New York, April 22.--Threats on the life of Harry Hoffman, motion pie ture operator, charged with homicide in connection with the murder of Mrs. Maude Bauer on Staten Island and also charges of assault made by Mrs. Katherine Campbell, today led the police to take precautions 10 guard him during trips from his cell to the district attorneys office and courtrooms.

HOLMES WILL ENFORCE ATTENDANCE STATUTE
100 Children Still Reported Lacking Vaccination
 Certificate

That children who are not vaccin- ated will have 10 be before returning to school and that the parents of those who remain away from school will be prosecuted seems to be the general feeling among officials of the school department, following the re- sumption of school sessions today aft CT the Easter vacation.
 It is said that about 100 children who were not vaccinated failed to re- port this morning, or were sent home, Superintendent Holmes said he had received no reports today but the school department would exclude all those who had not been yaccinated
 I've are planning to enforce the order of the school board" said Mfr Holmes, vaccination is dead issue now, 1t is a matter Of attendance. If they stay out we will enforce the at. tendance law"
 The two statements by Mir. Holmes that the attendance law will be en- forced if children remain away from school and that they will be exclud. ed if they are not properly vaccinated in compliance with the order of ths board, are taken to mean that tn, school board is in coauol Of the sit uation, anti-yaccinationist propa' ganda to the contrary and the pre- ventlve measures against any further smallpox eridemics uill be reenforced rigidly.

John Cook, Aged 16, Dis covered to Be Mildly Affected

One new case of smallpox Of the new mild type which has been ob- served lately, wps diagnosed positive ly this afternoon by health depart ment officials. when John Cook, a l6 year old boy residing at AT Willard street, was found to be suffering with the disease.
 Cook works at the North & Judd factory but has not been at work for the past two weeks. He has never been vaecinated. He was taken to the isolation hospital this afternoon.
 That Harold Newton. the 16 year old boy whose escapades after he took French leave from the George Junior Republic at Iitchfield and made his way to prominent summer resort in South Carolina where he worked the management of a hotel for free board for several days at the rate of s12 a day. may be the source of a new. milder and strictly independ- ent type of smallpox which has re- gently broken out in this city, is a possibility hinted at by health board officials.
 When interviewed this morning pr. R. w. Pullen, superintendent of health did not care to make any positive statements except to say that the last three cases are of a milder and very different type than the kind that has been prevalent in the city all winter and that the Newton boy. who spent several days at his home here before going back to the school at Iitchheld, was the first patient to have this type. So far as any definite knowledge is concerned the health authorities are unable to trace any connection be- tween the kind of smallpox the last three patients have contracted and the violent type of Canadian smallpox which caused q number of deaths.
 The new type Is very much milder in form, and the patient. although covered quite freely with postules does not become very ill. II is stated that the place in South Carolina where tho Newton boy was for several day, is the scene Of smallpox similar to the kind he developed after returning home. Health authorities have writ ten to the southern city for furthi | information but as yet have received no reply.

 Of Harnessing the Sun

He said he could regulate the heat produced to the exact degree desired.
 Moreau claims to have pro- duced with his machine sufti- cient heat to melt a diamond and cause it to disappear as gas.

LATER EXPLAINS THAT

Bushes to Press Table and Raves
 IoudIy-Fcels So Sure He Will go
 Free that He Spent Night Packing
 His Things-If Not Liberated, He
 Win Probably to Taken 10 some
 Other Institution.
 Philadelphia, April 22.--Just as the Harry K. Thaw sanity trial recessed for luncheon Thaw rushed to the press table and burst into an excited speech in denunciation of William A. Gray who had been addressing the jury in opposition to Thaw's release.
 When he had calmed down Thaw said that he had not been excited be- cause of Mir. Gray's speech but was nervous because of the danger of los ing the jury if certain records were introduced.
 Talks Very Loudly
 Under the common law, Thaw told those around the press table, a juror might be withdrawn. He talked loud and rapidly and attracted the atten- ton of persons walking out of the court room.
 Now, wait minute; wait a min ute.' Thaw cried. My mother wants to talk to you too; don't go away"
 His Mother Surprised
 Thaw's mother, however. sat calmly and gave no indication of planning to join in the talk. She semed puzzled by her sons sudden activity.
 John NJ. Patterson, counsel for Thaw, who had not at first noticed him, came to where Thaw was ad- dressing those around him. NIT. Pat terson protested against "unreasona- ble questioning" and called out angri- ly to Let Mir. Thaw alone! He is en- titled to the same privacy as any other American citizen
 When told Thaw had volunteered some information. Mir. Patterson ap- peared nonpiussed. Bailiffs cleared the court room and Thaw was still gesti- culating when the last spectators, in- cuding the jurors, left the place. l. During the address Of Mir. Gray, Thaw sat calmly listening. At one stage of the talk Mir. Gray said to the jurors. "You have witnessed Thaw's great eYcitabiity in ihts room, You have seem him 50 agitated he couldn't kep his scat"
 At this 1'haw glared at Mr. Gray, then turned to his mother, and smiled. Whether it was Gray's address that caused Thaw's agitation or some other reason for his excited appearance at the press table, his attorney would not say.
 The case may go to the jury this afternoon. Prior to Mir. Gray's ad- dress, Arthur G. Dickson, counsel for the trustees of Thaw's estate, address ed the jurors. contending that Thaw is still insane and should not be re- leased.
 Final Addresses to Jury.
 Final addresses 10 the jury which will determine the sanity of Harry K. Thaw were delivered today, s. Arthur G. Dickson, counsel for the trustees of Thaw's estate, making the first speech of the day in opposition to Thaw's re- lease from the Pennsylvania hospital for mental and nervous diseases.
 If Thaw is declared sane, his chief counsel, former Judge John NJ. Pat terson, will advise him 10 give bond or go to New York immediately and face the charge brought by Frederick Gump. Jr., who declared Thaw whip
