THE THAW TRIAL

New York. Jan. 24.-A binding snow storm. which swept New York today. caused the first serious interruption of the second Thaw trial. It put an embargo on practically all shipping in the lower bay and prevented the steamer Adriatic from reaching the dock.
 Aboard the liner are four physicians and a trained nurse from Europe. whom LittletOn declared are important witnesses ard whose testimony he de- sired to place on record before pro pounding a hypothetical question to the three experts who will swear that when Thaw shot and killed White he was mentally deficient. he did not know the nature of the act, or that the act was wrong.
 The request for an adjournment to Monday vas made on the opening of tine court and was granted by Justice Bowling. Littleton promised to have his long hypothetical question ready immediately after the few remaining witnesses os cact have testified on Monday and unless Jerome's cross eX- animation Of the exoerts is uneXpect- edly long the defense will rest on MOn- day.

 Edward A. MOseley, secretary of the interstate commerce commission, is very much in favor of the Knox bill. In discussing it he said:
 By lawyers who heard the decision of the supreme court this bill of Sen ator. Knox is said to completely cure the fault found in the law that was declared unconstitutional. The Knox bill is in line with the senator's ac- tiOn's heretofore. He has always been heartily in sympathy with efforts to ameliorate conditions surrounding labor. While attorney general he in- troduced an innovation by which the United States was allowed to intervene in a private suit to sustain the validity of a statute. That case was what is known as the Johnson case and the action of the department of justice, of which Senator Knox was then the head resulted in having the statute declared valid and practically revived. His ac- tion then resulted in the enforcement of the safety appliance act and recent statistics show that thereby deaths and injury to employees engaged in train service and in coupling and un- coupling cars have not increased, while other accidents have largely increas- ed |"

Savings Bank will fight the eXtraditiOn pro- ceedings and not return to the United States until every means of defense in the country has been exhausted.

 1t is known that he recently declar- ed that he was not guilty of a single case of forgery. The authorities how ever have been unusually active in preparing for every emergency.

to prosecute Steiwer criminally but take a civil action instead" contend ed Heney. "I believe it will be rele- want. especially if in the letter Full ton said he was authorized by Hall to notify Steiwer to that effect"
 Judge Hunt agreed and Steiwer continued with his testimony on the Fulton letter. This letter Steiwer tes- tified was received prior to the time Hall began his civil suit against the Butte Creek company.
 After the Butte Creek people were indicted for conspiracy. Steiwer said Fulton sent to him and requested him to bring all the letters that had passed between them. This Steiwer said he did and Fulton selected from the as sortment only the one relating to the agreement of Hall. What Fulton did with the letter. Steiwer said he did not know. A letter from Hall to Steiwer, written Dec. l9. 1907, was introduced. In this Hall wanted to know the atti- tude of Hendricks as there was some talk that Hendricks might testify against Hall. Pressure was being thought to bear or Hendricks to that end. Hall said Hendricks might try to testify against him as to conversa- tions of other things that had never occurred in the hope of a light pun ishment or immunity
 of course" wrote Hall. he will only get in a worse predicament and commit more serious crime than the one for which he has been indicted and for which he will be more vigOr- Ously prosecuted because Heney will not be here to protect him"
 George NBrownell former state sem ator and republican leader was the star witness in the case this afternoon. Brownell related that at a meeting at Salem between Hall, Senator Fulton and himself in 1903 it was agreed that Brownell should succeed Hall at Unit ed States attorney, that he had the promise of the late Senator Mitchell to support him in his race Tor office. The witness said he expected to be ttricked in the matter.
 Brownell told of other political in- trigues and of later writing a letter to the Oregon delegation withdrawing from the fight in favor of Hall, after the latter had told him insinuatingly that Inspector Green of the interior department was looking into his record and had asked Hall to present certain matters to the grand jury connected with his acknowledgement as notary of certain signatures which Hall said was forged and that indictment meant political death.

Heney Seeking to Connect Senator Fulton
 With the Conspiracy
Missing Letter ts One of the "Inmunes" in Which
 It Might be Shown That the Senator Had Been Inn properly Interested

Portland. Jan. 24-In the Hall-Mays conspiracy case, Prosecutor Heney en- deavored this morning through eX- State Senator W. w. Steiwer, to con meet United States Senator Fulton with the case. According to the con tention of the prosecution Fulton saw John T. Hall on behalf of Steiwer and eXacted a -romise from Hall that civil proceedings should be brought against the Butte Creek Live Stock and Lum- Der company instead of a criminal transaction against the individual members Of the incorporation. The prosecution contends that Fulton wrote Steiwer telling of the arrange ment with Hall but this alleged letter is not in the possession of the govern ment.
 Steiwer testified toda- that Fulton had requested him to bring all cores pondence between them to Portland. that while here, Fulton selected this particular letter and either destroyed it U- still has it in his possession Hcncy clicited the statement from Steiwer that Fulton had not attempt cd to recover the communication until after SteiWer, other federal officers and settlers, had been indicted for conspiracy.
 Steiwer in brief. testified that at the suggestion Of one of his partners of the Butte Creek company. H. H. Hen dricks. then United States Commits sioner. and the official before whom the fraudulent homesteads were taken for thn company he came to Portland and sa=- Hal Steiwer up to this time had supposed that enclosing govern ment land was proper as long as the fences were on private property. This Hall tod him, was not so. Steiwer next saw Hall during the senatorial contest of 1901. Hall told Steiwer to take down his fences enclosing gov ernment land, and Steiwer heard nOth- ing more from Hall until 1903, when another senatorial race was on. Stei- wer was supporting T. T. Geer, and Hall was supporting Fulton. On the last night Steiwer first swung from Geer to H. w. Scott editor of the ore gonian. Later he became one of d half dozen of the legislature who came to the Fulton column and enabled Full ton to win. This act forms the alleged political obligation of Fulton to Steiwer
 Heney asked Steiwer if he had re- ceiVed a letter from Fulton during 1903. The witness replied that he had. Judge Webster objected to this as ir- relavent.

New York Last Night Engaged In Digging
 Itself Out of the Snow
The Sudden Change of Weather Creates Intense Suffer- ing and Taxes to Their Utmost the Provisions Which Had Been Made for the Poor.

New York, Jan. 24.-Ncw York to- night is digging itself out of d foot of snow so unevenly divided that while exposed, unfrequented spots like COney Island. have been blown bare. the thoroughfares of millions are left piled high with drifts that impede the progress Of man and beast and in the more open sections have tied Up street cars and vehicles. Mercifully. the snow was accompanied by a moderate temperature and in the early stages was welcomed by the greater part of the 35,00O unemployed men of the city All who sought employment found it readily at good wages. The street cleaning department required 10000 shovelers. the traction companies as many more and thousands of others earned many dollars from household CTS. Tonight the charity societies had their hands full. The BOwery bread lines extended tonight, blocks further than at any time siis winter. At an early hour t was said that the supply of food would not nearly meet the need. The free lodging houses are packed. and the Salvation Army and kindred organizations are working heroically to minimize the effect of the sudden shift from spring to freezing weather.
 During the day thermometers regis tered from 26 to B above. followed by a gradual decline toward midnight. A number of fatalities are credited to the storms account. One man frOze to death near a lodging house from which he had been elected. A Grand street merchant succumbed to heart disease after battling with the snow and wind, and in Woodlawn cemetery special policeman died while digging a grave. 4 civil war veteran was an- other victim of heart disease caused by exposure.
 Except for the subway in which there was only one brief delay, and the elevated roads, where trains with one exception ran regularly though under slow speed, the transportation facili- ties of the city and suburbs were well nigh demoralized throughout the day The surface cars were paralyzed in all the BOroughs.
