QUESTIONS A SKID CCNCtRSl.G HER lit I Caart Rale That They Ar Prpe M Tvaalaa- Teat Credibility f Wltae TUta Utlnt Attorney. NEW YORK. Feb. ll.-Mn. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw today entered on the ordeal of her crpea-examlnatlon,' and before Dis trict Attorney Jerome had had the witness In charg for half an hour he had eecured from the court a ruling which apparently opens the way for bringing Into the trial of Harry K. Thaw all manner of evi dence which may tend to discredit lh defendant's wife. Heretofore It has been held that the rules of evidence protected young Mrs. Thaw and that regardless of whether her story was true or. false, the fact that she had told her husband was the one essential point. Mrs. Thaw had been allowed to repeat the atory so thai the Jury might Judge as to Its effects In unbalancing; the mind of the man on trial for murder of Stanford White. Mr. Jerome, by a simple question, opened the way for the Introduction of testimony tending to how the truth or falsity of Mrs. Thaw's atory. He asked the witness: "Was the story you told Mr. Thaw truer "It was," she replied firmly. ' , Mr. Delma, Thaw's leading counsel, ob jected strongly to the question, but Jus tice Fltsgerald held It to be competent as tending to show the credibility of the wit ness. Whether Mr. Jerome Intends to take Advantage of the ruling In an attempt to throw doubt on the truth of the story or whether Justice Fltsgerald Intended his ruling to cover the whole subject of Mrs. Thaw's evidence the future conduct of the case alone can determine. Mr. Delmaa will continue to fight with constant ob jection the Introduction of any testimony of the events In the young woman's life, but the subject of the credibility of a wit ness Is a wide one, and Justice Fltsgerald early today Indicated that he would be liberal In hU Interpretation of the rules. He allowed Mr. Jerome to secure from Mrs. J. J. Calne of Boston, a friend of Mrs. Thaw, who took the witness stand during the morning session, many material point as to the movements of Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit following their return from Europe In 1904, including the published in cident of their being ejected from the Hotel Cumberland In this city, the pro. prietor Insisting that they should register as man and wife or leave their suite which adjoined. In bringing out these facts Mr. Jerome denied that he was at tacking Mrs. Thaw and said he waa merely testing the credibility of Mrs. Calne. Jerome Aaka for Time. The district attorney seemed reluctant to begin the cross examination of Mrs. Thaw today, desiring to have the matter post poned until Thursday morning. In order that he might determine whether or not a further examination of the witness was necessary. "After I have looked further Into the matter I may decide not to cross examine Mrs. Thaw," Mr. Jerome stated to the court, "or I waive my right If when all testimony aa to the Insanity of this defend ant Is In I shall be honestly of the opinion that be waa Insane at the time this act waa committed I do not propose to take up the time of this court and this Jury In contending " Mr. Delmaa here Interrupted. He wanted to know If the district attorney meant that If he waa honestly convinced that Thaw Waa Insane when he shot Stanford White fee would abandon the prosecution. "I promise nothing," retorted the pros ecutor. A wordy conflict ensued during which Mr. Jerome hinted at broken confidence and evasion of stipulations. He declared be did not wish to humiliate the witness with a eroa examination -which he might deem unnecessary. "However. If I am forced to do It I will," said Mr. Jerome, with something mt a menace In his tone. "You may proceed," replied Mr. Del me s. Mra. Thaw Crosa-Baamlaed. Mra Thaw moved a bit nervously and awaited Mr. Jerome's opening question. They had to do with her signature to cer tain paper, some' of which the prosecutor declared wer receipt for money Mr. Thaw had drawn from the Mercantile Trust company In 190Z, 126 a . week. Mr. Delmaa protested against these statements and noted an exception. Mra Thaw Ud aha wa not sure that alt of th signature wer her own thty looked very much like her wrltlnc, h added. Who provided the money at th Mercantile Trust company was not developed. Mrs. Thaw' confidence grew aa the croaa examination went on and he waa always ready with answers. Mr. Jerome under the plea of testing her cred ibility wa allowed to ask many pertinent questions. He wanted to know when she first, heard that she had been named as a o-respondent In th George W. Lederer divorce case. Mr. Delma quickly protested. ' Mrs. Thaw whispered something In his ear and th attorney withdrew his objection. "I read of It In the newspaper," said th witness cheerily when Mr. Jerome re . pasted the question.

Justice Fltsgerald said th ques tion had nothing to do with Mr. Thaw' story to her husband and did not affect her credibility. Mr. Jerome brought out that Mrs. Thaw had written to Stanford White rrom Boulogne after Thaw had pro posed to her In Psrts. "Did you also cable Mr. Whiter' he asked. The witness could not remember. Th cross-examination had barely gotten Into full swing when adjournment for th day waa ordered. Ramop sf Lsaaey Caaaialssloa. Mra Thaw will reaum the stand tomor row morning and the Indications are that she may be kept there throughout th day. The district attorney' reluctance to sub mit Mra. Thaw to a orosa-examlnation again led to rumor that Mr.' Jerome still .contemplates moving for tbe appointment of a commission In lunacy to test Thaw present state of mind. Now that he ha entered on the cross-examination he seems determined to make It a thorough one. There were evidence during th afternoon of HI feeling between Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delma. Th latter intend to protect Mr. Thaw In every possible way. He moved from his accustomed place at Thaw' coun sel table to a chair, within th rail where th district attorney alts and directly In front of Justice Fltsgerald. Mr. Jerome Informed Mr. Delmaa that It was not oourtesy In New York to Interrupt n attorney when he wa stating an ob jection. Mr. Delma later wa objecting to a question put by the prosecutor when Mr. Jerome Interrupted. Mr. Delma turned and .with great sarcasm remarked: "I have been told It I not courtesy In New York to Interrupt when an objection I being stated." Mr. Jerome cat down. Mr. Thaw' cross-examination promises a duel between th two attorney, a well a between Mr. Jerome and the wife of the defendant. Thaw seemed to be In a cheerful frame of mind today, especially when Mr. Delma wa Insisting that the oroBs-examlnatlon of hi wife should pro ceed. The young man grew more sober faced after Mr. Jerome had begun to ply his question In a way that Indicated a relentless search Into Mra. Thaw' past. Mr. Jerome did not even forget th Inci dent of th cat and th conductor who wanted to put It off th train. Mr. Thaw had testified that sh told her husband of this Incident in her early life. Mr. Jerome also remembered that Mr. Thaw had told of eating chocolate eclair at her first dinner with Stanford White. "It wa not dinner," pouted th witness, "It waa supper." Other Victims sf White. In completing her direct testimony Mr. Thaw had. told of the conversations shs and her husband had had regarding the fate of other young women at the hands of Stanford White. One of thee girl wa known aa "The PI Girl." Sh wa U year old and wore only a gause drees when she sprang from a big pie at a stag dinner. The witneaa declared that Hay MacKenxl had told her that Stanford White, when told h and Harry wer very happy together, had remarked! "Pooh, it won't lat. I will get her back." Harry Thaw letter to Anthony Comstock describing three house where he declared White and "other scoundrels" lured girl waa read. Among the place described waa th house In West Twenty-fourth street where the velvet swing, and the mirrored bedroom were located. Mrs. Thaw identified forty-two letters which she said were In th handwriting of Btanford White. They wer not offered In evidence, but Mr. Delmaa will attempt to get them Into the case. , Mrs.. Cslse'e Testimony. Mrs. Calne, th only , other witnesa of the day, testified to overhearing; Harry Thaw ask ,Mrs. Nesbit for her daughter's hand In 103. She declared Thaw appeared angry whenevor he saw Whit. "A a man In the face of his enemy might appear!" sug gested Mr. Jerome on cross examination. "Yea," replied the witneaa Mr. Delmaa asked If she did not mean that Thaw's conduct In the presence of White waa "Irrational." Sh said she did. To Mr. Jerome she again said he appeared angry. Mr. Jerome brought out many statements from Mrs. Cain with regard to Harry Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit. Among these was the fact that Mrs. Nesbit had not accompanied her daughter and Harry Thaw to Europe in 1904, tha second trip abroad. He also got from Mrs. Cain the fact that Evelyn Neblt told her the oper ation which ha figured ao frequently in the can waa for eppendlcltla. Mrs. Cain declared Thaw had told Mr. Nesbit he would provide for her and her son always If she would consent to her daughter' mar riage to him. Mr. Nesbit promised to do her best to hsv Evelyn consent. NEBRASKA FROM DAY TO DAY (assist asd Carton Featares of Life la a, Rapidly Orewlag tat. Sign of Spring at Hastings M. A.

Th official text of the amendment of th government blil ha been published. As expected lt ha created the strongest dissatisfaction among th Interested parties, although the movements of procedure have not yet as sumed a definite shape. The Japanese residents of the Hawiian Islands have tele graphed President Roosevelt and tha Hawaiian representatives In the house re. porting the seriousness of the Injury which will be caused to their rights' and Interest by this legislation. Th leader of splnlon heri are aware, however, that under th circumstance that th only alternative Is to calmly resign themselves to the situation hoping that the government can arrange with tha American authorities to reduce the sacrifice In th Interest of Ja partes Immigrants to a minimum. They regret tha new Ihw lest the San Francisco people, glorying In their success, hould assume an overbearing attitude. New of this kind would only tend to Injur Japanese susceptibilities, which President Roosevelt ha specially been careful to avoid. Protest from Hooolnla. HONOLULU. Feb 19. At a mass meeting of Japanese held last night th following cablegram waa ordered sent to President Roosevelt: The Hawaiian Japanese respectfully pro test in the name of humanity and civlllaa tlon and also In the name of liberty against the prohibition of their emigration to the United States, lt enslaves us per manently to Hawaiian capitalists. Th meeting also cabled to Japanese for eign offlo a follow: Th Hawaiian Japanese are unanimous In firm opposition to the action of the American congress In prohibiting them from emigrating to America, which Is In compatible with the empire's dignity and ruinous to Japanese interests in Hawaii.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Feb. 1.-The term of the agreement between the fed eral authorities and tha Schmlta party at Washington la acceptable to the Japanese of this city, according to a statement la med today by U. Oyama, secretary of the Japanese consulate, aa follows: ."We have received no official Information regarding the matter, but If the newspaper reports are correct I am sure tha Japanese people aa a whole will be pleased with the terms. Wa have every confidence in President Roosevelt In this matter. We have insisted that the Japanese, a a people,' shall not be discriminated against, and I belive that thla is secured by th agreement reached In Washington." , PRESS GOES AFTER MADDEN (Continued from First Pag.) man, and while the editor doe not a a rule attain a competency, we occasslonally And one who has a bank account. Some times an editor 1 even the owner of a bank. However, It I a fact that must be admitted that these latter Instance are rare Indeed. Paper Stand for Hoaesty, The newspaper publisher are to be con gratulated, too, because their papers to day are the exponent of th honest con viction Of th editor rather than the or gan of com political party or politician. Twenty year ago, or even ten years ago, If It had been announced by the railroads that the custom of exchanging transporta tion ifor advertising space would be discon tinued hundreds of newspaper men would have thrown several kinds of tits. Today that announcement ha been mad and not a publisher has shed a tear, while generally it naa Deen received wun a great aeai oi satisfaction. The fact Is,- the editor of to day la as able to pay his fare when ha travels aa la the man engaged in some other business 1 have known .personally of several Instances where the possession of an annual pass has been the' ruination of publisher. While the little pasteboard In their pocket that would carry them any where at any time they have been too prone to step aboard the varnished cars and occupy the plush-cushloned seats to the city, giving little thought to th fact that th other xpene of the trip would be much more than the Income of their printing establishments during the time of their absence, and as little thought to the way their business would sutler for want of their personal attention during th Interim. Newspaper advertising space Is a val uable asset, the same as the goods on the shelf of the merchant, and I believe the time Is not far distant when every publisher will realise that he 1 injuring his own buslnass by making Ash of on person and flesh of another. Several year ago I cam to this conclusion and I de termined to make a flat rate to all comers the patent medicine or foreign adver tiser and the local bualneaa man a well, and I have never regretted that I made the resolution. Of course I could not bring the price of local advertising dpwn to th level of that of the patent medi cine fellow, because if I did I could not live at all; so th only thing to do to carry out my resolution waa to bring the price for patent medicine advertising up to that which I charged my hpme merchant.

Tea u. iiuiis sang "Remember Now Thy Creator." Rev. A. W. Halsey, D. D., president of the Presbyterian Foreign Missionary board. In speaking on "Foreign Missions: A Great Force," said: There are 3.000 Protestant missionaries In church. Men are beginning to recognise world thoughts. Foreign rulers are now flvlng vast sums to your missions In the orelgn fields. These give us the theme-a great world force. It Is no mean work which sends S21.fl00.000 across the water each year, and this was done last year. There were 18.000 missionaries and 89,000 helpers engaged In Christian missionary work. Is it not a world force? We ask men of wealth In the Presby terian church to visit mission fields and see the great good which Is being done.

You could roast him or boll him or serve him In any manner you choose, but today you cannot buy a little, shrivelled, dried up man for $1(10.000. How did this come about?
