PRICK COMPANY
ADVANCES WAGES
LARGE AMOUNT
Increase Affects Over Two Hundred
Thousand Men of the Frlck
Company.
THOUSANDS MORE AFFECTED
Better Now to be Coal Miner Than
Bookkeeper or Clerk-All
Are Celebrating.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Feb. 10,
(speciaD Done hundred towns and
as many coke plants are stirred over
the most remarkable wage advance
in the history of the Connellsville
coke region which was announced
yesterday afternoon by the H. G.
Frick Cooke Company, subsidiary
company to the United States Steel
Corporation.
At every coke plant last night
there was rejoicing unbounded and
although the scale does not go into
effect until March many celebra-
tions are being held.
Notices were posted yesterday af-
ternoon by the H. G. Frlck Company
announcing a general increase in
wages averaging 10 1-2 per cent. for
mining, 10 per cent. for coke draw
ing, and 15 cents day for rope rid
ers, track layers, cagers, drivers, etc.
In the Frick company 100000 are
directly affected by the raise in pay
and fully 10000 more men employ
ed by the Independent operators will
be affected by the announcement as
all the Independent coke companies
pay the same rate Of wages estab-
lished by the greatest coke manu-
featuring concern in the world. Last
year the Frick company made more
than 100000 tons of coke and
paid out in wages something like
$4,000, 900.
The great furnaces from the east
to the west have been sent simultan.
eous notices of the advance and it
forecasts one of the greatest rises in
coke process than has occurred in
recent years. Heavy buying has
been going on by the furnace men
for weeks passed and 1t is evident
that the raise in wages was immin-
ent, but not even the most conserva-
tive suspicioned that 1t would be so
great as 1t was. It is a greater raise
in wages than was given any sub
sidiary concern of the United States
Steel Corporation and was primarily
due to the great ingenuity and fore
sight of the greatest coke maker in
the world, Thomas Lynch, president
of the H. c. Frick Coke Company.
Coal miners under the new scale
just announced will be able to make
between $4.OO and $500 a day, the
average pay for a miner digging and
loadin give wagons being In the
neighborhood of $4.35 day. The
average pay of coke workmen, TAX
ing more than $4,000 employed, is
$2.55 per day. No laborer in the
employ of the Frick company now
receives less than $1.s5 per day.
Contracts have been closed for the
entire present year and there can
not possibly be a day off in the en-
tire coke regions. Figuring upon an
average of 25 days month with a
daily pay Of s4.35, 1t can easily be
seen that coal miner can average a
greater pay month than the best
paid bookkeeper or clerk.

MRS. THAW is
ON THE STAND
Tells Jury That White Tried to En-.

Chorus Girl.
will WIN HER BACK,
Is What He Told May Mackenzie,
After Thaw Married Miss
Nesbltt.
fRy Asaociated Prsss. ]

NEW YORK, Feb. 19-The usual
crowd filled the court room this
morning when the Thaw case opened.
A decided surprise was sprung by
the defense in recalling Mrs. Evelyn
Nesbitt Thaw to the stand immed-
lately after court convened.
Mrs. Thaw completed her story be-
fore the luncheon recess was ordered
and was given into the hands Of
Jerome for ross-examination.
Jerome reserved his right, say
ing he had not yet determined wheth-
er a cross-examinatlon was needful
a. to the issues involved in the case
While Jerome thus released the pris-
oner's wife, for the time being, he
soon found himself in position to In
directly attack her credibility. This
was when the defense introduced
Mrs. j. J.,Caire, milliner, of Bos-
ton, as a witness.
Mrs. Caine had testified to hear
ing Thaw ask Mrs. Nesbitt that he
be anowed to marry her daughter.
When Mrs. Caine was tlken in
hand by Jerome he began search
ing inquiry into her acquaintance
ship with the Thaws and asked her
all about their movements directing
his questions, particularly tn the trip
which Thaw and Evelyn Nesbitt
took to Europe. He brought out
the fact that Mrs. Nesbitt had mot ac-
companied her daughter on this trip.
He next took up the movements
of the defendant and Miss Nesbitt
after their return from Europe in
1904. He asked about the Hotel
Cumberland episode" referring to
the time when Miss Nesbitt and
Thaw were required to leave the ho-
tel unless they registered as man
and wife. This latter fact had not
gotten before the jury, but Jerome
mad not concluded the cross-examina-
tion when recess was ordered.
Young Mrs. Thaw testified today
that she told her husband of the
statement of May Mackenzie, made
to the effect that Stanford White
had declared: 81 will get her back"
This was when Miss Mackenzie told
the architect Harry and Evelyn were
most happy in their married life.
White also stated: Pooh; 1t won't
last"
Mrs. Thaw identified two Of Mrs.
Thaw's letters.
Mrs. Thaw said she met White at
May MacKenzie's bedside while she
was Ill in 1904, and he attempted to
embrace her. She repulsed him.
She had second operation per-
formed in January, 1905, which was
paid for by Thaw.
Thaw told her her illness was due
to White.
Delmas asked Mrs. Thaw whether
Thaw told her that some of Whites
practices on young women were un-
natural.
She declared he did.
Asked whether she could describe
them, she flushed and said they were
unspeaI,able.
Among the letters which Mrs.
Thaw identified was one from Thaw
to Anthony Comstock. 1t complain
ed about Whites alleged practice
and described his different studios.

Physicians Called It Eczema in Worst Form Treated Disease for a Year but Could Not Cure It Patient Became Despondent- Suffering Promptly AIIayed and
DREADFUL DISEASE
 CURED BY CUTlCURA

"About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, end which caused me great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of -. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in it's worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me DO good. Finally became Respondent and decided to discontinue their ser. vices. Shortly afterwards, my husband in reading copy of weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- cura Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cutioura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. I have not felt syrnp- tom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. The Cuticura Reme- dies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, butof other complicated troubles as we'll and 1 have been the means of others being cured of the same disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and l don't hesitate in saying that Cuticura Resolvent is the best blood medicine that the world has ever known.

tive Dorman were included S5,OOO Win chester and Union Metallic cartridges, whicEl Taylor had taken from freight cars, and which he evidently intended to use in his business. Other articles were rolls of mems suitings, boxes of shoes and rubbers, ladies' wear, a bag of English walnuts, a number of bot ties of Duffy's pure malt whiskey, which were all that remained of four cases which he mad stolen; ten rugs, some Spaulding's baseball outfits, a box of horseshoe nails, two splendid gold mounted harnesses, a horse blanket be- longing to the Adams Express compa- ny, boxes of soap, a fur overcoat, and about all the other articles used by civ ilized man.
 Taylor made no attempt to make use of these articles for himself. He stole them all with the purpose of selling them. The detectives found his home poorly furnished, indeed. There were no carpets on the floor. A dilapidated stove, several chairs and beds were all that he found necessary in his house. keeping.
 Taylor has a wife and two children. His wife is sick in bed. His wife, it is said, has been trying for a long time to make Taylor give up his thieving operations, but in vain. The charges against ilim will be pushed vigorously. He will be taken to North Haven to- day to answer to a charge of breach of the peace brought against him by the authorities in that town. He was fined $25 in the city court here yester- day.

NELLIE, THE CLOAK MODEL
PLAYS TO CROWDED HOUSE AT
 NEW HAVEN THEATER.

Great Automobile Scene Takes House
 by storm-PIay Is Strong in Thrill
 ing Situations---Will be Repeated Again Tonight, Saturday Matinee
 and Evening.
 Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model" a melodrama of city life by Owen Davis opened at the New Haven theater last night. It was record house and the play made an appeal as only a ripping melodrama can. For the production of real enthusiasm it takes melodrama like Nellie" Every speech is good fo, cheer hiss, laugh, a groan of sympathy, as the case might be.
 The play is really a melodrama of city life, and in four acts and fifteen scenes the author has included the ac- ton of every character in that life from the millionaire to store porter. The climatic scene is the dash of an auto- mobile from the Williamsburg bridge, One instant huge red machine lunges onto the stage, loud explosion of a bomb and the machine is thrown from the roadway and disappears. The next instant the hero with Nellie in his arm is seen swimming in the water of East river. A police boat rescues the two and the gallery goes stark mad. tAll the scenes are cleverly worked out A sim pie list of them is impressive:
 The dining room of an up-to-date boarding house with an elevated rail road running in close proximity; cloak department of Fisher & Nelson's big store; the main floor of large de- partment store; exterior of private boat landing North river; deck of the yacht Lady Blrd;" exterior and interior of Haymarket dance hall; approach to the new Williamsburg bridge; the same bridge at midnight during a blinding snowstorm; the blowing up of an auto mobile; the dressing room of theatel with full view of the stage, during a performance, and Madison Square Gar. den during a masked roller skating carnival are all faithfully and carefully reproduced.
 Nellie the Beautiful Cloak Model, is to be given tonight and tomorrow night with a matinee tomorrow.

 by the drop, two years ago in the Den yer & Southern stock in which he had invested He also, it is believed, per- sonally lost heavily by the slump ir Consolidated Lake Superior stock. These losses. and the slump in value of trust funds for which he considered himself responsible, have preyed upon his health which has been poor for some months and possibly other per- sonal losses may have increased his despondency and caused him to resign. He leaves the bank with its funds wholly intact. His personal losses prob ably swept away his ownership of stock in the bank which would in- capacitate him from serving as di- rector or president. His uniform cour- tesy and affability brought quite an important increase of patrons to the bank and it is believed the directors to a man feel deep sympathy for him. When the fact of the serious losses to these trust funds became known the directors of the Tradesmens bank at once made careful personal inspec- tion and examination of the affairs of the bank and found every dollar of security and collateral intact and every penny of cash on hand, so that the bank is in no way a loser In order to have this fact vouched for Bank Ex- aminer Perkins was notified and his examination entirely verifies the direc- tors personal examination.
 The losses made by MT. Fields were | occasioned by the purchase of high priced securities which have shrunl5 greatly in value in the recent slump in the stock market. MT. Fields is making an effort to reimburse the estates in- volved and is in hopes he can do SO.
 The bank directors, yesterday after noon, issued the following statement:
