that no city in the State has larger

LIFE
ON Street

Joseph Kingston, a middle aged
man, committed suicide last night
at the corner of kivers-,.e av. and
Stevens st. by drinking a small bot
tie of chloroform. Following the
poisonous draught he fell writhing
to the sidewalk. The patrol was
called, but before Sacred Heart hos
pital was reached the man was
dead.
A hack driver named Travis told
Coroner Witter today that he saw
the man go to the basement on the
corner and drink from bottle but
thought it was whiskey or other
liquor. A search of the suicides
pockets revealed a card from the
American Labor union, of Deer
Creek, Mont.
The bottle from which the poison
was taken was bought in Newport,
Wash. The body is at Buchanan's
undertaking rooms awaiting infor-
nation as to relatives.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Evidence
that White meditated killing Harry
Thaw during the trouble over pos
session of Evelyn was given in the
trial this morning, introduced by
Attorney Delmas when he called
Benjamin Bowman, door keeper at
Madison Square theater, to the
stand. Bowman said he knew both
White and Thaw. Delmas' ques-
ton led him to state that in 1903
White came to him after a show
and asked if Evelyn Nesbit had
gone home.
81 told him yes" continued Bow
man. white said was liar, u.s.
ing much profanity. l told him to
go on the stage and see for him.
self. Returning he drew a revolver,
showed it to me and said I'll kill
that - before daylight"
Bowman said that five days later
he saw Thaw and told him of
Whites threat. He said Whites
face was black with anger when
the threat was made. The court,
after Bowman repeated more OBJ
noxious names White called Thaw,
told the ladies present that if their
sense of propriety was disturbed
they could have an opportunity to
leave the room. Mrs. Carnegie and
the Countess of Yarmouth left. OF
over a score of women spectators
only three others followed.
Jerome's cross examination took
Bowman over every detail of his
life. He examined Bowman close

TO KILL THAW

ly as to the exact details of Whites
threat and subsequent events. Je-
rome wanted to know if Bowman
was given or promised any reward
for testifying. He said no.
The following attorneys for Thaw
were announced this morning: Del
mas, assisted by O'Reilly, will be in
charge of the defense throughout
the remainder of the trial. Gleason,
HaTtridge. McPike and Peabody
will act in advisory capacity.
Thaw's hopes were lifted from
darkness into light at the morning
session by the effort to remove
from the jury the disastrous i'm
preston caused by DR.. Wiley's
failure as an expert. 1t was partial
ly successful. Bowman was a good
witness and Jerome could not dis
count his testimony. 1t is apparent
that Delmas plans to set before the
jury clearly all details leading up
to the tragedy before making an at
tempt to prove insanity.
A crowd flocked into the court
room this afternoon, gaily dressed
women giving the place the APP
pearance of matinee. Thaw was
displeased and the judge ordered
the doors locked to permit no more
to enter. A number of newspaper
men and one of Thaws counsel
were shut ut. Jerome began this
afternoon session with argument
that lay witnesses are not compel
ent to pass upon the mental condi-
ton of the defendant.

. THAW MEANS
DISASTER

Alarm is felt among railroad
officials of this city today on &C
count of the Chinook wind. Many
feet of snow have fallen in the
mountains and it is generally fear
ed that should the weather remain
at the present temperature another
day or so every road in the North
west will be tied up on account of
washouts.
All trains out of st. Paul on the
Northern Pacific have been annull-
ed and what few are running this
side of the Rockies are many hours
behind time. A freight succeeded
in getting through on the o. R. &
N. this morning, but the line is
still blocked by a snowslide near
Bonneville. No passenger train
will run out of Spokane this after
noon over this road.
Trains that were released on the
Great Northern near Havre, Mont,
yesterday are now blocked in the
Cascades. Some trains on the G.
N. road are nearly buried in the
snow near Leavenworth, and their
engines are entirely out of coal.
Eight miles of track in Tumwater
canyon are covered deep in the
snow. Telephone and telegraph
wires are reported down and no
railroad communication has been
possible for over two days.

appears to have been sufficient to
the end.
The only other requirement men,
toned was a hint by Councilman
Baldwin that Mr.. Graves take the
council East with him to inspect
subways in New York and Phila-
delphia. Mr.. Graves was willing to
take a committee under wing for
the trip but rejected the entire
council as too much Of problem in

Objection lodged in behalf of the

ton of the grounds of which the
subway is to pass, was met by Mr..
Graves with satisfactory assurance
of payment for damage done.

MAKES final EFFORT TO
SECURE ARBITRATION

AS the streetcar situation looks
today there is no danger of strike
of any consequence. The Washing
ton Water Power Co. Is holding the
key to the situation In the detection
Of rs or so members of the union,
who state that they voted against
strike and will not leave work.
Charges of fraud in counting the
vote, whereby a majority was an
nounced in favor of striking, are
flying about, mingled with denials
by the other side. Edward Nc
Morrow, executive officer in
charge, declares emphatically that
no Irregularities were attempted in
the count as far as he knows. Nc
Morrow is known to have been OPP
posed to a strike, believing that
the trouble could be settled by
peaceable methods.
In this hope McMorrow this af-
ternoon addressed the following
communication to II. M. Richards,
president of the Washington Water
Power Co.:

AS forecasted by The Press sew
eral days ago, by vote of eight to
two the council in committee of the
whole last night voted the Graves
subway franchise out for passage
Tuesday night.
Browns common user clause was
killed, only himself and Stimmel
supporting it. The council also de-
clared itself in favor Of a perpetual
franchise. The only restriction
placed in the franchise is provi-
sion offered by Pratt that work be-
gin in two years and be completed
in five. An indemnity bond of $780,

slider logical method Of settling

form us at once of your position in
this matter"
There is no expectation that Mr..
Richards will pay the slightest at
tention to the communication.
What further action is contem-
plated by the union is not stated.
In regard to the objection raised
by those who claim they voted
against strike Mr.. McMorrow
says:
"If they did not want to partici-
pate in any trouble why did they
not withdraw from the union in
stead Of remaining to fight for the
company. The committees and
tellers concerned were appointed
by the local union composed of men
who now discredit the action taken
under their authority, Why did
they send for me to come out and
settle the trouble If they did not be-
lieve they had frievance?
THAT the company had reason
to feel certain of support from
enough men in the union to start a
counter row is demonstrated"
