Sing from the JOY of living;
sing as the bird IN crowded mart,
Sing, love and pleasure giving.
Sing while you vork-'tis labor's creed.
Sing msdrigals TO duty:

Sing to the praise of beauty.
Sing in the morning when you rise
Sing IN the gloom - even:

Just as things We're looking promising
for fight against the bill for the regis
tration OF all eases of tuberculosis in
the District. Mr. Campbell OF Kansas. in
the House today. called for vote on
the bill and the Speaker declared It
passed.
Mr., Sherley of Kentucky told the
Speaker that he and some other gentle
men IN the House wished to discuss the
matter and objected to the bill being
rushed through in such n manner. The
Speaker then said that without obiec-
tion the action of the House in passing
it would be vacated and the discussion
resumed.
To this Chairman Babcock. of the
House District Committee, objected
and, therefore. the bin was passed
when as matter OF fact. il might
nave been defeated had the DEBATE been
prolonged
In c6jecti1g to the bill earlier in the
discussion Champ Clark of Missouri
said;

they are about TO marry II girl or
boy Is registered at the Health Office

HUMAN HEART FOUND
ON ?. R. R. CAR TRUCK

Officials of the Pennsylvania railroad
in this city, assisted by detectives form
tho Central Office. are trying today TO
solve the mystery in connection with
the gTuesOme find OF a human heart and
liver on the truck rigging OF one of the
coaches Of train No. 80, which arrived
in this city at S:4S O'Clock Saturday
night. No. SO is one of the Pennsyl-
vania's crack express trains between
New York and Washington.
When J. Connors. a car inspector.
made an investigation Of the running
gear shortly after the train pulled into
the shed, he was Mortified 10 find the
heart and liver hanging TO one of the
trucks. Neither of the organs was nnu-
tilated to any extent, and had been torn
or removed from the body only a few
hours before, He notified W. W. Cor
don. yardmaster. and the heart and liver
were sent to the District morgue
MorguemaSter SchOnenburger said
that both organs were small, but II was
impossible to tell whether they were
those of a man or woman. The heart is
in perfect condition. but the liver is
slightly torn.
At the Pennsylvania Offices il was
stated this morning that all trains are
Inspected in Baltimore, and as every
thing was reported all rignt there il is
believed that the heart ard liver were
picked up by the train between here and
the Monumental City.
Captain Daley. of the Ninth police
precinct. made an investigation yester-
day. but was unable to learn any ad-
oitional facts. All towns between here
and Baltimore have been communicated
with, but operators at these places have
heard nothing about the finding of a

After an extended conference IL was
agreed that Senator Berry Of Arkansas
should be given the floor Immediately
after the morning business. to make
his speech on the Smoot case.
Senator Berry spoke in support Of the
resolution reported by the Committee
on Elections. declaring strictly that
Senator SmOot was not entitled J~ his
seat in the Senate. It IS the theory Of
the anti-SmoOt people that should this
resolution pass by a majority vote il
viii amount TO excluding Mr. Smoct
and leave him just as though he had
never been sworn in. Thus il is pro-
posed 10 avoid the necessity Of eNpeII-
ing him. which would require a two

Senator Berry declared himself as I'm
no way acJuated by any personal re-
uglOuS or political dislike or ureirl5ire
in his opposition 10 the Utah Senator.
Upon the other hand he paid the Sena-
tor a number Of personal compliments.
Taking up next the question OF the
Senate power TO pass such resolution
as mad been reported by the Committee
on Elections, he said that there could
be no effective questioning of that
power The power of the Senate over
its own membership. he said. was fully
as broad as its power TO eNpel a member

years service. was bctre the Senate

Sergeant Sanders related the occur
rences the night OF August l3. lie was
awakened in his quarters which he oc-
cupied as a married non-commissioned
officer when the firing broke out.
These quarters were about five hun
dred yards from the barracks.
A remarkable feature Of Sergeant San
ders' testimony was that he declared
when he ran from his quarters toward =
barracks the firing was going on and
bullets were WhiZZinE over his head
from the direction Of the town and
toward the hospital
Sergeant Sanders also declared when
he was s-questioned. that be had
been under fire repeatedly. He described
the sounds of firing that night and the
sound of the new Springfield he said
he could detect the Springhelds.

Mrs. Harry Than
Again on Stand;
Identifies Note

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw resumed the stand to-
day, and continued her testimony in
behalf of her husband. She was
questioned by Mr.. Delmas as fol-
lows:
Q.-You testified that while you
were at dinner in the Cafe Martin
on June 25, 1906, you wrote a note
which you passed to your husband?
A--Yes.
Il now ask the learned district
attorney to produce that note" said
Delmas.
Il have sent for it, said jerome.
While waiting for the production OF
the paper. Mrs. Thaw passed the time
exchanging endeaTing smiles and glances
at her husband. He smiled very much
gayer and happier than he mas ever be-
fore been since the trial started.
Here is the note that Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw wrote % her husband at the
Cafe Martin:

but went out again"
The note was brought in by Mr.
jerome and marked. 90"
is that the note YOU wrote?
A.-Yes il IS
Mr.. Delmas said:

District Attorney BalkS
Every Move Of the
Defense.
Fails to Secure the Ad-
mission of ThaW'S
Will.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Balked at
every turn by the clever tactics and
sustained objections of District At
tOrney Jerome, the defense in the
trial of Harry X. Thaw for the muir
der of Stanford White was today
forced TO cry for quarter, and seek
an adjournment until the Napo-
IeOnic DelmaS could marshal his
badly shattered forces.
The fight opened with an attempt
by Delmas TO get before the jury
the now famous viii OF Thaw, made
on his wedding eve. With the call
in of the first witness, J. d. Lyons,
Of Pittsburg, in whose custody the
document had been left by Thaw,
Jerome made it evident that he
would fight TO the last ditch TO have
the document excluded. He based his
objections on the ground tat the
document was evidence along the
line of the insanity plea and that
line Of the insanity plea and that TO
testimony. expert or otherwise, 10
bear out the theory of the defen-
dant's insanity Lyons was with
drawn and Attorney Gleason, in
whose hands the Will was placed. as
evidence, was next called. Again
Jerome's tactics resulted in check
mating the defense and Gleason left
the stand, and the platter Of the viii
was allowed TO go over temporarily.
Defense Switches Tactics.
Evelyn Thaw was then recalled. and
the defense switched its tactics and
sought to introduce evidence along the
line Of its self-defense plea, but again
Jerome's objections on the ground that
no basis had been offered for this line
Of defense were sustained, and after
fiOunderiuS about for an hour and en-
gaging in a squable over technicalities.
Delmas requested an adjournment at
l2-31
Evelyn Thaw was recalled from the
stand, and IL is probable that she will
not again be summoned as q witness
until more OF the expert testimony has
been introduced. During the afternoon
session the defense Will devote its time
90 building up the basis OF It's insanity
and self-defenSe pleas
The most important feature of the
morning session was the getting before
the jury OF the contents of the note
which Evelyn passed 70 her husband at
the table at Martins on the night Of
the Staying OF Stanford White.
