 FOR PETE DAVE
As Oyster Ground Commis- Sioner He Can Row Over to Point-No-Point and
 Gaze on the Sad Sea Waves.
Important Recognition From Mayor Lee As Balm to Peters Wounded FeelingS-BrOther Sam to the Res cue-Harmony Now Restored in Republican Ranks.

FeeunSS@BrOtner sam to the Res.
 cue-Harmony Now Restored in
 Republican Ranks.
 MT. Peter Dave of the Tenth dis trict, who expected to have the Mayor appoint him a member of the Perma- nent Paving Commission, has been honored by Mayor Lee in recognition of his many years of service in the ranks of the Republican party. He has been appointed member of the Oyster Ground committee at asalary of s3 jer day when he works. But none of the members of the committee have been known to work during the past ten years. It is understood that Peter owes the position to the influence Of his brother, Samuel Dave, the former Police Commissioner.
 MT. Peter Dawes appointment is to fill the unexpired term caused by the death of Major w. w. Starr. The term expires the first of next January. MT. Dave was a candidate for Alder man once, then it was talked of as a member of the Police Commission, and it is understood that his friends insisted that he should go on the Per manent Pavement Commission.
 Since he was turned down it has looked as though MT. Dawes rela- tions with his party would be severely strained until the Mayor announced today his appointment to the Oyster Ground Commission, the joke commis- sion of the city. Of course 1t is not much of a job since the State Shell Fish Commission does the work Qf the city's committee. But MT. Dave cares not for money. He wanted recognd- ton and he has got 1t. Samuel Dave was asked today how he managed to pull the wires in his brothers behalf. He declined to be interviewed.

THAW AND JEROME
 SIT SIDE BY SIDE
Chatting and Smiling To- gether Over Testimony
 at Insanity Hearing.
HARRY MADE MANY MARKS
Especial from United Press.)

White Plains. N. T., July 26.-The hearing of the case to test the sanity of Harry tx. Thaw, by which the slay- CT of Stanford White hopes to effect | his release from Matteawan Asylum was resumed before Justice Mills here to-day. The courtroom was crowded. it being expected that Thaw himself would take the stand to-day. The ma- and most of them young. District At torney Jerome, whose efforts put Thaw in the asylum for the criminal insane, was on hand. bringing with him a voluminous bundle of documents by which he hopes to defeat Thaw's move for freedom.
 Charles MorScha user, attorney for Thaw, did not know this morning whether Thaw would take the stand to-day or not There are several wit nesses besides the experts yet to be heard before Thaw is called to the stand.
 ,Thaw spent the early hours to-day-ip private with his relatives and lawyer fdiscussing the entry of Jerome into the case and planning the conduct of the prisoner on the stand under Jerome s cross examination. When the court was called to order. Jerome made it clear that he was in entire charge of the case for the state.
  able to secure the records of the Thaw murder trial. Jerome declared the re- cords were interlined with his own notes and he did not intend to turn them over to Thaw's lawyers but said he would send for an extra copy from his office in New York.
 Morchauser then called Dr. H. Ernst Schmid of White Plains as his first witness. Schmid said he had visited Thaw every day since July 8 for a couple of hours at the White Plains jail. He said a physical examination showed Thaw to be normal He de- tailed the examination to which he had subjected Thaw.
 While this was going on Thaw ard Jerome sat side by side at the counsel table chatting and smiling together and laughing at some of Schmid's test fmony. Even as he talked with Jerome. Thaw continued to make notes to hand Morschauser.
 Thaw is sane now" Dr. Schmid said in answer ito a question. Dr. Schmid said positively Thaw is not suffering from Paronia at the present time and that from his examination of the prisoner, he did not believe he had ever suffered from that form of insaf- describing Exelyn,s experience at the hands of White as Thaw trans mitted it to him Schmid was turned over to Jerome for cross ss-examination Jerome made Schnlid review the en- tire clinical history of the case and revealed that Schmid's diagnosis was founded. almost entirely on Thaw's physical condition and upon what Thaw had told him.
