LittIetOn Springs Surprise by
Introducing Her as Witness
al This Time.
MRS. WILLIAM THAW is
ALSO PLACED ON STAND
Miss Alice Fletcher, Washington
Friend of Family and One of the
Best Known Scientific Women in
the United States, Keeps jerome
Guessing - Katherine O'Neil, a
Nurse, Gives Important Testimony.

New York, Jan. 17.-Evelyn Thav
was called to the stand at 1884 thiI
morning as witness for the defense
This was an unexpected move on the
part of Littleton, as he had announc'
ed yesterday that Evelyn would no
be called until the last of the lay
witnesses.
Her anxiety to remain with hei
husband in the trial room was sup
posed to be the reason for her early
call to testify.
She was sworn and the jurors lean.
ed forward In interest to see the wo'
man over whom the two men had
had the fatal quarrel and about
whom so much discussion has ragged
Then Littleton sprang another
surprise. He held a short conference
with his associates and then with
drew the witness, stating that he was
not ready at this moment to examine
her.
1t is thought that Mrs. VIM. Thaw
mother of the defendant, may testi-
fy today. She arrived at the court
house today accompanied by her son
Josiah, and appeared to be very Ill.
Miss Alice Fletcher, OF Washington
a friend of the Thaw family. was the
first witness to testify this morning
She said that Harry was subject to
Incorporate outbursts when a child.
Miss Fletcher testified that in
1903 Thaw told her he was suffering
from a disease of the eyes and hoped
he would die. He talked so incoher-
emily that the witness stated that she
could hardly understand what he
meant.
In cross-examination she stated
that she was connected with the
bureau at Washington.
She is one of the best known scien-
tific women in the United States. Miss
Fletcher baffled Jerome completely
in her clever oral fencing.
Katherine O'Neil, a nurse in the
i nav ldHlllys NSSllllGu llldN marry
Thaw was a moody child, subject to
fits and hysteria.
Evelyn was then called and ex-
cused and after the examination of a
few unimportant witnesses the noon
recess was taken.
Immediately after recess Mrs. Will
liam Thaw took the witness chair.
She appeared to be very feeble and
looked older than she did at the trial
last year.
After testifying in answer to Je-
rome that Thaw had told her he loved
Evelyn Nesbit more than any woman
he ever had known, she was excused
Mrs, William Thaw was on the
stand but a few moments when she
was excused and Evelyn was recalled.

Railroads Agree on Rates for
Sixty Days During March
and April.
RATE no OREGON NOT
AS LOW AS LAST YEAR
Hill Lines Opposed Granting Of Rates
In Chicago Meeting-Incease Of $5
Over Last Years Rate from Mis-
souri, River Points Is Agreed Upon;
Heaviest ColOnist Movement on
Record Is Anticipated This Year.

That oregon will enjoy the colonist
rate again this year, although not so
low a rate as on former years, is
shown by the following from a Port
land paper, which says:
A most signal victory has been won
by the railroads entering Portland in
the fight they have been making for
reducer one-way colonist rate for the
current year. While the victory is
in the nature of compromise, 1t will
mean that there will be no staying
of the tremendous rush of homeseek-
ers to the northwest the coming
spring, all interests which have been
fighting for the low rate admitting
THAT the IS increase above the pre-
vious rates will have no deterrent ef--
feet on the stream of Oregon-bound-
rsettlers.
So far as the local territory is con-
cerned, the Hill roads are the only
lines that opposed granting a colonist
rate this year, and when Hill formed
combination with certain of the
powerful eastern roads, against the
lower rate, it looked as IL Oregon had
been delivered a body blow, as had
both Washington and California.
Unfortunately for Washington,
there wasn't line tapping that state
that would stand up and fight for the
s33 middle west and s22 Missouri
river rates, and so strong and effec-
tive was the Hill and kindred opposi-
ton that the roads favoring the re-
duced rate saw there was only one
hope of winning, and that was by
consenting to $5 plaster on the rate
from the two sections. this compro-
mise fixing the middle west rate at
$3S and the Missouri river rate at
$50.
The roads which deserve the credit
for assisting the coast states in keep
ing up their rapid rate of settlement
by eastern colonists are the following,
each of which made individual de-
mands for the former rates of $33 and,
$25 respectively: Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific. oregon Short Line,
o. r. & N, Rock Island and the c.
B. & Q. In other words, the Harri-
man system, with the aid of two other.
systems, whipped the recalcitrant
Hill and associate systems into line
by throwing a s5 sop.
That there would be a colonist rate,
granted for the spring and fall sea-
sons was announced in press dis
patches from Chicago as follows:
The Rate Announced
That the 2-cent fare regulation re-
GENTLY enacted by several western
states will not operate to do away
with colonist rates on the railroads
leading to the Pacific coast was an

ent notice to this effect had been
given by the Southern Pacific, and
)ther western roads are expected to
'ollow the lead. Beginning March /,
md continuing until April, it is an

middle west to the Pacific coast will

Panic i'm East More Far Reaching

Glass of Colonists VIII Come West
to Escape Cramped Conditions
Little Lumber Going East and
Market at Present Is Stagnant-
Building Operations VIII Soon Pick
Up.

E. E. Cleaver of Chicago and Cliff
ton Cleaver OF Prairie City, are here
in the city today on a brief business
trip and to greet old Pendleton
friends.
f. f. Cleaver is recently from Chi
cago, although he has been in east
ern Oregon for several weeks and
talks entertainingly of conditions and
western sentiment in the east.
Mr.. Cleaver says that half of the
money panic in the east has not been
told, but that Notwithstanding this
fact. conditions are improving and
times are better than could have
been expected two months ago.
"The hard times of the east will
only stimulate TIE western move
ment," said Mr.. Cleaver TO the East
Oregonian today, land you people of
eastern Oregon must be prepared to
take care of the heaviest colonist
movement next spring ever to come
west. People are cramped and dis
satisfied in the east and they are
simply forced to seek new homes and
a new environment in the west
"An excellent class of people is
coming to the west hereafter. The
poorer classes cannot come, but the
middle class people having means
with which to buy small homes and
engaging in small industries will
come in immense numbers.
Lumber Business Stifle1.
"There is less lumber going east
now than ever before and there is
less lumber carried in stock in the
eastern yards than ever before, but
this condition cannot last. The west
has quit manufacturing lumber tenn
porarily, but the demand will soon
cause the mills to start again and
when all start at once it will be i'm
possible to get cars, labor or any
thing else to move the traffic. Just
at present II is quiet in building lines
in the east, but this cannot last. The
flood of building will soon break out
again and there will be business and
work for everybody and the demands
upon western industries will be un-
precedented."
A company with which Mr.. Cleaver
is associated is building a large saw
mill near La Grande and will soon
be ready to begin manufacturing lum-
ber.' AT present he says very little
lumber is moving anywhere and
prices are lower than for many years. !
