swers Many Questions.
New York, Feb. 26. —President Har
riman, of the Union Pacific, resumad j
the stand before the Inter-State Com
merce Ccmmission today.
Attorney Kellogg, for the comijiis
sion, produced a contract, relating to j
the Chicago terminal transfer, by j
showing that Harriman, George J.j
Gould, James Stillman and Jacob;
Schiff were owners of the company.
The witness said the docum:nt no
doubt was correct and that possibly he
had acted in fixing the price of the
road. when it Y:as,sold to the AU«fc - -
Kellogg also produced two checks to
show Kuhn, Loeb & Co. had been man
agers of the Alton syndicate and the
witness said they undoubtedly had
been the syndicate managers.
Kellogg continued the attack on the
issue and the sale of the Alton bonds,
but the witness declined to be drawn
very far.
He was sure that the market condi
tion had all to do with the sale of
bonds at high figures.
In reply to questions, Harriman de
nied he was head and front of the re
adjustment or reorganization of the
Alton.
Harriman told the story of the de
position of President Fish from the Illi
nois Central which, he said, was done
by the board because of Fish's repeated
use of the road's funds to pad the
trust company statements, and his dis
-1 regard cf the board of directors.
Testimony Continued.
Harriman said the sale of the
Southern Pacific stock was purchased
by the Union,/ Pacific and the Oregon

mission of $187,500 on the return of

Introdused at Today's
•
Session.
Raleigh, N. C., Feb. 26. —It seems
to be settled that there will be no
change i nthe personnel of the Sen
ate committee on the railroad and
passenger rate bill. No reference
was made today on the floor of the
Senate to Mr. Graham's sensational
attack yesterday cn Lieutenant Gov
ernor Winston, the action of the
caucus last evening seeming to set
tle the matter. Senator Graham in
troduced a bill today, to make rail
road roads over 100 niiles
long, 2Vz cents flat, the Corporation
Commission to regulate rates on
.-mailer roads. He asked as a per
sonal favor that the bill go to the
judiciary committee and be made a
special order for Thursday. This
was bitterly opposed by Mr. Webb
and others, who contended that the
Senate had already adopted a rate
bill and this would ohly block legis
lation. The bill was referred to the
railroad committee, of which Sena
tor Graham is chairman. Later, at
Mr. Graham's request, the bill was
sent to the joint conference com
mittee ,this being the committee, the
appointment of which caused the
attack on the presiding officer of the
Senate.
The Senate • discussed at great
length the House, bill, known as the
Bickett anti-lobbying bill. It was
finally killed by a close vote.
The House bill was passed, regu
lating the sale of merchandise in the
bulk. The passage of this bill had
oeen urged by the merchants' asso
ciation of the State.
The Governor sent a message to
the General Assembly, urging the
appropriation of $150,000 for a new
State building on the site of the prea
ent agricultural building. Necessity
for better care of State records is
urged as calling for the building. In
connection with thte reading of the
message in the House it was stated
that the committee on public build
ings and grounds had agreed on a
bill appropriating $50,000 annually
for two years for a new wing at the
east end of the capital.

New York City, February 26. —Abra-

He is the man who drew the famous
affidavit which Evelyn Thaw says she
was tricked into signing and which
makes the various unpleasant charges
against Harry Thaw.
Jerome has a photographic copy of
the affidavit which Hummel will be
called on to identify when Evelyn will
resume her story.
Abe Hummell on Stand.
Abraham H. Hummell was called as
a witness.
He was shown a photographic copy
of the famous affidavit which the wit
ness, said refreshed his memory so he
could state positively that the date on
which Evelyn Thaw called at his office
was October 27th, 1903.
He said he dictated a statement to
his stenographer while she was pres

Delmas objected. Jerome said if he
could prove White was in Europe the
night she said she was drugged it wou
night she said she was drugged it
would be a collateral fact and 1 would
not be allowed to put in evidence, but
if she told Thaw in Paris there was no
truth in the statement about "White
that would be a material fact.
The affidavit contains allegations
th a tahTwwh eathatbedyl
that Thaw whipped Miss Nesbit when
she told him there was no truth in
the statement about White and refus
ed to sign the papers, making definite
changes against the architect:-

Hummell was excused when Abra

sign the paper.
Mrs. Thaw was recalled. It develop

she said was in her hand writing. It
was a diary she kept while at school
in Pompton, N. J.
Jerome read a few extracts, one of
which was: "Mrs. Demille said to
come right in and I jumped with the
agility of a soubrette and began to get
shy."
Another read: "She has a son, but
I must say he is a pie-faced mutt."
Then Jerome read: "My room here

Another page read: "I hereby swear

"When one comes to think it over,
