"I gave them a written opinion in which I stated- that if they attempted to do business in the state they would be put in the penitentiary and their property absorbed in fines and penalties." This is the answer Senator Bailey says he gave the Standnrd Oil officials when they asked him about tho chances for re-entering Texas. Mr. Bailey made this statement today bofore the legisla tive investigation commission in detail ing his relations with the Standard Oil and Waters-Pierce Oil companies. The request for an opinion came, Bailey said, immediately after the Beaumont boom. Uailcy on the witness stand today denied in every detail all tho charges profcrrcd against him and stated that much of the evidence was in tho line of criticism more than facts. The commit tee itself objected to the reports in cir culation that they were in conspiracy to effect the arrest of II. Clay Pierce, which is outlined iu specials to Texas papers.

Halo replied that tho expenses of tho navy in times of peace for ammunition were large. Ho did not beliovo any considerable amount of the fund would be used on account of tho Jamestown exposition, although lie said that tho exposition seemed to bo developing into more of a military show than anything else.

W E UTILE MERCY Does not Mince Words in Quiz zing Mrs, Thaw Familiar With Details of Her Life, ADMITS RECEIVING MONEY FROM WHITE Young Woman Proves a Match for Prosecutor Jerome Is , Aided by Statements from Relatives of Witness, By Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 20. In con tinuing the cross examination of Mrs. Thaw today at the trial of her husband District Attorney Jerome brought out the fact that in 1902 Stanford White deposited $1,350 with tho New York Trust company with instructions that it should be paid to Evelyn Nesbit at the rate of $25 a week. Mrs. Thaw frankly admitted receiving a number of checks from the Trust company, but would not admit that there was a provision that she should receive the money only when out of employment. Tho prosecutor spent nearly the entire afternoon trying to make Mrs. Thaw admit this was true, but she gave one answer, "I don't re member." Mrs. Thaw's inability to remember a number of other things about which Jerome questioned her was by far the most material element in tho cross ex amination. The district attorney delved into her past life with a familiarity which at times seemed to amaze all who heard, not excepting the defend ant's counsel. No Mercy from Jerome Jerome indicated early (hat he had no disposition to spare Mrs. Thaw's feelings in any way. He interrogated her most pointedly as to her men ac quaintances of the past. Ho laid spe cial stress upon her acquaintance with James A. Garland, who figured for tho first time in the case. Mrs. Thaw said she knew Garfield before she met White. "Weren't you named as co-respondent in tho Garland divorce easel" asked Jerome. Mrs. Thaw was shaking her head whan Del mas quickly objected. He de manded that tho record of the divorce case be brought into court that it might speak for itself. Justice Fitzgerald overruled the objection, but Jerome withdrew the question. Novcr Posed in the Nude Jeromo questioned the witness about her manner of posing for artists, which brought from her a denial that she ever posed in the nude. Jeromo did not mince words. Many photographs of Mrs. Thaw were introduced in evidence. Jerome during the morning session plied the young woman with questions ns to what disposition she had made of the letters written her by White. Some, she said, had been destroyed nnd some she had given to her husband. Wheu the district attorney was press ing for an answer, Thaw leaned far over nnd whispered to his counsel: "Stanford White stole them." Attorney O'Reilly thereupon said: "Stanford White got them." Jerome Sarcastic "If counsel desires to testify we would be very glad to have him do it," Jerome remarked sarcastically. Later Jeromo indicated that he had in his possession a number of letters writ ten by White to Evelyn Nesbit, saying that ho would show her the letters to see if they would not bring aid to her memory. He changed his mind, how ever, and tho letters wero not produced. Jerome was assisted materially in the cross examination by typewritten state ments made by Mrs. Thaw 's mother and Howard Nesbit, her brother. Jerome's cross examination may re quire several days yet. He apparently intends to take cvcTy advantage of the ruling which allows a wido latitude in testing tho credibility of the witness. DelniaB, contrary to expectations, in terposed but few objections today. Mrs. Thaw seemed perfectly self possessed at every stage of tho cross examination. At times her voice trembled, but always was clear and emphatic. She fenced with the prosecutor continuously, cor rected him at times and occasionally told him his questiomTwero entirely too long to permit of proper answer. m Britisher Wins Fight By Associated Press.

Fuller, legislative representative of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Firemen nnd Trainmen, and the Order of Railway Conductors, talked tonight with President Roosevelt about the bill pending iu the house limiting to six teen hours a day's work on railroads.

ATTACK JEWS IN ODESSA STREETS Business Suspended While the Mob Rules and Police Act as Spectators By Associated Press. ODESSA, JFebruary 20. Street at tacks' by the Union of True Russians, the reactionary organization, are daily assuming a more dangerous character and have brought about conditions of extreme nervousness among the resi dents of the city, especially the Jews. Business has been adversely affected, the grain bourse has been closed and financial transtctions have been sus pended. Gangs of roughs invade shops and restaurants belonging to Jews, order the proprietors to throw up their hands and then plunder and ransack the premises. Today a Jew drew a revolver in self defense. He was immediately seized and conveyed to a deserted courtyard, where his arms and legs wree cut off. Pedestrians are stopped in broad day light and asked whether they aro Jews or Christians and sometimes are made to produce their passports. If they are fews they are brutally beaten. The police make no effort whatever to sup press the anti-Semitic disorders and fill the role of mere onlookers. Local educational institutions and commercial interests have repeatedly made requests to Premier Stolypin for official intervention, but have received nothing more than evasive, -unsatisfactory assurances that cases referred to will bo investigated. Inhabitants of the city have come to the decision to suspend business as a sign of protest until the outrages are no longer tolerated by the authorities. Both universities here and many high schools have been closed as a protest against the outrages. This evening two sailors shot and killed Captain Zolotaroff, who had ar rested some comrades who were on a strike. REVOLUTIONISTS KILLED WHILE TRYING TO ESCAPE By Associated Press.

IN ADAMS' TRIAL Insane Man Tells the Court that He Slew the Alleged Victim of Steve Adams. McPARTLAND DENIES THIRD DEGREE CHARGE Detective Says He Did not Sweat Adams to Make Him Confess Not Employed Against the Federation, By Associated Press. WALLACE, Idaho, February 20. "It is the heart that moves the hand. I am the man who killed Fred Tyler. Turn all these other fellows loose, for I am the man that done the deed." This was the announcement which startled Judge Wood's court this morn ing. A small dark stranger with long black hair and stubby beard standing up beside Steve Adams proc!aime3 him self guilty of the crime for which Adams is on trial. A commotion fol lowed. Mrs. Adams burst into tears. Adams himself turned pale. Seized by two officers, the stranger was hurried from the courtroom to the sheriff's office. There he said his name was Patrick C. Ryan of Butte; he had just nnisheU a term in the Deer Lodge penitentiary for stealing mutton and after being released, had gone to Burke, where Roosevelt's daughter told him to come to Wallace and take charge of the case. He said that if Adams were convicted an earthquake would destroy uoeur D'Alene. Kyan will bo commit ted to the asylum. Adams says he does not know the man. This morning's session of court was taken up mainly with the reading of testimony eiven bv Coroner Kees at the preliminary hearing, the attorneys hav ing agreed to this method owing to tho coroner's illness. The reading had not been concluded when court adjourned. McPartland on Stand At the trial today the feature was the evidence of Detective James Mc Partland, who testified that he has been the manager of the Pinkertons for twelve years and has been connect ed with it forty years. He has never been employed specifically against the Western Federation of Miners, he said, but instances had arisen where he had found them to commit crimes. He de nied that he had agreed with Governor Gooding and Warden Whitney to sub ject Adams to five or six days solitary confinement, that at the end of that time ho would be ready to "cough it all up." He denied that he had administered what is known as the "third degree" to Adams. The third degree means sub jection to solitary confinement and then asking and leading the prisoner to con fess. He denied that he had made any arrangements by which Adams and Or chard should be locked together aud that he had called from time to time to see what progress Orchard was mak ing towards getting Adams to corrob orate his confession. He admitted that he went to see Adams February 20, 1900, with a view to getting him fo con fess. Talked Nice to Adams He admitted that he took him to the inner room of the warden's office, gave him a cigar and told him he was a friend, and admitted telling Adams of his past history. He .admitted a lengthy dissertation to Adams on his duty to wards society, his wife, family and daughter. McPartland also admitted telling him that he was the man who "busted up" the Molly Maguires in Pennsylvania, and admitted that he re peatedly had told Adams that the "state always acted fair by those who acted fair by it." Tho witness admitted that a nice lunch had been served both and that in the afternoon he said he got Adams "mellow ripe," and had made him be lieve he would bo better off to- tell -all. He referred to the Western Federation as criminals and he said Adams seemed "to agree with him. He denied that threats had been used or inducements held out, but designated the whole transaction as a "business proposi tion." The examination was conducted in a theatrical manner by E. F. Richardson and the courthouse was packed to the doors. Thiele Corroborates C. S. Thiele confirmed the testimony of McPartland with regard tp times, nlaees and dates. Thiele denied that shortly after Adams' arrest he told him that "All you have to do is to go to Boise, do what these fellows want, and you will be all right." He denied that he had told Mrs. Adams that tney aia not shackle Steve because they did not want to make him mad but wanted to make a good impression. He admitted that there were several statements of Adams and all related to different mat ters, but all were got at the same time. During the taking of the testimony the jury was taken out of the courtroom until the relevancy of the confession can be established. But the circum stances under which it was given will be laid before them by the defense. m New Head of Reichstag By Associated Press. BERLIN, February 20.
