yesterday. "Across the guloh has been

Councilman Bennett to vary much In
favor of building , th bridge, and be
lieves that both th East Twenty-eighth
street bride and the .Union avenue
bridge can be built by the olty at onoe.
He said that ths Union avenue bridge
could not be built until the Grand ave
nue bridge was finished so that the
cars could be transferred to that brldgv
and he saw no reason why, in the mean
while, the Twenty-signtn street Driage
could not be constructed. He said that
ths city would have sufficient funds
and he thought that it was ths more
necessary improvement. - -. ,-
The stsnd taken by Councilman K. K.
Menefee Is somewhat different. - Mr.
Menefe contends that th Union ave

the two and realises that both are necea
sary but will Insist that both bridges
be constructed statue asms time, ne

Menefee will support the Twenty-
eighth street project, providing that the
executive board will assure h!m that
the Union avenue bridge will be also
built at once. He also said that a higher
tax levy would be necessary for next
year If both the as bridges war to b
constructed becaua there would not be
sufficient funds to ; build : both . the
bridges. " :
Councilman Kellaher stands with Ben

Though we put men behind bars, that Is
to be expected. The trouble is with
society, which by Its apathy and its
own corruptions makes this dishonesty
by officials and by special Interests
profitable. Instead of conceding to a
publlo service corporation a reasonable
Interest, say per cent on Its Invest
ment In consideration of its affording
the publlo a good service maintained by
good equipment, society permlta It to
be more profitable for them to make
enormous dividends with Inferior equip
ment and wretched service.
"It must be educated to a realisation
of Its own dereliction of eivlo duty.
But there Is hope. When the Issue
between clean government and graft Is
fairly presented to the people th spirit
of an honest man's decency and respect
will prevail. But he must b taught
to look beyond the Individual whom he
would place lr Jail- for grafting to th
public conscience, which makes the
grafter poastble In office and for which
the publlo Itself Is responsible."

There was a rumor today that Jer

"I am certainly not" was th reply.

where I may visit my husband every

Mrs. Thaw ' had somewhat recovered
from her exhaustion of Friday and
though weak and pale, seemed more re
alga ed and hopeful. .
up at the hotel Lorraine It was said
that Mrs. William Thaw and the other
members of th family were stilt suf
fering from th shock of ths disagree
ment of the jury, and would make no
statement for the public . They have
made no plana, ' It was learned at the
hotel that no notice has been served

minutes today, but aftsr the Interview
he seemed to be as 'much In th dark
as ever, over th matter of applying
for ball, as th other members of the
counsel. . . -
"Nothing has been decided as yet,"
he replied.. ... '- , ';
There are a number of things that
must oe ascertained Drore aa applica

The rumor still persistently , floats
about that all ths six council who de
fended Thaw during th recent trial
will be disposed of with the exception
of O'Reilly Who. 'with the assistance Of
Thaw and his mother, will select a new
trial lawyer, and work will b begun at
onoe on the -plan of campaign. O'Reilly
was not visible today, but those who
sought to support tha story of hi ele
vation to th rank - of chief and only
counsel for Thaw pointed to th fact
that beginning with th judge's charge
It was O Reilly who was sent forward
by Thaw to make the request to charge,
that it was be who took th exception
to th judge' refusal.- be who was
called In Justice' Pitsgerald'a chamber
to oonsult with Jerome whan It was
found that th Jury could not agree, and
the proposition of discharging there was
taken no. .- .
It was he whom Justice Fltsgerald
specifically . mentioned when he was
having the consent of counsel to the
dismissal of the jury entered on the
record, and It 'was O'Reilly who con
sulted with Thaw after the disagree
ment and escorted young Mrs. Thaw
back to her hotel.
In addition to this It ' waa CRelllv

(Hearat Itews by Leageet Leased Wwa.) '
London. April IS, The disagreement
of the jury la the Thaw trial was a
general toplo of ' converaatloa today.
while all of the papers commented on
It. The general tendency waa to sneer
at the American system of conducting
criminal cases and to prala th man
ner of conducting similar trials In Eng
land. Tha Star ssys:
"Ths jury, after being saturated for
nearly two months' with every form" of
mendacloua hysteria, naturally waa la
such 'a stat ef mental chaos that It
could not agree either to . convict or
to acquit.' .'.,
Th yellow mange, which la creep
ing over th press ef both America, and
England, la a loathaoms disease. It la I
absolutely without conscience and with
out morala. It has ao ataadard of de
cency or dignity, no sense of reticence
and Is quite as ready to beslobber th
notorious harlot as to boom th pred
atory millionaire. It has no interest
la truth, except as an obstacle to b
Overcome, in pursuit of a sensation. It
prefers a lis which makes a good story
to verity, which makes a bad on." -
: Beairoya Bcspcot fog property.-'
Th Glob aaya: "The crime .was i
merely a common variant of th eternal I
problem, two men and one woman, has
been overlaid with legal embroidery and
forensio eloquenoe to- an extent utter
ly disproportion! to Its real complex
ity.
"It la not too much to say that If
th chief parsonages had been . two
Bowery toughs and a street girl. Instead
of two millionaires and aa actress, the
trial would hardly have lasted aa many
hours as the actual Investigation did
weeks. Whatever the outcome for
Thaw may ' bo, th affair can hardly
help having deplorable effeeta on pub
lie opinion in the United Bute. Nothing
Is mors calculated to destroy respect for
property than th spectacle of wealth
without responsibility, leisure without
wisdom and luxury without refinement."
Other papers review the various'
stages of the trial and declare that
American preetlge has Buffered severe
ly, and th eaa Is called a "signal
proof of the utter inefficiency of
American statesmanship to volv a
practical legal system." - .-. '
Another psper says: "A strong Eng
lish judge would hav mads short work
of th trial, reducing to a minimum its
degrading sensationalism." Surprise is
expressed 'that Justice Fltxgerald did
not dominate th proceeding as would
an Engllan judge. - ': ' .- .
' SagOlsh Juris So store.' --"
Recorder George C , Cave, M. P.. in
opening Guilford sessions todsy referred
to the Thsw trial Indirectly in charg
ing tha grand Jury. He saldf.--
"We are apt to congratulate ourselves
on comparing the English and American
criminal systems. Counsel in this coun
try are disposed to save th time of th
court and there la. a -tradition that
prosecuting counsel should act .struggle
to obtain conviction. , .
' "We trust our juries more than do
th Americana., I hop that tha pro
posed - criminal appeal court - will not
give th .rich an ad van tag over th
poor." , ; .

He declined absolutsly to make any
reply to th asvsg strictures of Mr.
Oleeson who also declined today te
make any further . eomment on th
conduct of th case.
-Peebody followed Ceimaa Into , the
Tombs and when he emerged he said:
"Mr. Thsw autborlsea me to aay that
up .to the present time he has made
no, ohange of counsel. You msy say

Final! Hartridge Was " seen. "Are

asked. ' ' . i ,
"So far as I know."
"Will you conttnus to bet"
"I cannot say anything about that"
' "Will Mr. Delmaa , remain In th
caseT" J
"I don't know anything about that,
but he waa retained for a epeclflo pur
pose, you know, to sum up." ' i
"And having summed ua does that
end his connection with thecessT",
' "I don't know."
' Hartridge said that Mr. Delma had
been assured a specific sunt for tig'
services and that he had received eo
far all ot th payments that were due
him, which amounted to something
over 11,000. Upon all other topics, Mr.
Hartridge waa Indefinite.. In a most
positive manner, howsvsr, he declared
that at the next Thaw trial ne aid not
think that f "dementia Americana"
would be th defense. - ,, '
And this leads to another interesting
report thet went about Jn connection
with tha Thaw, caae today. . Delma was
being severely criticised for his appeal
to the "unwritten law" and the slurring
over of th Insanity theory tn hi sum
ming up, to which all th world lis
tened. A friend Interposed , with . this
curious explanation: . -,. , V .
Cartons Bxplanatloa,
"Among th flxed beliefs of th to
Dls of Great Britain Is that no one shaH
sit In ths house of lords against whom
there Is the slightest suspicion of la-
sanity " or tendencies toward Insanity.
In th years to corns It Is possible that
a son nnd hair msy be born te tAdy
Yarmouth, and that In due course that
heir may aeek to take hla seat among
th' hereditary legateea of the United
Klnsdom. Too great elaboration of
hereditary inclination toward Insanity
might In ths -years to follow rise up
sgalnst the heir , of th Yarmouth and
therefore ." ' "
Anothaa story current today was that
litigation might, follow the dlsmimal of
soma of counsel for Thaw or that one
of th attorney feel that he haa not
been sufficiently compensated for his
services, and If summarily asked to re
tire from th caae may bring aotlon for
