My Associated Pres.
HW YOUK, Match ,1,. An unusual
sctjno was enacted on the tloor of tho
stock I'.xuhange today just after the

sharp contrast with tho demoralization
of yesterday. Brokers gathered around
the trading jxists and cheered loudly iu
their relief. Tho feature of the day
was the statomont of William Hockofol
lor, who said:
"Tho decline of prices yesterday it
to mo, with ptoapority all over the
country, a mystery. 1 sqo no reason
for it. I and my associates have been
buyors, not sellers, during tho last ten
day;. People who are throwing awa
wuritios at panic prices will regret it
within six months."
Today's market oponed very strong
and at much higher prices than yos
torday's "closing figures. Thore wore
tho usual reactions, but the tone lu;U!
relatively strong, it became" known in
the maikct and among bankers who
reached their oflicos early that a euro
fill investigation of the situation did
not show any result of the anxiety as
to tho solvency of any banking or
brnkorngo house. This knowledge had
much affect on tho market, Jogothei
with the announcement of government
relief for the money situation and gae
traders confidence that the market wa
threatened with no grave danger. Trad

LITTLE GIRL
T
Falls into Old Dominion Flume
and Is Carried 1 00 Feet
Skull Fractured
While at play yesterday afternoon
a torriblo accident befell tho -year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. II Sal-
laday, who reside opposite NT. S. Berray
on Buffalo hill, aud it is very doubtful
if she will recover. With other children
she was playing in tho rear of the
house at tho ilumo which carries down
tho water from tho Old Dominion shaft
aud in some manner she fell into the
flume. Her littlo biother tried to iescue
her boforo tho water carried her down,
and succeeded in grabbing a part of her
dress, but the. wator. though not deep,
goes down tho ilumo at a terrific rate
and tho part of her dress in the hands
of tho littlo boy Has torn ftom the
child. Sho was carried down tho ilume
for about a bundled feet to where it
empties and then cast on tho ground
twenty feet bolow.
Tho alarm was immediately given
and whon tho littlo gill was found un
conscious and bleeding fioni a number
of wounds, Dr. Holt of tho Old Domin
ion staff was immediately notified. On
examination it was found thnt tho littlo
girl's skull wns fractured whoro sho
struck tho ground on her forehead, her
nose brokon and left log frncture'd. Her
face was alfo badly lacorated. It wns
a miracle that she was not instantly
killed. Tho littlo victim was taken to
tho Old Dominion hospital, where her
injuries woro dressed and the fractures
reduced. The physicians give but slight
hope of her recovory.

Lawyeis' Story as to Evelyn
Nesbit's Affidavit of Thaw's
Cruelty Is Finally Told,
JEROME'S STAR WITNESS
CONTRADICTS HIMSELF
Tells Two Wholly Different Sto
ries of the Affidavit Signing
-Delmas Gets Personal
Experts Conclude Testimony
By Associated Press.
NBW VOKK, March Jw. With Del
mas fighting every inch of tho way,
Torolno today secured from Abraham
Hummel tho complete story as to the
affidavit it is alleged that Kelyn Thaw
made in his oflico charging Thnw with
floating hor when sho bad told faint that
the stntcniont thnt White liad drugged
and ruined hor was not true. Delmas
fust objected broadly to all of Hum
niol's testimony but later offered
specific objection to each question put
by tho prosecutor, .lustice Fitgerald
overruled every objection and Dolmas
niade exceptions.
Kvelyn Thaw was called to tho stand
in an effort to keep Hummel silent. She
declared that she called UHn Hummel
in a professional capacity, .lustice Fitz
.gerald declared that admitting the
proposition of counsel and client, Mrs.
Thaw hud waived piofossionnl privilege
py taking the stand early in the case
aud giving her version of what had
transpired at Hummers oflico. The
bond of acctecy between counsel and
client once removed could not be re
established.
Admits to Indictments
Unsuccessful in blocking Hummel 'c
testimony, Delmas on cross examination
brought from his own lips the fact that
he had been convicted on a charge of
conspiracy iu the same courtroom in
which Thaw is being tried. He further
admitted to two indictments for subor
nation of perjury pending against him,
and that one of these indictment
eliarges him with having false affidavit
made.
Toronto piotested against tho witness
boing dragged through the "humiliating
details" of the trial, but Justice Fitz
gerald declined to interfere. Tfaon Del
mas asked Hummel if he had not beard
the speech made by Jerome when sen
tence was about to be imposed and
when Jerome urged the court to pas
the-longest and heaviest sentence with
in his power on Hummel, as "ho had
been a menace to the community foi
tw ent years." Justice Fitzgerald
finally sustained the objection and Hum
mol was not compelled to answer.
Tells of Affidavit
Hummel 's testimony wns to the of
foot that Kvelyn Xesbit had told him
that Thaw had beaten her when she
refused to sign papers he had prepared
charging White witn her betrayal; that
he had dictated the statement to a sten
ographer in the presence of Miss Xes
bit and White; tha.t no gave the afli
davit to two clerics to take to Miss
Xosbit in the Madison Square towei
and that tho next day the paper war
returned to him with Kvelyn Xcshit '
signature attached.
" If? kept the affidavit until Miss Nes
bit cnlled""biie day and demanded it.
He refused to give it to her and turned
it over to White, advising him to have
a photographic copy made. Hummel
first said that he himself bad arranged
for photogiaphing the affidavit -and thai
the pho'ttographor came to his oflico.
Later he completely contradicted hint
self on this point, saying that ho did
not make the arrangements, that the
photographer did not come to his of
fice and that he had not m testified.
Hasn't Seen It SInco
White returned tho ou'ginal affidavit
to Hummel, who sworo today that he
subsequently delivered tho original nffi
davit to Miss Xesbtt and, has not seen
it since.
Abraham Sncidickor, one of Hum
inel's clerks, said that he took tho affi
davit to White's tooins and handed it
to a woman pointed out to him as Miss
Xesbit. Sho kept the affidavit for fivo
minutes, then signed it, saying sho had
read it through.
At the conclusion of the testimony
Jorome asked permission to introduce
a carbon and a photographic copy of
the affidavit in evidence it was near
closing time and Delmas asked that ad
journment be taken boforo arguing as
to the admissibility of the affidavit.
He said that after reading tho paper
over ho might noU object to its boing
offered in evidence.
May Want It in Evidenre
"Coming as it does," ho added, "in
such questionable shapo, we may deem
it best to liavo tho paper in evidence "
Jeromo complotod his modicnl testi

to cross oxamino any of tho oxperts.

WASHINGTON, March 15. That
Senator Fornker is gathering evidence
at his own expense in the defense of
former negro solefiers who were dis
charged from the army for alleged com
plicity in the "shooting up" of Browns
ille1, was disclosed today in a sharp
clash between members of the senate
committee on military affairs, which is
investigating the affray.
Sonntors Overman, Foster and War
ner had plied n number of witnesses
with questions as to whom they had

that tlie'y had been interviewed by a
man named Ferguson as to what they
knew concerning tho Brownsvillo af
fair, lmt none of thorn could saj
whether he was a white man or a no
gro and disclaimed knowledge as to
Ferguson's connection with the inVcs
tigation. Tin's form of questioning was
pursued when Corporal John L. Bum
mel, a cook of company M, Twetite
sixth infantry, was recalled today for
cross examination. During the inquiry
Senator Foraker interrupted by saying
"Ferguson wont to Fort Sam Houston
at my expense. T received an anony
limits lotter giving the names of several
persons said to have information that
might be of valuo in this inquiry nnd
f sent Ferguson to find out what they
know."
Didn't Mean to Offend
Watnor, Overman and Foster has
tenod to assure Foraker that tliey had
no criticism to offer of the course he
pursued nnd explanation wns made that
since it had been indicnted that the
Constitutional League had secuicd ulli
davits from men which tho same men
denied on the stand, the examination
hero wns fo determine whethor Fergu
son was a representative of that league.
Assurance was given by Forakor that
Ferguson had no connection with the
Constitutional Leaguo and Overman
said laughingly:
"Well, is ho a n-gger or a white
man!"
"I don't know; I think ho is a mul

By Associated Press.
OUTIIRIE, Okla., March 15. Tho
only state constitution to be produced
under modern conditions that intended
for the proposed stnto of Oklahoma
has finally been drafted here.
The constitutional convention finished
its work today and adjourned after hav
ing been iu session 115 days. Tho con
stitution will be submitted to the people
of the two territories at a special elec
tion August (i. One of the last acts
of the convention was to appoint a com
mittee to solicit funds to pay tho ex
ponses of tho election, the convention
Having exhausted practically all the
money appropriated by congress.
Mostly Democratic
The convention was overwhelmingly
Democratic, being composed of one hun
dred Democrats and twelve Republic
ans. Probably tho most important
measure killed by the convention was
tho provision for separate conches for
whites and negroes, which tho Demo
crats had been pledged to insert. Sov
oral delegates alleged on tho floor that
Koosevelt would reject the constitution
if the Jim Crow proposition was adopt
ed. Woman suffrage was' defeated by
a few votes.
The initiative and referendum, pat
tdrned after the Oregon lnw, was adopt
ed, as was tho provision providing for
tho nomination of nil stato oflicers and
United Slates senators by primaries.
Succession in state offices is prohibit
ed. Strongly Prohibition
Oklahoma will be a Prohibition state
with the most stringent liquor law in
existence, prohibiting not only the sale
but tho introduction or liquor into tho
gfate being provided against. Tho en
abling act provided that Indian Terri
tory must accept prohibition for twenty-onoe-ycars.
The contention provided
thnt tho whole stateshall voto on the
question and thero is no doubt that the
terms of tho ennbling act will be made
uniform over tho whole state.
Provision is made for a state rail
way commission, to bo elective, and a
two-cent passenger fare.
Railway companies arc prohibited
from owning any productive ngency of
natutal commodity, the provision being
particularly intended to cover coal
lands. Ooqiorations are prohibited from
owning more land than is absolutely
necessary in the operation of their busi
ness. The issuance of watered stock is pro
liibited and books of all corporations
are made subject to examination at all
times.
Organization of corporations to deal
in real estate outside of incorporated
cities is prohibited.

EXCLUDE INDUSTRIALS
FedefrationOrganizerTalks and
Industrials Say Citizens' Ac
tion Is Masked. Attack on.AII
Organized Labor,
By Associated Press.
GOLDFIELD, Nov., Marcli 15. To
night there is an armed truce iu Gold
field, neither tho citizens or the offi
cers of the Industrial Workers of the
World making an active move. Tho
town is very peaceable and is being
patrolled by deputy sheriffs and con
stables numbering a hundred. " This' af
ternoon the citizens' committee an
nounced that all the merchants in the
city had agreed to exclude members of
the Industrial Workers of the World
from their employ. This means that all
stores will remain closed at the will
of tho committee, which may permit
the reopening of butcher shops for a
time tomorrow.
Grant Hamilton, organizer of the
American Federation of Labor, who is
in Goldficld at the behest of the citi
zens, said this evening that in a short
time the clerks will bo organized under
the American Federation of Labor char
ter. The storm will then reopen.
The citizens' committee adopted a
resolution this afternoon that it is "un
alterably opposed to any and all acts
of violence; to any deportation of any
body, and it will use its utmost efforts
to punish anyone committing the
same. ' '
Strife Between Organizations
"Labor difficulties in Goldfiold,"
said Hamilton, "are not between the
employer and employee, but between
the recently organized-Industrial Work
ers of tho World and the American Fed
eration of Labor. No wage question' is
involveel. Representatives of the for
mer faavo demanded tfaat tho latter join
the Industrial Workers of the World
or be declared unfair. If they did so
tfao members of the American Federa
tion would become 'scabs against their
organization, they would be unable -to
secure employment elsewhero thau
where tho Industrial Workers of the
World are recognized. I predict that
there will be such a settlement of the
situation in Goldficld that will convince
tho pcoplo of the United States that
American manhood exists here and that
it docs not fear to assert itself." ( .
On the other hand, the officers of the
Industrial Workers of the World aver
that tbo action of the citizens' commit
teo is. merely a mask to hide a .seca-et
movement against organized labor.
