lad
After First EvetTels the That She Writing
0 White Mother Would GneT Her Peace

New York Feb 21,-The climax of
sensationalism seemed to have been
reached in the Thaw trial today when
District Attorney Jerome continued to
lash Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in pitiless
cross examination.
No secret Of the woman's past was
too intimate for the district attorney
to make her lay it bare.
He made her admit with tears
streaming down her cheeks that her
relations with White continued for
several months after the first event,
when she claimed to have been
drugged.
Mrs. Thaw declared that in every
instance she had been piled with wine,
AS the district attorney laid bare her
relations with White. Mrs. Thaw wcpt
bitterly. Thaw sat with his face
buried in his hands. Two newspaper
women used to the varying scenes of
life left the court room. Jerome
wanted every detail
Mrs Thaw carefully told ALL A
genuine sensation was sprung shortly
after noon today when Attorney Hart
ridge, representing Harry Thaw, was
called to the stand by Jerome to learn
! why certain letters written by Stan
/ ford White to Evelyn Nesbit would
not be produced. Hartridge declined
to answer, and jerome argued that
Hartridge, in justice to Mrs. Thaw,
had no right to withhold the informa-
tion.
Mr.. Delmas said Mrs. Thaw had re-
tanned counsel because of the threats
against her He had heard the dis
trict attorney proposed to have her
| indicted Jerome said no such state
ment had been made
He did not deny the intent.
Mrs Thaw was asked why it was
lthat she suddenly became aware that
what White had done to her was
wrong.
She said it was because she had
been found out and that Thaws pro-
posal to her which was the first pro-
posal she had ever had struck her very
seriously.
She suddenly woke up" every
maidenly instinct in her had been out
ragged"
Jerome put it that is why she quar-
relied with White.
She said she did not begin to feel

Supreme Court of New York in De-
Gliding Case Establishes Important
Precedent as to Liabilities of Cor

Brooklyn. N. Y, Feb. 21.-Judge
Garretson in the supreme court has
decided a case in corporation law
which will establish a most important
precedent with reference to the duties
and liabilities of corporation man
ayers. The decision was in the case
of August Heckscher, a New York
capitalist, and was in favor of him
as against William Edenborn, presi-
dent of the Louisiana Railway and
Navigation Co. and one of the di-
rectors of the United States Steel Cor
poration, for $1S5,000, together with
five years interest amounting in all
to more than $230.O00. The suit was
decided upon the contention of the
plaintiff, which the court sustained,
that syndicate manager is bound to
disclose to his subscribers. to the very
hallest extent, every interest he could
have adverse to theirs, and that a
syndicate manager cannot sell or
transfer his property to the syndicate
unless he fully reveals to such sub
scribers his interest in the property.
Should he. however, put his property
in without disclosing his interest to
the subscribers then each subscriber
may recover from him the full amount
of his subscription

The Senate Passes
Two Cent Rate Bill
Amendments Offered to the Bill Were Turned Down
And the Bill Was Passed With Four
Against It.

Bismarck, Feb. 21.--House Bill No.
Is occupied the attention Of the SEN
ate Wednesday and after being peIted
with few more amendments was
passed and clinched. one of the
amendments was as TO the manner of
computing the fares under the bill and
another provided that the rate should
apply TO distances exceeding six
miles. thus excepting street car lines
not altogether in cities from the pro-
visions of the bill. Another amend
ment struck out the penalty clause of
the bill and substituted another, max
ing the matter OF punishment for vio-
lation of the law more definite in
terms. When the bill had been thus
amended 1t came up for final action ON
motion OF Senator Pierce. When it
was asked IL there were any further
amendments to be offered to the bill,
Senator LaMoure proposed that the
bill be amended by striking out the
2-cent provision and substituting a g.
cent provision.
Mr. Rice said he had had several
letters from friends of his asking him
to vote against the bill, as they feared
a 2-cent rate on branch lines would
mean riding in box cars--that 1t would
mean 2-cent service.
Mr.. Crane said he would vote with
Senator LaMoure against the bill. The
majority Of the senate committee had
reported In favor of 25z cent rate,
with provision for mileage books at
2 cents mile. He agreed that d 2-
cent rate would mean business at a
loss and he did not think the courts
OF the state would sustain 1t. TO a

question of Senator Macarthur as to
whether he had any information that
would show that a 2-cent rate would
mean a loss to the companies, he said
that none of the senator's could have
much technical information on the
subject, but he did know that 1t had
been decided that 2-cent rate could
not be practically enforced in Wis
consin and Minnesota, and if 1t was
not profitable i'm those states it cer-
tainly would not be in North Dakota,
which was more thinly settled and
where business was done at a greater
expense.
Senator Pierce said he stated his po-
sition In the matter on the previous
day. The majority Of the railroad
committee favored the mileage book
proposition, that 1t was said would be
practically a 2-cent rate. IL this was
the case, he favored flat 2-cent rate

Senator Regan suggested that the
amendment favored by the majority
of the railroad committee, changing
the rate to 2h cents a mile and pro-
yiding for the issue OF mileage books
at cents, be adopted. Senator
Pierce made the point of order that
this was the majority report defeated
on the previous day. but the chair held
the point of order not well taken. Both

her realize what had happened.
"-fhat aroused hostility against
White?'
THAT and other things"
what other things?" was the ques-
tion of Jerome.
Things with White" replied Mrs.
Thaw.
She was asked why she wrote that
letter to White. and said in a rigid
voice: Because my mother would
give me no peace until ] did it,"
"She said she was coerced into writ
ing as her mother said she was un-
grateful to White and things like that.
She admitted that she continued
her relations with White AS she told
this she broke down. Then she told
of man who had seen her undressed
, in Whites bedroom, and his name was
given in a whisper to Jerome, Delmas
and the jury.
Mrs. Thaw said she continued to
! believe all women were unchaste until
/ after her talk with Thaw.
She did not believe that meretricious
relation between men and women were
particularly wrong. She merely
thought it indellcate and vulgar. She
did not realize it fully until she went
ito Paris.

experience with Stanford White; re-
lation with him continued for a time.
She said the relations were continued
against her will. She cried bitterly as

New Washington, Feb. 21.-The re-
port that the League Island navy yard
along with those at Portsmouth, N Fl.
Washington, Charleston and New Or
leans, were to be abandoned Is entirely
without foundation. On the contrary
the hands Of the navy department to-
day announced that they would be
thoroughly equipped and made the
greatest bases for repairing. 1t is con-
ceded that League Island offers facili-
ties obtainable at no other yard in the
country and is practically immune
from any foreign attack. Coupled with
these facts must be considered the
enormous expenditure already made
there in the way Of machinery and dry
docking works which would in them
self preclude any idea of abandonment.
