New York.--Another tragic chapter In the history of the Thaw-White epi­ sode was written Thursday when death stepped in to halt the famous trial in its fourth week. The wife of juror No. 11, Mrs. Joseph B. Bolton, passed away in the afternoon soon after her husband had reached her bedside. He had been Summoned from the courtroom where the trial had been in progress for less than 15 minutes. The .formal announcement of Mrs. Bolton's death from pneumonia was made in feourt shortly after two p. m., the. hour set for the afternoon ses­ sion, and Justice Fitzgerald immedi- time of the doctor's first three visiti to him, the last being on September 22.

Capfc Ricketts, of the court police squad, was seen to whisper to Justice Pita-; gerald. Bolton seemed to divine hit mission and moved uneasily in hi* chair.

The death of Juror Bolton's wife east a gloom over the criminal court building and had a particularly de­ pressing effect upon everyone con­ nected with the trial. The prisoner seemed to feel the matter quite keen­ ly when he was brought into court in the afternoon to hear the formal an­ nouncement of the order for a post­ ponement of his further hearing. The fact that the Thaw jurors have been kept in close confinement since they were selected for jury service and that Mr. Bolton had been allowed to visit his home only three times during his wife's fatal illness, lent a pathetic aspect to the case, and the greatest sympathy was felt on all sides. During the brief morning session, when Mr. Bolton had taken his place in the box. Thaw fixed the juror with his gaze as he entered. It was not a stare of curiosity or concern as to his own welfare that the defendant turned upon the juryman, but there seemed rather to be a light of sympathy In the eyes of the man accused of the murder of Stanford White. Dr. Evans Is Recalled. Dr. Britton D. Evans, superintend­ ent of the New Jersey state hospital for the insane, was recalled as an alienist to continue his direct exam­ ination. The witness was asked to detail the conversations he had Mri on various occasions with Thaw ih the Tombs. He had already declared these conversations to be an essen­ tial feature in his conclusion that Thaw was of unsound mind at the to release the remaining jurors from further confinement. In taking this action Justice Fitzgerald took pains to state that the rule keeping them together had not been adopted upon the separate recommendation of either side, but was the result of an agree­ ment based upon reasons which ap­ peared excellent alike to the interests \ of the defendant and of the people. There was intended not the slightest reflection upon the jury in any way. It would have been well, Justice Fitz- getald remarked, if the rule could have been adhered to until the close of the trial, but the sad occurrence had brought about a condition which mjust be confronted. It would be manifestly unfair, the court said, to keep the jurors from their homes dur­ ing the delay. Depends on Bolton. In announcing the adjournment on* til Monday Justice Fitzgerald ex­ pressed the "hope" that the trial might then proceed. It is realized, however, that this will depend large­ ly upon the condition in which Juror Bolton may be at that time. If he feels that he can put aside all per­ sonal considerations and continue to act as a juror, the trial will be re­ sumed. If he feels that his condi­ tion of mind IS such, or that his per­ sonal affairs are such as to prevent his giving his whole attention to the case during the remaining days of the trial, some other solution of the dif­ ficulty must be looked for.

PLEA FOR PUBLIC LANDS PRESIDENT URGES FEDERAL CON TROL OF WESTERN DOMAffPi; Sends Message to Congress Calling Attention to Need of Legislation on Matter. TO BAR OUT COOLIES. f^rashlngtoia, -- President Roose­ velt Wednesday sent to both houses of congress a long message call­ ing attention to what he terms the "urgent need of legislation affecting the different phases of th^ public land situation in the United States." He advocates the conservation of coal and other fuel resources on lands still belonging to the government, say­ ing that hencefbrth the nation should retain" its title to its fuel supplies, urges federal control of the western public land pastures, with a system of small grazing fees, and asks for an ap­ propriation of half a million dollars, immediately available, in addition to present estimates, to aid in detecting and preventing land frauds. He con­ tends for a system of government leas­ ing of mineral lands and for treating these fuel lands as public utilities. The president points out that it would have been better if some East- em coal lands had been left under government control and suggests pro­ vision in the West "against recurrence of the conditions we deplore in the East." Citing 2,300 cases of public land entries in four districts, the presi­ dent says noncompliance with the law was found In over half of them and de­ liberate fraud in very many. First referring to the previous messages on the subject, the president again calls attention to the importance of legislation to provide for title to and development of the surface land as separate and distinct from the right to underlying mineral fuels and the dis­ posal of those mineral fuels under a leasing system on conditions which would inure to the benefit of the pub­ lic.
