THE MORXINQ OREGOXIAN. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1907 NEARLY WORN OUT BY GREAT ORDEAL Mrs. Thaw on Verge of Break down After Cross- ' Examination. PAYS VISIT TO HUSBAND Will Have Recovered Strength by Monday for Another Battle With Jerome White's I,etters to Be Read by lefcnse. .VEW YORK. Feb. 22. The principals In the Thaw trial spent the day In rest, every one apparently relishing the res pite from the scenes which marked this week's proceedings. P.y the time the hrarinsr Is resumed next Monday morn ing, it is expected that Mrs. Evelyn Nes bit Thaw will have entirely recovered her composure and be prepared again to take her place In the witness chair. On Thursday' It was said the younR woman was on the verse of illness and that a cup of broth had been her only sustenance for two days. She wa-s so weakened as the result of her day's expe rience that she retired immediately upon reaching her apartments and did not arise until late today. The only reason that she left her bed even then was the call she had promised to make on her husband in the Tombs prison. Ordinarily visitors are not allowed in the big gray building - on holidays, but an exception was made today with regard to Harry Thaw's wife and counsel. Rush Into One Another's Arms. It was well after noon when Mrs. Thaw arrived at the prison. She was accompa nied by Daniel O'Reilly, one of her hus band's counsel, and was shown at once into the consultation-room. There had been reports In some of the early editions of the papers today to the effect that Thaw was himself in bad physical .condi tion, hut when he appeared to greet his wife, he declared that he was feeling exceptionally well and was enjoying his usual vigorous health. As Thaw rushed Into the conference-room, he clasped his wife in his arms, saying: '.My dear, brave little wife." The two talked together for a long while and then Mr. O'Reilly was called into conference. Mrs. Thaw was pale and worn today, but when approached by newspaper men smiled and tried to appear cheerful. In reply to questions she said she was "feel ing pretty well." District Attorney Jerome has gone to Lakeville. Conn., to spend the holiday recess with his family. Nearly all of Thaw's counsel remained at their homes. SeWral Days' Aroiij- Aliead. The District ' Attorney will keep Mrs. Thaw on the stand at least a day and a half more and may even stretch his searching cross-examination through twice that length of time. It will depend upon how Mrs. Thaw feels at the end of this period as to whether or not Thaw's counsel will go ahead with their re direct examination of her. Mr. Delmas has been making copious notes during Mr. Jerome's questioning of the wit nesses, and he will likely endeavor to place a different light upon some of the incidents which have been disclosed. With the cross-examination only half completed and with the re-direct and re-oross-examination still in view, there seems no way to approximate the number of days in the witness chair Mrs. Thaw has before her. If she is much fatigued at the end of Mr. Jerome's first cross examination she may be released for a time, subject to recall. In view of the fact, however, that the defendant's coun sel forced the District Attorney to pro teed with the cross-examination against his will, he will very likely insist in re turn that they shall also conclude with the witness before 'She is excused from the stand. t White's Letters to Another Girl. Mrs. Thaw on direct examination identi fied 42 letters as being in the handwrit ing" of Stanford White. The letters were not written to her, but to another girl. Mr. Delmas evidently is holding these let ters for Introduction during the re-direct examination and evidently hopes to have them admitted as off-setting what Mr. Jerome was expected to bring out on cross-examination. No intimation has been given as to what the letters con tain or to whom they were written. They may constitute a new element of surprise which is yet to be injected into a case which has already been so prolific of astounding incidents. Part of Story Vet t'ntold. Mrs. Thaw's associations with both White and Thaw after her return from Europe In 1903; the Interviews with Abe Hummel when was drawn up the famous affidavit, which she denied she had any part in framing; the Kuropean trip of 1904: the incident of the Cumberland Hotel and other incidents with Thaw, following her return; her marriage and the subsequent events up to the night bt the tragedy at Madison Square Garden no one of these have been inquired Into on cross-examination. It mould seem that the climax of sensatlon tlism had been reached yesterday, but it s said the District Attorney expects to oring out on Monday Incidents of at least u sensational character as those of yes terday. The details of the European trip of 1904 is still to be gone Into. The return to America and the false announcement of Thaw's marriage to Evelyn Nesbit when 'he first scandal arose is still to be told. The facts of the pursuit of the young .voman by Stanford White after her mar lage. which the defense told of in the )penlng days, must be brought out. The elations of the two before the marriage nust be described in detail. Her Veracity In Question. Of course, the actual truth of the story which Mrs. Thaw told her husband and 'hich Is said to' have unbalanced his mind rannot be questioned.. If she told htm the itory. and as a result Ids mind became ie'ianged, the truth of the story is imma erlsl. All that the eross-examiriation can levelop Is a doubt as to the veracity of he witness, a -doubt as to whether she eally did tell him or not. That is all the !ioss-examinatlon can show all but one liing. It is for the Jury to decide wheth tr constant brooding over the story which Cvelyn told Harry Thaw about her treat nent at the hands of Stanford White ictually caused derangement of his mind lufflclent to make him Incapable of tnowlng he was doing wrong when he tilled White. Did Thaw's actions after ic heard the story; did his relations with Svelyn Nesbit. covering a period of two rears after this revelation; did his treat nent of her and of White and a thousand ither things, indicate that he was brood ng over the story or that he was taking uivantage of it? This is for the jury to decide, and this is the doubt that District Attorney Jerome Is attempting to instill in the minds of the jurors. SAY GOOD WORD FOR NAVY Roosevelt's Advice to All Patriotic Citizens. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. Respect for the uniforms of the Army and Navy in all public places formed the princi pal topic of discussion at the opening session . of the Navy League of the United States, which met today in sec ond annual convention. Its member ship numbers about 5000. General Horace Porter, ex-Ambassador to France, presided. About 150 delegates were in attendance. The convention voted a recommenda tion that the governing board 'place the league on record as favoring the settlement of all international disputes by arbitration. A resolution was adopted calling upon the Secretary of the Navy to consider, in the plans of the- vessels''o be built, the desirability of including some space where enlisted men may read undisturbed, and that some such space be assigned on ships already in commission. A resolution was adopted asking for the passage of laws to prevent dis crimination In public places against persons wearing the uniform of the Army and Navy. This afternoon the delegates were re ceived by the President, who addressed them as follows: I take great pleasure In greeting you here, because it Is eminently true in a democracy that what Is everyone's business Is apt to be no one's business, and you are here on everybody's business. There is plenty of pressure of local Interest for public buildings, plenty of pressure for local Improvements in the river and harbor bill, but there Is no special Interest that is seeking to bring pressure to bear as It ought to he brought to bear for matters of great National con cern, por-eminently the Navy. Persons en gaged In the hurly burly of active political life most naturally tend to pay especial heed to the requests that are insistent; and It behooves our people to encourage pa triotic societies like this, which shall be In sistent upon the needs of America as a whole. The President and Congress both need to be reminded that it is necessary for the sake of America to encourage the upbuilding and maintenance of the I'nited States Navy. 1 am happy to say that, whereas last year we failed to get a battleship, this year we have two. We have made good the loss we met last year. Now I want all of you In your respective homes, through the organs of public opinion, by your Influence upon your representatives in Washington to see that the needs of the Navy are not forgotten in the future. The Navy has no one to speak for it save those who speak for It because of 'their devotion to the honor and the interest of the Vnited States, and I ask that you and those like you make your voices heard for the general welfare amid tlie din of voices that speak only for spe cial interest. JUMPS TRACK ON CURVE Pennsylvania Limited Wrecked and 2 9 Passengers Are Injured. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Feb. 23. Twenty nine persons were Injured when Pen nsylvania Railroad train No. 29. west bound for Chicago from New York, left the track at a sharp curve near Mineral Point, eight miles from here, at 12:10 o'clock this morning. No one was killed, although many of the passengers had narrow escapes. The three rear sleeping cars went over an embankment Into the Conemaugh River. Relief trains from Johnstown and Altoona brought physicians, who are working with the injured, some of whom, it Is said, will die. The track is torn up for a distance of 500 feet. Conductor McFord. who was in charge of the train, is reported to have been unhurt. The curve is one of the worst on the line and is dreaded by all trainmen. The cause of the wreck is yet unknown, but it Is said that the speed of the train was too great for the rounding of the curve. Train No. 19 is the 18-hour special limited between New York and Chicago. It left New York at 3:55 P. M. yester day and, when It pulled out of Altoona for Pittsburg, was more than an hour behind schedule time. When the ac cident happened, the train, it is said, was running at terrific speed. In leaving the rails, the train tore down all telegraph and telephone poles for a distance of 5o0 feet and the Pennsylvania Railroad itself. In order to get information, was obliged to send yardmen from Johns town with a yard engine. DEATH TOTAL REACHES 123 Hundred Bodies Rescued From Las Encranzas Mine. EAGLE PASS, Tex.. Feb. 22.-A dis patch from Las Eperanzas, Mexico, says that 100 bodies have been taken out of the mine of the Mexican Coal & Coke Com pany, in which an explosion of gas oc curred four days ago. There were known to be 23 men still in the shaft, and it is practically certain that they are all dead. Nearly one-half of the dead miners are Japanese. Several hundred of the men are at work clearing away the debris of the mine, and opening a way to the im prisoned men. Heart-rending scenes are of hourly oc currence near the mouth of the shaft In nearly every Instance Identification is impossible. the women and children crowding about every body that is brought up. Eight vehicles are engaged in the work of carrying the remains to the cem etery, and their progress is entirely blocked at times by the press of women who furiously demand further opportunity to prosecute their hopeless task of at tempting to identify the dead. The 10 doctors in attendance have been working without intermission. GEARIN NOT A CANDIDATE Says Idea That He Would Run for Mayor Is Crudely Ridiculous. Ex-Senator John M. Gearin is not and never intended to be a candidate for Mayor. When seen last night at the Port land Hotel and his attention calledato a published rumor that he was a candidate for Mayor, he was surprised and Indig nant that his name had been used. "This idea of my being a candidate for Mayor is crudely ridiculous." . he said. "The thing Is too silly even to take seri ous notice of. I haven't the slightest idea who could have started such talk. I am of the opinion that it would have been better had those who were interested in giving out such information for print to have consulted me first. It would have avoided a great deal of annoyance and have saved unnecessary explanations." Xavy Banquet In London. LONDON. Feb. 22. Washington's birth day was celebrated here today by the xMimuu uiaiiL-u ui uie American Aavy League wnn a ainner at the Savoy Ho tel, which was attended by many of the prominent members of the American colony.

TURN THEM LOOSE TO FISH Only Living Ex-Prcoident Speaks in Vein Both Grave and Gay at Chi cago Bemoans Neglect of National Holidays CHICAGO. Feb. 22. Ex-President Grover Cleveland was the guest of honor tonight at a banquet at the Union League Club, sharing the post-prandial honors with Richard Watson Gilder, of New York, and Howard L. Smith, dean of the University of Wisconsin law school. In introducing Mr. Cleveland. Judge Cut ting, toaptmaster, referred tn the question as to what the I'nited States should do with its ex-Presidents, and declared that the solution of the difficulty stood before them. "The only ex-President which the Uni ted States possesses," said he, "han so absolutely, so creditably, so happily dis posed of himself that there is nothing left for the country to do In" his behalf. "What more could man ask? He has Princeton, he has a family of children which he loves and. more than all, he has Mrs. Cleveland." When Mr. Cleveland arose, he was greeted with applause which lasted for several minutes. He said: Our toastmater has referred to a deli cate and tender subject, "What shall be done with our ex-Presidents? It has been FUgsested that they be taken out in a five-acre lot and shot. It deems to me, however, that an ex-president has already suffered that which shoulfl give immunity from any such thing.. I think the best place for an ex-president is in the water, especi ally water where, there tn plenty of rich. I have always understood that an after dinner speech must he in a kind of merry and complimentary mood. Now, I am an essentially sober man and I do not think that I am altORether to blame for this. I think the voters of the Vnited States ar truly implicated as accessories before the fact because they put me in a position where- I contracted solemnity a good deal as the t-oy caught the measles by sitting iiext to it. I would not have all our peo ple somber. I would have them thought ful and I would have them patriotic. In the midst of all their hopefulness I would have them remember that, more than all this, there is a duty, a stern duty. 'always present thit they owe to their country, and this duty Is patriotism. When we believe we are merely contributors to this fund of patriotism and that this fund Is a fund of love, a fund of brotherhood, a fund of fairness and a fund of American opportu nity, then we have the right Idea of Ameri can citizenship. I would like the people of Chicago to love thWr country as they love their city. No more can be asked of anybody who en joys the blessings of free American insti tutions. PATKIOTIC VIRTUES NEEDED Cleveland Speaks on Decay of What Washington Thought Essential. CHICAGO, Keb. 22. In an address before the L'nion League Club this aft ernoon on George Washington, .- ex President Grover Cleveland deplored the National indifference to commemo ration of great men and events in American history. He attributed the fact partly to the absorption of the fathers of the Republic in thefr con structive work, so that retrospection became an extinct faculty and this lack became hereditary. He also sug gested as a cause, that single-hearted loyalty and constant devotion have be come necessary to the perpetuity of our institutions. He then said: But after all why should we attempt to delude ourselves? I am confldent that I voice your convictions when I say that no play of Ingenuity and no amount of special pleading can frame an absolutely creditable excuse for our remissness in appropriate holiday observance. He then spoke of the commemora tion .of Independence Day as having "nearly -degenerated to a revel of sense less noise and dangerous explosion, leaving in Its train far more of mis hap and accident than lessons of good citizenship or pride of country." He said the original meaing of Thanks giving Day was "smothered In feasting- and social indulgence," while Christmas was celebrated "much less as a day of commemorating the birth of the redeemer of mankind than as a day of hilarity and the Interchange of gifts." While he did not deprecate "light hearted mirth and jollity," but advo cated "every kind of sane, decent, so cial enjoyment and all sorts of recre ation." he felt that to allow them an incongruous possession of our commem orative days was. "symtomatic of a popular tendency which was by no means reassuring." He then eulogized the Union League Club for keeping alive the memory of Washington, and delivered an elegant eulogy on the vir tures and public service of the father of his country. He then continued: Virtues Republic Xeeds. Three months before his inauguration aa first President of the Republic which he had done so much to create. Washington wrote a letter to Lafayette, his warm friend and revolutionary ally, in whieh he ex pressed his unremitting desire to establish a general syBtem of policy which, if pur sued, would "ensure permanent felicity to the Commonwealth"; and he added these words: "I think I see a path as clear and as direct as a ray of light, which leads to the Attainment of that object. Nothing but harmony, honesty, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a great and happy people. Happily the present posture of af fairs and the prevailing disposition of my countrymen promise to co-operate In estab lishing these four great and essential pil lars of public felicity." Such considerations as these suggest the thought that this is a time for honest self examination. The question impressed upon us with a demand for reply that will not be denied is: "Who among us all. If our hearts are purged of misleading Impulses and our minds freed from perverting pride, can be sure that today the posture of af fairs, and the prevailing disposition of our countrymen, co-operate In the establishment and promotion of harmony, honesty. Indus try and frugality?" Where These Virtues Are Lacking. The self-examination invited by this day's commemoration will be Incomplete and su perficial if we are not thereby forced to the confession that there are signs of the times which indicate a weakness and re laxation of our hold upon these saving vir tues. When thus forewarned it Is the height of recreancy for us obstinately to close our eyes to the needs of the situation and refuse admission to the thought that evil can overtake us. If we are to deserve security, we will carefully and dutifully take our bearings and discover if we can now far wind and tide have carried us away from safe waters. If we find that, the wickedness of de structive agitators and the selfish depravity of demagogues have stirred up discontent and strife where there should be peace and harmony, and have arrayed against each other interests which should dwell together In hearty co-operation; if we find that the old standards of sturdy, uncompromising American honesty have become so corroded and weakened by a sordid atmosphere that our people are hardly startled by crimes In high places and shameful betrayals of trust everywhere; if we find a sadly prev alent disposition among us to turn from the highway of honorable industry into shorter crossroads leading to irresponsible and worthless ease; if we find that wide spread wastefulness and extravagance have discredited the wholesome frugality which was once the pride of Americanism we should recall Washington's admonition that harmony, industry and frugality are "es sential pillars of public felicity." and forth with endeavor to change our course. Hatred Born of Party Feeling. It is our habit to affiliate with political parties. Happily the strength and solidity of our institutions can safely withstand the utmost freedom and activity of political discussion so far as it involves the adop tion of governmental policies or the en forcement of good administration. But they cannot withstand the frenzy of hate which seeks under the guise of political earnest ness to blot out American brotherhood and to cunningly persuade our people that a crusade of envy and malice is no more than a zealous insistence upon their manhood rights. Political parties are exceedingly human: and they easier fall before temptation than Individuals by so much as partisan success is the law of their life and because their responsibility is impersonal. It is easily recalled that poltlcal organizations have been quite willing to utilize gusts of popu lar prejudice and resentment; and I be lieve they have been known aa a matter of shrewd management to encourage voters to hope for some measure of relief from economic abuses and yet to "stand pat" on the day appointed for realization. We have fallen upon a time when It be hooves every thoughtful citizen whose po litical beliefs are based on reason and who cares enough for his manliness and duty to save them from barter, to realize that the organization of the party of his choice needs watching, and that at times it is not, amiss critically to observe its direc tion and tendency. This certainly ought to result In our country's gain; and it is oniy partisan Impudence that condemns a member of a political party who on proper occasion submits its conduct and the loy alty to principle of its leaders, to a court of review over which his conscience, his reason and his political understanding pre side. "The Land That Lives In Vs." I protest that I have not epokem In a spirit of pessimism. 1 have and enjoy my full share of the pride and exultation which our country's material advancement so fully justifies. Its limitless resources, its astonishing growth. Its unapproachable Industrial development and Irrepressible In ventive genius have made it the wonder of the century. The land we live In seems to be strong and active. But how fares the land that lives In us? Are we sure that we are do ing all we ought to keep It in vigor and health? Are we keeping Its roots well surrounded by the fertile soil of loving al legiance, and are we furnishing them the Invigorating moisture of unselfish fidelity? The land we live in is safe so long as we are duiifully careful of the land that lives in us. But good intentions and fine senti ments will not meet the emergency. If we would bestow upon the land that lives In us the care it needs. It is Indispensable that we should recognize the weakness of our human nature and our susceptibility to temptations and influences that Interfere with a full conception of our obligations and thereupon we should see to It that cupidity and selfishness do not blind our consciences or dull our efforts. LET OXLV MARRIED MEX VOTE Cleveland Inclined to Favor New Suffrage Qualification!,. CHICAGO, Feb. 22. The anniversary of the birth of George Washington was generally observed here today. The majority of the down -town busi ness houses were closed during the greater part of the day and the Board of Trade and the banks did not open. The principal celebration of the day was in the hands of the Union League Club, which has for many years made .1 feature of patriotic exercises on Feb ruary 22. In the morning exercises we.re held in the Auditorium under the auspices of the club, at which Presi dent John H. Finley. of the College of the City of New York, was the prin cipal speaker. This afternoon there was a great meeting in the Auditor inm, ex-President Grover Cleveland being the orator of the day. Following Mr. Finley's address Mr. Cleveland was called upon for a few remarks. He declared he had not ex pected to be called on to talk, but did so briefly, urging upon the hundreds of children in the audience a close adherence to the best principles of patriotism. He declared that he had some days aero received a letter from a man who advocated a marriage qual ification for suffrage, and while he was not prepared to indorse the proposi tion fully, he believed that the propo sition contained some virtue. Inasmuch as it would place the guardianship of the country in the hands of those who had homes of their own. CONTEST GALLAND WILL RELATIVES OF" SEATTLE MIL LIONAIRE IP IX ARMS.
