this. I disapprove of Jt. I have nothing
to say at this time regarding the legal
phase of the appointment this evening, but
I do say In the Interest of the citizens
that tonights procee. tings nre out of
order." the mayor said. Itelng unable to
get either Sid" to withdraw from the iicene
of action, the mayor uageted that matt'-rs
ret until morning, lie told thoae in the
office that If anyone disturbed Mr. Rose
water In his office he would call on the.
poliei and have the Intruders (a he char
acterised them) ejected. This suggestion
was adopted.
As rh'ilrman of the building nnd property
committee, however. Councilman Bridges
told the mayor he (Hrldgcs) questioned the
right of the mayor to say who should or
should not occupy any certain portion of
the city hull.
Councilman Jackson met the mayor In the
hull when Mr. Iahlman arrived. "We have
been having more fun than a box of
monkeys," remarked Mr. Jackson to the
mayor by way of a opener.
When things bad cooled down somewhat
Mr. Jackson remarked to his conferees, "I
wanted to take possession of the office ho
bad I could taste It."
Councilman Iirldgcs siid he really in
tended to make a demand for the office
this morning on behalf of Mr. Shaw, but
he said he could not restrnin the enthusi
asm of the other roun' llmen, who wanted
to do the deed then and there, and then,
he said, he had no alternative but to see
the thing through.
Doors Taken from Minxes.
Before the arrival of Mayor Dahltnan the
city hall laborer, under the guidance of
( nuncllman Bridges una Reporter Hunt, j
two Inner doors of Mr. Rosewater a of- !
fires were removed from their hinges so
Mr. Rosewater might not seclude himself :
In any larger territory than his private of-
flee. This act was condemned by Mayor I
Dahlman when he arrived.
Some of the language used by Council- i
man Bridges to Mr. Rnnewater when the I
rush win fresh would not be fit to print.
There had been considerable feeling be
tween Mr. "Rosewater and the council for

As originally Introduced this bill provided
the merging of the street romnilsnloner's
department and the engineering depart
ment, which would have hnd the effect of
futtlng Street Commissioner Flynn out of
office. Mr. Rosewater worked hard for the
passage of his bill and was threatened with
discharge If he persisted, but he told the
councllmen to go ahend. that he was not
.afraid of nil of them. The bill as passed
was so modified as merely to place part of
the street commissioner's department In
the engineering department, but In othr
directions gave the engineer added author
ity, such as the nppolntment of all em
ployes of his department without conflrnut-

Who itie Contenders Are.
Thomas Shaw, the newly appointed en
gineer, hns an office In the Piixton block
and resides at 4f3 Franklin street. He
worked In the city engineering department
during most of the time from PWfl to 1!X)
as computer nnd chief draughtsman. At
present ho Is engineer for the vtll'ige of
Dundee. He Is a Scotchman and about M
years of age.
Mr. Kosewntrr has been engineer of
Orrahn most of the time for thirty-five
years.
As a prelude to the big event last even
ing, the attack on Mr. Rosewater was
started during the council meeting wb"Mi
the bond of Assistant Engineer Crick was
offered for approval. The bond was re
jected without comment. Then Mr. Rose-

these charges were untrue and courted full
Investigation of all his acts as city en
gineer. By rejecting the asphalt plHnt
bids on mere technicality Mr. Zimman de
clared the eounollmeii were acting In a
foolish manner, thus obstructing needed re
pairs to streets. Mr. Zimman said thut
all charges brought In the past against
Mr Rosewater bad proved false.
Councllmen Funkhonise'r and Klaasser
were absent hist evening. Councllmen Zim

tlk;se seeking to oust Mr. Rosewater. Of
the eight who voted to displace Mr. Rose
water and to appoint Mr. Shaw five were in

The reasons given by the railroads for

"This, then, was Hurry Thaw's mental

conceived that ho had u misison to per

hell to him. He came back to New York
to try once more lo save her."
Mr, Delmas declared mat the stories
about Thaw's alleged wrongdoing were In
Vented to protect Wlilto from the wrath he
felt was to come.
"When Harry Thaw had convinced Eve

The speaker then told oi White meeting
Evelyn Thaw on the slreet and of follow
ing her to a doctor's elflce, nnd of her rf
bort of the Oi'currer.ce to her husband, to
gether with the statement uf May Mac
Knzte that Wl.l'.e h d boasted he would
have hr back with hlni, and continued:
"Harry Thaw had cause to become ex
cited. He had cause to lose his reason.
He Imagined White was trying to take the
girl away from him the eh'l who was his
lawful wife.
j "But, armed with his rlifht and Inspired
! by his God to redeem the uledpe at the
altur, he determined it should not be so.
"She was his wife," Delmas Continued
with renewed force, "his honored wife, and
when he heard that this man had said he
would get her back, he already saw her
pollutid by his touch. He already fancied
the crime committed, for he remenbered
thut it is written in the Word of G -d,
j 'Whosoever -'looketh upon a woman with
lust in his eyes hath already ommttted
adultery.' And from that time, gentlemen,
tne liaunilng thought was that he might
I lose her. and that tftar.foid While was u
constant menace to his homo. She. Evelyn,
In her testimony says that he. Mr. Thv.v.
j 'would wake In the middle of the night,
I and 1 found hlni sobbing and bit In j his
nulls. He was constantly asking me ques
tions, and this happened sometimes sev
l era! times ln the night.'
) "You must remember that one by one
: Harry Thaw had learned specific stories of
' othor victims i f hh; man. She had told
him the story Stanford White had . told
her about the girl In the pie."
, Mr. Delmas then read Evelyn's story of j
ths gtrl In the pie Incident and what Thaw I
told her about it, as well l what she
told 'him about It. He also read the testl- j
mouy legardlng what Thaw told her of the ;
other girls whom he bill were the vie- j
tints cf White. Thaw had toid her, she ,
testified, that White ought to le in the '
' penitentiary, as he was a dangerous man
anj was doing untold harm ln the commu
nity.
In support of his contention that Thaw
took as Interest In the- welfare of tlie rli Is
I whom he believed to have been wronged
by Stanford White Mr. Pel mas produced
the codicil In which Thaw set aside thou
I sands of dollars "to vindicate and redeeni

He battled on. And when he told his brave
little wife about his efforts she, better In
formed than ho was as to the power of
these people, told him that they were too
rich-and powerful for him snd that lie
would never succeed that they had friends
who would stop anything he tried to do.
The speaker then referred to the Incident
at Daley's and tlie effect of meeting White
and Thaw.
n.s he had expected to do. and asked that
a recess be taken until 2 o'clock. The re
cess yas ordered.
i "Put Vonrsrlf In Ilia Place."
' After recess Mr. Delmas dramatically re
viewed the events In Madison Square Har
den the night of the tragedy and then
asked:
' "What was the condition of Thaw's mind
at this time? Men. Judge your fellow man
as ye would be Judged, and In onler to
Judge him rightly place yourselves In the
spot whore he stood and surround your
selves with the circumstances which sur
rounded him.
' "Do this nnd you will be able to do him
the Justice that ifcu promised that you
would do him."
Mi'. Delmas. after reviewing the testi
mony of the experts and saying that the
prosecution had failed to show that Thaw
was sane the night he killed White, con-
favor of this defendant.
"The district attorney will make light of
the experts because they have not defined
the species Of Insanity whlrh Hirry Thaw
Was suffering. It Is a species of Insanity
which has been recognized in every state
of this 'union from farads to Mexico,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
r "Ah, gentlemen," said Mr. Delmas, dra
i matically, "turning to the alienist who
; testified for the prosecution, 'if you desire
a name for this species of Insmlty let mo
' suggest tt call It dementia Americana.
That Is the species of Irsanltv which

young man to death for what he did.
"I now, with all solemnity, leave In your
hands the fate of Hirry K. Thaw."
Thaw arose from Us chair, went to where
his mother and wife were sitting, grasped
the'r hands confidently, and then with held
erect, made his way to the prisoner's pen

Church, Lincoln, Neb. I want you to
know that I thoroughly enjoyed your
hook. There Is not a dry page nor a dull
chanter ln It. It Is nil pervaded by
healthy, cheerful spirit of humanity. You
may he plnd to know Just what I s.i'd
In my sermon last Sunday concerning the '
book and so I quote from my manuscript:
"The larger satisfaction of life are In the
reerlons of the sentiments, the sympa.
thles. I have been Impressed with this
In reading the recently published '0,00k of
our fellow citizen, Mr. Metcalfe. This
inok "Of Such Is the Kingdom" Is
ri'. thing but an overflow of sympathy.
Every page of It Is bathed In sentiment.
Every chapter touches some deep rooted
sentiment and quickens the wirmth of
human fellowship, and brings respect for
bunion, nature. That such a reservoir of
sentiment and tenderness, such rever
ence Dir humanity, such gentlens ex
isted In the nature of this political writer,
this partisan defender and critical editor
Is a surprise awaiting those who read
this book." I hope your book will have a
large sale and a wide, reading for It will
have a trail of good influence.
