presenting its case against Harry X
Thaw for the murder of Stanford White.
of the Madison Square Roof Garden.
From the prosecutors standpoint, the
rial will be short one. About FIVE wit
Hesses viii be examined in presenting the
direct case. These witnesses will tell of
the shooting and the events that hap
pened on the Madison Square Roof
Garden
That will put it up TO Thaw's counsel
TO explain the killing. Unless both Thaw
and his wife should go on the stand and
tell stories which would require a good
deal of contradiction by the prosecution.
the belief is that the trial will not be near
as long as the other cases which have
had like amount of notoriety.
There has been no statement from
Thaw's counsel of what the defense will
be. There has been a hint that it would
be startling story-a story that no men
ton has been made of even in the many
wild yarns that have been printed. Thaw.
his wife. and his mother. it is said. are
averse to the straight out and out in
sanity
Know ThaH's Every Move.
1t is understood that the district at
torney's office has in its possession infor-
nation concerning every move made by
Thaw and his wife before they were
married, and the relations of White with
Evelyn Nesbit before she married Thaw.
Not the least interesting figure in this
side of the case will be Mrs. c. J. Hol-
man. Mrs. Harry Thaw's mother She
is now in Pittsburg and there have been
reports that she will be here for the
trial. It IS known that if she is wanted
by the prosecution she viii be on hand.
But she viii not be used as a witness, un-
less ii is for the purpose of refutlug testi-
mony brought out in Thaw's behalf
1t is pretty definitely known that the
district attorneys Office has been in com
municatiOE with Mrs. Holman, and that
not only she but other members of her
family are ready and prepared to give
testimony against Thaw to show that
his treatment Of his wife was not all that
il should have been. She has also in her
possession letters written by White to
her which throw no discredit on his
actions toward Evelyn Nesbit
Mrs. Holman Very Bitter.
Mrs Holman is known to be very bitter
against her daughter She is said TO
have declared with much vehemence that
she would not ally herself with the Thaw
side of the case. but was willing 10
testify and tell whatever she knew about
the case.
Outside Of Thaw's wife and his mother,
the other members of the family are
said 20 be strongly in favor of the insan-
ity plea There has been some talk Of q
family conference TO discuss this subject

New York, Jan. 4.-Joel 3. Erhardt, who
was once a police commissioner himself,
and who served on the committee of nine
to suggest reforms in the department, to
day sent a long. hot letter to Commission
or Bingham. in which he describes the
present conditions of the New York police
force as ''putrid,' expresses sympathy
with Commissioner Bingham. and says
that increased power of removal should be
conferred upon him.
He further says that the majority of the
force are disloyal to the people, and that
the detective force is worse than the main
body of the police.
He cites a case Of brutality he witnessed
on street car where a detective sergeant
beat two colored women who had a mis-
understanding with some white women,
and says that although he complained of
the officers action, nothing was done

The Eternal Recompense.

The open door of the school struck
terror to your vacation loving soul.
It seemed as if all Joy had gone for
ever. But you forgot all that when
your eyes strayed across the room.
iPrim, beribboned heads bent with
.studious affectation over books. De-
mure eyes stole sideWise glances in
your direction. You regarded them
impersonally until there came the
one thrilling, fleeing fash of brown
eyes for which you had been waiting.
Blushing deeply, you turned to lose
yourself in life's serious business.
On your way home. by the merest
chance, you found your footsteps beat
ing slow cadence with hers. Awk-
wardly you tried to conceal the delight
of this almost forgotten joy. Once
more life was bright with their ir-
descent glamour of youth. The call
OF the river was lost among the dim,
unregretted memories of the past.

feller's pre-eminence in the world Of
finance has made him the target for
every venal arrow of envy, but no
ones counsel and advice are more

Why Animal Stories Sell.

Is it not an outrage that good ami
NAL stories should be traduced into
manufacturing natural history which
intelligent folks reject with derision?
Is it not positive and a regretful
loss to juvenile literature that where
the artistic quality is so generously
bestowed the genuine fairy or fable
like character of these stories should
be denied in venal endeavor to spir-
lit them from off the nursery book
shelf where they belong with Grimm
into the schoolroom where they have
no place? This then is my grievance
that the best animal stories should
be lost for indefensibly distorted ma
!,tural history; that sham science
should seeks to disturb our enjoy
ment of delightful fiction: that the
author whom we wish to remember
with gratitude and respect for the
genuine pleasure ne. has given us,
should make it so difficult to do SO
by proclaiming the fable to be fact.
We go to HON for entertainment, not
for fact, and it is unflattering to our
Intelligence that he so underesti-
mates it. Facts as facts are not
what the reading public buys for en-
tertainment; fable masquerading as
fact is Improbable business; and the
reason the animal stories of these
gifted authors of the new school
have sold largely is because their
fairy-like nature, which so strongly
appeals to the readers imagination,
is developed with such irresistible
charm. The reader does not" want
natural history; he does not ask Or
care if the story is true, he wants
merely to be entertained, and of
this patent fact all the members of
the new school of animal story tel
lers save only the Rev. w. J.. Long,
appear now to be aware-From

Crimes ones sure Reward.

From our Great Criminal Prob
lem, = by Broughton Brandenburg,
in the September Metropolitan Mag
azine. 5. 55s.
Cannot the solution of the prob
lem be found in itself? Why do men
become criminals? In many instan-
ces because they have grudge
against society, and in much larg-
er number because they believe that
the returns are higher in proportion
to their efforts than they can find
in any other and more honorable
walk Of life. The Increase of the
efficiency of the police forces and
detective bureaus throughout the
country and the doing away Of any
suggestion Of collision between
those who war against society and
society's protectors should tend to
show a complementary decrease in
the number of criminals.
How many young men of loose
morals for the first time face temp,
tation would fall and begin criminal
careers if they realized the appalling
chances in favor of their incarcera-
ton by the state and the loss Of
their citizenship? The lure of crime
lies In the vast profits which EN-
