Harry Thaw spent a restless night in the Tombs, but, according to the attendants, slept three or four hoars. He was up early and spent considerable time looking through the newspapers. Reporters who sent up a note to him received the reply that he had Nothing to say Just at thla time. To a question from one of the newspaper men, asking what lawyer they should see to obuln Information regarding a second trial, he replied that he did not care to say until he had oouaulted with his family. Ilia mother and wife are expected at the Tombs during the day. Tbs first question to be decided by the Thaw aide Is that of applying tor the re leave of the defendant on ball District Attorney Jerome hen said that a second trial can hardly be reached before October or November, and. It will be urged. It will be a great hardship to keep Thaw In prison during the months of walling when hi family stands ready to furnish surety In ample sum te Insure his presence whenever the second trial la to be held. If thla application la made, however. It will be strongly opposed by Mr. Jerome who 'holds that Thaw should remain ln the Tombs like any other person ln similar circumstance. That seven of the juror regarded Thaw aa sane and believed that hla act was one of deliberation and premeditation, in spite of the testimony of the experts, Mr. Jerome takes as holding him strictly to the duty of pressing again tor a conviction of murder ln the first degree. Various rumors are In circulation that there will be a new alignment of eounael for Thaw and that there of former might be a Judge W. H. K. Oloolt, who wee originally retained and who withdrew rather than agree to submit any defense except that at insanity. Delphla M. Delmaa, however, denied that he had withdrawn from cnee or had been superceded. He wee the first caller Thaw had at the Tombs today. I want to say to the newspaper men said he, that I am still to Harry Thaw's counsel. I am going see him now and 1 may have a atato-men- t to make later. Mr. Delmaa declined to aey whether Thaw had summoned him, or if he had eome at the request of Mrs. William ut Thaw. Further details of Incidents which occurred daring tbo long session of the jurors continued to filter their wey into publicity today. One of the juror Is quoted so saying that when the jury was returning to the criminal court building, after breakfast Thursday, a policeman approached them and poke to three of the jurors. I thought I would let you know confidentially, the poltoeman Is alleged to have said, "that the defendants father was a member of a certain secret order. I understand that you are members of It. ' The same Juror, la telling of the first open break among the twelve men who had Thaw's fate In their hands, said that trouble arose during the eeriy morning of Thursday when Juror Pfaff, who stood out for conviction from the first, made some remarks which were resented by the four men who had' voted tor acquittal While they were at breakfast that day, Juror Steels approached Pfaff and old: You owe me an apology, sir. "Indeed I do not, was the reply. You abused me, said Steele. 1 think you are very much mistaken. 1 abused nobody. Then dont let me hear yon talk like that again. Pardon me, sir. bat I shall repeat what I said as often aa I choose. Neither yon nor any other man can atop me. "Well let me tell you that if yon head off. and do. I'll punch your Steele shook hie clenched fist In Pfiff'e face. Other Jurors Interfered and prevented further trouble. Mra. Evelyn Thaw reached the Tombs while Mr. Delmaa was there ln consultation with her husband. The three talked together for more than sU hour and Mr. Dolmas left the bulld-ln- g.

Mrs. Thaw looked very pale and worn today. 8he said she intended to remain with her husband until sbs was compelled to go at the end of the regulation visitors' hours. Tht other members of the Thaw family remained closely ln their rooms, denying themselves to callers and declining to receive communication of any kind. An unique feature of the case, end one which has caused considerable discussion ln legal circles today. Is the publication of a signed article by one of the Jurora giving a complete history of the deliberations In the Jury room. This is said to be the first time such a thing has ever occurred In this Jurisdiction. As n rule the Juries In greet criminal rases have considered their deliberations as seo-re- t and confidential. The story written by one of the Jurors throes eome interesting sidelights on the Jury room procedure. According to this account, when they retired after tha Judge's charge, they gathered about the big table in the center of the room end engaged In prayer. The discussion wm largely in the nature of e formal debate end each speaker, after securing recognition was permitted to proceed with his remarks without interruption. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw broke down completely while taking leave of her husband. They were standing before the door of Thaw's cell talking when the young woman hurled her face In her hands and began to aob. Thaw tried to comfort her but aha could not com tool her emotions. As she was leaving the prison she was asked If It was true that she wee going out of the city for a time to recover from the effects of the lung strain. "No. If Is not true. I am going to stay right In the elty where I belong, so ee to be near my husband, ahe replied. It wa reported today that eounael for Thaw will goon apply to a New York state supreme court Justice, outside of New York county, for a writ of habeas corpus for Thaw and that they will use that action as a basis for a mo i ion that Thaw be admitted to balL Before leaving for hla Lakeville, Oonn., home today. District Attorney Jerome aald: If there la any application made by counsel of the defendant for ball, I shall oppose It strenuously. Mr. Jerome denied a rumor to tha effect that be had made an agreement with Thaw's counsel to have the prisoner declared Insane and sent to Mattes wan or to e sanitarium to be named by the court. He Mid he will use every effort to have Thaw brought to trial again and will press for a conviction of murder In the first degree.

Thla minmlltee, it waa Mid. had not forwardod an invitation. There are two known parties in the club, one favoring Mr. Bryan and the oerond ophim. posing The principal speaker at the Democratic dub banquet was. Senator Rayner of Maryland. He rex ponded. to the toast, Whet ahould be the proper policy of the Democratic party and what i tree Democracy?" lie waa listened to Intensely by several hundred guest i. I do not accede to the view that the parties have coalesced, aald Senator Rayner. On the contrary, I believe that they are ns widely spsH as they have ever bean. The president will not have a permanent tenure of office. One prediction can he Mfrljr made, and that la when the Republican party hM another candidate, and It Is bound to have one at some day of another. It will gradually drift away from a great many of hta plans s nd purposes, and It. will resume at Us ulil stand. Then It will be necessary for us to come bark to nur old principles, unless. In the meantime we have so disfigured them thst we will not he able to recognise them or to find them. We are charged. he continued, with ad vocal lug a doctrine of stoles rights that would tend to sullfy the powers of the federal government. Thin ! an erroneous and unjust view of the ellustlon. The doctrine of states rights now does not mean what It did n hair of century ego, fur the simple reason that since that time new amendments have been added to the constitution of the United Riales and for the further reason that as the result of the Civil war. and of the adjudication of the enpreme court a great many of the rights that were considered as belonging to the states at that time have passed Into the What realm of federal Jurisdiction. we mean now by the rights of the states la that the federal government should not legislate upon matters purely of locsl and domestic ooncern, and by unlawful construction Interpolate inch a power Into the provision of the constitution. In the next place, we are opposed to governmental paternalism. I predict, with great respect to others who may differ with me. that the day will never come when the government uf the United State will own and operate the railroads of the country. We do not went to own them. We own enough now. We had belter eel some thlnge we have than enlarge our holdings. I have studied the question of governmental ownership of railroad In other countries carefully; and my concluftion D that It la. a failure from a political or commercial standpoint wherever It exist. Of course I may be mistaken and everyone D entitled to hla opinion; hut I regard the governmental ownership of railroads as a vision and a phantom. Laying aside (be legal difficulties thst larrnund the subject, I cannot look upon the scheme In this country aa practical of feasible; nor do I believe that the Democratic platform will cun lain any provision holding out the hope of such an undertaka, Di-d- busl-ni-n- ing. to oM4-enr-e statute. The railroad presidents and officers of our Ute existing trunk llnej must be mads, once end forever, to realise that they era the servant and aot Ute masters at the people. Govern mental ownership will sever to pane unless they fore the leaps. They are Ihe real agitators, and 1 would kindly warn them to further desist from pursuing the tricks and mysteries that have now been Did bare before the gna of the American people. 'There te another proposition that the Democratic party must maintain unless It hM drifted away salirely from its anchorage, and that ta that this Is mg aa executive government; that the goveramentnl distribution provided for in the constitution must be preserve-1- ; and that the president of th United Stales, ta whatever party he may belong, mast aot exceed the functions of hie office end encroach upon the remaining departments of tha government. 1 have aald ever end over again that 1 recognise the great and reeouroes of the president, hla commanding ability, hla lateaM and ardent patriotism, the marvelous s dooms of his undertakings, and hla phenomenal popularity with tha people, but the fear that possaeese me le that eome feeble successor in either party may have less ability and patriotism than hs hM may Ignore thee fundamental distinctions and attempt to divert our institutions from tbo plans set purposes of thatr creation."

I would, of course, Incorporate a plank for a low tariff and for commereiai reciprocity with the trading nations at the world. I would then, add a plank declaring that there le no each thing as an unwritten oonsUtuthm of the United States; that IT it requires change it niut be amended, noth by Secretary Root, bnt by the suffrages of the pimple; end that it le a treasonable act to Insert Into It, whether ' by Judicial construction or otherwise, any power er grant that Is ant confined d within the authority and limit ntioM of the instrument.. In obedience to t! constitution I would then unequivocally declare for the supremacy of the states, and not yield the Miallesl portion of their soverand eign rights over matters of local with-In domestic concern thst lie clearly their province and their Jurlsdtc- tlon. I would then explicitly announce that the Democratic party is In favor of the. strict end Impartial enforcement uf every federal enact-meupon the statute book, end that' (he greatest and the more powerful (he criminal who violates it the more ; severe should be the penalties that ought to be visited upon him.
