Held la th Vorteo Ckirfhn at the City. The do of the second day of the tnter ynodlcal foreign missionary convention aw no diminution In the Interest which was aroused on the opening day by the mighty speakers and traveler who led the way. Rather. Interest seems to Increase as the convention progresses and speaker after speaker shows that this Is the ap pointed time to push theyscheme for the evangelization of the world with a will. Fully 3.0)0 people were In attendance at the Auditorium at the morning session of the mission, and fully as many gathered In the evening. Two of the most promi nent men in the Presbyterian church. Dr. Hunter Corbett moderator, and Robert Fpeer. senior secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, were the chief speakers In the morning, while In the evening men also acquainted with the foreign mission ary work, told of their experiences and told the way toward a larger work In a larger field. J. I. McClelland of St. Louis presided at the morning session Instead of former Governor Beaver of Pennsylvania, who was unable to come to the convention. In the evening David MeConaugh. eastern district secretary Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, presided in place of J. M. Patterson of St. Louis. The speakers were: J. Campbell white, neio secretary of the United Presbyterian church and secretary of the laymen's foreign move ment: Rer. R. F. Coyle. pastor of the Cen tral Presbyterian church of Denver and ex-moderator of the general assembly, and Rev. S. M. Jordon of Teheran, Persia. J. I. McClelland of St. Louts presided at the morning session Instead of former Governor Beaver of Pennsylvania, who , was unable to come to the convention. "The question now before us Is. x !.: take up our part In doing God's work, the work of devotion, love and duty? If we do, we -en a evangelise the whole world be fore wa die. Nothing can excuse any church or Christian in denying the last command of Christ to go Into tha world and preach the gospel to every creature. Tha command was not a chimerical one. No qualifications, conditions or policy were attached to that command. H laid down Ills life, for tha salvation of the world and lis expected that little band of disciples to go out and shake tha world. We have ho light to sit down here and assume that Ilia command wan a mere chimera or a theory. We should go out and do as Ho has commanded us to do evangel! the world." Thus spoke Mr. Speer. Address oa District Oaty. The subject of 3ar. Speer a address was "The District Foreign Mission Responsi bility of the Presbyterian Church." It was a brilliant. Ursa and Inspiring call to the tit Id of foreign missionary duty, not alone for the church but for the Individual. Mr, Speer la one of the foremost platform ora tors of the couutry, possesses a magUQcent voice, to which la added an earnestness of ' purpose and aval that command the closest attention of his hearers. "The subject of my talk to you this morn ing." said Mr. Speer. "is the result of a little paper sent out by the Board of For eign Missions of the Presbyterian church lut July to all our missions In foreign lands. Tha time had come for the church to make some estimate of its responsibility to Ita missionary duties; to provide the re sources and to ascertain from what sources these resources are to be supplied, and to obtain tome estimate of the cost of mis sion work based upon the experience of the missionaries In the foreign field that It might be laid before the gen eral assembly in May. The replies have sot all been received, and It might be'pro niature to raise this question at this time, tut I think not. , Mem mad Moaey. "It la not a question of what men be lieve regarding the supply of men and money for the svar.gelUation of the world, but how is the church to supply the men and money. Probably the best thing to be done wou'.d be fur the men of the church to confront this problem themselves that of the practical vangellxatloti of the world Cannot we co:re to some unity of mind here? Cannot we reach some more definite understanding on this matter here In this convention rather than from an academical discussion of It at the General Assembly? If this thing la ever to be don it must be done now and In the same general way of any great, practical business achieve ment, and not aa an undefined chimerical Scheme.

In continuing his cross-examination of Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw today at the trial of her husband.! District Attorney Jerome brought out thei fact that In 1902 Stanford White deposited I the sum of $1,350 with a New York Trust: company with Instructions that it should be ' I ... ..- .- .1 paid to Evelyn Nesblt st the rate of 13 week.

The prosecutor spent nearly the en- t.re anernoon in iring to maae airs. in.. admit tAat this was true hut as often and.. , . : In as many ways aa he put the question to i her. she gave the one answer: "I don 1 1 remember." Mrs. Thaws Inability to remember a.zm tor tne biennum. number of things about which Mr. Jerome; 8ute railway commission, three commls questloned her was by far the most ma-1 ,,onerSi u ,inn each, and 16,0(10 for secretary terial element In the cross examination. The district attorney delved into her past j life with a familiarity as to details and a ' store of general knowledge which at times j seemed to amaze all who heard, not ex- ceptlng the defendant's counsel themselves. ; Pointed Qaeatloas Aaked. I Mr. Jerome indicated early in his aues- tionlng that he had no disposition to spare Mrs. Thaws feelings In any way. He in-' terrogated her most pointedly as to her : men acquaintance, of the past. He laid especial stress on her acquaintance with I Jame. A. Garland, who figured for the Brst ! e time In the tase. Mrs. Thaw said she'. knew Garland before she met White. "Were not you named as co-respondent In the Garland divorce case?" asked Mr. ) Jerome. ' hen, Mrs. Thaw was shaking her head w Mr. Delmas objected. He demanded that the record of the divorce case be brought Into court that it might speak for Itself. Justice Fitzgerald overruled the objection, tut Mr. Jerome withdrew the question. Mr. Jerome questioned the witness about her manner of posing for artists, and brought from her a denial that she ever posed In the nude. Mr. Jerome did not mince words. Many photograph of Mrs. Thaw were Introduced In evtdence. Mr. Jerome during the morning session plied the young woman with questions as to what disposition she had made of the letters written to her by Stanford White. Some, she said, had been destroyed and some she had given to her husband. Whan the dis trict attorney was pressing for an answer as to what had become of some of the let ters. Thaw leaned far over and whispered to his counsel In a voice audible to those nearest to him: "Stanford White stole them." Attorney .O'Reilly thereupon said aloud: "Stanford White got them." "If counsel desires to testify we will. Its) very glad to have Mm do it." Mr. Jerome re mark ad sarcastically. Letters from White. Later Mr. Jerome Indicated that he had In his possession letter written by Stan ford White to Evelyn Nesblt. saying he would show her the letters to ee If they would not brighten her memory. He changed his mind, however, and the letters were not produced. Mr. Jerome demanded that Thaw'e counsel deliver to the court the Stanford White letter, but they made no response. Mr. Jerome was assisted materially In his cross-examination by typewritten state ments made by Mrs. Thaw' mother and by Howard Nesblt, her brother. He con sulted the statements from time to time and Mr. Delmas let this fact become known to the Jury by remarking about It Mr. Jerome's cross-examination may re quire several days yet. He Jumped about today from one part of Mrs. Thaw's story and one period of her life to another In a way that baffled any attempt to tell how far he had progressed with his attack. Ha apparently Intends to take every ad vantage of the ruling of yesterday, which allows him wide latitude in testing the credibility of the witness. Mr. Delmas. contrary to expectations. Interposed few objections. He Is evidently nreparing, however, for an extended re direct examination, and this, together wfth Mr. Jerome's cross-examination on th re direct, promises to keep the prisoner' wife on the witness stand for an Indeflnte pe riod. Mrs. Thaw Self-Poasessed. Mrs. Thaw seemed perfectly self-pos sessed at every stage of the cross-examination. At time her vole trembled, but al most always It was clear and emphatic. She fenced with the prosecutor continu ously, corrected him at time aa to as sumptions drawn from previous answers, and occasionally told him hi questions were entirely too long to permit of a proper answer. The young woman seemed to be swsyed by the district attorney mood. When his voice was soft and perhaps in sinuating, sh answered In the same low tone. When Mr. Jerome would become aroused and snap questions at her In a loud vole, she replied In kind. When the prosecutor would persist with a question she bad answered two or three times, Mrs. Thaw would finally reply with an emphasis on each word, speaking slowly, distinctly and defiantly. The defendant wa always alert to catch every word. He seemed Impatient at times at some of the questions put by the prose cutor and kept up a running fire of whis pered comment with his attorney a Jostle ritssrerald Threatened. Justice Fitzgerald, who Is presiding at th Thaw trial, received a threatening letter yesterday. It wa sent from St- Louis and accused th Judge of siding with Jerome. The letter threatened to kill Justice Fitz gerald and District Attorney Jerome If Thaw la convicted. aa Who Drafted WU1. PITTSBl'RG. Feb 20. Attorney John I McCleave today admitted that he drafted Harry Thaw's first will and that he wa j asked to go to New York to testify la his defense, but had refused. Attorney Mc- I Cleave gave It a hi opinion that Thaw was perfectly sane when he drew the In strument.

The maximum freight rate bill was passed "Ly the house today, not a single vote being recorded against the measure. The hill makes an average reduction In the carload distance rates on fifteen pri mary commodities and many secondnry commodities considered aa products of Kansas. The house has made the most complete and far-reaching maximum rate bill it could frame and be acceptable to the courts. The senate today, by a vote of 23 to 17. substituted the Fltzpatrick primary elec tion bill for the Stubb primary bill, which had already been passed by the house. The Fltzpatrick bill provides that all candidates for state offices of all parties be nominated by primary elections held on the same date. In case one candidate of each party receives a majority of his party's vote. In a case where no candi- date receive a majority for a nomination a state convention Is to be held.
