DELMAS REVOKES WAIVER Promised to Allow Jerome Chanc to Disprove Story of Prisoner's Wife But Later Recalls Promise and Shuts Out Evidenoe. XEW YORK. March 18. At last the Thaw case seema to be coming to an end. It now appears that the case will go to the Jury within two weeks. The prosecution has practically finish ed Its rebuttal with the exception of its experts and tonight Mr. Jerome will have examined all of his witnesses ex cept the three or more alienists who will be called to show by their an wers to a hypothetical question that In their opinion Thaw was Insane when he shot Stanford White. This morning Mr. Jerome will call Abraham Hummel and his clerk, j Scheidecker, in an attempt to secure the admission to evidence of a copy of the affidavit making charges against Thaw which Evelyn Nesblt Thaw says she was tricked into signing. It is very doubtful whether they will be al lowed to testify, as the court has re re peatedly ruled that no evi dence may be introduced to show that the story she testified she told her husband was not true. Mr. Delmas, who In the early days of the trial, stated In open court that the defense would acknowledge that rule but would opon the gates and allow the District Attorney to go as fur as he liked into the truth or falsity of the story, has since Mr. Jerome began of ferlng evidence In rebuttal Invoked the rule, and yesterday when Mr. Jerome demanded that he stand by his waiver und offered to prove that Stanford White was not where Evelyn Thaw said he was on the night she says she was ravished. Mr. Detmns made no further reply than to again invoke the rule of law which shut out the offered evidence. Last night Mr. Jerome did not know of any other witnesses he would call to day, . May McKensle, Evelyn Thaw's chorus girl friend, and Maxle Follette, her chorus girl enemy, are both of them under sub poenas by the prosecution and both of them were at the court house building, but it is doubtful If either of them would be allowed to testify even if called. It seems likely that today's session of court will be a brief one, and that an early adjournment will be taken that Mr. Jerome and Mr. Delmas may agree on the exact language of the hypothetical question which Mr. Jerome will read to his first expert on Tuesday. NO THIRD TERM. President of Columbia University Says Roosevelt Will Not Run. LOS ANGELES, March IX In an Interview here Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia Unlver sity said: "President Roosevelt will not run for president again no matter what pressure is brought to bear upon him. The principles which Roosevelt stands for are greater thanthe man. The republican party must support these principles, no matter who Its standard bearer may be at the next election. With Mr. Root President and Mr. Taft chief Justice of the su preme court, conditions would be pretty near ideal. But I hardly look for such a combination to succeed." i GET THEM AT JaloTf s New Store 12) Eleventh St., Between Commercial and tiourt ARTISTIC t milline: Ladies' Suits, Coats, Skirts Waists and Furnishings Our garments have a distinctive style, high class materials, best of workmanship, and when it comes from JALOFF'S I Just Arrived: i you won't see any more like it in this market.

BEHIND EACH ARTICLE SOLD IN HIS STORE Referring to the Japanese question on the Pacific coast, President Butler saH: "I like the way In which the major and school board of San Francisco went Washington and acted with the president in bringing about a happy solution of the Japanese question. It was diplomatic. It appears to me that the conference resulted In finding a good way out of the difficulty. Of course, San Francisco people object to having adult Japanese In the schools with their children. It should not be allowed. Make other arrangement for adult as you would In the case of the adult French, Germans, or people of any other nation." President Butler is at the Hotel Wentworth, Pasadena, with his bride on their honeymoon. Mrs. Butler was formerly Miss Kate la Montagne of New York. CANAL CONDITIONS FAVORABLE. Coolies Wilf Not be Employed Except As Last Expedient. Charleston, s. c, March u. Conditions generally In the Panama canal zone are said to be favorable for completion of the canal within the eight years, ending January 1, 1915, as estimated by the engineers In charge of the work, In the opinion of the com mittee fro mcommerclal clubs, of Chicago, Boston, Cincinnati and 81, Louis, who have arrived here after a visit to the Isthmus. This opinion la embodied In a series of reports, all of which were approved by all members of the party. From them a general report will be prepared by the chair of the several groups under whose di rection they were made and the gen. eral report will be submitted to the clubs represented by the committees The force of men Is declared to be ad equate and efficient and the committee expresses a Relief that no difficulty will be experienced In recruiting the force from time to time as conditions may demand. In this connection the opin ion Is expressed that the laborers will be drawn from the white and black ' races, and "Because Chinese labor Is not wanted." j It Is recognized by the officials of the carial, the report says, that while tlp Chinese coolie would! meet all , thfc jreqjul'rementfs of Intelligence, strength, and vitality, his introduction would lead to difficulties of adminis tration and segregation which it seems desirable to avoid, unless the con fronting of the subject becomes necessary. IENA EXAMINED. Hundred and Eighte.n Believed to Have B.en Killed. TOULON, March 13. The efforts to recover the bodies of those killed by the explosion on board the battleship Iena hero yesterday have not as yet resulted In definitely fixing the number of casual! ties. After a last roll call to night there were still unaccounted for eight officers and a hundred and ten men. There Is little doubt that the missing perished. Minister of Marine Thompson examined the Iena late to day after the drydock had been emp tied. The Interior steel planking and partitions of the battleship show signs of having been subjected to enormous pressure.
