LOTTERY PROSECUTIONS.
General W. L. Cabell and Other Alleg-
ed Officers of Honduras Lottery
Under Indictment.
NEW ORLEANS, La., Fob. 16.-
Charged with being connected with the
Honduras Lottery Company, E. J. Doma-
rest, W. J. Demarcst and C. W. Bredow

£2PJ^J8*loner Chiapellti and furnished
$100,000 bond each. The hearing was set
for next Monday.
Gen. W. Cabell, for whose arrest a
warrant was issued in Mobile, some time
ago, and reissued here, was a soldier in
the Confederate Army during the Civil
War, having reached the grade of Briga-
dier General. For the past several years
he is supposed to have been identified
with the Honduras lottery in an execu-
tive capacity.
Jt Is now said that the warrant may
be served on him In his Texas home.
THE LIE PASSED AT GUTHRIE.
Delegates to Constitutional Convention
Have Personal Encounter.
GUTHRIE. Ok la., Feb. 16.—-The lie was
passed between Delegates Baker and Has-
kell, and a personal encounter between
the two members etUivened the proceed-
ing of the Constitutional convention to-
day. In the debate over the adoption of
the railroad report Delegate Baker ac-
cused- Delegate Haskell of being a rail-
road' representative.
"You're a contemptible liar," shouted
Haskell.
"You are a liar, too," shouted Baker.
A* this point Haskell picked up a
heavy paper weight and hurled it at
Baker, who dodged and replied with an
ink stand.
Instantly there was an uproar on the
floor and in the galleries, and it was
necessary for the sergeant-at-arms and
his assistants to interfere to restore or-
der.

DOUBLE TASK OF
THAW'S ATTORNEYS
FOR COMING WEEK
Trial Will Be Resumed Monday
in Attempt to Show Defendant
Was Temporarily Insane.
EVELYN NESBIT THAW
MAY BE RECALLED FIRST
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Tho trial of
Harry K. Thaw will be resumed before
Justice Fitzgerald on Monday morning
at 10:30 o'clock.
Funeral services were held today for
the wife of Juror Joseph B. Bolton, and it
was afterwards that the juryman had
expressed his willingness to again take
his place in the Thaw panel and continue
the trial. Mr. Bolton feels it is a con-
scientious duty before him to hear the
trial to the end. If Mr. Bolton had drop-
ped out it would have meant the loss of
many thousands of dollars to the State
and to the Thaw family. A dismissal
would hfave had to be declared, and four
weeks of the court's time would have
been wasted.
Aside from the routine expense of juror
and witness fees, the Thaw trial is cost-
ing the State a sum almost equal to that
which is being spent by the defendant's
family in the attempt to prove the young
man was insane when he shot White.
Explosive Insanity.
The defense will continue in its en
deavor to show that while Thaw was ex-
plosively insane at the time he killed
White, and while the effect of the "brain
storm" were apparent in him for three
months followiug the homicide, his im-
provement has been so great and pro-
gressive since Oct. 1, that he is today of
perfectly sound mind and even tempera-
ment.
Dr. Charles G. Wagner and Dr. B. D.
Evans, the two alienists who have of-
fered evidence as to Thaw's state of mind
at the time of the homicide, have yet to
be cross examined by Mr. Jerome.
If, after the cross examination of Dr.
Evans and L)r. Wagner, the reasonable
doubt as to Thaw's soundness of mind on
June 25 last still exists the defense will
try to show that Thaw at the present
time is sane and entitled to absolute
freedom. This is believed by many to
be the most difficult part of the task
still confronting the defendant's attor-
neys.
Dr. G. M. Hammond, who has been
constantly beside the prisoner since the
trial began, is expected to testify as to
Thaw's present sanity.
It was intimated today that Dr. Evans
may be immediately withdrawn Monday
to allow Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw to
take the stand.

PACKING COMPANIES
WILL LEASE WIRES
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 16.—The Interstate
Commerce Commission Is to investigate
the relationship between the Western Un-
ion and the Postal Telegraph Companies
on one side and the packing houses, grain
firms and other business houses through-
out the country who have heretofore had
special telegraphic wires and special op-
erators furnished them. This morning all
wires of this description were discontin-
ued, and only pony wires running from
these offices into the main offices were
left.
The operators manning the wires from
the packing house, end are now employed
by the packing houses and not by the
telegraph companies. The Interstate
Commerce Commission is said to have
taken the position that furnishing these
large customers of the telegraph compa-
nies is a discrimination, and an investi-
gation Is demanded.
In the packing houses of South Omaha
this morning every through wire which is
not actually leased to the packing houses
was put out of commission and the pack-
ing houses forced to have their telegrams
relayed at the. main offices. Similar ac-
tion has been taken at all business houses
which had been furnished, with through
wires for their busines.
F. A. Cudahy of the Cudaliy Packing
Company said: "The only effect of the
new order is that we will be compelled to
lense our wires instead of simply sending
telegrams at commercial rates over wires
furnished by the telegraph companies.
AH the packers will probably lease 7iew
wires today and have full use of them.
The operators will be packing house em-
ployes instead of telegraph company en-
ployes.".

AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 16.—At a confer-
ence this afternoon attended by J. D.
Johnson, general attorney for the
Waters-Pi'»rce Oil Company, Judge Poin-
dexter and Mr. Wolfe, Mr. Johnson said
he would advise H. Clay Pierce not to
meet the sub-committee in St. Louis.
The result of the conference is that
the St. Louis trip is practically an im-
possibility but a further conference will
be held tomorrow afternoon at which
time arrangements may be made for
meeting the sub-committee on som-)
"neutral" ground. It is possible that the
sub-committee may go to Now York but
no arrangement to that effcct has been
made.
The reason given by Mr. Jchnson for
having Mr. Pierce stay away from St.
Louis is that he says, there is a well
founded rumor to the effect that ihe
Texas authorities are wriiting. for an op-
