NEW YORK, Jan. 20.—During the recital of Incidents fallowing her ruin ation by Stanford White, Evelyn Nee bit Thaw, on the stand today graph ically told of the attempt of Harry K. Thaw to commit suicide by swal lowing poison in a Paris hotel. Here It an excerpt from her testimony: “One day after dinner, Mr. Thaw went Into hi* room. When he came back hla face was deadly white, like chalk. He said, M have done It It’s all over. I have done it.’ I asked him what he meant and he said, *1 have taken a bottle of poison.’ I went Into hla room and on the table I found a small bottle and detected an odor of poison I ran to the telephone and tried to get a doctor. Meanwhile Harry had beer taken violently 111. He laid on the bed. Hie eyes were standing out of hla head. When the doctor came, they spoke In French and I did not under stand.” Following the ruling of Justice Dowling, denying District Attorney Je rome's motion to exclude the public from the court room. Attorney Martin W. Littleton, for the defense, took up the examination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, who again was obliged to re cite the story of her undoing by Stan ford White. She was the first wit ness called in today’s proceedings. By Littleton: Q—What did you tell Harry Thaw When he asked you to marry him? A—That I couldn’t. I told him It was because of Stanford White. He asked me to tell him all about Stan ford White. Q —Did you tell him A—You. Q —Will you tell us what you told Harry Thaw? Before the witness had a chance to repty. Jerome sprang to his feet. He began long argument, the substance of which was that a conversation three years before the homicide could have no bearing on Thaw's mental condition the night of the shooting. "Such a contention is absurd and Ir rational on the face of It. and the tes timony should not be admitted.'* argued Jerome. "It Is contended that he car ried Ills story In his mind for three jMWs and that he showed no signs of Inanity until that time.” the same authorities as J«- 1 r«me presented, Justice Dowling an swered the district attorney by declar- IniHPat his argurrfent was one rather for cfoss-esitwlsskse, The question was then read to the witness, and young Mrs. Thaw began her story. Krelfs Bellas Her Story. "f told Harry," she said, "how I met* Stanford White and visited hfs studio In West Twenty-fourth-st. T told him how I was brought there, by a girl whose mother knew mine. I told him how t visited the places In the tower. The studio was not like a rcgulaX ODC —there were no easels or artists* ma terials around. J l told him how we had lunch In another room and then went to one near the top of the tower. 'This room was draped with velvet and there were divans and pictures and other works of art about. There was also velvet swing In this room, and after luncheon Mr. White had the girls sit In the swing. "He would then swing us up to the celling. He had a Japaneae umbrella fixed to the ceiling and our feet would go through It until it waa full of holes. Then he would get a fresh umbrella. T told Harry how. after that, Stanford White called an electric hansom and sent the other girl and myself out driving tn the park. The other girl wanted to go to the dentist’s, and she took me with her. **T told all this to my mother. I In formed Harry. T also told him of visits t White’s studio In West fourth-st. I told him how we went In through three doors Hfter entering oast to fcchwarti'a.” By Littleton: Q —Did you tell Harry Thaw any thing else? A —Tea, I told him about going to ltincheon with another girl and now Mr. White had wine for us to drink, I told him how the other girl had several drinks and X had but one. I also said that about this time my mother went to Pittsburg and that Stanford White had sent her there. **T added that Stanford White had bought mother new dresses and hats and that he had paid her for Jerome “Batts la.** "Oh. this is very Irregular." broke In Jerome. "How does she know that Stanford White did all this—bought hats, dresses end the rest?" "If she told this to the defendant ghe may relate It now.” ruled the court. Toung Mrs. Thaw then continued: *T told Harry how my mother went to Pittsburg; how I was told by her to go out wtth no one but Stanford White; how, after she had gone, Mr. White sent a carriage to the theater for me and I went to the studio and donnod a klmona and posed for many 1 pictures. A few nights later. Mr. White again sent a carriage to the theater TOT me. I went to the tower expecting to meet other girls. When I got there, however. I found only Stanford White, and he said: *The others have turned me down,' when I asked him where the other girls wsre. "I described to Harry bow Mr. White showed me through the differ ent rooms and finally to a bedroom, whsre there waa a table and a bottle of wine. I told Harry how Stanford White wanted me to drink of the wine, and that I did It, after quite aome ob jection.” Jerome here objected to Littleton asking the witness any leading ques tions, and the court upheld the district attorney.

The wall that ascends to heaven otrffr'tfce* crippled passenger, freight and mall service between Detroit and southern Michigan Is no new griev ance. For yenrs the people of this section (west of Adrian especially) havo been clamoring for the privilege .of visiting the Btate metropolis without using the whole day going and coming on accommodation trains that don’t ac cdtnmodate. A year or so ago The Times renew ed the appeal for better service—point ing out that a fast night service each way between Chicago and Detroit would take care of this populous part of the state very nicely. The matter was taken up with the Detroit Board of Commerce and with the officials of the Lake Shore road, but all that came of It was another train each way be tween Detroit and Hillsdale via Ypsl lantl, which hr now taken off. The Lake Shore has a terse explana tion of the taking off of this train and the fast train west out of Toledo at. 2:15 p. m. It Is that the traffic won’t stand so many trains, and the road doesn't rare to keep them going just to see the wheels go round. The officials might have said that the unified New York Central system has other lines for taking care of the Toledo, Monroe and Chicago business out of Detroit— which may he a com pensating reflection for the unified system, but does the Detroit-bound denizens of the Shore district west of Adrian precious little good. Naturally the thrifty towns of the southern part of the state are In state of mind on the subject, and In Coldwater. Hillsdale and Hudson there is renewed Interest In the project of carrying an electric lines cast to Ad rian. where connection could he made with fast Wabash trains for Detroit. An electric roadbed was built from Adrian to Hudson by Tolodo promoters three years ago, but there the project has languished from lack of capital. The present Indignation imay give new life to the undertaking—ls the Indigna tion lasts. The suggestion has been made that the Lake Shore might also electrify Its network of branch lines centering at Monroe ’’and I/enawee Junction. This would help amazingly. But the Lake Shore is not evincing any tremendous Interest in the plan. Its private opin ion Is that, there are too many trolleys singing their song now on Lake Bhore territory. SPECIAL MILITIA FOR PACIFIC COAST DEFENSE WASHINGTON. Jan. 20—Stronger defenses for the principal cities of the Pacific coast is a subject to which tho war department is giving its atten tion. The fact in realized that In the event of a hostile emergency. San Franrisco, Portland and Seattlo are not as safely protected as they should be. For the purpose of discussing the subject, the war department re cent ly invited to Washington the ad jutant generals of California. Oregon and Washington. The scheme of the department is to have the various coast states assign a part of their mil- Itia permanently to assist In coast de fense, as reserves ano supports. X.-T Ann Arbor Man a Bankrupt.

Judge Phelan, of the recorder's court, again finds the Detroit United railway guilty of violating the ordin ance relative to the sale of worfctaf* men’s tickets in Fairvtew, and gtres the railway five days in which to com ply with the ordinance. The facts in the case are the same as in the previous action against the D. U.

The decision handed down Monday is based on the disposition of what the recorder holds to be a parallel caso decided recently in the supreme court. Judge Phelan hands the high courts of the country a Jolt, ip the course of his opinion, for what he terms the fine distinction often drawn where the lawbreaker is wealthy, saying: “For myself, look with suspicion upon the Fine-spun threads of reason- Ing that the average man cannot com prehend—should he deilre to read them—and which In the end l*ad to the sustaining of unjust rseulte end to unfortunate and unfair endings; the same having become so frsquent as to be almost Intolerable, and have caused presidential Interference where the lawbreaker Is possessed of groat wealth and Influence.” The decision in part is as follows: In a lata rase decided by the Supreme Court of this State. entitled Deneen vs. Houghton County Street Railway Com pany.

Delaney, the athletic di rector of the Kansas City Athletic club, who excels at track and field work, makes the prediction that tho team that will be selected to repre sent the United Btatea in the Olym pic games to be held In London next July will be 60 per cent stronger than the band of athletics that won the championship at Athens In 1906. Delaney attributes this great im provement to the collegians who will make the team and to the system of tryouts for selecting athletes. There probably will be three tryouts, one In New York, one In Chicago, and perhaps one on the ooast. These meets wll lweed out all the athletes but the stars. Delaney has picked a team of Amer ican athletes—s3 In number—which he believes could gather In the cham pionship of the London games with ease. Os the 63 men selected only seven were members of the team that journeyed to Athena and plucked Olympic honors. The seven are: J. D. Lightbody, P. T. Sullivan, George V. Bonhag, Ray C.

Moore perhaps holds the world's record for pitching extra inning games. He made the record last sea son with Peoria, pitching throe extra inning games, a total of 56 innings, In 11 days. The first game of his tre mendous feat was the 21-lnning game between Peoria and Clinton on July 25, when he finally won 3 to 0. HU next game was an 18-inning game with Cedar Rapids, In which he was beaten 2 to l, and he wound up by beating Clinton 3 to 2 In 15 Innings. The queer thing that happened to Moore was In the 22-lnnlng game with Clinton. In the seventh Inning of that game one of the Clinton batters drove a fierce liner straight at him. He was half turned around, and ing time to throw up his bands to s’op the ball, he dodged and the ball atructc him on the muscle of his right arm at the back Just below the shoulder. He picked up the bsll and threw *ut the runner, but the arm was numb from the force of the blow. Between innings he rubbed the arm and went back into the box.

He tried a straight ball, and to his surprise It Jumped and then broke In. His speed was unimpaired, but he almost drove the catcher Insane during the Inning, "crossing" him on .every pitch, al most.

CHAT cAND COMMENT OF SPORT cANP SPORTSMAN ©y ‘Pkal H. ‘Bmske. THE most rabid baseball fanatic in the country is Terry McGovern. The words '‘bug’’ or “fan" are far too mild to suit Terry's case. The once ♦great little fighter has simply gone SSSSSE' "batty*' over the i.rx ati c. game. versed with McGovern during his stay in the city last week were shocked at the form of Terry's mania. The pride of Brooklyn, who was a very clever little ball player in his early days now Imagines that he has developed into a real star. He played a few games last year and was permitted to do so by his watchful friends, more from the possible physical benefit It might bring than from any real impression that Terry was much of any good at the stunt But McGovern took It seriously. His brain was in all probability none too well balanced at the time —he had been but recently discharged from an asy lum—and now there is going to be trouble. “Oh, I'm the Jammy goods when it comes to second basing,” said Terry to a group of Detroit spotsmen, among whom was President Navin, of the Detroit baseball club. "I batted .880 In the Eastern league last year and this season I may accept the manage ment of the Scrantop club. They have offered me only ssoo a month (ale), but SSOO a month with a no-reserve contract that will enable me to dis pose of my own serrices-at thw end of the year isn’t to be sneezed at at that “I certainly can out-guess any pitch er who ever lived ana I’m that fast on the bates!

In a letter received at the local office Monday morning, Cobb flatly refugee to play ball at the salary offered, In spite of the fact that hie contract embodies very considerable raise from last sea son, totalling a figure, It Is understood, as large as that ottered any player on the club. “You’ll have to come across with more coin if you want me to play on your ball club,” Is the substance of Cobb's message to Mr. Navln. Tho club president has not yet re plied, though the fact that Crawford and Donovan, the other members of the Tiger “Big Three” have already signed makes it look as if the club was treating Its men with due generosity. “Germany” tfehaefer signed his con tract for I®oa before leaving for his home in Chicago Saturday. Owen Summers, the Indianapolis. pitcher, of whom so much Is eapected, sends on his signed indenture arriving Monday, In the same mall with Cobb’a refusal. I I’ll knock your block off. Do you want a real fight right here? If you do, Just come in that way once more and 111 hand yon what I did at Hartford.” In the wings Joo Humphreys was frantically gesticulating. Terry hesi tated and they rang the gong. When he came out for the next ro nd he w'as sane again. FOR a considerable portion of the baseball season of 1907, the De troit baseball club employed one Jack Sharrott, a veteran player and man- to far as is known, did his work con scientiously and well. He traveled j thousands of miles and saw a game nearly every day. His recommends tions lacked the shotgun generality |of the average scout —he touted the club only on two players. Pitcher 3uggs and Catcher Wells, of the Southern league—and everything went. well till along in August when Mr. Navin sent him out to view the work of the American association players. This league is located In the far west and comprises quite a number of typi cal western towns. t According to agreement, Mr. Navin sent the scout $l5O oi his salary and SIOO expense money, which collided with Mr. Sharrott at a burg on the map at Oklahoma City, more famous fr> r gambling joints than Its base ball team. Two or three days after the arrtvai of Mr. Sharrott, Mr. Navin received a telegram. ’’Rush me SIOO at once. It read, "letter explain*.” Navin waited for the letter. This Informed him how. the night after the draft from the club had been cashed, a bold thief had climbed through the transom of Mr. ffharrott’a room and had copped every single cent he had in his clothes, leaving only his watch and chain. “Oklahoma City, eh?” aollloqntsed Navin. And he wired back: “Can’t see you at this distance. What was the limit?” Sharrott promptly called off nego tiations with the club and started to “touch” hia old friend*. Aware that BUI Donovan knew hla mission. Shgr rot tried there and sent Bill a pathetic message, signed "Your club’s broken hearted scout.” "You would, would you.” was Bill's reply In effect, "why. I never saw auch nerve —you tearing round the country, trying to find a man to take my place and then sending on a touch message. And Mr. Shartott might have been In Oklahoma City yet bad It not been for President Navin, who finally took compaction on him and sent on a ticket, good for transportation from Oklahoma City to his home. The proper combinations of wind and Ice refuse to Join themselves to a date on which the general public can be secured to boue. the game along and keep the cash register working.

Oliver Frick. “All but six have been deport ed. These 17 came from Ontario. There were two each from London, Toronto, Bothwell and Windsor, and one from Campbleford, Goderich, St. Thomas. Chatham, Pe trolia, Hamilton and Kingsville. “These women, many of them mere girls, are smuggled into the country by relatives or friends who wish to save them from disgrace.

Men. as a rule, are first discovered by their enemies. Their antagonists turn on the searchlight, and the proof of merit will lie In being able to stand the flash. It was only In this way that Mr. White ever knew that dyspepsia was one of Mr. Black s worst enemies. Sit ting face to face at a two-by-four table, he handed his afflicted friend the bill of fare: Oyster Cocktail. Stuffed Olives. Boston Clam Chowder. Strained Gumbo. Sirloin Steak with Mushrooms. Roast Beef Hash. Boiled Ox Tail with Sauerkraut. Ixtbster ala Newburg. Baked Pork and Beans. Combination Crab Salad. t Hot Mince Pie. Pineapple Fritters. Mr. White ordered a of each.” Mr. Dyspepsia Black ordered crackers and a glass of milk. "I had such a big breakfast this morning,” he said, “that I'll Just take a bite to keep you I company.” But Mr. White could not be deceived; “I am afraid you can't stand the gleam. Mr. Black. Why don't you say you have dyspepsia and be done with It? You’ll always have that hungry look anyhow as long as you have dyspepsia. Now listen. My stom ach was in just as bad condition as yours at one time. But now I can eat anything, at any time. For Instance, this clam chowder or sirloin steak or oven the lobster would be just as wel come to my stomach as your crackers 'and milk.

DRAGNET OUT FOR ANARCHISTS IN FLEETJLDT BRAZILIAN POLICE HAVE THEIR EYES ON JEAN FEDHER. AL LEGED ARCH-CONSPIRATOR WOULD BLOW UP CONNECTICUT RIO JANEIRO. Jan. 20.—The police of Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes have the dragnet out for Jean Fedher, the arch-conspirator in the plot to blow up one or more of the ships of the American fleet now’ in this harbor. Hlb arrest is considered a matter of but a few hours. The Brazilian police, with full knowl edge of the details of the conspiracy, have cabled Information to the police of European nations. particularly France, which will no doubt result in the arrest of anarchists who are known to have figured in the plans and work ed in conjunction with the anarchists in this country. The greatest vigilance Is being maintained in this city. Every strang er arriving is subjected to close in quiry before he can move with free dom and the police of Sao Paulo, the hotbed of the plot, are confident that none of the anarchists will be able to leave that city. Extraordinary vigilance is being maintained on board the ships, as the result of a request on the part of tho Brazilian police. No chances are be ing taken, even though the police of ficials are confident that the plot has been successfully nipped In the bud. Four Under Arrest. Four men are under arrest in this city. Technical charges have been made against them, and it is said they are held in connection with the con spiracy. The people of Rio Janeiro know little of the danger which threatened the fleet and the police are keeping the affair a secret. There is no doubt that the advance knowledge held by the police of this city prevented the attempt to destroy one or more vessels and that the Con □ectlcut was the ship decided upon as the vessel to be attacked. This is thought to have resulted in the rumor that the Connecticut had been blown up. The police here believe that the attack was planned for a certain time and that one of the anarchists in Paris, where the report originated, had so much confidence in the plans being carried out that,when the hour for the attempt arrived, he remarked that “by this time the Connecticut Is in small pieces.” Were Warned of Trouble. In an official note the chief of po lice of Rio Janeiro says: Koinstlms before th«* arrival of the American floet at Rio Janeiro, the Urusillan government received from Washington and Paris, ad vices that anarchists of different nationalities intended to damage one or several ships of the Ameri can fleet. The names and addresses of the conspirators were Indicated hy Information which the police had received previously from France and German)'. The pollco of this district are working with the police of Kao Paulo and Minas Geraes, and 1 am sure avery pre cxiution will be exercised and the most rigorous vigilance observed brtth ‘STT" land ahu TTSA ~Td _ prSVSnt any injury being done. After making this statement, the go Into the details of the plot It is admitted, however, that the police of ports in other south American coun tries, whore the fleet will toueh, have been given full Information concern ing the plot and already are searching for anarchists who possibly may have gone ahead after learning that the plot bad failed at Rio. THIEVES ACTIVE IN ST. JOHN'S CHURCH A daring thief has In two succes sive weeks stolen purses and um brellas from the parishioners of St. John’s Episcopal church during com munion services. The Rev. Wm. F. Faber made announcement of the fact Sunday morning to put others on their guard. “I am acquainted with the fact that of late robbery and theft have become of almost daily occurrence on the public streets of the city, but that men should desecrate God’s holy tem ple by their crimes was beyond my furthest imagination,” he said.

I UNITED STATES CANNOT SHIRK RESPONSIBILITY The Rt. Rev. Charles H. Brent, D. D., bishop of the Philippines, preached In St. John's Episcopal church Sun day morning on the conditions In those Islands, and said we cannot, chirk the responsibility we have as sumed there. “By the duty we owe common hu manity, we should take up this bur den," said the speaker, "but when it has been definitely placed on us by the fortune of war we cannot, in honor, evade It. I know that it has been suggested that we withdraw from the islands, but on the face of it such a proposition Is an illogical one. If we leave the people to work out their own political salvation, why does it not follow that we should abandon them to work out their own systems of science, education, medicine, and religion? Such a course would be ab surd, and never to bo contemplated for a moment by an enlightened na tion." Coincidence in Death of Friends. The death of Fred Jarvis, a tele graph operator, in Grace hospital, and his burial in Saginuw, Sunday, brings to light the fact that, his boyhood companion. Edward Feney, a Michigan Central brakeman, was killed In the yards In West Detroit and was burled In Saginaw a year ago Sunday. Just one year to the very hour from the time Feney was killed his friend, Jar vis, died, and Just one year from the time he attended Feney*s funeral. Jar vis was burled In Saginaw. New York Life Seeks Modification of Laws Through Publicity. That the life insurance Interests of New York state Intend to make a vigorous effort to have some modi fications Id existing laws of the state passed at the present session of the legislature, Is emphasized by the text -of tha-advertisement which, the New York life Insurance Cos. publishes to day. This advertisement is out of the common, in that it deals largely with questions of legislation, instead of v.lth the usual dry facts and figures. It is addressed to the company's policy-holders and tells them that as they succeeded two years ago In puri fying life insurance through public opinion, so now, for their own protec tion. they must, in the same way, re peal and modify legislation. The policy-holders are told that the reforms of two years ago were necessary, but that reforms discredit and endanger their own achievement* when they write vicious and dangerous principles into the statutes of the state. The advertisement calls for the modification or repeal of four sections of the New York state Insurance laws, and probably foreshadows to some extent wbst the insurance companies desire. Following directly upon the fight be gun on the insurance laws at Albany this week, the statement of the New York IJfe Insurance Cos. is especially interesting. The resolution of Assem blyman George M. Palmer, minority leader, asking for the appointment of a committee to investigate the Arm strong insurance laws, appears to have been Inspired by statistics presented by President. Kingsley, of the Now York Life Insurance Cos. These fig ures show a decrease of 50 per cent In the business of the principal life insurance companies In this state.
