the third sizes .can be sold for a

profit In tho Industry for tho grow
ers. Tho resolution In full follews:
"Whereas, Tho present method of
grading prunes Is arbitrary becnuso
of constant loss to tho growers,
thereforo bo It
"Resolved, That tho growers of
Roscdalo district favor a change by
which tho two lnrgest sizes of any
season's output (as at present
graded) be known as first or fancy
sizes; the succeeding two sizes as sec
ond or mediums and tho smaller
sizes, as third grado or smaller
prunes.
"That copies of these resolutions
bo given the dally pnpors of Salem,
and also our agricultural papers,
and that a copy of tho abovo be pre

England Shy of Our Tinned Meat.
Washington, Fob. 27. Tho month
ly report of tho British bonrd of
trado shows that only 748,272
pounds of preserved moat wore Im
ported Into Great Britain Inst month.
This Is a striking dccllno In com
parison with tho Imports Into thnt
country In tho month of January,
1905, which amounted to G.705.GC2
pounds. For tho snmo month In
190C the Imports were 7,857,280
pounds. This decrenso In tho popu
larity of tinned food In Great Britain
moans a monthly Iobb of something
lifo $750,000 to American and for
eign packers.

Tho legislators had to pay their

Now York, Feb. 27. Evelyn was
called to tho stand as tho first wit
ness when tho court opened this
morning.
Delmns explained to tho ' court
this morning that ho thought he
would finish his enso this week.
Evelyn Again on Stand.
Evelyn and Mrs. Cnlno ontorcd
tho court room boforo tho trial was
rosumod this morning. As soon as
court convoned Thaw's lawyers told
them they must leave. Evelyn was
disappointed, nnd tonra filled her
oyos. She walked out slowly and
smiled nt her husband through her
tonrs.
Jeromo oxplnlncd to tho court
thnt In his rebuttal ho would follow
tho "traversable fact." To do this,
under the rules, ho must havo called
Evolyn's nttontlon to tho subject.
Evelyn was called. Sho came In dry
ing her eyes.
"You havo a brother, Howard
Nesblt?" began Jeromo.
"Yes, sir."
"On your roturn from Eilropo In
1903, did you tell your brothor How
ard, In substance, thnt whllo you
woro abroad you hnd boon abused by
Thaw to Indue) you to tell lies
agaltiBt White, nnd thnt these lies
woro that ho hnd drugged and mls
troatol you, which Btory you told
Howard was false?"
"I did not."
Hvr Denials Kmphntlr.
"Didn't you tell your brother that
you wcro compelled at tho point of
a revolver to mnko such a Btnto
mont?" "I did not."
"Did you toll Howard these factB
In substnnco at somo tlmo?"
"I did not."
Each tlmo tho nnswor wnB repeat
ed with greater emphasis.
"Didn't ho say to you that you
ought to havo somo way to protect
yourself, and suggested you enrry a
rovolvcr?"
I "Ho did not."
"Did ho.buy you n revolver?"
"No, ho "did not."
Thoro was a lengthening pauso bo-
tween tho emphatic words each
time.
i "Did you over carry a rovolvcr?"
I "Never In my life."
"Didn't you give Hownrd money
and send him to buy a rovolvcr?"
"I did not."
Evolyn was hero oxctiacd again.
Delmns called Dr. Bingham,
Thaw'B family physician, of Pitts
burg, to tho stand. Blnghnm said
ho was called to attend Thnw In
1903. Ho found him nervous nnd
melnncholy; slept nnd ato badly
and wns greatly changed tho doctor
snld from provious times ho knew
him as a patient. Tho phsylclan, nn
swering questions, said: "Saw him
at tho Tombs in August, again in
September 1906. Should say ho was
Irrational and laboring under a de
lusion. At tho tlmo of tho second
visit ho found ho had intertwined
newspapers between tho bars of tho
cell.
Jerome Probos Iusuuity Plea.
Jeromo began tho cross-examination
of Bingham by trying to ques
tion him as to tho collateral taint of
Insanity In Thaw's family. Delmas'
objection was sustained.
"It la Important that I bo allowed
to show this," Jeromo explained.
Dr. Evans testified the' defendant
suffered from a peculiar font! of In
sanity marked by tho brain terms
"Exploslvo fulihlnation."
"My purpose la to show that there
Is no taint of this kind of insanity in
the Thaw family."
"Wo admit such testimony," said
Delmas.
The cross-examination developed
nothing Important.
"Tho prisoner said bo was afraid
of pnoumonla, and said tho officials
wero having cold air forced in so ho
might catch pneumonia and die. Ho
asked mo to examino his pulse, and
I told him it was not unnatural, but
Irregular, and ho said it might have
been caused by something that hap
pened after tho act of prpvldence." ,
There was a noticeable lifting to
day of tho Intense Interest in tho
Thaw case. Evelyn concluded her
testimony with a rohash of the story
first told. Sko was excused Tuesday
until Jerome recalls her for the re
buttal. Tho testimony of Thaw's
mother is expected to bo dry, nnd
also tho technical ovldonco of tho
experts. This testimony will bo of
Httlo Interest to tho public, but of
tho greatest Importance to tho de
fendant. Since the attorneys havo
learned of the likelihood of Jeromo
calling a lunacy commission tho
nllontsts havo watched overy movo
of tho prisoner, to bo prepared to
establish the fact that ho has recov
ered his mental strength.
DrfciiM' Conriuiloft This Week.
Jerome asked Delmas to nllow him
to tnko over Blnghnm as a witness
for the state, nnd submit him to dl-
jqct examination, so tho doctor could
return homo

"I havo boon accepted as an ox-

"But nre you a mnstor?" persisted
Jerome.
''If you mean by a master one who

"Aro thero any masters In your

"I should say thero nro no mnstorB

Jeromo producod a pamphlot writ

nsked: "Are you still of tho opinion
thnt It Is highly Important thnt n

thnt such an attitude Is bettor than

"Yes."
Do you know what Insanity is, In

"Yes."
"Ib that nil you know nbout It?"
That Is satisfactory. Anyone who
