EVELYN REPEATS IT ALL
But Her Testimony Lacks the tn
terest Of a Year Ago.
THAW URGED A SUICIDE PACT
Suggested That He and Sire Take
Lsudnun Together--Jeroras is
MercIlsss Toward Witness

New York, Jan 2l--Evelyn Nesbit
Thaw repeated yesterday from the
witness stand the story which Dis.
trict Attorney Jerome has character
lied as too bad for the public eye. The
telling Of this story in Paris, in 1903,
is assumed TO have precipitated the
tottering mind OF Harry Thaw into
that irresponsible mental state which
eliminated in the Staying Of Sanford
White.
1t was substantially the same story
she had told year ago, except for
one or two addenda in which she mar
rated how Harry Thaw, in the winter
of 1904, when he and she were to-
gether under assumed names in the
Grand Hotel in this city, had tried TO
make with her a sucidepact. He sug-
gested that. as neither had anything
to live Tor. they should hire a room in
the Waldorf-Astoria and take laudnum
together. Evelyn, being more Of an
optimist than he. succeeded In taking
him to dinner and afterward to the
theatre instead Of to the rendezvous
of death.
Some weeks later on the European
tour he informed her one day n their
hotel in Paris that he had ended II all
by swallowing poison She doubted t,
but he directed her to the empty bot
tie of laudnum. and she found it. H.
ness relieved Thaw but a physician,
whose name Evelyn could not recall,
was summoned in haste and remain
ed with the patient she thought, for
as much as a half hour

story Matched In paris.

Paris Jan. 2t.--The report from
Rio de Janiero of an anarchistic plot
against the American fleet appears to
be another chapter of a fwierd story,
which has obtained circulation. Many
have dismissed the whole affair as q
myth. However. as matter OF album
dant precaution, the essential points
81 the story were made known
through official channels to the au-
fhorfties ait Washington and Rio de
Janiero, and out of this doubtless the
action OF the Rio de Janiero police has
grown.
A young man OF good family resid-
ing here says he overheard snatches
of a telephone conversation, in which
vague references were made to the
cruise and Of plans concerning the
fleet which we're being Matched at a
certain cafe. OF a Sherlock Holmes
disposition the young man communi-
Gated his information TO an American
official Of Paris, and also established
surveillance Of the caft It Is said
that the observations Of the cafe dis
closed suspicious characters holding
mysterious meetings Their move
ments are said to have been traced
and their plans in part learned as TO
the shipment of explosives to Brazil.
When these persons We're surprised
they are said to have shown fight, and
in the scrimmage, the young man says
he snatched portion OF the paper
over which they were porting, contain
ing the cebalist'c words 'mehaced de-
stroy." supposed TO mean III menaced
destroy"
Meantime the official to whom the
young man had confided the secret
made inquiries as to the shipment OF
explosives to Brazil This inquiry APP
pears TO give some color to the story
FIR It showed that small steamer dis
cussed by the suspects had actually
sailed from North German po with
certain boxes which were at least
open to suspicion The destination
OF the steamer was Rio. where her ar.
arrival early in December was also
established. This appeared to fit in
with the disclosures at the cafe and
with the cabalistic writing, which is
said to have shown that the rlotters

island as their base OF opera ions.

Currency vs. Banking Methods.

From The Currency Problem" by
John Paul Ryan, in the February Met
ropolitan Magazine:
1t is easy to see that the problem
before congress is tremendous one
and the banking fraternity will be a
power in facilitating the enactment OF
a proper measure Of currency reform.
1t remains to be seen whether that
power will be welded for the general
good or the specific benefit OF the
banks themselves. The question IS
whether profit or necessity will die
tate the character of the reform
which is sought to be accomplished.
There is good ground for hope that
the banks will take au unselfish posi-
ton. a fact indicated by the approval
OF the central bank idea, which would,
in measure. curtail the powers and
profits of many of the big banks of
the present time, some of which aim
to the dominant power In the bank
ing world.
Currency reform may be accom-
plished and 1t may not, but the presi-
dent and the secretary of the treasury
have had an opportunity to develop
the real facts Of the situation which
should facilitate the selection of the
remedy.

Beauty in School Architecture.

Criticism Is frequently made that
too much money is spent upon school
buildings in the way of unnecessary
ornamentation.
We know Of no single city in the
United States that has ever regretted
the erection of a schoolhouse that
was beautiful from an architectural
point of view Such buildings have
always become the pride Of the COM
munity and have added to the prestige
and, indirectly if not directly, to the
material welfare of the city.-School

Too Crazy, Delnas Thought.

When Mr.. Jerome. in cross-examina.
ton, asked the witness: did YOU tell
us turing the former trial anything
about this attempted suicide Of
Thaw's?" The witness flashed back
at him before he could stop he~, "No.
| did not; Mr.. Delmas said II would
make him out too crazy"
Apart from these novea features
Eyelyn's story fell short OF the inter-
est with which it was heard one year
ago, In the respect Of secret stair
ways, doors that clicked and opened
of their own accord, mirror-lined
rooms and other mysteries, 1t lacked
little of its former embellishments
but, after all, it was tw.ceto,d tale
and it palled upon even the listener.
OF the immediate members Of the
Thaw family the defendants brother,
Josiah Thaw. was tho only one who
heard it told.
Harry Thaw talked with his coun-
sci, Messrs. OReilly and Peabody,
while his wife described the attempt
ed suicide. He showed more ANNA
'tion throughout the davis session than
en- any previous day throughout the
trial. frequently attempting to openly
maintain communication with his wife
on the witness stand by jerlSy affirma-
tive or negative mods of his head. AS
she told the most unspeakable por-
tons of her recital Thaw bowed his
head in a handkerchief. which he
c'utched in his long bony fingers, but
he showed no emotion or tremor and
sat throughout it all as dry-eyed as
did the fitness herself. Inexplicable
as it seemed there were several pas
sages in her narrative which caused
her husband to smile behind his hand
kerchief in evident amusement.

PLAN TO IMPROVE
RIVERSIDE LAID
BEFORE OFFICERS

An unique plan to raise funds for
the improvement of facilities at Riv-
erside hospital was laid before the
hospital board this afternoon by the
league for the aid and benefit of the
hospital. The plan is to secure sub
scribers, at a nominal amount each,
to fund. allowing each contributor
the privilege of using a room in the
hospital at any time he may be sick.
receiving hospital care free, being
out only the expense of a physician.
The matter was suggested to Mayor
Smith and he called the board to con-
slider the plan.
The board of directors of Riverside
hospital and other physicians of the
city were at a meeting to discuss a
plan of Mrs. c. e. Purcell The plan
is TO secure 100 people. who would
be willing TO pay So each and funa
OF $500 would be secured. Should
Amy person of the 100 become i'll
during the year the hospital league,
which would direct the use of the
fund, would pay the persons hospital
bill. There were several discussions
pro and con, but the opinion was
prevalent that IS was too low, and
that it should be s25. Another plan
that was discussed was the issuance
of tickets to be sold for s25. The
plan is for the Improvement of the
hospital, and it is the intention should
a surplus be left at the end of the
year for the money to be used for
the Improvement of the hospital.
