WASHINGTON, .February 11. Son
ator Horry of Arkapsas addressed the
senate today -in opposition to Senator
Smoot's retention of his seat.- Borry
disclaimed any political or roligious
prejudice which might contributo to his
opposition. He confined his nrgument
primarily to a discussion of the const!
tiitinnnl powor of tho senate to expel
Smoot, holding that airy senator "could
bo excluded by a majority vote of the
mombors of that body."
Mr. Borry 's opposition to Mr. Smoot
was based on tho doctrine of jHilygamy,
which ho said was advocated by the
Mormon church. It was true that Smoot
was not nor ever had been a polygam
ist, but Smoot had admitted, he said,
that tho revelations to tho early leaders
of the church not only permitted, but
Commanded, polygamy.

While Defense Produces a
Few Insanity Experts,
WIFE'S NOTE TO THAW
PRODUCED AND READ
Not the Words Supposed to
Have Contained Women
Are Barred from Courtroom
Protest fo the President,
By'Assoelntod Presq.
NEW YORK, Fobruary 11. Answer
ing a hypothotieal question covering ov
ery detail of tho testimony up to this
time in the Thaw trial, Dr. Charles G.
Wagner, superintendent of tho state
hospital for the insane at Binghamptoitj
N. Y., declared on the witness stand to
day that in his opinion Thaw did not
know that his act was wrong when he
.shot Stanford White. Dr. Wngner
stopped aside for later cross examina
tion by Jerome. As court adjourned
for tho day it was announced that the
tlefen.se would offer testimony from
other alienists tomorrow.
Dr. Wagner's opinion on the hypothet
ical question furnished a day of legal
sparring between Delmas and Jorome.
Jerome effectually blocked tho comple
tion for the timo boing-of the testimonv
of Mrs. Fvelyn 'inaw by insisting that
before she could go further compotont
testimony ns to Thaw's unsoundness of
mind should bo given.
Jorome Blocks Story
Delmas tried to enrry forward the
young wife's story, but the district ,ab
tornoy was on his feet with an objec
tion to every question.
Mra 'J haw had been recalled as the
third witness of tho dny. One of her
predecessors was J. D. Jyon, vice presi
dent of the Union National Bank of
Pittsburg, who stated that ho had re
ceived Thaw's will from the latter 'a
own hand prior to April, 1900, and he
had held it in a safe deposit box until
late in November last, when he directed
his secretary to forward it to Attorney
Glcasou of Thaw's counsel.
Tracing the Will
Glcason then swore that 'he had re
ceived the will by mail in December,
lOOG, and that absolutely no changes
had been made in the instrument while
it was in his possession. Mr. Jerome
admitted the progress of the will from
Mr. Lyon to Gleason without the neccs
sity of calling the former's secretary.
Delmas did not ofTer the will in evi
dence, however, owing to the fact that
it has not in its entirety been proved
as legally executed by Thaw.
When Mrs. Thaw was called to the
stand she was dressed precisely as whon
she occupied the witness chair last
week. As she was taking her sent At
torney Delmas turned to the district at
torney and renewed his demand of
Wednesday that the note which was
passed by Mrs. Thaw to her husband at
tho CafesMartin on tho night of the
tragedy should be produced. Jeronjp-nt
the former demand remained silent.
Produces Fatal Message
Today he at once said he would send
for tho slip of paper. It was brought
from tho ollice, identified by Mrs. Thaw
and read by Delmas as follows: "The
I) was hero a minute ago." Tho
contents of the note caused surprise on
ly as to its exact wording. It has gen
erally been supposed that the note read,
"The b is here."
"B" Stands for Blackguard
Mrs. Thaw testified today that "b"
meant "blackguard," as Thaw always
thus roferred to White. Another essen
tial point Mrs. Thaw was allowed to
bring out was a statement that the dc
fondant never carried a pistol except
in New York. She wns asked many
other questions embodying tho vnrious
stories she had discussed with Thaw, in
eluding the alleged fate of tho girl
known to them as tho "pie girl," at
the hands of White, but Mr. Jerome
blocked the questions with sustained ob
jections.
Jcromo Blocks Expert
Compelling tho dofenso to begin its
expert testimony as to Thaw's insnnity
by his objections, Mr. Jcromo next pro
ceeded to block tho testimony of Dr.
Wagner as to tho results of his six
visits to tho dofendant in the Tombs
and his tests ns to the mental condition.
Dr. Wagner was not allowed to go into
tho conversation ho -had with tho do
fendnnt nor the conclusions ho had
reached from tho conversation. He was
confined to what ho had actually ob
served and he declared his observations
woro so closely interlaced with his ques
tioning of tho dofendant that ho did
not know whether he could separate
them. Delmas finally withdrow many
of the questions ns to tho testimony.
Eccord Breaking Question
Ho contented himself with asking Dr.
Wagner to give his opinion of the hypo
thetical question covoring the evidence
in the case. The question was almost
record-breaking in its length, being a
comprehensive resume of tho entire
case, including Mrs. Thaw's personal
narrative. Jn it Mr. JDolmas accused
White of having "drugged" Miss Ncs
bit and of having attempted to ronow
his "communication or relations" with
her subsequent to her marriage. Mr.
Jerome objected to those features and
it was amended to embrace tho evidence
of record as to the disputed points.
No More Women
Dr. Hvnns of the Now Jeresy state
hospital for tho insano will bo the first
witness fjor the dofenso tomorrow A
new rule by Justice Fitzgerald barring
from tho courtroom all women not en
gaged in active nowspaper work went
into effect today. Many of those who,
bedecked in gala costumes, had occupied
front seats heretofore, were on hand
early this morning, but to no avail.
Tho court oflicors had direct orders this
time and oboyed them. As a result,
thoro woro' mnny empty benches in tho
courtroom all dny.
Would Bar Newspapers
WASHINGTON, February 11. Pros
ident Boosevelt has received a number
of protests from persons who think that
newspapers printing the full details of
tho Thaw case should be prohibited
transmission through tho mails. Ono of
these was a long telegraphic protest
from a newspaper, the name of which
was not given. A recent discussion of
the question in Canada, notably in tho
Canadian parliament, and tho statement
of the postmaster general at Ottawa,
that any newspapers publishing such
evidence as given in the Thaw case
Thursday would be guilty of a misde
meanor under Canadiau law wus also
brought to the attention of tho presi
dent. FEDERAL COURT

After Long Confab at White
House, 'chmitz Announces
Concessions Must Be Made,
SCHOOL QUESTION
NOT THE VITAL ONE
What Californians Want Is Ex
clusion of Japanese Coolies
Meeting Today Will Prob
ably End the Affair,
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, February 11. As a
result of an hour's conference at the
White House this afternoon, at which
President Roosevelt, Secretary Root,
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco and
members of the school board of that-
city participated, Schmitz late tonight
made a statement summarizing the sit
uation. Wheu asked whether tho prop
osition submitted by the San Francisco
delegation called for the exclusion of
Japanese coolie Inbor from this coun
try, Schmitz replied:
' ' We are not making a treaty and
are not discussing with tho president
the question of excluding the Japanese
from this country by treaty. S-iturday
ue heard tho president's views and to
day we gave our side of tho question.
It now remains for us to modify our
iews in order to reach an agreement
with the president or for Roosevelt to
modify his views to reach an agree
ment with the United States. Today's
conference adjourned subject to call of
the president and I do not believe we
shall be called to tho White House
again until Thursday or Friday.'?
JMay Bo Settled Today
It has been agreed that tho whole
matter will bo considered at another
meeting tomorrow. Schmitz declined
to state whether the question of exclud
ing the Japanese coolies by legislation
formed a part of the proposition which
was submitted today in writing. Schmitz
and other members of the San Fran
cisco delegation have received hundreds
of telegrams urging the advocacy of a
treaty excluding Japanese laborers and
legislation by congress to carry out the
provisions of this treaty.
The mayor has admitted to members
of the California delegation in con
gress that while he is very anxious to
reach a satisfactory agreement with the
president and stands willing to make
any concessions that will bo for tho
good of the whole country yet ho hesi
tates to make any agreement that will
not meet with the approval of Califor
nia. The private dispatches from the
coast have in all instances indicated
the wide interest of the people there.
President Appeals to Mayor
It can be stated that the president
has appealed to Schmitz and his asso
ciates to bring the anti-Japanese agi
tation to an end by rescinding the order
for oriental schools. Under tho Cali
fornia law the question of separate
schools is, left to the discretion of the
school authorities and before the earth
quake disaster the Japanese wore ad
mitted to white schools.
Schmitz declared that the only rea
son for establishing separate schools
was because the Japanese wero crowd
ing the whites out in certain districts.
When asked as to tho general tone of
the telegrams received from San Fran
cisco, Schmitz said: "Tho people of
California do not give a rap about the
school question; they aro opposed to
thc-admissioii of Japanese coolies into
this country."
Will Not Talk So Much
Members of tho California delegation
in congress tonight expressed ignorance
of the basis of settlement. Tho wide
spread newspaper commont was depre
cated and tho conforenco and partici
pants pledged .themselves anew to re
frain from statements until somo Con
clusions have ben reached. The San
Francisco delegation has agreed that all
statements for publication must come
from Schmitz while acting as spokes
man for the delegation. As the Cali
forninns were leaving tho White House
this afternoon the mayor was asked if
a copy of a Japanese treaty on tho
exclusion of laborors from that country
had been exhibited, but Schmitz replied
that he had not seen anything of the
sort.
Secrotary Loeb announced that there
will be no statement from the White
House. Secretary Root remained with
the president for some timo after the
Californians loft and townrds nightfall
took a long walk with him.
