ANOTHER ROAST
FOR J. R.
(Scripps News Associa tom


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. S.
Frasier, of Tennessee, in the SEN
ate today, used the san Francisco
school case to emphasize opposition
to encroachments of the federal
government. He declared the ia
nasese had no ground upon which
to stand in their demands.
Il believe" said Frazier, "the
president should have SO construed
the treaty and notified the Japa-
nese government accordingly. If
Japan makes war upon so f1imsy a
cause it will shock the civilized
world. However, if war comes
think it will be from a different
cause. the blunder the nation made
in forgetting its own Monroe doc
trine when it took the Philippine
islands"
He characterized the president
as a man who by force of arms
tried to compel American parents
to admit grown Mongolians into in
innate relations with their chill
dren; who with pomp ceremony
and a battle fleet trailing in his
wake, emulating the German kaiser,
had recently visited his outlying
provinces, Panama and Porto
Rico.

Trains will be started east this
evening. one due to leave here at

TRIES TO
MURDER MAN
ON STREET

Policemen this afternoon are
scattered over the Italian quarter
of town trying to locate an Italian
whose description is short, dark
and a heavy black mustache. At 1
O'Clock today the fugitive met an
other Italian in front of the Nelson
Wood & Coal Co. Office, 40 feet
from the livery stable Of Deputy
Sheriff Hamlin, and took two shots
at him.
Then the gun man took to his
heels, followed by mob Of people,
who pressed him so closely that a
dozen times he was compelled to
stop and brandish his revolver to
drive the crowd back. In the small
alleys between Front and Main
avs, near Division ST., he disap-
peared, and it was believed by
officers that he had hidden in one
of the shacks.
Deputy Sheriff Hamlin heard the
shots but thought some one was
blasting rock. When told it was
a shooting scrape he gave chase
to as many. as 20 different Italians,
all of whom put him on new
trail. In the meantime riot call
was sent to the police station and
every available detective and po-
liceman was sent out by Sergeant
Sullivan.
Detectives Alec Macdonald and
Herndon were the first to reach the
scene and got a description of a
man whom they followed as far as
East Sprague av., where all trace
was lost.
After Macdonald and Herndon
separated Herndon captured the
man who was shot at and took him
to Jail. He had tried as hard to
get away as the man wanted. An
examination showed that two
bullets of Al calibre had entered
his clothing. He wore a heavy
mackinaw coat and five wooden un.
der shirts. The bullets had enter
ed the clothing and left black and
blue marks on his breast. That
the bullets did not penetrate far
Their is explained by the fact that
the would-be murderer was too
close when he fired for the bullets
| to gain a sufficient velocity.

Der. Love madness was Holden's

tache and watery eye, he was
far from looking the Adonis.
But Holden Is alleged to have IL

"Such career as yours Is a
menace to society, and you've got
to be taken care Of. The maxi

plea of guilty I will show you
some mercy. The sentence Of the

why she had spoken to White at
all.
Jerome early this morning had
Maize Toilette, Anna Crane and
Edna Chase, chorus girls, arrested,
and is looking for Hattie Forsyth
and Paula Edmonds. He expects
to prove by these witnesses further
relations of Evelyn with White af-
ter the alleged seduction.
The first intimation was given
today of the point upon which the
defense expects to secure acquittal.
That point is the fact that White
was unwilling to give up Evelyn
and sought to drag her down
through the depths from which the
genuine love of Thaw for her and
of herself for Thaw had raised her.
The girl was on the stand all
morning, but it was nearly noon
before she was able to give testi-
mony of real weight.
In answer to the question If af-
ter her marriage White tried to APP
proach her she said:
yes; | passed him on Fifth av.
He held out his hand and said Eve
lyn,' that was all"
Thaw made her promise faith
fully that If White ever tried to
speak to her again she would re-
fuse to recognize him and she kept
the promise. Some time later,
while riding down Fifth av., she
saw White in a hanson following
her. She stopped, ran up in doc
tors Office stairs. but was so nerv-
GUS she ran down again, jumping
into a hanson, which she ordered
driven as fast as possible to the
hotel.
Did you ever tell Thaw why
White sent you to school in New
Jersey while you were on tibet
stage?"
Eyes, | told Thaw Jack Barry
more, who was in the same COM
pany with me, had asked me to Wis
it his apartments alone and that
refused. White became very angry
and sent me away to school,"
At this point Delmas asked adj
journment. The judge announced
that inasmuch as the jury is being
held together he would hold court
next Tuesday despite the fact that
1t is Lincoln's birthday.
Continuing her testimony, Eve
Ign said White came to her apart
ments afterwards at night and de-
manded to know what she had told
Hummel saying Hummel had
squeezed $1,000 out of him for al
legged services in the Thaw matter
and would probably squeeze an
other $1,000.
Witness had signed a paper once
for White which he refused to let
her see, but Hummel had burned
that in her presence.
In stating that she had married
Thaw in 1905 witness said she had
delayed the wedding in an effort to
save his reputation, as she felt her
marriage to him would hurt his
family after her experience with
White. She said she cared so much
for him she wanted to do nothing
that would hurt him. When they
went to England she said she had
been pleasantly received by Thaw's
sister, the Countess of Yarmouth.
Mrs. Thaw had visited her several
times before the marriage.
