DEFENSE SUDDERLY RESTS ITS CASE ADJOURNMENT TAKEN TO PER- MIT PROSECUTION TO PRE- PARE ITS REBUTTAL. New York, March 9.—The trial of Harry K. Thaw was adjourned until Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock after Attorney Delphin M. Delmas had an- nounced upon the opening of court that the defense had concluded its testimony. District A‘grney Jerome stated that he had no winesses ready to proceed with in rebuttal and at his request an adjournment was taken.

Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw was in the witnessroom and when court ad journed she immediately went to the Tombs to await her husband.

It was reported around the criminal courts building after the trial had been adjourned that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had been subpoenaed by District Attorney Jerome to appear as a witness for the prosecution in re buttal.

IREMIER FAVORABLE TO PASSAGE MORE THAN THE USUAL INTER- EST SHOWN IN DEBATE ON THE MEASURE. London, March 9.—“The woman’s enfranchisement bill,” which came up for its second reading in the house of commons during the day and which was introduced by Mr. Dickinson, Lib- eral, although practically identical with the measure Introduced by James Keir Hardie, Socialist, last year, has evoked far greater general Interest. The bill simply provides that women shall have the franchise on the same terms upon which it is now granted to men. The militant tactics of the woman suffragists of recent months and their bold ralds on the house of commons itself, from which on sev- eral occasions they have literally been bodily thrown out and scores of them fmprisoned, have given the question a prominence which it hitherto had not attained. The house of commons was crowded when the debate on the pro- posed measure began, but only women whose good behavior was guarantecd by members of parliament were per- mitted to enter the gallery. All those who were connected with the recent disorders within the precincts of the houses of parliament were specifically excluded and in view of possible dis- orderly demonstrations on the part of the so-called “suffragettes” in connec- tlon with the bill extraordinary pre- cautions were taken by the police to bar the approaches to the house of commons. There were no fewer than sixteen motions hostile to the bill placed on the table, while just prior to the open- Ing of thé debate a petition signed by 21,000 women was presented protest- ing against granting parliamentary suffrage to women on the ground that it would destroy -their influence in their own sphere of work. Premier Supports Measure. After Mr. Dickinson's opening Most Cc 1l-Bannerman, - i | annount ic intention of the govers ave the question to the fic he louse. Per- sonally I' ~he general prin- clple of t:x¢ it of women in the | suffrage. fe frankly stated that he was nou e red with the present bill becau would not enfranchise to the nece: v degree the mass of the working class women and work- men’s Wive He would vote for the bill, however, as a declaration of his opinion that the exclusion of women from the franchise was not expedient Jjustifiable or politically right. The debate was a repetition of the famillar arguments for and against female suffrage and there was a com- plete divergence from the usual party lines, the rejection of the bill being moved by Mr. White, Liberal, another opponent being Mr. Cremer, also a Liberal, while both Conservatives and members of the Labor party were found among its supporters. An at- tempt:was made to closure the discus- sion, but the speaker declined to ac- cept the motion and the opponents of the bill held the floor until 5 o'clock, when the sitting was closed automat- ically. They thus won the day, as this practically kills the bill for the pres- ent session, ON GERMAN TARIFF QUESTION. President Conferring With American Commissioner. ‘Washington, March 9.—Within the coming two weeks President Roose- velt promises to give attention to the German tariff and to the Japanese sit- uation. Already he has had several "talks with Secretary Root and Mr. North, who was at the head of the American delegation which went to i Germany last winter to conduct nego- | tiations with that government on the i tariff question. The detalls of that conversation have been laid before the president and some announcement as to what, if anything, is to be done by this government is expected soon. NEED NOT SHAVE NEGROES. Connecticut Supreme Court Upholds White Barber. Hartford, Conn., March 9.—The su- preme court of the state has just handed down a decision to the effect that barbers in the state need not chave colored men. The decision was reached on an appeal from a superior court decision in Bridgeport by Henry H. Foulkner, a colored man, who brought suit against Thomas Solazzi, a barber-of that city. Solazzi refused 4o shave Foulkner, his defense being that his barber shop was not a place of public accommodation within the meaning of the law. The supreme RENEWAL OF LIQUIDATION 8TOCK MARKET AGAIN THROWN INTO A DEMORALIZED CONDITION. New York, - March 9.—The stock market was thrown into a demoralized condition during the first hour of trad- ing by renewal of drastic liquidation. All quarters of the list were affected and stocks seemed to be poured on the market from all available sources with no demands to check the downward plunge in prices. The most sensa- tional movement was in Missouri Pa- cific, which slumped 5%, owing to doubts over the maintenance of the dividend. Union Pacific was sold in | enormous volume and United States Steel stocks were also-under severe pressure, the common breaking through 40 and the preferred receding to within a shade of par. Delaware and Hudson dropped 7, Conmsolidated Gas 4, Chesapeake and Ohio 2%, Read- ing 234, St. Paul, New York Central and Brooklyn Transit 1% and many other active stocks between 1 and 2 points. The spasm of liquidation Rad sub- sided before the first hour had expired | and the market became much quieter and rallied some from the low level. The . extensive covering movement amongst the bears caused a material recovery in prices and established some substantial net gains. The de- mand at this level fell away, however, to insignificant proportions. The bears gathered their forces for re- newed attack, which centered upon United States Steel, carrying that stock down 1%, to below 39. Penn- sylvania was also readily sold at a decline of 15.

Roosevelt by Acclamation Iif He Will Accept. Washington, March 9.—There was some third term gossip around the ‘White House during the day. It was started by Senator Depew, who said: “President Roosevelt undoubtedly means what he says, that he will not accept another nomination at the hands of his party; but conditions may arise where he could not refuse. If it was gnown that he would accept he would be nominated by acclamation.” Representative Champ Clark of Mis- souri, a Democrat and warm friend of the president, said: “I believe that the president was honest in his statement on the night of the election in 1904 that he would not accept another nomination. I be- lieve, however, that if he can be con- vinced that unless he is nominated some reactionary would be nominated he would accept.” DECISION AGAINST M'CLELLAN. Court Refuses to Deny Recount in Elgction Contest. New York, March 9—By a unani- mous vote the appellate division of the supreme cowrt has decided against Mayor George B. McClellan in his legal fight to prevent quo warranto proceedings for a recount of the votes cast in the New York city election of 1905. There was added to the decision a recommendation that the question involved he passed up to the court of appeals for a final ruling. The appellate division’s view is that tho action of a former attorney gen- eral, Julius M. Mayer, in refusing to institute the recount proceedings, did not serve as a bar to such action on the part of the present attorney gen- eral, who undertcok the suit at the request of William R. Hearst. Forced to Flee in Night Attire. San Francisco, March 9.—A fire in the Standard hotel on Third street caused a loss of $40,000 and endan- gered the lives of 150 lodgers.
