HARRY THAW WAS OVERCOME TODAY Inquisition of Attorney Jerome

Completely Exhausts Him. JUSTICE ALSO TOOK HAND PRISONER DENIED THAT HE WAS KNOWN AS "CRAZY HARRY" BUT 8AID PROSECUTOR WAS "CRAZY JEROME." : (American News Service) White Plains, N. Y.. July 30. Phy sically exhausted after a gruelling cross examination by District Attor ney Jerome and the searching ques tions by Justice Mills, Harry; Thaw today had to be helped from the court room during the progress of the trial, just as recess was reached. For a half hour previous . Thaw looked like a hunted man. He rolled his eyes about the room and uneasily shuffled his feet. Jerome, smiling and confident, Indicated he thought he had proved that Thaw still has delusions. Dur ing the examination Thaw steadfastly denied all accusations as to whipping young girls with a dog whip: that he never bad a room at Mrs. Merrill's; that he never scalded a girl in a bath tub. When Jerome asked him if he had been generally nicknamed "Crazy Harry" the prisoner replied that he had often heard the attorney referred to as "Crazy Jerome." WILL ASK DIVORCE. New York, July 30. "I shall be just as quick in starting a suit for divorce, as I have been slow in making up my mind to it. The papers will be serv ed on Thaw just as soon as the finish of the proceedings at White Plains as they can be prepared," said Evelyn Nesbit Thaw early -today when ques tioned regarding a dispatch from Reno saying that she was preparing to make up a legal residence in Reno, where she would bring suit. The evidence she needs has been supplied she said, by facts brought out at White PlalnB, notably the evi dence that Thaw, under the name of Reld. introduced ia woman as his wife. Mrs. Thaw said that as soon as pos sible, after 1 the divorce proceedings, she will go to Europe. The suit will be tried here, she declared. " Will be Sensational. In case Thaw is declared sane by Justice Mills and is freed from Matteawan asylum for criminal insane, a suit for the divorce is expected to be about as sensational as the present hearing. Evelyn Thaw has been under close scrutiny of detectives since the arrest of her husband after the killing of Stanford White three years ago last June. These detectives will be called to tell of some Broadway incidents which occurred to the early morning hours in restaurants and cafes. In fact, the divorce suit promises to drag the Thaw case out to further length when more details of the life of the Pittsburg millionaire, his wife's and ij wife's associates, will get into public print.

Harris of Indianapolis, a former Wayne county citizen, will probably deliver the principal address at the Old Settlers' picnic at King's Grove, north of Centerville, August 21.

As a Chaser to the Hottest Day of the Summer, a Violent Blow With Much Wet Was Perpetrated. DAMAGE RESULTING WAS NOT EXTENSIVE No Heat Prostrations Were Reported Although Men Employed in Factories Were About Fagged Out. Our eccentric weather man yesterday, tiring of near-fall, and half-baked spring weather, opened up the valve to 90 degrees and produced the hot-. test day of the season, then, as a ehas er, perpetrated a thunder storm in which the wind ran amuck, knocking over corn stalks, pitching fence rails hither and yon, making rats-nests of the whiskers of the" oldest inhabitant and bowling oYCTrst few trees. The storm did the AosOdamage in the neighborhood off Fountain City and Hagerstown. Mr.e local jVutomobilist, who ran befofe the storih late yes terday afterndbn, testified Vaay that he came all j the way from! Fountain City to Richmond at afortylfive mile an hour cliDfand that at no time was it necessary? if or him to opfrate the machine by jits own power, Damaae Over 8ta Although the breeze cutup consid erable caper 9. t he damage resulting was not very great in this county, although reports Xpm iaQianapolis and other parts of the state are to the ef fect that much damage was done The great crowd at the Hagerstown fair witnessed the approach of the threatening black clouds with great dismay and late in the afternoon there was a regular stampede out the gates for, havens of safety. t No heat prostrations to this city were reported yesterday.- but this morning and last evening the physi cians worked over time prescribing cures for trouble in the' commissary department. Men who are employed in the founderies and engine rooms of the various manufacturing plants had opportunities for remarking how much cooler it is in the winter than in the summer. Many of the men were completely exhausted before noon and were obliged to quit work. In the sterotyping rooms of the news paper plants the sterotypers plied their trade with the mercury flitting around the HQ, mark. Parboiling and handling lead on a day like yesterday eliminates all terrors of the Inferno, Lightning Hits House. While the rain and the wind played the star parts in yesterday's blow the lightning was also in evidence. A bolt cqllided with a chimney on a Pearl street residence and for a few seconds it looked as though there was a brick hail storm. The explanation of yesterday's heat, as given out at the weather bureau, is as follows: The oppressive character of the present state of weather is the result of the opposition of two areas of high pressure, one over the south east and the other over the northwest, where it is considerably cooler. In addition to this it was stated that an area of 80 degrees temperature yes terday morning lay over Indiana, Illi nois, Southeastern Mississippi and Arkansas, and Is drifting eastward, so that continued -warm weather with thunderstorms are predicted. PRANKS OF WIND. It Played Havoc in Indianapolis Yes terday. Indianapolis. Ind., July 30. A ter rific storm which swept Indianapolis and Indiana ' late yesterday caused great damage in this city. The wind played many freakish pranks, among other things blowing an automobile through a store front and tearing roof from a baseball grandstand and depos iting it with such force upon a house that the house was almost demolished. About forty street cars were tied up by trees blown across the tracks, and telephones and telegraph service was demoralized. ',.

Prohibitionists and Anti-saloon Leaders Get Into a Dispute And Had Wordy War at Bethany Park. ; ARGUMENT STARTED BY OPTION WORKER He Declared to Combined Temperance Forces That League Would Continue Non-partisan Support Indianapolis. July 30. State and tlonal leaders of the Drohibitloa nartv and members of the Indiana anti-sal loon league engaged la a free-for-all word battle at Bethany park yesterday where temperance day was observed. The occasion attracted about 400 per sona from throughout the state, all of whom agreed that the liquor traffic was productive of no rood results ani should be annihilated aa soon aa possi ble. Further than this, however, it wsa plainly evident that there waa little unity of opinion between the two elements represented. Chasm Was Widened. The leaders had gathered at the park in the hope of establishing soma procedure upon which both could unit for the coming year, but at the conclu sion of a conference of two hours' dura tion upon the subject. "Local Option and Prohibition,'' the prohls and antlsaloon workers found the chasm be tween them wider and deeper than before they had convened. The debate waa oreclDitated when H. J. Hall of Indianapolis, national secretary of the temperance board of the Christian church, who presided over the meeting, called upon K. M. Barney, superintendent of the Indian, spoils district of the anti-saloon league to apeak. Several brief, hut enthusiI astlc speeches had been delivered when airr Barney took toe- floor.- floow-of tha men had declared thnnwriisa in favor of the prohibition party. Others made no reference to the party, while some intimated that they would support one which advocated local option. Urges State-wide Prohibition. "I can indorse everything that has been said here." he said: I have hated the liquor traffic ever since I waa a boy. I believe it is a great obstacle to civilised progress. 'I wish to take thn opportunity to correct reports that have been circu lated that the anti-saloon league will not ask for state wide prohibition. We are for prohibition In Indiana as soon aa it ia possible. Mr. Mlntnrn and I have said this repeatedly. But It has always been a principle of the leagua not to ask any party to declare for state wide prohibition In Its platform. The method which has mad all tha territory dry in the past is the method which wUl be used by the anti-saloon leagua In the futura.
