Sherbrooke. Que., Aug-, 29. New
:Tork state made no step forward to
day in its fight to return Harry K.
Thaw to the Matteawan asylum for
the criminal insane. He remains in
the Sherbrooke jail on a commitment
which will not bring him into court
iintil the king's . bench convenes in
October, and William Travels Jerome,
conferring- with Canadian counsel, has
as yet been unable to secure the
throwing of the bolt that detains him.
Thompson Out on Bail.
Roger Thompson, erstwhile Times
fiuare chauffeur, lounged about the
hotel corridors this afternoon, lunched
and dined near Jerome, wrote letters
to friends, walked unmolested and kept
filence as' regards the Thaw case. He
was released on $500 bail today 01 the
double charge of having entered Can
ada "bv stealth" and of having aided
an undesirable. Thaw, to cross the do
minion border. He will be tried on
these charges, barring further post
ponements, on Wednesday next.
Furnished with counsel by the Thaw
family, and provided with spending
money, presumably from the same
source, Thompson flatly and repeated
ly refused to tell what transpired on
and after the Sunday morning on
which he drove Thaw away from the
asvlum gate, after Stanford White's
i-layer had whisked past Howard Bar
nuni. the aged gatekeeper. ,
Thompson's Lips Sealed.
"I would not squeal if you gave me
the whole town of Sherbrooke," said
Roger. "1 believe Thaw is sane, and
J wouldn't say one word to hurt his
case. I want to see him get away. I
won't jump my bail. I can't go back
to Xew York, because they have a
warrant out charging me-with con
spiracy. That worries me a whole
lot. Myjjld mother is worried about
me, too; "but I wrote her today telling
her not to be. 1 -am a British subject
and 1 hope to beat this case, and just
?iow it would be crazy of me to give
the details of the trip with Thaw.
"After driving him away from Mat
teawan I came with him into Canada
because a lawyer told me they could
not touch me up here. I was the one
who hired W. L. Shurtleff at Coaticook
to look out for Thaw. Then I came on
here to Sherbrooke. and they pinched
me in the courtroom." . . ' . -
Sheriff and District Attorney Leave.
Thaw issued no statements from his
rell today.. His lawyers, interested in
he arraignment of Thompson, did not
fo near him. One ,of his New York
counsel, Harry Hirschberg, 'of New
fcurg, JS. Y returned home this after
noon. On the same train went Dis-
irict Attorney Conger and Sheriff
lombeck of Dutchess county. They
ad waited here since Wednesday1 last,
oping that Thaw would be turned
fever to the immigration authorities
and deported to Vermont.
Jerome and Franklin Kennedy, dep
3j ty attorney general of New York, said
ponight that their plans and the length
f their stay here were indefinite.
They conferred all afternoon, trying
to hit on a means of getting Thaw out
tf jail, but without success. Mr. Jer
ome was inclined to be reticent this
evening and would only say that ulti
mately New York state would have its
famous prisoner again.
Jerome Likely to Have Long Wait,
The belief grew here that disposition
of the case rested solely with high do
minion officials and that through them
only could any move be made. There
was a great deal of talk about New
York's representatives trying to . in
duce Alexis Dupuis, the Coaticook jus-'
tice who clmmitted Thaw, to quash
the commitment, but so far as could
be learned nothing came of it.
.Thaw's lawyers, having succeeded in
keeping him in jail and thus thwarting
his deportation, were resting on their
oars tonight and waiting for the other
side to move. All Indications presaged
a long wait for Jerome unless someone
higher up took a hand in the case.
Justice Dupuis Has His Doubts.
In his home at Coaticook, Justice of
the Peace Dupuis, frequently inter
rupted by Mrs. Dupuis, talked tonight
of the attempts made to have him
quash the Thaw commitment. He is a
vetired grocer, short, rather rotund,
with a heavy gray moustache and
thinning hair. He feels that he is the
"kystone" of the case.
"1 didn't think the commitment was
regular w hen I signed it," said Dupuis.
"but the sheriff who had Thaw was
verv anxious he should be held. They
raid a remand was not strong enough.
Thev were- so insistent that I alTBwed
myself to be persuaded. I don't know
whether I did right or not.
Wanted Thaw" Turned Loose.
. "On Wednesday, I believe, some men
who called themselves -Immigration
authorities called on me. They want
ed me ti go light to Sherbrooke, give
Thaw a hearing and turn him loose.
But 1 couldn't do that.' They had the
machine waiting, but I didn't go. I
had a horse I wanted to sell at Ayers
Cliff fair that afternoon. A while
later one of them came back. . He
wanted me to sign over my rights to
another magistrate. But I told him I
thought I was capable of dealing wif
the situation myself. British fair play
won't suffer in .my hands."
Mrs. Dupuis entered. , She is taller
than her husband.
"Let me tell you," Paid Mrs. Du
puis. "I'm for Thaw. I wouldn't hurt
him for the world. My husband is not
going to do anything hasty."
MAY GRANT WRIT.
Another Judge May Change the Aspect
of Thaw's Case.

Sherbrooke, Que., Aug. 80.- It was
reported in Sherbrook' early today

LORD HALDANfe FAVORS
' SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.
But Says Actions of Militants Have
Delayed It for Years.
New York, - Aug. '29. Viscount Hal
dane. the first high lord chancellor of
Great Britain to leave his country
since Cardinal Wolsey went to Franca
400 years ago, arrived here today on
the steamship Lusitania for a flying
visit of five days in this country and
Canada. J '
The lord high chancellor, whose po
sition in Eneland-corresponds to that
of chief justice of the supreme court
of ..the United States, is here as a
guest of the American Bar 'association,
before which he will deliver an ad
dress at the annual meeting of the as
sociation in Montreal next Monday.
Tonight he wras entertained at dinner
given in behalf of the association by
C. A. Severance of St. Paul.
Lord Haldane freely discussed many
questions of the day, declared that he
was in favor of woman suffrage,
prophesied that a millenium of peace
was far off, said that the relations be
tween Germany and - England were
never more cordial, praised the Intel
lectual growth of the United States
and predicted that home rule for Ire
land would soon be an accomplished
fact.
Lord Haldane chuckled when the
question of woman suffrage was
brought up.
"Yes, 1 am a suffragist." he said,
"but I do not approve of the militant
suffragettes. You are fortunate to
have no militant suffragettes in this
country, and I sincerely hope the mili
tant idea will not gain a foothold here.
The methods, of the English suffra
gettes have delayed equal suffrage for
years. At present there is no chance
of woman suffrage becoming a govern
ment measure, as the cabinet is hope
lessly divided on the subject, and so
are both parties." v
MURDER IN WOODS
NEAR UNIONVILLE.
Body of 'Man Found With Stab
Wounds and Throat Cut.
Unionville, Conn.. Aug. 29. The body
of a man, apparently an Italian, with
the throat cut, a stab wound in the
left breast and another wound just
above the stomach, was found today
in a wooded strip "of land here about
a quarter of a mile below the Avon
crossing on the New York, New Ha
ven and Hartford railroad and not far
from the tracks. The medical exam
iner was of the opinion that the body
could not have been there over forty-eight-
hours. It was lying under a
large tree.- All around the brush and
grass had been trampled down, giv
ing evidence that the man had made a
desperate struggle before being over
come and despatched. Near by was
found an open razor. , ' t
There was nothing about the body
which would give any clue to his iden
tity. He was apparently about 35
years old and weighed ' 165 pounds.
Pending the arrival of the coroner, the
body was removed to the 'rooms of a
local undertaker. -

' covered the Tribe.

and larger tribes similar to themselves
on the shores of the Arctic, The trap
pers claim to have pushed on north
ward for some distance, thus delaying
rthelr return to civilization.

ATTEMPTING TO FORCE
' OUT THE REPUBLICANS
' " 1
Effort to Secure Complaint Against
Fourth Class Postmasters.
(Special to The .Bulletin.)
Washington, 'Aug. 29. The Republi
cans in the senate have planned to
charge the democrats with something
like a general disposition to break
down the civil service law. They will
hold up before , the country the con
trast between the . rigid attitude of
former President Cleveland in support
of civil service reform, and the atti
tude of the present leaders of that
party. - ; ,
It is claimedthat in the post office
department democrats are quietly be
ing worked into the fourth class of
fice about the country, and it Is being
done while seeming to comply with
the spirit as well as the letter of the
law. They claim that a small army
of inspectors are kept busy among the
fourth class postmasters as well as
the higher grade offices trying to find
reasons for complaint against repub-;
lican postmasters in order that they
may be displaced. They say that the
plan followed in the appointment of
fourth class postmasters is to have
the names furnished by the civil ser
vice to All a vacancy submitted to
the congressman from the district in
which the vacancy exists and allow
him to select the man for appointment.
The democrats in reply to these
charges claim that the republicans
while in power went out of their, way
to load up the civil service with mem
bers of their party, and it is no viola
tion of the rules of the service to ap
point members of the party in power
to office, other things being equal.
Postmaster General Burleson and
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo are
the officials who are the principal of
fenders, the republicans claim.

""Jr There are , very few businessmen -who would not prefer to, travel
the road which leads to prosperity, but there are manywho .fail to

The traveler who would disregard guideposts, who would, not ex

Disregard advertising and you are not only likely te go wrong but

the man who neglects to read the advertisements, and they are few,

Civil Service Voted Down.
Republican senators of all factions
united in their effort "to have civl ser
vice, extended over the new employes,
but on the closest vote of the day they
were defeated 37 to 3.2. on an amend
ment offered, by Senator Lodge. Sen
ator Hoke Smith, who defended the bill
for the democrats, declared It was im
possible under the present civil ser
vice examinations to get men qualified
to administer the5 income tax law. "A
bright boy out of high school could
pass the examination," he said, "but
men of 40 or 45, equipped from busi
ness experience to do such work, prob
abiy would fail."
Non-Civil Service Employers for Two
Years.
"Do you think the judgment of a con
gressman would be better in the selec
tion of competent men than this ex
amination they have been conducting?"
replied Senator Smith. "None of the
men who have passed these examina
tions are as fit for them as the men
recommended by deputy collectors of
revenue."
As It was left by the senate, thejsill
authorizes the collector of internal rev
enue and the secretary of the treasury
to employ men outside the civil service
for the first two years after the Income
tax goes Into effect.

This retainer, the Transerlpt says,

Elliott Will Need Assistance.
It is understood that this will be
paid in a lump sum. The article con
tinues: "The directors felt that Mr. Mellen
was entitled to this compensation be
cause of his knowledge not only of
the comprehensive schemes which are
to be carried out by his successor but
of his intimate knowledge of the de
tailed transactions of the New Haven
road. It was felt that Howard Elliott.
the new president, in taking up his
new position, would require someone
upon whom he could rely for such in
formation. -
- Other Salary Compensation.
"Mr. Elliott had fully considered this
matter with-members of the executive
committee of the directors before he
accepted the position of president, and
at the time of the directors' meeting
in New lork Mr. Elliott arranged to
secure the co-operation of his prede
cessor in assuming his new duties.
"Mr. Mellen not only receives a re
tainer from those interested In the
New Haven, but also will receive the
equivalent of three years' salary as
president of the Boston and Maine and
the Maine Central railroads. Mr. Mel

subsidiary companies, but has been
paid no . salary, although having the
actual responsibility for the operation
of these properties."

Marsha Warringten's- Testimony In
White Slave Case.
San FVaneisce, Aug, 29. The trial of
P, Drew Oaminetti rolled swiftly for
ward today. The witnesses and the
evidence of the government were with
few exceptions identically the same as
in the ease of Maury J, Dlggs, eonvlet
ed of violating the-Mann white slave
law, Marsha Warrington ; had the
stand for the greater part of the day
and her testimony went" to show that
Carainetti was guilty of assisting in
transporting her and-- Lola Norris

The effort of the defense was te
preve that Caminettl had played a
passive part, One passage ef- the
cross examination is representative of
its whele trend, , -.

Carainetti, Miss Norris and yourself on

Labor day.
Lull Will Be Beneficial.
Nothing in the advices from Mex
ico City gave the administration offi- .
ciala cause for particular anxiety, and
it was the general conviction that a
lull in the diplomatic exchanges would
be . beneficial to all concerned. The
president, it is known, feels that good
may come from an opportunity for the
position of this government,, as an
nounced in his message of "Wednesday,
to "sink in."
Excitement (subsiding over the ex
change of proposals and replies would,
it was believed, lead to further nego
tiations between the officials of Mex
ico City and John Lind, the personal
representative of this government.
Encouraging Communications.
Mr, Lind, It was asserted tonight,
had been instructed from Washington
to continue to act at his own disere-.
tien -as to whether he should awa.1t
developments at Vera Cruz or to re
turn to Mexico Citv, Up to : a late
hour no dispatches had been received
at the state department from Mr. Lind.
Early - in the day Mr. : Bryan con
ferred with the president over the re
ply f Senor Gamboa, Mexican secre
tary of foreign affairs, to Mr. Llnd'a
second note. They also considered a
message sent by Mr. Lind tq WasKing"
ton . yesterday afternoon. k That theua
latest communications gave reason tor
hopeful expectations was freely admit,
ted,
Lind May Send Third Note. .
" Mr. Lind, it was reported, .protetbly
would make the next move in the ne
gotiations; which the president em
phatically, asserted in his message had
not been closed and could be resumed
on the initiative of either nation. The
fact that the Mexico City officials in
their second note of reply had receded
from the demand for an exchange of
accredited ambassadors, it was point
ed: out, left an opening- for future
moves. The view was expressed that
the .Gamboa reply to the second Amer
ican note might actuate Mr Lind to
address a third note to the officials of
the Huerta government. Acting at Ms
own discretion, it was suggested that
the " American representative might
forward a message to Mexico City
from Vera Cruz before determining
upon going to the Mexican capital in
person for a renewal of direct nego
tiations. '
General Approval of Message.
Before deciding- to go to; Cornish,
President Wilson discussed the situa
tion at length with cabinet officers and
arrangements were made whereby he
could toe notified at once of any develn
opments. Should anything' happen to
require his presence in Washington
before Tuesday, he planned to return
at a moment's notice. - Mr, Tumulty,
secretary to the president, remained
in Washington tonight to be in direct
touch with developments, planning to
go to -his New Jersey home tomorrow,
however, upon the return of Secretary
Bryan.
Hundreds of ' telegrams and letters
reached the WhrT& House today from
all parts of the country, expressing
approval of President Wilson's mes
sage on Mexico. These were not made
public, but the president is known to
have been highly gratified at the sym
pathetic reception his . course had re
ceived. LIND WONT GO BACK.
