His Hard Luck. “Can’t you find any work at all?” “Plenty, sir, but everybody wants references from my last employer.” “Can’t you get them?” “No, sir. He's been dead twenty- eight years.’ "—Illuatrated Bits. A Bitter Taunt, The other day at cards two London ladies quarreled long and arduously over a payment of the gigantic sum of 15 shillings. At last the loser flung the money down on the table, saying, with concentrated venom, ‘There, that will pay for your next dinner party.” Not What He Meant. Judge—You are accused of having beaten this person cruelly. The Ac- cused—Well, I had to beat him to make him do his work. He is an idiot. Judge (severely)—You should remember that an idiot is a man like you or me. HNAL PLEA T0 JURY Attorney Delmas Concludes His Argument in Thaw Case. INSANE AT TIME OF KILLING Closing Words of Defendant’s Counsel an Almost Direct Appeal to the Un. written Law, Recognized by Courts All Over the Union, New York, April 10.—D. M. Delmas, Harry K. Thaw’s leading counsel, has concluded his address to the jury. He began immediately after court con- vened at 10:30 o’clock and spoke con- tlnuously until 12:30 p. m., when he asked for a recess, completing his ad- dress late in the afterndon, His entire time the second day of his drguinent was devoted to analyz- ing Harry Thaw’s mental condition and the progression of his feelings against White as shown by the testi- mony of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Mrs. Willlam Thaw. He declared Thaw undoubtedly was insane on the subject of Stanford White. Mr. Delmas detailed at length the effect of Evelyn Nesbit's story on | Thaw's mind, reading extracts from the evidence of Thaw’s wife and that of his mother and commenting on it a8 he proceeded. He declared that with Evelyn’s story working in his mind Thaw could think of nothing else. Her story haunted him always and he felt that he had a mission to fulflll. Mr. Delmas again bitterly de- gounced Stanford White and declared zhat “Thaw had snatched the girl vom the old lecher who saw in her but a toy to gratify a moment’s lust and then be cast aside to go her way down the paths of fallen women.” He called the jury’s attention to the fact that as late as May, 1906, Stanford ‘White had told May MacKenzie he would yet get Evelyn back. He ple tured Thaw's excitement on hearing this and said it was cause for the young husband to lose his reason. In concluding his remarks on the mental conditlon of the defendant at the time of the shooting of Stanford White Mr. Delmas sald: Direct Appeal to Jurors. “The man who had brooded on this subject for three years, who had pic- tures of dreadful horrors haunting him by day and in the stillness of the night could not be human to retain the calmness of his reason. Gentle- men, place yourselves in his place; plcture to yourselves the horrors he went through and do justice to Harry Thaw.” Mr. Delmas then described the events of the night of June 25, when Stanford White was killed, and in proof of his contention that Thaw was insane reviewed exhaustively the tes- timony adduced on this subject. Re- ferring to Thaw's actions immediately following the shooting he said: “Thaw stood as a priest might have stood after some ceremony of sacri flcial offering, saying ‘All is over’ and dismissing the congregation. He turned his pistol barrel down to indi- cate to the audience that there was no danger to them.” Mr. Delmas’ closing was an almost direct appeal to the unwritten law. He referred to it as the species of in- sanity which made the American man believe his home and the honor of his wife and daughters to be sacred— that specles of insanity which had been recognized by courts in every state of the Union. Mr. Delmas was interrupted in his closing by an objection by Assistant District Attorney Garvan. His plea was in, .however. He said he left Thaw's fate in the hands of the jurors, with every confidence that he would be acquitted, under that golden law— the oldest law of all—the foundation of all laws—“do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” COMPEL HIM TO ANSWER Commerce Commission Will Proceed Against Harriman. ‘Washington, April 10.—The inter- state commerce commission has de- cided to Institute proceedings in a circuit court in the state of New York to compel E. H. Harriman to answer the questions he refused to answer when he was testifying before the commisston. The proceedings will be taken as soon as the special counsel for the commission, Messrs. Kellogg and Severance, can prepare the neces- sary papers. Nine of the Crew Missing.

FAILS TO SEE PRESIDENT Mrs. Von Claussen a Caller at the White House. ‘Washington, April 10.—Mrs. Ida M. von Claussen, who made a complaint to the state department against Unit- ed States Minister Graves at Stock- holm because he declined to present her to King Oscar, was at the White House during the day in an effort to obtain a personal interview with the president to state her case. This was refused her, whereupon she left with the officials a letter of which she fur- nlnheg 8 copy to the press. In this to make sure that she is of sound mind before she proceeds further in this case,” for she knows well, from previous reports, that when President Roosevelt is cornered he has a habit of appointing such committees to help him out of his difficulty. Therefore, not caring to lay herself open to fur- ther criticism, Mrs. von Claussen de- mands that such & committee be ap- nolnted at once, otherwise she will call th;{ixperts In herself. en Mrs. von Claussen appeared at the White Houge Secfetar‘;'p Loeb delegated his assistant, Mr. Forster, to talk to her, though it was evident that she was very much disappointed. No reply will be made by the White House officials to the letter she left for the president, VARIOUS REQUESTS MADE Many Delegations of Gubans Call on Secretary Taft.

A delegation from the Planters’ league called upon the secretary and expressed the hope that no elections would be held at an early date, saying that such a process would prevent them from obtaintng money from the bankers. A committee of insurgent generals’| called and asked for the removal of the municipal officers of the cities of Havana, Marlanan and Batabano, claiming that ex-President Palma il- legally suhstituted the present officers for re"ular!y elected officers. RESULT OF TWO-CENT FARE Railroads May Abolish Commutation Passenger Rates. Chicago, April 10.—Commutation or suburban passenger. rates in Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania may be abol- ished In the near future. This is the principal subject to be considered at the coming meeting of the Central Passenger association, comprising all the railroads in the territory bounded on the east by Buffalo and Pittsburg and on the west by Chicago and St. Louis. The reason given by the railroads for abolishing the cheap rates now made for monthly and twenty-five ride tickets to points within about thirty miles of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pitts- burg, Buffalo, Indianapolis and other cities is that they are obliged to make 2 cents a mile the minimum as well as the maximum rate in Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania in order to avoid a loss they cannot afford in passenger revenue. SMATHERS KEEPS THE CUP Jury Decides Major Delmar Won Big Race Fairly. New York, April 10.—Elmer E. Smathers will retain the gold cup won by his horse, Major Delmar, in a race with Lou Dillon in' 1904 as the result of a verdict returned by the jury in the snit brought by the Memphis Trot- ting assoclation.

COMMINS Pres:denflul Ticket Favored in Administration Circles, BOTH FOR TARIFF REVISION towa Governor Sald to Prefer Second Place With.La Follette, but It Is Not Belleved He Would Decline the Pro- posed Combination. Washington, April 10.—Taft and Cummins is the Republican pational ticket belng “touted” here by the ad- ministration for next year’s campaign. The agricultural West is looked to, according to friends of President Roosevelt, to supply the nominee for vice president and Governor Cum- mins’ commanding position in Iowa, one of the leading granger states, which has also In its ranks leaders such men as Shaw, Dolliver and Hep- burn, which makes him a potential possibility. Taft and Cummins are both tariff revisionists and it would appear from the gossip of administration politicians the revision of the tariff schedule wilk be made a leading issue in the Repub- lican platform if the Roosevelt ele- ment of the party can control the next convention. Another phase of the talk concern- ing Cummins’ possible selection to be Taft's running mate, always granting that the president shall be able to force Taft’s nomination, is the fact that Governor Cummins and Senator La Follette of Wisconsin are firm friends. It is true, however, personal friends of Governor Cummins say that he ‘would prefer to have La Follette nom- inated for president and be his run- ning mate than have Taft of Ohio the first choice. But all who know Cum- mins feel that he can hardly afford to decline second honors whether Taft or La Follette should be named for the presidency by the convention. THIRD TERM FOR ROOSEVELT Lower House of Minnesota Leglsla- ture on Record. St. Paul, April 10.—The lower house of the state legislature has gone on record In favor of a third term for President Roosevelt by the adoption of the following resolution, which was adopted almost unanimously: “Whereas, By his wise initiative and courageous leadership the present president of the United States has become prominently identified with the cause of political, social and busi- ness reform; and, “Whereas, The great work of which -he has been and now is the most dis- tinguished exponent is yet unfinished; and, “Whereas, With sicgular unanimity the great body of the people of the United States, without regard to polit- ical afiiliation. has explicit confidence In his great . ability, unselfish patriot- ism and unswerving fidelity to his ex- alted trust; therefore, “Be it resolved, by the house of rep- resentatives, the senate concurring, That the best interests of the general government and the successful estab- lishment of the great public measures which have been inaugurated by the present national administration de- mand the nomination and re-election of Theodore Roosevelt to the pres- idency of the United States.” TABOOED BY CABINET. Political Subjects Not Consldered (at Meeting. ‘Washington, April 10.—“All the in- teresting political subjects you news- paper reporters have been writing about were tabooed at the cabinet meeting,” said a member of the cab- inet at the close of the meeting. Benators Hansbrough and Curtis saw the president during the day. The latter declared that Kansas is for the president and his policies. “If the president should conclude that he will take the nomination again Kansas wilt no doubt support him. If some other man is to be nominated and the pres- ident’s policies are attacked on the floor of the convention Kansas will support the president,” added the sen- ator. Delegate Andrews of New Mexico, a close friend of Senator Penrose, who, it has been cbarged, was the “prom- Inent man” who gave away the story of the alleged combination against the president, was at the White House again. This is his fourth visit since the story regarding the dinner became public. He refused to talk when asked whether Senator Penrose was expected at the White House. No ap- polntment has been made for the sen- ator. Blizzard in Northern Michigan.
