Judue's Decision.

The decision, in part. follows;
 "This court is mindful of the criti- cism by many laymen, as well as by many lawyers, to the effect that United States courts have no right nor even the power to decree the invalidity of state. statutes. The argument, or rather the talk, is that the people know what they need and that their representatives In legislature assem- bled alone should determine what stat utes we must have. And when so de- termined and evidenced by legislative enactment, that the courts should not interfere by decree. and thereby thwart the legislative will. In other words. that it Is well to limit the pow ar of executives and courts, but Writ len constitution restraining legislative bodies, is all wrong, and that Grea' Britain has the model government.
 Officers of the state, continued Juoge McPherson, too often decry the power of the nation.
 ..State rights is their shibboleth,' he added.
 "rhe most attractive argument to some avvers of recent days is that the state courts alone in the first instance should mass upon the question as to the validity of state statutes with the right or the defendant party to carry the case TOT final decree to the supreme court Of the limited States. Such arguments are plaus- ible. convincing, to many good people, b,it are so dangerous as to amount 10 heresy It is .be extreme of state rights in a new form.

Jerome Offensive.

MT. Littleton's objections on tho ground of "offensiveness and improprie- ty" frequently were sustained by the court. Mrs. Thaw matched wits against both District Attorney Jerome and his assistant, MT. Garvan, who was everi at his chiefs elbow with new sugges- tions She fenced with tn em as skill fully as she did a year ago, and at times reflected the mood of the district attorney by answering him in voice pitched in as loud a key as his own. The prosecutors pitiless and aggres- sive questions often struck fire and once when MT. Jerome demanded cer- tain things she replied hotly, Yes, II you are using"
 Don't argue with me, madame,'1 shouted Jerome who then had the re- ply stricken from the record. But one new feature appeared in the testimony of the witness.
 This was when she told about Thaw1 swallowing the contents of bottle of laudanum at Monte Carlo in 1904. in ani attempt to end his life.
 
 in New York Thaw had talked of sui- eide his wife declared, and had sug g-j gested that she also sh ould take poison as both their lives had been ruined. Mrs. Thaw said she humored Thaw Ut, the time and diverted his mind. She was out of the room when he finally took the poison in Europe. Why didn't you tell us this at the first trial?' de- manded Mir. Jerome. Because Mir. Del- mas said it might make Harry out too crazy" the witness retorted before the district attorney could stop her.
 Opening of Trial.
 When the Thaw trial was resumed at 1920 o'clock this morning Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was called to the stand to repeat her story of a year ago. District Attorney Jerome immediately renewed his motion of last Friday afternoon that tho public including the representatives of newspapers, be excluded from the court room He cited criminal case tried in Monroe county several years ago as a precedent of exluding persons except those immediately concerned with the trial.
 MT. Littleton, for the defense. said he desired to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the court.
 District Attorney Jerome said he un- derstood Mir. Littleton to join the motion when 1t was made last Friday and did not quite grasp the change of front.
 .I said on Friday" retorted MT. Little ton. that I would like to spare Mrs. Thaw from the gaze of the idly-curiouss

MISSOURI LAW
 DECLARED VOID Judge McPhersOn Gives Decision on Transfer of Suits
RAILROADS ARE AFFECTED
Decision Declares That Law Is Void Because 1t Allows a Resident Com pany To Sue, But Not Non-
 Resident Company.

Kansas City January 2O-Judge Smith McPherson, in the United States district court, here today, declared void and unconstitutional the statute passed by the Missouri legislature in 1907 forbidding foreign corporations from transferring suits brought against them from the state to the federal courts upon pain of forfeits of the charters The application of the Rock Island, Santa Fe, the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado: the Milwaukee and St. Paul, and the Chicago and Alton Railway companies for an injunction to prevent John E. Swanger. secretary of state, from enforcing the law, was granted by the court.
 The Missouri laws upon which to- days decision Is based provide, speci- fically that if any foreign or non-resi- dent railway corporation, created and existing under the laws of any other state, and doing a railway business from any point in the state to another point within the state, shall, without the written consent of the other party, remove case from the state court to a United States court. or shall without said written consent institute any suit against a citizen of the state in any federal court, then the secretary of state shall revoke the license to do business from one point in the state to any other point in the state, either in carrying passengers or freight. And in doing such business shall sub ject 1t 10 a penalty of not less than S2000 and not more than s10.000 for each offence. And such disability shall continue for five years. It Is alleged in this case that complainant is about removing a case, and the secretary will follow that by revolSing it's right to do busi- ness. The defendantseontends that this in effect is an action against the state in violation of the eleventh amendment to the constitution. The complainant contends that the act of 1907 impairs its contract with the state and denies it the equal protection of the laws if enforced

EVELYN THAW REPLIES
 SHARPLY 10 QUESTIONS
Witness Is Kept on the Stand All Day Without Concluding and She Goes Through the Ordeal With Com
 posure-New Fact Shown.

New York. January 20.-Afrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw told her story to- day for the second time. The repetition lacked the vitality of the first recital, but the great crowd Tn the court room where her husband, Harry. K. Thaw is on thial for the killing Of Stanford White, listened in- tently to every word.
 Justice Bowling had ruled that he found no warrant in the law for closing doors against the public and there was a great clamor for admittance from d throng, which hung aboy -linE ali day long. District / .ney Jerome, failing in his move to exclude specta- tors, took occasion when 1t came his turn to cross-examine the witness to bring out all of the details Of the first trial which Mir. Littleton of the defense had omitted on his direct inquiry Of the witness. Mir Jerome also sought to block Mrs. Thaw's testimony in It's entirety on the ground that eonver- sation which occurred three years be- fore the tragedy could not have any bearing on Thaw's mental condition on the night of the homicide. Justice Bowling overruied the objection
 On Stand All Day.
 Mrs Thaw was on the stand all day long and Mr Jerome announced when adjournment for the day was taken that his cross-examinatIon would occupy a greater part of tomorrows s session. Mrs. Thaw's story was broken into bits by constantly repeated objections from the prosecuting attorney. who sought to exclude all details on the ground of fmmatsriallty' The frequent. obiec- tfohssed Justice Rowling to reqiiest Mir Littleton to cut his examination as short as possible. Mir. Littleton took this course only to find that on cross examination MT. Jerome insisted upon reading from last years records near ly every word the witness had then ut tered. He did this under the privilege of framing new questions. Mr. Little ton objected to 1t. declaring that the district attorney, by reading the former testimony in a disagreeable manner, was trying to discredit the witness in the eyes of the jury wh en he could not discredit her in any way by a direct question. MT. Jerome made no attempt to disguise a tone of complete con- tempt in reading the testimony Con- tempt also characterized most of the questions he put to the witness, whom he attacked In the loudest voice he has yet used at the trial. MT. Jerome plunged at once into the more inti- mate details of the testimony and made no delicate choice of words in framing his interrogations.
