Y. M. (. A. Night School
 Planning Work for 1910

The Educational Department of the Y. M. c. A. is planning for a big year in the night school and is advertising for moIe teachers. L4ast year some radical changes were made in the working policy of the school. The students were handled in smaller groups. The men were separated from the boys. The equipment was improved and all miscellaneous supplies were furnished by the school. The instruc- tfon was made more practical and was placed under the supervision of a trained specialist who devoted all of his time to teaching and supervision. The students were carefully graded and given what experience had demon strated that they needed. The resu was that the work interested and held the 1855 students enrolled as never be- fore, some of the groups continuing into the hot weather of June. A large number of these old students are com ing back this year for advanced work and the prospect for new pupils is very bright. The strongest possible men are desired for teachers and the association is looking for them in good season.

JEROME MAY KEEP THAW ON STAND
 FOR WHOLE WEEK
By William Travers Jerome, fo1 tha IInite<d I2r.aSs !

(By William Travers Jerome, for
 the United Press.)
 My examination of Harry K.
 Thaw has just begun. I propose
 to question, him closely on every
 detail of his trials for the killing
 of Stanford White and if neces-
 sary, on every detail of the 38
 years of his life. I shall settle once
 and for all the question of his san
 ity if I have to keep him on tho stand for week.
 (By Harry K. Thaw, for the
 United Press.)
 I am confident I can withstand
 any cross-examination of Jerome.
 Yesterday proved that, think.
 don't care how long he keeps me
 there. I am satisfied can prove to Justice Mills that I am abso-
 lutsly sane. This is my first op-
 portunity to do anything for my
 self in my battle for life and lib-
 erty which has lasted for three
 years and am glad to get it.
 Court House, White Plains, N. r., July 29.-A sane man and a legally insane man fought battle here yes- Harry Thaw, jubilant over his victory yesterday faced the jury confidently to-day. Everyone who saw Thaw and heard his testimony was surprised. His relatives and counsel enthusiastically declare that his release is but a mat ter of days. Jerome, however, enter ed the courtroom with three bags of documents to-day, prepared tc keep up the battle of the brains. Yesterday Jerome was so astounded by the men, tai boise of Thaw that he begged the witness to submit to private exami- nation by alienists. Thaw insisted that the public examination proceed.
 Thaw has indicated that his attitude toward the charges of corrupt prac- tices against him will be a total denial "a -croS were made by blackmailers.
 Despite a. broiling heat, the court room was packed with women. Jus tice Mills before opepjng court, warn ed the spectators that there must be no more applause as on yesterday. Be- fore recalling Thaw, Attorney Nor schauser recalled Clifford w. Hart ridge who was under subpoena to produce the books which Miss Susan A. Merrill said she gave him to show how she had been paid vast sums of hush money to 200 girls. Hartridge said he made a careful search for the books but had been unable to find them. Morschauser then gave up his attempt to get the. books and began questioning Partridge about his suit against Mrs. Thaw for .$125,O ,O0O.
 Hartridge said the books were not important in that suit. Jerome then asked Hartridge for certain writings of Thaw, given by the prisoner to Hartridge when he was acting as Thaw's counsel. Morschauser object ed saying the writings were private between client and attorney.

Over Site For Park.

The proposed gift of small triangu- lar piece of land by Mrs. H. O. Have meyer to be maintained as a park, to the borough of Greenwich, has divided the city in two factions. The burgess ses have decided to offer the matter to a 1.1eeting of the voters. Mrs. Have meyer some time ago offered piece of land in the southern part of the borough to the government as a site for a post office at a price smaller than other bidders asked for a tract of equal size, but her offer was made with the proviso that the tract ad- joining should be accepted by the borough as a park. The proposed park and post office site are removed from that part of the town where most of the business is located.

not answer.

sero it found that a long string of
freight cars were In the way and
could only be disposed of by backing
them to Shoshone, eight miles from
the wreck. To add to the horror of
the wreck, the second relief train,
loaded with injured on the way to
Glenwood Springs, was tied up for
several hours by the derailment of
some freight cars.
OF the So passengers in the chair
car, 6S are reported killed. The only
one to escape was a six year old girl,
who was found under the dead body
of her mother. She was so daZed she
could not remember more than that
her name was "Alice." She was
later identified as Alice Williams, of
Iowa. When found under her
mothers body she was covered from
head to foot with blood.
Engineer Olsen was brother of
Sid Olsen, engineer OF the freigh..
Both live at Glenwood Springs.
The wreckage caught fire immedi-
ately after the collision and holo-
caust was only averted by the unin-
iured passengers, who stood by with
shovels and boards and put out the
fire with snow.
According to the latest Information
received the wreck was caused by
failure of Engineer Gus Olsen of the
passenger train to correctly read the
time indicated by his watch. He read
the time 9:45 p. M, when it was
$3.50 p. IN. Thinking he had plenty
of time to get to the siding below
Dotsero, he pulled the throttle of
his engine wide open and was max
ing 45 miles an hour on the down
grade when he collided with the
freight, which was laboriously climb
ing the hill under a full head of
steam from both it's engines.
Wnen the passenger did not stop,
the conductor pulled the bell cord and
signaled the engineer to stop, but it
was too late. The three big engines
telescoped and when they came to
standstill resembled one huge piece
of twisted steel and iron wreckage.
The baggage and express cars, the
smoker and the day coaches were also
telescOped, while three heavy Pu.l-
mans and diner crushed the entire
mass against the engines. The light
coaches We're smashed like egg shells.

ELY CENTRAL

BELIEVED THAT IT WILL. GO IN
GIROUX OMBINATION-MR.
PHEBY CALLED TO NEW YORK
IN REGARD TO DEAL.

In response to a telegram received
yesterday, f. S. Pheby will leave to-
morrow morning for New York. He
will probably be absent Il couple of
weeks or more.
While Mr.. Pheby declined last
night to discuss the business that
that it was with regard to mining in
terests in the district. it is learned
from another source that the matter
has to do with the Ely Central prop
erty
II report which comes from a
quarter that should be well informed
is correct, Ely Central has been prac-
tically under option for some days
The information available on the
subject leads to the belief that the
option is in the hands of interests as
sociated with the Cole-Ryan move
ments in the district and that the
property will go into the Giroux COM
bination.
While Mr.. Pheby declined to dis
cuss this report last night, he did not
enter denial. 1t is known that en-
gineers who recently examined the
GirouX property for the Cole-Ryan
interests also looked over the tly
Central. 1t is also known that
Giroux representative engaged in ne
gotiations last week with the Phebys.
The call to New York follows close
on the heels of this latter step and
would seem to indicate that the re-
port made from here as to the confer
ence had with the Phebys was so
satisfactory at the New York end as
to bring wish for immediate and final
negotiations.

claims of the territories for state
leaders do not intend to permit the
statehood bills to pass mt this ses-
sion of congress.
They say there is not time enough
remaining to enact the necessary leg

that the matter be deferred until

Considerable opposition has devel-

1t is charged that he received the
appointment as a reward for break

cused him of being a traitor to the

which he took during the campaign,
