though all the great stores and shops are filled to oyerAoWing with articles refecting the Christmas spirit, New York has drawn it's purse strings the tighter and refused to spend. The financial stringency is, of course. re- sponsible for this condition. The New Yorker, who usually gets rid of all his available cash at this period of the year, has become "tightwad
 This condition is reflected even more acutely in the condition of the coffers of the yariuos religious and charitable societies. A month ago, when early contributions from a few men of wealth were being received and when financial affairs appeared to be on the mend, the officers of the Salvation army and other organ izations announced that the poor of the city were certain of their usual sumptuous banquet. Doubt has now taken the place ~of certainty and it appears that, unless contributions soon take an upward trend, the an- nual charitable distributions of food must be greatly reduced.
 On every important street corner the collection kettle of the Salvation army may be seen, with a uniformed member of the army ringing a bell violently to call attention to the pur- pose of the organization to feed 25,000 of New York's poor on Christmas day. In past years these appeals always brought liberal response. Now few army, and pennies, nickels and dimes have taken the place of the quarters and half-dollars that used to ring merrily in the kettles.
 The Charitable Organization soci- etI, too, is suffering from a decided failing off in it's receipts, although it ly twice as many families as last year. Last month the society added 250 needy families to its roll of 2,500, and applications for aid are now con- ing in by the scores. According to Secretary Devine, there are hundreds of families In the city who, through no fault of their own, are now face to face with starvation and cold, and who can be saved only by the prompt action of the charitable organizations. The present winter is likely to be the hardest on the poor in recent years. Meanwhile, New York is pulling it's purse-strings tighter.

INSURANCE OFFICIAL
 ON TRIAL

New : X. Dec. -6.-Charged with
 perjury . connection with state meEts to the insurance commission, John R. Hegeman. president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Compa- ny. appeared for trial today before Justice Bowling in the criminal branch of the supreme court. Dis trict Attorney Jerome is conducting the prosecution of the indicted insur- ance magnate. Hegeman is repre- sented by John D. Lindsay, eX-just- ice of the supreme court; Morgan J.. OBrien and John c. Milburn, the famous Standard Oil lawyer, who was recently engaged to assist in the de- fense. A special panel of talesmen has been drawn and it is thought cer- tain that the trial will now proceed without further delay.
 President Hegema.A has entered a plea of not guilty to the three indict- ments against him. He is a man of striking personality and wholly un- like the average type of New York financier He wears his hair long, and this, with his Ssmooth face and big slouch hat, gives him the appear ance of the southern colonel of fic- tion.
 The indictments against Hegeman grew out Of testimony he gave be- fore the grand jury. relating to cer- tain collateral loans which had been made by the Metropolitan Life. There are three indictments, but if he is acquitted on the first the others will likely be dismissed. The perjury in dictments are based on reports, al legged to be false, made to the super intendent of insurance to cover up year-end transactions of the insur- ance company. Seven forgery indict ments, also relating to year-end trans actions. were brought against Hege man but were dismissed by Justice Bowling on the ground that the grand jury testimony showed no intent to defraud even coneedng that the en- tries were false.
 The evidence presented to the grand jury set forth that for a number of years it has been the policy of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Compa- ny to transfer certain of it's assets, consisting of collateral loans and syn dicate participations, on the last of the year to President Hegeman, and a few days after the first of the year to have them transferred back to the insurance company.
 IL is alleged by President Hegeman that the company did not suffer through these transactions, but that it actually made money on them, and that while the reports to the insur- ance department may have been in accurate, they were not false, in the meaning of the law.

MRS. HOLMAN
WILL TESTIFY
AGAINST THAW

New York. Jan Sit was made known
yesterday that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw has
never met or spoken to her mother since
her marriage to Harry Kendall Thsw.
that the two have not exchanged letters
and that Mrs. Holman scorned Detective
Roger OMaras intercession on behalf of
the young millionaire who slew Stanford
White.
The mother sided with Stanford White
in rivalry FOR the girls favor. and Mrs
Holman, or Mrs. NeSbit as she was then,
came to hate Harry Thaw
After the model and the young million
ara were married Harry Thaw forbade
his wife to speak to her mother. After
Thaw found himself in the Tombs efforts
were made by Roger o'Mara, the Pitts
burg detective. to placate Mrs. Thaw's
mother
But the latter. remembering that she
was not permitted to attend her daugh-
ter's wedding, that she was described to
Mrs William Thaw. the bridegroom s
mother. as unit to associate with, she
laughed at O'Mara and would not listen
TO him except to mock him.
At the district attorneys office IL was
intimated yesterday that one OF her an
swers to O'Maras peadings was that she
would wait two years II necessary to get
even with Thaw.
Mrs. Holman will be an important wit
ness at the trial and will produce letters
to controvert the contention that White
circulated soandalous stories about young
Mrs Thaw

At WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Jan. 5.--President Roose-
velt received the members OF the Ar
chaeological institute OF America and
OF the Pathological society at the White
House yesterday. The reception took
place in the east room, and before
shaking hands with his visitors the
president made the following address:
MIR. President and Ladies and Cen
tlemen--It is a very real pleasure to
greet you in the white House should
be very loath 10 Accept the idea that
at the White House men engaged espe-
cIally' in political life were the only
guests. / feel that II Is peculiarly the
nations house. and that the nation
gains permanently very largely accord
ing 10 the quality OF the work done
by just such associations as this. There
is not any danger OF the United States
not making sufficient material prog
ress. That wo can be certain TO do.
What is 10 be guarded against by our
people, what our people have 10 guard
against In themselves, is that lest in
the desire for material progress we
may forget certain things OF the soul
and the mind for the lack OF which
in a nation as in an individual no ma
teriaI progress can atone.
1T IL a fine thing To have BODY
OF scholars doing the work that you
are doing. hope to see more and
more I'm our colleges and universities
the work OF productive scholarship. For
instance take in your own line, the
work that can only be done by men
and women trained In classical studies.
where, In addition TO the book lore,
they take part I'm such actuaf work OF
exploration and excavation as this So
ciety has taken part In, and which as
a result develops here and there the
man who leaves to the generations that
come after him work which repre-
sents a permanent acquisition to the
people OF learning and 10 the people
who without being able 10 claim 10 be
OF learning yet as laymen appreciate
learning in others and it's results.
IL have been very much interested
recently in reading Victor Berard' 8
work on the Phoenicians and the
Odyssey. and this association, apart
even from the actual work II does,
Indirectly accomplishes much more by
stimulating, encouraging and producing
the kind OF scholarship which will here
and there produce the work OF Victor
Berard In our country. ] greet you and
congratulate YOU on behalf of the
United States for the work you are
doing for the United states"
