MAY FINISH AND CASE COW.IURY
PROBABLY THIS AFTERNOON.
SPEECH IS FULL OF SARCASM
Said Thnt Jury Hud Itecn For Two
Dnys Wnndorlng In tho Fields
of Romance.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK Aprlt 10. All previous
crowdB which havo clamored for ad-
mission to tho court room to hear tho
"proceedings of tho Thaw murder trial
are Insignificant when compared to
tho mob of today which stormeVl the
court room In frantic effort for ad-
mission. 8Thoro were many women
among tho curious to hear the speech
of tho district attorney and it was all
that tho police could do to keep tho
(loors closed and disperse tho mob.
The chamber was filled within a few
moments after which tho doors were
closed.
District Attorney Jerome began his
address to the jury at 11:39 o'clock.
Ho began his speech following the
powerful argument of Dolphin M. Del-
inaff by saying to the twelve men that
thefy had been wandering for the lastjthe entertllInnent of the delegntes
two days in the fields of romance. Ho
said that the case was not one of rape
bu tmurder and that the appeal to the
sympathy and passion of tho jury was
a broad departure from duty of tho
counsel for tho defense. There could
bo but one of four verdicts: Murder in
tho first degree murder in tho second
degree manslaughter or not guilty be-
cause of Insanity. He referred sar-
castically to "dementia Americana"
asking if it was a higher law under
which a man may follow the woman
through tho capitals of Europe as
his mistress and then kill. He warned
the jury that it would be a violation of
their oath to consider "dementia Amer--fcamttleclarlngnhavit'hail.inrtttattis
on Amotloan seaboard.

U.S. SUPREME COURT.
WASHINGTON April 8. The con-
stitutionality of the Louisiana law of
1898 making taxable In that SUito
notes taken by nonresidents on ac-
count of business transacted thoro
was brought Into question in tho caso
of -tho Metropolitan Life Insurance
company of New York vs. tho City of
Now Orleans which was decided by
tho supreme cout of tho United Stntes
today In favor of tho city tho opinion
being by Justice Moody. The suit grow
out vof an effort by the city to tax tho
company for $10000 worth cof credits
mi business transocted In tho Stato
which was resisted by the company on
the ground that tho notes were taxnblo
only in NoW TSork where' thoy wore
hshl. The attempt of the authorities
was characterized as an effort to ox-
tend thc'taxlng power of tho Louisiana
authorities beyond tho Stato and to
tako property without due; process of
law. Justice" Moody said that tho
mere absence of tho notes from tho
placo of their origin did not deprive
them of a taxable status in Louisiana

CASKS FOR FAST DRIVING
POSTPONED IN CITY COURT
The cases In Recorder court or Coke
W. Harkrldor and Istiam G. Harris
charging t'lom wllli'last driving With-
in the city limits was postponed yes-
terday afternoon and tho chances are
that thoy will not bo tried for a tlay
or so. Besides the fact that these will
be the first cases for tho now recorder
and citv attorney thoro is considerable
Interest manifested by owners of fast
and fancy singln drivers in tho city.
The defendants will bo represented by
A. S. Hardwlcke Esq. white the new
city attorney H. Rob Keeblo Esq will
prosecute. Those Interested have dif-
ferent opinions and it reminds us of
the! German's criticism of tho -English
language: "When f stands still
T vas 'fast.' Von I runs 1 was 'fast'"
and ven I eats not I vas 'fast' T can
no forstay nur English talk already

"Gov. Campbell tolay signed the
bill which makes gambling a felony
In Texas. It becennos operative Im-
mediately and under its provisions
any person found gambling in Texas
can be sent to the penitentiary Any
person owning a house in which gam-
bling utensils are kept Is also liable
to a Jnil penalty and any person play-
ing cards In a private house for a
prize Is also liable to Imprisonment
for thirty days in the county jail be
it man or woman."
Tho above constitutes a dispatch
sent from Austin to the 'Memphis Ap-penl-Avalunchenml.
it detto&s wc
how beautifully and completely a
little thing may bo lied about when It
Is sent away from home.
The gambling law recently passed
by the legislature contains no provis-
ion whereby "any person found gam-
bling in Texas may bo sent to the pen-
itentiary." Under the provisions of the bill the
penitentiary clause is limited to the
man who runs a gambling house or
operates u gaming device for the en-
tertainment of 'suckers" and to the
man who knowingly rents a house In
which gambling Is carried on.
The "quicker" who pikes at the
card board or wheel of fortune is as
under the old law merely a prospec-
tive victim for a ten-dollar flno ex-
cept that under the now law he may
be sentenced to jail for In day or a
month at the discretion of the court
or jury.
The concluding statement In the
offending dispatch to the uffect that
"any person playing cards In a private-
house for a "prize Is also liable to
imprisonment be it man or woman"
is grossly false and misleading.
The new law is very plain on this
point. It sayss.
Provided no person shall
he Indicted under this section for pliij -lug
said games with dominoes or cards
at a private residence occupied by n
family unless same Is commonly re-
sorted to for tho purpose of gambling
and provides further thnt no banking
game played With cards or dominoes
shall bo oxempted from tho Provisions
of this net on account or being played
at a private resldonce occupied by a
family.
ft is to the credit of thq bill that It
forever sots at rest this question of
tho privilege of card parties Jn private
homes a matter that has in the past
furnjslior material for trouble makers.
Tho frnmers of tho law did not
recognize nor does any sensible per-
son that card or domino parties In
prlvnte homes have any relationship
whatever-to gambling either In form
or spirit.
Tho law makers had In yiow tho
crushing of tho professional gambling
In Texas nnd tho people aro grateful
for tho results of tholr effort. Snn

1 Tho Story of Cotton.
The ginning report on tho cotton
crop gives tho country a good margin
ovor 13000000 lmles. This second
largest ylold In tho crop's history
serves to rccnll the achievement of
tho United States us a producer of "this
staple. Many changes have occurred
In the political economic and soclnl
life of tho nation since tho first cen-
sus or 1700 reported one and one-half
million pounds of. cotton. Now wo
have nearly tentlmcs us many bales as
there wore pounds then.
The cotton trade now thinks hi mil-
lions of bales. The first nillllon-balo
crop was gathered In 1820 just when
the period of railroads began. Next
to the cotton gin the railroads have
made the cotton world what it is to-
day. Those days of beginnings wcro
slow. It was not until 1821 that tho
two-million limit was reached. The
first five and one-third million bales
weie grown in 1859. But that was
the climax of the ancient regime.
Then came the crisis of the country's
historj when the struggle over prin
ciples suhorinnated all else so that
it was not until 1878 that the five-million
mark was again reached.
The next ten years comprised a
period of remarkable stability in tho
major prop of this southern bolt of
States. Between 1878 and 1888 tho to-
tal yield varied little more than 1000.-
000 bales from one year to another.
But on the other hand Ibis was a pe-
riod of preparation for an cnlargemen'
which began to show Itself clearly a i
early as 1890 when ten million bale
were first grown. Yet this Increase
wns probably-prcinaiur'e "SfcenHBo of
the bankrupting depression which
camo In the next few years. Tho de-
cade following 1890 saw tho cheapest
cotton Jn the record of prices nnd It
was not until the beginning of the dt'-
cade in which we now nro that ho turn
for the bettor began to nppear.
Noxt In rank to production Is the
roll of consumption in domestic manu-
factures. Not until 14559 did the United
States consume more than 1000000
bales. ' That year the consumption
was 1 197.37S bales the noxt year It
more than doubled and 18G1 It had
more than trebled from which it foil
to 1040000 bales In 1SC2. It wns
1872 before a million-bale consump-
tion was resumed. Meanwhile the ox-
port price per pound had risen from
11 cents In 1859 to 52.8 cents In 18C3.
Thip high maximum measured tho In-
tensity of the foreign worlds' demand.
From this high level it took llfteon
years to return to the 10-cont oxjort
price In tho mlddlo of tho eighties.
Tho present basis om cotton values
is the outcome of a growing appre-
ciation of domestic needs along with
a romarkablo advance In forolgn de-
mand. The throo-niilllon bale mark
for homo consumption was ronchod
In 1897. In that year falling prices of
merchandise came to an end with a
gradual upward turn which has not
yot come to hit end. In that year too
tho foreign demand first struck the
olght-mlllion halo limit Except In
1901 there has been no very rapid gain
In either of these two branches of
consumption. Yet so steady have tho
world's spinning requlrcmonts boon
that cotton production hus been ablo
to tako1 advantage of the growth of
tho industry ulmost continuously for
tho last ten years.
Tho effect of such an enlargement
In production along with a tlll 'jnoro
rapid more Important than tlmtetnolii
suits mow Important than thnt of an
Increase in tho surplus which has
leavened tho whole of tho Southern
life.
