Birmingham, Ala., July JO.—"Harry Kendall Thaw owaa hla present pre dicament to a useless, misguided life. With something like 1100,000 a year to spend, he has done nothing but seek a goyd time." Thus spoke William Travers Jerome, the district attorney of New York, who arrived here at 5: JO o'clock this morn ins. He was accompanied by Francis I’. Garvan and A. C. Vandiver, two of his assistants, "There Is no distinction In a felonl ous homicide,” said Mr. Jerome, In dis cussing the Thaw-White murder case. "You doubtless have frequent negro murder cases that are traced to jeal ousy. It Is the same kntd of jealousy that burned In Thaw's breast the night he stepped up behind Stanford White In Madison Garden and sent a bullet ploughing through his heart. The law has the same punishment for a rich murderer that Is provided for the most vicious negro criminal." The Jerome party was met at the train by a local committee and driven over the Birmingham district. Mr. Je rome will be the chief speaker at a banquet In his honor at the Country Club tonight.

Former Judge Olcott, of counsel for Mrs. William Thaw, refused today to give up what are now considered the most essential papers In the Thaw case.

Accotiiigly, when the bill was reached In Its regular order under the head of unfinished business, Mr. Wright, of Floyd, was recognised by Speaker Slaton, who prefaced hla mo tion to table the bill with the state ment that the roll call disclosed the fact that there were (0 members ab sent. "With a full house," said Mr. Wright, "there could be no doubt but that the bill would pass.” Anticipating the motion to table, Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, Inquired of Ml'. Wright If It would not be better for him to discuss the question, and that perhaps later on there might be such an Increased attendance that a vote could be hrfd on the measure. This did not meet the views of Mr. Wright, who contended that as the session progressed the house would. In all probability, be more thinned out than now, and that a vote on the measure could scarcely he reached till the afternoon seeelon, when (here would be but a email margin above a quorum of the members. This measure. In his opinion, was one of transcendent Importance to the this measure of more Importance than all other legislation this house could enact If the bill now went to Its passage, falling to get the requisite 88 voti t of the calendar, and never would considered. He, therefore, moved to table the bill, which was assented to by an over whelming viva voce vote. L THE MUTUAL LIFE IN OFFICIAL LIST Policy Holders Committee Demands Dropping of Names.
