HANDS OFF IN PERSIA.
Great Britain Believes Foreign Inter
ference is Unnecessary.

LONDON, February 1S.-Replying to a
question in the House of Commons today
regarding the situation in Persia Mr.. Runci-
man, financial secretary of the treasury, In
behalf of Foreign Secretary Sir Edward
Grey. said the government understood that
the shah had acceded to the demands of the
Persian national assembly for a formal rec
ognition of the monarchy as being limited,
and had granted the demands for minister
ial responsibility to the assembly.
The British government. Mr.. Runciman
added desired to abstain from any interior
ence in the internal affairs of Persia. No
danger to foreigners was anticipated, but
should any special measures be necessary
they would be confined to safeguarding
British subjects. The best way of averting
any interference with foreigners was to let
the Persians clearly understand that there
was no intention on the part of foreign ma
tons to interfere in their domestic affairs.

with a fate similar to that Of his wife.
These were the general provisions of what
Is said to be an incoherent instrument and
on which the defense expected to strengthen
the contention that it was the emanaton
of diseased brain. The district attorney
fought earnestly against tn admission of
Delmas conferred with Judge Fitzgerald,
and Mr. Jerome said he would decide the
next day whether he would insist upon his
objection.
Meantime there came the news of the
illness of Juror Bottoms wife. On Thurs
day, before the will had been offered again,
DR.. Britton Evans was recalled to the
| stand and had just about started to testify
when court officer entered hurriedly and
whispered to Judge Fitzgerald, who at once
adjourned the trial and permitted Mr.. Boil
ton to go to his home in the Bronx, where
he arrived few minutes after his wife
death.
The other jurors, who have been guarded
as closely the defendant on trial and
have been CHARTERED in the Broadway Cen
trail Hotel were permitted to go to their
homes after being admonished not to dis.
cuss the case among themselves or to per-
NIT others to speak of it in their presence.

Note Was Finally Admitted.

The defense made determined effort at
the beginning of Evelyn Thaw's testimony
to have introduced as evidence the note
which the witness wrote and passed to her
husband on the night Stanford White was
killed, but the demand for its production by
the defendants counsel was not answered
or noticed. Last Monday it was admitted
and was offered to prove that 1t was part
of the cause which goaded Thaw to seeking
the life of the architect
On the first day she was on the stand
Evelyn told of her visit to the office of Abe
Hummel where she was asked to sign a
paper and refused. She told of seeing a
paper burned and the ashes thrown into a
vase. This part of her story was followed
two days later by the intimation that Hum
mel, Notwithstanding his conviction and
disbarment, would appear as witness for
the people, and produce a Photographic re-
production of document in which the
young wife told of cruelties inflicted on her
by Thaw before her marriage.
Expert testimony was introduced before
Evelyn had finished to prove that Harry
Thaw was abnormal In his cranial develop
ment, and that he was subject to what was
described as brain storm or mental ex-
plosion." due to hereditary predisposition.
This was the opinion of DR.. Evans who
with DR.. Wagner, visited Thaw in his cell
In the Tombs. Both physicians based their
conclusions that the prisoner was of I'M
sound mind, on the physical examination
they made of him, coupled with his general

Did he mention the names of any young
women
Yes, SIR"
The witness was not asked to give these
names.
DIR. Wagner repeated DIR. Evans conclu-
as an agent of Providence in killing Stan
ford White was an insane delusion.
Before DR.. Wagner was excused Mr.. Del
mas said: We now come to the matter of
the will of the defendant"
Justice Fitzgerald said he would like to
have a copy of the will to read before pass
ing on the admissibility.
Mr.. Deimas suggested that only parts of
the will were essential to the purpose of the
defense, Il would like to keep out of the
record all that is not MATERIAL said Justice
Fitzgerald.

'If the will is offered District Attorney
Jerome here interposed, sit will have to all
go in. There are elements as to handwrit-
ing ETC., which must be considered by the
jury
This statement of the district attorney
was taken to indicate that he win no long
er oppose the admission Of the will as evil
dence.
At this point the luncheon recess until 2
pm. was ordered.

They Are Known as "Apaehes" and

Les Apaches--
They work In gangs. In the under

and distinct. Fame has come to them
to the gang of Bebert Of Montparno,
of Gegene of the Courtille, the Green
Cravats, the Costands of the Villette,
the Mont-en-l'air of the Batignolles.
Against these bands the police war in
vain. They wage their battles In open
day-for some "mome" that Bebert has
stolen from Gegene. A band comes
down from the heights of Belleville or
of Charonne and raids peaceful quar-
ter-a home going cab is surrounded,
the passenger stabbed through the win
dow and robbed. They prey on the
public. Band wars upon band. There
are nightly duels on the Notifications
or under the bridges-when the Beau
Totor meets Poigne d'Acier, knife to
knife, in savage and not unloyal way.

eral Judge who issued the order re-
straining the Alabama authorities
from enforcing its laws affecting a
railroad doing interstate business Is
a democrat, while the North Carolina
judge is a republican. Judge Jones
has been towering figure in Alaba-
ma politics. He was elected governor
of Alabama at time when the popu-
lists were in their prime and threat
ened to sweep the state. He was then
the idol of the democrats and still
has strong following in the state.
He is admittedly man of great cour-
age and there is not the least doubt
but that he will enforce the orders OF
his court, even though 1t requires the
services of United States troops to
do so. He has instructed the federal
grand jury to indict any county or
state officials who ignore the injunc-
ton issued from his court and 1t is
made evident that it is his inten-
ton to punish all such violations.
It is also evident that he will be
given an opportunity to do so, unless
, there is a decided change in the at
titude of state and county officials
Governor Conner himself may fall in
to the net. He declares that 1t is his
duty under the oath taken when he
| entered the office of governor to en-
force the laws, and he will do so
Numerous other officials have ex
pressed the intention to violate the
injunction by securing Indictment
against railroad officials, and 1t Il
probable that some such Indictment
will be returned in short time. Ther
will come the conflict.
