NEW YORK, March 4. Harry Thaw spent an uneventful day at the Tombs yesterday, arising about the usual time and devoting a great deal of the day to reading the Sunday papers. He received no visits from members of his family, nor from his counsel, and. Instead of attending religious services, remained in his cell. Members of the family and the attorneys are annoyed by the statements of the newspapers, which grasp at anything and print It, without waiting to verify or confirm. One paper yesterday morning printed a story to the effect that Thaw had abused his wife when she called on him, and that he had kicked a messenger who called the theatrical manner of the killing. Jerome then unsuccessfully tried to make Evans admit that the words uttered by Thaw after the shooting Indicated sanity. Evans evaded a direct answer to all He said Thaws statement Questions to the effect that White had ruined his wife indicated that the defendant's mind was weighted down by the thought that ho (White) had pursued him (Thtr) so long and waa the cause of his wife's debauchery. Jerome concluded the cross --examlna. tlon of Dr. Evans at 12 o'clock and Dr. Wagner waa then called for cross-examinati- I i The sum total of the admissions Jerome was able to secure from Evans was: "That at the time he shot White, Thaw waa suffering from one of the insanities of adolescence; that it Is possible that he had an insane knowledge of his actions.'

The witness waa unwilling to definitely state the form of Insanity from which Thaw waa suffering when he shot White. Jerome Scores a Point. Jerome scored a strong point this afternoon when he forced from Dr. Wagner the admission that the manifestation of insanity shown by Thaw in IMS was identical with that of 105. If this Is uncontradicted It goes to show that Thaw la permanently insane. cross-examinat- ion Latest photograph of Mice Mae McKenile, the chorua girl friend of Mrs. Harry Thaw, wno since the opening of tne trial of Harry Thaw has been a striking figure in the New York court room.

A report to the effect that Thaw's mother would take the stand this morning was the reason why the court room as crowded with morbid curiosity cekera, all anxious that their ears hould catch something sensational nd dirty. They were disappointed, however, for instead of Mrs. Thaw, Dr. Britton D. Evans was recalled. Owing to some delay In the court, caused by the ' preparation for the March grand to commence work, Jury the examination of the witness did not commence until some time after the witness took the stand, and as a result, ne amount of testimony at the morning session was very limited.

The friends of the new secretary are not so secretive, and declare that he will shortly bring about a decided change that will not tend to make him highly popular with the Wall Street financiers. The liberal policy of Secretary Shaw in tendering first aid to injured bankers during periods of financial depression on "the street Is said by Cortelyou's friends to be at an end. Certain it la that Mr. Shaw smashed all preJous records of the treasury department by the loaning of government money to national banks. While hls services were highly appreciated by the "interests, they failed to meet with the approval of the smaller bankers and the general pub lie, and it ia more than rumored that the discontent caused uy this policy led to hls resignation. Another reform which Mr. Cortelyou la expected . to undertake Is that of stopping leaks In the department, whereby persons high In the financial world have been enable to secure advance Information of Important fiscal projec ts, much to their profit and to the disgrace of the administration Every effort will be made to discover the Identity of employes who have "leaked Information, and they will be summarily dismissed. Garfield Succeeds Hitchcock. The retirement of Ethan Allen Hitchcock from the . interior department marks the passing of the most uiijxip-ula- r man in the public service. All over the country the policy of Mr. Hitchcock has been severely criticised, and this spirit of condemnation has often spread to members of congress. Mr. Hitchcock has not lacked for defenders, however, hls friends declaring that hls critics were mainly land thieves and grafters who hated him because of hls unwavering defense of the interests of the government and the rights of the redskins who were hls wards. In any event, the enemies of Hitchcock have at last succeeded In their long effort to drive him from the cabinet. Mr. Hitchcock is now 72 years of age, while hls successor, James R. Garfield, Is thirty years younger. The latter will need all the years presumably allotted to him if he succeeds in settling satisfactorily to all concerned the problems of administration which now confront him. The Roosevelt policy concerning Indian lands and western forest reserves has met with determined opposition on the part of the white settlers and cattlemen, and Mr. Garfield will need all hls Ingenuity and ability to save the west to the Republicans. That Mr. Garfield is the right man In the right place, and that he possesses the attributes necessary to bring about peace among the warring Interests Is the firm belief of all who know him.
