ThaW Loses His Composure
Under HeckIing of Jerome

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Confronted with
a hundred evidences of his abnormal con-
duct. Harry X. Thaw's supreme self-con-
fidence gave way yesterday before the
quiet, persistent prodding of District At
torney Jerome.
His flushed face. surly manner and ex-
IRENE nervousness were apparent all
through the four and a half hours he
spent on the witness stand and were a
strange contrast to his self-possession
and nonchalance of Wednesday.
At one time, when Mr.. Jerome forced
him TO identify in rapid succession a
number of letters addressed to Evelyn
Thaw bearing pen and Ink sketches,
Thaw showed resentment which almost
drove him to a personal controversy with
his inquisitor.
The district attorney followed up this
advantage by producing ream after ream
of Thaw'S writings, the results of his lit
erary labors in the Tombs. In them ne
depicted Stanford White. his victim, as a
red gorilla" a dragon and ''srisly
monster" Himself he identified with ST.
Michael. st. George. David, who slew
Goliath. and other biblical or romantic
heroes.
whats the UseP" Thaw Protests.
Thaw recognized the force of all this
material of his own production as tend
ing to indicate disordered mind, and
as he read it over perspiration stood out
on his forehead and his prominent eyes
roamed everywhere.
Finally he blurted out:
"Oh, what's the use of dwelling on all
this rubbish You've got plenty of other
material to examine me about. Let's
drop this"
But the district attorney forced him to
Iir,x f10 tcl,r &.
was apparent to everybody in the court
room that Thaw was on the verge of a
nervous outbreak. Jerome then permit
ted him to have rest by asking him to
read over to himself some twenty-seven
pages of newspaper clippings and notes
Thaw had prepared when in the Tombs.
This breathing spell gave the witness a
chance partly to recover his composure,
and he was plainly grateful for the
respite. But he was unable to conceal his
delight when Jerome. as the adjournment
hour arrived. announced that he was
practically through with Thaw's cross
examination. except for a few questions
which might develop overnight.
Two Notable Developments.
Two notable things marked the days
proceedings besides the discomposure of
Thaw. Mrs Merrill, who told Tuesday
of Thaw's practice of whipping women,
admitted that Stanford White was also a
visitor at her house. This caused a stir
in the courtroom. but it was as nothing
to the excited murmurings when Evelyn
Thaw, sitting in the courtroom facing
her husband. passed to Jerome hatpin
the butt of which showed the carved
head of dog with a jeweled collar.
The pin was a present from Thaw to
her and Jerome demanded of him if the
butt had not been the head of a dog
whip. Thaw hesitated, wondered where
Jerome got it. and then declared he did
not remember clearly. but thought the
carved head had previously formed the
handle of parasol. The smallness of the
butt made this answer seem ridiculous.

SOME FINE JELLIEs.
CuIrant Jelly.

Cover the fruit with water and
heat it slowly in a porcelain lined
kettle until the currants may be
mashed or broken. Pour them into
straining bag and allow the juice to
drop into a jar or crock. Do not
squeeze the fruit. Squeezed fruit or
juice will not make clear jelly, but
may be used for jam. Allow a scant
cupful of granulated sugar to each
large cupful of juice. Heat the sugar
in oven, leaving door ajar if oven is
hot. Boil the juice just 90 minutes
by the clock, removing scum as it
arises. When the juice has boiled
brlskly for 90 minutes pour in the
sugar, let it come to boil. then re-
move the kettle instantly from the
fire and pour into glasses. The cur
rant can be put hot into quart jar
and sealed up, and it will keep for
several months.

NO FIRE TRAP HERE IN SCHOOL

That the school buildings of
this city are not fire traps and
rank far above hundreds of

titled, .'Children In Peril, Some
Public School Buildings Which
Are Fire Traps
The magazine announces that 1t
has received reports on the condition
of school buildings in about two
hundred large towns and cities of the
country and these reports are given
in Good Housekeeping. Many pic
lures illustrating the fire traps in
many of the buildings are given to
illustrate the article. School buildings
in such cities as Pittsburg, Houston,
Texas, Omaha, Neb.. are branded as
fire traps.
Under a heading, No Fire Traps
Here" at the end of the article, this
statement is made:
Our Investigations in the follow
ing cities and towns have very thor
oughly examined the school build
ings and the methods of protection
from fire and they report that dan
ger from this source has been reduc-
ed to minimum. We take special
