THE THAW TRIAL.

10 New York yesterday Mr.. Jerome,
representative Of the people, made a
strong plea that justice be done In the
case Of Harry Thsw. II was no blind
appeal for the vengeance Of the law that
Mr.. Jerome addressed to the jury, but
ever and always there was the note OF
fairness, even at times OF mercy. Dur
Ing bis speech be said:
'1f Harry Thaw, after hearing that
awful story from the girl he loved, bad
gone out and killed the man, ho might
not have justified himself In q court Of
law, but he certainly would have found
justification in some higher forum.
"But the sknlking coward did not
kill. Years go by, aud Stanford White
does other things that makes him hate
him. Finally he finds White when his
head Is turned away, when there Ia 20
protection near, aud then be shoots.
Oh, the miserable man who sits here in
his sanity, who sat here last year in bis
sanity and twics allowed his wife's shame
to be spread upon the records OF this
court. A bald, worthless pervert, that's
what he is. To my mind this whole
trouble comes from two degeuerstes quar-
rsliDg over a woman. And the woman
played one sgainst the other. That vas
all she knew; all her training In the
world had taught her,"
Mr.. Jerome said Stanford White got
his just deaert'; that he believes all OF
Evelyn Thaw's story except the drug
gipg incident, but that Thaw WAS sane
Ehen be shot the architect.

Agriculture was about fifty-fcur hundred
dollars, which about covered the ex-
penses Of field parties and publications.
The Virginia Polytec hnic Institute sP-
p,opriated Eve hundred dollars for the
continuance OF the work from April TO
September, 1906.
The above work, done by the State
he University OF Virginia and the Poly
technic Destitute embraces sill the Work
Of a geological survey character done ID
this State. The great importance OF the
work is apparent, and it also must be
anparent that work of this sort should
be undertaken and carried on by the
State. A geological survey is not the
work, entirely, OF college or university;
the State should handle 1t in such way
through such instrumentslities, as Will
best promote the work and the future
interests OF the State. Whatever Ia done
it shoult be essentially State institu-
ton, entirely controlled by the State.
Where the site Of the work should be
located is matter for the legislature to
determine, after careful consideration
Of the subject. We express DO opinion
ss to whether the site should be located
at the University of Virginia or at the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute; that the
work should be done, and should be
done 10 the best aud fullest manner,
there can be little doubt. None Of the
institutions of the State can set up any
claim, that is valid, that the site should
or should not be located at such institu-
ton. They are all institutions OF the
State, and 10 a matter such as this have
no rights except such as the State might
grant, and it is the duty of the legis!s-
ture to the people, in fixing site to Tx
it where, 10 their judgment, the wors
can best be done, but in any event thu
State should keep control and general
direction OF the work.
We trust that the legislature 10 III
wisdom will amply provide for this work,
aud carry it forward 10 such a manner
as will bring to the attention OF th'
world the great resources Of this State
aud we feel sure that If the work il
properly done it will result in vast bene
| fit to this State.

New York, Jan. d. Harry K. Thaw
may know his fate before sundown TO-
night. Justice Bowling began bis charge
to the Jury (Which is voluminous) i'm
mediately after court convened, and as
soon as It Is completed they will go to
luncheon and be at once locked up to
deliberate. While there is the usual
wide speculation as to what the verdict
will be, none of those directly concern
ed are bold enough 10 hazard even a
guest, realizing that thers are 80 many
complications, caused by the conflicting
evidence in this case, that it must neces-
ssrily be-cloud judgment.
Taking up the direct question Of Thsw's
sanity or insanity, Justice DowliugIsaid
"The law prtsumes every individual
to be sane and upon the presumption the
prosecution may rest without proof st
the outset. Bot where the defense Is
insanity and evidence Is given tending to
establish that defense the general ques-
ton is presented whether the crime was
committed by person responsible for
bis acts, end the burden Of establishing
sanity is upon the prosecution; and II
upon the Whole Gaze any reasonable
doubt remains in your min1 as to the
defendants sanity, he is entitled 10 the
benefits of that doubt and to be scquit-
ted on that ground" he thea quoted
the code as showing that even though
Thaw's mind was not perfectly
suund,, he must not be acquitted
unless laborirg under such defect
Of reasoning as to render him
incapable, Of realizing the nature and
quality of his act. This must be
thoroughly demonstrated, Justice Dow
Ing ruled, before verdict Of not guilty
could be rendered. II Thsw was ment-
ally capable of entertaining criminal
intent 1t was not possible under their
oaths, the jury was informed, for them
70 declare him not guilty. The judge
riddled ths Irresistible impulse" theory
and partial insanity al a defense, de-
clsriDg the entire matter rested on
whether Thaw knew when he shot
White that Ii was White that he was
shooting at and White that he had de-
signed to injure or to kill."
Justice Dowling concluded bis charge

the jury soon afterwsrd.
The jury, through Foreman Gtenmels

personally waived his rights and were

The Presidents Special Message.

Washington, Jan. 3l.--The President
today sent his special message to Cor
gress in references 10 interstate matters,
antitrust laws. compensation To TN
ployees injured in the government SER
vice, iujuuctions In labor cases, g..
The message, In the main, is recaPitu-
laiion of former recommendations by
the President, and contains some cor.
respondsnce and references To msny
recent occurrences in The commercial
world. Among other things be says:
''Tbe recent decision Of the Supreme
Court in regard TO the employers liza
bilily act, the experiences OF the To-
terstate Commercs Commission and OF
the Department of Justice 10 en-
forcing the Interstate commerce aud
antitrust laws, and the gravely sig
niicant attitude toward the Law and
its administration recently adopted
by certain heads of great corpora.
tonp, render 1t desirable shas there
should be additional legislation as re-
CARDS certain OF the relations between
labor aud capital, and between the grest
corporations aud the public. The Su-
preme Court bss decided the ewpIoyerS
liability law to be unconstitutional be.
cause its terms apply to employees
engaged wholly in intrastate con
merce as well as to employees en-
gagged in interstate commerce. Az re-
CARDS the employers liability Law, l adj
vocate its immediate reenactment, linz
iting its scope so that /. shall apply
only to the class of cases as to which the
court says 1t can consIitutionRlly apply,
but strengthening Its provisions within
this scope. Interstate employment being
thus covered by an adequate national
law, the field of iutrsstate employment
will be left to the action Of the several
States. also very urgently advise that
8 comprehensive act bs passed providing
for compensation by tie government to
all employees injured in the government
service.
II again call your attention to the
need Of some action 10 connection With
the abuse of iuiunc!ions in labor cases.
As regards iDjunctious, can do little
but repeat what have said 10 my last
messages to the Congress. Even though
1t were possible, l should consider 1t
most uuwiss to abolish the use of the
process of injunction. But there ia no
question in my mind that 1t has some
times been used heedlessly and uDjustly,
and that soma of the injuuctions Issued
iD6ics grave and occasionally irrepar-
able wrong upon those eDjoined.
"Not only should there be sction on
certain laws etfscting wsgeearners; there
should also be such action on laws better
to secure control over the great business
concerns engaged in interstate commerce,
and especially over great common carriers
The Interstate Commerce Commission
should bs empowered to pass upon any
rate or practice on its own initiative.
Moreover, 1t should be provided that
whenever the Commission has reason TO
believe that a proposed advance in a
rate ought not to be made without
investigation 1t should have authority TO
issue an order prohibiting the advance

shall be the man OF his choice, those
policies will be continued. The reading
OF the message was followed with I'M
usual interest in both House and SEN
ate. Included with the printed copies,
as presented to Congress, we're sppen-
dIcas, referring to the alleged rebate
transaction of the Standard Oil Com
PAM and the Santa Fe Railway CON-
psny. 1t made q pamphlet of eighty
pages, and containing upwards OF 3d.
600 words.
"This is Roosevelps bid for the re-
publican nomination for President."
This is the substance If not the exSct
method of the expression many Senators
used 10 privately exchanging comments
upon the Presidents sensational mes
sage on corporation abuses and admin
istration attacks, read to them before
crowded galleries today.
Reports received from the northwest,
northeast, show very low temperature
10 those section. In Manitoba the mer-
cury dropped last night to to s5' below
zero; 5aranac Lake, So below and st.
Paul 50 below.
Scores of republican representatives
expressed an opinion after the reading
OF the message that President Rooss-
valt will be renominsted for President
a. Chicago next June. Several went
81 far as to say this message shows be
