Railroad Officials Agree to Improve
Depot Accommodations.
A Salem correspondent says of the
railroad commission hearing yester-
day:
At the hearing held yesterday by the
state railway commission in the in
vestigation of the inadequacy of the
depot facilities and accommodation
on the railroad lines of the state, the
following railroad men were present:
H. f, Connor, A. C. Spencer and NJ.
j. Buckley, for the o. r. & N; c. N.
Macarthur for the Pacific Railway &
Navigation company; James b. Kerr
and ]. Mcguire, for the A. & C. r.;
Covert and Stapleton, for the Sunset
Logging company; Louis Gerlinger for
the Salem, Fall City & Western;
Hischberg, for the Independence &
Monmouth line: George Estes, for the
Pacific e Eastern railway; L. r.
Fields, division superintendent, for
the Southern Pacific, and George
Nevins, for the Corvallis & Eastern.
The railroad men present were in
accord with practically all the de-
mands made by the commission, but
did not believe the commission should
be too exacting as to those depots
where there are no regular agents or
where the storekeeper at the cross
roads station not only discharges his
own duties, but also those of station
agent. As a whole, the meeting was
harmonious and the railroad men are
mutually agreed to do what they can
TO improve and make the system more
adequate TO the needs Of the travelling
public.

After having been ont thrty-om
hours aud stlIl unable 10 agree upon
verdict, the jury which had Harry
Thaw's fate IN Its hands was locked
up for the second night, Thursday,
shortly before midnight.
Events moved swiftly and thrilling.
Iy In the last day of the great Thaw
trial In New York. For Thaw and for
those who were hoping for his acquit-
tai Il was the most soul trying ordeal
OF the twelve weeks which the trial
had lasted. Upon the heels of District
Attorney Jerome's closing address.
nearly every word of which was like
the blow of lash on Thaw and his
girl wife, Justice Fitzgerald charged
j, the jury In a manner that seemed to
dry up every vestige of hope for Stan
ford Whites slayer. And then the
case was given to the jury.
The closing day of the trial proceed
ings was the most dramatic since the
prisoners wife recited her pitiful story
on the witness stand. District Attor-
aey Jerome dissected the argument of
Mr.. Delmls for the defense and tore 1t
to shreds Selling upon incidents In
Thaw's life, he pictured the prisoner as
1 man whose character was as black as
that of Stanford White, and Evelyn
Nesbit he portrayed as a girl anything
out the innocent child Mr.. Delmas had
shown her.
Harry X. Thaw sat with clenched
fists and blanched face while District
Attorney Jerome tore his life to shreds,
and demanded that the jury assess
against him the death penalty. Sar-
easm tipped every word which the dis.
triet attorney spoke. He declared tho
pathetic ''unwritten law arguments OF
Mr. Delmas, If needed by the jury,
would turn New York into the SEM
blanee of western mining camp, and
ridiculed the "dementia Americana" on
which the final plea for aequittal had
been made.
The district attorney declared that
romance and sentiment did not enter
into the issue: It was not question
Of Stanford Whites character or Eve
lyn Thaw's sufferings; 1t was plain
matter-of-fact homicide. "A common
cowardly tenderloin murder" is the
way he termed it.

Career of Evelyn Nesbft Thaw.
Byron's expression, ..The fatal gift of
beauty" is strangely exemplifed in the
life story Of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. Eve
Ign Nesbit's early home. like Thaw's,
was In Pittsburg. She is the daughter
of Winfield Scott Nesbit. lawyer who
had a small practice and died leaving the
widow with only a pittance. At the age
of II Evelyn began to work for her liy-
ing in a Photographic studio in Philadel-
phia. Her employer took picture of
her to hang in an exhibition. and Evelyn
woke up the next morning to find herself
famous beauty. Artists began to beg
her to pose for them. and within a few
months she was earning good income
in New York as & model.
In these model days she met White,
who induced her to go upon the stage,
and persuaded a theatrical manager to
give her trial. Later White sent Miss
Nesbit to a fashionable eastern school
and after that she returned to the stage.
Among the host of men who were
smitten by her charms was Harry Thaw.
His attentions were at first received
with disfavor, although he had a habit
of sending to her home grand pianos,
