MWjKIAL AGAIN Death of a Jurcr's Wife Was if."-'/. the Cause of Delay ' THE ENTIRE COURT SADDENED ip<?; ' * L'VC - ' v ; . ^ 'v : v # Husband Summoned to Bedside When Trial Had Been in Progress Less Than Four Minutes and Death , Came Shortly After His Arrival. ' : ' . . ' New York, Special.?Another trag xc chapter in tiie history or the Thaw-White eposide was written Thursday when grim death stepped ^ in to halt the famous trial in its t v' ' . fourth week. The wife of juror No. 11, Mrs. Jos. B. Bolton, passed away soon after her husband reached her bedside. He had been summoned from the court room, where the trial ?y had been, in progress less than four minutes. The formal announcement * of Mrs. Bolton's death was made in * eourt shortly after the hour set for the afternoon session, and Justice | Fitzgerald immediately ordered an' adjournment of the case until next - i 1 Monday morning. The court also ordered, with the consent of counsel, ?p?'/--; that the other 11 jurymen be given * their liberty and no longer be held :. together. He admonished the jurors to be guided by their honor and their oaths and not to read the newspapers Ipg ; or discuss the ThaV case with any111' Wy. Doctors to Testify in Court. The statement in court that counsel * for the defense and prosecution had considered the proposition of taking ? the dispositions of Doctors Bingham | and Deemar, the Thaw family physi|5 <jians, during the enforced recess which was endorsed by Justice Fitzgerald, subsequently modified by J by statements made after recess. Mr. Hattride, of counsel for Tliaw, says that the defense has decided that ? ; ; > it will be of greater advantage to haye the physicians testify in court. ' r? ' Mr. Hartridge said that what they 1 ' have to say w.mld be of greater ad- ( vantage if told to jury by word of i mouth than if depositions were read. The death of juror Bolton's wife ! - east gloom over the criminal courts 1 r - &uildipg and had a particularly de- 1 pressing effect upon every one con- * -nected with the trial. The prisoner I seemed to feel the matter quite keen- 5 \y when he was brought into court 1 hear the formal announcement of < jfe..." 'the order for a postponement of his ] 'further hearing. * The fact that the * ''Thaw jurors have been kept in close i * confinement since they were select- 1 (*? ' ed for trial service and that Mr. ^ Bolton had been allowed to visit his 1 i" wife's'home only three times during his wife's.fatal illness, lent a pathetic aspect to the case and the j greatest Sympathy to the afflicted man ] was expressed on all sides. ^ Trial Resumed. 1 The trial was resumed on Monday. ^ | Expert testimony was taken to prove Thaw insane. f'l never wanted to < shoot the creature. I never wanted to kill him. I knew he was a foul creature, destroying the mothers and , daughters of America, but I wanted through legal meaiio to bring him to trial. I wanted t(> get him into court ?to bring him to justice. But Pro- i yidence took charge of it; it was an act of Providence." This is Harry K. Thaw's own story of the killing of Stanford White. It was told by him to Dr. Britton D. Evans, the alienist, last August in the Tombs. Dr. Evans repeated the prisoner's words to the jury which is tring Thaw for his life. District Attorney Jerome fought'> hard last week against the introduction of this evidence, which the de fAn co Kolicvps is conclusive proof ? ? . that Thaw did net know his act. was wrong. Once the testifying physicians had declared that in their opinion Thaw was insane at the time he made the statements to them, however, the rules of evidence permitted the introduction of the prisoner's words. ;? For a Two and One-Half-Cent PasJ\l senger Fare. i .v.Madison, Wis., Special.?The State railway commission ordered that the railways in this State give a flat two and one-half-cent passenger fare, and recommended that family mileage books of 500 miles be issued for $10.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS What Our National Lawmakers Are Doing From Day to Day Filibuster in the Senate. The sudden development of a fullfledged filibuster resulted in the Senate when an attempt was made tc force the adoption of the conference agreement on the immigration bill. This report carries a provision intended to aid in the settlement of the California-Japanese problem, and speedy action was decided by administration Senators. Expressing sympathy with this object, yet regarding the report with suspicion on other points, Messrs. \Bacon and Tillman first endeavored to. have action delayed that they might study the. report. When this was refused the filibuster began. Mr. Beacon held the floor for two hours and a half. Mr. Tillman remarked that lie was preparing to make a 10day fight on the floor against the report, because he objected to being run over as with an automobile. Mr. Bacon objected that the report changed existing law in respects which he believed, on hurried examination, would deprive Southern States from obtaining even the meagre labor supply from abroad which was available under the present immigration laws. A truce was declared at the suggestion of Senator Spooner, and the report will again come up for consideration. Administration Senators interested in the adoption of the report were alarmed by apparent Democratic-hostilities. Disclaim Party Policy. All of the Democratic leaders when questioned as to their attitude disclaimed the adoption of a party policy in,regard to the report and the Senators making the objection insisted that they were actuated wholly by resentraeni of what they thought was an attempt to force immediate action. They said that their state-1 ments that they had not had an opportunity to examine the report were sincere, and that there were no ulterior motives involved. Senator Blackburn, chairpjan of the Democratic steering committee, was in the Brownsville hearing when the report was called up. He said there had been no discussion of the report and that he felt sure that there was no disposition to filibuster against it beyond carrying it over.r Senators Bacon and Tillman made similar statements. They agreed that the restriction of immigration provided in what is familiarly known as the u Japanese coolie clause/' is of jreat importace. They would not say what their attitude would be, nor whether they favored a party confermce concerning it. 'It was made plain however, that they would consider the report over night and then, if the question proved to be one on which it was advisable to hold a conference the party will be called to jether. The Smoot Case Again. The session was besrun with an ex tended address by Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania in defense of the right jf Reed Smoot to his seat as Senator from Utah. Mr. Knox received from ais colleagues may congratulations 5n his speech. The agricultural appropriation bill was taken up for consideration. The cerdentials of Robert L. Taylor elected to the Senate from Tennessee, were presented by Senator Carmack, whom he suceeds. Naval Bill in the House. The naval appropiation bill occupied tne entire time of the House. 1 The single remaining section is that increasing the naval establishment. It was allowed to go over, when it an pffnvt. will he made to AO WU v -- ??? ? ? reduce the number of battleships provided for in the bill. In connection with the restrictions put upon the power of the Secretary of the Navy to order repairs upou a vessel, a provision was inserted requiring that none of the restrictions shall be constructed to interfere with the repairs' of vessels damaged in foreign waters or on the high seas when necessary to enable them to get home. The bill was still under consideration when the House adjourned. Increase of the Navy. The proceedings of the House on the naval appropriation bill were devoted largely to the consideration of the ouestion of the increase of the navy, with especitl reference to the necessity of two battleships of the Dreadnaught type. The effort to reduce the number was defeated after a long debate. The proceedings were opened by a motion made by Mr. Burton, of Ohio, to eliminate one of the big vessels, and he made a speech in support of his motion in which he took occasion to contrast the American navy with the Japanese navy to the detriment of the latter, showing that with ships now under construction the navy of the United States than that of Japan and was at prest -li> 1 TT~ -P cdi a nan im icichcu iu mv, number of ships under construction, som/5 of which would not be completed until 1912, or even later , and maintained that there was no immediate occasion for further construction even of the one battleship now contemplated. Finally he said that the United States of all nations of the world should take the lead in the mcn-e for a limitation or armaments, looking hopefully forward to the time when peace and amity should exist among the whole human race.

Chicago, Special.?A proposition J to establish a State-owned railroad ! from Chicago to Savannah, Ga., was suggested to Corporation Counsel Lewis by Gozernor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in a letter. Gov. Smith declared that such a line would reduce freight rates and would have a great influence on trade relations with the South. The letter says: "I am much interested in the railroad rates from the lakes to Georgia. Our State owns a railroad from AtI ? . m .1 it. ~ i lanta to unauanooga ana mere is a strong sentiment in favor of extending it to Savannah If Cincinnati could reclaim control of the line built by its citizens from Cincinnati to Chicago, and Cincinnati and Chicago would join a movement for the construction of a line from Chicago to Savannah, there might be a through trunk line from Ccicago to Savannah, I operated solely for the purpose of j paying expenses and interests of the | actual cost of construction without I the burdens of watered stocks and | bonds. Such a line would prove bent eficial not* only to the great cities through which it passed but to a broad territory adjacent to the line. It would reduce freight rates more than 25..per cent. It would have a most marked influence on our trade relations.'' Five Business Houses Burn.

It is much below the price that good qualities of Salmon have sold for in the past. Argo Red Salmon is cheaper than beefsteak at 10 cts. per pound, because it contains more nourishment.
