THAW TO STAY AT JAIL
But Frequent Vacation Trips Arc
 Likely to Be Blocked.

Poughkeepsie, N. T.. Sept. 3.--Al- though an application to remove liar " K. Thaw from the Duchess county Jail here to some other institution was denied to-day, yet 1t may have the effect of stopping the frequent trips to Fishkill Landing in the pro- ce sdings before referee, which have been the source of so much annov- ance to Sheriff Robert W. Chanler, while they have provided the pris- oner with no little divirsion.
 The application was made by Ed ward E. Perkins. counsel for Sheriff Chanler, before Supreme Court Justi ,e Morschauser. It was based on the report of an inspection made by the secretary of the state prison com mission, and was supported by an affidavit of the sheriff that the jail is not a suitable place for the con- iinement of Thaw as an insane per son. In reply Thaw's counsel argued that the report of the state prison inspector was without effect inasmuch as Thaw had been committed by the supreme court.

FIRE HORSES TO 60 In Short Time Will Be Super seded by Automobile
 Truck. EXHIBITIONS AT COLUMBUS Chief Fancher, Recently There, Says Advent of Auto Truck Is
 Inevitable.

That the automobile fire truck Is the coming thing Is the sentiment evinced by Chief Fanoher of the local fire de- pertinent, who returned on Saturday from the convention of fire chiefs, which was held at Columbus Ohio, last week While the convention was in ses- sion runs were made by automobile trucks, chemicals engines and wagons.
 The surprise of the session, however, was an exhibition run made by the only automobile hook and ladder truck In the world. The truck is the work of the Seagrave Go. of Columbus, ohlo, and weighs close on to seven tons. The exhibition run of three miles coupled with the raising of 75-foot ladder by automatic power was accomplished in seven minutes and fl seconds. The speed of the truck was estimated as between 40 and 50 miles an hour. A Webb combination fire engine and hose wagon, also propelled by motor power, made the three-mile run in six min utes and Il seconds, by which time it was pumping a stream of water
 At 10 o'clock on Wednesday morning of the convention week m automobile combination chemical engine and hose wagon made by the Webb Motor Fire Apparatus company, which was driven all the way from vineennes, Ind. ar rived at Columbus. The machine start cd from vincennes at g o'clock Tues day morning, and as the driver and his assistant lay over six hours during the night. the trip was made in 10 hours. IL was claimed the trip was 80 miles over country roads and the machine was in good condition on It's arrival.
 Not the slightest particle of trouble was experienced In the tests, which were attended by large crowds.
 Chief Fancher says on the matter: "It is only question of q short time before the automobile fire apparatus will be used throughout the country. No trouble developed at the exhihi- tions at Columbus and I predict that the automobile fire truck is the com ing thing"
 Ex-Chief Hendrlck when seen said: While l was not present at the con- vention 10 witness the exhibition nevertheless I have foresight enough to know that the auto fire truck has got to come"
 The convention was very largely at- tended and Chief Fancher reports 1t the most successful he ever witness ed The following officers of the asso- ciation were elected for the ensuing year: President Philmore Tyson of Louisville. Ky; first vice president, George W. Horton of Baltimore, Md second vice president, John Thompson of Toronto, Canada; secretary, James M. F. Fall of Roanoke, Va. and treas urer, Daniel c.

CHESTER JORDAN ADMITS

Boston, Sept. 3.--The most brutal crime committed in Greater Boeton since the death of Susan Geary, a ohor- us girl, four years ago, and one much resembling 1t In It's details. was dls- closed tonight by the discovery of the torso of Mrs. Honorah Jordan, an ac- tress aged 25 years of somerville, In q trunk In boarding house at [ Hancock street, on Beacon Hill, this city.

 Chester Jordan aged 20 years. an actor of 50e A Medford street, somer- ville is held by the police charged with the murder and tonight, according 10 the officers he made full and com plete confession of the crime.
 According 10 Jordans confession he accidentally killed hls wife Tuesday night in q quarrel at their home and becoming desperate over what he had done, he went out and bought butch CTS knife and hacksaw, cut up the body and placed the torso In trunk. He then planned to take the steamer Harvard which was scheduled to leave last night for New York and throw the parts of the body over board The fact that the Harvard was laid off ow- ing to an accident dlsarranged his plans and he was obliged 10 hire a hackman to take the trunk to a Bos- ton boarding house to await a more favorable opportunity.
 The discovery of the crime was due to the suspicious of the hackman, George W. Collins, who had in mind the numerous robberies which have taken place in and about Boston re- gently, and surmising from Its weight that the trunk he was carting about contained silverware, notified the po- lice of Station early this afternoon
 Sergeant Michael Crowley was de- tailed to go to the Hancock street house and investigate. When he reached the house Jordan was order cd to open the trunk.
 Jordan did not appear nervous or alarmed but hesitated to open the trunk, and 1t was not until liter con siderable argument on the part of the officer that he produced the key to the trunk, and inserted it In the lock.
 Turning his head Jordan threw IF the cover of the trunk and then sank back on his knees, hurying his face In his hands and sobbing.
 Jordan submitted without protes to the handcuffs and was led to sta. tion 3 and locked up. Giving his namt and address he declared the body ir the trunk was that of his wife, ant

CURED ITCHING
 PAINFUL HUMOR
Which had Spread Over Face, Body and Arms T SweI|ings were as Large as a Dollar = When they Broke, Sores would Not Heal Suffered 3 Years.
MADE SOUND AND WELL
 BY 3 SETS OF CUTICURA

My trouble began about three years ago with little black swellings scattered over my face and neck. They would disappear but they would leave little black scars that would itch at times so 1 couldn't keep from scratching them. Larger swellings would appear in the same place and they were 30 painful I could hardly bear 1t and my clothes would stick to the sores. The first doctor I went to said the disease was scrofula, but the trouble only got worse and spread. By this time it was all over my arms and the upper part of my body in big swellings as large as dollar. It was so painful that could not bear to lie on my back at night. The second doctor pronounced my disease inham- nation of the lymphatic glands. He stopped the swellings. but when they would break the places would not heal. He tried everything that he could but to no effect. He said might be cured but it would take long time. l bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies and used them according to directions and in less than week some of the places were nearly well. I continued with the Cuti- cura Remedies until had used three sets, and now am sound and well. He ulSedSe laSUeu three years rom the time 1t commenced until I was cured. Before Christmas something broke out on my seven year old brothers hands in the form of large sores. l tried every thing could think of but to no effect until l happened to think of Cuticura and one application cured him. Also, not long ago, my sister got bad burn on her ankle. I have been using Cuti- cura on that and 1t gave her scarcely any trouble. 0. l.. Wilson, Puryear. Tenn, Feb. 8, 100S.'
