LAWYERS HAVE CLASHES
Also Delmas Gives Hummel a Rather
Rough Deal.

The day began with HummeI on the
whether he should be allowed to testi-
fy to matters that would impeach Mrs.
Harry Ihaw's testimony. The judge
ruled plainly that Hummel must not
so testify, sustaining Delmas on every
point. In spite Of this Jerome, carry
ing out his policy of getting the testi-
mony before the jury anyhow, asked
HummeI whether Evelyn Nesbit did
not tell him that she had told Thaw
that it was not true that White had
drugged and ravished her.
Delmas opened his mouth to object
when. before he could utter a word,
Hummel snapped out: "She certainly
did" This reused DelmaS and in
whitening tones he said: "And you
cali yourself a lawyerr' A sharp eX-
change followed between Delmas and
jerome, the latter objecting to the adj
jeCtive learned when applied by
Delmas to himself JerOme). At this
Delmas said: IF the irritable district

ascribing to him the qualities he so
scornfully rejects
In various ways Jerome tried to get
questions answered that would i'm
peach Mrs. Harry Thaw's testimony,
but Delmas although allowing the
question that Hummel had answered
20 stand-was quick with objections
and all were ruled out. Delmas insist
cd that Hummel had no right to an
swer any of the questions because, in
the matter of which he (HummeD was
cognizant he was Evelyn Nesbit's at
torney, and Judge Fitzgerald said that
in regard to that matter Hunnmel had
replied both ways-that he was Eve
Ign Nesbit's attorney and Stanford
Whites attorney, at the same time.
At this Delmas said: stanford
White told Evelyn Nesbit he was TAX
ing her to see Hummel in order that
Hurlmel might protect her from Har-
ry Thaw. Protect her how? as man
or as a lawyer"
Hummels further testimony was
halted until Mrs. Harry X. Thaw
again takes the stand to testify as to
whether or not Hummel was acting
as her attorney when she made the
alleged statements to him which were
afterwards embodied in an affidavit.

New York. March 15.-Answering
precisely the same hypothetical ques-
ton in response to which the alieniStS
of the defense declared that Harry
X. Thaw was suffering from an un-
sound mind and did not know the ma
tUre or quality of his act when he shot
and killed Stanford White DIR. Austin
Flint, the first expert called by Dis
trict Attorney Jerome in rebuttal, de-
clared it to he his opinion that Thaw
did know the nature and quality of
his act, and knew that the act was
wrong. When court adjourned for the
day Delmas had not begun his cross
examination of DIT. Flint, who is the
first of six alienists to be called by
Jerome.

After repeating to DR.. Flint the
same question which DelmaS put to
the experts for the defense, and hay

Hummel on the Stand Again.
Abraham Hummel was on the stand
again, and before Delmas could oh
ject to a question put TO him by er-
ollie the witness had got into the rec
ord the statement that Evelyn Nesbit
had told him that she had informed
Harry I'haw III Paris in 1903 that
Stanford White positively had not
drugged or betrayed her. Delmas at
first moved to have the question and
answer stricken from the record, but
as the district attorney seemed about
to consent to this plea the counsel for
the defense insisted that the answer
stand.

CARDINAL GIBBONS
 IS SEVENTY THREE

Baltimore, Md, July 23.-Mail clerks and telegraph operators of Baltimore were kept busy today handling the floods of letters and telegrams addressed to Cardinal Gibbons. ,congratulating the emi- nent prelate upon reaching his 73d birthday. Owing to the frai, health incident to his advancing years, the cardinal who is the head of the Catholic Church in America has not appeared often in public of late and will spend the greater part of the summer quietly at his coun- try place in Southampton, l.. I. The cardinal is exceedingly popular with the summer colonists, regardless of religious utilization. Although frail of physique, he is as young in spirit and intellect as twenty-seven years ago, when he became the primate and head of the church in the United States.
 The hope most frequently express ed by the friends of the cardinal in their letters and messages is that he may be spared to celebrate June 30, 1911, the golden anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood. Forty-six years ago, on June 30, last the cardinal was ordained priest at Baltimore by Archbishop Kendrick, his predecessor in the see of Baltimore.
 Reversing the usual order, the cardinal is an Irish-American born in the United States and emigrating to the "old sod.' He first beheld the light of day on July 23, 1884 in Louisiana. Taken to Ireland in his infancy, he received his earliest edu- cation there. Returning to America, he located in Maryland and in 1857 graduated from St. Charles college. Four years later he was ordained a priest of St. Mary's seminary. So rapid was his advancement in the priesthood, and the recognition ac- corded him for his great ability, that on August 16, 1868, he was consecrated bishop and vicar apos- apostolic of North Carolina. Four years later he was transferred to Richmond. In 1877 he was appoint ed coadjutor with the right of suc- cession to Archbishop Bailey, and in October of the same year succeed ed to the see of Baltimore. In 1886 he received the crowning hon. or of his career, and distinguished tribute was paid to the church in America by his elevation to the car dinalate by Pope Leo KILL, fol- lowing the death of Cardinal Me- Closkey.

WE LOST THE GAME.

Perhaps one thousand people
saw the game at Ervin's park last
Sunday between Baxter and Mi
ami, and sad to say, Baxter was
beaten. an error in the thirteenth
inning letting the visitors make
the winning scores.
The day was a hot one, but the
people were interested in the
game, and they went out to see
it. Harlan was in the box for
the locals, and Westcott of Jop-
lin for the visitors. Neither
pitcher had any the best of the
other one, and the support on
both sides was good. In the first
inning the visitors made one run
and the locals two. The second
inning was a nice goose egg for
each one, and the third the locals
made a run, while the visitors
were blanked. and blank il was
until the seventh inning When
the visitors tied the score bT|
making two, Neither side made
4 score in the eighth and nintI.
