New York, Jan. 23.-Anthony Com
stock, vice-president of the Society for
the Suppression of Vice. was the prin-
cipal witness at the trial of Harry *.
Thaw Wednesday. He testified that
late in 1904 Thaw came to him and
complained of vicious practices by
Stanford White and several of Whites
friends. During the year that fol-
lowed Thaw wrote to him several
times and was a frequent visitor at
the vice-president's headquarters. Let
tiers were read in evidence. They
gave the names of the alleged victims
of White in the famous studio and re-
ferred to White as "the blackguard."
The house, Thaw declared, was con-
secrated to orgies and controlled by
six or seven criminal scoundrels."
The letters were new evidence in
the case, but were mentioned at the
last trial when Dr. Evans was telling
what Thaw had said to him of his
efforts to have Stanford White sent
to the penitentiary.
Il did not want to kill the beast"
said Thaw at that time, but | did
want to have him brought to court and
have his acts known. Providence in
tervened, however. 1t was an act of
Providence"
Mrs. VIM. Thaw, the mother, was
recalled to conclude her testimony
begun last week. Mrs. Thaw told of
waking up one night shortly before
Harry's birth and finding that her
eldest child, an infant was dead in
her bed. The nervous shock was so
severe, she declared, that for more
than seven months she scarcely slept
at ALL AS an infant, Harry Thaw
suffered the most remarkable sleep
ness she had ever known in child.
He was nervous and instead of sleep
ing at night would insist on being
propped up to sitting posture in bed,
his eyes having a wide-awake express
sion.

FOR PERMANENT EXHIBIT.
First Steps Taken Yesterday to Sc

Fine Display.

Manager John Fl. Whyte, Of the
Astoria Chamber OF Commerce, held
an Internal talk with the County
Court yesterday afternoon, in regard
TO securing quarters for the perma.
nent county exhibit il is proposed tc
maintain here.
The court acquiesced in the use o
the court house basement for sucl
purposes, but made no regular order
in the matter, and will not until the
floor OF the basement shall have beer
cemeted. Then it is conceded the ex-
hibit may be lodged and maintained
there, under certain rules and condi-
tons t. be arranged later between the
court and Manager Whyte.
The nucleus of the display will be
made from the Clatsop exhibit at the
State Fair last fall, and this will be
augmented steadily, from time to time
and from all sources, as notable con.
tribu,ions shall drift in to swell the
scheme OF exploitation.
Grasses, fruits, woods, flowers

find their own especial nook in this
display and it should be made one o
the graphic and leading features o

the north) and will form a part OF
New York City's elaborate driveway
and park system on the bank OF the
Hudson. the Riverside Drive. The
object Of the bridge, to serve as
monument of an important historical
event, calls for monumental struc-
ture, OF course. and every endeayor
was made in the design To fulfill this
need According to the plans sub
mitted TO the Art Commission the
arch has open spandrels, except near
the crown. The concrete ring Is 725
feet in span between centers Of skew
backs or 703 fee, in the clear, with a
ccnter.io-center rise OF l77 feet. IL
is a massive concrete rib 20 feet wide,
with a crown thickness OF Is feet and
thickness at skcwbacks OF 28 feet.
The rib is shaped to fit the possible
pressure lines SO closely that tension
can never occur in any part OF the
ring. The immense dead weight
makes the influence OF livcload almost
negligible, and the possible effects to
temperature variation, etc, are rela-
lively small Steel reinforcing ribs
are built in. however, primarily, TO
reduce the comprcssiyc stress on the
concrete or lin another rcspect) se-

even remotely approaching in magni-
tude the proposed span. The Grun-
wald bridge over the Isar at Munich
Germany, 230 feet in span, is tht
largest completed concrete arch. The
Walnut Lane concrete arch bridge
Philadelphia, now being built, has
slightly larger span, 233 feet between
faces of abutments. These spans be
come insignificant, even trivial, whei
compared with that now proposed TO

excluding special ornamental features
is estimated at $3,SO0,000. About one
