verdict despite my acquaintance with the principals in the case. I believe I could have done so, but I am mightily glad they have Been fit to excuse me." "It has been said, Mr. Walker, that your discharge was due to certain eccentric escapades of yours. Now, as a matter of fact, are you eccentric?" he was asked. This made Mr. Walker laugh, as he replied: "Well, I may be, but Jf I am, I don't know anything about it." Haas didn't feel to blithe about it He stalked out of tho court room frowning. Two bold interviewers stopped him aud asked: "Mr. Haas, it is reported about tho building that you are very intimate with Dan O'Reilly, of counsel for tho defense, and that you have a fondness for lingering near the Occidental hotel, where Tim Sullivan and his friends gather. How about it?" Haas frowned again, snd then snapped out: "Well, if you know that, go ahead and print it." Then he hurried away. Defense Lawyers Protest. Tho jurors were not dropped without a strong protest by the lawyers for the defense. There was a conference on the matter between Justice Fitzgerald, the district attorney, and Thaw's legal representatives. The latter went into the conference determined to oppose to the last ditch the dismissal of any more jurors. "We shall not consent to let any more of them go," said O'Reilly, a mo ment before the conference opened. "We are sorry we did so before. We regret exceedingly that we permitted Mr. Fair to be excused. We shall not do so again." Jerome Came Out Smiling. Mr. Jerome did not say anything. He went into the conference with Justice Fitzgerald smiling, and. he smiled when he came out. Thaw's lawyers did not smile and were plainly angry over the action of the court. The one hundred newly summoned talesmen began piling into the court half an hour before time for beginning the day's session. Presently came Thaw's people, first George I. Carnepie, the little brother-in-law, then a group, Mrs. Thaw, Mrs. Carnegie, the, Countess of Yarmouth and the two! half brothers. Josiah and Edward Thaw. Their faces were all impassive, telling nothing of their thoughts regarding the ordeal that is now at hand. For twenty minutes before their arrival, young Howard Nesbit had been in his old place at tho back of the court, sitting next to Charles Harnett, Stanford White's secretary. It was nearly eleven o'clock when Kvelyn Thaw and her purple shadow, May McKenzie, came in. It was tho first time they had been late. Peremptory Challenges Increased. The young wife carried a small black handbag. A moment later Harry Thaw was led in and soon afterward the proceedings of the day were begun. Tho first two members of tho new panel drawn were acceptable to the defense and the court, so "District Attorney Jerome had to challenge nrtmtnrilv. The peremptory chal lenge proposition was now becoming J a serious matter as both sicies wens very close to their limit of thirty as allowed under the codo, so a consultation between Mr. Jerome, his assistants and counsel for the defense was held. Then a request was made to Justice Fitzgerald, in which both sides joined, that the number be increased by ten to each side, and this request was at once acceded to by the sternfaced justice. Mother a Chief Witness. Gossip continues rife as to Thaw's defense, and it was stated in court today, that his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, will be the chief witness. The district attorney has learned this and also that her evidence will strongly sustain the -contention that his nature, shown from earliest boyhood, made vouug Thaw irresponsible at the time of the killing of White. She will tell of his strange actions us a child; of his perverse tendencies; of his father's belief that the boy was weak minded as well as wilful, a belief that let him to cut off his son in his will and tie his share of tho Thaw millions in a trust. It is said that in doing this the aged woman will have to lay baro scandals of her son's boyhood days in Pltsburg, which Iho families money and influ. t-nre were able to hide at tho time. Thaw's attorneys were reunited today when Dolphin M. Delmas, whose t-loquence is expected to have a good effect in freeing Thaw, put in an appearance for the first time in several days. He has been seriously ill with a cold, but declared tonight that he felt first rate now. State Gets Good Witness. District Attorney Jerome today secured an important witness, named Warren, from Glens Falls, N. Y. He Is said to be an eye witness of the Fhooting and killing of Stanford White. Detectives learned of his whereabouts only within the last few days and this morning he was brought to the criminal courts building.

INEBRIATE STRUCK BY A STREET CAR

J. Ford(?) Thought to Have Been Killed, Was Only Slightly Injured. A HARD BLOW FOR PROHIS AGED FARMER DROVE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF CITY CAR NEAR THE COUNTRY CLUB LAST EVENING RIG DEMOLISHED. An old saying held true, last night when J. Ford, well inebriated was dealt an almost death blow by a city street car and yet escaped almost without injury. A sober man, witnesses say would have been killed. The accident occurred just this side of the Country club shortly before seven o'clock. Ford, who. is a farmer living near Chester was driving west along the National road as the city street car in charge of Motorman Will Kenney came down the hill. Much to Kenney's surprise, Ford pulled his horse directly in front of the car and no effort on the motorman's . part could prevent a collision. . . The rig, which was a buggy without a top was smashed beyond repair while the horse was freed by the Impact and started on a run up the road, apparently unharmed. Ford, however thrown from the rig, was lying alongside the track when those on the car reached him, his face covered with blood. He was picked up carefully and carried into the car. A blanket which was In his rig was" put on the floor of the car and he was laid thereon and brought to Fifth and Main streets, where the ambulance met the car and took the injured man to the hospital. Dr. Bramkamp was called and on examination he found that Ford's apparent hurts consisted of a slight cut on the lip and a few bruises. If he is hurt internally he manifested no pains of it last night. He went quickly to sleep after given medical attention. Ford is a man of considerable age, probably sixty years or more. It was very hard to get Information about him last night. On the ambulance call book he was slated as Tyne Ford but at the interurban car barns the man's name was given as Jake Ford. Dr. Bramkamp did not secure the man's name, the hospital authorities did not know it, and as he was asleep up to the time of going to press, the Palladium cannot state with any degree of accuracy his cognomen. Suffice to say he was hit by a street car and scaped almost unhurt when many another man would have been killed. It must be admitted that the incident is a hard blow for the temperance forces of the city. r ich Power. The most promgiou power of muscle is exhibited by fish.

RICH'S BOIIDSMEII

STAND WITH HIM Former Spartansburg Postmaster Given Endorsement in a Splendid Letter. REPLY TO "SORE ONES" ANOTHER ECHO OF THE REMOV AL OF A POSTOFFICE BECAUSE THE POSTMASTER WAS ANXIOUS TO LIVE IN RICHMOND. Still another echo from the famous Spartansburg postoffice case. The Palladium is the recipient of a letter from Henry Wise and Norman Anderson of that place absolutely denying the charge as presented in the article some weeks ago, signed "The Citizens of Spartansburg" in which it stated that they, as bond holders were anxious to be relieved from Mr. Ernest J. Rich's bond while he was serving as postmaster at that place. The denial was made according to their statement, because it would probably injure Mr. Rich's business in this city and they state that he is a good business man, has much ability and is thoroughly honest. The letter in full follows: Spartansburg, Ind., Jan. 25, 1907. To the Editor of the Richmond Palladium: Dear Sir: In your issue of Sunday, Jan. 13, 1907, appeared an article signed "Citizens of Spartansburg", in which E. J. Rich was scored for bissupposed articles In your paper in regard to the Spartansburg postofflce. Now as there was some things in Sunday's issue of Jan. 13, which mi?ht Injure Mr. Rich in the community wherein he is now living, we the bondsmen of E. J. Rich wish to attest to the good business ability and honesty of E. J, Rich and that we were not axious to be relieved from his bond as intimated in the issue afore named. (Signed.). Henry Wise. Norman Anderson. Recently Mr. Rich resigned his position as postmaster at Spartansburg that he might enter into business in this city and as his resignation was not accpeted, and the postofflce at that place discontinued, many citizens became angry and placed dii-ect blame upon Mr. Rich, all because he had resigned, to enter a more lucrative business In this city. Many citizens claim that tho criticism of Mr. Rich by some unknown person in that hamlet was entirely unjust and done through personal malice. The people of Spartansburg are now receiving their mall from Crete, Ind., by rural route. Henry Koehring Injured. Henry Koehring, watchman at Knollenberg's store, fell from a wa?on on South Ninth street yesterday and sus tained injuries to his left leg and shoulder. He was attended by Dr. Kinsey, and afterwards removed to his home, 305 South Seventh street, in the city ambulance. Rankin Likes Wabash. Howard Rankin who has been attending Wabash college since the first of the year is home for a few days. He says that he is enjoying college life very much but that he has had to. study very hard- ever since he entered. He speaks highly of the school and seems well satisfied with his work! Heroci's Lov of Hl Wife. Herod the Great loved Mariamne, his wife, so devotedly that when he was summoned to Rome by Augustus to answer certain charges made against him and was. afraid he might never return he left her in care of three trusted servants, with orders that if he himself were put to death by Augustus she was to be Immediately killed. The Cotton Gin. The first cotton gin in this country was put In operation by Eli Whitney, the inventor, in 1703. Anthracita Coal. The first anthracite coal known to be such was discovered at Maueh Chunk. Pa in 1791. The Lehigh Coal Mining company began business in the same year, making a commodity of the recent discovery. Lacquer For Brass. Here is a very good recipe for lacquer for brass: Put into a quart jar an ounce of pale shellac, a quarter of an ounce of cape aloes, an eighth of an ounce of powdered gamboge and a pint of alcohol. When this is dissolved strain through cheesecloth. The bras must be perfectly clean and. if poss ble, slightly warm. Apply with a sof varnish brush. Colsrids.

Alexander the Great about B. C 400 made an attempt to introduce many Asiatic plants into Europe. Rice was among the number, but the Greeks did not take kindly to its cultivation, preferring to Import it from India and Egypt.

CRITICISE ACTIONS

OF THE PRESIDENT Senators Heyburn and Rayner Express Their Feelings on the Matter. HE IS CALLED A USURPER MARYLAND SENATOR DECLARED THAT FOR ONCE ALL THREE DEPARTMENTS OF GOVERNMENT WERE UNDER ONE HEAD. rPubllsners Pressl Washington, Jan. 31. The senate today heard two speeches in criticism of the executive. One was delivered by Mr. Rayner of Maryland. It held the acts of the president up to the question and charged that" he has been guilty of usurpation. The other was by Mr. Hepburn of Idaho. His criticism of the president was by indirection. Mr. Rayner did not question the honest motives of the president but declared that his actions set an ex ample "that 13 destructive of our best traditions, that challenges the law and ignores the limit of the constitution." He cited many cases in his charges that the president interfered with congress whenever Its proceedings did not meet his ideas of what was proper. "In pursuance of this purpose," he declared, "we have now for the first time in our history a government practically conducted In nearly all of it3 departments, with the exception of the judiciary (and even there the encorachment is visible) by the executive." He characterized as unprecedented and deplorable the action of the president in expressing to Governor Guild of Massachusetts approval of the governors decision not to interfere with the execution of a murderer. He denounced the presidents action on the appeal of Admiral Schley from the judgment of the court of inquiry and compared the case to that of Dreyfus. "Admiral Schley shall yet be heard," he exclaimed. "No such melancholy page as this shall blur the annals of our history." Mr. Hepburn confined himself to two subjects, the land policy of the interior department and the forest reserve policy of the forestry bureau. He charged that the latter policy had increased the price of wood 75 per cent and that of lumber from $2 to $5 per thousand feet. He declared that government subordinates had seized his state and had used it as a plaything. He said that 18,000,000 acres of land had been withdrawn from the state, and that Idaho had thus been deprived of 40 schools, 40 churches and 40 postoffices. "We have been made the plaything of caprice and for what! Greed of power." The Idaho senator had not concluded when the senate adjourned. The remarks of Mr. Rayner were not nermitted to pass unchallenged. Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts, brioily, but earnestly defended the presiiiunt J fttitude in a number of cases. Refer ring to Mr. Rayner's assumption that he would write a biography of the president, the Massachusetts senator remarked: "I haven't any idea but that the sen ator and his colla agues would be very glad to meet the president's biographer." Mr. Rayner replied thst he would much rather believe the presidents autobiography. Mr. Carmack took exception to Mr. Lodge's criticism of Bryan's government ownership proposition. He said the only difference between Bryan and the president, was that the former held that governmental ownership ought to come if regulation of rail- J roads failed, while the presment neia that it will have to come in case or the failure of efforts to regulate. CURRENCY BILL IS HOT SATISFACTORY So Sec'y. Shaw Expresses Himself to the Missouri Society in New York. SETS FORTH HIS VIEWS HEAD OF THE TREASURY FAVORS BANKS ISSUING EXCESS NOTES GUARANTEED BY THE GOVERNMENT. rPubllshers Press'i New York. Jan. 31. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw addressed the Mis souri Society here tonight on .the sub ject of the pending financial legislation. He declared that the proposed elas tic currency bill now' before congress was "wholly inadequate." He said that any legislation . should be solely for the purpose of relieving the country from frequently recurring stringency. ' "No plan should bo devised primarily to enable the banks to make greater profit," ho declared. "The banks of the country are doing fairly well now and business is pros- ' perous," he continued. "Nevertheless jwe are confronted several times a year jwith conditions admittedly dangerlous. I doubt not the proposed legis- ! lation would prove profitable to ra tional banke, especially elsewhere than In reserve and central reserve cities, but I do not believe it would result In any perceptable elasticity. "I am strongly in favor of the authorization of the issuance of a vol-

I am not however, in favor of a separate and distinct kind of currency. In my judgment this additional circulation should be guaranteed by the government and the fact recorded on the present bank note to the effect that the same is secured by a deposit of government bonds, should be eliminated and in lieu thereof the note should contain the following: "This note is guaranteed by the United States." "The present bank note i3 guaranteed by the United States, for it is secured by a deposit of bonds, and in addition Its redemption at the treasury of the United States is promise! without even waiting to sell the bonds deposited as collateral. The smallest thinkable tax on this additional circulation would afford abundant protection to the government The tax should be treated as a premium and the government should be the underwriter. In this way no new form of currency would be injected into our present system, which is quite diversified in us. It would also subject our entire issue of bank note circulation to the -element of elasticity." Osceola Roll Call.
