New York, Feb. 2c-In continuing
his cross-examination OF Mrs. Evelyn

bit girl at the rate Of $25 a week. Mrs.
Thaw frankly admitted receiving
checks from the trust company, but
she would not admit that there was a
provision that she should receive the
money only when out Of employment.
The prosecutor spent nearly the entire
afternoon in trying to make Mrs.
Thaw admit that this was true. but as
often and in as many ways as he put
the question to her, she gave the one
answer: Il don't remember"
Her Feelings Not Spared.
Mr. Jerome indicated early that he
had no disposition to spare Mrs.
Thaw's feelings. He Intercepted her
pointedly as to her men acquaintance

upon her acquaintanceship with James

time in the case. Mrs. Thaw said she
knew Garland before she met White.

Mrs. Thaw was shaking her head
when Mr.. Delmas sprang to his feet
with an objection. Justice Fitzgerald
overruled the objection, but Mr.. Je'
rome withdrew the question.
Never Posed In Nude.
Mr.. Jerome questioned the witness
about her manner Of posing for artists
and brought from her a denial that she
ever posed in the nude. Many proto
graphs of Mrs. Thaw were introduced
in evidence. Mr.. Jerome piled the
young woman with questions as to
what disposition she had made Of the
letters written to her by Stanford
White. Some, she said, had been de
stroyed and some she had given to
her husband. Mr.. Jerome was assisted
materially in his cross.examination by

The WIDE TIRE ORDINANCE.

Many months ago, after the compile
ton of the Brigham street and some
other asphalt paving. an ordinance re-
curing the introduction Of wide tires
on traffic wagons was introduced ia the
council For a time the prospect for
its passage seemed excellent. No valid
objection to the ordinance was offered.
Plenty OF time was allowed for the
change in order to work no hardship
upon anyone. Suddenly, for some rea-
son that has never been made appar-
ent, the ordinance was put to sleep in
committee. No explanation OF the ac-
ton was offered at the time nor has
any explanation been offered since.
Meanwhile the asphalt pavements are
rapidly wearing out Drivers of
heavily loaded wagons make for them
at the first opportunity and continue
along them as far as possible. For this
we cannot blame the drivers. They
can make better time with much less
possibility of overstraining their herses
on the asphalt than on the unpaved
streets But their narrow tires are cut
ting the asphalt TO ribbons. Take the
Brigham street paving as an example
About two years have passed since
the work on Brigham street was fin
ished. 1t looks as if it had been down
I'VE years or ten. On both sides of the
street railway tracks ruts have APP
peared. Holes are showing on every
block. It is true that a large part of
the damage TO Brigham street was
caused by the criminal carelessness of
somebody in running a trench digger
attached to a heavy traction engine
along it. People familiar with the cost
OF asphalt paving say that the damage
done in this way could not be repaired
for less than $4,000 to $4,000.
But Brigham street has been cut by
the narrow tires. Any day heavy traf-
fic wagons of every type may be seen
upon it. Along Brigham street coal and
stone. van LOADS of household goods are
almost hourly hauled. And to see those
tires bits into the asphalt causes the
observer a feeling that amounts almost
to physical pain. II there were any
necessity for 1t, If the rights OF any cit
izen were placed in jeopardy by a re-
fusal to permit the narrow tires on the
asphalt it would be possible to bear the
system without impatienee.
There exists. however, no necessity
for the narrow tire. The failure to
pass the ordinance at the time OF its
introduction is sure to cost the city
many thousands ef dollars in repairs.
Unless it is passed very soon the cost
will run into thousands more. The

THE RloT AND THE POLICE.

For the first time in its history. Salt
Lake yesterday had q taste of mob rule
without any attempt by the police
force to protect either life or property.
In one case, and only one case. Gid a
policeman attempt TO do his duty; and
to that officers credit. be it said. he
probably saved a man from being beat
en- to death.
Beginning with the hoodirrnisn Of
street gamins, the rioting grew until
at noon it had reached the state of ut
ter lawlessness. II the police depart
ment had been directed properly the
arrest of a dozen men and boys at the
inception OF the trouble would have
checked 1t. Instead of making an ef-
fort in this direction. the chief OF pe-
lice permitted his men to stand by
idly while the hoodlums took posses
sion of the downtown district, assault
ed whom they pleased and worked their
own sweet VIII without check or hind
rance from the police.
The facts speak for themselves. and
they are disgrace TO the city and its
police department.
During all the rioting there was no
sign that the striking street car men
had any part in the disturbance. On
the contrary numbers of them urged
the mob to keep the peace, because dis
order could only tiiscredit the men who
had quit work. Their attitude of 1T
self would have sufficed to quell the
,-;a- se 4t,ex- bo1 bad auv sort Of sim
port from the uniformed guardians of
Che law.
Either because the department is
hopelessly disorganized and Inefficient
or because its head is hopeiessiy indif-
ferent 10 his duty, the men failed mis-
erably in the most important duty
they have ever been asked TO perform
the protection of the citizens, the prop
eTty and the reputation of their city.

THE CONCEALED WEAPON.

| The Illinois legislature has under con-
concealed weapons. One OF them is
likely to be adopted. The first provides
a penalty Of from one to five years i'm
prisonment for carrying a concealed
weapon. The second provides the same
| penalty. but by a further provision
makes it impossible to impose the pen
atty except for second offense. The
present statute places the extreme
punishment at confinement for twenty
days in the county Jail. Chicago has
an ordinance under which a fine OF 5000
is the maximum penalty.
In New York IL is felony to carry a
concealed weapon, and only the other
day man who was caught with pair
OF brass knuckles was sent to the peni-
tertiary. This sort of law enforcement
is calculated to discourage the habit
very materially. AS a matter of fact,
1t should be a felony to carry a con-
cealed deadly weapon In every state of
the Union. And, more important, the
law should be rigidly enforced. Even
then it viii be hard enough to break
up the practice.
The pistol ''toter" is always a men
ace to the community in which he lives,
unless he is a duly constituted officer
whose duty it is to protect the public.
There are even some officers who have
no more business carrying a pistol than
the small boy would have with stick
Of giant powder and a match. Nothing
| is more calculated to cause trouble
than the knowledge on a mans part
that he has a pistol in his pocket. It
is like carrying chip on his shoulder
and inviting all corners to knock it off.
The man with a pistol invites row
when he could easily avoid it. Nine
times out of ten he is at heart a cow
ard. He carries a pistol because he be-
lieves it viii give him an advantage
over the other fellow, and he doesn't
hesitate to use his advantage. Yet in
a large majority of cases courts are ex-
tremely lenient with the concealed
weapon man. They seem TO go on the
theory that inasmuch as the defendant
has committed no overt act, aside from
the bare fact that he carries a pistol,
he is not likely to commit a crime of
| violence.
So they wait until the trouble takes
place, until somebody is killed or badly
hurt before they take any action. How
much better it would be to deprive the
man of his pistol and fill his heart with
a wholesome respect for the law by
stiff sentence at the outset. And how
many. many homes would be happier
today if the laws against carrying con-
eealed weapons had always been rigidly
enforced.
