SERMON ON THAW CASE
 AS WARNING TO CHILDREN
REE C. ". BLoDGETT SPEAKS ON WEALTH AND
 HOME.

Tells Allegheny Audience that Riches
 Need Not be the Corruption of Morals
 --vulgarity of It That World RecoiIs
 From-No Child Should be Entrusted
 With q Dollar Until He Has Learned
 the value of It by the Sweat of Ills
 Brow.
 Pittsburg, Feb. 1O.-Taking for his topic, "The Blessings and Curses of Wealth and Home" the Rev. pr, c. w. Blodgett, at the North Avenue Meth odist Episcopal church, one of the largest in Allegheny City, to-day preached most sensational sermon, citing the Thaw case on trial now in New York, and urging it as a warning in the rearing of children!e
 wealth need not be a corrupter of morals" he said, 'it is the yulgarity of 1t that the world recoils from.
 No child should be trusted with 8 dollar until he has learned the value of the same by earning it by the sweat of his brow. This country is reading of the tragic scenes in the court of justice in New York with intense in- terest.
 ''Pittsburg is deeply interested On the streets of Allegheny the poor woman played when she was girl Across the river the husband now on trial for murder of man in New York, the re- vealments of whose life make you shudder with horror, spent his boy hood days They both came from re- spectable families. They both go wrong.
 'One, seemingly by the cruel hand of fate, the other through love that was blinded All our hearts bleed for them. will the fathers and mothers of this and other cities take no warning?
 "A lecherous scoundrel of a man. poor or rich should have the same treatment as the abandoned woman. Poor Evelyn Nesbit Thaw is not the only girl that has been ruined as she said she was.
 "In the outcome of the trial of Harry Thaw, the reckless and unfortunate boy of one of the most respected homes, millions are interested. What of the outcome of the lads and lassies not grown to manhood? Hearts are still to | be broken, and homes made desolate, and some of them may be yours"

EVELYN THAW MAY NOT
 RETURN ID STAND TO-DAY
THAW, HIMSELF, COMES TO HER RESCUE AND DEMANDSA
 RESPITE.

strain of Startling Confession Has Told
 on Her-RepOrtcd Illness of Juror
 and Visions of Mistrial Dlspelled--
 Jurors Living Under Guard-Thnw's
 Best Sunday in TOmbs-Eats With a
 Relish.
 New York, Feb. 10.-Evelyn Nesbit Thaw may not as had been expected, return to the stand tomorrow morning when the trial of her husband for the murder of Stanford White is resumed.
 The strain of the last few days, in which she has been made to live again the hours when, according to the con fession she has sworn that she made to Harry K. Thaw, she was the victim of the architects caprice, has told severe ly on the young woman, and tonight it was stated that the prisoner had come to her rescue and of his attorneys demanded a respite for his wife.
 Upon her visit to the Tombs Satur- day Mrs. Thaw told her husband that she had suffered greatly during the orr deal when the story of her association with White was laid bare, and Thaw communicated the fact to the lawyers He told them that his wife was in bad shape, and requested that she be given an opportunity to recover. Attorney D. M. Delmas then set about to so rear range the plans of the defense that Mrs Thaw's presence in court as a witness would not be required until Tuesday.
 If to-nights plans do not miscarry Mrs. Thaw will continue giving direct evidence Tuesday and her cross-exanl- ination by District Attorney Jerome will begin Wednesday, a day later than had been anticipated.
 Another development to-day that startled those directly concerned in the case was the reported illness of a juror. Visions of mistrial were soon dis pelled, however, for it was ascertained that the sickness of the juror was not such as threatened to incapacitate him. Wilbur F. Steele, sixty years of age. a manufacturer of gas appliances, has contracted a severe cold, but careful attention is expected to give him relief by tomorrow. The jurors are living under guard at the Broadway Central hotel, and when the usual Sunday ride in Central park. which has been the weekly diversion of the twelve men, was proposed to-day it was found that MT. Steele would not be able to go out. Mr. Steele is man of usual robust health. The other jurors. all of whom reported in good condition, took the drive.
 To-day may be said to have been Thaw's best Sunday in the Tombs. He rose, after what he declared had been a restful night, in good spirits and with a hearty appetite. He did not attend service in the chapel, but spent the morning with the newspapers and in reading the many messages which were brought to him. Of these one read: Be brave"
 None of Thaw's counsel called during the morning hours. and at noon the prisoner sat down to a lunch sent in from Delmonieo's. He ate with rel ish During the afternoon he walked the tier briskly for an hour, covering several miles. Later he sent the suit which he has been wearing at the trial out of the Tombs by messenger, who subsequently, returned bringing the prisoner complete change of clothing.

 A telegram received to-day by Mayor Schmitz from the president of the Cali fornia Exclusion league, in part reads;
 Morning papers announce in big headline that Schmit deserts labor for Japanese; mayor and school board make complete surrender. We cannot and will not believe it. Exclusion league demands exclusion by act of congress- treaty will not exclude. Sow ereign rights must not be bartered away by promises and should not be basis for compromise. We will not yield one iota of our rights as a sovereign people re- } gardless of cost or consequences"
 Mayor schmitz's reply to this tele- gram. in part. follows:
 Telegram received. Announcement of morning papers absolutely false. Have made no arrangement up to date of any kind. Story false hke all other statements made about us. Have re- fused to give any statement to report CTS. President has refused also until ! conference completed and is showing friendly spirit. I am Californian try ing to do my duty to my state. Cam not succeed if hampered by hostile press of San Francisco"

 day, and he understands our position. There has been no chonce in the situa- tion since then, and cannot be until after to-morrow's conference"

SCHOOL zRoUBL4
Jill Does Not Believe fin Mutual Re-
 strIctiye Measure


 Tokio, Feb. 1O.-The Jiji. in a leading editorial anent the Stn Francisco incl dent, expresses disbelief in the possibil- ity of the adoption of a new treaty mu- tually restricting labor immigration as a solution of the public school contro- versy. The Jiji declares that it is aware that large number of Japanese are going to San Francisco from Ha- waii, and that this immigration is causing jealousy on the part of the white labor, but it contends that this is due to the imperfect provision of the existing law, which might be remedied by an agreement on the part of both governments, but which should consti- tute an entirely separate subject of dis cussion as not concerning the present San Francisco dispute, In which Japan stands on her treaty rights.
 The Jiji, Judging by statements at tributed to officials of both govern ments, draws the copelusion that if a satisfactory adjustment of the difficult ty is reached the credit will be solely due to the admirable efforts put forth by President Roosevelt.
