TESTIMONY BEGINS.
Stanford Whites Brother-in-Iaw Tells
of Madison Square Tragedy.

New York, Jan. 13-James Clinch
Smith, brother-in-law of Stanford
White, an eye witness of the shooting,
which caused the latter's death and
the most important witness to be offer
ed in the states behalf against Harry
K. Thaw, told his story to the Thaw
jury today after Assistant District At
torney Caravan had declared in his OPP
ening address to the IL men in the box
that Thaw's act on the roof of Madison
Square Garden the eventful night in
June 1905, was no more nor less than
a ''premeditated, deliberate and cow
ardly act.
Mr.. Smith repeated his testimony as
he gave it in rebuttal last year, but
he was subjected to a more thorough
cross-examination than at the first tri-
al. Mr.. Littleton, the chief counsel fol-
the defense, declared that he would ov-
erlook no point on any of his examina-
lions and consequently the presenta-
lions of the states case will occupy
more time than was expected.

state makes a reduction in their fare
the tariffs must be revised to show the
fare from every point within that state
to every other point on the system.
The different states did not all fall in
line with the two cent rate at one time
and most of the work which was done
was undone again. The work has been
especially heavy since the fare reduc-
lions in Kansas and Oklahoma. One of
the passenger department officials a
few days ago stated that the work of
revising the schedules to meet all the
changed condition could not possibly
be completed before January 1, 1909
In the ticket auditing department the

the force is divided.a portion of the clerks

SET THEM GUESSING.
Usage County Paper Boosts H. B.
Miller for Governor.

Politicians were set to guessing to-
day when it became known that the
Usage County Chronicle, one of the
papers most friendly to State Senator
H. B. Miller of Usage county, had
come out with an announcement OF
the candidacy Of Mr.. Miller for the
Republican nomination for governor,
accompanied by a large new portrait
Of Mr. Miller, apparently made es-
pecially for the article.
Mr.. Miller was not quoted as an
nouncing himself but the paper
seemed to assume that he would be
a candidate. The fact that the paper
is closely allied with Senator Miller
makes it appear that it Is an author
lied boom.
J. T. Pringle, former representa-
tive from Usage county, was in To-
peka today. Asked concerning the
situation he said:
''It certainly is peculiar, but 1 know
nothing much about it. Nobody
seems to understand, what it means"
Mr.. Pringle thinks that the coming
session of the legislature will pass a
primary law, and that the primary
election will be held either in June,
or in August or September.
If Mr.. Miller becomes candidate
for governor, 1t might appear that

"Specials, in certain morning news

The object in sending out the story
from Washington at this time appears
TO be to start opposition to the pro-
posed guaranty deposit law.
Governor Hoch said this morning:

said this morning: Governor Hoch

Governor Haskell of Oklahoma which

Senator Long continued:
1.-The two bills which passed the house

materially differ in the manner provid-

beautiful reproduction of "The Pas

lecture was given by a lecturer of

PROHlBITORY LAW GOOD,
U. S. Supreme Court Sustains Kansas
Statute in Durein Case.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The supreme
court Of the United States today up
held the anti-liquor law of Kansas by
affirming the decisions of the supreme
court of that state in a number of
cases, including that of Fritz Durein,
of Shawnee county, convicted of
violating the law. Durein appealed to
the federal supreme court on a writ
of error on the ground the statute
contravenes the federal constitution
because it gives discretion to probate
Judges in granting permits.
The decision was announced by the
chief justice. There was no written
opinion
