Over hundred witnesses have been
called upon each time Thaw's case has
come up. some of them being brought
from Paris, Berlin ard London to tes-

ney to have the evidence in the latter
hearings read from the records of pre-
ceding ones was fought and defeated
by Thaw's attorney. Therefore the
state faces the necessity Of gathering
witnesses from distant points and
spending prodigious sums hereafter
The litigation is said to cost Thaw
twice us much as the state Legisla-

How seriously the various countries
were involved was shown by the
losses of the American citizens in the
City of Mexico. When the Americans
ventured to their homes after the days
Of bombardment and street battles
they discovered great havoc. Claims
presented to the United States officials
and in turn forwarded to the state de-
partment totaled sum over $1,000

heavy loss.

SOUGHT
!. FOR INSTITUTIONS
Commissioners Confer With
Charity Officers Upon New
Budget Items.

To determine on the amount to be in
cIuded in the annual budget for the sup

correctional institutions during the next
fiscal year. a conference was held today
between the Commissioners, John Joy
Edison, president Of the board of chari-
tees: DR.. George M. Kober. and George

The total OF the boards estimates
probably will reach 81, 400. 900. One of the
items, which the board considers Of the
utmost Importance. is an appropriation
Of $4,000 for beginning the construction
Of a new municipal hospital on a site
owned by the District ct Fourteenth and
Upshur streets, the total cost of which
10 estimated at $500. 900.
The Comm missioners also probably
win make provision also for an in
ebriate hospital where patients can
be given the benefit Of a lengthy
course Of treatment. Provision will
probably be made also for a new site
for the Industrial Home School for
white children, now located In Wis
consin avenue near the grounds OF
the Naval Observatory.
The erection Of the new District re-
formatory, on site adjacent to the
workhouse site at Occoquan, Va, will
