Tombs Vaudeville Entertainment Omitted — Black or Osborne to Cross-Examine. „ In less than three weeks Harry K. Thaw will be called to the bar before Justice Fitzgerald in th« Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court for trial on the charge of killing Stanford White. Until that tlms he will be busier on his defence than he has been at any time since his arrest on June 25. Even yesterday, when all Tomba prisoners gener ally r.ave entertainment, if never again. Thaw worked and studied over various phases of his case. It has been the custom to have vaudeville enter tainment at the Tombs on New Year's Day, but this year it was not allowed. Various excuses were given, but the real reason, it was eald, was the fear that too many persons would crowd in to see Thaw. Thaw spent yesterday quietly, there being no vis itors. Ho received two packages, containing pres ents, and considerable mail, one letter arriving from London. Tho letter. It is believed, was from relatives, and had a distinct bearing on the defence. The defence, it can be confidently announced, will not bo one where insanity will enter, but will be one of justifiable homicide, with a possible ex tenuating reason of temporary emotional insanity. If the prosecution attempts to secure testimony pointing to a question of Thaw's sanity, it will be refuted by nearly a score of alienists, who are re tained by the defence for Just such occasions. Any discussion of insanity Is particularly dis tasteful to TJiaw. who ha* fought, and still fights, against any proposals of that kind. Thaw, It is known, is confident of acquittal Clifford W. Hartridge. Thaw's chief counsel, will have charge of the case, Ex-Governor Frank S. Black or ex-Assistant Attorney James W. Oeborno will do tho cross-examining. PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR MACHINISTS.

JANUARY 2. 1907. ARMY AND i\'A\ r Y .NEWS [From The Trfbuna Bureau.] ■Washington, January 1. GREAT NAVAL. PARADE PLANNED.— navy will niako a grand display at Jamestown in May next. According to the present plans the At lantic fleet will reach Hampton Roads on April 11, after manoeuvres in Southern waters and the small arms target practice and tho record target prac tice with heavy guns at Quantanamo. The fleet will include all of the battleships In commission In home waters and will represent the largest and strongest fleet this country has ever poesuiiscO. it Is expected that at the same timo there will be representations 'of foreign navies in Hampton Roads, and the spectacle will probably be the most notable in a naval way which has over occurred in this country. There are no such opportunities for a naval demonstration anywhere as at Hampton Roads and It is proposed to make the affair un surpassed in naval history. The question has come up whether the annual overhauling of tho ships should take pluce before the naval demonstration or afterward. but It Is believed that the managers of the Jamestown Exposition will ilealre the pres ence of the chips early in the celebration, and if such Is the case they will not go to the navy yards until June or later. It is planned to have tha At- Untlo fleet stay at Hampton Roads for four weeks at least. TROUBLE WITH DRTDOCKB.— Navy De partment will probably overhaul its drydocks. It Is reported that Dock No. 8, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. is In great need of special attention, and the indications are that the damage represented by usa and deterioration promoted by original defects in construction have contributed to Impair the use fulness of the dock. Some apprehension has been expressed that the dock would not be equal to the demands made upon it and that great cars would have to be exercised to keep it from collapsing;. The new chief of the bureau ci yards and docks, Civil Engineer Rosseau, who takes offlca ne-£t Saturday, Is expected at Brooklyn during the present week, and will probably look over the situation personal ly. Later there may be a general examination of the docks now In commission, ♦specially those in use nt Brooklyn. In the mean time It has been decided to sell at publio auction as so much old Junk the floating wooden drydook at the Ports mouth, N. H», navy yard. The dock was one of the earliest of its type built In this country, and has been in us* for more than half a oentury. It has been constantly repaired, and the recent inspec tion of it showed that It was not worth spending any more money upon* TELLS OF ABAJJDONTN'G BABY'B BODY Gassert Sobs as He Describes Poverty Which Led to Act. Charles A. Oassert, who, with hit wife, was ar raigned before Magistrate Wahlo in th« Harlem police court yesterday and remanded to the cus tody of the coroner, charged with having aban doned his dead baby, sobbed bitterly as he told the court attendants that poverty had compelled him and his wife to glv* up the idea of burying their child. It was only a variation of the old. old utory of agony and wr«tchedr.ess which the unemployed have told so often, and which sounds far away in th» ears of the ov«rfed and comfortable. The baby was neven monCis old, Gaasart said, He himself had be«n out of work for aomo time, and In their room, at 106 th street and Second avo nue, they had Hvtd on next to nothing, while ho walked the strtets tvnty day looking for work and cam* homo every night with no good notes to tall. On December 1 ho and his wife waked up and found the child cold In bod beside them. His wife dressed it and took it to a drug store, •■king U-.e clerk to rive her something to make th* ohlld warm again. When the clerk told her the baby was dead she took it back, put it in Us carriage and, wheeling it before her, started out with her husband to find some one who would help them bury It. nut no undertaker or friend would lend them the requisite money, end so they loft the little body in th« oar rleKO Just outside of a saloon at 99tn street and Third avenue. The abandonment was not premeditated. They had gone in to get a drink, to dissipate the chill of the cold baby on their hearts, and when they had come out araln a crowd had «urro"unc>d the ban? carriage. His wife stooped and kissed her child. GeMert laid, nayinjr, ''Oh, the poor little thing!" <vr*l they had left It there. Now both he and his wife have work, Tie said. Coroner Harburirnr naid that If O»B»ert's story oould bo substantiated ho would discharge the couplo from custody. MASS MEETING OF NEGROES.

But we stepped in and picked out this choice gathering of the daintiest finery ever shown in America in January. The Exhibition presents about fifty Paris Lingerie Dresses. Some are soft, sheer, exquisite gowns, others are beautiful suits of heavy linen, magnificently embroidered. Each one is a masterpiece of originality and beauty, and the only one in its style that America has seen. There are probably a score of beautiful White Broadcloth Wraps, strikingly original in their outlines. All are uniinel, and they are cut In various unique shapes, as graceful as they are effective. The vel vet collars give an effective touch of color. There are about thirty Hats, Just from the hands of their design ers when they were packed off to America for us. They are made cf lace and embroidery, with plumes and marabou, ohlffon, mallne an<i little birds. There is a beautiful collection of Echarpes.
