KANSAS CITT. March 1 A special
meeting of the Western baseball associa
tion to consider the question a to whether
Topeka will be In the Western league or
the Western association this season, was
held here today.
Representatives from every club In the
league were present. The session waa an
executive one. Oeorge Tebeau of the West
em league Is In the city, but did not at
tend the meeting today.
By a vote of 7 to 1 the association voted
to reject the proposition of the Weatern
league regarding the Topeka franchise.
CHICAGO. March T.-Presldent O'Neill of
the Western league says the action of the
Western association regarding the Topeka
franchise cute no figure whatever.
Vnder agreement with the National i
soclatlon. Secretary Farrell, acting as its
representative, Topeka has been taken cut
of the Western association territory and
13,000 has been paid to President Bhlvely
of the Western association. The Western
league therefore, he said, will be made up
during the coming season of Omarhv Den
ver, Pueblo, Topeka, Bt. Joseph, Mo., Des

Then.
. In yean to come Omaha cltlien will
look forward to March 25 a one of the
greatest day of the year. It will be ob
served and celebrated by demonstration
that will not be surpassed by 'any other an
nual festival, not even that of King Ak-Bar-Ben.'
Foroa March 25, 1907. the great
est Western league team assembled In
Omaha, prepaiatory to winning the pen
nant of that season. The team consisted
mostly of new men, that Is, nw to Omaha,
but stars on .former diamonds. It was
nearly what might be called an all-star
team; at any rate, It was so much better
than any other team In the loague that It
victory wa apparent from the tart. Th
day of the gathering' wa a great day for
Pa Rourke, then In the heyday of hi bass
ball activity. Sport from all over the
city visited his "Smoke House" to meet hi
gladiators and have It said that they bad
shaken the hands of these peerless peaches.
Pa himself was In fine spirit and showed
plainly that he appreciated the glad hand
hi beloved fellow townsmen gaVe him.
The demonstration wa a house-warmer
and a source of great cheer and comfort
for the men who hod risked themsiv In
a strange city. It helped -them overcome
their homesickness and get up nerve for
the season' work. In all. It was a great
day.
"f wish I couM flam how It Is done,"
Observed Farmer Burns, pondering on the
sapient report that Jimmy Parr threw him
by a "full Nelson with the lefcs." "I

THAW DEFENSE WILL REST
Ittaritjt for Prisoner Deoid to Introdnoe
Bo Mor Teitimony.
MOVE SURPRISES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
Announcement Will Be Made In Court
This Morning, When Adjournment
Will Probably Be Taken
Vattl Monday.
SBW TORK. March 7. There wss an
other quick turn of th card In the trial
of Harry K. Thaw Into today when the de
fense announced It had concluded to rest Its
case.
It .wa nearly 6 o'clock when Delphln M.
Delmas, chief of the Thaw counsel, called
District Attorney Jerome on the telephon
and made the announcement The district
attorney was perhaps the most surprised
man In New York, for It had been under
stood the Thaw attorney would call one
or two alienists Friday morning. Court
will asse nble tomorrow as planned, but
what will be done Is a question much dls
cussed tonight. Mr. Dolmas will make the
simple announcement, "The defense rest.
It will then be the duty of the district
attorney to take up the rebuttal, but It
was rumored tonight that after a brief ses
sion adjournment will be asked and granted
until Monday that Mr. Jerome may ma
ture his plans.
Th sudden decision of the defense came
after a conference of Thaw' lawyers In
Mr. ' Delmas' "office late this afternoon.
Mr. Jerome's move In the morning Is
awaited with Interest. There are numerous
witnesses that could be called In rebuttal.
Including alienists for the state who have
been In court every day since the trial
opened studying Thaw. Howard Nesblt. a
brother of Mrs. Harry K. Thaw; May Mac
kenzie and others have been on call dally
and may be summoned In the morning. The
general supposition Is, however, adjourn
ment will be taken.
It Is understood tonight that the defense
will attempt to conclude Its cross-examination
speedily, dealing very briefly with the
alienists. -
How long Mr. Jerome will take on re
buttal Is another question of Importance.
The case may close with this rebuttal,
although the defense ha a chance for
sur-rehuttal.
It waa an evening of activity In the dls-
ti let attorney's office. Assistant Distr.ct At.
torney Nott wa called In for the first time
since the opening of the trial and with his
chief and Assistant District Attorney Gar
van examined wltnessess and went over
the law authorities until a late hour.
The close of the defense was with the
testimony of Mrs. William Thaw, mother
of the defendant, and at today's conference.
It Is said, the attorney decided no better
climax could have been reached by the de
fense. Several of Thaw's attorneys visited him In
the Tombs today and he was notified of
trjelr decision and concurred.
The question of a lunacy commission
looms prominent still. Mr. Jerome may
ask for the appointment of such a com
mission at any time and this may halt pro
ceedings. Thaw's lawyer and th defend
ant himself, It ' Is said, have more fear
of a suspension of the trial In favor of a
commission then a verdict hy the present
jury. The defense 1 prepared to fight uch
an appointment, however. .
Mrs. Harry Thaw visited her husband
early today and remained a long while. She
seemed bright and cheetfut Mrs. William
Thaw and her daughters, the countess of
Yarmouth and Mrt. Carnegie, also visited
Thaw. . . ,. ,. . .

BT. PETERSBURG, March 7.-Th cor
dial manner In which President Golovln of
the lower house was received by Emperor
Nicholas yesterday, the self -restraint
shown by all parties and, above all, the
decision of the conservatives to support the
petition for the granting of amnesty to all
political prisoners except bomb throwers,
confirms, according to the press writers,
the Impression that the new Parliament
will make a far better record than Its
predecessor.
According to club gossip, however, a
good understanding between the crown and
the lower house Is threatened by several in
discretions on the part of President Golo
vln, who I quoted a criticising In private
conversation the political Intelligence dls
played by the emperor and empress' Ignor
ance of Russian parties, as shown by her
question whether he (Golovln) was a mem
ber of the right party, remarks which are
sure to reach the emperor In exaggerated
form.

TORTURE APPLIED TO MAKE ANIMAL GO
Younsr Driver Accused of the f'rlms
Is Ml sain - and the Victim .
of His Cruelly I
hot.
An Instance of cruelty to animals unrr
cedent ed in the history ef humane opera
tions In Omaha, or that has ever ccme to
the attention of the Nehraaka Humane o
clety within Its territory, was reported by
the officers of the American Transfer com
pany, 1003 Farnam street Thursday, when
the charge was made s gainst one of It
employes that. In an effort to make a
horse pull, he fastened a cord to the ani
mal' tongue and pulled It out by th root.
The employe against whom the charge was
mad I J. P. Hamilton, bout 23 year old,
and tho deed wa ald to have been com
mitted at the company's yards. Fourteenth
and Mason streets, at 6:30 o'clock Wednes
day evening.
The horse which fell victim to Hamilton'
cruelty, so the story goes, was one of a
team driven by P. Barton and attached to
a wagon. Barton waa driving Into the
yards, Ed Galloway, C. Jensen and other
drivers following with wagons. A muddy
portion of the street caused the unfortunate
horse to balk, and Barton, being a young
and Inexperienced driver, was unable to
proceed. The wagon wa loaded lightly,
containing but two radiators
Hamilton Is then ald to have come for
ward to show Barton he could Induce the
horse to mtve. What method he used In
his attempt was brought suddenly to th
realisation of the other employes near,
when, attracted by the unusual actions of
the horse, they saw Hamilton with tho
poor animal's severed tongue. Hamilton
was not asked to explain how he did It,
but It Is thought he used the cord of a
whip he held In tils hand. When the mem
bers of .the firm heard of the matter the
horse was ordered shot.
Hamilton, frightened by his act, went to
his boarding house, near Thirteenth and
Mason streets, and then disappeared, lis
has not been seen since.
