Their Employees

The service of the telegraph com panies is essentially public service, and its interruption by a strike of the operators, whatever its cause, would not simply be an injury to the companies and their business as corporate organ izations of private capital, but would effect injuriously, if not disastrously, all business operations conducted on a large scale throughout the country. It would seriously harm much even of local trade and industry and inconvenience the entire public. If the companies should propose to suspend that service in order to carry any point of their own, either with their employees or their customers, or for any purpose of coercion or of ultimate gain, it would be deemed an intolerable outrage, and the courts would be promptly called upon to interpose to compel them to per form the duties for which they are chartered under penalty of forfeiture of their franchises. Such a performance on the part of the corporations is in fact inconceivable.
 But for the telegraph operators in the employ of the companies, through an organization of their own independent of law, to join in forcing a suspension or serious interruption of the service would have the same practical effect so far as the attempt proved successful, and in it's motive and purpose would be no more justifable than a lockout by the companies. Whether it could be treated as conspiracy or com bination in restraint of trade under ex isting law may be question, but that it would be an intolerable outrage as surely as if it were the act of cor poration admits of no doubt. As we have contended in regard to threatened strikes on railroads, there should be some legal method of compelling an ad-
 ustment of disputes between public service corporations and their employ ees which would make a general strike or an arbitrary interruption of the ser vice to the injury of the public impos- sible. Individual workmen in any em- pIoyment, public or private, corporate or personal, cannot and should not be prevented from exercising the freedom to quit whenever they are dissatisfied with their compensation or their treat ment, but that is a different matter from an organized combination directed by officers calling out the whole body of employees or the entire force at impor- tant points, regardless of individual grievances or rights, as means of coer- cion to attain some object agreed upon.

HUNG JURY FOR
 A UNION PICKET
O. o. White, Formerly of Globe, Be comes Enmeshed in Interesting Case in Bisbee-Jury in Justice Court Was Out Over Seventeen Hours.

The Bisbee Review has the following to say of former well known Globe miner who went to Bisbee several months ago and who has taken an act i've part in the strike there:
 It is doubtful if there has been a case in the county of Cochise that has attracted the attention of the public as has that of the Territory vs. c. o. White, one of the union pickets arrest ed upon the complaint of Deputy Sher- ih John M. Johnson, charging him with unlawfully assembling to intimidate workmen from coming into the district to accept employment from the different mining companies.
 As an illustration of the amount of interest displayed by the public in the case, groups of men were to be seen sitting around on the edge of the side walk as late as ? a. m. discussing the merits of the case and waiting for the jury to come to some kind of agree ment. His honor, Judge Grier, realiz- ing the importance of verdict to both the prosecution and the defense, and to be within close touch should the jury require his presence, provided himself with an Ostermoor mattres in the shape and form of pine plank by 6, which was conveniently placed just outside the courtroom door. Along about l a. m. the jurors sent for his honor and requested that Miss Myrtle McGavock, the court stenographer, be sent for and certain portions of the testimony be read to them. This had tendency to create additional interest among the watchers, but they were doomed to dis. appointment, for after deliberating for exactly thirteen hours, his honor was notified that it was impossible for an agreement to be reached, after satisfy ing himself that it was impossible for the jury to reach verdict, they were discharged.
 The verdict was not in the nature of surprise, as those of the public who watched the proceedings antieipat ed just such result It is rumored they stood seven for conviction to five for aequittal The case is to be heard again tomorrow morning, Deputy Sher- if Bill White having been ordered 10 summon new venire.

Roosevelt on Horseback

President Roosevelt on horseback seems a quite different personality than when afoot. While decidedly dare devil rider, not even his most ardent admirer can call the president graceful astride his horse. When walking or standing his muscular system is taut and strained, befitting his intense men tality. When riding horseback, how ever, all the muscles in his we'll knit body seem to loosen almost to the point of flabbiness. There is scarcely per eeptible bend of his knees, and his legs dangle and jostle with tie move ment of his steed. While a cowboy on the plains he acquired the habit of ramming his feet completely through the stirrups, with the heel of his shoe touching the edge of the stirrup. The result is that he sits full and flat in the saddle, his body slightly inclined for ward, and usually he holds the reins in both hands. When riding with com panion the president keeps up rattling fire of conversation, and manages to do nearly all the talking. It is only when his horse is going at a lively gait that the presidential muscular system is rig i'd and that the presidential knees are bent. Then he hugs the horses body tight with his legs, holds the reins in one hand, and keeps the other arm free. He seldom carries whip and lays down the dietum that horse that needs the whip is not only dan gcrous nag, but is not worth riding. In his horseback rides around Washing ton the president generally is accom- panied by two or three friends, and close behind the cavaleade is cavalry corporal in khaki. Concealed under the soldier s coat is big pistol, and 1t IS said that the chief magistrate also goes armed on such occasions. Mrs. Roose' welt frequently accompanies her hus- band on these rides, and she sits her horse gracefully, although she has ac- quired the riding habit only recently The president s two most frequent com panions are Senator Lodge and Civil Service Commissioner John A. Nell henny, one of the numerous rich young men who enlisted in the president s ia nous regiment of Rough Riders.

SAN CARLOS COAL FIELD
J. W. Ambrose of Phoenix Has Located
 4,000 Acres

J. W. Ambrose returned yesterday from quiet visit to the so-called San Carlos coal fields, says the Republican, where he located 4,000 acres of land in the name of himself and other residents of Phoenix. Under the law only l60 acres can be taken in the name of one man. MT. Ambrose divided the locators into groups and located the land by sec tions. It is all in compact body.
 Before making the locations MT. Am prose spent some time going over the field and satisfying himself that it was profitable enterprise. This coal land has attracted great deal os attention for several years, while it was still a part of the San Carlos reservation. The government was finally induced to seg- regate it.
 The Christmas Copper company took up some of the land and began exploit ing it, however, in an unsatisfactory manner. The persons in charge of the work evidently had not had much ex- perience in coal mining. A shaft was sunk along the first stratum of coal, while one familiar with coal mining would have sought the lower strata. There has been some boring there which resulted in showing that the lower de posits are probably of great value.
 The Phoenix groups which have gone into the matter now intend to sink a big central shaft, which will serve the purpose of all the locators and will at once develop the whole field
 This coal district is some distance west of the Gila Valley, Globe & North ern railroad, but lies nearer to the pro posed line east of Winkeiman. Without doubt when development has shown the value of the field the Southern Pacific will build into the field, bringing it di- rectly into connection with Phoenix.
