POLICEMEN AND OTHERS ON STAND DECLARE THAW WAS ENTIRELY RATIONAL THE NIGHT HE KILLED WHITE. New York, March 12—Lining up his forces in rebuttal in the case of Harry K. Thaw District Attorney Je- rome began during the day an en- deavor to lay the foundation for the introduction of the affidavit said to have been made by Evelyn Nesbit in the office of Abraham H. Hummel. He was blocked at every turn, how- ever, by objections from Mr. Delmas, lsading counsel for the defense, and soon switched to the testimony of pelicemen who saw Thaw the night of his arrest and who declared his ac- tions to them seemed to be those of a rational man. Mr. Delmas asked one of the officers it he had not overheard Thaw in his cell say he had heard the voices of women crying out. The officer sald there had been no such statement in his hearing. Police Captain Willlam Hodgins sald Thaw the night of the tragedy seemed to him “more rational than irrational.” He was excused without cross-examination. Warren Paxton, superintendent of the Madison Square Garden, testified that he thought Thaw was rational when he shot White. Thaw’s Manner Seemed Rational. Henry S. Blaise said he thought Thaw’'s actions and manner on the night of the shooting were rational. The light, he said, was rather dim and he could not tell whether Thaw’s face ‘was pale or red, whether his eyes were natural or bulging. Myer Cohen, who was also one of the state’s witnesses on direct prose- outlon, was recalled and sald he thought Thaw’s actions were rational. On cross-examination the witness said the light on the garden roof was bright. Thaw's face was more pale thgn red and “is eyes looked natural. g}smc! Attorney Jerome here called Dr. Rudolph Witthaus to the stand. Dr. Witthaus said he was an expert in the sclence of poisons. He was asked regarding the effect of drugs in wine, but owing to objections by Mr. Delmas ‘was not permitted to answer. James Clinch Smith, a brother-in- law of Stanford White, was next called. He was in the Roof Garden theater on the night of the tragedy and said Thaw chatted with him for several minutes. Mr. Delmas object- ed to the witness repeating the con- versation. ROOSEVELT MAKES PROTEST COMPLAINS OF RECENT ENACT- MENT OF THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE. Bacramento, Cal, March 12.—Gov- ernor Gillette has sent to the assem- bly a message from President Roose- velt complaining that the recent action of the legislature in passing anti-Japa- nese laws would have a most unfortu- nate effect upon the president’s ef- fort to secure exclusion of Japanese laborers by friendly agreement.

Leported Insults to American Minister to Nicaragua. Washington, March 12.—State de- partment officials are emphatic in their denial of reports that President Lelaya of Nicaragua forced Mr. Merry, the American minister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and San Salvador, out of Nicaragua and offered him insults of e serious nature at the time of Mr. Merry’s visit to Managua, the Nle- araguan capital, three weeks ago. It is admitted by the state department that Mr. Merry was not able to effect a settlement of the Weil claim, but the department has no knowledge of any friction between Mr. Merry and President Zelaya. As dispatches are received almost daily from Mr. Merry, who is now in Costa Rica, the depart- ment belleves it would have been fully advised had there been any trou- ble between the Nicaraguan president and the American minister. Senor Corea, the Nicaraguan minis- ter, called upon Assistant Secretary Bacon at the state department to dis- cuss Central American affairs. He stated positively that there had been no friction between Minister Merry and President Zelaya such as report- ed and in confirmation he had a dis- patch stating that Mr. Well, the con- cessionaire, whose case is supposed to have led to the reported quarrel be- tween the president and the minister, denied that any such thing had hap- pened.

HOTING AT LOUISVILLE BTREET CAR COMPANY FORCED TO ABANDON ATTEMPTS TO » CONTINUE SERVICE. 1 - CLAIM PROTECTION IS INADEQUATE CROWDS GATHER IN MANY PARTS OF CITY AND CAUSE ALL & SORTS OF TROUBLE. Loulsville, March 12.—The first at- tempts of the Louisville Railway com- pany, whose employes are on strike, to run its street cars by nonunion men were accompanied by demonstrations in many parts of the city. A few cars sent out early were permitted to make thelr runs without interruption, but as the day progressed there were several outbreaks. At Thirteenth and Main two cars bound to the city were stopped by sev- eral hundred men on their way to work, the two conductors forced to re- turn the fares to the passengers, re- verse the trolleys and take the cars back to the barns. At Fourth and C streets the strike sympathizers surrounded a car and stoned the motorman and conductor, injuring the former, Edward Pierson, seriously. The police dispersed the crowd. " At Fourth and Hill several cars were stopped and their airbrakes quickly put out of commission. The crowd threw stome stones through the windows of one or two cars before the police arrived. Police in Great Demand. There were numerous calls for the police in widely separated sections of the city, teamsters aiding the strike sympathizers in blockading the tracks in several places. The railway company announced that no cars would be run after dark. The company usually operates 600 cars, but only 100 were running. The Teamsters’ union of this city has Indicated its willingness to order a sympathetic strike at once. The union of electricians has not yet d. cided whether it will order a strike, although the street car men B they will come out at the proper ti The officials of the street railway company claim the police protection is entirely inadequate and say they will put their own guards on each car if the city officials do not act. The rioting continued to grow worse as the day advanced and shortly after noon all attempts to run cars were abandoned. ALARMS FRENCH PUBLIC. Ease With Which Electricians Threw Poputation Into Confusion. Parls, March 12—The city has re- sumed its normal aspect. All the elec- tric plants are working. The public is alarmed at the ease with which:a few hundred workmen at the instigation of the confederation of labor are able to throw the population into confusion and the newspapers print editorials demanding legislation which will prevent workmen engaged in supplying a public necessity from striking. It is pointed out that the electricians, now that they know their power, may not rest content with pres- ent conditions. It is pointed out as a significant fact that the strike com- mittee is still holding meetings. REMORSE CAUSE OF SUICIDE. Young Man Who Killed Mother Ends Life in Jail.

HAS BEEN ORGANIZING ASSOCIATES DEPARTMENT DECLARES, HOW- EVER, THAT THIS IS NOT CAUSE OF ACTION. ‘Washington, March 12—Confirma- tion was given at the postoffice de- partment during the day to a dispatch from San Francisco stating that Hugh M. Shaug, a railway postal clerk who has figured conspicuously in the or- ganization of the Brotherhood of Rail- way Postal Clerks, a new organiza- tlon, has been given three days to show why he should not be dismissed. It was said, however, that the charges upon which this action was based in- cluded disobedience of orders and starting up of discontent among the clerks. It is stated the department has not gone into the question of the brotherhood itself, but is dealing with Shaug as an individual because it was shown that he presented a certificate of illness and spent thirty days in soliciting financial contributions from among the clerks to influence legisla- tion favorable to them in direct viola- tion of the order of the president, and also that as a resuli of his interviews with postal employes the service had become more or less demoralized. The Brotherhood of Railway Postal Clerks, it was stated, had no connec- tion with the National Association of Postal Clerks. which has received the sanction of the department. SOUTH DAKOTA LIQUOR LAW. Federal Supreme Court Upholds the County License Fee.

Delamater was prosecuted for selling whisky in Potter county, S. D, as an agent for a Minnesota house and when he was found guilty atlacked the verdict on the ground that the law being an interference with interstate commerce is unconsti- tutional. The supreme court failed to accept that view and affirmed the ver- dict of the state courts imposing a fine of $250. LAW BLOCKS POLITICS. No Corporation Official or Agent May Make Campaign Speeches. Des Moines, Magch 12.—The discov- ery has been made that the Peterson bill, prohlibiting any corporation, either by its officers, agents or representa- tives, from contributing any money, service or other thing of value to a political campaign, may result in keep- ing Governor Cummins and most of the state officers off the stump. As campalgn services are considered things of value it is said that these officials, who are stockholders in vari- ous corporations, cannot take the stump without being liable under the law. It would also affect nearly every member of Iowa’s congressional dele- gation. SETTLERS GET NEW LAND. Two Townships Opened in Duiuth District.

At certain times in the year, and particularly a month or two before the Christmas holidays, new books come into newspaper offices for review faster than any one man can possibly read and review them with justice ei- ther to himself ‘or the books. He glances through them hastily, unless they are by noted authors, gets a sallent point here and there and “writes them up” as best he can. Thén he forgets all about them. . “A friend came to me one day and expressed his gratification at the way I had written up a new novel by a comparatively unknown author,” said the literary editor of a Chicago paper. “‘You expressed my idea of it exact- 1y’ he said. ‘It s one of the remarka- ble books of the year. The plot Is ab- solutely unique, the treatment of it is bold and original and the dialogue crisp and delightful. It will make a great hit”’ “‘Well, I sald, ‘i it is as good as all Yhat T'll read it’”—Youth'’s Com- panion. How the Gems Rank. In the gem kingdom the ruby, the diamond, the emerald and the sap- phire constitute “the big four” and take precedence—and in the order nam- ed—of all other precious stones. The pearl Is of course not a stone, Ithasa standard of its own. The expert test of the gem is its color, its degree of clearness and its perfection of cutting. Upon the last depends its brilliancy. In the diamond the “brilliant” cutting holds first place. The other stones are cut altogether differently—they are crystallized In different systems—in fact, they differ in another respect, the diamonds being a mineral carbon, the finer ruby (the oriental) a variety of corundum, the emerald a varlety of beryl and the sapphire a colored va- rlety of corundum. What is technical- ly known as the “step cut” is an es- sentlal to bring out the fire of the last three.—New York Tribune. How the Pulse Varies. The human pulse has rather a wide range, but the general average may be put about as follows: At birth, 140; at two years, 100; at from sixteen to nineteen years, 80; at manhood, 75; old age, 60. There are, however, great varlations consistent with health. Na- poleon’s pulse is said to have been only forty-four In the minute. A case Is also related of a healthy man of eighty- seven whose pulse was seldom over thirty during the last two years of his life and sometimes not more than twenty-eight. Another man of eighty- seven years of age enjoyed good health and spirits with a pulse of twenty- nine, and there is also on record the curious instance of a man whose pulse in health was never more than forty- five, and, to be consistent in hig incon- sistency, when he had fever his pulse fell to forty Instead of rising, as is usual. Wrestling For Exercise. ‘Wrestling, the “microcosmos of gym- nastics,” is a fine form of bodily exer- cise for those who enjoy hard muscular work after the tedious business hours of the day and may be practiced— adapting it to circumstances—by the man of a ripe age as well as by the boy of ten or twelve, especially the form known in this country as catch- [* as-catch-can (which is about identical to one form of Swiss wrestling). I ex- changed the Greco-Roman (or Ger- man gymnastic) style for this one about twelve years ago, and I was then over forty years old, and still en- Joy it much if my opponent is of my own weight or a little lighter and if it 18 deprived of its potential roughness by & gentlemanly spirit of the part- ners.—New York Medical Journal. Precautions of Old Time Doctors. It was formerly the practice among physiclans to carry a cane having a hollow head, the top of which was gold, pierced with holes like a pepper box. The top contiined a small amount of aromatic powder or of snuff, and on entering the house or room where a disease supposed to be infectious prevailed the doctor would strike his cane on the floor to agitate the powder and then apply it to his nose; hence all the old prints of physi- cians represent them with canes to their noses. A Marriage Warning, In Germany all marriages have to be contracted before a register previous to the ceremony in church, which is optional. The law requires public notice to be given of the match, and this notice 1is generally exhibited in & box hung up at the town hall or oth- er municipal building. The following official announcement appeared lately in a small town: “From today there is fixed at the town hall the new box, in which all those who intend to enter the married state will be hung.” Not Labor Lost. The safe bore a paper stating that there was nothing of value within. Nevertheless the burglar blew the re- ceptacle open, finding the statement correct. “Well,” he remarked, gather- ing up his tools, “It’s worth something to ascertain that there are still people who tell the truth.” — Philadelphla Ledger.
