DELMAS CLOSES ARGUMENT
Bitterly Assails Stanford White-The
Case Will Go to Jury
Today.

NEW YORK, April J.-ln an elO-
quent appeal both to the written and
unwritten law, Dolphin M. Delmas
this afternoon commended Harry
Thaw's fate to the jury. The Call
fornia attorney concluded his five
hours summing up speech, declaring
his client was justified in killing
Stanford White. ~.
Tomorrow morning Jerome will
make an appeal in behalf OF the
prosecution. Justice Fitzgerald
will probably charge the jury i'm
mediately and by tomorrow evening
at the latest the famous case will
pass to the deliberations of the
twelve men who have so carefully at
tended its uncertain course for weeks
past. Jerome expects to speak for
three or four hours. Justice Fitz-
gerald will not say today whether
he will or will not charge the jury
directly after the district attorneys
remarks, but the general impression
is he will do SO.
With the exception of moments
when he was reading from the testi-
mony Delmas' speech today was one
of sustained oratorical effort. He
threw about the form of Harry Thaw
the cloak Of chivalrous knighthood.

Bitterly the attorney assailed Stan
ford White. He declared White
sought to play with Evelyn Nesbit so
long as her beauty lasted, and then
would have thrown her away like
dirty rag to float down life's sew
ers to a grave in the potters' field
Delmas discussed but briefly the
testimony of the expert witnesses,
declaring whatever weight might at
tach to their utterances was on the
side of the defendant.
He declared the burden of proof as
to Thaws sanity at the time of the
homicide rested with the prosecution,
which had failed to make out its
case.
In discussing Thaw's mental state
Delmas came at last to the ''unwrit-
ten law" He declared the experts
had been at loss to classify the
form Of insanity from which Thaw
suffered.

declared. 81 would call it demon

Twice during his closing period
Delmas was interrupted by Assist.
ant District Attorney Garvin, who
suggested the argument was taking
too wide a scope, and Fitzgerald
called Delmas' attention to the fact
!, Thaw seemed to be in the best Of
spirits and declared to his lawyer:
that he felt the case was won.
In view of the district attorney:

CONTRACTS FOR SUPPLIES.
Tenders for supplies for the Settle
ment and the Insane Asylum for the
first six months of 1908 were sub.
mitted to the board.
Superintendent McVeigh, at the in,
stance of the president, brought up
the matter of bread for the Settle
ment. A tender from California offer
ed bread at four cents a pound, but
he would prefer bread from Loves
Bakery, Honolulu, on account of its
greater freshness. The difference was
three-fourths of a cent a pound higher
for Loves bread, yet it was sub
mitted it would be worth paying that
much more for fresh bread.
Mr. Smith moved that all tenders
for supplies be referred to the presi-
dent, the lowest responsible bidder for
each article to receive the contract.
with the exception of that for bread,
which goes to Loves Bakery.
In case of a tie shall we toss ulI
as usual?" Mr. Pinkham asked.
Mr.. Robinson did not think that
method fair. In case of large supplies
of an article, they ought to be di-
vided between tied bidders.
Mr.. Smith suggested that if there
were several ties. a fair division might
be made by awarding whole contracts
to different firms.
Secretary Charlock stated that there
were five ties in the Asylum and eight
in the Settlement bids. DR.. Peterson
preferred Hawaiian soap for the Asy-
lum. 1t was higher priced, but had
less sand in it than the imported arti-
Gle.

The present liquor law went into
effect on July ] and since that time the
number of arrests made by the police
and by the police acting with the in
spector have been thirty-six and the
convictions obtained fifteen. During the
corresponding period last year the ar
six.
Sheriff Iaukea regards these figures as
evidence that no matter how active the
police have been in the matter of sup
pressing gambling they have in no wise
neglected their other duties.
REASON FOR PUBLICITY.
Mr.. Ballentyne was seen by an Ad-
vertiser representative on Thursday
and the differences between the Board
and the police were discussed, but moth
ing for publication was given out, Mr..
Ballentyne stating that he thought it
for the best interest Of the community
that the friction beween the two bodies
be not made public.
In view of the fact, however, that it
is believed that the matter has been
discussed in the Civic Federation and
that a certain amount of it has been
discussed in public, Sheriff Iaukea gave
out the correspondence yesterday. Mr..
Ballentyne has not yet answered the
reply sent to him, but letter express
ing the further views of the License
Commissioners is in preparation.
TAYLOR IS STATEMENT.
The statement of Chief Taylor, re-
ferred to in the letter of Sheriff Iaukea,
was to the effect that he had instructed
Leal and Madeiros to be careful not
to exceed the authority given them
under the search warrant, the police
department having been given one or
two sharp lessons already in the matter.
The report made by Leal, which also
accompanied the sheriff IS letter, was to
open the door of the store to be search
ed or to enter by the window, advising
the inspector to wait until the owner
returned with the keys.
At that time the Inspector accused
the two policemen of trying to throw
him down and stated that if he had |
known the way they were going to act
he would never have brought them with
him.

As a result of what is said to be

ACCOUNTANTS OF RAILROADS
TO BE SWORN AGENTS OF
GOVERNMENT
TO ENFORCE THE TARIFFS
All Authority In the Matter Of Allow
ing Claims Will Be. Charged
Under New Plan

Washington, April 13.-To put an
end to rebates and determinations
in railroad charges, the interstate
commerce commission proposes to
take radical step. The commission
er will make every head accountant
of a railroad a sworn agent of the
government, bound to the exact en-
forcement of the law and to guar
antee that the letter of published
tariffs shall be enforced to the max
ing and collecting of charges. This
plan of enforcing the new law has
been devised as a result of the studies
of Prof. Henry G. Adams, in charge
Of statistics for the commission.
Under the new plan the allowance
of claim will become a mere matter
of accounting, instead Of a matter of
traffic. No traffic officer will be en-
powered to order that an AS rate
shall be the published tariff rate less
20 per cent, and that BIS rate shall
be the published rate less 10 per cent
To obey the order would involve the
sworn accounting officer in a viola
ton of the law, and of his oath to
obey it. So it has been decided to
take away from the traffic officials all
discretion and authority in the mat
ter of claims. 1t shall become ex-
clusively an accounting affair.

Baton Rouge, La, April 10
Democratic Congressman George K.
Favrot, was set free Thursday after
having been in Jail continuously for
about five months, under arrest on
charge of murder, and awaiting ac-
ton of grand jury. Today, by a
unanimous vote, the second grand
jury, which has considered his case.
refused to indict the congressman.
Favrot last November shot and
killed DR.. R. H. Aldrich, of Baton
Rouge, who had been his lifelong
friend. The congressman declared
that the physician had made dispar-
aging remarks about Mrs. Favrot.
The shooting occurred after an ex-
citing election, in which Favrot had
demonstrated great popularity, and
while FaVrOt was still judge of the
Baton Rouge court, which today set
him free. He resigned and was in
dicted by split vote by grand jury,
which had been selected under his
jurisdiction before the shooting. Be-
