JEROME IS MUCH
'QU|ETER WITH EVELYN,
She Still Holds Her Own In Several
Lively Tits Important Letters
introduced By Defence.

New York, Jan. 21.-District Attorney
Jerome's long and severe cross-ex-
animation of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit ThaN'
at the trial OF her husband, came to an
end la:e today. The attorneys for the
defence then succeeded in placing i'll
evidence a letter written by the de-
PENDANT in the fall Of 1908. which COM
pletely corroborated the claim that the
girl who was to become his wife did
tell him the story of her relations with
Stanford White, much as she has re-
lated il upon the stand at this and the
former trial.
This letter was one of a dozen which
We're read to the jury as tending TO
corroborate young Mrs. Thaw's testi-
mOny and as further tending to show
the effect her story had upon the de-
PENDANTS mind. Most of these letters
We're read to the jury in the former
trial and We're considered rs one of the
strongest bits of evidence in the hands
of the defence. Mr.. Jerome objected
to their introduction into the evidence
today but was ovarruled by Justice
Bowling, after Thaw himself had made
a waiver of the confidential relation of
counsel and client when Frederick w.
Longfcllow, his former attorney. ap
peared on the stand to identify the let
tcrs.
Some of the writings We're addressed
to Mr.. Longfellow and others had been
sent to him to be delivered to Miss
Nesbit. They al contained many refer
ences to the girls history and to her
experiences and i'll the letters intended
for the young woman Thaw constantly
bespoke his love and respect for her.
Many Of the sentences ramble1 on in
coherently and there We're many
scratches, erasures and interlineations.
The first letter Mr.. I.ittleton read to-
day was largely a repetition. i'll the de-
PENDANTS own words of the story the

Gov. Guild Answers Com

No Needy Person IN Boston
Need Starve or Freeze.
Principal Agitator Not Even Citizen
OF the Commonwealth.

Boston, JAN 21.-Considerins the dc.
mands which We're presented TO the
governor at the State House last week
by committee sent from several hun
dred unemployed who had gathered or
the State House steps, q statement was
issued late today from the eXecutiN1
office replying in detail to the many
suggestions embodied in the demands
The statement declares that the writ
er of the resolutions which embraced
the demands, showed an almost CON-
plete ignorance of conditions and laws
in the commonwealth. as some Of the
commissions demanded were already in
existence and other legislation sought
was clearly unconstitutional.
The office of the CVerseers of the
Poor on Hawkins street is open and
no person need starve or freeze, de-
clares the statement Not only is this
means available to the really suffering
poor, hut 1t is shown that a dozen or
more charitable organizations stand
ready at all tunes to help those in need.
While many are out Of work at this
time, especially those in the building
trades and farm work, as every year,
the reports to the governor, it is claim
ed show that the conditions are better
rather than worse than the average
for the month for the past 20 years.
The statement concludes with the
statement that an investigation by the
police shows That the agitator re-
sponsible for certain recent disturb
anceS has no regular residence in the
commonwealth; that his recent stay has
been scarcely n month: that although
posing as a Socialist he did not register
and vote for those principles and is
ineligible for election in any genuine
labor union, as he is not wage Garner.
His own admission shows he is not
himself unemployed and that he needs
no relief in food, clothing or shelter"

IN THE SENATE.
Senator Hale Objects to Anything
That Would Bother Judges.

Washington, Jan. 21-The Senate
today discussed the propriety of au-
thorizing one of it's committees to in
vestigate the circumstances connect
ed with the issuance of an injunction
in the case of the Hitchman Coal s.
Coke Co., vs. John Mirchell by Judge
Aston G. Dayton Of the United States
circuit court of the northern district
Of West Virginia. Senator Culberson
asked 70 have resolution for that
purpose adopted and Senator Hale
thought it should not harass judges
in their duties and he did not favor
such a resolution unless there was
considerable ground for believing that
a judge had exceeded his authority.
Considerable time was spent in
considering the bill to revise the GRIM
inal code Of the United States and at
412 p. NJ, the Senate adjourned.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Just why Chi

merchants should find their freight

change in rates was made in st. Louis

occupied the attention of Interstate

terday. The case, which is recorded
as Wyman. Partridge & Co, Min

versus the Boston & Maine, New York.
New Haven & Hartford, Pennsylvania,
Lehigh Valley and Lackawanna, with
the Lake shipping lines. which they
either own or control, received it's i'll
itial hearing. Commissioner Prouty
adjourned the hearing until March T.
The basis of the complaint, which
is being brought by Minneapolis and
Chicago merchants, with the support
Of the commercial association of both
cities. is the result of increase in :,ail
and water rates inaugurated in Mare
and July of last year. The old freight
rate for rail and water routes was
80 cents. In March all routes joined
IN increasing the rate to Chicago and
Minneapolis merchants to 81 cents and
followed in July with another an
nounced Increase of one cent.
To mollify the shippers, the COM
panies announced that the rate would
include marine insurance on all goods
in transit. But while they made this
concession to Chicago merchants as 4
basis of the extra three cents, they
made the same concession to st. Louis
merchants with no increase in the
freight rate. The hearing before the
commission on the charge that dis
elimination to individuals and as be-
tween localities was being made by
the transportation companies re-
suited.

NeSbir girl says she told him in Paris
in 1903. In it, Thaw refers to "Drugged
champaign mcidents-one at the
Photographic studio in 22d street and
the other in the 24th street house,
where, as Mrs. Thaw twice testified,
that while luncheon and wine were
served during her posing at the photo

binary occurred. Thaw's letter cor
roborated Mrs. Thaw in that she de-
clared il was the oath street house in
which she and Stanford White were
alone.
Mr.. Jerome was much quieter in his
handling of young Mrs Thaw on the
stand today and his voice lacked the
high, hard pitch which filled the court
room yesterday afternoon. The cross
examination resolved itself for a time
into a verbal battle between prosecutor
and witness and there We're several
lively tits which ended only when
Justice Bowling took a hand.
The defence is nearing its close. To.

Bell Says Abolition Has
Injured the Service.
Morals and Disci pine Suffer-.
He Wants Il Restored.
Also Urges Increase In Army Pay
And Recommends Reserve.

Washington. Jan. 21.-To settle def
nitely certain important questions of
fact relative to the army canteen sys-
tenn and to meet the assertion that the
repeated application of the war de-
nartment for the repeal Of tn law which
aboishG the Canteen, was not based
upon facts. Major General Bell. chief
OF staff, has caused careful study Of
the matter to be made and a full rec
ord prepared with the view of placing
before the secretary of war, in concise
form. reasons why the law should be
repealed. This statement forms one of
the principal chapters in his annual re-
port just issued for publication. The
conclusion that General Bell reached Is
as follows:
when the canteen was in operation
there We're fewer desertiOns, fewer fines
and forfeitures imposed by sentnce OF
courts-martial, less alcoholism and less
vent real disease than prior to its es-
/ Enlistment | am satisfied
that Il careful consideration of the
whole subject as set forth in the spe-
cial report, together with the views Of
the department commanders, will be
convincing evidence that the abolition
of the canteen has resulted in injury
to the service. The morals and disci-
pline of the army have suffered in con-
sequence, though of course. no one
should be so narrow as to ascribe to
the abolition of the canteen feature all
evil effects observable"
General Bell urges the creation of a
reserve for $4,000 men under 40 years
of age and who have served one en-
listnent in the regular army. He will
pay these men from $24 to $50 per an
mum, holding them subject to cal!
wherever they may be at any moment,
and to 10 days training each. year.
General Bell also urges an increase
OF army pay. An interesting feature of
the army so as to meet modern Condi-
lions and enable the President to be
nrepared to mobilize $1,000 men without
denuding every military station and
absolutely breaking up our peace sys-
TEN REORGANIZATION and administra-
ton. Says General Bell:
~"Unless other great nations are
wrong and wasting time and money.
