Mrs. Thaw Told Jury Why She Refused Proposal. Sensations In Two State Departments. Guests Escaped In Night Clothes. Judge Killed by an Infernal Machine. Exports of Iron and Steal Rocke feller Gifts. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw told her story on the witness stand last week. To save the lift) of her husband, who is charged with murder, she bared u the world the Innermost secrets of her soul a portrayal for which a sanctuary were a more fitting place than the crowded, gaping court room. It was the same story she told Harry Thaw In Purls In 1903, when he had r.sked her to become his wife the con fession of a woman who felt there was an insurmountable burrler to her ever becoming the bride of the man she loved. In the big witness chair she appear ed hut a slip of a girl and she told the 1 it if nl story of her eventful young lite in a frank, girlish way. As the young wife narrated her girl hood and told of the early struggles of herself and her mother to keep body and soul together, of how poverty stood ever at the door, and of how finally she was able to earn a liveli hood by posing for photographers and nrtiuts, she had the murmured sym pathy of tbe throng which filled every available space In the big court room. Important Evidence Missing. All the evidence on which was based the complaint of Attorney General Julius M. Mayer against the American Ice company of New York city for dissolution of an alleged monopoly of the ice business, served on Dec. 20, has disappeared from the attorney general's office and cannot be found. This announcement was made last night by Attorney General William S. Juckson. Mr. Jackson also made pub lic affidavits of employes of the attor ney general's office which show that a part at least of the papers were known to be missing late In December before the retirement of his predeces sor, Mr. Mayer; but that the disap pearance of the evidence was not known to Mr. Jackson until early In January, when, after he himself had assumed office, he took up the case with a view of further proceedings. Attorney General Jackson said that wilful abstraction of evidence from the attorney general's office would be a crime under the provisions of the penal code. "This office has been thoroughly searched," said Mr. Jackson, "but noth ing can he found except a copy of the summons and complaint served by or der of Attorney General Mayer upon the officials of the American Ice com pany on Dec. 20. All of the evidence upon which that complaint was based and referred to In-It as ground for the action, is missing." Guests Escaped In Night Clothes. Fire destroyed the Mowry House In Syracuse early Sunday morning. The fire was one of the most spec tacular in the history of the city and within an hour from its discovery only the outer walls of the six-story struc ture were standing and the Andrews Hall block adjacent to the hotel was also in ruins, the property loss aggre gating $250,000. . The conflagration was replete with thrilling Incidents and hair breadth escapes. None of the occupants of the building saved any of their per sonal property and a large number made their way, or were carried to the street, clad In thoir night clothes. In rescuing the guests of the hotel the firemen were ably assisted by spec tators. Several persons were taken out of the first three or four stories on ladders. From the top, or sixth floor, one man came down a rope and tue firemen rescued several persons by an extension ladder. No lives are known to have been lost. Use of Mrs. Sage's Gift. The board of trustees of the Rens selaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, N. Y., formally accepted' the gift of Mrs. Russell Sage of $1,000,000 to that in stitution. The faculty was Instructed to prepare an outline of the proposed new courses In electrical and mechan ical engineering, The Institute will establish a separate department for that work with Mrs. Sage's money, erecting a Urge building where elec trical and mechanical engineering will be taught. This will greatly broaden the scope of the R. P. I. The building will cost, It is estimated, at least $200,000. A formal resolution of thanks to Mrs. Sage was adopted. IrUh Street in Ha.Te.ns. O'Reilly street, one of the big thor oughfares of Havana. gets its name from General Alexander O'Reilly, who named the streets In H'H, and this street after himself. As the name In dicates, he was of Irish descent. His forefathers emigrated to Spulu from Ireland after the battle of the Boyne in KiflO.

Glynn of New York made public Sunday night the results of an Investigation which he has been making Into the conduct of the stock transfer tax bureau of his office, with reference to the handling and disposal of millions of dollars' worth of the stamps issued by that de partment for use in the transfer of stocks under the act of 1905. According to the comptroller's state ment more than $5,000,000 worth of these stamps have been destroyed, either In process of manufacture or by actual burning, without adequate rec ord or supervision, in the two years since the act was passed, and there Is only the personal word of a single clerk, salaried at $2,500 and not under bond, to certify the fact that they were destroyed at all. Judge Killed by Infernal Machine. Before he died Justice of the Peace Robert Cortese of Paterson N. J., who was mortally injured Friday night by the explosion of an Infernal machine which he received by express, made a statement naming several per rons he suspected of having sent him the package. The police of Paterson and nearby cities expect to be able to run down the assassin or assassins, by means of this statement. The Impression prevails In some quarters that the machine was sent by some criminal organization which had reason to fear the enrollment of Judge Cortese as a detective sergeant on the police force of the city, which the police commissioner was about to do. Grangers on Good Roads Work. At the state convention of the grangers at Blnghamton the special committee on good roads work pre sented a lengthy report in which it was urged that the state Bhould not continue the work of constructing good roads until an equitable basis of ap portionment between the counties has been adopted. To accomplish this, a law Is recommended which will allot to each county its share of any ap propriation made from the $50,000,000 to be used by the state for good roads work. They would have state aid for good roads rated according to the as sessed valuation of the towns. Herd of Wild Buffalo In Alberta. At the annual meeting of the North American Fish and Game associa tion held at Quebec last week an ap plication for membership was re ceived from President Roosevelt and favorably acted upon. President Roosevelt drew attention of the asso ciation to the fact that a herd of buf falo in a wild state had been seen in Al berta, Canada, and suggested that the provincial governments be asked to see that this herd be given effective protection. The association decided to act upon the president's suggestion. ' Exports of Iron and Steel.

DAY OF LEGAL SPARRING. Dr. C. G. Wagner Answered a Long Hypothetical Question. Declared That Thaw Because of De fective Reason Did Not Know That Killing of White Was Wrong Was Net Allowed to Go Into Converse tions He Had With Prisoner. New York, Feb. 12. Answeriug a hypothetical question covering every detail of the testimony up to this time In the Thaw trial, li eluding Mrs. Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw's narration of her life history to the defendant, Dr. C. G. Wagner, superintendent of the state hospital for the insane at Blnghamton, V. Y., declared on the witness stand that in his opinion Harry K. Thaw did not know that the act was wrong when he shot and killed Stanford White on the roof of the Madison Square Car den. Dr. Wagner stepped aside for cross examination later on by District At torney Jerome, and as court adjourned for the day it was announced that tbe defense will proceed with the testi mony of other alienists. Dr. Wagner's opinion of a hypothet ical question, the man under consider ation in that question being the au thor of the letters introduced as eman ating from Harry Thaw during the period of his estrangement with Eve lyn Nesbit after their return from Eu rope In 1903, followed a day of almost continuous legal sparring between Del phln M. Delmas for the defense and Mr. Jerome for the prosecution. Mrs. Thaw's Testimony Blocked. Mr. Jerome effectually blocked the completion, for the time being, of the direct testimony of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw. He Insisted that before she went fur ther competent testimony as to Thaw's unsoundness of mind should be placed before the jury. Mr. Delmas tried to carry forward the young wife's story, but the district attorney was ready with an objection to every question asked. Mrs. Thaw had been recalled as the third witness of the day. One of her predecessors was J. D. Lyon, vice president of the Union Na tional hank of Pittsburg, who testified that he received Harry Thaw's will from the latter's own hands some time prior to April 1, 1906, and held it In a safe deposit box until late in Novem ber last, when he directed his secre tary to forward it to John B. Gleason, of Thaw's counsel. Mr. Gleason followed Mr. Lyon on the stand and said he received the will by mall on Dec. 11, 1906, and that ab solutely no changes were made in the instrument during the time it was In his possession. Mr. Jerome admitted the transfer of the will from Lyon to Mr. Gleason and obviated bringing into the case the former's secretary as a witness. Mr. Delmas did not offer the will in evidence, however, because It has not in its entirety been proved as having been legally executed by Thaw. Cafe Martin Note In Evidence, When young Mrs. Thaw was called to the stand she was dressed precise ly as when she occupied the witness chair last week. As she was taking her seat Mr.'Delmas turned to the dis trict attorney and renewed his demand of Wednesday last that the note which was passed by Mrs. Thaw to her hus band at the Cafe Martin the night of the tragedy be produced. Mr. Jerome upon the occasion of the first demand remained silent, but yesterday he arose at once and said that he would send for the slip of paper. It was brought from his office, was identified by Mrs. Thaw and was then read by Mr. Del mas as follows: "The B- was here a minute ago but went out again." The contents of the note caused a surprise only as to the exact wording. It had generally been supposed that the note read: "The B is here." Mrs. Thaw testified yesterday that "the B " meant "the blackguard," as Thaw is alleged always to have re ferred to Stanford White whom she had seen on the balcony of the cafe. The only other essential point Mrs. Thaw was allowed to bring out in her testimony was that the defendant never carried a pistol except when In New York city. She was asked many other, questions by Mr. Delmas em bodying various stories she discussed with Thaw, Including the alleged fate of a girl known to them as "The Pie girl" at the hands of Stanford White, but Mr. Jerome nullified every one of these questions with sustained objec tions. After compelling the defense to re sort to expert testimony as to Thaw's Insanity by his objections to Mrs. Thaw's testimony, Mr. Jerome proceed ed to bar the testimony of Mr. Wagner as to the results of his six visits to the defendant in the Tombs and his tests as to the mental condition of Thaw. Dr. Wagner was not allowed to go into the conversation he had with the prisoner nor the conclusions he reach ed from these conversations. He was confined by Mr. Jerome's fusllado of objections to testifying what ho act ually observed, und he declared his ob servations were so closely related with his questioning of the dtfendant that he did not know whether he could dif ferentiate them. A long argument over the point resulted In Mr. Delmas withdrawing any further questions as to the tests and his contenting himself with asking Dr. Wagner for his opin ion upon the hypothetical question covering the evidence in the case. The question was almost record-breaking In length a comprehensive resume of th etiir ess, including Mrs. Thaw's personal narrative. PROPOSED CANAL CONTRACT. Percentage to Be Paid Is Only on the Cost of Labor. Washington, Feb. 12. Secretary Taft, Chairman Shonts of the Isthmian sauul commission and R. R. Rogers, general counsel for the commission, appeared before the hoiiBe committee an interstate and foreign commerce to explain the proposed canal contract ami the puin to merge the Panama Railway company's management with the canal commission. Mr. Rogers explained that the chief purpose of the contract is to permit the government to avail itself of the practical experience and efficient la bor organization of an association of contractors. The percentage to be paid the contractor is to be only on the cost of labor, and not on supplies and equipment, which are to be sup plied by the government. In response to inquiries by members of the committee Mr. Rogers and Sec retary Taft both said that the eight hour law would apply on the isthmus under the proposed contract. When Mr. Rogers was esked what the total amount would probably be upon which the contractor would re ceive percentage he replied that he had not made any estimate and that so far as he knew no careful estimate had been made by any contractor. Secretary Taft made a statement about the Panama railway. He said it Is controlled absolutely by the govern ment. The directors are named with the understanding that they shall vota as the government desires and, Mr. Taft said, any director would be re moved at once for failure to vote as Instructed. He Bald he desired to be heard at length before any steps ar taken to change the admlnstration of the railway's affairs. Secretary Taft said positively that he was in favor of the proposed con tract as it now stands. He said that he believed that with the highest class of contractors in charge the work can be done more rapidly under contract than by the government. Secretary Taft expressed the opiniou that the annual payments to the con tractor under the proposed contract would probably be about $400,000. He said that the total amount upon which the contractor would be paid a per centage is estimated at from $60,000, 000 to $70,000,000. Mr. Taft said that his understanding of the contract and of the present law Is that they would not prevent the suc cessful contractor from employing Chinese labor on the isthmus.

Iet the German people keep a lesson from antiquity before their eyes. Once before an England and a Germany of no less different character have con fronted each other. They were Car thage and Rome. And old Rome with Its policy of force and power finally conquered the casli politics of Carthage and raised Itself to the position of the first power upon earth. We have his torical example when we say that tbe German people must return from the imitation of the un-German Carthaginian-British finance policy and must go back to the Roman-German policy of power and might. In no other way can a really great Weltpolltik be pro moted in the hope perhaps of making ourselves ultimately the leadlpg peo ple In the world. Berlin Grensboten. Spanlah Sheep.
