THAW STANDS ORDEAL
 OF EXAMINATION WELL
(contlnued From First Page )

in killing White, and knew that the act was wrong. Thus, while medical ex- perts may determine to-day that Thaw is still suffering from paranoia, the question to Which the lunacy commits sitn has decided to confine itself deals solely with Thaw's knowledge as to the proceedings against him and his ability to advise his lawyers
 The conssion got under way with a rush this afternoon and plunged at once into the personal examination of the defendant. District Attorney Jer- ome protested at first mat Ghe was not able to proceed, saying be would like to have his medical advisers present during Thaw's examination. He finally stated he would have no objection to the examination going forward, provid- ed he was permitted to reserve his cross examination The commission forthwith settled the matter of the presence of the experts by excluding them from the room, along with every one else except the defendant and his counsel, the district attorney and As sistant District Attorney Garvan. As to the cross-examination by the dis trict attorney, the commission said the matter would be taken up when it was reached.
 It is stated that during most of the two hours Thaw was before the com mission this afternoon the notes and letters which he tlas written to his counsel since the trial began were un- der consideration, To put Thaw thor oughly at ease, the commissioners ad- dressed their questions to him in con- versational tone, and in casual man ner, as though he were in conference with them, asked him from time to time to explain incidents in the trial which had called forth certain of the letters presented before the commission by Thaw's counsel. It was said that

test as an indication of how well their client had withstood the commissions interrogations.
 Attorney Delmas was present at the session to-day, but took no part in the proceedings, it was said. When the inquiry began he directed Chairman Mcclure to MT. Hartridge as the coun- sel of record was called for. It was said Mir. Hartridge would continue to direct the proceedings before the com mission so far as the defense was con- cerned.
 Referring tonight to the days pro- ceedings, MT. Hartridge said:
 Harry came out with flying colors He remembered more about the case than l did. We are confident of the outcome"
 It is understood that the commission proposes to take Thaw through the trial from it's beginning in order to test his memory as to what has occurred in the court. To this end, it was stated, the prisoner was to-day questioned re- garding the part taken by him in the selection of the jury.

Red Blood Corpuscles Made by Good Food Are the Police of the Body.

When a man keeps good red blood in his veins he has sort of police squad and is practically immune from disease.
 Pure blood made from the right food will resist the attacks of disease germs and drive them out or kill them. The first thing that should be looked to, therefore, is the blood, and prompt ac- tion to build up the red corpuscles by food. A lawyer in western town tells how he drove Bright's disease out of his system by supplying good red blood by food;
 For several years I had been afflict ed with kidney trouble, he says, which sometimes incapacitated me for busi- ness. Ny condition became such as to cause great fears that Bright's disease was about to fasten itself upon me.
 q had always been very fond of cof- fee. When, however, the kidney symp- toms became so alarming I quit the coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee. soon became as fond of the new beverage as I had been of the old coffee, and, what is more important my health improved rapidly and stead fly until in a short time the kidney troubles had almost entirely disappear ed. am convinced that my former sufferings and the symptoms of Brights disease were caused by the use of cof- fee, and that the credit for my cure be- longs to the Postum." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts make good red blood. They contain food that nature uses in the process, so s prepared as to be quickly assimilated ''Theres a reason.'

 The history of horses. especially of thorouRhbreds, goes to prove that parts of Ireland and Australia are the very best cradles for horse breeding in either Europe or elsewhere, with Eng land as the second best, perhaps rne equal The suggestion has been thrown out that the secret lies in 6 lime subsoil. The reason for the sup positiap Is a little obscure. The present writer has found that partidges bred on such soil are heavier and stronger and. 1t seems, fly faster than others; but this is hardly an analogy that can be applied to the horse. There are other curious analogies. It has long been no- ticed that the hest nigh jumpers among human athletes, even when the scene of their feats is America, are of Irish descent. It is not less certain that the best jumpers among horses. especially a large percentage at Con tinental concours, derive their origin from Ireland. with Australia and Eng land as occasional rivals. From the statistics emerges strong presumptive evidence that the climate even more than the breeding skill tends to strengthen the strain.

Perplexing Problem inNan'es
 Up for Solution by Judge Sayre

The younger sister and the father contended that the maiden name of Mrs. Thompson was not Virginia Alice Roberta Trice, but that the name was that of the dead mother. Mrs. rhomp- sons maiden name. it was insisted by the defense, was Bertie Gertrude Trice.
 On the other hand. Mrs. Thompson been Virginia Alice Roberta Trice and that her mothers name was Susan Virginia Trice.
 The sole point to be proved was to whom the property was conveyed Tn the deed exhibited. .whether to the mother or the older Daughter.
 Mrs. Thompson declared that when her parents purchased the property there were business reasons why they did not, put the house and lot In their name and that they therefore deeded 1t her, the older daughtes-
 An efrort to prove the name Of Mrs. Thompson was made by the introduc- lion If a large. family Bible purchased in is7s. Mrs. Thompson had told the court than, on the fly leaf of the Holy Book, Ter name was printed In gold letters as the book had been given to her by her mother. but she further as- serted that. since the mothers death, the fly lear had disappeared and she minated that 1t had been torn out.
 The Bible was displayed in court. As Mrs. Thompson had said. tho fly leaf was gone and the introduction or the good book. therefore. proved noth- ing.
 After wading through the evidence for fully three hours. Judge sayre fin ally took the case under advisement and yesterday handed down q decision awarding the property to Mrs. Thomp- son.

One of the most vexine, perplexine problems Judge Eayre ever heard before him was up in his civil court the other day. The enigma might appropriately be called . chfneee puxsle in names. Even tho introduction of an aged family Bible helped not to solve the, riddle. Z It all grew out of an ejectment suit. involving q house and lot on Chandler street. worth something like sl.o00.
 whether the plaintiff in the case was Mrs. Virginia Alice Roberta Thomp- son. .as claimed by herself, or Mrs. by heri5- -year-oid sister, Myrtle Blue Trice, and by her father. Benjamin Trice, was the abstruse question at is- sue.
 Mrs. Trice, mother of the two sisters, difd Hast January and included Tn her estate was the house and lot on Chand- Ter street which the 15~year-old daugh- ter took possession of as the minor chid, However, Mrs. Thompson. the married daughter. laid claim to the property in the name of Virginia Alice r.oberta Thompson.

 On trial, the confusion of names grew 10 intricacy and at times even Judge savre. who is usually quick to catch Q point. had to stop and straighten things out in his mind before the pro- ceedinE could continue, for Judge sayre was sitting as the sole judge of the case. the trial being without jury.

SPACE GRANTED LAST YEAR

'fWe have q great many more appli- cations for space right now than were had just q few days before the fair opened last year." seid Secretary Bob Taft, as he laboriously separated him self from q big pile of correspondepce yesterday.
 This is a sample of how much great CT in every respect this years fair is geng to be than last years. The phe- nornenal success of the fair of Octo- Der, 1908, proved to be such a magnifi- cent advertisement that not only all of the old exhibitors but many new ones from different sections of the United States have applied for space this year.
 While most of the buildings only need few alterations to put them in the perfect condition that they were in last year. several entirely new buildings have been erected and work Is being done on others.
 Last year, It will be remembered, ali of the machinery exhibits had to be housed under tents, no. building beiN& available for the purpose. Sec- retary Tait has had erected large machinery hall. so f9Gt wide by 200 feet deep. The builNng is an un- usually substantial one. It stands near the tracks of the Western Rail- road e< that the heaviest machinery can be sunloaded from the cars and placed in the building with small amount of trouble.
 An addition of ts.saty-fossr fesst has been built to the poultry building, nak- ing 1t now st by 100 feet, and at the rate Applications are coming in every inch of the extra space will be need ed.
 There will be good many more hor- ses here than last year. and two ex- trA ssFus nA<s to ne built. eaSh by 44 feet, while the swipes and stable boys generally will have a commodious building of their own. This building will have four good -sized rooms--two bedrooms, a dining room and Kitchen with q large veranda in front.
 The cooling out paddock for the use of horsemen taking part in the after noon's racing will be brushed and will make six new buildings that will have been erected before the gates are thrown open to the public.
