TRY TO BREAK TESTIMONY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE trial Of
Harry X. Thaw for the murder Of
Stanford White was resumed here to-
day, with the defendants wife, Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, on the stand. The story
of her life told by the young woman
has greatly intensified the Already
keen interest in the celebrated case.
District Attorney Jerome probably will
begin his cross examination of Mrs.
Thaw tomorrow.
Just how severe Mr.. Jerome will be
in his questioning of Mrs. Thaw is
not known as yet, but it is believed he
will do all in his power to break down
and lessen the force of her testimony
as to the story she told Harry Thaw
of her alleged betrayal by Stanford
White.

she had been subjected in the mirrored

In Vain.
TUG TO RESCUE

Edwin A. Buck, sixty-five years of
age, captain of barge No. 43. of the
New England line, fell overheard at
the Lehigh Valley Coal Docks Satur-
day night and, although he was pull
ed out of the icy water by boatman
on the tugboat Allentown within a
few minutes, he did not regain con-
Seriousness.
The tug Allentown had thrown a
line onto the barge, preparatory to
towing it into the slip about 8
O'Clock AS Buck grabbed for the
line he lost his balance and, in an in
stant, was in the water. Lines were
at once thrown from the tug, but
Buck could not grasp them. The
boat was soon alongside of the man
and, with considerable difficulty, one
of the crew pulled him out of the wa
ter on the deck. His wet clothes were
removed at once and he was taken to
the engine room where every effort
was made to revive him. Buck was
unconscious when taken out of the
water and 1t was thought that on as
count of his age, the shock affected
his heart. The crew of the Allentown
worked like Trojans over him, but in
spite of their efforts he could not be
revived.
The body was brought to the old
New Brunswick steamboat dock, and
an effort was made to secure a doc.

rived, but could be of no ser
vice Coroner Bishop was notified
later and after viewing the body gave
Undertaken Ferd Garretson the ncc-
essary permit to remove it.
Patrolman Whitworth took charge
of the body until the coroner arrived
and, on searching through the dead
mans pockets, found a letter adj
dressed to Edwin Buck, Boston,
Mass, and $16.31 in money The let
ter and the money were turned over
to the coroner later.
The police learned yesterday that
Buck had a son, who is a policeman
in the 10Th precinct, New York. The
son, whose nome is Joseph w. Buck,
Of 349 West 49th street, New York,
was notified and came to this city
last night where he identified the

Saturday Night.
ATHLETICS A GREAT FEATURE,

The United Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters and Joiners of America held their
eleventh annual banquet and smoker
in Washington Hall Saturday night.
The affair, as in former years, was
largely attended by local and out-of-
town men. Everything to smoke and
eat was there in abundance and the
active members of the Danish So
ciable Athletic Club added greatly to
the entertainment.
The d. S. A. c. boys have enter
tanned the local carpenters for the
past four years and in appreciation
of that fact the local carpenters pre-
sented large chest developing ma
chine to the athletes. Several good
wrestling and boxing bouts were the
features of the smoker.
Early in the evening fifteen small
boys, dressed in overalls, marched
several times around the hall carry
ing American flags. The leader bore
small red banner inscribed: "The
coming carpenters" On their
march, around the hall, No. 65, the
number of the local carpenters union,
was formed. Following this ten
members from the d. s. a. G. per-
formed on large mat placed in the
center of the hail.
Henry Axen won from Chris Lar
son in securing two out of three falls
in the lightweight catch-as-catch-can
wrestling match. Axen secured the
first fall in nine minutes. Larson Sc
cured the second fall in nine minutes
and Axen secured the last fall in six
minutes
The carpenters presented four priz-
es to the wrestlers, two lightweight
prizes and two heavyweights. Mr.
Axen secured French briar pipe
and Larson received a meerschaum

root of murder is jealousy. One

Referring to the Thaw trial ha
said that the root Of that murder was
jealousy originating from worldly

to murder.

now every day MAN depends on hap

er. and 1t seems as If he hasn't that
he must kill himself. The chief
cause of suicide is an unbalanced
mind and in that case the victim is
hardly to blame. There are many de-
liberate cases which originate from
lack of moral courage. Some ara
disappointed in love. some ia wealth,
~hile others die without cause. The
confidential clerk steals penny.
hen gradually keeps taking more and
more, until he cannot make good. anf-
finally is suicide. The young WI

who are on strike on the boats of the
Lehigh Valley railroad at Perth AM
boy are granted a strike will be ord

less the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad, whose tugboat
men after striking went back to

month which was demanded the men
will go on strike again, and a general
strike may be ordered in sympathy

and at Port Reading, where strike
has taken place on the tugboats of
the Philadelphia and Reading COM
pany, there are large stores of an

said yesterday that the strikes at
Perth Amboy and, Port Reading have
had an effect in lessening the delivery

of coal unless we gain our demands
The men are we'll organized and are
