E W TO THE DAIRY MAID
Mechanical Mixer Fakes Poetry
from Rural Life and
a Sob.

Are all our poetic traditions to be
~olanketed by a prosaic department report?
Many works OF ambitious pastoral literature
are attributed to the secretary Of agricul-
ture and his patience in consentinE to be
the official father OF much Of this verbal
production is altogether a credit to his
philosophic patience with those who are
acquiring, by academic observation, their
first lessons in farming. But the calling
Of the farmer should be productive. not
destructive. He is next to the first source
OF wealth, even If railway magnates build
their economic kingdoms upon the tolls of
transportation, and, mayhap, upon the
temporary control OF the freight Itself.
Moreover, even the mechanical harvester
has its song that huns among its human
helpers.
Out OF the west, however, comes the re-
port that milking machines are found to be
a practical success. Such is the hard.
unitarian announcement. No poet could
make verses out Of a milking machine.
There is no appeal to the Imagination in
the substitution Of an air pump and a sue
tlon lube for the deft fingers and bronzed
forearm of the faithful lass who at dewy
morn or dusky eve persuades bossy to
yield her rich tribute 10 persuasive pressure.

and revolutionaries and anarchists made
common cause in Old Catalonia. The with
drawal of troops for the campaign in
Africa left less than 5000 men in the gar
rison at Barcelona, and the mob, after
committing all sorts Of excesses, including
the burning and sacking OF churches,
everywhere erected barbados in order to
hold their positions.
ARTILLERY Rakin Streets.
BIARRITz, Near Spanish frontier, July
IS.-The desperate condition of the affairs
in Barcelona is shown in reports received
here from the disturbed city. These show
that the revolutionary element holds the
upper hand. The government troops, find
ing themselves insufficient to retake the
revolutionary stronghold, have been forced
to abandon several quarters, leaving the
revolutionists in control. The streets Of
the city are barrlcaded with huge piles Of
stone and earth. Furniture and plsnks are
heaped in these barbados to the height Of
the first story, The arrival Of reinforce
ments SO urgently needed by the govern
ment is retarded by the destruction Of
railroads and avenues of communication
leading to the city. The revolutionists are
armed with muskets, knives and revolvers.
They have an effective Organization and
hospital equipment.
With the arrival Of one regiment, which
the government succeeded In getting
through ySSterday, the Inhabitants were
notified 70 Keep within doors for the sue
ceeding fourteen hours. The peaceably in
clined needed this, while the artillery of
the government forces raked the streets
where barricades rave been erected, caus-
Ing great havoc and in some cases demol-
fishing them.
The government is seeking to relieve the
city by sea, now that the land communica-
ton for the troops is Interrupted. All
available ships are being hurried to Bar
celona.
Whether there is an Interior political
purpose behind the revolutionary uprising
throughout Catalonia is not yet clear.

.THAW SHOWS SOUND MIND

Fire of Questions.
woMAN's STORY IS CONFIRMED
Prisoners Former Attorney Gives
Testimony About Payments of
Money to Suppress Evil
dence of Girls.

WHITE PLAINS. N. Y, July 29.-Dis-
trict Attorney jerome completed his cross
examination of Harry Thaw today, and
tomorrow Thaw's attorney will take him
in hand for redirect examination, Thaw
carried himself well during the day. lie
showed some temper at one time, but
quickly checked himself.
Yesterday Mr.. jerome devoted himself
to the prisoners life history. Today he
based his questions chiefly upon various
documents, letters and memoranda, which
he produced in surprising numbers.
The one he found most useful was a
tablet containing twenty-siX sheets of
foolscap paper on which were pasted a
strange variety of newspaper clippings and
scraps of manuscript. Thaw identified 1t
as something he had prepared and sent to
Dolphin M. Delmas, his chief counsele dur
ing the first trial, for use in preparing his
closing speech to the jury.
Some Peculiar Suggestions.
Some Of its contents were strange enough
TO cause suspicious of the authors sanity,
but these bits Thaw invariably explained
by saying they were letters written to him
and his family by persons whose kind in
t~entions were perhaps better than their
mental alance.
Most Of 1t was rubbish" he added, but
some of the letters contained ideas 1
thought Mr.. Delmas might use.'
Thaw's part OF the compilation showed
him as a man of many tastes and inter
ests. In 1t he quoted passages of scripture
on sins against the young, and referred
to the dragon tales in Percy's Relidues
for striking SMILES regarding Stanford
White. He culled from his -v0luminous
correspondence the most striking express
sions that might be put to the same use,
Delmas' opinion of his clients sugges
tons was indicated by the fact that he
turned the carefully prepared sheets over
to the committee OF alienists before which
the prisoner appeared during his first
trial. Mr.. Jerome got them from this
source.
Mrs. Herrin Again.
While Thaw was, of course, the center
figure at the hearing today, there. were
two other witnesses-Susan Merrill. the
former New York lodging house keeper,
and Clifford W. Hartridge, Thaw's former
attorney. Mrs. Merrill went further into
details regarding Thaw's alleged abuse OF
young women at her house. She admitted
having had dealings with Stanford White.
Hartridge testified to the truth of parts
of her story. He said that the money
he turned over to the woman, which she
said was used 10 prevent the girls Thaw
whipped from making trouble, did not
come from Thaw himself. He said that
he had received SlO3, 900 from Mrs. William
Thaw, but had used a large part of it for
'various purposes connected with his en-
ployment by the family.
Evelyn Thaw was an interested auditor
In court today, but her husband on the
stand ignored her presence. She naturally
looked at him, but he resolutely refused
to look at her. Indications are that the
hearing will last at least a week longer.

run began. Perfect road conditions made
the going easy. and while several penalties
were announced tonight, these occurred be-
cause the drivers preferred to repair their
cars and take penalties rather than wait
until tomorrow, when worse roads are
anticipated.
The Mason car was penalized 1882 points
for repairs made when 1t plunged into a
ditch 100 miles west of here. The Glide
car. which sustained a broken axle yes
terday, was given a penalization OF "a
points. This was 215 points for hardness
and thirty-two points for labor. Other
additional penalties announced are: White
Steamer, No. IA, four points for repairing
mud guard; Jewell, No. Ill, two and six
tenths points for repairing broken gasoline
feed pipe.
Glide car, No. 10, has not reached here
tonight and will receive additional penalties
tomorrow. Premier car. No. SO, sustained
a broken spring today and will be penalized
later. Mason car, No. 112, will also be
penalized later for hardness tonight.
These additional penalties leave the fol-

When the cars reach Kansas City to-
morrow night and the actual road work is

the final scores viii be announced until

ranging from 9S to 15 degrees in the
shade.
Tomorrow's run is PIP miles and is the
