Stanford White while touring in Eu-
rope, and had turned the letter over to
Thaw. She explained that Thaw took
the letter of credit from her. saying,
the money was poisonous" and neith-
er she nor her mother would touch it,
and that he would provide them with
! funds. Whatever had been sepnt Of
the money, she declared was for her
mother.
The second point Mrs. Thaw made
was concerning the cablegrams which
Thaw is said to have sent to Stan
ford White from London. 1t appeared
Thursday that these cablegrams were
requests to White to use his influence
in keeping Mrs. Nesbit from raising
a row" and interfering with Evelyn
continuing in company with Thaw.
Mr. Jerome took up the subject again,
but his questions ELECTED the informa-
ton that the letters did not concern
Mrs Thaw at all, but related to a man
"a secretary of the American embas.
suy-in London, whom Mrs Thaw said
had "sneaked up to mammals bedroom
and insulted her" She said the man
had also insulted her, and that Thaw
had gone in search of him, but failed
to find him.
Under a severe fire of pointed ques-
tions, Evelyn denied having had i'm.
proper relations with men other than
Stanford White and Harry Thaw
Mr.. Jerome had injected the names of
George W. Lederer the theatrical man
ager, and Jack Barrymore, the actor.
Evelyn admitted having gone out
with Lederer frequently, she admitted
meeting him after the theatre, while
she was playing in his production,
"The Wild Rose" and having supper
with him, but stoutly maintained that
her relations with him were at no
time improper.
Evelyn admitted that Barrymore was
exceptionally attentive to her, but she
denied that she ever remained out
with him.

well and 16 children perished in fire
which broke out in the Hochelaga
school of the Protestant school com
mission. The school was located in a
brick two-story building in the east
end of the city and was attended by
about 200 children.
The fire started from the furnace and
was first noticed by workmen employ
ed nearby. The teachers were notified,
and the work of getting the children
out of the building began. The kinder
garten department was located on the
second floor, and it was here that the
loss of life occurred. The children
were started out, but on reaching the
landing found the lower hall full of
smoke Iuto this they refused to de-
scend, though the way at this time
was quite safe. Huddled together on
the stairway at first, they retreated to
the rooms from which they had come.
When the firemen arrived an exten-
sion ladder was placed in position and
a large number of children were res,
cued in this way.
Assisting in the work was Miss Max
well The fire by this time was making
its way upwards, and the smoke was
growing so dense that even the ex.
perienced firemen could not stand it.
Captain Carson endeavored to get
Miss Maxwell to go down the ladder,
but she refused, and evading the at
tempt to detain her, rushed back into
the back part of the building in search
of others of the little ones. When the
fremen were finally able to make their
way to the back portion of the build.
ing. she was found lying on the floor,
with a little one beside her. All those
who perished died from asphyxiation.

DETROIT BANK SUSPENDS.
Contains Over Half q Million Dol.
lars Of Michigan Funds,

DETROIT, Mich, December S-In or
der to avoid a threatened run on the
bank and to AFFORD all depositors
and creditors an equal chance in
the settlement Of tho banks affairs
State Banking Commissioner thinner
man yesterday announced that the
Chelsea Savings Bank would not open
for business today. The president Of
the bank is State Treasurer Frank p.
Glazier, who has deposited in the bank
approximately $685.. 900 Of the funds Of
the state Of Michigan. Attorney GEN
eral Bird said last night that the state
is protected by the state treasurer's
bond Of $15O.0O0 and the banks bond
for 100000. so that the state would
not suffer any loss unless the assets
of the bank should fail to pay so cents
on the dollar, which IL considered al
together improbable.
Gov. Warner last night gave out the
following statement: - -.
From the information furnished to
Attorney General Bird and myself this
afternoon 1t seems probable that the
difference between the amount of Mr..
Glazier's bonds and the amount Of state
funds ON deposit with the Chelsea Saw
ings Bank will be more than made up
by the amount the state will be en-
titled to receive on liquidation Of the
banki so. as the matter now looks, the
state would suffer no loss"

THAw TRIAL POSTPONED.
Court Orders a Special Panel Sum
moned,

m0ned.
NEW YORK. December 3.-The second
trial Of Harry K. Thaw on the charge OF
killing Stanford White has been post
pened until January 6. The court ordered
that a special panel Of 80 talesmen be
summoned for the selection Of the jury.
DIFFICULTY in securing jury is antic:-
pated, and Mr.. Jerome believes it would
be practically useless to try to impanel
twelve men at this time. Each juror
would be confronted by the prospect OF
spending Christmas at some hotel. the
guest Of the country. The district attor-
ney also based his motion upon the press
of other work in his office. to which. he
declares. preference over the Thaw case
should be given. -
Although Thaw himself was not present
in court when the case was called.
his wife was. She arrived at the court
room early in company with Chaplain
Sanderson of the Tembs. and took her
old seat we'll up in front OF the court
room, close beside her husbands counsel.
She was dressed in the same old school
girl fashion that made her 30 prominent
during the last trial She wore a plain
blue skirt that barely touched her shoe
tops, the famous turned-down eton collar
and bow tie and blue veil. She appeared
even more girIish than she did nearly
year ago. She looked better. however.
than she did then. Her face was fuller
and she had more color. She did not look
like one who had worried excessively.
After brief court proceedings were over
she tripped back to the Tombs and had
q long talk with her husband.
Thaw himself looked stout and as II the
prison life well agreed with him. He was
vistbly disappointed at not being allowed
to enter the courtroom, and pouted like
an angry school boy as the deputy sheriff
led him back to his old prison cell.

MANY DIE OF HEART DISEASE.
Significant Increase Over Last
Week of November, 1906.

NEW YORK. December 3.-The city
mortality list for the week ended No
vember 80 shows big increase of deaths
from heart disease over the corresponding
week of 1906. The deaths from this cause
last week were 1854: during the week end
ed December 1. 1906 the number was
ninety-five.
There is also marked increase in the
total death rate, only part of which is
explained by the increase in deaths from
heart trouble. The total last week was
1,346; for the corresponding week in 1906
it was f.244. The number of deaths per
thousand inhabitants for the two weeks
are respectively 1889 and 1893
Commissioner Darlington was asked yes
terday If. in his opinion. the financial and
business situation was at least partly re-
sponsible for the increase In deaths from
