New York, March 15.-With Attorney
Dclmas fighting him every inch of the
way, District Attorney jerome today
secured from Abraham Hummel his
complete story as to the affidavit which
it is alleged Evelyn Ncsbit Thaw made
in the LAWYERS office in 1903, charging
Harry X. Thaw with beating her when
she had told him that the statement
that Stanford White had drugged and
ruined her was not true. The Hummel
testimony came during the afternoon
session of the trial today ard Mr.. Del
mas, first Directing broadly to all Of
Hummers testimony, offered a specific
objection to each question put by the
prosecutor.
Justice Fitzgerald overruled every
objection and Mr.. Delmas had eXcep-
tions to the rulings noted on the rec
ords.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw herself was
called to the stand in the effort of the
defence tc keep Hummel silent. She
declared she had called upon Hummel
| in his professional capacity and to seek
his advice as q lawyer. Stanford White
| lad taken her to the lawyers oiilc"
with that end in view.
Justice Fitzgerald declared that adj
hitting the proposition Of counsel and
client, Mrs. Thaw had herself waived
tht. professional privilege by taking the
stanl early in the case and giving her
version of what TRANSFERRED at hum
mei'S Office. The bond Of secrecy once
removed could not be re-establiShed
Unsuccessful in blocking Hummels tes-
| ti.luny, Attorney DelmaS in croSS-eX-
animation Of the witness. brought from
| lis own lirs the fact that he had been
| convicted in December. 1905, in the very
| court room in which Thaw is being
| tried on a charge of conspiracy. He
| further admitted that later indictments
| for subornation of perjury are pending
against him. and that one of these IN
| dictments charges him with having
| caused a false affidavit to be made.
| Mr.. Jerome protested against the Wit
ress being dragged through the hu-
| initiating details" of his trial, but JUS
tice Fitzrcrald declined to interfere
| Then Mr.. DelnaS asked Hummel II
he had not heard the speech mad" by
| District Attorney jerome when SEN
tcnce was about to be imposed; when
| Mr. Jerome urged the court to pass the
longest and heaviest sentence within
| its mower upon Hummel as ne had
been a menace to the community 10Y ~
years"
| Justice Fitzgerald finally sustained
| an objection to this ana llnmncl was
not compelled to answer.
| Mr. Delmas wanted to know II iiu'h-
| mel had had any more recent BUSINESS
transactions with the district attorney
and asked if Mr.. jerome was pressing

tho four railroad presidents frr whose

Morgan arranged before his departure
for Europe held conference at the
Grand Central station in this city to-
day. The whole situation was can
v&ssod with great care and it was fin
ally decided not to so to Washington
1t is understood that the reason for
this conclusion was that the four gen
tlemcn involved did not feel that they
had any proper mandate from the rail-
road corporations to represent them.
They felt that they could not assume
the position of clf-COnStitutCd COM
mission TO formulate or present tn"
views of the hundreds of railroad COM
panics which in turn are owned by
millions of shareholders. They recOg-
nized that the railroad managers Of
the United States are not themselves
in perfect accord and that until some
method could be adopted for securing
an agreement of opinion L visit to the
President would he idle. At the con-
clusi"n of the conference the presidents
left for their homes.
Thomas r. Ryan. when asked today
his opinion about the meeting arrang-
cd by Mr.. Morgan between the Presi-
dent and the heads of the great rail-
roads Of the country. while reluctant
to express his views ut length said:
Il believe that. if Mr.. MOrgan's visit
to the President is followed up as it
should be by all Of our great business
Interests. it will do much good
II also believe that the Presidents
attitude towards corporations is much
misunderstood by the general public.
II is unfair to a%sum" that il is his dc
sire to hamper the business interests
Of the country. | am, however. con-
WINGED that hc purposes to enforce the

MUHLFELDER's OPENING A MOST
 BRILLIANT sDCCESS.

The throngs which visited Muhlfel- ders opening of spring millinery Tues day and yesterday attested the popu larity of the establishment and the faith and entire confidence that there was display well worth viewing. And it is safe to say among the hundreds gathered there not one was disappoint ed. The exclamations of delight and the warm and emphatic words of praise and admiration clearly evinced the sat isfaction and pleasure of the visitors. It was indeed a spectacle worth going miles to see. The store itself was a bower of beauty. The delicate and ar tistic decorations were very beautiful and most tasteful. But the lovely ere ations in the line of marvelously rich and stylish millinery were the attrac- tions which monopolized the attention Of all. As has been predicted, the pres ent seasons goods are the elimination of beauty and art. To-day and suc- ceeding days will doubtless witness no diminution in numbers of those who will visit Muhlfelder's.
 The invitation is extended to all to come and see for themselves. It will be a pleasure, shared alike by the pro- prietor and assistants to witness the delight of those whose ideals of beauty and taste will be fully realized by this magnificent display

everywhere use Paxtine Toilet Antisep- tic as a wash for the teeth and mouth, as it is unequalled for killing the germs of decay, hardening the gums, purify ing and pertaining the breath, and keeping the teeth clean and white.
 Mrs. l.. M. Reynolds of New Bedford, Mass, writes: q must say Paxtine is a necessity in a womans toilet. My hus- band and I both use 1t as a mouth wash and for the teeth, and 1t is unequalled for other uses for which 1t is recorn- mended. We have never used any thing we liked so well
 Paxtine is the formula of a noted Boston physician, who used 1t with the greatest success in his private practice for years. It is unequalled for all uses
