Judges Instructions to Come.
WITNESS DIDN'T HELP THE STATE
Last Reply Was a Crusher to Jerome's
Hopes.

Lining up all his forces in rebuttal
Jerome decided to open his fight upon
the defense by attacking the story told
the jury by Mrs. Harry Thaw. He
called to the stand Frederick w. Long
fellow. formerly an attorney for Thaw.
and asked him first concerning the
case in which Ethel Thomas is alleged
to have sued Thaw for damages be
cause of cruel trea tment. Delmas OBJ
jected to questions along the line I'M
der the professional privilege of law
yer and client and the objection was
sustained. Then Jerome showed Long
fellow the Photographic copy of the
affidavit Evelyn Neshit is said to have
signed in the Office of Abraham Hum
mel-alleging that Thaw treated her
cruelty while abroad in 1903 because
she would not tell lies against Stan
ford White"
Jerome followed this UP by asking
the witness if Mrs. Thaw had not
turned over to him certain papers TO
which she had subscribed. LOngfel-
low said she had. There was long
argument between Jerome and Del
mas, at the conclusion Of which Long
fellow turned his entire examination
to naught by declaring that Mrs. Thaw
had never shown him paper similar
to the Hummcl affidavit in any way.
He thereupon was excused without
croSS-examination.
Police officers who saw Thaw the
night OF the tragedy declared he act
cd nationally. Captain Hodgins. OF
the TenderlOin precinct. however, quail
fed his answer to the question by say
ing once that "for man who had just
committed murder Thaw acted ration
ally" This was stricken out, and he
said "Well his eyes had stare and
a gaze such as they show as l now
look at them" This answer also was
stricken ont and finally the captain de-
clared:
We'll, he seemed more rational than
lrratioual--and that's the best answer
can give"

Reminder. Of Rome. Power.

Among the Roman structures still
remaining in Spain, the province of H.
lyria, which gave two emperors to
Rome, the most magnificent is the
great aqueduct of Segovia while
Northern Africa is full of ruined tenn
pies, aqueducts and amphitheaters,
which remain to amaze the builders
of this present age. The amphitheat-
er at Thysdrus, in Tunisia. is one OF
the largest in the wOrld-exceeding
in size even the arena at Mines.

Wants TO Do What He Declared
Weeks Ago Would Not Be
Possible.
TRIES TO IMPEACH MRS. THAw
He Practically Gets the Desired Evil
dence Before the Jury.
But 1t Is All Ruled Out - DelmSs
Quotes the Prosecutors Own
Words Against His Of
fered Testimony.

New York. March 12.-On the first
day Of the states case in rebuttal at
the trial of Harry \. Thaw District
Attorney Jerome came to a temporary
standstill against the practically solid
wall the rules of evidence have built
around the story of Mrs. Harry Thaw.
Jerome began TO attack this story as
soon as court opened. There ensucd
well-nigh ceaseleSs battle between the
prosecutor ahd Dalmas, at the end OF
which Justice Fitzgerald upheld the
rule laid down at the beginning Of the
trial-that Mrs. Harry Thaw'S story
Was admissible only as tending to
show the effect it might have had IN
urbalancing the DEFENDANTS mind, and
that its truth or falsity is not mate
rial.
Will Try To Prove an Alibi.
Jerome tried to avoid this rule hy
declaring he was endeavOring mere
~ to show by inference-by circun-
stantial evidence as to facts and de
tails in the story-that Mrs rhaw
could not possibly have told the story
to her husband. Although hewill doubt
less be blocked by the same rule when
the time comes, it is said. the district
attorney may attempt in the same way
to prove an alibi for Stanford White
Oh the night he is alleged to have raped
Miss Nesbit.
Did Each Gain His Point?
Nire-tenths of the session were spent
in argument, and in nearly every in
stance when the smoke of conflict
cleared away Delmas had won his
point as to the law while Jerome In
the very argument itself had got be-
fore the jury a perfect knowledge as
to what his witness would have teSti
fed to had they been permitted. The
district attorney called ten witnesses
during the day. but aside from draw
ing from the states eye-witneSSeS to
the tragedy the opinion that Thaw
seemed rational the night he shot and
killed Stanford White little real head
way was made.
Judges Instructions to Come.
There is one lily i'm Jerome's oint-
Inent. however. Although he did get
what he wanted before the jury the
judges instructions are TO be reckOned
with. If the judge sticks to his rulings
he will particularly instruct the jury
that all this evidence 10 which Objec-
tons was sustained must be absolute
ly thrown out of the iury's mind in
making up its verdict.

Canada, where more liberal land laws
obtain and where government irriga-
ton projects appear to be more speed
lily completed M..
'1V.-Five years have now elapsed
since these conditions began to pre-
vail and no speedy relief seems to be
in sight. We, your petitioners, res
pectfully urge that every effort be
made for the speedy construction of
the St Mary's canal to Milk river,
that in our opinion the force now a.
vailable for said work is entirely in
adequate for the completion of the
canal in a reasonable time; and it
seems to us that the construction Of
the whole of said canal should be let,
If possible, to some responsible con-
tractors, who are equipped to con-
struct the work in a more speedy
manner, even though the costs should
exceed the estimate of construction by
force account, as in our opinion the
use OF the water for one season would
be worth more to this valley than
the possible difference in construct
ion; and as it would be necessary
before water which may be turned
into the Milk river from the St.
Mary's can be used upon the land
in our valley, to construct diversion
canals conveying it to the lands we
urge that the lower portion of the
project be taken tip and actual con-
structiOn begun just as soon as mon
ey is available in the reclamation
fund.
''V-And we would especially urge
that all lands which had been with
drawn for this project and are known
to lie above the canal and not sus-
ceptable to irrigation be restored,
so that the settlers may obtain title
under the desert and homestead acts.

will be called to meet at Harlem on
the 1st day of July and would be
pleased to confer with you on these
matters
Very respectfully submitted.

MAYORS OF STATE
TO Meet TUESDAY

Again the dynamic force of l..
Newman of Havre apIears in the STIR
ring up of the Myors of the leading
cities of the state to meet in the cap
tai Of the state on June IS. Mayor
Newman was the first to propose
these meetings two years ago and
each has resulted in profitable dis
cussion and much mutual aid that
leads to the good of civics.
The most important question that is
to come before the mayors meeting
this year is the framing of protest
and the arranging of some manner in
which municipalities may be relieved
from the severe hardship worked on
them by the new law passed at the
last session of the legislature, which
makes it incumbent on each incorpo-
rated city to take care of the conta-
gious disease within its confines, and
relieves the county of the burden of
expense. In his letter calling the
mayors together Mayor Newman points
out that this law may easily work to
the financial ruin of any small city
where contagion should become epi-
demic.
1t is anticipated that uniform
method of handling contagious dis
eases will be ranged for by the may
ors and number of other pertinent
questions, particularly relating to CO.
operation in police work, will be dis
cussed. The meeting will be held in
the office of Mayor Frank S. P. Lin

"I.-There are over $4,000 settlers and
others dependent upon the agricultur-
tt resources CT the country under this
project for livlihood; that all the
lands have been withdrawn from set

entry under this reclamation act which
under the rulings of the department
prevents any settler from receiving
title to land until the completion of
the canal systems, and the irrigation
and reclamation of at least one half
OF the irrigable lands embraced in
their entries. That many settlers are
now making final proof are confronted
with the fact that perfect title can
not pass from the government to them
until the completion of this project;
That by the passage of the reclama-

Secretary of the Interior all reservoir
sites and rights of way for canals and
bitches, by private parties, have been
withdrawn; and that the government
has lied upon all the waters of Milk

since the summer of 1902, just before
the withdrawal of this land under the

desert entries with the intention of
irrigating them by private and coop

of the land and of the rights for res
ervoirs and bitches, and the filing of
all of the waters by the government
rendered them helpless, not only to
comply with the desert land laws un-
der which many of the entries were
made, but renderd them powerless to

cation it is worthless.

were no exceptional stock losses in
the eastern part of Chouteau county
during the winter. To the contrary,
he proposes to have the assessment in
creased in nearly every instance so far
as he has now covered the territory.
"Stockmen," says Mr. Thornber,
ARE confessing to me practically the
same holdings as a year ago, except
in some individual cases. Many Of the
stockmen are badly marred, but I
have not yet found one who admits
ruin. Chouteau county may keep
pride I have seen nothing in all my
travel and investigation but prosper
ity for all interests-sheep men, cat
tie men and agriculturists. Of the
two larger stock outfits which I have
assessed so far-the Coburns and Nc
Namara & Marlow-each say that the
loss last winter was little more than
normal. l have heard of larger losses
to the east and am going in that di-
rection, but anticipate confession
of Just as many goods as I have had
reported to in the western part OF my
district"

The FIRST HAvRE HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS GRADUATES With HONOR

of government and of just how the
abuses of the present day could be
remedied It is the belief of Miss
Allen that new American standerd
has been raised
There were three judges, viz, F. N.
Utter, H. w stringfellow and Fl. M.
Lewis, who were unable to determine
any especial merit of one essay over
the other, hence they decided to divide
the prize offered by County Attorney
Carnal, giving the 500 equally to the
two competitors.
1t may here be remarked that one
of the best musical programs that a
Havre audience has ever had opportu-
nifty to listen to was rendered. Those
assisting We're: Mrs R. x. Lewis, Mrs.
D. NJ. Wright, Phyllis Smith, Mrs. L.
X. Devlin, DR.. and Mrs. J. A. Gordon,
Dr.. A. Elton Williams, Mrs. A. j.
Broadwater, Miss Eva DeLorimier and
Miss Martha Buckingham. The harp
and mandolin trio made their first
appearance and presented harp at
public entertainment in Havre for the
first time. 1t was capably fingered by
G. H. Rothrock, as were the mandolins
by w. Fryberg and C. c. Carter Out
side of its deep seriousness, the hit of
the whole occasion was made in a hui
morous reproduction of a telephone
conversation by Mrs. w. B. Young.
The audience found Miss Phyllis
Smith surprise as a vocalist and was
equally enamoured of the High School
sextet, the members of which were:
Lillian Grace Hammond, Clara Ben
son, Imogene Allen, Clara Allen, Mar
ion Broadwater and Ruth Carrier.
The invocation was by the Rev. w.
B. Young; the benediction by the Rev.
F. w. Poole.

ciable prizes are to be offered to the

Day three the eagles will get down
to solid business, but in the evening
visitors will be given a heartfull fare
well at a ball to be held in the opera
house
This is as far as the program has
SO far been arranged. The city coun-
Gil is perfecting streets and crossings;
the eagles are cleaning up all the more
disgraceful lots by their own hands;
Frank Barber, Of Ottumwa, Iowa, one
of the best decorators that graces
Montana, promises that the Red,
White and Blue-the colors Of the
Eagles-shall cover every building in
Havre down to the shack.
Butte eagles will come to Havre

twenty pieces, but, don't doubt 1t, it
will be heard from all the day and all
the nightlong during the period of the
convention. The Great Northern Shop
band will play all the dates of the
convention in Amusement park where
visitors who tire of uptown may be
