JEROME BLOCKED STORY
ON CONFIDENTIAL PLEA
Invoked Law Of Secrecy Between
Doctor and His Patient With
Good EffeCt--Insdnity viii
be Only Plea For
Defense.

New York, Jan. 14.-The direct
case against Thaw Is finished and
today the defense began its efforts
to show that Thaw was not mentally
responsible when he shot White.
That Thaw's attorneys will rest their
case on the insanity plea is shown
in the opening address of Littleton
yesterday. He promises to show that
Thaw had been insane since his
youth and that insanity ran in the
families of both the mother and the
father. John T. Deemar, the Thaw
family physician, was the first wit
ness called today.
Other physicians who attended
insane members of the defendants
family were called bat by invoking
the rule of confidential relations be-
tween the doctor and a patient,
Jerome succeeded in blocking some
Intended testimony. One witness was
a former teacher of Thaw at the
Wooster university, who declared
the boys conduct so long ago as
1885 was irrational.

HAVE THEY MONEY
LEFT IN FRANCE?
Mrs. Burdet Bound Over to Grand
Jury In Sum of S25O--Mr. Bur-
Diet Not Present-Charge
Is Securing Money
Under False
Pretenscs.

Mrs. l.. J. Burdet, wife of the man
who claimed to have had a large
sum of money left him by relatives
in France, was bound over 10 the
grand jury today In the sum of $3.50
by Justice Craig on a charge of Sc
curing money under false pretenses.
Her husband. it Is said, cannot be
found, although similar charge
would be made against him.
B. IL. Davis, the complaining wit
ness. charges that the Burdets secur-
ed about 5000 from him on personal
notes. for the purpose of paying ex-
change on the money which had
been left them in France and a por-
tiOn of which was said to have al
ready reached a Denver bank.
The money, It is said. was secured
from Mr.. Davis at various times in
small sums. 1t is alleged that the
Burdets failed to secure any money
from France or Denver or anywhere
else although they state that they
have money as soon as they can Sc
cure possession Of 1t.
In evidence of their statement they
produced letters, purportlng to have
come from the French embassy at
Washington and from the French
consular agent at New Orleans. They
claimed to have received telegrams
from French officials notifying them
that a large sum of money had been
left to them in the old country and
these documents were their chief as
set in securing money here accord
ing to the charges made against
them now.
No one appears to know where MT.
Burdet has gone. The case promis-
es to be Interesting II 1t goes to
trial as the Burdets say they can
subtantiate their story while Mr..
Smith wants his money back.

WATER BOUNDARY
COMMISSION MOVES
Changes Headquarters From FL Paso
to San Antonio.

El Paso, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE head
quarters of the International (water)
Boundary commission are to be
transferred soon from Ell Paso to
San Antonio, Texas. This fact was
admitted this morning at the Mexi-
can headquarters of the commission
in the Masonic building.
The only reason which was assign
ed for the move was that San An
tonic would prove a more central To-
cation for the commission, especially
now that so much work is beine
done along the lower Rio Grande.
When the change is made the
headquarters of both the Mexican
and American commission will b'
moved.

Terrible Scenes at Fire.
During the time the fire depart
ment was inactive. the rescuers sue
ceeded in partly clearing the door
ways and many unfortunates were
dragged from the burning building.
Most of them were scorched so that
they were scarcely recognizable.
Many of them pleaded with their
rescuers to kill them. One child was
brought from the building whose
head had been crushed to a pulp. A
woman was dragged into the street,
her body barren of clothing and SO
bruised and cut by the feet of the
stampeding crowd that it did not
look human. Every bone in her
body was broken. Another woman
was crushed out of all semblance to
a human. out of the midst of the
struggling mass of humanity at the
doorway. man forced his way
clutching portions of garments he
had torn from the bodies of others
He was raving mad; his hands and
face were terribly burned and he
was screaming like a maniac. 1t
took several men to subdue him.
There were many such scenes.
Mothers ran here and there
through the streets crying piteously
and searching for their children. The
bodies of the dead were laid in win
rows in the street as fast as they
were recovered.
Special trains were run to this
| physicians and nurses.
Homes Used as Hospitals.
The homes of people near the
scene of the fire and for several
blocks into the residence portions of
the city, were turned into temporary
| hospitals and morgues. Some of the
! scenes enacted in them, beggar de-
scription.
1t is not known accurately how
many lost their lives in the fire for
it is probable that many were burn
ed to ashes and no trace of them will
ever be found. Few of the tNdies re-
covered can be identified and it is
proposed 20 hold a pUbiic funeral
service for the large number of the
/ blackened corpses which none can
| claim for their own with any GER
J tainty.
An official investigation of the fire
| is now being made.
At 4 o'clock, conservative esti-
mates place the number of killed at
from 125 to $50.
The town officials think that at
! least $50 lives have been lost Only
some fifty bodies have been recover
ed and not half of them have been

WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST.
Some Alleged Labor Papers Have A.
ready Sold Out to Labor Crushers.

We were surprised to receive most
flattering offer from representatives of
the national republican committee for
the publication of an editorial de-
nouncing Mr.. Bryan and fiaying Sam
uel Gompers. for his present stand.
The offer was turned down as coldly
and contemptuously as the editor
knew how to do the job.
The space to be used and the sug-
gestions made meant that this paper
could draw a check in payment for
the dirty work amounting to about
$50. To the editor this looked like a
lot of money for the publication of a
few lines. but the thought of accept
ing the bride never once was consid-
cred. Twelve other papers in the
United States were to receive the
same offer of silver to do the Judas
act, and we are watching to see If
they sell.-Joplin, Mo-. Trades Union

Sam Proves He Is a Dismal Failure
as Calamity HowIer.

In 1906 when labor made an effort
to secure the defeat of Congressman
Littlefield in the Second congressional
district Of Maine, President Roosevelt
wrote a letter saying that the sever
ance of Mr.. Littlefield's services from
congress would prove calamity to
the country. Now that Mr.. Little
field will no longer be in congress, is
it unfair to infer that the calamity is
impending, since the country will be
deprived of his valuable (?) services
to that body?
Wonder how many "calamities" Our
people will have to endure because
some congressman hostile to the
rights and interests of the masses will
be told by their constituents to "stay

appealed to, and not their stomachs,

affect our welfare? God forbid that
there shall ever come time in the af-
fairs of our beloved country when the
right of the workmen to earn live
lihood will depend upon their casting
their ballot for any particular man or
party. Such shackles of slavery must
be forever removed.
There is grave danger in the cry Of
full stomachs' if this man is elected
and empty ones if the other man is
given power" Those who would
ccerce, intimidate and enslave the
workman by such process should be
silenced, once and forever, on such
Gamnable propositions. In this twen-
tieth century intelligence must settle
all affairs of state. Nothing else. 1t
is certainly true that there have been
thousands of empty stomachs among

crafts during the past year of de-

TAFT AS A uNloNlsT.
His "Union" Membership is One Of

Ills union membership IS one OF
the Campaigns Big Jokes.
Although he has nowhere in his
speaking campaign exhibited any
strength as popular leader, MI. Taft
did not descend to demagogy until,
upon making his tour of Ohio last
week, he delivered succession of
piteous appeals to organized working
men. This begging for labor votes,
not upon any broad principles, but as
a matter of personal consideration to
himself, was spectacle. Nothing bet
ter describes it than the old Negroes

member of organized labor, he inten-

ance. Everyone must judge for him
self whether Mr.. Taft's demagogy was
elevated or lowered by the farcical
fact upon which he seriously enlarged
that his trade union membership
had been conferred upon him by an

reward of merit for his amiable quail

THE QUESTION OF THE HOUR
Shall Individual Liberty Be Preserved
or Shall It Be ThrottIed?


or Shall It Be Throttled?
That is the question of the hour.
1t is one that not only applies to the
workman who carries a card of men,
bership in a labor union, but is one
that applies and must appeal to the
unorganized, for those conditions that
affect the liberty of the union work
men must assuredly affect the rights
and privileges of the unorganized
wage earners. In the campaign that
is before us corporate interests are
again attempting to deceive, coerce
and frighten the workingmen of our
country into voting for those canIi-
dates whose election will mean a still
greater interference with their indi-
vidual liberty, which can only be
maintained by collective action, and
which they are constantly seeking to
destroy. One of the strongest weap-
ons is the appeal to the workingmen' )
stomachs, which is resounding the
country over The workingman is
told, ELECT this man and elect that
man to Office and you will surely carry
full dinner pail"
Is it not about time, brothers, that
the intelligence of the workmen was
