JEROME DECLARES
EVELYN IS LIAR
Prosecutor Says All the Other Wit
neSSeS Tried to Tell the Truth
But That She Didn't Make
Any Great Ef-
fort.

White Plains, n. Y, Aug. His
chair touching that of Jerome and
his face pale with determination to
show no emotion under the storm of
invective he evidently expected,
Harry X. Thaw this morning listened
to the final arguments in his appli-
cation for release from the Mattea-
wan asylum.
Speaking of the witnesses in the
case and their bearing under cross
examination, Jerome said he thought
all had done their best to tell the
truth except Evelyn Thaw.
"T think this girl deliberately and
Intentionally falsifed," ne said, "for
l have no doubt she told of her in
jury at the hands of White to her
husband"
Jerome summed up the family his
tory of the Thaw family by saying
the whole family showed a peculiar
ity and that anyone would say: We'll,
you would get a pretty rickety sort
of child from that family"
Jerome maintained that Susan Mer-
rill's story of receiving large sums
ftom Thaw and of his living with
women at her house had been unre-
futed. He detailed many wild acts
of the prisoner, and called, attention
to his love OF the dramatic, which he
said received its strongest Illustration
in the shooting of White.
Referring to Mrs. Thaw's attack on
him in a pamphlet he said he saw in
that the same color which runs
through her sons behavior.
He asked the court to disregard 4
the testimony of DR.. Evans, the Thaw
alienst, and concluded by saying: 1T
seems to me not safe to turn this
man loose until there is ample oppor-
tunity to submit him to a medical eX-
animation every day for a long per-
iod."
Attorney Morschauzer, counsel for
Thaw, in his argument urged the
court to consider only the evidence
introduced during the present pro-
ceedings. He reiterated that If Thaw
had even a latent trace of insan ty
the horrors of NatteaWan would have
brought il out. He claimed that in
cidents of Thaws early life have been
greatly exaggerated and said that
similar results might be obtained
from the boyhoOd pranks of any man.
He declared that although his life
had been raked for evidences of in
sanity, there was a period of four
teen years when no erratic acts had
been found.
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw issued a
statement this afternoon, assailing tn ,
alienists of the state and declaring
that Drs. Hirsch, Pritchard, Flint and
Mcdonald had no regard for their
oatsIs and that they testified as Je-
rome directed

Of the Town IN Their
Fight Against
Saloon.
bound TO MAKE
DRY TOWN OF It
Residents OF Resort Won't Permit
Liquor Traffic to Get
Any Sort OF Hold
Within or Near
the Town.

Santa Fe, n. NJ, Aug. Judge
John r. McFie, in a decision handed
down yesterday evening in the case
of j, p. Dunlavy against j. d. Hunter
and l.. II. Mullen, made permanent
the temporary injunction issued some
time ago, restraining the defendants
from establishing a saloon on the out
skirts of Mountainair Judge McFie
held that the census taken to deter
mine whether Mountainair had 100
inhabitants, as required by the law
before a saloon license can be issued,
must be of the same date as the Ii
cense issued.
This decision terminates the con-
troversy brought about by the effort
to establish a saloon just outside the
limits of Mountainair after the towns
people had prevented the establish
ment of one within the town limits.
The people of Mountainair, deter
mined to prevent the sale of liquor
within or in the immediate vicinity of
their town, asked permanent injunc-
ton, and the courts decision today is
another victory in their campaign to
eliminate saloons from the town.

MINER EXHIBITS
TELlUR|UM SPECIMEN
Valuable Discovery Has Been Made
in Sangre de CrtstO range Near
Santa Fe.

Santa Fe, y. NJ, Aug. ID. c.
Alard, a well known mining man,
has on exhibition today in this city
specimens of tellurium taken from
his mine in the Sangre de Cristo range
near here. Tellurium is the only
acid that carries valuable metals, and
in this instance it carries gold an /
lead. Analysis shows it to contain
IS per cent lead, 32.4 per cent tel
lurium and per cent gold. Investi-
cations on his claims shows there IS
an abundant supply available.
The claims were staked and filed
by ID. c. Allard in 1899 and already
over forty thousand dollars has been
expended in developing the mines, al
though none OF the metal has been
disposed of. One shaft has been
sunk that measures 22J feet and the
tunneling that has been done has
opened up about three miles of III 2
metal and there is no telling just
how much of the ore there really is,

HALO OF BIhhS
IS TORN AWAY
Wireless Declared of no Value In
Case of Shipwreck Until Furth-
or Perfected.

san Francisco, Aug. THE haIO
of heroism which has hovered about
the head of Jack Binns. the wireless
operator. since the sinking Of the
steamship Republic in the Atlantic
ocean several months ago was torn
away by r. =. Schwerin, vice presl-
dent and general manager of the Pa
cific Man steamship company. In
cidentally Schwerin made the state
ment that wireless telegraphy virtu-
ally Is useless in eases Of shipwrecks.
THAT story that Jack Bnns oper-
ated his wireless instruments by stor-
age battery after the collision be-
tween the Republic and the Baltic
is buncomb," said Schwerin. 1T re-
quires motors 10 run the wireless ap-
paraJus and steam TO run the motors.
When the water entered the Repub-
lies engine room. the wireless was
useless and II was impossTSl for Binns
TO have operated his wireless appara-
tus after that. l don't Know OF
single instance when the wireless has
contributed to the safety OF vessel"
Schwerin made this statement in
response to a question whether the
Pacific Mail steamship company
would install wireless. He declared
Il would not be installed untn further
perfected.

CONTENTS READ
IN SECRET SESSION
Court Heard Alleged Charges
Against OfflCers Defendant
In Present Hearing and
May Make Them
Public.

Annapolis, Aug. 7.--Letters from
Mrs. sutton to the navy department,
said to contain startling statements,
were read today in secret session of
the court of inquiry that is investi-
eating the death of Lieut.. Sutton.
Mrs sutton is much dissatisfied that
the letters were not made public, and
says she is ready to back up the state
ments they contain in open court. She
will be examined concerning their
contents Monday
The introduction of the letters in
secret session of the court resulted
after a consultation between members
of the court yesterday after argu-
ments by opposing attorneys. Judge
Advocate Leonard offered the letters
IN evidence, saying they contained
charges by Mrs. sutton against off,
GERS of the marine corps who appear
as defendants in this hearing.
Henry L. Davis, counsel for Mrs.
sutton, objected to the reading os
the letters on the ground that they
were of personal nature and were
incompetent as evidence in this case.
1T is inconeeivable that the Judge
advocate should attempt to force Mrs.
sutton into such IA position beforS
this board of inquiry" said Mr.. Davis.
These letters are not offered to as
sst this court in finding out how
Lieut.. sutton met his DEATH they
have nothing TO do with the precept.
That these letters. containing perhaps
6Xtravagant statements of a mother
with a stricken heart over the death
of her son should be read before Il
curious world, Is indeed unique aa1
cruel"
Major Leonard declared Mr.. Davis
had misconstrued the judge advo-
Gates position, and asked that the
lawyers remarks implying bad faith
on his part be stricken from the rec
ord.
Il would have Mr.. Davis remem-
ber," he said, that the hallowrd
grave of a dead son is no more sacred
than the reputation of a living officer
and there are many such regulations
at stake here"
Commander Hood. after consulting
other members of the board of IN
quiry, decided that the letters should
be read today in secret sesson.

HIGH OFFICIALS
MIGHT IATtEViHE
Possibility That Government VIII
Act as Mediator Is Given
Little CredenCe in
Some Quar-
terS.

Stockholm, Aug 7.--Actuated by
sympathy for the strikers throughout
the country, two regiments of Swe-
dish troops mutinied today. One reg
iment is stationed at Falun Falun
and the other at Solleftea. both places
being in the region where trouble
first broke out among the lumber
workers.
The executive committee of the Ia
Dor organizations has decided to call
out all printers. The food shortage
in Stockholm continues a grave men
ace.
Many grave diggers, disregarding
the orders of their union to return TO
work, have rejoined the strikers.
Some OF the grave diggers returned
to, work yesterday as result of ex-
pressions of public opinion
1t is reported that the central fed
Grafton of the trades unions has ask
ed the government to intervene and
bring about arbitration in the crisis.
1t is declared In some quarters, how
ever, that the situation involves too
many great differences to be settled
by the Intervention of the govern
ment.
Some dissension among labor Lead
ers may indicate that action by the
government would be acceptable, but
the leaders for the most parr main
tain the position that there will be
no compromise. The shortage of
food and the increasing cost of living
is felt as keenly by the strikers as by
others, which has resulted in some
instances in strikers returning to
work.

SHE DOES A MANS WORK.

Her latest honor is to be appointed
by Governor Hughes of New York
on a special state commission to in
vestigate the causes of unemploy-
ment. On this commission with her
are John Mitchell, labor leader; Hen
-ry seager, professor of political econ
omy at Columbia university and pres
ident of the American Association for
Labor Legislation; and other indus
trial students. They look to Miss
Eastman for much of their informa-
ton.
Regarding the liability of employ
ers to injured employees Miss Eastman
writes that we must adopt the "prin-
ciple that an employer insures his
workmen in a limited amount against
loss from all accidents in the course
OF work, except those due solely to
the conscious, willful fault of the in
jured. An employer, therefore, would
be liable for compensation to all his
workmen injured. just as he is liable
for wages to all his workmen."

Crystal Eastman, graduate of Vas
sar, is doing mans work, and the
work of a great man.
When she went to Vassar college
from her home in Elmira, n. Y, she
became interested in the course in
sociology. She was one of the most
attractive girls in her class, but she
disregarded all social temptations,
and as soon as she graduated she
went out into the world to find out
how she could nelp to make 1t better.
She took up the work with the Rus
sell Sage foundation.
She went to Pittsburg and studied
the workmen there. She found that
employers were not caring for in
jured employees. BY living in th1
homes of the toilers she gained vast
Information regarding this evil that
shed new light on the terrible condi-
tions which existed in the great city
of furnaces and rolling mills. A
pamphlet which she published on this
theme attracted general attention.

TREE TEACHERS
TO HAVE MEETING
Heads of Forestry Schools Invited tn
Attend Conference With
PinchOt.

Washington, Aug. THE heads Of
ali universities, colleges and schools
in which technical forestry is taught
have been invited by Clifford Pinchot,
United States forester, to attend or
send a representative to the confer
ence on education in forestry which
will be held in Washington in Decem-
Der, In his letter of invitation the
forester says:
Il believe that conference of rep
resentatives of all forest schools and
universities and colleges in which for
estry is taught might be made of
great value to the general progress
of forestry in the United States. rs
well as TO the institutions which teach
forestry, and to the forest service
which employs so many of their grad
yates. and which is vitally interested
in the best training of foresters. Such
conference might well consider the
objects and methods of forest in
struction, the organization and stan
dards OF educational work In the field
Of forestry, the coordination of the
work of different institutions, and the
needs of the forest service and other
employers of forest graduates.
II hope you win find it possible to
be present or to send a delegate to a
conference of this kind, which, with
the concurrence Of the institutions
concerned, will be held in Washing
ton December 80 and 81, 1909"
From all over the country the plan
has met with enthusiastic support,
letters of acceptance having been re-
ceived from nearly every institution
to which the invitation has been sent.
