cana" and other rhetorical pyrotech.
MICS, Martin w. Littleton today made
plea to the jury which will decide
the punishment to be meted out to
Harry K. Thaw for the murder OF
Architect Stanford White. Littleton's
plea WAS masterful argument
couched in direct terms and deliver
| ed In an emphatic and impressive
style. free from all spread-eagle tac-
tics.
A plain insanity plea with no other
argument was advanced than thatThaw
could not be adjudged guilty OF mur-
der because of his mental incompe-
tence at the time he killed White.
The argument mainly comprised a
review of the evidence and the devel-
opment of it's worth.
Mr.. Littleton combatted absolutely
the insinuation of the state that the
defence of insanity was picked by him
as subterfuge and was only intend
ed for use to save the defendant.
Thaw was plainly nervous during
the argument.
Judge Dowling fold the Jury that as
counsel for both sides would need time
to prepare for summing up, it had been
arranged that the defense should have
all day today, or any part of the day,
and that Mr.. Jerome should begin his
closing address tomorrow morning.
Il will charge the jury on Friday"
Judge Bowling said. "and give you
the case the same day."

MODERN FIRE DEPT. IS NOW
ASSURED, SAY CITY Fathers

At the meeting of the Board Of
Aldermen Monday night, an ordi-
nance to put the fire department on a
paid and first class basis will be in
troduced.
When Alderman-at-Large Voor-
hees was seen by NEWS reporter,
and asked just what the board would
do in the matter, he said that, for
some time, they had been thinking
over, the plan Of having a paid FIRE
department, and the blaze last night
showed them the necessity for quick
action.
He said that the ordinance to make
the department paid one would be
introduced Monday, and that it would
provide for a chief, who should re-
ceive a stated salary and be on duty
at all times. and engage In no other
business.
An assistant chief. is also proposed.
who should only act when the chief
was out of town, or could not attend

scrfbed in the NEWS a few DAYS
ago. This system is furnished by the
Gamewell people and will cost only
$225.
Mr.. Voorhees,, when asked how
much the new department would cost.
said that about $4,000 a year more
than the present department would
pay for it,-and that the council feels
confident that this would easily be
made up by the reduction Of insure
ance rates in this city; also that the
new system would cost the property
owners only about 81 more per year
In taxes, and that they were sure that
no property holder would complain
about the improvement.
AS to who the chief and his assist
ant would be, Mr.. VOORHEES, could not
say, nor could he tell the salaries to
be paid. No candidate for firemen
can be more than forty years old for
admission to the department and all
must pass a physical examination.

TEDDY WOULD GUST TIMOTHY.
New York's Politician Famous for
Vest and PantalOOns.

Information comes from Washing
ton that the president is displeased
with Timothy L. Woodruff of New
York, formerly lieutenant governor,
as chairman of the republican COM
mittee of that state, and that ar
rangements are being made to have
him dropped with one of those ia
nous and aforementioned dull, sick
ening thuds. But can it be that the
president fully realizes what he is
about? Mr. Woodruff has the repu-
tation of being the owner of more
than one hundred waistcoats of diff
ferent patterns and two pairs trous-
ers for every day in the month, while
his collection of neckties would put
to shame all of the rainbOws and
peonies and tiger lilies.e Can the
president really wish to PUNK such
an individual into the political
Slough of Despond? Mr.. Woodruff,
according to the information, is not
active enough to suit the president.
But how can a man be active. with so
many clothes to look after?
