Ilmu quoted a having tent ified that
Thaw threw hlft arms out in the figure of
cross, after killing 8tsnf.rd White.
The Jury also asked that the testimony
cf Hsrry 8. Blase, another eye nHnrn of
the tragedy, be read, and this was or.lereJ
dona.
Tritlmaif of Woniaa.
Lastly tha Jury asked to have read to tt
the testimony of Evelyn Xeshlt Thaw, ao
fr as It related iu ilia shooting; tha teU-
mony of Thunwi ilcCaleb aa to where the
party wan anting on the rinif garden and
the testimony of In. Allan Mcl.ane Hamil
ton, aa far aa It was allowed tfora tha
Jury. Dr. Hamilton was allowed during
the trial to testify that he had made four
visits to Thaw following the tragedy and
had formed an opinion as to the defend
ant's mental condition then. What this
opii.lon was he was not pennltetd to state.
Firman Smith also asked to have read
thot portion of Justice Fltsgerald's charge
rotating to the testimony of Drs. Evans
and Wagner.
In referring to the testimony of these
two experts Justice Fitzgerald siild that
they had made a personal examination of
the defendant and JJiat whatever the de
fendant said to tha expert and was con
aldered by them In reaching an opinion was
competent evidence for the Jury to con
sider. Meyer Cohen's testimony had been
largely a personal demonstration by hlm
aelf of ThaWa attitude after the shooting
and his manner of approaching Stanford
White. Henry S. Flalse was with Cohen
the night of the tragedy.
Talk frith Thaw.
The testimony of James Clinch Smith wis
relative to the conversation he had with
Thaw Just prior to the shooting. Finally
the Jury asked to hear again the testi
mony of the doorman on duty at the Ten
derloin precinct police station the night of
Thaw's arrest and who gave testimony as
to the defendant claiming to hear the
volcea of young girls. The Jury also
wanted the cross-examination by Mr.
Jerome of one of the doormen who said
there were half a doien women of the
Tenderloin In the station while Thaw was
there and that some of them were unruly.
Another doorman hud said that Thaw com
plained of hearing the voices of girls, but
he (tha officer) could hear no sounds what
ever. When the Jury's requests had progressed
this far It seemed that there could no
longer be any doubt but that the rational
or Irrational conduct of Thaw the night
of the homicide was playing a leading part
In the deliberations of the Juror.
Jury Asks More Questions.
When the court room door were opened
for the second time during the day,
hortly after 3 o'clock, and It was an
nounced that the Jury was about to enter,
excitement In the criminal courts build
ing was at high pitch. The members of
the Thaw family took up their pluoes.
When the Jurors came In several of them
Warn excitedly talking together.
"The Jury, as I understand It," said
Justice FitzgerHld, when he ascended the
bench, "desires to ' have read again the
pot Hon of the court's charge relating to
the testimony of Drs. Evans and Wagner.
"The stenographer will comply with the
request."
The Jury during the morning had re
quested to hear this section of Justice Flts
gerald's charge and the testimony of Drs.
Evans and Wagner seemed to be playing
an Important part In tholr deliberations.
Justice Fltsgerald's charge relating to
these propositions called attention to the
fact that they had the opportunity per
sonally to examine tha defend, nt. He said
that the converaatlons they had with Thaw
yas competent evidence regarding his
sanity or Insanity at the time of his ex
amination and then quoted the following
decision of the court of appeals:
All that this defendant said and did dur
ing the several examinations by the ex
pert was competont as besrlng upon his
montal condition at the time he was ex
amined. The examination of the experts
was directed to his mental condition al
the time they say and from the conclusion
they then reached and medical and other
facts proved they would be competent to
give on the trial and opinion as to his
sanity or Insanity at the time of the
homirlde. The Jury la entitled to the facta
upon which a sanity expert bases his
opinion, and when those facts are the re
sult of his own Interviews with the de
fendant. It Is not only competent, but It Is
necessary that they should be laid before
the Jury.
Foreman Smith wrote a note and passed
It to Justice Fitzgerald, who then di
rected that that portion of hi charge re
lating to the hypothetical questions put to
the experts for both the prosecution and
the defense be read.
The charge stated that the Juror were
not bound to accept nor allowed to accept
opinions based on hypothetical questions
a they would accept fact. In the hypo
thetical questions, the court doclared, It Is
of first Importance that the facts con
tained tn such question have been estab
lished to the satisfaction of the Jury.
Opinions on such questions should be con
sidered In connection with all the evidence
tat the case.
1 believe now that that la all. gentle
men," said Justice Fitzgerald.
"No, sir," Interposed Foreman Smith,
there was one more request."
"That request," said Justice Fttigerald,
1s that considerable portions of the Burn
ing up address by Mr. Dejnia shall be
read to you. I cannot grant It. It Is not
evidence and you must remember that you
can have nothing but the evidence g'ven
to you."
The Jury then retired again and continued
its deliberation.

riTTP.IH RfJ. April 11. "No matter how
cruel Harry Thaw and Evelyn have been
to me I would like to aee the Jury acquit
the defendant for the comfort It would be
to Florence. I stnrerely hope the iurv does
s. quit him, and so n, for the sake of my
dnughter and what It mean to her peace
of mind."
This is the statement made by Mrs.
Charles Holms n, mother of Mr. Harry K.
Thaw, after a strent'ous eighteen hours of
anxiety awaiting the return of the Thaw
jury.
When It was understood that It was al
most an Impossibility for anything accurate
to get from the Jury room Mrs. Ilolman
was Inclined to take It as a bad omen.

Mrs. Holman had nothing to say. Nor

Baron d'Eetournelle de Constant, French
member of The Hngue conference and a
foremost figure In the French senate,
characterized the Carnegie Institute as an
"act of faith In the future of our civiliza
tion." Speaking on general subjects,
Haron d'Efto'jrnelles said:
Where will one find more than In Amer
ica such evidence of unceasing human uc
tlvlty 7 In spite of vlcifsitudes and of
catastrophes from which America has suf
fered, a well as France, what a derisive
lemon in optimism you have offered to our
old world. My last visit to America was
six year ago, but, nevertheless. It Is dlilt
cult to compute the services rendered by
your country to the cause of humanity in
the brief time which has Intervened. I
came in February. iSol. to Wnshlnirton,
New York and Chicago, to plead the cause
, which 1 dear to me. and demonstrate the
I necessity of a new International policy,
and the urgency of an International or-
franlzatlon In behalf of peace. We have
lad enough of Inevitable disasters, like
those of San Francisco and the mines of
Couriers In France, leaving behind them
t a train of grief nnd death, and we should
abstain from adding to them voluntary
catastrophes of war. We should devote
' to the work of life some part of the re
sources mat we now devote to the work of
destruction. It Is of little consequence that
this work may be Judged chimerical, or
that Its success may be more or les dis
tant. We content ourselves with the per
spective of the harvest. Certainly the
farmer may be proud of his ripening wheat

History will accord to President Roose
velt the honor of having recognlred the
true basis of the present social problem. I
presume that he desired, before everything
else, to serve hi country when he took
the Initiative In a rutlonaf evolution which
would l of a much advantage to tho
rntted State as to any other nation. He
that ss It may, he ha given the world a
magnificent -example of true patriotism. He
has shown that it does not sufn.ee alone to
he ready to die for one's country, as we
all are, but that we should also work to
develop her progress, assure her safety,
not only by organizing and renewing her
forces, but by keeping from crippling or
compromising them In (fruitless complica
tion; by bettering her foreign relations,
by preparing lasting and honorable recon
ciliation and friendly solution of new and
always possible conflict.
President Roosevelt enme Into power at
a time when Europe was eilll In mourning
for two of tho greatest servant of civiliza
tion Glndstone and Gan.betta. Hike them,
he understood the growing solidarity which
draws penpie together and which In spite
of the Infinite diversity of their conditions

Action of Reveral
Railroads.
KANSA8 CITY, April ll.-The Interstate
Commeice commission convened here to
day to hear various complaints agulnst
the railroads regarding freight rates.
Among the cases to be heard are' two (lied
by the Kansas City Board of Trade against
the Burlington, Missouri Pacific, pant Fe
nnd Rock Island railroads, which are
charged with Imposing excessive rates on
grain from points outside Missouri to Kan
sas City and also of maintaining an ex
cessive reoonslgnment charge of (2 per car.
Among the other cases are the fallowing:
The Producers' Pipe Line company against
the Rock Island and other roads; N. E.
Wllholt, formerly an Independent o!l man
of Springfield. Mo., against the Missouri
Pacific. It Is probable that the commis
sioners will also ngree to hear the evi
dence In the westbound freight rate case.
The latter complaint was filed with the
commission In Washington, February 7, and
Is considered one of the most Important
cases ever brought before the commission.
Omaha People Interested.
The petition for a hearing on this case
was made by fifty-flve large dry goods
and mercantile firms of Kansas City,
Omaha and St. Joseph. It Is directed
against the Rock Island, the Burlington,
the Milwaukee, the Great Western and
the Chicago & Northwestern railways,
which are charged with having entered
Into an agreement to maintain unjust, un
lawful, excessive and unreasonable freight
rates against the shipping Interests of
the Missouri valley. The case Is com.
monly known as the westbound rate case,
In that It afTects rates to the west and
southwest, the natural gates to which are
tho three cities making the complaint.
It Is argued that rates from eastern points
to Kansas City are far In excess of those In
effect to other points to which the mileage
Is the same and that the result Is that
Kansas City and othor towns working
under the same conditions sre seriously
handicapped In carrying on their trade.

of People.
The gymnasium hall of the Toting
Wom n's Christian association In the Pax
tr.n l.lo.k was fiiird Thursday evening with
a large number of friends of the asso
ciation to enjoy the exhibition given by
the gymnastic classes under the direc
tion of Miss Florence tvnlson as drill
master. Beats were provided for the peo
ple at the west side of the hall, the exer
cises taking place on the east side.
The first part of the program consisted
: of marchings and fancy steps by a diss
of twenty-fouf young women In gymnasium
; costume. The movements were all ex
! tremely well executed and graceful and
were followed by an exhibition of floor
work calisthenics. Then came a pretty
i dumb-bell drill by twelve girls In gym
I naslum costume, which was full of grace
. and Interest, the different movements being
I given with almost perfect unison.
The thrilling feature of the program
was the gnme of bosket ball between the
Whites and Blues. The line-up was:

In the Interval between the two halves
of the basket ball game a novelty In th
form of "pickpocket" was played by a group
of a dozen or more young girls to the
i side, the game being to take a handker
chief from a bowling pin without knock
ing the pin over, and the player of oppos
ing side to catch the handkerchief taker
before she could return to her own side. In
which event she was made a prisoner to
the catching stde.
The financial proceeds of the entertain
ment were very encouraging. The enter
tainment will be repeated Saturday evening.

Omaha Forty Years Attn, or April, !HtT
OMAHA, April ll.-To the Editor of The
Bee: A communication from the pen of
W. H. Wlntersteen. calling In question the
accuracy of my Htatemtnt to your reporter
upon April 8 has Just arrested my atten
tion. 1 am suie It is not myself who Is
mixed In my dates, but either my critic
1b, or hus fiTgotten the facts and condi
tions of April, 18i57. I came from Maine
to the pujrtorate of the Main Street Metho
dist - Episcopal church In Dubuque, la., In
the month of August, lb6fl. The following
December the Northwestern railway was
completed to Council Bluffs. The follow
ing April tha annual conference of the
Methodist Kplsoopal church met in the
First Methodist Kplscopal church lr this
city, presided over by Bishop Ames. I
started from Dubuque on the first Monday
of April, W, to attend that session cf the
conference, "accompanied by Rev. C. Ii.
Trusdell of Clinton, la.; Ftv. B. K. Young
of Murlon, la., and B. V. Creary, D. D..
of Si., Louis. Monday night we were
snowed In at Boone, la., and could not set
f'Ut of that city until the following Satur
day morning, when we were able to get
through to Council Bluffs. Ttie snow was
so deep and the piles by the side of the
track were bo high that I do not rememtwr
to have seen a hcuse or tree from Boone
to O-ur.ctl Bluff We reached Omaha at
noon, crossing the river from the Bluffs,
then tho terminus of the railway, on Sat
urday. I think, on April 7.
The last regular session of the cortfer
ence that had convened the previous
Wednesday occurred that afternixo, when
the minutes of the conference were read
! and approved and the conference a4-
Journed. with the unusual unoVrwtandint?
that the bishop should pmich ami ordain
j any to be ordained the following Babbxth
morning, which he did. Instead of a ser
mon he gave a full exposition of the last
chapter of the Epistle to the Romans.
I Though the snc w was deeper than I ever
! saw tt before or since. It was a warm day,
' and, fearlnsj the Ice might o out of the
i river, with the others of my company I
: returned to Council Bluffs Sabbath morn
' Ing, and the following day went to Ne
braska City, where I waited till the follow
: lag Friday before we cnuld get down the
river on the first boat that had come up
that year.
In my brief Interview on April 8 In two
unimportant particulars I was misunder
stood. The conference was not a Baptist,
but a Methodist conference. It lusted from
Wednesday till Sun. lay. including the ser
mon and ordination. I was nt a KiptiM,
but a Methodist clergyman. I thin the
old records of the Methodlxt Ritscopal con
ferenr and alto of the Northwestern rail
way will corroborate these statements as
to dates.
I was a guest In this city at that time
. Colorl B. P. Chivlnerton, at that period
a conspicuous character In the country.
The First Methodist episcopal church
stood. If 1 am correctly Informed, where
Is now the old pctitRce building, and at
that time owned the entire block. If I
am Incorrect In sny of these statements
I shall be glad to be corrected, but as to
the data of April. and the conditions
here at that time I am sure I am not
mixed. Whether or not the atmospheric
conditions have really changed or that was
an exceptional year I am not sure.

G. A. Magmey spoke last night bofore
the Equitable Tux league on "New Zea
land," telling about the advanced Ideas In
government being carried out, there.
"New Zealand Is a small country," sold
Mr. Magney, "but It Is the best governed
country In the world. There are no very
rich nor any very poor there, because the
laws are made to prevent this. They have
a system of graduated taxes on land. A
man who owns only five acres pays less
taxes in proportion than the man who owns
100 acres. And the man who lives outside
the country and owns land In the country
le taxed nearly twice what the resident
owner must pay. There Is a graduated ta
on all Income above $1,000 a year.
"The government owns the railroads, tel
egraphs and telephones. It also owns the
coal fields. They never have strikes, be
cause they have compulsory arbitration.
If men are dltesallsfled with wage they
come before the board. The decision of
the board Is final and whether In favor of
employer or employs must be abided By.
They have the compulsory eight-hour day
In all lines of work. An employe Is not
permitted to work more than eight hcurs
even if he wants to. The employer Is also
compelled to give the employe a half holi
day each week. They have a national In
surance company run by the government,
and the women vote at all elections. Citi
zens are pensioned by the government after
fliey reach the age of years. Under these
advanced Ideas New Zealand has existed
for nearly twenty years in the greatest
prosperity."
The league adopted a constitution and by
laws. H. A. Rice was elected president
and I. P. A. Bruechert secretary.

rendered most pleasingly and were ac- i
corded much applause, reflecting great
; credit upon the work of Director Karl
I Petersen, who had the concert under his
i direction and preparation; but the most
j artistic work of the evening was that of
I Mr. Scherzel. He played the violin sjlo
"Zlgeunerwelsefi" and the sextet from
"Lucia dl Lammermoor" with notable skill
and was obliged to respond to encores,
which were tributes to his ability. A at
Isfactory audience attended the concert.

INNOCENT COUNTRYMAN GETS OFF EASILY
Absent-Hlndedlr Steals a Watch and
la Then Looked Up, bat Im
presses His Honor
with His Starr.
Resplendent in waistcoat that had once
been white and with a shirt that was made
for, though now minus, a stiff collar, Beau
Brummel was ushered Into the court room
from the bullpen at the police station
Thursday morning, a harbinger of spring
and warmer days and greatly In keeping
with the smiling weather of the morning.
His face was unahaved had been so for
many a day tobacco Juice streaked the
front of his breast, his hair was uncombed,
he had not washed In recent days and his
clothing lacked pressing, but he was tha
leader among the swagger ones of the
American never-work aristocracy. Hla
name woe "Jlmmle" Stone, and none were
there among his peers who could sport a
vest like (hat one. It was more than (ancy
with the spots of tobacco, dripping food,
alley dirt aud Jail floors adorning Its front,
and probably also its back. James was
properly proud of it and drew the coat back
so all could aee hla treasure. He had a
private conversation with his honer for a
brief moment, denying the charge of va
grant which l he annoying police had placed
BKatnat him, and then drew aside to make
way for the hoi pollol which was sure to
follow as he stepped nimbly out of the
room at the court's bidding.
The two young men were clearly fresh
from the fc'ren fields of tho sunkissed
pral'lo and not of the sordid, wtoked oily,
but the charge against them was petit lar
ceny as they were haled before Judge
Crawford In police court Thursday morn
ing. John Ayers and T. Palinatltr were
their nurnes and they had Just come to
town for a sliort visit from their homes
In the country. 1
"We didn't Intend to steal her watch,
your honor," said one, looking down Ilka a
bashful boy In school, "we Just took It
while we wsra talking to her, and I stuck
It In my pocket. Then when we walked
away I forgot all about It until afterward,
when I went back to give it to her and she
had rne arrested. I didn't Intend to steal."
The boys had stopped to talk with a girl
on tha street, meaning no harm. The
complaining witness failed to show up to
testify, but the voles of the defendant rang
true and there was no doubting It. They
were fined $1 and costs each, but it was the
bra&th of the innocent country atmosphere
surrounding them that saved them from
more serious treatment.
