RELATIVE OF WHITE
ON WITNESS STAND
James Smith, Brother-in- law
of ThaW's Victim, Testifies
in Behalf of the State.
DULL DAY IN COURT
AND TALKING WITH MURDERER
ON THE ROOF GARDEN NIGHT
OF THE SHOOTING.

New York, March 12.-With the re-
sumption of the Thaw trial this morn
ing, Mr.. Delmas, leading counsel for
the defense, continued his argument
the testimony of ames Clinch Smith,
a brother-in-law of Stanford, White.
who was absent from the country
when the prosecution put in its case
in chief against Harry K. Thaw, and
who was introduced as witness yes
terday afternoon by District Attorney
Jerome, to tell of certain conversa-
tions he had with Thaw on Madison
Square roof garden the night Stanford
White was shot and killed. Mr.. Del
mas contended that Mr.. Smith should
properly have been examined at the
beginning of the trial and could not
testify at this time as in rebutta1.
Smith took the stand when the aft
ernoon session opened. Jerome be-
gan examining him in regard to his
having seen and talked with Thaw on
Madison Square Roof Garden on the
night of the killing of Stamford
White.
Smith identified on the map of the
garden where he sat at the perform
ance, also the seats where White was
killed and described seeing Thaw and
his party enter. He said he knew
Thomas McCaleb and TruXton Beale,
two of Thaw's friends. There was a
woman whom he did not know, but
who it has been shown was Evelyn
Thaw.
Jerome instructed the witness,
Now tell in your own way what you
observed occur
''Thaw,'' the witness said, 'was
looking to the right as his party
passed Smith. The latter watched
the party as they went to their seats.
Then Thaw turned around and walk
ed back to the end of the garden.
Thaw stood still about moment, look
ing across the auditorium, looking
over the heads of the people. In this
position Thaw almost faced the ele-
vator. Smith had a great deal of
difficulty in understanding just what
replies District Attorney Jerome
seemed to desire and the latter's
questions were more and more
leading. This called out an objection
from DelmaS.
Smith related a conversation which
he had later with Thaw in which they
discussed the play and other unim-
portant matters. Afterwards the
shooting of Stanford White occurred
He was subjected to a rigid cross ex-
animation by Attorney Delmas.

INSTITUTE OF SUNDAY
TEACHERS IS CLOSED
Sec. HaIpenny Shows Change
in Work Done.
THE NEED FOR TEACHERS

An interesting program was pre-
sented at the closing session of the
Richmond Sunday School Institute at
the Reid Memorial church last even
ing.
The Growing Need for Growing
Teachers was the subject discussed
by E. w. Halpenny, secretary of the
State Sunday School association. In
the course of his remarks he urged
upon the Sunday schools the impor-
tance of developing teachers where
ever and whenever possible. He said
that there were about 100 educational
institutions in the country that had
their origin in the churches. In
the last fifty years there had been a
great change in the sentiment toward
Sunday school work. A half century
ago the man who attempted to inter-
est people along this line had to
fight every inch of his way. The
church had now come to regard the
Sunday school as part of itself.
The Rev. H. H. Moninger, of Gin
cinnati took for his subject The Big
Boy" The speaker discussed the boy
as he was in various periods of his
life, saying that he generally began
forming bad habits, if at all between
the ages of and -. This was the
period when right ideas should be
instilled in his mind.
At the morning session Mrs. NJ. J.
Baldwin, state superintendent of the
elementary grades department spoke
on Lesson Preparation for Primary
Teachers. She was followed by Mr..
Halpenny on "The Influence of Little
Things on Sunday School Work.
The subject of Charles H. Brown,
secretary of the local Y. NJ. c. A. was
THE Bad Boy in the Sunday School, .
During the afternoon there were
talks by the Rev. II. II. Moninger,
Mrs. Baldwin, and Secretary Halpen-

BRYAN GIVEN AN OVATION
ADDRESS ON GOOD ROADS
Great Commoner at Fourth Annual
Convention of Road Makers Tells
do the Farmers.

Pittsburg, Pa. March 12-William
Jennings Bryan is the central figure
among the delegates in attendance of
the fourth annual convention of the
American RoadmakerS association
which convened in this city today.
The meetings this afternoon and to-
night attracted large audiences at
Carnegie hall where the $500 dele
gates, from thirty-eight states are as
sembled.
During the afternoon session Will
liam Jennings Bryan who had enter
ed the hall but a few moments be-
fore, was called and as he walked
to the platform the applause and
scenes of appreciation were almost
equal to the reception of a man who
had just been selected a candidate
tion. Mr.. Bryan devoted most of his
remarks to the necessity of concen-
trated efforts at the good road
movement and took the stand that
such a move was OF vast Importance
to the agriculturists of the country.
He spoke of the necessity of better
ment and critized the national gov
ernment in its evident lack of ap-
probation of what was needed by the
people of the nation along this line
He was frequently interrupted with
applause and upon completion was
compelled TO promise that he would
address the delegates again before
the close of the convention

FAILS TO SECURE BAIL
Abe Reuf, the San Francisco Boss, Is
Very Anxious to Get Out
of the BastiIe.

San Francisco, March 12.-"Boss
Abe Ruef made two futile attempts
to secure his release on bail when
he appeared before Judge Dunno this
morning. The court was first asked
to approve the bonds previously given
which he denied. Ruef's counsel then
asked the court for an order that
Ruef be released on $4,000 on each
of five indictments. This also was
denied
The case then was adjourned till
10 o'clock tomorrow.
Ruef's attorneys this afternoon an
nounced they would make no further
attempt to block the trial. They said
they would be ready to go ahead when
called tomorrow At the same time
they filed a petition to a writ of ha-
beas corpus demanding Ruefs re
lease on statutory grounds.

SOME GAINS WERE SHOWN

Slowly but with no sign of abate-
ment the Y NJ. c. A. fund is being
pushed by its energetic workers to-
wards the coveted 100000 mark. The
meeting of the young mems commit

evening was very well attended and
there was the usual interest. The
gains for the week were little larg-
er than for some time past and gave
encouragement to the workers. The
time for the ending of the campaign
either by reason of its accomplish
ment or failure is fast approaching
and the next few weeks will see the
ones interested during their utmost

to patrol the streets of this city to

ory. The guard on duty is for the
purpose of assembling the men.
Mayor Barth practically admits that
an actual order is all that is Necessary
to throw one thousand troops upon the
streets. about the car barns, and to
make demonstrations or disperse the
rioters. 1--WE will do all in our power
to suppress disorder was Mayor
Barth's repeated answer to a query as
to whether troops had already been
ordered to hold themselves in readi-
ness.
Only a few passengers rode during
the morning, evidently preferring to
walk in the pouring rain to taking
chances on a car. Cars were brought
out during the morning as rapidly as
men could be obtained to man them,
but the strikers said that they had
won over one-fourth of all strike
breakers who had arrived
Many Hurt in Mixup.
In an outbreak at Second and Breck-
inbridge streets among strikers,
strike sympathizers, police and strike

es and cuts. Mayor Barth issued a
proclamation this afternoon calling up
on the citizens to refrain from con-
gregating in the streets or taking any

Powder Magazine on the lena
in Dock at TouI0n, is Blown
up, Carrying to Death
Probably Three Hundred.
BODIES FILL THE AIR
FOLLOWED BY A PANIC
More Than Six Hundred Off,
GERS and Men on Board
When the Awful. Disaster
Occurred.

Toulon, France, March PA pow
der magazine on board the French bat
tleship lena blew up today. while the
vessel was in the Missiessy dock, ow-
ing to the explosion of compressed
air torpedo. The casualties number
from 200 to 900. There were about
$50 officers and men on board the
lena at the time of the disaster, but
many of them jumped into the water.
Further explosions on the battle
ship occurred every moment, and de
bris was sent flying over the dock
yard for a distance of 500 yards. The
windows of the workshops around the
scene of the explosion were all bro
ken. The electric wires flashed in
about the Missiessy dock. A shell
weighing twenty pounds was hurled a
quarter of a mile before striking and
sinking into the ground.
A complete panic prevailed among
the employees, of the arsenal, who were
re turning to work from lunch when
the powder magazine of the lena blew
up, and many of them made rush to-
ward the dock, whence clouds of
thick smoke were arising. No one
seemed to know what had happened
until some one shouted: "The lena
has blown up"
Rushed from the Arsenal.
An OFFICER then peremptorily called
out, "Save yourselves." and all the
workmen and others made rush for
the nearest exit from the arsenal.
The lena was undergoing an inspec-
ton of her machinery in the first ba-
sin of the Missiessy dock when the ex-
plosion occurred The concussion
caused by the explosion of a compress
ed air torpedo set fire to the after
powder magazine, blowing the whole
afterpart of the vessel up. The lena
was flying the flag of Rear-Admiral
Manceron, commanding one of the di-
visions of the Mediterranean squad
ron. The commander of the vessel
was Captain Adigard.
Bodies i'm the Air.
Squads of workmen and sailors ap-
preached the scene of the disaster at
the peril of their lives, and as they
neared the Iena's deck they could
dimly observe, through dense smoke,
human bodies flying constantly in the
Air, following further explosions on the
doomed vessel, which presented ter
rifying spectacle and caused the arse
nal employees to wiring their hands
with horror. Blackened forms, with
haggard eyes, rushed madly through
the lines of the spectators, not know
Ing where they were fleeing.
The officials declare that the maza-
zines of the lena were completely fill
ed with. explosives.
