Thaw Springs Surprise.

New York, Jan. 25.-Thaw sprung
his promised surprise on Jerome and
other attorneys representing New
York state today when, upon ar
raignment before Justice Davis of the
criminal branch of the supreme court
on charge of conspiracy, his attor-
nev. II. B. Stanfield, demanded that
the prisoner be sent to Bellevue hos
pital for examination as to his san
ity.
Jerome sprang to his feet and OPP
posed the motion, and IN legal bat
tie that followed Thaw's counsel free
ly intmated that Jerome had broken
the word he gave the United States
supreme court.
The argument ended when Justice
Davis sent Thaw back to the Tombs
and announced that he would take the
question under advisement for two
or three days.

ROCKEFELLER ON
WITNESS STAND

New York, Jan. 25.-Sixteen detec-
tives today were detailed to mingle
with the crowd at the inquiry of the
federal commission on industrial re-
lations for fear some members of the
|. w. w. or some other radical would
throw bomb while Jock d. Rookie
feller, Jr., was on the stand.
New York, Jan. 25.-John d. Rocke-
feller was the first witness today
when the federal commission on in
dustrial relations resumed its inquiry
into the Rockefeller, Carnegie, Russell
Sage and Baron De Hirsch foundations
and relations between capital and la
Dor.
"As respects the question of recog-
milton or non-recognition of labor
unions in Colorado, my attitude has
been in conformity with the views
I have expressed relative to respon-
sibility of stockholders, directors and
managers" said Rockefeller. "Hir-
ing and dlscharging men, and franz
ing agreen ents as respects the same,
are function ] regarded as rightfully
belonging to the management and not
to stockholders or directors. The Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company has been
managed on this principle. The de-
cision of the officers with respect to
recognition of the union was reached
without consultation or communication
with me, and | had no knowledge of
their decision until the strike was
declared"
Rockefeller strongly defended his
attitude in the Colorado strike, but
advanced the opinion that it was just
as proper for labor to organize for
its own protection as for capital to
do so.

FIRE LAST NIGHT
CAUSES SLIGHT LOSS

Fire caused by the ignition of a
Christmas tree at the home of P. j.
Ehmke, Fifth and Vine streets, short
ly before 8 last night, caused damage
estimated to exceed $50 The blaze
was extinguished before the fire de-
partment arrived.
According to the story told to the
firemen, Ehmke's children had been
allowed to light the candles on a tree
that had remained in the house since
Christmas. The candles had been
burning only a short time before
their flames were transmitted to the
dried out and highly inflammable tree
In an instant the whole tree was
ablaze, the flames spreading rapidly,
attacking the furniture and interior
finishing. Prompt action on the part
of the family resulted in a check of
the flames before the fire truck ar
rived.

New York, Jan. 25.-Four persons

New York City practically slid to
work today.

This litigation was begun in this
county, but several years ago it was
represented to Judge Cole, just as
summer was coming on, that within
ninety days the whole litigation would
be settled, and that that settlement
could be much more conveniently at
tained in Los Angeles than here. The
settlement, however, was not reached,
and probably will not now be until
the formal transfer of the CD. prop
