ing to the illness of the wife of Jur-
or Joseph Bolton, who asked permis-
sion to visit his home in the company

minutes later the court announced a
recess would be taken in the case I'M
til o'clock in the afternoon.
Had Long Chat With Wife.
Thaw remained in the prisoners pen
this morning where he had long
chat with his wife Counsel for the
defense said this morning that 1t was
the intention of the defense to have
DR.. Evans take the stand in the after
noon for cross-examination He will
be followed by Mrs. Thaw, who, in
view of broader foundation" of the
prisoners insanity as laid down by
experts, will be asked to conclude her
story.
Jerome had objected to her doing
50 ON the ground that what she had
to say was permissible only after the
defendant was shown by competent
testimony to have been of unsound
mind.
Mrs. ThaW to Again Testify.
The continuance of the trial was
agreed upon after Attorney Delmas
informed the court that he would re-
quire only about twenty minutes to
complete the direct examination of
DR.. Evans. This was done so that
in the event an adjournment for a day
or two the case may be re-opened with
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw ON the

NINETEEN OUT
OF III SURVIVED
Bodies 81 Victims
Larchmont Disas-
ter Recovered
CREW BEHAVED BRAVELY
Did All They Could to Save
Passengers When Vessel
Was Sinking.

Block Island, R. l., Feb. 13.-The re-
covery of the bodies of the victims OF
Monday nights disaster in Long Island
Sound caused by the sinking of the
steamer Larehmont in collision with
the schooner Harry Knowlton, pro
ceeded slowly and with great difficulty
during last night and today.
Fifty-One Bodies Recovered.
Up to 10 O'Clock today fifty-one bod
les had been recovered by the coast
patrols and vessels sent to scour the
sound. OF these but eleven have so
far been identified The total number
known to have been on the Inflated
vessel was 127.
Only Nineteen Survived.
The list of survivors still stands at
nineteen today, OF whom ten were
members Of the crew, including Cap.
tain McVey, while nine were passen.
gers. OF the ninety-seven missing,
eleven were members of the crew.
Condition Survivors Ptable.
The condition of the survivors is
pitiable. Two physicians are con-
stantly attending them and doing
everything they can to alleviate their
suffering and they express the opinion
that none will succumb, although the
condition of several is regarded as
grave Even should they survive they
will be crippled for life, as the ampu-
tation of limbs and hands has been
necessary owing to their having been
frozen.
Crew Behaved BraveIy.
Nearly all Of the surviving passen.
gers interviewed by the Associated
Press agree that the officers and men,
bers of the crew of the sinking vessel
behaved well and did everything in
their power to save the lives of the
persons on board, but the ship sank
within ten minutes which gave them
little time to man the lifeboats.
Carried Eight Life-Boats.
The Larchmont carried eight life
boats and four life-rafts. So far five
OF these boats have been accounted
for and one raft and it Is not thought
that any of the occupants of the miss
ing boats have survived the fearful
cold which moderated but slightly dur
Ing the night.

COUNCIL WORKS
ON TAX BILL
In Committee of the Whole-Consid-
cred by Sections and Number q
Changes Made.

When the Council finishes Ats work
on Council bill number 33 introduced
by Mr. Duncan and which provides for
the assessment and collection OF taxes,
It will be practically equivalent to the
passage of the measure . Yesterday
afternoon Immediately after conven-
ing the Council went into a committee
Of the whole with Mr.. Miera as chair
man and resumed work on this bill.
It was thought in several instances
the provisions were too strict while
they were made little more rigid In
other instances. There was also some
argument as to the correctness of the
English used in some cases. Among
the provisions of the bill, is one max
ng all widows, whether having chill
dren or persons dependent upon them
Or not, the same as heads of families
and entitled to exemption in conform
lty with the provisions so made.
Section II of the printed bill has
been changed to provide that owners
of sheep shall pay taxes in the county
i'll which they reside and not in the
county where the sheep may be on
range. This, Of course, applies only
when the owner of the sheep is res
ident of New Mexico.
Section 13 of the printed bill rela-
tive to a penalty for false return on
property and the liability of a person
making such return to prosecution
for perjury was stricken out upon mo-
tion Of President Spiess as the matter
is fully covered In another section of
the same bill.
The bill provides that where tle
owner Of property is not known. the
property shall be listed and assessed
against an unknown owner.
Section % of the printed bill rela'
tive to fine or Imprisonment in the
case of an assessor who accepts an
statement of property and
values was stricken from the bill as
being too severe and as being pro-
vided for in another section of the
bill.
Sections rs and 26 Of the printed
bill relative to the duties Of the as
SCISSOR in regard to property taxation,
were stricken out as being impractic-
able.
After having considered the bill to
section 20, the committee Of the whole
arose, president Spiess convened the
Council and Mr.. Miera, chairman Of
the committee, reported progress on
Council bill number 49, The bill was
further considered today.

the Legislature cooperate, the out

The Price Slide.

There has been more or less news
paper comment recently regarding the
downward slide in prices of food pro-
ducts, which has long been claimed
to be due, but of which there are no
visible signs yet in sight, just the
contrary apparently being the case.
In the middle west, the center OF
our table supplies, there is said to
be strong feeling that "the present
disturbed financial condition may bring
in its wake general and substan-
tial reduction in the cost of living.
This expectation is reported to be
shared by ''jobbers, wholesalers and
retailers of meats, eggs and other
products
No doubt the feeling is entertained
rather reluctantly. The tendency in
late years has been to push prices UP
all along the line, and once up, ii
takes some mighty unheaval like that
experienced lately in Wall street to
start them down.
A price-slide is due beyond ques-
ton. There are already movements
downward here and there. The cas-.
| ing up would be immediate were i
not for the policy of keeping the thumb
screws on the consumers until tn,
very last minute. When wholesale
prices go up in Chicago or Omaha thu
eastern rtailer doesn't wait for Off
cial confirmation in the newspaper. vi
go his prices, too. But when drol
is announced, telephone and telegraph
are of no avail; the mails are too fast
doubt fills the soul of the pruden
merchant; he must have circular no
tice, or a personal call from the pro
Queer before he can act.
Being on their way from the ives
low prices would naturally be subjec
to delay before reaching here.

some place to tie their horses. Facil-
tiles on the side streets are wholly
inadequate and unsatisfactory, and
an order to remove the teams to the
side streets will meet with great OPP
position, both from the residents OF
those thoroughfares and the owners
of the teams.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
only equitable solution of the prob
lem would be the establishment of
a hitching yard-a place near enough
to the business center to be conve-
nient, yet far enough removed to
avoid confusion. Above all, it must
be a place where ladies may drive
with as much freedom and safety as
they would upon Queen street.
If the street committee can solve
this problem, the members will be
regarded as having done that which
entities them to the thanks of the
entire community.
Evening journal. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1907-1913, 1907-11-08

The street committee of the city
council had been instructed by that
body to take up the question of hit
ching horses on Queen street, the
main thoroughfare of the city, and
the members OF that committee will
be compelled to exercise the wisdom
of a Solomon to arrive at a conclu-
sion that will satisfy all parties. In
no other city the size and Importance
of Martinsburg within a radius of
hundreds of miles is the practice of
hitching horses on the main street toll
Grated, and the condition that OBJ
tains here is not found anywhere else
in this section OF the country. But
those cities which prohibit the hitch
ing of horses on their main streets
have provided some suitable and con
venient place where the farmers and
others may put their teams while
transacting business.
The Evening Journal is frankly
against the practice of allowing ami
mails to stand for hours on the main
