Primary Reglstratloa gtaads.
The f unionists of 'the house this after
noon tried to kill H. R. T, a bill providing
ft frustration of voters on primary day.
la the commute of the whole the fuslon
lets wert euceeKuful, but when It came to
a roll call on the motion hot to concur In
the committee report, enough republican
stood for this most vital companion of the
primary bill to overcome the deflections of
republicans and the horde of fusloniets, led
by Cone ;f Bnundera. and the very honor
able Mr. Qunrkenbush of Nemaha, whom
the republicans surrendered to a few days
ago. Borne of the republicans voted to
kill the bill In retaliation' for the tleup
of republicans and fuslonlsta, while others
believed It would result. In too many voters
getting out In the large cities enO, towns.
Dodge and Walsh both spoke for the bill,
while Cone spoke to kill It. The rote was
4 to St In favor of passing the bill.
Once more the tun Is shining In the office
of the state auditor and In tha office of the
land commissioner for their recent hard
labors have borne fruit In great gobs for
thorn. The house this morning Indefinitely
postponed H. R. "426 by Hurt of Tork. the
bill to remove Mr. Eaton and Mr. Pearls
from the Btate Board of Equalisation and
Assessment White It lived the bill was a
mighty nightmare to these two men, but
Its friends found the persistent appeals
made by Baton and Bearls to stand by the
nominees of the repttblkiah state conven
tions had done Ita work and there was no
occasion for a fight. The pops too, It was
understood, would vote to retain these men
on the board In the hope they would make
some campaign thunder next fall.
Among the bills which the committee of
the whole renommended for passage was
8. F. 2S0, thf same as tha McMullen bill,
providing the state treasurer shall be the
ex-offlclo treasurer of the Btate university
and shall pay out the Morrill fund, the
Hatch fund, the Adams fund and the cash
fund without appropriation by the state
legislature. Cone t Baunders fought the
bill bard. He called attention to the letter
by Hon. Peter Mortensen, who set out the
dangers In such a measure In that It al
lowed the" regents to aide step the const!'
tutlon which provides , the state auditor
shall .audit' and Investigate every claim
filed against the state. Tha auditor .does
not. audit the university accounts, and
under this bill whan It becomes a law, when
the regents say pay, tha auditor must
draw his warrant. When this la done the
state treasurer must hand over the money
and no injunction can restrain him be
cause he Is the. university treasurer and
not the state treasurer in this case. Cone
fought like a man to safeguard the state
money, but the university lobby headed by
Regent Allen Was too much for him and
. be went down to defeat, almost alone.
Barns, Slnra Governor. v
Joe Burns of Lancaster, who has always
stood out against any legislation curbing
tha power of the railroad and other lobbli-a,
took a lert-handed Jab at ' Governor Shel
don today because tha chief executive In
the exercise of the prerogatives of his of
fice sent a special message to the senate
yesterday asking that aome legislation di
rected against the lobbyists be enacted
The Lancaster "reformer" offered a resolu
tion to amend H. R. 18, the ahl-lobby bill,
which the governor asked to have consid
ered again so that It will Include the gov.
srnor as well as the legislators in Its scope.
The evident attempt, of the. Lancaster
sounty senator to reflect on tne chief ex.
soutlve fell rather flat when the resolution
was read ami It was' Immediately referred
to the committee on Judiciary which has
H. R. 18 In charge. . "
Just before the resolution was offered
, '.he senate administered a spanking to the
tenalor' from Lancaster by. turning down
several tt " his recommendations for the
lnauriince committee, of which he Is chair
men. The first " punishment camo when
Burns reported on 8. "P. 441, by Bckett,
which provides for a leglstativo investiga
tion of life Insurance companies. The
committee report was for Indefinite post
ponement, but tho senate voted to override
the committee and place It on general file,
' whero It m!gj)t bo discussed.
Immediately after this Burns reported
for Indefinite postponement B. F. 590, pro
viding regulations relating to the election
of directors of mutual life Insurance com.
panles. Burns made a plea against allow
Ing the bill to go on general file and
'.fkened' the present agitation for public
regulation of public corporations to the
grange movement In the '70a. He declnre-J
it would result In a "financial hell'' and
said the legislature la treading on danger
ous ground. However, the motion of
Baokett that the bill go on general Die
carried.
The discussion on these motions was
warm and the friends of Insurance meas
ures declared the insurance lobby waa
retting In Its work On the Insurance eom
nlttee and Epperson aald he did not op
poso adverse action on his bill In the com
ailttee because he preferred to take his
dances before the entire senate. It was
tharged that' P. J. Cheney, the Toledo
patent medicine manufacturer, had been
tiding the Insurance lobby In Us work.

The child labor bill had a setback when
It came up before the senate today for
final pasnnge. After considerable discus
sion It was referred back to the committee
of the whole for specific amendment. Borne
of the country members are still dissatis
fied with the bill because they thought
that amendments adopted by the committee
of the whole were satisfactory to the agri
cultural Interests, but when It came up
today Byrnes of Platte wanted It aent
back for another' amendment, and this
was done. The friends of the measure
voted for the motion In order to head off
another one by McKesson of Iancaster to
send It back to the agricultural committee.

LINCOLN. March 14.-8peclal.)-House
Tbtl No. IS. Jenlson's aptl-lobby bill, which
was killed by the senate the early part
of the week and revived again at the Re
quest of Governor Sheldon, waa before the
senate this morning, having been returned
by the house. At the request of McKesson
of Lancaster, who said he would support
the bill If It were properly amended, It
was referred to the 'Judiciary committee
after the vote Indefinitely postponing It had
been reconsidered. A disposition to pass
the measure was evident but those who
opposed It probably will Insist on some
changes being made In It. At present it
prohibits psld lobbyists from seeking to In
fluence members of the legislature upon
any- subject but It does not forbid persons
who are Interested themselves In measure
working with the legislators.
Either from the reaction against the lob
byists manifested yesterday or because
they took the hint that they were not
wanted, very few of them showed up In
the senate today and the gallery and lobby
waa almost entirely deserted.
In committee of the whole the senate
this morning passed on the following
bills: V
H. R. 110 By Scudder. Forbidding the
stealing of rides on passenger and freight
trains. For Pasaage.
8. F. 81 By Phillips. Relating to the
disqualification of Justices and Judges. For
passage. 1
H R. 61-Bv Klllen. To prohibit the
pooling of bridge contractors. For passage.
8. F. 230 By Aid rich. Sunday base ball
bill. Indefinitely postponed.
H. R. 130 By Brown. Allowing ballots
to be printed In two columns Instead of In
a single column. Indefinitely postponed.
H. R. b By .Byram. Regulating the
gambling houses. For passage.-
8. F. 243 By Kendall. Providing for the
Incorporation of grand and local lodges of
fraternal ornanltatlons. For passage.
8. F. 244 By Randall. Permitting frater

aged ond poor.
11. R. 106 By Steinauer. Relating to the
charters of state banks. For panige.
8. F. 277-By Root. Requiring certain
classes of corporations to pay wages twice
a month. For passage.
8. F. 384 Relaxing to the Btate Bureau
of Commerce and Stttistlcs and conferring
upon It the- powers to Investigate corpor
ations given t the national bureau. For
passage.
The . principal discussion came on the
last named bill. Ashton of Hall thought
the powers conferred were too brood,
as they permitted the investigation of any
business that is Incorporated. Root offered
an amendment limiting these' powers to
public utility corporations, but the amend
ment was voted down, King declaring that
the wholesalers and retailers in certain
classes appeared to be In a combination,
and might need investigation. ' Clarke of
Adams secured the adoption of an amend
ment Including hotels in the list of con
cerns within the scope of the law. The
bill was recommended for passaga.
At the afternoon session the following
bills were passed:
B. F. t By King. ' The anti-pass bill.
8. F. Ill By Wilcox. Placing Itinerant
physicians under the Jurisdiction of the

From the way I found the Union Pacific i

organised It seemed that In order to nave
to make certain officials presidents," said
Mr. Harriman, smiling, "or In some other
way harmonise the organization. I think
and I thought a great deal of Mr.' Burt
aa a railroad man. I would have, liked
to have brought him to New York and had
hlra next ( to me. Ho told ma, however,
that he -w'lshed to leave the Union Pacific
on account of his wife's' health. He had
never traveled and he wished to spend a
year abroad. We parted the best of
friends, and when In New Tork Mr. Burt
calls at my home."
Effect of Retrenchment.
When Mr. Harriman was subsequently
asked what would te the effect on general
business with the withdrawel of the rail
roads from the iron and steel markets, he
replied :
"I do not wish to answer that question.
I have been asked It before."
"Would a check to business be the Worst
thing that could happen?" -'
"It might not b an unmixed evil," Mr.
Harriman said. "The railroads now have
more business than they can hnndle. A
slowing up would mean the curtailment of
expenditures, an Increase In the surplus of
the rood. It would mean also a lessened
demand for labor and a reduced demand
for mcney. These , In consequence would
become cheaper.
"There are various Items In the railroad
Improvement the hire of labor, the ma
terial, etc. If more must be paid for the
hire of money, then there must be a re
duction In the amount paid for the cost
of material or the hire of labor.
"There Is so much money to be spent and
the Increased coat of one Item means a
decreara in the other two. The railroads
must hold net eamlnga and, as I have tried
to make plain, the total costs are bound to
be distributed.
"A check to business Is of o urse better
than a full stop," Mr. Harriman added,
"but what would be applicable to a full
stop will be measurably true of a alow
up."
Wants I.ecalled AKreements.
When Mr. Harriman was asked for a
solution of the national problem, he said:
"We want the Bhermnn anti-trust law
repealed so far as It relates to the rail
roads. I believe It waa not intended that
Its provtakns should embrace the railroads.
It was so asserted at the time the measure
was under discussion prior to Its enact
ment. In the Transmlssourl case tried un
der the Sherman anti-trust law It waa
finally held that ail agreements between
railroads were In restraint of trade. What
the railroads desire is that they be allowed
to make agreements under the regulation
and supervision of the government. This
would allow the railroads to do an Inter
state commerce business.
"If equitable ratrs and agreements ap
proved under the proper authorities of the
national government could be Inaugurated,
then legislation by states so far as It re
lated to Interstate traffic might become
null and void. We bel'eve that If the na
tional government should approve our rates
as being reasonable the action would be
reflected In tha State legislatures."

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION READ TO fXPtRT
It Contains is.OtM) Words and tow
tains All Evidence la Case
Haainael Caatradteta Mrs.
Thaw's Testlmoay. ,
NEW YORK. March ji-AnsWerlnr the
same hypothetical question. In response to
which the alienists of the defense declared
Harry K. Thaw waa suffering from an un
sound mind and did not know the nature
or quality of his act when he shot and
killed Stanford White, Dr. Austin Flint,
the first expert called today by . District
Attorney Jerome In rebuttal, declared It to
be his opinion that Thaw positively did
know (he nature and quality of his act
and knew that the act was wrong. When
court adjourned Mr. Delmaa had not be
gun hla cross-examination of Dr.' Flint,
who Is the first of six alienists to be called
by Mr. Jerome.
After receiving Dr. Flint's answer to the
Delmas hypothetical question, Mr. Jerome
had read to the witness the prosecution's
hypothetical question which contained some
15,000 words and which required one hour J
and eighteen minutes In the reading. Dr.
Flint again said without qualification that
Thaw knew his act was wrong ' and Is
therefore liable for the murder In the first
degree under the statutes of the state of
New Tork.
Mr. Delmas Indicated that he would cross
examine each expert searchlngly. Mr.
Jerome's sanguine prophecy that the taking
of testimony would be concluded by - to
morrow night has been abandoned, and
those concerned In the case again look to
April 1 as the earliest moment of closing
the trial.
Ilnnimel Contradicts Mr. Thaw.
Abraham Hummel was on the stand again
today and before Mr. Delmas could object
to a question put by Mr. Jerome the wit
ness had got Into the record the statement
that Evelyn Nesblt had told him that sho
had Informed Harry Thaw lo Tarls in
1P03 that Stanford White positively had not
drugged or betrayed her. Mr. Delmas at
first moved, to have the question and an
swer stricken from the record, but as the
district attorney seemed about to consent
to this plea, he Insisted that the answer
stand.
Hummel's further testimony was halted
until Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thr.w again takes
the stand to testlfas to whether or not
Hummel was acting as her attorney when
she made the statements to him which
were afterward embodied In an affidavit
It was reported tonight that District At
torney Jerome may be called to the witness
stand In sur-rebuttal by the defense. The
purpose, It was sold, was to question Mr.
Jerome as to certain actions against Abra
ham Hummel, who was a witness today.
This move was taken as a reason for the
defense allowing much of the Hummel
testimony to stand today. t
Dr. Flint's Testimony.
Dr. Flint when called to tha aland stated
his qualifications as an expert. He said
he had for' twenty-five years made a spe
cialty of mental diseases and has many
times testified a an expert. He said he
. , ... . , ..
rod read letters placed In evidence, the
... . . .. , .. . . '
will and codicil und the letter to Anthony
. . . ,, , . .
Comstoek. Mr. Jerome then began to read
tn . ,
which Mr. Delmas had submitted to hi.
experts. When he had concluded reading
the Delmas question to Dr.. Flint District
Attorney Jerome said:
"AssumlnaalMhese facts to be true, did
the man who shot and kilted another know
the rature and. quality of the act and
know that the. act was -wrong?"
Mr. Jerome put hs question In the form
of the statute which defines the character
of the Insanity which excuses crime.
"In my opinion," replied pr, Flint., "he
knew the nature and quality of his act and
knew that the act was wrong."
Mr. Jerome now said his own hypo
thetical question would be read to the wit
ness. He Asked all the., otfier experts to
listen closely, evidently In the hope that
vhen the time comes Mr. Delmas will not
Insist tlpon the question being re-read to
each witness. The district attorney culled
upon bis assistant, Mr. Garvan, to read the
question, and when Mr. Garvan began
Jerume left the room. Thaw's counsel,
with copies of the question In their hands,
followed the reading closely.
Jerotnr's Hypothetical Qnestlon.
The hypothetical question covers prac
tically all of the evidence In the rase. It
contained about 15.000 words. Throughout
the question Thaw was referred to as
"H. K, T," and Evelyn Nesblt as "E. N."
The question covered the. entire life of
Thaw, as It has been testified to by various
witnesses. It told of Thaw's various dis
eases as a child, of measles, mumps,
whooping cough and St. Vitus dance. In
1001 Thaw met Evelyn Nesblt, then a
chorus girl. Boon after he sent her a $50
bill lr. a boquet, which she returned to
him. He saw her at various times, and
finally In March, 1903, he sent the girl and
her m ther to Europe, where he Joined
them. In June In Paris he proposed mar
rlig't to her, but . she refused him.
Practically In her own worda the ques
tion detailed her story of what happened
In the Twenty-fourth street studio on the
night on which she claimed Stanford White
betrayed her. The effect of this story on
Thaw was detailed at length, ta was the
trip which Thaw and Evelyn Nesblt, travel
ing as man and wife, made in Europe. The
story of the subsequent relations of the
two was then gone into. Including the
second European trip, the marriage and
other events leading up to the night of
June 8. when Thaw shot Stanford White
on the roof garden. Several thousand words
were required to give the substance of
James Clinch Smith's testimony regarding
Thaw's actions on the roof garden before
the shooting, this being the testimony on
j which the district attorney principally re
lies to show that Thaw waa not Insane
when he did the shooting. Then came a
long description of the actual shooting.
Thaw's letters, the will and codicil and
the letter to Anthony Comstoek, all of
which are In evidence, were then referred
to, as were tha convetsotlons between Thaw
and his wife, in which he told hsr of other
girls whom he said had suffered at White's
hands. -
All Featarea of Testimony Reviewed.
The testimony of the elder Mrs. Thaw
regarding her son's conduct when he re
turned home from Europe In 1903, which
she described as unusual and unnatural,
was given.

No feature . of the case that could pos
sibly throw light on Thaw's mental con
dition was overlooked In the question.
Mr. Oarvan finished reading the Icing
question at 4:26 p. m., having been one hour
and eighteen minutes at the task.
Mr. Jerome then arose and asked Dr.
Flint If In his opinion aa a scientific man,
Thaw, when he shot White knew the nature
and quality of the act and that the act
was wrong.
"In my opinion," aald Dr. Flint, "the
person described as Harry K. Thaw, when
he shot Stanford White, knew the nature
and quality of his act and' knew that the
act was wrong."
This concluded Mr. Jerome's examination,
and he turned Dr. Flint over to Mr. Delmas
or cross-examination.
Mr. Delmas asked for an adjournment
until tomorrow morning to prepare 1 for
the cross-examination and Justice Fttx
gerald granted the request.
DOWIE'S FUNERAL IS QUIET
Body Arrayed la White Robe
Apostle la Laid to
Rest.
ol
CHICAdO, March 14. The funeral of
John Alexander' Dowle was held In Z on
City today and, was quiet and unostenta
tious. A small portion of the magnificent choir
that formerly officiated at the tabernacle
m hvmns. The body was arrayed In
4 the wonderful white robe which deceased
had worn since he assumed the title of
'first apostle of the Christian Catholic
church." .
Six weeks before he died, John Alexander
Dowle prepared his own funeral sermon.
It was decided not to permit It to be read
at the funeral, however, leat It should bring
greater dissension In Zlon City. The re
ligious settlement Is now torn asunder by
factions. In an effort to bring the warring
Interests together, Judge Barnes preached
a simple sermon. In which he extolled the
good qualities of the dead man.
The sermon prepared by Dowie was given
out for publication. This sermon makes tt
plainly evident that Dowla did not forgive
his enemies before he died, as he lashes
those who ousted him from control as
"dogs of hell."
The sermon concludes as follows:
I shall return, and with ruthless hand
shall 1 exterminate the vipers and the dogs
hnM t hu hltrh nlacee in the
city of Zlon. They dreamed, and In the
grossness of their dreams they thought
they had prevailed over the first "Pottle.
And now, priests and eldera of Zlon. I
shall return to- strike down. I shall
return in another form, brighter and more
beautiful and ten h"u""dm.,'Vn" . "'1'
terrible to cut ye ofT In the miost 01 your
sins' and to win back Zlon for the truth
and for them that held to me wora nu am
no evil.

SERICUS RIOTING DURING THE DAY
Mob of Thoarand Attacks First
Car Oat and Police Cor- ,
poral Is Badly Iu
' Jnred.
LOt'ISVILLE. Ky.. March H.-By a
unanimous Vote tonight the 800 striking
union employes of the Louisville Railway
Company agreed to accept the terms agreed
on by their executive committee and the
officers of the company. All of the strikers
will go back and full service in the city
and suburban lines operated by the com
pany will be resumed by tomorrow noon.
The strike began at 6 o'clock last Sun
day morning and caused practically a
complete tleup of oil the company' lines.
. The moat , serious rioting since tha street
railway etrlke began was witnessed at 11
o'clock at Fourteenth and Chestnut streets.
Five cars were -broken to pieces. Several
persons were badly Injured.
Iho mob numbered 1,000 and when the
first of three cars reached the scene the j fortunes and against the Idea of their des
outbreak' began. The cars were smashed j cending from generation to generation,
with stones and the entire front end of one 1 These against whom the president In
car was torn out. Other cars were literally ' velghed are those who are not giving a
torn to pleoea and many, stores and real
dences In the vicinity were damaged.
When the riot reached Its height and the
police saw that they would be unable to
cope with It by ordinary means they began
firing over the heads of the crowd, but this
only Increased the fury of the mob. The
surging mass of men and boys then made
a determined attack on the police.
Police Corporal Injured.
Curing this onslaught Police Gorporal
Whitman was hit In the head with a rock
and badly hurt.
; Those of the mob who were Injured In the
rush were hurried away by frlenda. , ..
The attack came aa a result of the gates
at a crossing being down to allow a train
to pass.
When the gates were raised the motor
man turned on the current and jumped off
the car. A big delivery wagon going up
Chestnut street was struck by the flying
car. ' The ' car was demolished and the
1 horses and wagon thrown over on the side,
waik. The car was left crosswise on the
I .
ijaca;.
The strike tireakers Jumped oft and were
charged and chased by the mob. A number
! of the strike breakers were badly beaten,
The fleeing men ran through the yards of
private residences and many escaped, po
lice reserves were hurried to the scene
with all the mounted policemen that could
be reached. They charged tha crowd re
peatedly. Farley, the strike breaker. Is In the city.
Twelve policemen. In addition to Captain
RUey, have been suspended from duty up
to noon today for Insubordination.
Forty Cars start.
The fifth day of the street railway strike
showed some betterment over yesterday's
meager service, about forty cars being run
by this morning. All were manned by Im
ported strike breakers.
The oars were screened with heavy wire
netting, to protect motormen and con
ductorst Automobiles and wagons contin
ued to carry most of the passengers. The
police, with an added force of 100 extra
men, appear to have the situation well In
hand. The mounted police ' have been
brought In from the suburban districts and
are being used to accompany aome of the
cars through districts which have been
scenes of disorder.
Police Captain Thomas O'Reilly was sus
pended todsy for Insubordination. He was
ordered to put six of his men on a car
leaving the East Broadway barns, but re
fused, telling Chief Guenther over the tele
phone that the strike breakers aboard the
car were thieves and thugs and all armed.
He waa thereupon summoned to the cen
tral station and hla men aaslgned to other
districts. There were numerous arrests In
the business districts and revolvers were
drawn In two Instances.
