BAIlEY'S OPINION
 GIVEN THt STANDARD
Says He Threatened Confiscation of Property and Jail for the Opera tors.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 20.-"I gave them written opinion in which stat ed if they attempted to do business in this state they would be put in prison and their property absorbed in fines and penalties" This is the answer Senator Bailey says he gave the Stan dard oil officials when they asked him about the chances for re-entering Tex as. MT. Bailey made this statement today before the legislative investiga- tion commission in respect Of his re- lations with the Standard and Wa ters-Pierce Oil companies. The re- quest for an opinion came said Bail ey. immediately after the Beaumont oil boom.
 Bailey told an interesting story of his adventure in the financial deal and firmly maintained that all his acts and deeds had been honorable and above reproach. He declared there was not a shadow of truth in the charge that he had accepted money for political services rendered the Waters Pierce oil company. He declared that his ef- forts in favor of his clients were sim ply duty His attendance upon the sessions of congress were as regular. he said. as any other member. IL was impossible for a lawyer who was a member of congress 10 engage in gen eral practice, because of the conflict ing sessions of court and congress.

VICTORIOUS
 MIR. SHOOT
Permitted to Retain His
 Seat In the Senate
Actual Standing On the Is- sue Was 51 to 37 But the Vote Recorded 42 to 2S.

Washington. D. C., February 20.- Senator Reed Shoot retains his seat in the United States senate. This was decided today by a vote of 42 to 2S, ending the long contest. Eighteen senators paired, making the actual standing on the resolution 51 for and 37 aginst. Shoot did not vote. The Shoot resolution was called soon after the senate convened. Every seat in the gallery was filled during the ses- sion and standing room on the floor was crowded by the members of the house and employees of the senate.
 There had been numerous speeches for and against Smoot since the res olution to unseat him was reported from the committee. just prior to the adjournment of congress last year. Today Senators Dubois. Hansbrough. Newlands and Burrows. the latter chairman of the committee. spoke against Shoot. while Beveridge, Dolli- yer and FOrakcr spoke for him.
 When the voting began. SmoOt re- tired to the republican cloak room to await the result Hopkins offered an amendment to the committee resolu- ton. which was adopted. Under this a two-thirds vote would be necessary to carry the resolution. which declar- ed that Shoot vas not entitled to his seat Carmack then offered as a sub stitute a simple resolution declaring that Shoot should be expelled It was defeated.
 Then came the vote on the com mittee resolution as amended which was as follows: Resolved. two-thirds of the senators present concurring. that Reed Shoot is not entitled to a seat as senator of the United States from the state of Utah"
 Although it was a foregonc conclu- sion that the resolution would fail and thus end the long fight against the Utah senator, a roll call contained some surprises. of the 42 votes in fa- vor of SmoOt, three were cast by dem Ocrats. Of the 2S votes against him nine were republicans.
 At the conclusion of the voting there wss a--rush Of senators to the cloak room to congratulate Mir Shoot. A large number or the members of the house followed. The senior Utah senator was patted on the back and his hands shaken in hearty fashion by men who expressed admiration for his bearing in the long trying ordeal through which he had passed. On the

WHY DISTRICT ATTORNEY

Asks Pointed Questions of Mrs. Thdw
 Whose Memory is Bad
Effort of Defendants Counsel Help Witness Testify is SarcasticaIIy SilencedWitness SelfPOs- sessed and Delmas Quiescent.

New York, Feb. 2O-m continuing the cross exarlination of Mrs. Thaw today at the trial of her husband, Je- rome brought out the fact that in 1902 Stanford White deposited S1,35O with the New York Trust company with in structions that it should be paid to Evelyn Nesbit at the rate of S25 per week Mrs. Thaw frankly admitted receiving number of checks from the trust company but would not admit that there was a provision that she should receive money only when out of employment. The prosecutor spent nearly the entire afternoon trying to make Mrs. Thaw admit this was true but she gave only one answer: q don't remember
 Mrs Thaws inability to remember a number of other things about which Jerome questioned Ter was by far the most material element in the cross examination. The district attorney deived into her past life with a ia miliarity which at times seemed to amaze all who heard. not excepting the defendants counsel. Jerome indi- cated early that he had no disposition 10 spare Mrs. Thaw's feelings in any way. He interrogated her most point ediy as to men acquaintanccs of the past He laid special stress upon her acquaintance with James 4. Garland, who figured for the first time in the case. Mrs. Tbaw said she knew Gar land before she met White.
 Weren't you named as correspond ent in the Garland divorce case?" ask ed Jerome Mrs. ThaW was shaking her head when Delmas quickly objected. He demanded that the record of the divorce case be brought into court that it might speak for itself. Justice Fitz-

THE NAVAL BILL.

The only amendments adopted in the naval appropriation bill added $25O,0OO to the item for coal transportation and s13O, 900 for a powder plant at the Nor folk navy yard.
 Senator Culberson noticed that the senate committee had doubled the amount for coal as stated. Asked If these items had reference to the gath ering of large fleets as the president was in the habit of doing or to the forthcoming exposition at Jamestown. Mir. Hale replied that the expenses of the navy in time of peace for ammuni- ton were large. He did not believe any considerable amount of the fund would be used on account of the Jamestown exposition, although he said that exposition seemed to be de- vcloping into more of a military show than anything else.
 MT. Stone said he had ascertained that the annual consumption of pow der by the army and navy was about 5000. 900 pounds. that it cost the gov ernment 75 cents a pound, and that the government could manufacture this powder for about half that amount.

gerald overruled the objection, but Jerome withdrew the question. Jerome questioned the witness about her man. ner Of posing for artists and brought from her denial that she had ever posed in the nude. Jerome did not mince words. Many photographs of Mrs. Thaw were introduced in evil dence. Jerome during the morning session piled the young woman with questions as to what disposition she had made of letters written her by White. Some she said, had been de- strOyed and some she had given to her husband. When the district attorney was pressing her for an answer Thaw leaned far over and whispered tC counsel: Stanford White stole them.
 Attorney O'Reilly thereupon said: stanford White got them If coun- sel desires to testify We will be very glad to have him do it." Jerome re- marked sarcastically. Later Jerome indicated he had in his possession a number of letters written by White to Evelyn Nesbit, saying he would show her the letters to see if they would not brighten her memory. He changed his mind, however, and the letters were not produced.
 Jerome was assisted materially in the crQss examination by typewriter statements made by Mrs. Thaw' s mother and Howard Nesbit. her broth CT. JerOme's cross examination may require several days yet. He appar- ently intends to take every advantage of the ruling which allows wide lati- tude in testing the credibility of the witness. Delmas. contrary to eXpec- tations, interpOsed few objections Mrs. Thaw seemed perfectly self possessed at every stage of the cross examina- ton. At times her voice trembled but it was almost always clear and em-

JEW OR CHRISTIAN
 LIFE OR DEATH
The Question That Must Be Answered
 Daily By Pedestrians in Odessa.

odessa. Feb. 20-Street attacks by the Union of True Russians. a reac- tionary organization. are daily assum- ing more dangerous character and have brought about a condition of ex- treme nervousness among the residents of the city. especially Jews. Business has been adversely affected. the grain bourse has been closed and financial transactions have been suspended. Gangs of roughs invade the shops and restaurants belonging to Jews and or der proprietOrs to throw up their hands then plunder and ransack the premises. Today Jew drew revolver in self defense. He was immediately seized and conveyed to a deserted court yard where his arms and legs were cut off. Pedestrians are stopped in broad day light and asked whether they are Jews or Christians, sometimes the are made to produce passports. If they are Jews they are brutally beaten. The police make no effort whatever to suppress anti-semitic disorders and fill the role of mere onlookers. Local educational institutions and commercial interests have repeatedly made requests to Pre- mier Stolypin for official intervention but have received nothing more than cvasive unsatisfactory assurances that the cases referred to would be investi- gated.

A MINING MEETING.

An important joint meeting of the mining committees of the two houses will be held in the assembly chamber this morning at o'clock It will be addressed by Governor Kibbey and others interested in the pending legis- lation. The Doran and the Weedin bills will be mainly under discussion though it Is possible that the consider atiOn will extend beyond them.
 Since the announcement yesterday of this meeting there has been some apprehension concerning the character of it. IL has been supposed that since it was to be held in the chamber and not in a committee room that it is to be open to the public but it Is an nounced by members of the two com mittees that the public will be ad- mitted to neither the floor nor the gall leries.
 In the council yesterday afternoon substitute for council bill No. 45. Pres ident Dorans bill was offered by the committee whose report was adopted and the bill held for further consider ation. The bill differs from the orig inal mainly in that it contains an ex- press provision continuing the An drews law in effect It had not been generally supposed that the original bill disturbed that law but the ques- tiOn having been raised it was decid- ed by the committee to make the bill explicit. There are some other minor changes with reference to Unpatented and non producing mines as well as the curing of certain defects alleged to have existed in the original bill
 THE SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.
 IL was brought out in the house yes terday morning that it makes diff ference whose OK is gOTed. The bill increasing the salaries of probate judges was under consideration It proposes to increase the salary of the probate judge of the county of the first class having an assessed valuation If Ss,OOO,O 900 from s2.OOO to S25OO. Inter est vast lent the discussion by a com munication from the probate judge of Yavapai county. C. P. Hicks who is now receiving $120o. protesting against action which might give him S2501 His county has been below SS.000,00O valuation but he fears that it will pass that mark and he wants something done to hold his salary down to it's present modest proportions because he says the work is not worth more than that. He is ex-Officio clerk of his court and can do all the work and have plenty of time to play. Judge Hicks now receives the fees from that of flee in addition to the s120O. salary and it was suggested that he was moved rather by the prospect of losing those fees than by fear of being em- barrassed with a doubling of his sal ary.

HALF SESSION ENDED
 LITTLE FINISHED WORK
A Longer Step Taken Yesterday In the Di-
 reCtiOn of Prison Location
Meeting of the Joint Committees On Mining This Morning for General Discussion of the Question of Revenue Raising.

The bitterest enemy of the twenty fsurth legislature. cannot accuse 1t of wild and reckless legislation. Though one day more than half of the session has expired; though ninety-nine bills have been brought into the house and eighty-one into the council. only two have reached the governor. One of them provided only for an appropria- ton of s3S0 for postage and newspa- per wrappers wherewith to inform constituents of what might be going on. Judging from what has actually gone on. comparatively little of that appropriation has so far been used.
 There has been no attempt to smoth- CT bills for that could not be done un- der the rules. Nor is it charged that there has been any waste of time In fact no complaint has come from re- liable sources of the deIiberatencss with which the legislature has so far moved.
 PRISON LEGISLATION.
 Unexpected headway was made yes terday in the matter of the shifting about of the prison, if it is to be shift ed about at all. The council substi- ute bill for the creation of a commis- sion to select a site for the prison and the reform school. passed by the council day before yesterday was sent to the house yesterday morning. It was supposed that there would be some Op- position to concurrence in it, not that the principle of the measure had been altered but it had been rumored that the few opponents of the bill in the house would make use of the change in the number of commissioners as a preteXt for delay. But when the sub stitute was called up in regular order within an hour after it was brought in a motion to concur met with no oppO- sitiOn whatever.
 Two bills were presented. one in each house intended to do away with the necessity of a commission so far as the prison is concerned. The council bill was offered by MT. Weedin and the house bill by MT. Guild.
 It is provided by them that the ter ritOrial prison shall be located at or near Florence on 1S0 acres of land to be given to the territory in fee simple and without reserve. There ac- companies the gift a water right and moreover in anticipation of favorable action on the bill. MT. Weedin has al- ready located for the benefit of the territory a twenty acre tract or quarry of tufa with which to build the prison and on which the prisoners can after ward be profitably employed.
 The bill arranges for the setting aside out of the territorial treasury $5O,OOO for prison building fund and further contemplates tax levy of ten cents on each S1OO of valuation. A large block of tufa was placed on ex- hibition in the council chamber as a sample of the, excellence of the build- ing rock
