TRIAL Of THAN
NAY Be DELAYED
Witnesses for Prosecution
Said to Have Left
State.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Harry Kendall
Thaw. slayer of Stanford White, Will
eat his Thanksgiving, Christmas. and
New Year dinner in the dingy old Tombs
prison. This. too, despite the statements
Of his recently acquired counsel, Martin
W. Littleton. that his trial will begin
next Monday, and be hurried. 1t was
learned today that when the case is
called next Monday District Attorney
Jerome will ask a postponement TO the
January term. and that the request Will
be granted.
Littleton will strenuously oppose the
delay. He viii urge that his client has
already been kept In Jail far beyond
the limit of law without trial, the first
having resulted IN hung jury, and viii
demand either that Thaw be given free
dom on bail, or that the trial proceed.
AT 5he criminal courts building there
is a growing belief that there is another
Potent reason for desiring delay. II IS
TumOrcd that certain material witnesses
are causing the prosecution distinct uu-
cusiness. Some IRE beyond the JuTis-
diction of the court and declare they
dc not intend to become responsive TO
SubDoenas,
Little.on may have something to do
with this lie Is a great crOss-exam-
moreover Jerome admits this-aud
there are said to be several witnesses
not anxious to submit to grilllng that
Will expose almost their secret thoughts.
Therefore. II IS accepted as a fact about
the criminal courts building that the
second trial will not begin until Janu-
airy.

ture treatment Of Rock Creek from
Massachusetts avenue TO the mouth Of
the creek were advanced by the menu
bers OF the National Society OF Fine
Arts. the Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation, and representative property
owners and citizens ut a hearing before
the District Commissioners today. The
majority Of the speakers advocated the
preservation OF the valley as a public
park as opposed to the closed or tunnel
ing scheme.
George A King. a member OF the
BOARD OF Trade ard National Society
OF Fine Arts, In urging the open treat
ment." called attention to the dumping
by District contractors OF ashes ana
refuse along the banks OF the creek. 1T
is to my mind remarkable" said Mr..
King, that the Commissioners, who
should be the guardians CT the city,
should allow such spoilation Of its
beauty
Mr.. Kings remarks were received
with applause.
The dumping. said Mr.. Maofarland.

II a man did not care IL his contrtbu-
ton 10 churches or charity were
known, he should feel the same way
concerning his contributions 10 politics,
provided there was nothing Illegal IN
connection with such contributions.
Sentiment Strong.
Concluding. Mr.. Bryan said, in part:
THE proposition is one thu right OF
which no man would publicly dispute,
and 1 am exceedingly hopeful that
sentiment is now strong enough to
coerCe Congress into voting on such a
bill Immediately. When Congress does
vote, there is but one result, in my
mind.
THE question has arisen as to wheth-
er the list Of contributions should be
published before or after the election.
IL IS but a logical step from the proof
that such a measure should be taken
to go one step farther and demand
that the announcement be made pre-
vious to the election. for If investigation
should develop that all was not as
1t should 10. it would be too late TO
make amends after the election, and
the purpose of the measure would fail. ."
