VOTING MUCH TIME TO DE-
PENDANTS EXPERT.

New York, March District Attor-
ney Jerome during the day continued
his cross1examination of DR.. Britton
d. Evans, one of the alienists for the
defense In the trial of Harry K. Thaw
for the murder OF stanford White.
The entire morning was taken up
with questions concerning details Of
certain OF Thaw's letters which have
been admitted in evidence. DR.. Evans
would examine the letters closely
from time to time and Mr.. Jerome
was obliged to repeat some of his in
terrogaLions many times before Sc
curing what he considered definite
answer. DR.. Evans said the letters
denoted insanity at the time Thaw
wrote the letters, but that he would
not always remain insane . the expert
added.
There were only fifty spectators in
the courtroom when the proceedings
began and half of these had left by
the time the luncheon recess was Or
dered.
The long drawn out cross-examina-
tion of DR.. Evans precludes the possi-
bility of the defense concluding its
case this week.
Thaw daily receives hundreds OF
letters, nearly all of which express
hope and the belief that ne will be
acquitted He brings many of these
to court with him IN big brown paper
envelopes and spends a good part of
the day in reading them with evident
satisfaction
At the close of the afternoon ses-
sion Mr. jerome announced that Dr.
Evans cross-exanination would re-
quire day more.

two-cent fare idea is hopeful sign
and we herewith tender our congratu-
lationf to the majority for their manly
manifestation of absolution from rail
road rule. But we mustinsist that their
zeal temporarily became fanatical and
usurped the throne of reason. The
hasty action Of the House was un-l
necessary and ill-advised; it was posi-
lively dangerous.
The railroads appear to rule Con-
gress and it must constantly be borne
in mind that comparatively Minnesota
is only state. The reform element
may maintain supremacy, but the
struggle in this state is just beginning.
The fact that the House passed g fair
reciprocal demurrage bill and waved
its approval at the passing two-cent
fare measure, is accepted BY some as
proof that the special interests are on
the run. Be not deceived.
While it may be true thsti the rail-
roads will only attempt TO modify the
provisions Of the reform measures
an anti-pass bill, two-cent fare and
reciprocal demurrage they realize
that the combined importance Of ~
these three is small compared with the
benefits that would come to the whole
state from the enactment Of 4 Law that
would prevent exhorbitant and die.
eliminating freight rates. The rail-
roads may be satisfied with the in
sertion Of s.jokersn in other bills, but
only the complete defeat Of the dis
tance tariff idea will do for them. The
fight Of the session viii center shout
that measure.
Today hardly single section OF this
state, except it's three large cities. can
be said to be improving. This lack Of
development is due directly to rail-
road discrimination. No question on
industrial or economic consequences
has ever been of such vital import.
ance to the rank and file in Minnesota
as this present problem of railroad
rate regulation. It affects every man,
woman and child in the state. Minne-
sofa belongs to the people. It is your
province and your duty to investigate,
TO act.
Morris tribune., 1907-03-02

Immediately folloying this commits
tee meeting the House convened and
the redrafted two-cent fare bill was
placed before that body. When its
Introduction and approval by the rail-
road committee were announced a
motion was made to make the bill a
special order for certain day, upon
which final action should be taken.
Then arose a discussion as to what
day it should be taken up. The sug-
gestion was made that the house
should act upon the measure before
the Senate did and at this psychic
moment member took the floor and
Morris tribune., 1907-03-02

Was there "joker" in the two
cent fare bill which the friends of re-
form helped to railroad thru the
House? The bill had in it provision
which seems to say thatthe state shall
uphold the law in the courts. Why
was that section inserted and what
does it mean? If it is back. door
avenue of evasion, was it placed there
unconsciously, or had some enemy OF
reform an unseen hand in the matter.
Morris tribune., 1907-03-02

Before this is published the Senate
will probably have acted upon the
two-cent fare measure. And if it
develops that the House billdoes con
tain Hjoker' the matter may be
amended there.
Morris tribune., 1907-03-02

What was the occasion for such
feverish haste? The law, as proposed
in this bill, was not a matter of i'm.
perative and instant necessity. Il
was not to become operative until
May first. In view of this fact coulo
the hysterical haste of the House be
justified on the ground that the meas.
ure was of supreme importance? Was
that not reason rather for regular
routine deliberatien?
