THAW VERDICT SOON End of Trial Heralded by Gall ing of First Alienist by
 Defense.
ANTHONY COMSTOCK HEARD
Elder Mrs. Thaw's Testimony Dis counted by Reading of Last
 Years Affidavit.

New York, Jan. 22.--The end of the second Thaw trial is fast approaching. This fact was indicated late to-day, when Dr. Charles G. Wagner, the first of the alienists to be called by the de- fense. took the stand for his prelimin- ary examination Anthony Comstock. vice. president of the society for the suppression of vice, had been heard as a witness earlier in the day and Mrs William Thaw, mother of the defend ant had completed her testimony. The Kindergarten teacher. who had charge of Harry Thaw as a lad of six also testified and the day marked long stride toward the conclusion of the eel ebrated case.
 MT. Comstock's testimony, while new, had been discounted by the known | facts of Thaw's appeal to him to assist in closing up the houses where Stan 1 ford White was alleged to have main- tained elaborately furnished apart ments and where young girls were said to have been mistreated. X dozen let | ters Thaw wrote to Comstock regard | ing the matter. and giving a detailed 1 description of the Twenty fourth street house were admitted in evidence and read to the jury District Attorney Jerome seemed as pleased as the de- fense with the letters and later in the 1 day read into the record himself most | of Mir. Comstock's replies to them.

FOUNDATION REPORT
Second Accounting Made in Carnegie Fund for Pensions
 by President Pritchett.
THREE NEW SHAREHOLD DERS
The Foundation is Entirely Undenom- inational-The Fund and its
 
 Accumulations.

The second report of the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of Teaching will be made public to-day. In 1t President Henry Smith Pritchett makes his report to the trustees and discusses from the experience of an officer of the Foundation, large num- Der Of important university and col lege questions. Yale, as one of the accepted institutions, receives much attention throughout the report.
 During the year three institutions were accepted as sharers in the retir- ing allowance system: Dickinson col lege, Randolph Macon Woman's col iege, and Bates college. Forty-three more have been considered of which r several will probably be admitted next rysear.s There are now 14S recipients of the Carnegie retiring allowance, of whom 133 are professors and Is are widows of professors. Since the inau. guration of the Foundation, that is, from September, 1905 to September, 1907. grants have been made to 166 per sons. for a total of s2S4,66o year Of this sum, sl46,150 went to the accepted institutions and sSS,51O to individuals. On, October 1, 1907, there were 14S liv- ing recipients. receiving s202,145 year distributed among S4 institutions. Eourteen colleges on the list had not presented a professor for retirement Two Yale professors-Prof. l.. o. Bras
 tow and Prof. Addison E. Verrill-went on the list last year.
 k The report states that there has been
 q marked diminution in the allowances granted to professors not in accepted | institutions, who, on account of age
 and merit, are given the benefit of the
 fund Enghteen such professors had
 been retired before october, 1906: since then. eight One reason for this de- crease is the policy adopted toward state institutions. over which there has been fine uproar during the past year Forty applica tienss came from such state universities and colleges. Five were granted allowances, after the ex- fecutive committee had limited such as. sistance to applicants of distinguished merit. The report says that 800 or more applications are on file but can

Consider
INEQUALITY

A good tree at a fair price Is
cheaper than tree of questionable
worth as a gift. The cost of tree
is not measured by the few cents
you first pay for it; the time spent
in bringing it into bearing and the
interest on your land are much
larger factors.
The trees we grow are superior
in every respect. Our Nursery Is
in the heart of the Yakima Reserva-
ton, isolated from old orchards or
forests, hence free from pest or
contamination. This with the ex-
ceedingly fertile virgin soil and
fine climate enables us to put on
the market trees not only clean and
healthy, but possessing splendid
root system that brings them into
early bearing, the prime essential
for the commercial orchardist.
If first-class quality, prompt serv-
ice, courteous treatment and a care
full, systematic handling of your or
ders are worth considering, we
want your business.
