made preparations for the rainy season
by removing the large hose cart from
the shed near the City Hall, and plac-

These little machines are light enough
that one man can pull them if neces-
sary, and narrow enough that they
can easily be run on the sidewalks,
thus obviating the annoyance Of hav-
ing to drag a heavy cart through
muddy ystreets in the case Of fire break
ing out during the winter months.

ton bill. carrying S21O,OOO.OOO the

and the witness formally declined to
make answer.
An examination of the entire tran
saction began. Mr.. Hartman first told
of the formation of the syndicate
which he said, contained many per-
sons and was represented by himself.
James Stillman, George Gould and
Mortimer Schiff. Ninety-seven per
cent of the stock OF the Alton was ac-
quired. 5000 paid for preferred and $l75
for common, the total investment
amounting to $42.OOO.OOO.
Bonds to the amount of S4O,OOO.OOO
were issued and the shareholders sub
scribed for them at 65. From the pro-
ceeds of the sale of bonds a dividend
of 80 per cent was declared. The wit
ness denied any participation in the
sale of the bonds at 90 to the New
York Life. The witness denied any
knowledge OF the whereabouts of the
record of the syndicate which handled
the bonds.
Mr.. Kellogg said: 81 want to prove
that after you bought the bonds for
65 you sold them for some other price.
But the witness could not remember
for what they We're sold and who were
the syndicate managers.
The witness told of the transfer of
the Alton railroad company to the Al
ton Railway company. When the
stock was placed in the treasury of
the latter company a mortgage of
S22. .OOO, 600 was placed on il and pre-
ferred stock to the amount of $19,-
$4,000 and common stock. $19, ,S42, 900
at par was issued against it.
I'm other words. you capitalized $39,-
100000 of the Alton stock for S62 ,O00,-
O0O?" asked Mr. Kellogg.
THAT is as you put it, answered
Mr.. Hartman.
The witness said the new company
assumed a mortgage Of $4O0O0.0OO is
sued by the old one Mr.. Kellogg de-
clared that the stock liabilities of the
company thus had been swelled 10
S122,OOO, 900.
Mr.. Kellogg asked what the roads
had to show for an increase Of more

The Ordeal of the Prisoners Wife is
Almost Concluded
Her Testimony Yesterday Partly Lifted Thaw Out
of Hole In Which the First Day of Her Cross En-
animation Left Him.

New York, Feb. 25.-Except for one
brief moment Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit-
Thlw had a decidedly easy day today
during the continuation Of her cross
examination by Jerome. When an ad-
jauumeut was taken the prosecutor
aluiunced that he had practically con-
o.uded with the witness.

olseJ tomorrow morning To enable

contents Of an affidavit before the jury
This afternoon by reading certain OF
the statements in the form of ques-
lions ana asking Mrs. Thaw if she told
such things to HummelI. In each in
stance she declared she had not. She
denied having ever signed such an af-
fidavit. admitting that she had sign
ed some papers for White in the Ma
olson Square Garden tower. the ma
tUre Of which she was not aware.

Thaw was intensely interested and
when the incident was over he turned

here. He stood there a liar. Do you
catch the point. a liar?'
Mrs. Thaw is in much better spirits
and did not fare at all badly at the
hands Of the district attorney. who was
more gentle in handling the witness
Instead Of further hurting the cause Of
her husband. Mrs. Thaw managed 10
make two decided gains. When the
court adjourned on Thursday it ap
peared from her statements that she
had used the letter of credit from
White while touring Europe and had
turned a letter over to Thaw. She
explained today that Thaw took the
letter. saying the money was poison
ous'' and neither she nor her mother
should touch 1t and that he would pro-
vide them funds. Whatever had been
spent of the money. she declared. was
for her mother.
The second point made was concern
ing the cablegrams which Thaw is
said To have sent To White from Lon
don. II appeared on Thursday that
these were requests to White to use
his influence in keeping Mrs. Nesbit
from raising a row." and interfering
with Evelyn continuing in the COM
pany OF Thaw. Mr.. JcromeS questions
today ELECTED the information that the
letters did not concern Mrs. Thaw at
all but related to a mana secretary
of the American embassy in London
whom Mrs. Thaw said had "sneaked
up to mammals bedroom and insulted
her" She said the man had also in
suited her and that Thaw had gone
in search of him but failed TO find him.
1t was evident that Jerome was
nearing the end Of his cross eXamina-
tion as he later announced The pro-
cecdings tomorrow with Hummell on

lhe House Passes the Measure CLEARING
Saloons of Women
1t Now Only Remains for the Council Accept
an unimpOrtant Change--The Fight Over the
hangers In Sight.

Yesterdays was not a history max
ing session of the Legislature though
it was by no means an idle one. A
number of bills were introduced in
each house and the assembly passed
or otherwise finally disposed of sew
eral There We're two finished laws.
a message was received Ii the house
from the governor announcing that he
had signed the GrOssetta bill making
cruelty TO animals a misdemeanOr and
the house billfor the appointment of a
commission to select a site for the ter
ritOrial prison and the reform school,
II is thought that the governor will
announce the appointments today.
Another and practically final step
was taken in the matter Of excluding
women from the saloons of this terri
tory where from time immemorial they
have been permitted unless prohibited
by local ordinance
The council had passed such a bill
and sent # TO the house. a committee
presented substitute for it yester-
day morning with a recommendation
that IL pass. The original bill was so
rigidly drawn that under a reasonably
strict construction Of il women could
not become guests Of a hotel to which
bar might be attached and most hO-
tells in this territory are so situated.
They would also be excluded from most
Of the fashionable clubs. The bill was
therefore amended so as to exempt
reputable hotels from its operation and
an attempt was made to define the
word saloon"
But when the amended bill was con-
sidered il became doubtful if the
amendment did not more nearly bring
the clubs under its ban since il was
defined as a place where liquor was
sold to be drunk on the premises
The amendment was therefore strick-
en- out and in that form the bill was
passed over the objection of Mr.. Muir
ply who protested that there was too
much reform going on and that instead
of making people better it would drive
them into socialism and anarchy.

that is not the case. Congress merely
