IRRATIONAL As A BOY.
Former Teacher Of Harry Thaw
Tells of His Queer DOings.
COMPLAINED TO HIS MOTHER
Letter Written by Parent More Than
Twenty-Five Years Ago Expressed
the Fear That Her Boys Mind Was
Unbalanced.

New York, Jan. 17.-More evidence
as 10 alleged irrational condition on
the part of the defendant was offered
at the trial of Harry K. Thaw, the
most impressive witness being Abra-
ham Il. Beck, an uncle of former AS
sistart Attorney General James NJ.
Beck The elder Mr.. Beck taught a
select school of fifteen boys in Penn
sylvania in 1881 and 1882 and young
Thaw was one of his pupils. Mr..
Beck described Thaw as boy of un-
goVernable temper. He produced a
letter from Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother, who said in it that she feared
that Harrys mind was unbalanced. He
was so different from her other four
children.
One of Mr.. Thaw's eccentricities,
which, it is said, soon will be testified
10, was the sending of eighty-four
pounds OF beef to Evelyn Nesbit one
morning when she was ill. The attor.
neys have the receipts for the meat.
Raymond A. Brown, a music pub
Stanford White, testified to Thaw's
irrational appearance ON the roof gar
den. Brown said he knew Thaw per-
sonally and spoke to him during an
intermission in the performance, but
could not get coherent reply.
Did you ever try TO get a coherent
reply from any other man twenty
Ypf hn hn nf n
fellow human being?" asked District
Attorney Jerome.
'No, replied the witness.
Abraham r. Beck of Lancaster
county. Pa, uncle of former Assist
ant Attorney General James NJ. Beck,
was called as the next witness. He
said that Harry Thaw was one of if
teen boys in his school in 1881 and
1882. The memory of the boy had
always lived with him, said the wit
ness.
THE boy was excessively nervous" !"
said Mr.. Beck, land was very unsocial,
sullen and distracted. His eyes were
most striking. One of the principal
things / remembered about young
Thaw were the spasmodic and
startling outbursts of animal like
howls. These howls would stop as
suddenly as the turning off of foun-
tain"
Letter From Tnaw's Mother.
Mr.. Beck identified a letter he had
received from Mrs. William Thaw,
the mother of Harry, about the boys
conduct at school, and it was read to
the jury. The letter was dated Oct.
rs, 1881, and was in reply to COM
munication from Mr.. Beck complain
ing of Harry's conduct. The letter
speaks of the distress the communica-
ton caused the parent and the mother
expresses a horrible feeling of dread
that Harry's mind is unbalanced, as
his actions are similar to that of an
uncle who became weak minded.
Mr.. Beck said he had had many
years of experience in teaching and
training boys, but Thaw's conduct was
different from any he had ever known.
Il couldn't help but think him IRA
tional," declared the witness
Mr.. Beck is now seventy-nine years
of age. His testimony was impressive
and District Attorney Jerome asked
but one or two questions on cross,
examination.
Annie Baggan, a sister of Chris
topher Pagan and housekeeper at the
Whist club, told of several instances
of what she termed irrational conduct
on the part of Thaw.

TRIES GAME ON ROOSEVELT.
French Soldier Punished for Attempt
at Blackmai.

Bordeaux, Aug. 28.-An extraordi-
nary story was told at the court mar
tial today, of member of the military
ambulance corps, Camille Marquet,
who was charged with attempting to
blackmail President Roosevelt. Ac-
cording to the evidence before the
court, Marquet wrote to the president
on January 8, demanding on behalf of
my society,"" without other specifica-
ton, "$2, 900 on account of services
rendered during the presidential cleo
tion," and promising further i'm
mense help"
Receiving no reply to this demand,
Marquet wrote again on March g.,
threatening a scandal (which will cast
dishonor upon the whole family unless
the money is forthcoming at fixed
date. In conclusion the writer said
'The highest heads are no longer
safe on their shoulders; look at Portu-
GAL"
The president handed the letters to
the French consul general, who com
municated with the French police.
Marquet was brought up for court
martial, but the court, in consideration
of the good character of the youth,
sentenced him to six days imprison-
ment, giving him the benefit of the
first offenders law.

POSTPONE EXPOSITION.
Japanese Public Clamoring Agains
Vast EXPENSE.

Toxic, Aug. 27.-The unpopularity
of President Kaneko, of the Toxic ex-
position, has caused difficulties which
may result in the postponement of the
great exposition, which is now set for
1912.
The people are clamoring against the
methods of Kaneko in spending great
sums OF government money and the re-
ports of the postponement have been
so frequent that today the minister of
agriculture and commerce found it ne
cessary to issue a formal denial. He
said the exposition would be held at
the time set, but even this assurance
is not sufficient to quiet the reports.
The strained industrial and financial
situation in Japan is the matter upper
most in the minds of most of the peo-
pie and there is widespread feeling
that the government chose poor time
to go to the enormous expense of hold
ing the first great worlds fair in the
Orient.

BARS NATIvEsoRN.
San francisco School Board Shuts
Door on Chinese.

San Francisco. Aug. 3I-City At
torney Long has furnished the board
of education an opinion dealing with
the question of the admissibility OF
native-born Chinese children to pub
lie schools other than schools estab-
lished for them. In brief, he holds
that the question Of nativity has no
bearing on the case; that Chinese
children are Mongolians, irrespective
of birthplace, and that if special
schools OF equal standing are not pro-
vided for them, they are entitled to
attend any school The opinion is
given IN response to query from the
board OF education with reference to
the request OF the parents Of three
native-born Chinese maidens who
wished their daughters TO attend
schools other than the Oriental
school.
The political code provides that
every school shall be open for the
admission OF all children between o
and 81 years OF age, residing in the
district. This section also authorizes
boards Of education to establish sep
arate schools for Indian, Chinese or
Monaghan children. and provides that
when such schools are established,
such children must not be admitted
to any other school.
The object Of the law is clearly to
segregate the white children Of the
public schools from those of Mon
goian or Indian descent, and is not
to deny the latter any Of the equal
rights guaranteed by the constitution

LARGE MOB BILL.
Springfield Victims Begin Their Suits
Against City.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 29.-The wife
.of Scott Burton, the first negro
lynched in the recent riots here, has
made no attempt to settle with the
city for the death of her husband
heretofore, but today filed suit for
the $4,000 which the law allows to
he heirs of persons who are killed by
mobs. 1t is announced also that a
similar suit will be filed by the heirs
of William Donnegan, another negro
who was lynched.
The heirs of four other negroes
killed during the rioting cannot OBJ
tain the money because they were
killed by stray bullets or in open bat
tie, and were not slain by the mob
Property owners continue to file
suits for damages against the city, and
he sum of the claims already made
is over $4,000.
1t is expected that these cases will
be given preference in the courts and
will receive quick action. The gen
,ral sentiment among the citizens is
that the survivors of the families Of
the mob victims should be paid at
once and that the city should pay for
the damage done by the rioters
