The committees found that the
greatest hindrance to rapid progress
on the canal AT the present time is
lack OF adequate dumping facilities.
This Is said to be due 10 shortage OF
cars for the transportation of refuse
from the steam shovel plant. which as
result. is worked at only about 30
per cent. of its capacity. The com.

BROTHER R-IN-LAW
Of Stanford White Is Allowed to Tell
Of a Talk with Thaw lust Be-
fore The Murder Of White.

New York, March 13.--Tte end OF
J the Thaw trial at last seems to be In
sight and the II men who have been i'm
the jury box for nearly eight weeks
are to be Harry Thaws judges. Tenta-
tive plans for the final stages Of the
trial were agreed upon Tuesday by op.
posing counsel. even TO the detail OF
allotting the time for the summing
up. District Attorney Jerome has at
last burned behind him all bridges
leading TO a lunacy commission and
has irrevocably pointed his course to
proving that Thaw was sane the night
he killed Stanford White. and that be.
ing sane his crime constituted murder
in the first degree. Within ten days or
two weeks the case should be in the
jury's hands.
Mr.. Jerome on Tuesday played prob
ably the strongest card he holds--evi-
dence which came to his knowledge
but few days ago and which un-
doubtedly caused him to abandon the
idea of sending Whites slayer TO
madhouse and 10 Try for q straight out
conviction under the criminal statutes.
The evidence came from Mrs. Stan
ford Whites brother, james Clinch
Smith, who told a remarkably clear.
succinct story Of the events on Madi-
son Square Garden the night White
was killed. and OF a long conversation
he had with Thaw Just prior to the
shooting M
1t seems that Thaw sat for some
time with Smith during the first per.
(.,,,
and discussed with him IA variety OF
topics in a manner, Mr.. Smith declar-
ed, such as any sane man would talk.
Mr.. Smith gave the conversation In de-
tail, omitting nothing.
With the brother-in.law of the man
who was soon 10 be victim OF his
pistol, Thaw discussed the play, Wall
street. common acquaintances, plans
for the summer and many other things
including 'buxom brunette" whom
Thaw declared. he was anxious to have
Smith meet. Thaw said he and his
wife were going abroad later In the
summer. There was no hint anywhere
In the repeated conversation OF
Thaw's intent to inhict bodily harm
upon anyone. Mr.. Smith did say, how
ever, thdt iudW, HOl HuNiHB u TtSeFV'
ed seat, roamed about the garden and
continually looked in the direction OF
the spot where he subsequently killed
Stanford White.
Attorney Delmas. for the defense
bitterly fought the introduction OF this
testimony for nearly two hours. He
declared that Mr.. Smith was properly
a witness I'm chief and should not be
allowed to testify in rebuttal. Mr..
Jerome replied that he had known
only for few days the real value of
Mr.. Smiths testimony-the converse.
