The district attorney gnt\nthe contents of the affidavit before the\nJury tills afternoon by reading certain of\nIts contents in the form of questions and\nasking Mrs. Thaw If Bhe told such things\nto Mr. Hummell. In each instance she\ndeclared she had nol. Slip also denied ever\nhaving signed such an affidavit, but admitted that she signed some pnpers for\nWhite in the MadtBon Squire Garden tower\nthe nature of whloh she was not uware of.\nIt wns during the morning session that\nJerome played his strongest card of the\ndny. Mi\"). Thaw had denied most positively that she ever went to see doctor\nCarlton Flint, with Jack Barrymore, the\nactor.\n\"Call Dr. Flint,\" commP-nded Mr. Jerome to a court attendant. The doctor\nenured from the witness room and was\nescorted to within a few feet of the witness ehair.\n\"Did you ever see that man before?\" Mr.\nJerome asked Mrs, Thaw.\nThe witness seemed Just a bit startled;\nlooked quickly and Intently at the physician, then turned to Mr. Jerome and shook\nher head.   \"Never,\" she declared,\nThaw was intensely interejted ln this\nIncident and when It was over, he turned\nto th< newspnper men sitting nearest him\nand whispered:\n\"That man made a mistake in coming\nhere. He stood there a liar. Do you catch\nthe point\u2014a liar?\"\nMrs. Thaw was In much better spirits\nwhen she took the witness stand today\nand looked decidedly better physically\nthan she did last week. She appeared\nthoroughly .it home In the witness chair\nnnd with a foot stool and back cushion\nseemed quite comfortable. She had all her\nwits about her and did not fare at all\nbadly at the hands of the district attorney .who Was more gentle In questioning\nher than he was last week.\nIstead of further hurting the cause of\nher husband, Mrs. Thaw managed to make\ntwo decided gains. When court adjourned\nlate Thursday, It appeared from her own\nstatements that she used a letter of credit\nfrom Stanford White, while travelling in\nEurope and turned the letter over to Thaw.\nToday Bhe explained that Thaw took the\nletter of credit from her, saying the money\nwas \"poison\" that neither she nor her\nmother must touch, and that he would\nprovide them with funds. Whatever ot\nthe money ww spent she declared was ror\nher mother.\nThe second point Mrs. Thaw made concerning cablegrams Thaw is said to have\nsent to Stanford White from ]>>ndon. It\nappeared Thursday that these cablegrams\nwere requests to White to use his Influence\nto keep MrH. Nesbltt from \"raising a row\"\nor interfering with her daughter In her\ncontinuing in company with Thaw.\nMr. Jerome took up the subject again\ntoday, but his questions elicited the information that the cables did not concern\nMrs. Thaw at all, but related to a man.\nsecretary of the American embassy In\nLondon, who Mrs. Thaw said \"sneaked up\nto mamma's bedroom and Insulted -her.\"\nShe said the man also Insulted her and\nThaw went In search of him, but failed\nto find him.\nToday's proceedings dragged a great deal\nand it wa\u00ab evident, long before the - announcement of the fact, that Mr. Jerome\nwas nearlng. the end1 of his cross examination.

Harriman Tells How\nStock Market is\nPlayed\nSecutitiej Bought at $80,000,000 and Unloaded at $ 150,000,000\u2014Lesson\nIn High Finance\nNew York, Feb. 25.\u2014The investigation of the financial operations of the\nHarrlman group through the Union Pacific railroad, undertaken by tho Inter-\ncommerce commission on behalf of the\nUnited States government, wns resumed\nat the federal building al 10 o'clock this\nmorning. 13. H. Harrlman, president of\nthe Union Pacific, waa the first witness\nand under examination by Frank Kellogg, began an explanation of the financial operations of his compny, commencing with the issue of one hundred\nmillion convertible bonds In 1901 for\nthe purpose of stocking the Southern and\nNorthern Pacific.\nThe inquiry developed the fact that\nafter the decision of the supreme court\nof the U. S., dissolving the Northern\nSecurities Company, the Interest of the\nIT. P. company in that corporation was\nreturned to them in the shape of shares\nof the N. P. and G. N. companies These\nwere subsequently sold as Mr. Harriman explained because the revenue do-\nrived from them was limited nnd the\nproceeds were invested in stock of the\nIllinois Central railway, Atchison, Top-\noka. Santa Fe. Baltimore & Ohio. In the\nfirst place, said Mr. Harrlman, we had as\nthe result of the Northern Pacific purchase $82,000,000 of Northern Securities\nstock at a cost of about J79.000.000.\nThen we were forced to take, by the\ndecision of the supreme court, unjustly,\nit may have been legally. Great Northern, which we did not want, and a lesser\namount of Northern Pacific that we had\ndeposited with tbe Northern Securities\nCo., and for which we received thai\nNorthern Securities stock. At the time,\nthat stock, of Great Northern and Northern Pacific, was forced upon us it hat!\na market value of about $100,000,000.\nI will go back just a btt. We had subscribed in the meantime to $3,000,000 o'\nGreat Northern stock, which had beer,\noffered to their stockholders malting tht\ntotal cost of the Great Northern and\nNorthern Pacific we had about $82,000.\n000. Instead of disposing of It at tha'\ntime we held It until the market price\nIncreased in value to somewhere near\none hundred and forty five million te\none hundred and fifty million dollars\nWe sold some of it gradually as il went\nup, but at that value tlie returns from\nthe Northern Pacific and Great Norther!1\nwere less than S per cent on the Btoel\nthat we held. Therefore we concluded\nthat it was better to sell these slock!\nand invest the same money in other properties that would give us greater re\nturns. Following this inquiry, Mr. Harriman was questioned respecting the\npurchase and re-organization of th*1\nChicago and Alton company in 1901\nMr. Millhurn of Mr. Harriman's cottnse.\nobjected to this line of inquiry on tin\nground that lt did not fall within the\njurisdiction of the interstate commls\nslon.\n\"Much depends upon wbo fixed thi\nmarket price of stocks in such transactions as that just named,\" said chair\nman Knapp. \"If men could fix the market price and then sell their own stocl,\nat. the price, It was a transaction properly to lie enquired into.'\n\"Mr. Harriman has said thnt he am\nhis associates fixed the price for tht\nChicago & Alton stock as a commission.\n\"Are we to understand, Mr. Mil-\nburn, thnt you hold this commission hat\nno right to ask whether Mr.Hai-rimm\nwas not himself owner and seller of n\npart of that stock?\"\nMr. Ml .burn replied that he though!\nsuch a question quite improper. Aftei\nsome further discussion the commission\nwithheld its decision on this point be\nfore proceeding with lhe inquiry respecting the sale of the Chicago & Altoi,\nstock to tho Union Pacific.\nThroughout his examination Mr. Har- I\nrinian insisted that portions of these\ntransactions were speculative.\n\"I do not wish to give tlie Impression\nthnt we have been speculating,\" he re\nmarked as Mr. Kellogg pressed him for\na reply concerning the purpose of th<\nacquisition of stock of the Illinois Central, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chicago & Alton and other roads.\n\"They are for incomo re-investment oi\nthe proceeds of the Great Northern and\nNorthern Pacific,\" said tho witness.\n\"Aro they for permanent Investment\nor do you expect lo sell them again.'\nasked Mr. Kellogg.\n\"I have no expectation about them,\"\nsaid Mr. Harrlman, \"1 never thought pi\nthat, it never crossed my mind; il is for\nthe purpose of receiving six millions and\na half.\" declared Mr. Harrlman.\nAnticipation of sensational testimony\nfrom Mr. Harrlman, and sharp encounters between Mr. Harrlman and special\ncounsel for the government failed ol\nrealization. An effort, ns Indicated, was\nmade to show by Mr. Harrlman'R testimony and the records of the company,\nthat there was an enormous inflation ol\nthe stock, securities and liabilities of the\nAlton; that the Harrlman syndicate took\nunfair profits by declaring a dividend of\n30 per cent from the proceeds of the flrst\nsale of bonds, amounting to forty million dollars; that the syndicate sold itself the bonds at an unreasonably low\nfigure, only to resell them at an enormous profit; that the Alton and Harriman syndicate capitalized the losses of\nformer stockholders in this road; that\nthe books of the company were \"doctored\"; that for au increase in the stocks\nand liabilities from, roughly, forty millions to one hundred and fifteen millions,\nthere was nothing to show, except an\nexpenditure of twenty-two millions in\nimprovements on tho property. Mr. Harriman's testimony was a denial of all\nthese charges and towards the close of\nthe afternoon he made an elaborate explanation and defense uf the entire\ntransaction, which he contended was\nfully justified by the conditions and circumstances of the time and had been\nconducted entirely in the open. Harriman's examination lasted five hours and\nwas carried on in good spirit, unmarked by acrimony.\nBLIND PIGS BUSY.\nToronto, Feb. 25.\u2014Fines to the\namount of $11,500 have been collected by the government from\n\"blind pigs\" in Cobalt.

Whilst\nthe Newi haa been a very severe critic\nof the liberal party In Ontario, lt was\nquick to expretw IU appreciation of the\nstand taken by the new leader of the\nOntario liberal party In regard to the\nquestion of civil service reform. We\nquote below at some length an article\nfrom tbe Newts on thla subject, which\nputs the caw fairly and forcibly. The\nmovement lu favor of a non-partisan\ncivil service la taking a strong hold on\nthe country and In all the province* tin\nquestion la now being discussed by progressive newspapers.\nThe Halifax. f-T.S., Herald, baa recently\npronounced strongly on the subject, To\nquote:\n\"The time has come in this country\nwhen both political parties should bend\ntheir energies to the adoption of reforms\nlooking to the making of every branch\nof the public service as non-political and\nnon-panlzan as It possibly can be mude.\nCanada should with all possible speed\nseek to secure a public service nnd a\npublic service Bymem as non-partisan as\nthat of Britain.\n\"Of course nil public officials, no matter what their political views, should ho\nnon-partlzan In office, both as to the\npublic and as to the government of the\nday, und though, while they are accord\ned the franchise, they should cast their\nvote at dominion elections lu such man\nner as they think proper, they should\nnevor commit tho Indecency of taking\nnny consplcluous part in election campaigns, for If persons In the public service will not fairly conduct ihemselves\nas non-partisans, they cannot expecl\ntheir opponents In oiflcfl to treat them\nas non-partisans.\"\nThe Toronto News' article roads:\nMr. Graham, ln his speech at Strathroy, made a straightforward declaration\nfor civil service reform. No other reform\nwould contribute more directly to tho\npurity and dignity of our polities, or tend\nmore powerfully towards tho efficiency\nof the public departments.

THOMSON feteta\"1 Stafe\nronage embarrasses honest politicians,\nand is a prolific source of meanness, evil\nspeaking and evil doing. The spoils doctrine curses politics, and breeds Injustice and corruption. It Is not necessary\nto the maintenance of the party system\nthat the offices should bo under partisan\ncontrol, and it Is unfair to honest and\nefficient civil servants? that their positions should be Imperilled with every\nchange of government.\nWe havo a good Illustration of tho\npettiness and nastlness of the partisan\nmethod in the Jail Inquiry, and In the\nsort of espionage to which Mr. Bastedo\nwas subjected. Mr. Bastedo was practically forced to contribute to a campaign fund, and, perhaps, he was too\nwilling under both governments to regard the offices as a party asset. But\nhe was on honest public servant and\nsuffered by the system which his superiors devised and sanctioned. It Is too\nsoon to pronounce Judgment lu the case\nof Mr. Vanzant, but at least he was subjected to Intolerable treatment by busy\nspies and eager partisans, who schemed\nto accomplish his dismissal. We shall\nknow In a few days whether or not the\npatronage-monger has bedevilled the administration of the licence system ln\nToronto.\nGenerally the Inside service has been\nwell treated by the Whitney government; throughout the country there have\nbeen many unjust dismissals. In Great\nBritain and In many continental countries the evil of party cotrol of patronage has been practically abolished, but\ntho party system still exists In fullness\nand vigor, and a.l classes of citizens\nmaintain au undiminished interest in\npublic affairs. In the United States great\nprogress has been made towards a permanent non-partlzan civil service, but\nthe party struggle Is as keen as ever\nand It is Impossible to contend that expectation of reward Is necessary to Interest the body of citizens ln the affairs\nof government. Indeed the mercenaries\nwho follow nt the heels of party are destroyers rather than builders. They undermine the very structure which they\naim to rear with so much noise and\nshouting. Moreover the public offices\nbelong to the whole people and it is a\nscandal lhat they should be treated as\nthe spoils of party. Admission to the\nservice should be by examination, and\npromotion should be by merit as determined by Independent civil service commissioners. The civil servant should abstain from partisan activity, and on\nproof of political Interference should be\nremoved from office. But so long as he\nis fail liful and efficient in the performance of his duties he should have the\nsame certainty of employment and the\nsame opportunity for promotion as belong to men In private pursuits. In this\nway the service will bo made honorable\nand efficient, politics elevated and ministers and members saved from Immense annoyance and persecution.\nBefore the elections of 1905 the News\nurged Mr. Whitney to declare for a permanent, non-partisan civil service. We\nmade the same appeal after the elections\nand before the Whitney government was\norganized. Over and over again during\nthe last few years we have contended\nfor this reform both at Ottawa and Toronto. We rejoice to see that tho movement is making headway and we welcome Mr. Oraham's declarations In West\nMiddlesex, and the position which Mr.\nBorden and Mr. Foster have token In\nthe houae of commons. The question Ib\none of the very first importance, and it-\nIs well worth the serious consideration\nof Mr. Whitney and his colleagues. It Ib\nclear that already under Mr. Graham's\nleadership the liberal party Ih regaining\nIts tone and vigor, and that the new\nleader will acquire an exceptional personal popularity Is unquestioned. The\nold quarrels have been set aside and the\nlegislature Is settling down to serious,\nprogressive, practical business. The\npeople soon grow weary of dead issues,\nand every day the element which cares\nUtile for the fortunes of parties and\nmuch for sound measures and faithful\npublic service becomes more numerous\nand more powerful. Civil service reform is a sound, practical and urgent\nissue which neither party can afford to\nneglect.\nLBMIHUX'S LABOR BILL\nAdvance proof of the efficacy of minister of labor Lemieux'a bill now before\nparliament providing for investigation\nInto labor disputes, is to be found ln the\nTwo Storey House\nSTONE FOUNDATION\nEVERY MODERN CONVENIENCE\nGOOD LAWN.

P. despatches contained a brief statement that Steve\nAdam's alleged confession, implicating\nthe Western Federation officials in the\nSteunenberg assassination, had been\nread at his trial at Wallace, Idaho, but\nthe text of the confession was entirely\nomitted.\nThe full text of this alleged confession,\nwhich Steve Adams now denies ever\nhaving made, reads as follows:\n\"Statement of Stephen Adams, made\non Tuesday, February 27, 1908, In the\nofflce of the warden of the Idaho state\npenitentiary at Boise, Idaho, ln the presence of JameB McPharland ana W. B.\nHopkins, the questions being asked by\nJames McPharland, and the answers being made by Stephen Adams.\"\nThe confession is aB follows:\n\"What Is your name?\" \"Stephen W.\nAdams.\"\n\"Where wero your born?\" \"I was born\nin Jackson county, Missouri, In 18(17.\"\n\"What was your nearest town?\"\n\"Pleasant Hill.\"\n\"Do somo of your people reside there\nyet?\" \"Well, I think I have an aunt\nand some cousins there yot. To the beat\nof my knowledge they are there still.\"\n\"How many of a family were there of\nyou?\"    \"Three  boys and  father and\nmother.\"\n|    \"What were the boys' names?

While I worked In\nColorado I became acquainted with\nCl.ar.eB Moyer, William D. Haywood and\nGeorge A. Pettlbone, shortly after the\nassassination of Arthur Collins at Telluride, and have been Intimately associated with them sines tht time I left\nDenver.\n\"I have had conversations with them\nregarding the assassination of ex-governor Steunenberg and they told me to\nbo R-Hfj dtp tm ai-fifife pi.*\"\" <\u2022flfUJiJ\nflag fH WavtTuej-; Ti*l*j -fiJ^i'iieaUcm took.\npiaot* Shortly 'fttlW l*\u2122 mamltlni Qf\nthe qeoftt at i\u00bbfapi?nufi!P w .W- -n W\nback room ot toi'se Pennine's st-qro,\nHaywood was present and they told ma\nto go and see gljnpklns, as he would\nprobably tell me\" about ths Steunenberg matter, as tbey wanted to 'get'\nSteunenberg. Moyer was not present, I\nthink he was In jail at Telluride.\nThey gave me $200 to go up to Idaho,\nat least Pettlbone gave lt to me. I remember Mm aBklng me to wait till he could go\nover to Haywood's and got It. They dl11\nnot give me any directions as to the manner In which I was to remove tSeunen-\nberg, but It waa understood that I was to\nuse my own Judgment. I left Denver,\nwent to Wallace and then to Burko, where\nI saw Bt. John and a fellow named Urir-\nfln, but did not talk w'.th them about the\nSteunenberg matter. I returned lo Wallace July 4, went down to Wardner and\nmet Slmpklna. Slmpklns was In bod and\nI talked wl'.h him through tho window. We\narranged to meet In the morning and at\nbreakfast we would talk of tho Steunenberg matter. Slmpk ns said he would write\nand get somo money and we wou d go\ndown together on tlie Steunenberg ease.\nHe wrote for the money, but 1 don't know\nwhether ho got it or not. pettlbons told\n\u25a0mo afterwards tih.it he had sent $:10Q to Ed.\nBoyce, but I left before the money camo.\n\"Next day Slmpklns nnd I went up to his\nclaim In the Marble creek district and mot\nsome settlers cnlled Mason ml Newt Glover\nwho had a cocked eye. There waa also a\nman running a store who was called Price,\nwho seemed to be a friend of Slmpklns.\nThem wore some Jumpers there and It\nseemed as If they were trying to take\nclaims from Bottlers and Slmpklns Bald\nIf I would get rid of the Jumpers he would\nglvq me $300. I agreed and in carrying out\nthe agreement two of the men were k lied.\nMason and Glover were with me when the\nfirst man wan killed, but Mason did not\ndo any killing. Thla man was Tyler and\nlie was kired by a shot from a S6-35 Win-\ncheater. Slmpklns was In Wardner at the\ntime but Mason, Glover and myself went\nto Slmpklns* cabin and had breakfast anu\nthen went out to try and find Tyler at\nthe cabin on Slmpklns1 claim. He was\ngone so we lay until tho Bun went down,\nbut he did not return. Wc went up to tlio\nspring and us we were drinking we heard\nhtm coming and I and, '1 am glad of It.'\nI got my Winchester and stood by the\nside of the trail and told him to throw up\nhla hands. Ife had a big gun buckled on\nand we disarmed him and took hm lo\nSlmpklns' cabin, kept him there all n gin,\ntook him three miles out in the timber\nrwxt dny and I killed him. We placed the\nbody between some logs. Tyler told us\nthat he hud been placed on ihis claim by ft\nlumberman of Spoknne named Lewis, but\nI am not sure about that.\n\"I wont down to Harrison and told slmpklns that there was no more jumper on his\nclaim and he said. 'Well after a while we\nwill go back anil get tho rest of them\nfellerH off them other oHims.'\n\"About a week after that we went bach\nand met a fellow named Boulo nnd another man near Slmpklns 'cabin. Slmpklns\nand me and Glover and another man opened fire on Boule and the other fellow ond\nkilled Boule. The second man dodged\nabout and we missed him. 1 went down\nto Glover's ranch and wnlte'd until the\nsheriff from Wallace had made an Investigation and then we went buck and\nbought up all tho Jumpers' cabins except\none. There wero two or three of them\n\u2022Anyway. Tho sheriff found Bone's body\nand that right in front ot Slmpk ns' cabin\nbut he did not blame Slmpklns, as far ns\nI know. Slmpklns did not give me the\n$300. He said that all the settle*\u2122 had\nagreed to help pay It but they did not come\nin with the money. 1 got $100 from Mason\nand $20 from Slmpklns.\n\"1 think there was a rich man trying to\nrob those people up there of their cl-'lms.\nThis was the mnn Lowls and Tyler told\nme he was to furnish the money to hold\nthem up there on the claims until they\nshould take them away from the set lorn,\nand then he was to give them half and\nhe was to get the other half. The cla'ma\nhnd good timber on them. I went back to\nDenver and did not go to do lhe Stunen-\nberg job, because thoy had not sent the\nmoney and I was not going down thi rr\nbroke. Slmpklns told me lie would oome\ndown with me as soon as he got the mi n y\nbut he never got It, for they sent It to\nEd. Boyce Ins.efld of io Oorden and It was\nnot received up to the lime I left. I know\nthat Slmpklns wrote, for I saw hm address the letter to Pettlbone.\n\"I waited fer three or four weeks nnd\nOhen went to Denver. On arriving at Denver I went direct io Pettlbone's store to\nfind out where my wife wis. Pettlbone\nwanted to know If we had' got Uie money\nfor the Stuenenberg -affair and 1 to'd him\nthat we had not, and ho sa'd he would\nwrite and  have lt returned.\n\"I saw Haywood -too, but neither ol\nhem said anything about going back to\n\u2022 M'ry out the Steunenberg business und\nthey did not tell mo that somebody else\nhad been sent to do It. I nuked -'bout\nHarry Orchard and PatUbono snld he wan\nin California. I paw Bmpklna down In\nDenver bupt I never was able to find out\nwhy the S'.eunenbrrg nssasslnatlon hail\nbeen postponed. I heard lhem sptvk ol\ngett'ng Steunenberg on account of the\nstand ho had taken with regard Lo the\nCoeur d'Alene strike.\n\"They did not tell me how much there\nwas In It for me but we nlways had an\nunderstanding beforehand that I wns to\nget $1000 a Job. Slmpkns did not care how\ntha Job was done and never named any\nweapon. He said as soon as we got rid\nof tho jumpers we* wou'd go down and get\nSteunenberg out of the way. I once talked\nabout this to Harry Orchard and lie asked\nmo why I did not do the work. After my\nreturn to Denver I again talked the mat-\nover with Pettlbone and saw Haywood, too. I don't think this matter was\nover discussed In tho presence of Moyer.\"\nAppended to the confession la a statement to the effect that \"the coufesson Ih\nmade of my own free will and Without\npromise, reward or threats, and made because 1 fell It a duty that I owed my family, my friends and my fellow workmen\nnnd lhe state nnd Ond. I want to live a\nnew life and thought thin tho best way to\nlonimmco.\"\nHe also states that ho has seen that iho\nxeoiiilve bonrd of the Western Federation\nhas used him as a tool and hopes that the\nrelgh of terror Inaugurated by Moyer,\nHaywood and Pettlbono will oeuae. The\nstatement Is nccompanled by an affidavit\nsigned by Stevon Adams to the effect that\nWith Kidney Trouble\nCUBED AT LAST BY GIN PILLS,\nWhether you are just beginning to feel\nthe first twinges of kidney pains-rof\nwhether you have tried for years tp fin*)\nrelief\u2014Gin FillB will cure you.

He had not\nproposed marriage and his attentions\nwere no more marked than those of\nother men. She denied that on her return from Europe in 1903 she had telephoned to White from G. W. Lederer's\noffice. She flrst saw Lederer In 1902\nwhen she went to him with a letter\nfrom Mr. Marks, looking for a position.\nShe had gone to suppers with Lederer\nalone at Rector's, down stairs. She had\nnever gone upstairs unless with a party.\nPart of the time her mother was with\nher.

Chief Wllkle of the United\nStates secret sen-Ire, has been keeping\ninformed by telephone and telegraph ot\neevry deevlopmoni in the case and will\nleave Washington today to tnke personal\ncharge of the Investigation made by tho\nauthorities. Secretary Shaw Of the treasury department was told of tbe then,\nwhen he reached here last week and conferred with aub-trttasurer Wnu 'JBolden\nWeick and the secret -service < tf leers.\nTho money was stolen either a week ago\nSaturday, the next dny or Inst Monday.\nTho chances are it wns extracted on Monday.- Tho loss was discovered on Tuesday.\nAll tho money taken wns In the denomination  of  M000,  $5000 nnd 80,000,\n\u25a0When mtervllewed t-oday \\__\\r. lUtolden\nWeick admitted that a theft of $173,006 had\nbeen perpetrated but refused to go into\ndetails.\n\"No.\"\n'These suppers were after the theatre?\"\n\"On Feb. 22nd, 1*02, were you on good\nterms with Frances Belmont?\"\n\"I thjnk so.\"\n\"After you left Florodora what was\nyour next employment?\"\n\"Wiih the Wild Rose in Philadelphia.\"\n\"Who was there with you?\"\n\"My mother.\"\n\"Do you know Angella Vincent?\"\n\"Yes.\"\nA letter and envelope waa shown\nMrs. Thaw, who identified the writing\nas that of White. The envelope was\npostmarked Boston, Jan. 20th, 1902, and\nwas addressed to Charles Hartnett,\nWhite's private secretary.   It read:\n\"Dear Hartnett\u2014Please telephone Mrs.\nNesbit to let you know whenever Miss\nEvelyn decides to go on her vacation.\nThen hand this not to the Mercantile\nTrust company. Please notify Miss Nesbit that on receiving word that she is to\nstart on her vacation you will send her\nthe weekly checks for $25 and an additional check for $200.\"\nBy this letter and the Introduction of\ncheeks signed both by Evelyn Nesbit\nand hor mother, Mr. Jerome refreshed\nMrs. Thaw's memory \u00bbo that she aald she\nhad lived at the Auditorium apartments\nfrom Feb. 1 to April 1, 1902. The checks\nwere given ln payment of hotel bills and\nwere drawn against a deposit made in\nthe New Amsterdam bank by Stanford\nWhite to the joint credit of Mrs. Nesbit\nand her daughter. By producing exhibit\n23, a check, Mr. Jerome brought out the\nfact that between April 1,1902, and April\n17,1902, Mrs. Thaw and her mother went\nto live at the Hotel Arlington.\nMrs. Thaw was confronted by Dr, Cat-\ni 1 Ion Flint, but denied positively that\nshe had ever seen htm before, or that\nshe had gone to him with Jack Barrymore. Justice Fitzgerald ruled out the\nquestion when Mr. Jerome asked Mrs,\nThaw If White had not urged her to\nhave Barrymore arrested for seduction.\nMrs. Thaw said today she had often\nbeen to supper with George W. Lederer and Jack Barrymore, In telling of\nher trip to Europe, Mrs. Thaw said she\nused only some of White's letters of\ncredit, and It was for her mother she\ngot all of it. She said the money was\n\"poison.\"\nThe witness met Thaw first at a dinner that he gave at Rector's either In\nDecember, 1901, or January, 1902, after\na matinee. Replying to questions sue\nBald tbat Thaw was rational then. Ht\ngave her no presents at flrst, other than\nviolets. They were beautiful. Once he\nhad sent money with the flowers.

The\ncouncil approved ot a very carefully\ndrawn resolution regarding the city's position with the contractors of the now\npower plant, covering the position fully.\nIt was decided lo extend the Stanley\n. street sewer out towards deep water by\n1000 feet of stave piping. Regarding the\nrequest of the school board for the submission of a (50,000 new school building\nby-law, the council decided to have a\n.bill prepared extending the city's borrowing powers, but tho mayor will pre-\ni sent the city's position to the union of\nmunicipalities and ascertain if some re-\n. lief cannot be secured from the present\nprovincial taxing arrangements.\nThe minutes of the last regular meeting of tho special meting held a week\n.ngo, wero road and approved.\nThe report of the finance committee\nTocommonded tho payment of sundry\naccounts; that the estimates for tho year\npresented by the school trustees be accepted; that the estimates ot expenditure of the chief of tho Ure department\n.be accepted.   The report continued:\nYour committee would recommend\nthat a notice bo inserted In the dally\nprose to the effect that all arrears of licences remaining unpaid after the 5th day\nof March ho collected by process of law;\nthat all water consumers In arrears be\nnoil lied that unless their arrears are\npaid by the 31st. ot March their water\nservice will he discontinued without further notice.   Your committee would re\ncommend that owners of property on\nwhich there are old water rate arrears\nbe notified that it such are not paid on\nor before 31st March the city council\nshall proceed to collect the same, by law.\nOn motion of Aid. Irving, seconded by\nAid. McMorris the report was received\nand adopted.\nThe chief items In tho expenditure\nordered to he paid ln tbe finance committee's report are;\nW. K. L. A P. Co., 11499.28; Yale\nKootenay Ice Co., 1102.60; Kootenay\nEngineering Co., 188.02; Allls-Chaimers-\nBullock Co., |150; John Forman, $123;\nJ. H. Ashdown Co., $316.59. The sundry accounts totalled $3,289.25. In addition the payrolls passed amounted to\n$63.35, and $113.90 making a grand total\nof $3406.50.\nAid. Selous reported that the special\ncommittee appointed by the council at\nthe last meeting to confer with the representatives of the Allls-Chalmers-Bullock, Ltd., regarding the taking over of\nthe power plant, had prepared a special\nresolution, approved by the city solicitor, covering the situation. He moved,\nseconded by Aid, MoMorris:\n\"That no payment be made to Allls-\nChalmers-Bullock Company, Limited,\nwith respect to contract, until a proper\ngovernor be supplied and operated In\nconjunction with the rest of the plant,\nto the satisfaction of the city electrical\nengineer, for seven days, and tbat In\nthe meantime the company continue in\ncharge of and operate the plant continuously, and be responsible ln every\nrespect for any accident, loss or damage\nIn connection therewith, unleas the company can show that It did not result from\nor Is In any way attributable to the absence, non-working, deficiency or Insufficiency of governor In connection with\nthe power plant, and such responsibility\nIs to remain until the plant Is accepted\nand taken over by the city.\n\"That the city, In order to assist in\nPROF.

These build up muscles and\nfeed nerves, and make people strong\nand cheerful.\nThose who eat the most Orange\nMeat have a pecuniary encouragement\nas well as a health gain. \"Orange\nMeat\" will give Thirty Dollars to the\none sending in the largest number of\ncoupons taken from the 15c packages\non or before March 30th, 1907.\nNOTICE\nThe city hotels, restaurants nnd boarding\nhouse keepers hereby give notice thnt on\nand after Friday next, March 1st, single\nmeals will cost not less than 35 cents, and\nmeal tickets, 21 meals, SO.\nNelson, Feb. 25. 1907. 203-7\nthe expense or such continuous operation\nof plant aud Its utilization of power, In\nthe meantime agrees to pay the wages\nof four men covering two 12 hour shifts\nat power plant not exceeding a coat of\n|400 per month; also cost, of oil, waste,\npacking, wood and such other incidental\nexpenses as the city would have incurred\nif in charge of the plant.\n\"That as to the wheel and generator\nsupplied by the company, the city electrical engineer may, If they have run\nsatisfactorily for 30 days, so decide In\nso far as it Is possible for him to ascertain and decide without n proper governor being installed and operated; but\nneither such decision nor this resolution\nare in any way otherwise to prejudice\nor alTect the rights and liabilities of the\nparties.\"\nThe resolution was concurred in by\nthe council unanimously.\nThe city engineer presented a lengthy\nreport on the extension of the Stanley\nstreet sewer out Into the arm of Kootenay lake at low water. Mr. McCuIloch.\nwhile giving the cost of steel piping, etc..\nsuggested the building of 1000 feet of\n18 inch wood stave pipe to cost $1275,\nand for the remaining 325 feet necessary\nto reach deep water a steel pipe be laid.\nThe whole cost will be $2100. The coun-\ncill agreed to go on with the construction of the 1000 feet stave pipe line at\nonce.\nA petition from the members of the\nAre department asking for the establishment of a benefit fund, was referred\nto the fire, water and light committee.\nA letter whs read from Dr. B. C. Arthur,\nsecretary of the school board, asking that\nthe council submit a bylaw to the ratepayers authorizing the raising of $60,000 for\na new public school.\nAid. Selous\u2014We must obtain the necessary legislation first, otherwise we would\nexceed our financial limit as now fixed\nby law..\nDr. Arthur was present and the mayor\nasked him If the now building could not\nbe constructed piecemeal, using a portion\nof tho present building and adding to It\nfrom time to time.\nDr. Arthur said It would be a very un-\nsattefnetflry method of j>roc^edliT|j and\nwould please no one.\nA 12-roomed new bulld'ng Is wanted. The\nolty is now within (24,000 of Its borrowing\n\u2022powers.\nA discussion followed on n proposition\nto extend tho present city boundaries to\ntake In tho existing suburbs. This wou.d\nextend tho borrowing powers of the city\nby $50,000.\nDr. Arthur said the trustees reallzetl\nthnt the council would have to get special\nlegislation. If progress were to be made\nthis year the contractor must have tho\nplans on hand by the end of June, that is,\njust before tho summer holidays begin.\nAid. McMorris moved, seconded by Aid.\nIrving, that tho matter of Increasing the\ncity's borrowing power for school purposes, bo submitted to the city solicitor,\nwho shall be instructed to prepare tne\nnecessary bill to be submitted to tho legislature.\nAid. Selous said there was a wider view\nof the whole question. The provincial government had In the past shuffled out of\ntheir responsibilities regarding educational\nmatters and had imposed them on municipalities. Here was on Instance .of n city\nlike Nelson, wanting, and wanting badly,\na school building, and unable to raise the\nnecessary funds without exceeding its borrowing powers and obliged to ask for special legislation for the purpose. If the\ncouncil decided to let this chance of protesting agulnst the existing state of affairs, pass, all right, but personally lie\napproved of asking the government to\nmake some equitable tnx arrangement In\nplace of tho one now in force. Now the\ngovernment collected all kinds nf tuxes\nfrom the city and should provide educational facilities.\nAid. Irving and Aid. Annablo dltroreil\nfrom Aid.  Selous'   eon elusions.\nAid. Selous\u2014I don't want to be quoted as\nsuylng I am agulnst a new school building\nnnd getting the necessary legislation. We\nmust have u new building, but I think the\ngovernment should help us out. The government used to collect all the taxes und\nmiiintttin all the Bohoo.s, now they still\ncollect the taxes but we muintnln the\nschools, with a grant of a third of the cost\nfrom tho government. I think our position Is unjust and fulsc. We arc twice\ntaxed und I think It would be wrong to\naccept the situation at least without u very\nslrong protest and a decided effort to get\nun equitable arrangement for the division\nof taxation On the mayor asking for a\nvote on Aid. McMorris' resolution, A d.\nIrving said tbe only question that could\nbe put to the government wag were they\nwilling to remit some or all of the tuxes\nthey now collect from this municipality.\nAid. McMorris' motion then carried with\nthe understanding that the mayor endeavor to obtain a change In the present\ntaxation arrangements with the provincial\ngovernment when his worship attends tho\nmeeting of tho municipal union next\nmonth.\nChief of Police Jorvls notiried the\ncouncil that the flooring of tho city wharr\nwas badly in need of repairs and It was\nagreed that this should bo done at once.\nTwo letters were read from L. A. Campbell, nuinaffor of tho W.  K.  P. and L.\ncompany.  Ono was filed without comment;\nthe second asked for leave te use part\nof the city's pole line to the east to sup*\nply power to the Canada Zinc company's\nnew plant. The permission nsked for was\ngiven with certain reservations, covering\nthe city's position; the matter to bo left\nin the hands of the city solicitor and electrical engineer.\nTho terms of the agreement between the\nolty and Uie W, K. P, und L, company,\nfor the Joint occupation of the city's clec-\ntrloti substation on Hall Mines road, for\nono year, dating from Jun, 1, 1907, were\nread and agreed to by the council\nF. A.

The motion curried\nand was referred to the city engineer.\nThe Canadian Municipal union's request\nthat NelBon Join the union ,at ft cost of\n$3 per year per 1000 inhabitants, was agreed\nto.\nCivic salaries, due March 1, were ordered\nto be paid.\nThe council then adjourned at 10:30 until\nMonday evening, March 11.\nCAUSED BY A SPARK\nHalifax.
