SHERIFFS ARE TRUANT OFFICERS

Inc SnorlH is gong TO nave
all that he and his deputies can
do pretty soon. Under the law
as now IN force, since the recent
action of the legislature, the
sheriff and his deputies are con-
Stituted truant officers. II h g
county superintendent.of schools
is directed by the law to report
to the sheriff all the names of the
children of school age in the war;
ious school districts of the coun-
ty, who are attending schools.
These names are obtained in this
manner: There is an annual
school cen aus, showing the
names of all persons in the dis
trict of school age, then there
are the reports of the various
teachers made to the superin-
tendent soon after school opens,
with the names of the pupils en-
rolled. The county superlntend-
ent then certifies. to the sheriff
the names of the children who
appear in the census but are not
on the lists as enrolled in some
school. The sheriff is authoriz-
ed under the law to proceed
against the parents or guardians
of all such children. There are
hundreds of such cases in> the
country, and it will keep the of
ficers busy for time when coun-
ty uperintendents turn over to
them the lists of such children,
compiled from information now
in his hands. He will compare
these lists within a short time,
and turn them over to the sheriff,
as he is directed to do by law
Parents and guardians cannot
give the excuse that they can
not keep their children in school,
as When they give this excuse,
that they have no control over
their children, such children are
incorrigible, and committed to a
state school. Parents will there
fore have the choice of keeping
their children in school or sent
to an institution. There are
enough provisions to make the
new law an effective weapon in
the hands Of the county superin-
tendent and sheriff to compel
the school attendance Of all
children of school age in the var
ious districts of the county

corteIyou Denies Report That He In
tends to Resign.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Secretary
Cortelyou is again at his desk. At
the, White House it was said posi-
lively that nothing whatever was
known as to the secretary's reported
proposed resignation. -
Secretary Cortelyou's appearance at
the department was for the first time
since his recent illness, which began
about four weeks ago. He said the
published story that he had resigned
Or would resign was absolutely with
out foundation. He had had no seri.
GUS differences with the president, he
declared, or with any member of the
cabinet and he expected to continue
to serve as secretary of the treasury
Mr., Cortelyou pronounced the story
that he had been offered the presi-
dency of the Knickerbocker Trust
company of New York as false and
said also that the published report
that he has conferred with J. P. Nor.
gan In regard to it during his recent
trip to New York was a fake" in
every particular.

New York, Jan. 16.-Many wit
nesses entirely new to the case testi-
fed at the trial of Harry K. Thaw
and told stories of his eccentricities
during years Immediately preceding
the killing of Stanford White. They
all declared he impressed them as
being irrational. The most interest
Ing testimony was that of christopher
Baggan, steward of the New York
Whist club, who told of Thaw's do
ings the day Of the tragedy, and who,
under cross-examination by District
Attorney Jerome, gave amusing de-
tails of whist games in which Thaw
and several men Of prominence par
ticipated. T S r
DR.. Horatius w. Wood of Philadel-
phia was the first witness DR.. Wood
some years ago made an examination
of Harriet Alice Thaw, relative of
the defendant. = District Attorney
Jerome objected ito the physicians
testimony, but was overruled by the
court, as the relations between physi-
clan and patient did not exist in this
case. DR.. Wood said that Miss Thaw
was of unsound mind. : "
The next witness to be heard told
of new eccentricities of lThaw just
before the killing of Stanford White.
He was Christopher Baggan, a stew
ard of the New York Whist club.
ThaW was in the club on June 20,
1905, just five days before the. roof
garden tragedy. Although the day
was hot Thaw insisted on taking a
screen with him wherever he went
about the rooms. He was highly nerv-
GUS, excitable and irritable and once
as he passed the witness was mutter-
ing ''This is awful

to him and asked him to have a
package put in the safe.
What was in the package?" asked
Mr.. Littleton

Thaw's eyes, the witness said, had
a peculiar stare. A telephone message
came for him and when the witness
touched him to attract his attention

ROBBERY THE MOTIVE.
Wealthy Young Banker Murdered
Near ArdsIey, N. Y.

Wealthy Young Banker Murdered
Near ArdsIey, N. Y.
New York, Jan. 16.-Another muir
der in Westchester county is puzzling
the authorities. The body of Frank
Nunno, a wealthy young banker, was
found beside his wagon on a lonely
road near Ardsley. He had been
stabbed in the neck, evidently after
a fierce struggle. He had large sum
of money when he left Ardsley and
that as we'll as his watch was gone
when his body was found. The au-
thorities believe that he was killed by
the same gang which murdered
young insurance agent near Elmsford
two weeks ago and has robbed several
postofaces in this county.
