The continuation Of the west wing of
the department building was authorised
by act of August 81, 1852, and the erec-
tion Of the north front by the act of
1856. The whole was about completed
in 1868, costing in round figures two
and q half million dollars. Owing.
however. to a change of grade which
placed the south entrance high up in
the air. a further expenditure of about
S850.000 was required. Before the

took the witness stand for the second
time in his present sanity triaI-this
time as a states witness. Slightly
nervous at the start, he soon regained
his cOmpOsUre and answered all qUes-
ton smilingly and at ease.
One of the first questions fired at
him by Deputy Atty Gen. Cook was
whether he believed William Travers
Jerome, his nemesis" was in con-
spiracy with several rich men to keep
him in Matteawan.
Thaw declared his counsel had told
him as much. Then he added:
But I don't believe there is any
such conspiracy now. And l don't
think you are in league with any mil
ionaires to put me back in Mattea-

How long was Alfred Henry Lewis

Thaw snapped.

this point and the prisoner finally adj
mitted that Lewis had been engaged,
by him in 1913 and continued in his
employ until his death, few months
ago. Thaw admitted he published a
little newspaper while in New Hamp-
shire.
"This was not to influence senti-
ment in my favor" he exclaimed. ct
was to advertise the weaknesses on
the other side"
Thaw was visibly nervous as Cook
continued questioning. He shifted
his position and his answers grew
vague and inaudibIe. His counsel ad-
vised him ''just to answer Mr.. Cooks
questions"
Cook read into the record a letter

secret session of the school board in
the offices of Pres. Michael Collins
yesterday. After the meeting mem
bers Of the board placed the response
bility on the shoulders of Ralph G..
Otis who asked that the doors be
locked so 'he could be at ease for
once"
During the open meeting which
followed no hint was given of what
transpired in Pres. Collins Office.
One Of the members in the meet
ing limited that the discussion was
about appraisal of school lands in the
loop. This question was not raised
in the open meeting except for the
statement from Ralph Otis that he
thought it would be poor policy to
start suit against the appraisal made
by BeTtram Winston, Jesse HOldOm
and Simon Strauss three real estate
experts" Otis thought that the
board cannot win the suit.
These experts lowered the valua-
ton on school property instead of in
cTeasing.
After a short discussion the board
passed an $18.OOO,OOO budget. This
is $1,13O,0OO more than its estimated
income.
The board will be obliged to borrow
money on its tax receipts to carry out
it's plans for the coming year.
Jacob HOIpUCh, Jacob Loeb, John
Eckhart and DR.. Clemensen voted
against the passage of the budget.
They characterized the action of the
board as ''ridiculously bad business"
and said that the passage of the
budget meant the mortgaging of the
schools.

These men are not buns. Under
the circumstances they try to make
the most of themselves. All they
want is a chance to work, do some
thing, be useful and not depend upon

they want some of the comforts of

they are willing to work for these
