sTATESMAN'S PREDICTION COMES TRUE
COUNCILS MYSTERIOUS SESSION
WAS DEVOTED TO SECOND
STREET PAVING.

AS predicted in yesterdays States
man the question of fixing up the Sec
Ond street paving muddle was taken
up at the star chamber session of the
city council yesterday afternoon.
When the ordinances designed to cor
rect the legal defect in the McKean-
signed paving ordinances are brought
up it is probable that they will be
amended by cutting down the amount
of paving provided for in the Second
street specifications.
These ordinances will probably not
be brought up tonight as time will be
needed to draw the amendments. The
Second street matter was the pricipal
cause of disagreement in the council
an it is probable that little objection
will be made to the corrected ordinance
es when they are brought up.
Among the matters to be brought up
at the council meeting tonight is that
of contracting for some $500 of fire
alarm supplies. The Alder street
bulkhead matter may afford an oppor-
part of the city dads

cerning the prospects for a BILL
There may be few people opposed
to it but think only few and that
most of the people on the Sound will
stay with US. They got what they
wanted and / don't see why they
shouldn't"
Mr.. Weber explained that the bill
which would probably pass provided
for $3.50, 900 to be placed in the hands
Of a commissioner without salary, who
should turn the same over to the Sec
rectary of war to be used by him in
connection with a government appro'
priation. Mr.. Weber said that he fav'
ored this scheme himself as he thought
it would be the means of saving at
least $3.50 to the state on account of
the fact that the government had such
ground.
He said that the friends of the bill
in eastern Washington had a meeting
on Thursday after he had left.
Mr.. Weber accompanied by his
brother Joseph arrived here late yester-
day afternoon. He had been obliged
to lay over two days at Pasco, one at
North Yakima and one at Seattle and
was somewhat tired out.
He said that with the exception of
being tired he was feeling as well as
usual. He has been down town most
of the day talking with friends. He
expects to leave for Olympia on Friday
or Saturday.

Robert E. Allen, manager of the

at the brides home on North Second

by Father Loefller of st. aPtrick's

The wedding was kept secret from

bride were on their way to Seattle
before many of the inner circle knew
that it had actually taken place. None
but the witnesses and two or three
friends were present.
Both the bride and groom are well
known in Walla Walla. Mrs. Dooly is

Robert Allen came to this city about
five years ago. He first worked for
the Walla Walla Meat & Cold Storage

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-That million

his attorneys are worried and his
friends have all joined the worry club.
After a week of hard work Thaw's
defense has gotten nowhere. has not

Delmas and his aides, entering court
this morning showed the strain they
and looks, indicated it is certain that
radical action has to come. All are
on the qui vive except Jerome who
is daily proving himself to be the
real article In trapped insanity. There
is no telling from his countenance the
state Of his mind.
To date the one telling point of the
defense Is Evelyn's story. Upon this
alone the public think 1t is likely the
jury will disagree or acquit upon
grounds of justification, but the de-
Tense must prove something acceptable
under the laws which 1t has not done

sonable doubt of Thaw's sanity.
Evans First Witness.
DR.. Evans, the a1ienist, was the first
witness called this morning.
Jerome objected to Delmas' first
question and the court sustained him.
Evans was then asked to state the OBJ
servations he made in his visit to
Thaw in August. He said he noticed a
peculiar facial expression, a glare of
the eye, an unnatural suspicion of
every one about. Witness said Thaw
had exaggerated ideas of his import
ance and believed himself victim Of
persecution that places him in the role
Of martyr.
1t is evident that Jerome is laying
plans to force Thaw's Incarceration in
an asylum if he is acquitted on the plea
of insanity.
Evans delivered 4 number of lectures
on exaggerated ego" and explosive
he observed in Thaw and
pompOusly that Thaw re-
fused to accede to his argument stuck
to an opinion he had before the doc
tor examined him and declared Thaw
was so insane as to try to tell the doc
tor how to conduct the examination.
Thaw couldn't restrain his laughter at
the testimony but grabbed a law book
and buried his face in it. The attor-
neys got into squabble lasting an
hour.
