LINCOLN. Neh, Feb. ZL- Special. -The
amendment to tha conatltuUon providing
for a state railway commission adopted by
the people, of Nebraska at tha laat general
elecflm. waa legally adopted and tha men
who were elected at the Mini election to
serve aa commissioners were legally elected.
Thta tha supreme court decided this atcr-
noon tn tha teat caaa brought by tha at-
torney general at tha request of the legis
lature. The opinion waa written by Chief
Justice Sedgwick. Tha syllabus follows:
1. The self-imposed limitations on the
power af tne peupi to amend their tunda
mental law should not be so construed aa
to defeat tha will of the people, plainly
expressed, on account of a annul and un
important failure to comply literally with
auch limitations, tf tne requirements are
substantially observed.
The constitution requires that h'n
proposed amendmenta thereto are submitted
to a fix of the people, said proposed
amendment shall be "published at least
nnce each week In at least one newspaper
In each county where a newspaper la pub
lished, for three months imineti lately pre
ceding the next election of senators and
representatives, at which ejection the same
shall be submitted to the electors for ap
proval or rejection. ' Where there is a
substantial compliance with this require
ment, tha fact that the publication was
made fur one week lesa than the required
time In one county of tha state will not
Invalidate the amendment.
L The manner of voting upon a consti
tutional amendment and the general con
duct of the election are for the legislature
to provide, subject to the limitation that
"when Two re tnan one amendment is sul
mllted at the same election, tiiey shall be
so submitted aa to enable the electors to
vote on each amendment separately." And
wnen the legislature by resolution submits
such question at a general election aa re
quired bv the constitution It will be pre
sumed that the legislature Intends that
the requirements of the general election
law are to he observer. x
4. W ken each amendmeat to the contl
tutlon creates a public office, such office
may be tilled by a vote of the electors at
the same election at which tha amend
ment la adopted?
. Tha act of 19T.1 (session laws, chapter
sxtxi. amending varloua sections uf ,m
general election law so as to provide, for
counting straight party votes for a con
stitutional amendment when such part?
has endorsed such amendment does not
violate tha constitution, and it la within
tha power of tha legislature to provide such
regulations.
a. It la not necessary that the. entire pro
posed amendment be printed anon the of
& lal ballot. If enouifh la printed upon
the ballot to Identify the amendment and
show Its character and purpose, it la suf
ficient. Welch, Saceeeda Boyd.

NEW TORK. Feb. XI. -Under the stress
of a croso-examtnatloa ta which District ;
Attorney Jerome gave no quarter. Mrs. j
Evelyn N'esblt Thaw broke down todiy j
np .n tt witness a and. With blinding learj '
burning their way down cheeks which from
aahen whlU had Hushed to crimson, she
admitted that after her first experience
with Stanford White her relations with the
architect continued, several months.
There were other confessions also, which,
while damaging to her own character, ac-
centuated all the mora the terrible personal j
sacrifice she is making In the effirt to save !
her husband from the electric chair. The j
case has progressed to the point where the !
defendant has been all but lost sight of. I

up to scorn by tbe prosecuting officer.
Thaw, hla face buried In hla hands, might
easily have been out of the court room pic
ture today and none would have missed
hlro. All eyes were upon the witness ehalr
and the slight figure la blue which occupied
It. During tha morning and at all times
heretofore Mrs, Thaw haa had to sit on
the edge of tho chair In order that her
feet might reach the floor. To make her
more comfortable for the long ordeal, a
foot stool and back cushion were provided
during the afternoon.
At the close of the most eventful day of
the trial. Mr. Jerome announced that he
probably would keep Mrs. Thaw under fire
for two more days. Adjournment was
taken untn Monday morning, although at
one time Justice Fitzgerald said that to
accommodate out of town witnesses he
would hold court tomorrow and Saturday.
Jerosao Is Meretlesa.
There was no subject affecting the wit
ness of so Intimate a nature that tha dis
trict attorney hesitated to haul It from Its
hiding place and hold It before the gase
of the world, all the whllo requiring that
she should recognise and own the fault In
her own words.
When Mr. Jerome was flaying Mrs Thaw
with questions as to her relations with
White, demanding to know every detail,
and while bitter tears were welling to her
eyes, two newspaper women accustomed
to harsh scenes of life, hastily left the court
room and made a hasty retreat out of the
big portals. At last the prosecutor him
self relented somewhat and suggested that
the proceedings suspend. (
Mr. Del mas thought he detected an un
favorable slant to this and protested that
the witness would be able to proceed.
Mrs. Thaw wiped her eyes, stiffened up a
bit and nodded to Mr. Jerome to proceed.
After bringing out that her relations with
White continued for some time. Mr. Jerome
went deeper. Mrs. Thaw admitted that In
1WB. after the return from Europe; she
spent the night at Thaw s apartments In
New York and that tor three weeks he
and she occupied connecting apartments n't
the Grand Hotel here.
Mrs. Thaw admitted freely that tha cham
pagne which she had declared had tasted
uniev me nignt sno lost consciousness tn
tho mirrored bedroom was no more bitter
than any other champagpe aha had. drunk.
In fact she declared It taste like all ths
reart and denied that ah had Intended for
tne jury to assume otherwise.
DnaaaurtsHg fttateaaewt te Defease.
Mrs. Thaw made what was considered
her most damaging statement to ths de
fendant when she said he had showed her
espies of cablegrams sent to Stanford
Whito from Europe aaking him to use his
influence with a certain man in London to
prevent Mrs. Nesbit from Interfering with
Evelyn continuing In Thaws company.
Mrs. Thaw also waa forced to admit that
when aha and her mother went abroad with
Thaw In 10 they were still drawing upon
the bounty of Stanford White, " Evelyn
declared she had a letter of credit for
tlilA -rwa a- j i.
e m wnicn was given to her by White
and which she later turned over to Thaw
There waa still a balance In the Mercantile
Trust company to her order also.
"But mamma got all of that." said the
witness.
Mr. Jerome dwelt for a long while upon
the cablegrams which Thaw is aald to
hava sent White. Ha brought but that the
cablegrams were sent after Thaw knew of
the relations which had existed between
Miss Nesbit and the architect. Mrs, Thaw
would not admit that she knew positively
who seat the cablegrams or whether her
name was signed to them,
"Surely.- remarked Mr. Jerome, "you
don't mean to say that ha signed hla own
name?"
"No.

aho replied. "I don't mean that
A letter written by Mrs. Thaw In 1301
and telling of her gay life in Paris with
Harry Thaw and a 'bunch from the Tenderloin,-
was read to tho Jury by Mr.
Jerome. This brought out more testimony
a to -Tha Dead Rat,- Parisian cafe.
There seemed to bo nothing in tho wlt
Bess past life about which the prosecutor
was not Informed. He seemed to hava
been able to trace her every step, largely
due, doubtless, to tho typewritten state
ment of tho mother which Mr. Jerome

Mr. WaterkssM aad Did Hot

Vow that the S2.00S for the statue of
Abraham Lincoln to bo erected In the high
school grounds Is tn hand ft Is time that
the Omaha Woman's club should be ex
onerated from the exceedingly awkward
position In which It haa been placed In
tho whole matter. The club haa been ac
cused of "butting in." and tho Impression
seems to have gone abroad generally that
the women have sought to take tha lead
In this project that so essentially belongs
to tha punfls of tho high school.
As g matter of fact, the club has been
the victim of an awkward blunder, and
has been unable to vindicate Itself because
of tha peculiar position of Its member
as mothers of tha students and at the same
time sponsors of a school tha dignity and
discipline of which aa mothers they were
bound to maintain.
Ortarla af tho Slraattaa.
The -club has at no time had any desire
to usurp any of tha prerogatives of the
students: It did not solicit ths task of
raising (1.300. or the alternative of taking
that amount from its treasury- The truth
Is. ths whole thing was thrust upon the
club much against tha will and the Judg-
ment of the majority of Its members. The
proposition came to tha club through one
of Its members, from Principal Waterhonse
of the high school, and waa to the effect
that If the women would raise the tLTS
necessary for ths statue the students, or
the senior class, and the members of the
faculty, would raise the remaining pKo
necessary for the base. It was stated at
the time that the proposition had come
from Mr. Waterhouse and that the assist
ance of the club was solicited. One of the
most heated dlscuaalons of the year fol
lowed, much opposatton being expressed,
and after being laid over until another
meeting, when another extended debate
took place, the women contending that
erecting the statue was the privilege of the
students, the motion finally carried, with
provision that tho money was not to be
taken from the club treasury.
A committee was appointed to devise a
working plan, but In the meantime the
women learned that the high school
students had not been consulted regarding
any nlan for tbe statue, and one after
another tha members resigned. A dignified
nuance was tha only course left open to
ths club. A committee was finally gotten
together under ths chairmanship of the
member who had originally presented the
matter to tha club, and tt was finally ar
numl that tha students ba allowed to
rats ths entire amount- for the statu.
This plan, when reported to the club at
last Monday's meeting, met hearty ap
proval, although tho women stood ready
to land their assistance had It been re
quired. T. W. C. A. AsTalrs.

My Desr Mrs. Nathan: Permit mo
through you to express my earnest hows
for tha success of the Consumers' league,
Tou an doing work that should -appesj
peculiarly to every good cltlaen. for those
you befriend are greatly tn need of friends
and are not powerful enough to stand up
for themselves. I aaa particularly tnaar
estad in your e (Torts to Improve tha eoaw
ditions under which working girls do their
work in tha great shops; and I hava. of
course, an especial Interest In your ef
fort to combat the evils of child labor.
There Is much outcry, cbisfiy, I think, front
ths beneficiaries of abuses, against Inter
ference by the national government wtth
wortr'whlch ahould b don by the state
governments. I would always rather have
the local authorities themselves sttand te
any evil, and therefore I would rather have
the state authorities work out such re
forms, when possible: but If the stats au
thorities do not do as they should In mat
ters of such vital Importance to the whole
nation aa this of child labor, then there
will be no choice but for the national gov
ernment to Interfere. I am striving to se
cure either final action, or else a full and
thorough investigation of the matter by
the authority of congress at tha present
time. Sincerely yours.
