young wife of the prisoner, may be
recalled as a witness for the state,
At the last hearing young Mrs. Thaw
testified that her husband threatened

and the state is using her testimony
as a strong point in it's argument
against ThaW's release.

Some of the advantages of a third

alton lighter on property owners. Cities
of the third class are also allowed
seven instead of five cOuncilmen and
the city clerk is elected by the people

Assistant Secretary of the Navy is Go
ing to Get His Sea Legs Too,

WASHINGTON. July 26-George Won
L. Meyer is evidently of the opinion
that the navy needs among other things
one able bodied sea- going secretary.
It's all very we'll to cruise on inland
highways in a forty horsepower run

the wiser about the manipulation of the

If the secretary of the navy is going
to stay at home and inspect navy yards
and stand between the line and staff

is no fleet except when it is far out of
the range of the navy yards. AS the
warrant officer said, she amt no fleet
when she's in port; she's just boats.
Secretary Meyer wants to know more
than "just boats" He is going to see
something of the fleet in order that he
may ask the sea- going officers what's
what in proper nautical language. To
this end he will take a cruise during
the maneuvers this summer if he>can
get away from his desk. Some of the
