NOVELTY IN TABLE COVERS
OF Tapestry Edged With Metal caiIoon
They Are an Effective Or
nament.

Extremely effective are the covers
for the table In the library or living
room made of tapestry. edged with
the metal galloon. The shops offer
the wool, or wool and silk tapestry, In
unusually handsome combinations OF
colors. Some tapestries have the met.
al threads woven into the designs,
this being the case especially with the
cKangeable effects. The cover is cut
TO at the top exactly or may be made
In the form Of long runner hanging
we'll over the ends or sides Of the ia
BILE; or. In some cases. It Is made
square. hanging down on all four
sides.
A banding Of the galloon finishes the
edge and sometimes q second band.
paralleling this few inches from the
edge, Is used.
A cover of this sort is not only ar
tistic. but has remarkable wearing
qualities.
It may be said In passing that short
lengths of the tapestry are often to be
found at much under regulation price
Agents samples are especially we'll
adapted to covers Of this sort.

 Meanwhile, the special board of in- Quiry, sitting to determine whether witnesses and reached no decision. The session, in secret, was still going on at noon and the word went out that the hearing would continue until a verdict had been found. The wit nesses examined in the forenoon were Thaw himself and Franklin Kennedy, deputy attorney general of New York. Thaw was on the stand for less than two minutes. He was asked one ques- ton:
 Are you the man who killed Stan ford White?'' ''On the advice of coun- sel I decline to ansWer,'' said Thaw. He was excused.
 MT. Kennedy identified the commit ment on which -Thaw was first sent to Matteawan and decrees remanding him there after his defeat in various habeas corpus proceedings in New York.
 The board adjourned at 1 o'clock with the announcement that a deci- ion would be made at D. m.
 The arrest of Jerome grew out of his informal card game played with reporters, yesterday, rear the Grand Trunk Railway Station, where Thaw is held in the 1migratmion peniten- tiary, sent a thrill through the town and crowds followed the former dis trict attorney to the Jail, some hoot- ing and shouting, ''Deport Jerome
 Justice of the Peace Mckee signed the warrant. Jerome had just slipped from the telephone booth at his ho- tel when Policeman Andrews made the arrest Hector Verret, of counsel for New York in the Thaw proceedings, hurried to the jail and thence went to the office of the justice of the peace and drew up a bail bond Hanson, the prosecutor, followed him and toio the justice that the prisoner could not be admitted to bail at once but should be held up for A and perhaps 48 hours.
 'EII1 have to lock LID my law books 9 the justice said f'I demand Jerome's s release at once," shouted Verret This is an outrage
 Finally Mckee "a11owed" that he what could be done.
 Jerome was brought in and in five minutes, the formalities were arrang- ed. He left the building laughing
 Should Thaw be deported suddenly, it will be necessary for Jerome to for felt his bail. There was disagreement as to the penalty for his alleged of fense Prosecutor Hanson insisted that a jail sentence only was provid- ed. MT. Verret thought that a normal fine, on conviction, would be more like it. There was a, hurried scanning of statute books, this afternoon, to clear the matter up.

ROBBERIES OF
 DEAD BODIES AT RAILROAD WRECK

New Haven, Sept. 5-That there were wholesale and disgracefuI robberies from dead bodies at the railroad wreck at North Haven, on Tuesday morning. is the opinion of Coroner Mix who, during the progress of his inquest into the wreck, today, reported the facts to Chief of Police Smith and requested that officer to apprehend the cu1prits.
 It is understood that Governor Mix, during his inquest heard witnesses, to- day, tell of men cutting fingers off dead passengers to get rings and of persons searching the clothing of in jured passengers to secure whatever money or va1uab1es were upon their person.
 As soon as this testimony was giv- en, the coroner had Chief Smith cor1e to him and to that official were given some of the statements brought out with descriptions given of the alleged thieves.
 It is understood that Engineer Mill CT told of hearing a woman grooming and looking around, saw a man de1ib- erately cutting off her finger, on which He also saw a man strip a dead body and afterwards he saw a man lean over an injured woman and snatch away a Iocket.
 Other railroad men gave corrobor- attve testimony. One of them told of a man who had a pillow case who went about picking up jewelry, purses and other articles of value and when others saw what he was doing they chased him across the fields but the man escap ped.

New York. Sept 5-Not wheel moved in the New York subway be- tween Seth street in upper Manhat- tan and the Brooklyn terminal dur ing the rush hour of the work bound crowds, this morning, resulting in one of the worst traffic congestions the city has known.
 Rain, which lasted three hours, turn ed streets into rivers, some of them two to four feet deep, and the water poured in great quantities into thou sands of cellars, driving basement dweIIers from their homes.
 The roofs of two large Broadway hotels sprang a leak and torrents of water which had been held back by choked leaders, went down through bedrooms and halls, driving guests from their rooms and doing serious damage to decoration and tapestries.
 Elevators were put out of commits sion in@ several hotels and guests had to climb many. flights of stairs. At two large Broadway houses guests were obliged to go to bed by candle light.

 It was nearly o'clock before the subway line was cleared and then the congestion prevented anything like normal conditions The first down town train since 1:so a. m.. left the seth street station at o'clock.
 The Interborough company loaded flat cars with electric pumps capable of discharging 750 gallons a minute and sucked the water out of the tuoe
 The block at the Brooklyn terminus of the subway was the worst in the system. One hundred thousand per sons use this station between and g o'clock in the morning. When the not to be late in reporting for their work in Manhattan, found that no trains were running they made for tha elevated cars that cross the bridges or take passengers to the ferry.
 One man, hemmed by the crowd, told those around him that he was recently released from Sing Sing pri- son, that this was his first day on an honest job and that he would prob ably lose both the job and his chances of reform ation if he failed to report on time for work, this morning.
 At several central stations the baf- fled subway users stormed the ele- vated trains in such numbers that po- lice reserves were called out.
 Extra cars were put on all the troll ley lines Even the ancient. horse ears which serve on a few short and little used lines. were not scorned.
 Fifty fire chiefs attending their in-- ternational convention, were in ex- press train stalled at Columbus Cir cle station of the subway early to- day They all turned in and helped the guards escort passengers on this train and others stalled behind 1t over the third rail and up to the station platform.

Claiming that Judge Robert E. De- Forest had violated his professional honor, States Attorney Stiles Judson made a verbal attack upon the ven Rrable barrister in the superior court this morning during a hearing before Judge Gager- In the course of his remarks the states attorney charac- terized Judge DeForest's conduct as the most disgraceful and dishonora bIe of which he had ever heard"
 T2e hearing was held on a motion to dissolve the injunction in the &C., ton of Betsy Boothe of Stratford against the town of Stratford. Judg Greene several months ago granted the injunction restraining the town from laying a. street on the Boothe premises. The Boothe family with other property owners in the neigh borhood objected to the proposed lay out and brought action against the town.
 The dispute between the lawyers re-
