In the United States circuit court at
Montgomery, Ala, the railroads oper-
ated within the state brought suit to
prevent the execution Of certain laws
passed by the legislature fixing freight
rates and reducing passenger rates to
2 cents mile. 1t is alleged that these
rates would be confiscatory and that
they force service for which no ade-
quate return is made.

One Kitchen For the Town.


AT Montclair, q New Jersey suburb
of New York, there is projected n do
nestle service corporation for the pur-
pose of doing away with the drudgery
of the kitchen and substituting for it
a central plant which shall prepare all
the family's food, bring it to the house
three times a day and take away the
soiled dishes, leaving to the housewife
only the pleasant task of adjoining the
table as may suit her fancy. Some of
the advantages claimed for this plan
are the solution of the servant girl
problem, the combination of q first
class hotel service with the comforts
and privacy of ones own home, abso-
lutte freedom from the care and worry
Of providing for the table and a cost
for the highest grade of food prepared
in the very best manner probably not
exceeding that for the average family
table. The corporation may extend its
service so as to include laundry work.

dening.

UNIONS UPHOLD STRIKERS

All the unions that met last night
voted to support the carmen's
strike, morally and financially. To-
night the Central Labor body will
meet and 1t is said will arrange for
financial support. Tuesday night
the Building Trades alliance will
meet for the same purpose. Ed
ward McMorrow, member OF the
executive board, who Is in charge
Of the strike, today said he was
pleased with everything thus far.
He said that with the financial sup
port of local unions and the central
body the strikers would be we'll
taken care of. He SCOTS the report
that strikers fired through win
dows. Other union men believe
private detectives did the shooting,
II any was done, for the purpose OF
arousing public sympathy in favor
Of the company and against the
strikers.

STILL ANOTHER
SPECIAL ARREST

c. A. Gregory, Traction Co. car
man, was ordered to leave his car
at the Traction barns, Oliver and
Hamilton SITS, late last night and
accompany w. w, p. Inspector Ru-
dio to the police station. Gregory
had finished his run and was with
crowd that hollered "scab" at a
w. w. p. car passing. Rudio came
out with gun, and when Gregory
made his presence known ordered
the latter to climb on and go to
town. Gregory refused to leave un-
til he had turned his car in, and
then refused to ride with Rudio.
Accompanied by about 20 fellow
workmen he walked down to the
station and was promptly released.
The police found nothing to hold
him on. The men obeyed the
summons only in respect to Rudio's
star,

riot"

A vastly different version than
that printed in the Spokesman-Re-
view of the riot" at Hillyard last
night is given The Press by men
who witnessed the proceedings and
feel that their town has been
slandered by deliberate misrepre-
sentation.
AS these witnesses tell it, the
trouble that resulted in the arrest
of A. Richardson was caused by
conductor No. 142, on a w. w. P.
Co. car, shaking and cutting nine
year old boy who hollered "scab." y
This boy is the son Of Engineer
Jack Croak, who was killed two
years ago.
Richardson protested against the
way the boy was treated and was
Immediately arrested by Specials
Byram and Hamlin. There was no
fighting or rock throwing, although
the railroad men were angry at the
rough treatment given a child of
their dead comrade by a grown
man. Five specials took part in the
arrest, and Richardson, who had
demurred at going on the car, was
beaten over the head with a billy
after he had been placed in seat.
Seeing this, George Banks warn
ed the specials to desist, as Rich
ardson was not resisting, and the
men would not see him abused.
Later when three of the specials
left the car they handcuffed Rich
ardson and he was brought to the
police station as if he were high
way robber.
On leaving the other specials at
Hillyard Byram caused laugh
by telling his colleagues to shoot
them down like dogs if they
had to-"
And then Deputy Sheriff McPugh
came along and took Byram's star,
telling him he had done enough
mischief for one time. McPugh
gave the railroad boys little quiet
talk and the trouble was all over,
as they had no intention Of Great
Ing riot. Somebody had placed
torpedoes on the track, but no harm
was done.
The Hillyard men who witnessed
the occurrence were ]. c. Patton
J. Lobner, w. Evans, S. s. Shields,

, Banks, Lee Stout, Frank Cave and
r. y. Burbank. Shields is mer-
chant at Hillyard and the rest are

CLOSE MAILS TO
THAW CASE

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Feb. IL
The president To-Day asked the
postmaster general to take steps to
bar from the mails hereafter news
papers printing Objectionable de-
tails of the Thaw case If he can do
so under the law. Following the
official announcement made this
morning at the White House the
president communicated with Cor
telyou to learn If it is feasible to
bar papers giving disgusting par
ticulars of the Thaw case. He
doesn't know whether 1t is feasible,
but If so he wishes it done.
The president frequently, since
the Thaw trial began. expressed
himself forcibly on the question,
and early ordered all attaches Of
the White House to watch care
fully and prevent by all means any
OF his own children getting hold
OF papers containing details.

their testimony on technical objec-
tions. Delmas had previously
stated that he had plenty of expert
testimony to prove Thaw's insanity.
The court sustained objection to
question about malefactors Thaw
is alleged to have said White set
upon his trail. Evelyn knew Thaw
carried a pistol when in New York.
A question as to the effect of see
ing White upon her husband was
ruled out, as were numerous other
question regarding Thaw's attitude
toward White. Court then adj
journed upon request of Delmas
that he might have time to prepare
expert testimony, for lack of which
most of his questions were ruled
out.
This afternoon Charles Wagner,
of champion, n. Y, was called
by the defense to build legal base
which the court ruled must be laid
down before starting on the in
sanity plea. The witness served as
house surgeon in the New York
Presbyterian hospital; as assistant
physician in the New York insane
asylum at Utica seven years, and
is now connected with the asylum
at Binghampton. After qualifying
as an expert he testified to know
ing Thaw. He said he had made
six visits to the Tombs between
June 26 and Oct. 8.
Repeated wrangles between Je-
rome and the defense followed over
what questions regarding Thaws
conduct the witness might answer,
the afternoon being a battle of le-
gal technicalities.

NEW YORK, Feb. A.-The first
announcement in the Thaw' trial to-
day was an edict from Judge Fitz-
gerald that no women would be per-
mitted in the court room except six
actively engaged in newspaper
work. The announcement caused a
buzz of indignation from the regi-
ment of scandal mongers and SEN
sation seekers
An agreement to protect public
morals as much as possible as
made between Jerome and attor-
neys for the defense before the
trial now seems certain to be brok-
en- and Jerome, to offset Evelyn's
testimony, will bring into the spot
light the regulations of many New
York millionaires: He may even at
tack Thaw's advertised love for his
wife, and introduce testimony that
after his marriage Thaw frequently
responded to the call of "Great
White way" and seek to show
Thaw's crusade against vice, in
which he enlisted the support OF
Anthony Comstock, was carried on
for selfish motives and that his
crusade was made under soiled
banner.
Such tactics will result in only
one thing. The defense will resort
to the same method and the trial
will become a delving in muck and
holding up to view the darkest or
gies of the half world.
The opening hour today was con-
sumed in a wrangle between at
torneys over the Introduction of
Thaw's will. Two witnesses were
introduced to identify the will when
Jerome's objections were sustained
and the will temporarily laid aside.
Evelyn Thaw was then recalled
to the stand and instantly the court
room became a scene of active in
terest. Shutting of feet and cram
ing necks followed her progress
down the ailse to the stand.
Delmas again asked Jerome to
produce the note Evelyn wrote to
her husband at the cafe on the
night of the killing. Several min
utes elapsed before Jerome finally
surrendered the paper. The wit
ness then identified it the one she
wrote. Delmas read it aloud. 1t
said:

but went out again"
The witness said the note refer
red to Stanford White. Delmas then
asked if she ever heard Thaw make
any threats against Whites life, but
Jerome again objected on the
ground that the question dN not
bear on the insanity plea. He was
sustained. Thaws attorneys imme-
diately went into conference on a

Dissatisfaction Is brewing over
the martial law maintained on Riv-
erside av. at the Howard st. cor
ner. Any danger from the street
car strike trouble seems to have
abated and yet a person thinking
more of getting home than any
thing else cannot stop on the cor
ner a moment, as usual, to wait for
his car without being gruffly order
ed to move on. 1t makes no differ
ence if you never even heard of a
strike.
Few people other than those en-
ployed by the w. w. p. Co. have
been able to see any hint of trou-
BILE on the street since the first
demonstration, but the strict rules
adopted then still apply to all ex-
cept company officials and en-
ployes. The latter are congregated
in the street at the corner at all
hours of the day, but none of them
hear the move on order.
The discrimination thus prac-
ticed was demonstrated Saturday
afternoon by A. E. Bailey and w.
E. Trautwein, two employees who
struck. They were told to move
and did so, but later they put on
the company street car badges they
still retained and returned to the
corner. Policemen and spoilers
alike passed them with a glance at
the company badge and they were
not disturbed until officials of the
