MANY ARE SUFFERING
FROM HUNGER AND COLD
Towns Of Northwest Short OF Coal
With the Thermometer at Thirty
Below, and Trains at
Standstil.

st. Paul.-Twenty-tw degrees be-
low zero was registered by govern
ment thermometers on Tuesday Most
of the other thermometers went to
thirty below. Zero weather has pre-.
vailed for seventeen days. For three
days previous the temperature has
been nearly as low as on Tuesday.
In North Dakota thirty degrees be.
low has been common, and there has
been suffering. Railroads have been
badly demoralized For several days
past the main lines of the 500, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific have
been blocked and many of the branch
lines have been at standstill for
weeks. This has caused a coal famine
in many North Dakota towns. There
have been reports of many people
freezing to death, but these reports
have been denied from North Dakota
sources. 1t is, however, admitted by
railroad managers that the opening of
sp ng will tell some grewsome tales
of suffering, starvation and death.

President Roosevelt has approved Ad.

maica, and requested the secretary OF
the navy to express to Admiral Davis
his heartiest commentator of all that
he did. The expected report of Ad.
miral Davis on the circumstances
leading up to the withdrawal of the

the least somewhat embarrassing"

weeks occurred Monday at the Davis
Coal & Coke company's mine No. 25
at Thomas, near here, and twenty-five
or thirty miners are said to have

dence tending, it was said. to prove
strain of insanity in the collateral
branches of the defendants family,
but they were blocked at every point
by District Attorney Jerome, whose
objections were upheld by the rulings
of Justice Fitzgerald.
The defense did, however, get be-
fore the twelve men in the box the
testimony of an expert, that in his
opinion Harry Thaw was suffering
from insanity the night Of the trag-
edy. Mr. Jerome undertook to break
down the evidence of the alienist-Dr.
G.. G. Wiley of Pittsburg-and for
three hours put him through cross
examination as severe as was ever
heard in New York court. The
prosecutor was relentless in his at.
tack. and before he had finished DR..
Wiley protestingly said:
Il didn't come here as an expert. j
came as witness to fact, and ]
have been converted into an expert
without being prepared for it."

NEED MORE SHIPS.
May Have to Send Supplies for the
philippines in Foreign Vessels.

Washington. The quartermaster
general is confronted with a situation
which probably will compel authority
10 be given for the transportation OF
supplies to the Philippines in foreign
bottoms. Every effort has been made
to induce American owners to submit
bids, but the only proposal received
was from the steamship China, which
would not, it is said, make more than
couple of trips a year. III 1t appears
impossible to conform with the rule
that requires shipment OF government
supplies in American bottoms, it will
be necessary to make arrangements
with owners of foreign ships.
