The Police Jury OF Lafay ettt
Wednesday ordered special cleo
ton for the Fourth and Fifth
Wards Sept. 80 to ascertain the
wishes OF the qualified voters on
the question of 5-mlll tax for
ten years in aid OF the Abbeville
and ST. Martin Road, a part OF
the "EvangeIlne' system. Ihls
road is to connect with the ex-
tentIon OF the Texas * Pacific
from New Iberia to Port Barre
and will tap enc of the richest
rice and sugar sections of the
State.
At AbbevilIc the City Coun-
Gil. in response to largely sign
ed petition of the property tax
payers, has ordered a special
election to be held on Monday,
Sept. 80, to take the sense OF
the qualified electors on the
proposition to levy tax of five
mills on the dollar in aid of the
New Iberia, St. Martinvile &
Northern Railroad for a period
of ten years, beginning with the
year 1909, producing in the ag-
gregate $4,000. 1t is express
ly stipulated that the road shall
be in operation from AbbevilIe
to connection with the Colo
RADIO Southern and the Texas &
Pacific railroads at Port Barre
by June I, 1909. Rights of
way are being secured and there
is every indication that the tax
will carry.

also interested in a movement
to build a line to Eunice.

Foxboro Hearing Ends With a Ora

Boston, Feb. 1.-THE Foxboro hearing
closed yesterday with a sensational ex-
ANIMATION of Chairman Fosdick Of the
board OF Foxboro trustees, who told
the Governors Council of how the Fos-
DICK engine was purchased by the board
OF trustees from the company in which
he was interested. II didn't intend any
other engine should be put in said
Mr.. Fosdick,
Il am the president Of the company
and own one-quarter of the stock. The
engine was selected by n committee of
Waich trustee Brown and Mr.. Huey
and myself were members.
Il put in the bid myself and then
took eff 20 per cent. because 1 didn't
intend that any other engine should be
put in. If there was to have been an
other engine 1 would have resigned
from the board of trustees first. I had
no idea Of violating any law until I
read about it in the paper. but if / mad
known 1t / would have resigned from
the board and then put in my bid.
Il asked my associates about it and
| they said that the General Electric Co.
which put in the general bid for Sener-
ator, engine winding. etc, would stand
for the contract. I didn't intend to serve
the state as chairman of the board OF
trustees for nothing, and then have
some other man put in his engine and
thus give the advertising to some COM
, petitor made the price what 1 be.
lievcd ould be the lowest for that rea-
son."
Councillor Bartlett-Do you think
that they would have taken the Fosdick
engine If you hadn't been on the board.
Chairman Fosdick-They would have
been lunatics if they had not.
| Robert A. Wood of the Civic League
and Secretary Spaulding of the Prison
Association urged that Foxboro should
not be abandoned. but that objection
able inmates should be sent elsewhere

REMOVAL PROBABLE.

Albany. y. y. Feb. 17.-That Gov.
Hughes will send to the Senate proba-
bly, on Tuesday morning special mes
sage recommending the removal from
office of State Superintendent Otto kel-
sey is now confidently expected. Supt
Kelsey's letter. giving his reasons for
declining to comply with the governor
request for his resignation, ended spec
u'ation on the subject and while Gov.
Hughes will say nothing as to his next
step. there is little attempt to conceai
his intention to bring the matter 70
an issue within a day or wo.
Tho attitude of the Senatae toward
the governors expected recommenda'
ton is the subject of conjectures Tine
chief feature of uncertainty is in the
question Of the attitude of the 10 DEM
ocratic senators. A conflict between
the Senate and the Executive would oe
fraught with far reaching Legislative
and political consequences.

Among Counsel For Har-

Alleged Interview by DeImas'

Or. Evans Will Again Take Stand
at Today's Hearing.

New York, Feb. Histories as to

tinued to circulate today, but until the
trial is resumed in court tomorrow

auently cropped up during the past
few days, and We're as often denied.
There is no doubt. however, that there
has been serious disagreement OF some
sort and that AIr. Delmas has found
some fault with the alleged actions of
some Of his associate counsel.
The trouble, according to a story cur
rent today, arose over the publication
of an alleged interview with Attorney
McPike. partner of Mr. Delmas. in
which Mr. McPike was quoted as criti-

ously denied the alleged interview. In
this denial he is said to have been sup
ported by his partner. Mr. Delmas.
On Saturday there was fVe-hour
conference Of counsel for Thaw at Nj.
Delmas' office. and at this meeting, 1t
is said, Mr.. Delmas took occasion to
criticize very severely the lack of sup
port upon the part of his associates.
He declared. it is said, that they had
done everything to discredit him and
to make him appear ridiculous and
that. although he had apparently been
Iii charge of the case in court since the
second day of the trial, he had in fact.
been nothing of the sort. AS an illus
tration Of this alleged desire to confuse
him, he declared he knew nothing of
Ihaw's will and letters until they were
handed to him as he was questioning a
witness in court
DR.. BrittOn D. Evans is expected to
resume the stand tomorrow morning
and will be followed by DIR. Charles G..
wagner. Both will also testify as to
conversations with the defendant. An
other attempt will be made to intro
duce the famous will and it will prob
ably he admitted. Then it is proposed
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw go on the
stand for the purpose Of testifying to
various conversations with her hus-
band regarding other persons who
Thaw believed to have suffered at
Whites hands. This testimony was
ruled out last week on the ground that
it was cumulative evidence and no. ad-
missable until a prima facie case of
unsoundness of mind had been estab-
lished.
The doctors it is argued. have proved
this and Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's further
story will probably go in without objec-
tions. Mrs. Thaw. Harry Thaw's moth
er, will then take the stand. and tes-
tify as to her family and Of Harry's
early life. What else the defence will Of

TRAlNMEN'S HOURS.
House Committee Decides That II
Hours Is the Limit.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce decided Saturday to make favor
able report on a bill limiting the time
of consecutive employment Of trainmen
to Is hours.
In the main the bill agreed upon is the
same as the measure introduced by Rep
resentative Esch of Wisconsin. but it will
be reported as substitute for the La
Toilette 16-hour bill, which has already
passed the Senate, and thus the consid-
Grafton Of the measure again on the floor
of the Senate will be avoided, as it will
go to conference.
In addition to limiting the hours of la
Dor for trainmen, the bill also contains
an amendment by Representative Wag-
ner which extends the measure in mod
flied form to operators and train dis
patchers. It provides that operators shall
rot work more than nine consecutive
hours in stations or towers which are
kept open day and night, and the time
fer their employment in day stations is
limited to Is hours.
The vote on the bill was strictly par
ty one, the Democrats on the committed
insisting on the LaFollette bill withou;
any change, and the Republicans all vot-
ing for the Esch measure in its amended
form.
1t Us provided that common carriers OF
their officers or agents who knowingly
require or permit employees to violate the
measure are liable to a fine of $500 for
each offence, the suits to be brought by
TIL. United States district attorney in
the district court having jurisdiction over
the locality where the violation took
place.

Accusedof Trying
To Wreck Train.

Binghamton. y. Y, Feb. Ill D. Har-
rington of Sidney was arrested yesterday
after being indicted on the charge of at
tempting to wreck ar Ontario & West
ern passenger train on the night Of
March 9, 1906.
The Indictment and arrest followed a
sworn statement made by Mrs. Harry
Cotton. who testified that she and Har-
rtngton had planned the wreck so thae
he could rob the passengers who would
be killed and injured. and thereby OBJ
tain money so that he and Mrs. Cotton
could elope to the West.
The next day after the attempted
wreck Harrington came to the two de-
tectives who were working upon the case
for the railroad company. she said, and
told them that he bad evidence that
Harry Cotton was the man who placed
the obstruction on the track, and thac
if they would see Mrs. Cotton she would
suhstantiate his statement and furnish
sufficient evidence to convict Cotton of
the crime. When the detectives saw Mrs.
Cotton she would give them no informa-
ton. The case was dropped and it was
thought that it would be impossible to
ever obtain any evidence against the
man until Mrs. Cotton was arrested las.
fall on complaint of Arthur Waters. who,
on information furnished by Harrington.
accused her of writing white Cap" let
ters to Waters, threatening him with
vengeance unless he left the country.
Mrs. Cotton pleaded not guilty. although,
Harrington identified the white Cap
letter as her writing. On the day set for
the trial Waters did not appear and the
woman was discharged.
Che then made sworn statement in
which she said Harrington, who was Ia
mliar with her writing. wrote tho
"Wiite Cap" letter. She admitted that
she wanted to get rid Of her husband
and leave the country with Harrington.
Size said Harrington finally planned the
crime, to which she agreed. whereby he
was to wreck the passenger train, rob
the victims, and they together were to
swear that Cotton was guilty of the
crime, and after he was convicted they
could go West together.
The woman's statements were investi-
gated by the officials and so much SUBJ
stantial evidence was obi ned that Mon

DREADED TO EAT
A Quaker Couples Experience.

HOY many persons dread to eat their
meals, although actually hungry nearly
all the time!
Nature never intended this should be
so, for we are given thing called
appetite that should guide US as to
what the system needs at any time and
can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense OF appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted
Then we eat the wrong kind Of food OF
eat too much. and there you are
indigestion and it's accompanying
miseries.

THE POSTAL BILL.
Largest Appropriation Ever Asked
More Pay for Clerks and Carriers.

Washington. Feb lin the House
Saturday Overstreet explained that the
postal bill carries the largest appro-
priation ever brought into the House,
sos. 416, 6O2, and he explained that the
increase had been made necessary by
the increased compensation for clerks
and carriers.
Overstreet said the committee had
concluded that a reduction in the rail-
way mail pay was absolutely neces-
Sary. He called attention to the fact
that members of Congress were being
swamped by kilograms from railroads
asking that the reduction be defeated
and he said the railroads were raising
"a howl because they were rot permitted
to be heard before the com1TNtee.
Now remarked OveDetrest. the
railroads are trying to stampede the
House. yet there is not a scintilla 81
evidence to show that the reduction is
excessive"
Sibley of Pennsylvania estimated
that the reduction would amount to
81 per cent, which he thought was toe
heavy, without a more thorough inves-
tigation Debate on the bill was not
concluded.
McNary will offer an amendment &c
the postoflice bill providing for a max
imum salary of 1920 for letter car
riers. The maximum in the bill is
s11O0.
The House passed bill amending
| the postal laws so as to provide fol
the special delivery of letters carrying
10 cents worth of ordinary postage in
stead Of requiring as now specia
stamps.
