LEGAL DUEL IN
THAW CASE
(Scripps News Association.)

(Scripps News Association)
NEW YORK, March 1.-THE
opening of the eighth week of the
Thaw trial this morning found
every one alert and anxious to see
what cards Jerome has and every
one expects surprise. Thaw show
ed signs of anxiety. The courtroom
was crowded and the corridors
thronged
Frederick w. Longfellow, form
er attorney for Thaw, was the first
witness. Two or three new faces
inside the railing are said to be
new alienists.
Jerome today revealed his inten-
ton of overthrowing Thaw's in
sanity defense. In beginning the
examination of Longfellow he ques-
toned the witness about the suit
Ethel Thomas began against Thaw
in 1902, alleging he had whipped
her. This was the suit brought by
Hummel but never pressed.
Delmas challenged the question
and Jerome in his argument clear
ly showed his hand. He argued
that he proposed to show the tales
Evelyn told of other girls being
ruined by White could not have up
set his mind because he had known
of such cases recited by Evelyn be-
fore he ever heard her own story,
Evelyn's story told Thaw, Je-
rome declared, could not have
caused the brain storm" which
led to Whites death. jerome went
into details in his argument, get
ting before the jury facts he could
not have brought out on the stand,
Delmas fought hard, insisting this
was an effort to contradict Eve
lyn's testimony Of what she had
told Thaw and therefore mad
missable. Fitzgerald finally sus-
tanned the objection to the ques-
ton.
A moment later Delmas again
blocked Jerome and the afternoon
was spent in a hot fight between
the attorneys. A number of minor
witnesses were examined after
Longfellow was excused.

SUITES WANTS TO
SEE RED LIGHTS

e. w. Suites wants to in
augurate a red light system of iden-
LITIGATION for the fire alarm boxes.
He has lately been to Washington,
D. c., where red lights are render
ing satisfactory service in guiding
the hurried citizen to a fire alarm
when he happens to have use for
such things. Spokane has 200
alarm boxes and the Western
Union 100 more in use. To the
average citizen they are meek and
lowly, as we'll as unobtrusive, and
Suites wants them distinguished in
a manner that will make them
quickly available.
But Fire Chief Myers can't be
converted to the red light theory.
He contends that when thing OF
any sort gets too prominent or con.
spicuous in this country it gets
shot by the boy with sling. The
chief figures that those red lights
would make tempting targets no
youth could resist, and the city
would constantly be confronted
with repair bill in consequence.

in reality Stewart refuses to make

though several others have received

The only name likely to receive
favorable consideration is Arthur
B. Baines, butcher and republican,
from the Third ward. Several
prominent politicians in the Third
ward have asked that Mr.. Baines
be given all the consideration pos.
sible. Some democrats have also
sent delegates to the front, but it
is understood that the council will
name Baines. 1t is considered good
politics, this appointing of repub-
lican, because the democrats argus
that the ward sent a republican in
last election, and republican
should have the benefit until the
term expires.
But behind this there is much
better politics-the more up to
date politics they are beginning to
learn in Spokane-sort of Tam
many politics. Baines, notwith.
standing he is a republican, usual
ly voted with the democrats when
he was councilman before.
With Baines in, there will be
nothing to it but all the democrats
wish for, and perhaps more. The
council stands five and five, with n.
S. Pratt always voting with the re-
publicans. With Baines in, Mr..
Pratt's vote will be overcome. 1t is
a case of using republican voting
democratic against democrat vot-
ing republican.

F. B. Knapp, $40 Springfield, has
been trying for three days to get
the city health department to pay
some attention to two cases of
what proved to be measles in his
family. He feared at first it was
smallpox and asked to have the
children examined. The party that
answered the health Office phone
merely told him to get a doctor,

had had smallpox there was time

exposed before any official atten-
