DELAY IN THAW TRIAL.
Case Expected to Go Over Until Late
in January.

IN january.
New York, Nov 26.-The second
trial of Harry Kendall Thaw, set for
Dec. 2, will again be postponed and
there is little chance that it will be
called until some date well along in
January. The decision to ask for a
postponement has been agreed to by
both sides 1t is due partly to the
fact that the task of selecting a jury
would be made doubly hard by the ap-
proach of the holidays and the pros
pect before the talesmen of spending
both Christmas and New Years day
locked up under the care of court
bailiffs and also to the fact that
Thaw's counsel has applied to the
court for permission to inspect the
secret evidence presented before the
lunacy commission during the prog
ress of the first trial. As an added
cause for delay there is rumor that
the attorneys now representing Thaw
may apply for change of venue, de-
claring a fair trial for their client In
New York county is impossible.

positions long beyond the time to
which they were appointed. The SEN
ators met in the presidents Office by
appointment to agree, if possible, upon
a distribution, but when they con-
fronted the president they found them
selves Just as far apart as they have
been in his absence The president
saw the. difficulty and proposed that
they draw lots.
President Tosses Up Coin.
The senators agreed and the posi-
tion of bank examiner being the place
in immediate dispute the president
tossed up a coin saying that heads
meant that Kittredge should win and
tails Senator Gamble should name the
man. The piece of money fell head
up and the nomination was thus
awarded to Mr.. Kittredge. Both ap-
pes ing satisfied with this method of
disposing of the problem the presi-
dent suggested that all vacancies be
filled after the same manner and ac-
cordingly the names of the various
Offices were written upon slips of pa
per. The two senators then proceed
ed to the drawing, with the result
that Senator Gamble was awarded
the following Offices: United States
district attorney for the state, collec-
tor of internal revenue, registers at
the land offices at Aberdeen and Cham
berlain and receivers at the land
offices at Rapid City. Pierre, Huron
and Aberdeen and Indian agent at
Lower Brule agency. In addition to
the Office of national bank examiner
Senator Kittredge drew the following
Offices: Assayer of the mint at Dead
wood, registers at Mitchell, Rapid City,
Pierre and Huron; RECEIVERS at Nit
chell and Chamberlain, Indian agent
at Grow Greek agency and the audi
torship for the treasury department.
The result of the lottery will be
that the president will be guided by it
in designating officials to fill the va
cancies, Senator Kittredge recon-
rpending for the Offices which he drew
and Senator Gamble for the others.
The agreement was hastily made and
is binding only in the matter of nom
ination, each senator reserving the
right to oppose the confirmation of a
person nominated at the instance OF

ley Given on the Stand.

Washington, Nov. 26-The proce-
dure in the trial of Mrs. Annie M.
Bradley, charged with having shot and
killed former Senator Arthur M.
Brown of Utah in this city last De-
celnber, was without incident of spe-
cial interest Mrs. Bradley appeared
TO be detected and was unusually
pale.
The reading of the hypothetical
question, in which the statement of
the entire evidence in the case was
summed up by the defense, was the
principal feature of the session. 1t
proved to be dull entertainment for
the audience and most of the men
present left the room only to have
their places filled by others who had
been anXiously waiting to get an ad-
mission. Half of the audience were
women and they proved to be more in.

place until the court took recess.
Scraps of letters written by Mrs
Bradley and found in a waste basket
at the hotel where the shooting took
place, torn in small pieces, were pre-
sented for Identification and DR.. Viii
fred NJ Barton, an insanity expert for
the defense, was placed upon the
stand and testified that frequent preg
nancies and abortions bring condi
tion of insanity
Declares Mrs. Bradley Insane.
The reading of the Hypothetical
question was concluded at 2 o'clock
Dr. Barton declared that after hearing
it he concluded that Mrs. Bradley was
insane at the time she committed the
act Her particular ailment, he said
was puerpural insanity.
Dr. Barton said, on cross-examifa
ton, that a confused Condition ot
mind caused by septic infections was
not necessarily insanity. Regarding
Mrs. Bradley's making threats he
named many authorities to support his
conclusions that insanity could be
caused by frequent abortions DR.
Barton declared further that Mrs
Bradley belonged to the abnorma
type of women, occupying herself witt
all duties except those usually expect
ed of women
DR.. Barton said that no particular
abortion was responsible for Mrs
Bradley's condition of mind, but it was
the sum total of them that unseatet
her reason. He denied that his opin

SITUATION MUCH BRIGHT EF
CorteIyoa May Not Issue En-
tire Amount CT Certificates.

Washington, Nov 26.-Subscriptions
for the Panama and the one-year
treasury certificates are still coming
to the treasury department and feel
ing of greater confidence in the sue
cess of Il ? loans seems to prevail
than at any time since their announce
ment. The news from New York and
other money centers that currency
payments would soon be resumed was
accepted as evidence that the policy
OF the treasury had contributed its
share in the restoration of confidence.
The situation is so rapidly improving
that it Is quite possible that allot.
ments will not be made for the full
amount of s100,000,0O0 of certificates
which Secretary Cortelyou announced
would be offered to the public. 1t is
declared by experts that even If in.
dustrial conditions continue unfavor
able there is little doubt that money
will accumulate rapidly in the banks
after currency payments are resumed
because there will be a lack of in
clination to borrow 1t for new enter
prises. This will give the banks such
a surplus that they can respond tC
calls from time to time from the sec
retary of the treasury for the surren
der of public funds and these funds
can be applied to the redemption Of
the one-year certificates. Treasury
officials and others who have beer
through previous periods of strain de
clare that events after crisis always
follow practically the evolution above
set forth and that this evolution o.
events has been fully anticipated by
the administration

CLERGYMEN UP IN ARMS.
Action of New York School Board
Condemned.

New York, Nov. 26.-Scores of
clergymen in New York are up in
arms against the order of the board of
education providing that the words
Christ and Christmas must not appear
in the hymns and songs sung in the
public schools and that there must be
no Christmas celebration of any kind.
The subject was discussed in many
pulpits Sunday and it is said that an
effort will be at once made to induce
the board to rescind its action In the
matter. If this is unsuccessful it is
possible that the matter will be taken
into the courts, many claiming that
the board has no legal right to issue
such an order.

Only One Is Killed.

New York, Nov. 26-One man was
killed, several persons were injured
and traffic on the upper end of the
Lenox avenue branch of the subway
was blocked as a result of collision
between two Il" trains. The man
killed was Joseph Meyers of Jersey
City, motormen on the second train.
The injured, none of whom Is serious
ly hurt, were passengers. At the point
where the accident happened the
tracks run on high trestle. There
were 400 passengers in the two trains
and a moment after the crash they
began to pour out through doors and
windows. apparently in fear that the
cars were about to topple over into
the street. Many of them clambered
down ladders which had been hastily
raised from the street and others
picked their way along the trestle to
stations In either direction from the
scene of the wreck.

Thirteen Persons Burned to Death

New York, Nov. 26.-Thirteen per-

Some had been enveloped in the
flames and burned alive. Others, over.

agonies of death in the flames.
That the fatal fire was the work OF
incendiaries who sought revenge is
the opinion of the police and fremen
Three weeks ago three Italians were
caught in the act of attempting to rob
a safe in the saloon of Giuseppe Gu.
dano on the ground floor. The safe
contained over $4,000 which the sa'
loonkeeper's friends had withdrawn
from banks during the money panic.
The would-be robbers were arrested
and are now awaiting trial. The fire
started in Cudano's saloon and the
police believe that it may have been
the work of friends of the prisoners
who took this means of squaring the
account with the saloonkeeper.

Just what happened in the burning
building before the fire was checked
never will be known. So quickly did
the flames spread that almost before

pressed as closely as possible to the

of the blazing building with the ex
