VISITS NAVAL PAY SCHOOL.
Secretary Bonaparte Addresses the
Young Oficers There

Secretary Bonaparte visited the naval pay
officers school today and addressed the
sixteen young officers who are being in
structed there for service in the naval pay
corps. Paymaster Samuel MCGOWAN and q
number OF other officers of the corps ac-
coinpanied the Secretary of the Navy to the
school and assisted IN the inspection.
Mr.. Bonapartc gave the young officers a
very plain talk about the pay corps. saying
it has caused him far more trouble and
had brought more discredit upon the de-
partment than any other branch of the
service. He emphasized the Importance OF
radical improvement In the corps, and
showed what an important part its officers
play in the navy.
Ii was urged by Mr.. Bonaparte that the
pay officers should not regard themselves
as non-combatants, but should prepare for
naval responsibility also. as the exigencies
OF war may at any time demand that they
become active fighters and turn from their
accounts TO the direction of fighting
The naval pay officers school is now hold
ing its third session. which began about
three weeks ago. Secretary Bonaparte was
out of the city at that time. and today was
his first opportunity to address the young
officers admitted to the pay corps as q re-
suit of recent competitive examinations

JEROME WILL TRY THAW
DECLARES NO PRECEDENCE WILL
BE GIVEN PRISONER.

While Clifford ". Hartridge, counsel for
Harry X. Thaw, was preparing yesterday
a new move which may modify the plans
OF the prosecution, District Attorney Je-
rome made the formal announcement that
he would personally conduct the trial and
that there was no likelihood that the case
would be brought into court outside OF its
regular turn
Mr.. Hartridge would give no intimation
about what step he intends to take. but he
intimated that some action on his part
might be expected today. After visiting
his client in the Tombs his declared that
the heat in the prison was intoIerabie, as
there are hot iron pipes exposed and the
windows are too high to give much air
Harry Thaw was quoted some weeks ago
as saying he did not believe he could sur
ytve the summer in the Tomhs and IL Is
possible that his counsel may try to hurry
his trial.
Must Take His Chances With Others
When asked IL he could name a date on
which he would move for Thaw's trial Mr.
Jerome said.
That case will be called when IL is ready
and not a day sooner. Harry Thaw must
take his chances with the other prisoners
In the Tombs.
Inc sltudlioh IN the IOmbS as to the
number Of prisoners held awaiting trial
must be blamed. II there should be blame,
on the judges Of the court of general SEES
sions The district attorney has an ample
force. fully capable OF keeping three parts
in general session In operation continuously
throughout the summer. Instead of three
parts working ali day we have theoretically
two parts working one-haif day each and
as matter of fact, We have one part run
ming less than half OF regular court day
There il no need OF having many prfs-
oners in the Tombs are actually there
AT that the situation Is better here than
almost anywhere else Statistics show that
prisoner after indictment gets quicker
trial In New York than In any other Amer
lean city. The force of this Office is glad
TO DO its fun share of work. The stan Is
