bers Of the defendants family listened to
the evidence for the first time.
ThaW's Talk With Smith.


Immediately after the first witness had
concluded his testimony, all witnesses
except medical experts were excluded
DR.. John T. Deemar. the Thaw family
physician. was in the courtroom. and
will be one Of the first witnesses for the
defense.
AS the second witness for the prosecu-
ton, Mr.. Garvan examined James Clinch
Smith. who last year testified in rebuttal,
having been abroad when the state pre-
sented its direct case.
In great detail Smith described the entry
Of Thaw and his party. With the de-
fendant were Mrs. Evelyn Thaw. Thomas
McCaleb and Truxtun Beale. Mr.. Smith
repeated his conversation with Thaw.
which began by the latter saying he
could get only three seats on the root
and intended strolling himself.
Mr.. Smiths testimony followed that
given at the first trial almost identi-
cally. Thaw asked him IL he was doing
thought certain stocks were very good.
He asked Smith If he was going abroad
In the summer, and discussed with him
the accommodations on several we'll
known steamers.
'Thaw also asked me If I knew any
of the members of his party" said Mr..
Smith. and wanted to know il I re-
membered case In California in which
Truxtun Beale figured with another
man and two women"
The witness described what he saw
of the killing, saying he tried to get
to Thaw. but fireman had thrown
his arms about the defendant. Three
shots were fired. The witness did not
den that the victim was his brother-in-
law.
Smith Somewhat Mixed.
cluded in half an hour. and then Mr.. Lit
tleton undertook his cross-examination.
The witness said Stanford White married
his sister. but he did not see the architect
very often. He never had gone to roof
garden with him. He had written down
his conversation with Thaw after the
ory.
The witness said Thaw did not wear an
overcoat while he was talking to him. but
had one thrown over his arm as he en-
tered the garden. Smith testified at one
time that as soon as Thaw left him on
the garden roof he looked In the direction
where Stanford White sat. Later, he said.
ne did not know White was on the roof
until some time after the shooting.
Mr.. Littleton demanded to know why
the witness had sworn Thaw was looking
at White when he did not know White
was in the place. Mr.. Smith shouted IN
response that he was testifying to the
best of his ability and in view of subse-
quent events. After saying he had i'm
mediately formed q mental note as to
where Thaw was looking, the witness
said later he had not reached that con-
clusion until after he knew who the VIC
tim was.
Smith said that previous to the night
OF the tragedy he had never heard of any
difficulty or strained relations between
Thaw and White. Mr.. Littleton referred
frequently to the transcript of the wit
ness testimony at the first trial and
asked impeaching questions based upon
it. At one point Mr.. Smith said the rec
ord was in error.
Smith was still under cross-examination
when the luncheon recess was ordered.

nomination of judge; and as soon
as B. F. Wright of Park Rapids
also announced his candidacyfor
the same nomination, the knocker
let up slightly in his attack on
Judge Stanton, and, transferring his
hammer to his left hand, proceeded
to WELD several sledge-hammer
blows in the direction of Mr.. Wright.
He visited Park Rapids and other
points, and openly boasted Of the
fact that Mr.. Thwing had $4,000,
which could be spent in the cam
paign to defeat Mr.. Wright; that it
was too bad that Mr.. Wright was
running that he( Mr.. Wright could
hardly expect to be nominated when
a man with such backing was op-
posed to him. 90
This sort of talk became tire
some to the supporters of Mr.. Wright,
and they began to tell the public
little of what Mr.. Thwing's manager
was saying.
Mr.: l'hwing has never openly
denied any of the statements alleged
to have been made by his Bemidji
manager and we take it for granted
that he is thoroughly in accord with
the kind of campaign his manager is
putting up. -
Recently, when the Pioneer insinu-
ated that in view of the boast of the
manager" as to Mr.. Twing's fnan-
cial condition, it would be interest
ing to note the ~latter's expense
account, to be filed after the
primaries, the manager got exceed
ingly wroth and threatened to horse
whip the crippled manager of the
Pioneer; and now, this gentleman
and the press bureau are trying to
tell the voters to pay no attention to
the dirty campaign being waged
by Mr.. Thwing's enemies. s
This is all rot. The manager, 3"
of his own accord, started on a
crusade of knocking and villifcation,
and it i'll behooves him to refer
to the ATTACK made upon Mr..
Thwing by his personal enemies"
Mr.. Wright has made clean cam
paign, and the manager" is reading
defeat in the signs of the supporters
which are coming from every side
to Mr.. Wright.

William Loeb, Jr., secretary to

Mr.. Loeb was reticent on the
subject of politics. He could not
be induced to make any comment
except to say that the campaign
had not advanced sufficiently to

of opinion. He believed though,
that the United States was safe as
far as the national republican ticket
was concerned.

FOREST SERVICE LIKELY
CAUSING CONTROVERSY.
State Swamp land Case Is Probably
Not Yet Concluded. For est Ser
vice 1'Butting In

The controversy which is now
being waged between the State Of
Minnesota and the officials of the
interior department. relative to the
rightful possession of the so-called
swamp" lands, on the Minnesota
national forest reserve and other
government land in northern Min
nesota, has brought out some inter-
esting information relative to the
true typographical character of the
lands which the state has been
contesting for possession under
original swamp land grants.
The bureau of forestry, or forest
service, has taken an active part
in opposing the states claim to
much of the land claimed as swamp,
and has made investigations, Through
its employees, of the true character
of the land. ~. =: :
Eugene S. Bruce, who was the
first superintendent Of the Mime.
sofa reserve, and who went over
muchq-o the land included in the
swamp land grant claimed by the
state, made a report to Clifford
Pinchot, chief of the forest service
claiming that large portion Of the
swamp land claimed by the state
was not swamp land at all. but was
in reality, for the most part, yalu
able timber land and did not come
under the general term Of swamp
land.
The report that the interior depart
ment will re-examine these lands i.
probably true, and it is more thar
likely that the reports of examina
tions conducted by the forest service
will be accepted by the interior
department as being authentic il
character. ~

The methods being used in an
attempt to defeat Mr.. Thwing's
nomination and election for the
judgeship have caused us to think
that the same are not inspired by
any candidate against him, but are
in the interest of a few who do not
have a regard for the kind of a
campaign which must be carried ON
and who are bent on defeating Mr..
Thwing by any means in their power.
It must be assumed that when a
man aspires to the office of judge he
must be qualified for the position,
and if he is to be fair as Judge it
be demanded of him that he must
be fair in the waging of his
campaign.
The voters must advise them
selves of the general qualifications
of the candidate for the position,
and they will vote according as they
think the one voted for has the
best qualifications. Nothing should
be allowed to interfere with their
free choice, and the attacks made
upon Mr.. Thwing made by his
personal enemies are insults to the
intelligence of the voters.
The purpose of these attacks is
clearly apparent, and it is to the
credit of Mr.. Thwing that neither he
nor his supporters have been led
into a retaliatory plan of campaign.
Mr.. Thwing is before the people for
election on his qualifications, and
the judges of judge want facts not
personal abuse. 1t is regretted that
the certain few above mentioned,
who represent themselves, wholly,
have put. into a campaign which
would be otherwise open and above
board, their attempt to obscure the
issue, and in that we are confident
we express the will of the majority.
-Bagley Independent.
The above is fair sample of the
rot" which is being issued from
Mr.. Thwing's press bureau, which
it is said is operated in Bemidji by
Mr.. Thwing's manager -.
When Judge Stanton was appoint
ed to succeed judge Spooner, resign
ed, this manager at once attempted
to organize ''hammar brigade" and
proceeded to knock" Judge Stanton
right merrily. The knocking" did
not injure the Judge, but did disgust
people who had previously been
lukewarm friends of the 'knockee. )"
This policy was continued, and
the knocker began an active cam.

Officials of the Kentucky
Distilleries and Ware
house Co. to Move
to Louisville.
HARD BLOW TO FRANKFORT
HARD BLOW TO FRANKFORT

The persistent rumor that has been
afloat for some time that the Ken
lucky Distilleries and Warehouse
Company would shortly :. move to
Louisville, was confirmed last night
by one or the high -oficialS or { the
company 1T was ascertained thaethe
will move within the next
thirty days, and 1t rs possible that
the removal will take place before
that time.
The action Of the X. d. & W. Com
pany is said to be due to the fact
that Louisville is more central for
their business, as there is such a
large number Of distilleries within a
close radius of their new headquar-
tiers.
While it is known that several Of
the high officials will go to Louisville
with the company, it is said that Mr..
George 3. Berry will remain in
Frankfort az the head of w. A. Gaines
|& Co., which concern does not belong
to the X. D., & w. Co. It is also
certain that quite a number of the
minor officials, as we'll as most of the
employees, will remain in Frankfort.
The company employees about fifty
people, and the removal will throw
many men and women out of employ
ment.
: The Frankfort branch of the X. d.
& w. Company was established about
ten years ago because of the immense
business carried on at this point.
The fact that there are eight distilIer-
les within radius Of eleven miles Of
Frankfort, a majority of which are
in the combine caused the determine
ton on the part of the New York
officials to locate here, and 1t was re-
garded as fixture until few months
ago. when rumors began to circulate
that a removal was contemplated
1t is said that Mr.. John P. Hanley
and, Mr.. Ed. E. Albeit are among
the officials who will go to Louisville
with the company.
