WHITE PLAINS, N. July 13. Evelyn Xesbit Thaw took the witness stand against her husband today for the first time. Her testimony was not taken, however, because she battled against the questioning of the Assistant Attorney General, who had called her to the stand. When the proceedings advanced' to a point where Judge Mills ordered her to answer the questions of the man who is seeking to keep her husband in a hospital for the insane, Mrs.

Thaw made her first open complaint against Harry Thaw. "I don't wish to answer," she said, looking down. "IK is your duty to answer," Judge Mills told her. "I don't want to answer," she cried aKpi-alingly. Then she turned to Judge; Mills, rested her forearm on the edge of his desk and leaning toward him, asked: "If I don't answer will I be in contempt of court?" "That will be your position in the eye of the said the judge in a kindly tone.

"I Can't Afford It" Mrs. Thaw straightened in her- chair, pulled at the edges of her blue serge jacket, then suddenly let both hands straight out in front of her on the desk at which she was seated. "I can't afford that," she said. "My husband is not supporting me properly. I cannot even afford to retain counsel in this matter." Then she leaned back and let her glance sweep over Mrs.

William Thaw and her husband before she again looked at Mr. Clark, her interrogator. looked into ks wife's face with out emotion. His mother sat very ness throughout the half hour the younger Mrs. Thaw remained on the stand.

The Thaw party embraced also Mrs. Copley Thaw and Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Thaw. None of them looked at Evelyn Thaw during ber testimony or the long wrangling between counsel as to his admission.

Mrs. Evelyn Thaw was the same picturesque figure that she wasr at the two trials of her husband with perhaps a shade of maturity in her face. She is slenderer than she was when Harry Thaw was acquitted as insane mora than a year ago. Her black hair curled loosely about her temples and was drawn into a careless big knot at the nape of her neck. She wore a hat of black straw with a narrow band of orange red about it.

almost concealed by a mass of slender gray plumes. Her walking suit was of blue serge with lapels and cuffs of dull black silk, and from the low soft collar of her silk shirtwaist she wore a jabot of white.

The Constitutionalist forces, the advance of which on Teheran for a time was not considered serious, are now. in possession of the greater pari of the city, which they entered this morning without encountering any organized resistance. While Sardarasad and Sipahdar, the leaders in the movement, concentrated the attention of the Royalists by demonstrations to the west, a strong body of Nationalists and Bakhtiaris made their way unnoticed around to the north, from 'which point the capture of the capital was not difficult. The guards at the northern gates were disarmed and the invaders marched in, the foreign section leaders taking up their quarters in the old Mejb'ss building. Stiali Still Hold Square This gives the Nationalists command of the city, with the exception of the artillery square and the drill ground adjoining.

The Royalists are badly situated to make further resistance, and the Cossacks, under command of Russian officers, remain outside the city, entirely cut off from their comrades in the artillery square. The strictest discipline is being maintained by the Nationalists, are plac- ing guards at the gates and other points as the Royalists are disarmed. The Nationalist leader, in a note to the Russian and British legations, guarantees security of life and property to foreigners, adding that nothing is demanded from the Shah but a real constitution. Parliament to Open Sipahdar already has summoned the members of. the fejliss to witness the opening of Parliament.

The invaders lost only one man while making their entry into the city. The loss to the Royalists is unknown, but cannot be heavy, as the Cossacks were the only -defenders to offer, resistance. They are keeping up a desultory fire tonight, and occasionally are making use of their artillery. There is much i 11-feeling against the Russians, and the Nationalists are endeavoring to prevent any incident that might justify a Russian force entering the city. There has been some fighting in the streets, but as a general thing the Nationalists are preserving excellent order.

They are sending out patrols through the city.

GRETA. July 13. Conewago Valley and the Blue Ridge Mountains this morning awoke with the rattle of rifle tire as the armies of the and the Browns." composed of batallions and troops of the Third Brigade, National Guard of Pennsylvania, in annual encampment here, began a three days' mimic war and field operations. v' persons flocked here from the; central part of the State, which is the home of. the soldier boys under Brigadier General C.

Bow IougheTty, gathered on knolls or hill sides to view the realistic charges and exchange of fire between the opposing forces. It is a safe assertion that the peaceful valley never before resounded with the volleys of noise as it did throughout today, with the continual rifle fire. Moreover, it is another safe assertion that farmers of the valley will be glad when the operations are concluded of the. forces of this brigade arid of those under Brigadier General Wendell P. Bowman, who will encamp here beginning July 24.

Xo Damage Farms Although the troopers and soldiers covered more than five square miles of ground in the various sham battles and repeatedly crossed farming properties and fields, no damage was done to theni. Strict orders prohibiting this had been issued by General Dougherty, who declared he would hold responsible the individual officers for any damage. Every fence that was raised to permit the passing of troops was replaced. The operation of today, which brought into action all of the men of the brigade except Battery of Phoenixville, began at 8 o'clock this morning. No more than a battalion and a troop worked together at a time.

These movements, which are considered of minor importance, were for the purpose of schooling the officers and men for the main engagement on Thursday, when the brigade and the battery and troop of regulars that are encamped here will be divided into two units for the battle. In order to pave the way more smoothly for as great a display of efficiency as possible, the men will be schooled in regimental action tomorrow, going through Continued on 2d Page, 1st Column ALPACA COATS FOR JURY Tenderhearted Boston Judge Looks After Comfort of Jurors BOSTON, July 13.

FF REVISION IS GIVEN SPEED IN TAFTS AUTO President Uses Diplomacy in Getting His Results FRICTION STORY IS PUNCTURED Special to The Inquirer. INQUIRER BUREAU. TOST BUIUDIXG. WASHINGTON.

IX July 13. President Taft wants what he Avants when' he wants it, and he expects to get it from the members of the Conference Committee, -which is now considering the Tariff bill. The President, with a smile, informed several Senators of his hopes today. With the air thick with rumors as to clashes between himself and Speaker Cannon and Senator Aklrk-h, trie President rtill seemed confident and happy. As a matter of fact, the only clashes that are occuring are friendly tilts over the dinner 1able of in the President's automobile.

Some of the most important features of the Tariff bill, such as the revision of the corporation tax amendment and the drawback provision, are actually being (accomplished in President Taft's big automobile as it speeds through the parks in and about Washington on these warm nights. For the President is not using a bij stick on the members of the Conference Committee. They are calling at the White House and talking matters over in a friendly way, and those who call in the evening are usually taken out in Mr. Taft's automobile. The President Diplomatic On Sunday night, for instance, as the President, Senator Aldrich, Attorney General Wiekersham and several others of the Senate leaders were riding on the outskirts of the city in Mr.

Taft's touring car they talked over all the objectionable featuibs of the corporation tax, and it was then resolved to cut it down to one per cent. It is in this diplomatic manner that Iresident Taft is obtaining his ends. The President finds he can get quick re-suits in these auto discussions. Upon leaving the White House today, one of Mr. Taft's callers made this statement: "The President, while hoping for additional reduction of duties in the conference, is satisfied that there are many admirable features in the new Tariff bill.

He is especially pleased with the administrative features, such as the maximum and minimum provision and the customs court. He believes the present bill, even as it stands, to be a big improvement over the Dingley bill, and a veto is a mighty remote, almost absurd possibility7." There has been a story afloat for several days that the President had been snubbed by Speaker Cannon in the selection of the conferees in the House. The report was given a severe jolt today. According- to the story, President Taft wrote a letter to Speaker Cannon aeking him to appoint Ebenezer J. Hill, of Connecticut, as one of the conferees from the House.

Hill was in line for appointment from the standpoint of seniority on the Ways and Means Committee. Confers With Cannon But Speaker Cannon decided to appoint the conferees according to geographical order.

TARI Ledge or 1 MULTIGAMIST DMS THAT HE HURRIED Johnson Says That It Was a Well Thought Out Scheme CAREFULLY DEVISED" GET-RICH-QUICK GAME wx'ial to The Inquirer. SAX FRANCISCO, July 13. Christian C. Johnson, alias John Madson, the convicted bigamist, who is known to have married at least eighteen women and who has promised to marry scores more, only to defraud and desert them all, has made a detailed confession of his remarkable matrimonial and criminal career.

Forgetful to a wonderful degree of the women he married, he remembers clearly all about those he promised to marry and jilted after getting all their available cash. He tells with apparent glee of what he regards as his most amazing feat when he made love to ten women at one. time in Portland, Oregon. He got money from all of them, married two and left the others to ponder. He married the first of his many wives in Springfield, in 1905.

She was Mrs. Mary Brown. Only One as JIadaon "I married only one woman under the name of John Madson," Johnson "her name was Jones if .1 remember rightly Ada Jones. I got $1800 from her because she said she loved me. I could have got $50,000." Johnson did not remember rightly, for the woman's name was Eliza Jones instead of Ada Jones.

Eighteen of the women whom Johnson married, according to the confession, were: Mrs. Catharine Hoen, San Diego, Mrs. Josephine Tretheway, Stockton, Mrs. Sylvia Pollard deBonnett, San Francisco; Mrs. Henrietta Leopold, San Francisco; Elizabeth Jones, Portland, Oregon; Mrs.

Mary Brown, Springfield, Mrs. Frances Hepburn, Oakland, Miss Minnie Cather," San Francisco; Mrs. Josephine Henninger, Oakland, Mrs. Birdie King, Hot Springs, Mrs. Elizabeth M.

Jackson, Iola, Kansas; Mrs. Mary Frick, East St. Louis, "Catherine," hospital nurse, St. Louis; Mrs. Alice Richardson, St.

Louis; Mrs. Catalina Baughman, St. Louis; Mrs. Minnie Allen, St. Louis; Mrs.

Bertha King, Memphis, Mrs. DeLoem, wife of a sea captain, Portland, Oregon. Cannot Count Them Johnson says he has been married to so many women he cannot count them offhanded. In each case, he declares, the money he got he spent on the victim herself. It was all a carefully devised get-rich-quick, scheme which paid well while it lasted and was full of excitement.

He says he was a buyer of horses for many years prior to 190G, when he hit upon his marrying scheme, and since then had done nothing else until he was arrested last. week. He born in Germany, and in 1872 came to this country to buy horses for the United States government. For years he prospered, but the work became too -slow" for him and he bit upon, the scheme for which he has just-been given seven years in San Qiientin He was taken there today to begin his sentence. CITY ARE BY.

Director Stearns, Director Clay, members of the Finance and Water Committee of Councils and other city officials "after they had inspected the big pumping station at Lardner's Point, the Torresdale plant and the preliminary work on the new Queen Lane plant. After being shown how quickly and thoroughly the great filtration beds at Torresdale can be cleaned and after having its many other interesting features explained to him, the Mayor again expressed emphatic disapproval of Colonel Nelson Goodwin Green's proposition that a syndicate 'formed by himself be permitted to take over the city's water supply. Filtration Efficient "Colonel Green's figures are all wrong," remarked the Mayor, "I am perfectly satisfied with the efficiency of the filtration system Philadelphia is so fortunate as to possess, and I want to say that there is no corporation in the United States getting better service from its employes that the city is getting from those connected with its Bureau of Water." The members of the Finance and Water Committees of Councils left the City Hall in automobiles at about 10.30 o'clock in the morning, going direct to the Lardner's Point pumping station, where they were joined by the Mayor and Director Clay, Director Sterns, Chief Dunlap, Chief Webster, of the Bureau of Surveys and other city officials.

They point out, that in 1S6U the river was nearly twice as wide as it is at present, and therefore the minimum depth has practically reached a new-low record level. These statements are supported by even an indifferent inspection of the river. A bird's-eye view of the river from the mouth of the Wissahickon up to the Flat Rock Dam presents'a spectacle that has probably never before been witnessed. In place of the sluggish running stream, jagged rocks rising from two to. five feet above the water are to be seen.

The water, running snakelike between and around these huge boulders, gives the historic stream more the apeparance of an interior brooklet than a mighty river that has its head waters in the mountains of Berks county. Through, the wisdom of the men who conceived the canal plan, hardships that would be difficult to describe have narrowly been averted. It is believed that unless there shall soon come a heavy downpair of rain to replenish the fast drying stream, more than one-fourth of the industrial establishments along the river banks at and around Manayunk will be compelled to shut down, throwing numerous people out of employment. Industries Threatened i Along the banks- of the canal from lower Manayunk up to Flat Rock dam, fifteen mills, manufacturing paper, carpets and cloth, depend entirely upon the river and canal for their power. Thus far by keeping the locks at the Flat, Rock Dam open, sufficient water has been diverted through the canal to keep the mills in operation.

This, however, has left little water to pass over the long Flat Rock Dam, just below the Shawmont pumping station, on Denice Island. For the first time in many years this tremendous wooden bulwark is, exposed to view with its large cribbings, with only a small stream, not exceeding two feet in width, passing out of the vent trap. Under the dam from shore to shore tremendous boulders, porus from the action of the water, are also exposed to view.

The rain storm -was unusually heavy and in some places the rain coursed down the streets so heavily that some of the sewer inlets were not large enough to carry off the water.
