After Three Minutes of Liberty Thaw is Seized By Immigration
Authorities and Rushed to Coaticook, Where He Must

| day—Lawyers Follow to Make Last Fight.
Refugee Shocked at Court’s Decree
Coaticook, Que., September 3.—Harry Kendall Thaw, pr- &(
out of the Sherbrooke jail on a writ of habeas corpus obta' ° *
by a coup of William Travers Jerome, enjoyed three minutes'of
/liberty this afternoon and .was then seized by the Dominion im
migration authorities and hustled by automobile to this little
town where tonight he paced the floor in the immigration de
tention room. Topxorrow morning a special board of inquiry
Jwill set in his case and by night he may be thrust across the Ver
mont border as an undesirable alien. It was generally pre
dicted tonight that before many hours Thaw would be back in
the Matteawan asylum from which he escaped Sunday,
August 17.
The beginning of the end of Tb«>v’»
refuge In Canada came with dramatic
^wlftuena. A writ of hnhen* corpu*
aned ont laat Saturday at the direc
tion of Jerome with John lioudreau,
rhlef of police of thin village, an pr -
tltloner, wii auMtnlncd at 2i45 o’clock
riblM afternoon by Matthew Hatohlnnon,
Muperlor judge of the district of St.
Francis, sitting In chambers at Sher
brooke. Stolid, palld, numb. Thaw sat
mot live feet from the Judge as he read
^the decision. When In the very last
paragraph the court declared him n free
man, Thaw seemed to crumple up on
the lounge w here he sat. A cigar stump
fell from his left hand and from his
right baud fluttered two gny bits of
ribbon m child had given him.
SAYS GOOD-BY
TO REPORTERS
j But he did not rise. W. K. McKeown
"of ills counsel leaned over and patting
on the shoulder, whispered. Thaw
raised his big, staring eyes and stood up.
immigration officers moved near him and
then Thaw began slowly to move to the
door. At tb threshold Assistant Super
intendent Ui. ertson of the immigration
ljjieau said simply, “Come with us, Mr.
Thaw.” And without a word, except a
hoarse good-by to the reporters, Thaw
obeyed. Five minutes later a gray road
^tei streaked away from the courthouse.
Jn the back seat was Thaw. He had not
even been given time to pack his scanty
belongings and voluminous correspond
ence in his cell. In an hour he was here
in Coaticook, guarded in the detention
gooni by two stalwart dominion police.
j^Jono but counsel was allowed to see him.
The 23-mile trip overland was without
special incident. Thaw expressed no sur
prise, evidenced no grief. Behind him
y*ailed his defeated lawyers.
■fHAVTS LAWYERS
ISSUE STATEMENT
w. L.. Shurtieff, the first of the Thaw
lawyers to arrive, issued this statement:
'f'"lf they have doctors already to pro
mice Thaw insane, as I am informed
they have, there is almost no hope of
preventing ids immediate deportation. I
believe if we could get the case into the
courts, we could prove tills immigration
act unconstitutional on the ground that
it is inconsistent with the Ashburton
treaty. But if the authorities at Ottawa
are as determined to send Thaw back
us they seem to be, then I doubt, they
would pay any attention to any writ we
might obtain.”
Thaw, when told that the inquiry was
to be held secret, wrote out this question
and sent it down to the reporters:
"Is it true that English law allows a
secret trial, with the public excluded,
when a man s life or liberty is at stake,
like in Turkey, or Bulgaria?"
LAWYERS HURRY
TO MAkE LAST STAND
Thaw s chief counsel, J. N. Oreenshields,
a Monteable millionaire. It was said is hur
i ving here to make a last desperate stand.
Another eminent Thaw lawyer due to
at rive was N. K. EaFlamme, also of Mon
treal. Charles D. White, already here,
was discouraged and pessimistic.
"It looks as if they were going to rail
road him." he said. "Those higher up
have apparently mude up their minds.”
Jerome had not a word to say. As if
divining In advance that Thaw was to
lie forced out of the Sherbrooke Jail, he
pieteded, him here by automobile and

SEARCHING PROBE

WRECK TOBE MADE
Commerce Commission to
Make Most Thorough
Probe Ever Given
Railroad Disaster
New Haven, Conn., September 3,—With
21 dead and five dying as the result of
the wreck near New Haven yesterday
morning of the Bar Harbor express, the
New York, New Haven and Hartford rail
road faces tonight a public inquiry into
tile causes of the disaster by the inter
state commerce commission. It will be
gin Friday and will be the most search
ing over conducted by the commission into
any railroad catastrophe.
This was announced tonight by H. W.
Belnap, chief inspector of the commission,
who arrived here today. Commissioner
MeOhord will preside. Mr. Belnap said
the inquiry would "get down to funda
mentals" and determine what causes in
tlie general operation and management
of the road were responsible for the series
of fata! wgecks which have afflicted the
New Haven for the last two or three
years, culminating in yesterdays, the
most disastrous of all.
I ntii the interstate commerce commis
sion witnesses tell their story the of
ficial explanation given out by the com
pany will be the only version of the
causes of tile wreck available. Coroner
Mix persisted today in refusing to make
public tlte testimony of Engineer Miller
of the AA'hite Mountain express, which
crashed into the Bar Harbor train, or of
Flagman Murray of the latter train, both
of Whom lie examined yesterday in a pre
liminary investigation. This attitude was
also taken by C. C. Elwell, chief en
gineer of the Connecticut public utilities
commission, who attended the hearing.
The coroner will hegin tomorrow Ills for
mal inquest to tlx. he said, "the criminal
responsibility,” but this also will be a
private affair.
Acting ui#tcr telegraphic instructions
from Commissioner McChord, Mr. Belnap
today demanded that he be allowed to be
present at the inquest. To this the coro
ner acceded and promised him a copy of
testimony already taken.
President Elliott tonight declared that
as far as he was concerned he was per
fectly willing for the testimony to be
come public, but had refrained from giv
ing it out In deference to the coroner.
He declared that when the questions
were raised of admitting newspaper
men to yesterday's hearing and of
making public the testimony then
taken, the^railroad had deferred to the
opinions of the coronor and represen
tatives of the public service commis
sion, and said: "It appears that the
public authorities feel that It is unwise
at this time to make public the testi
mony.”
He added:

f Immediate Consideration.
Senate Hearings
Washington, September 3.—The ad
ministration currency bill was under
fire at both ends of the capitol today.
While representatives of the American
Bankers’ association continued their
criticism of the bill before the Senate
currency committee, republican mem
bers of the House committee made an
ineffectual effort to have new hearings
opened there.
The administration forces on the
House committee defeated th,e plan for
new hearings by a vote of 10 to 8 All
of the republicans supported a resolu
tion offered by Representative Burke
of Pennsylvania (republican), which
asked that the Secretury of the Treas
ury, the Comptroller of the Currency
and representatives of the American
Bankers' association be heard. The
Burke resolution was defeated and the
committee adopted one by Representa
tive Wingo of Arkansas (democrat) de
claring the views of the American
Bankers' association were fully known
and that the amendments proposed by
the recent bankers’ conference at Chi
cago had been “repeatedly suggested
to the framers of the bill and every
one of them seriously discussed and
freely considered by those responsible
to the country for this legislation.”
Urge Immediate Consideration
This action will result in the con
clusion of consideration of the bill by
the House committee late tomorrow and
the. reporting of the measure to the
House Monday. Democratic leaders then
will urge immediate consideration of
the bill. In the committee meeting to
day Representative Ragsdale of South
Carolina was the only democrat who
favored the opening of new hearings.
The Senate hearings will continue
ETiroughout the week, with members of
the bankers’ committee as chief wit
nesses. It is expected that republican
members of the committee will seek to
defer all currency legislation until
December.
Today’s session of the Senate com
mittee was interrupted by a banker
not a member of the Chicago confer
[?nce committee, who opposed many of
the suggestions made by the bankers'
committee. This witness, President
Johnston of the National Reserve bank
jf Kansas City, saifi the central bank
Idea advocated by many bankers tend
ed to “centralization of power." He,
favored the administration plan as a
decentralization of power.
FestuB J. Wade, president ^of the
Mercantile Trust company of St. Louis,
chief representative of the bankers’
conference committee, declared the
national banks of the country ought not
to be compelled to surrender one
tenth of their capital and one-half of
their reserves to the proposed govern
mental system, if they were to he de
nied representation on the federal re
serve board.
“Force Bill” Charged
Mr. Wade charged that the adminis
tration bill was a “force bill#’ would
accomplish far less in bringing about
a satisfactory reorganization of the
banking system than would a plan that
was more attractive to the banks.
He said the plan would give national
banks few advantages that they would
not enjoy under state bank charters;
and that marry of them would retire to
the state bank field.
The witness declared the banks did
not care to own the stock of the region
al reserve banks and would be willing
that it should go into the hands of
private subscribers; but he did not be
lieve such a plan could be worked out
without putting the government into
the general banking business.
“Throw the doors open to anybody
who wants to own the stock,” he said
emphatically. “We will take it if you
lon’t force us to, and make the plan
Attractive enough.** v
The refusal of but 10 per cent of the
national hanks in the different sec
tions of the country to join the pro- ;
posed system, would make it impossi
ble to secure the necessary $5,000,000
capital for regional reserve hanks in
the middle states and in the Pacific
•oast states, said Mr. Wade. He added,
however, that he had figured out the
larger national banks as among the
number that might withdraw from na
tional bank charters.
Would Be Inoperative
"It is my opinion," he stated, "that
If the present bill were passed today,
t would be absolutely Inoperative to- 1
morrow. You have discouraged, by its I
force provisions, the men who have
built national banking up to its pres
ent development. If you attenmt to put
this bill through, calling for the or
ganization of 12 reserve banks each
with a minimum capital of 15,000,000,
md confine the subscriptions to stock
to national banks, it is our judgment
that the plan will be unsuccessful."
Mr. Wade indorsed a suggestion made
he selects to serve on the federal re
selection of a list of 50 or more men
by the banks, from which list the Pres
ident might appoint the four members
lie selects to serve on the feedral re
serve board.
What we want is banking experience,
credit experience, and financial wisdom
on that board, he said.

PRESIDENT DAVIS
DEFENDS METHODS
OF COAL OPERATORS
Tells the Senate Committee
Operators Had Right to
Use Force in Repulsing
Strike Organizers
Washington, September 3.—Emphatic de
fense of the right of West Virginia dial
operators to keep labor organizers oft
their property by the use of fore, fea
tured tiie testimony today of M. T. Da-1
vis, president of the Paint Creek Con
solidated Coal company, before the Senate
special committee Investigating recent
troubles in the coal fields.
Mr. Davis declared that the attempts
of United Mine Workers' agents to come
into the district and unionize the mines
caused the strikes which led to the sen
atorial investigation, and 'he pictured
scenes of contentment and prosperity
among the minors before the advent of
the ''outsiders."
Tills witness and his son, Ira F. Davis,
general manager of the Paint Creek com
pany, told the committee that compara
tively harmonious oonilitlons now existed
on Cabin creek, the miners having re
turned to work on August 1, after an
agreement to operate tile mines as "open
shops" witli an increase of 11 per cent
in waged.
Defend “Guard System”
Both witnesses defended the “guard
system" as resulting in better order.
The younger Davis declared in response
to a question from Senator Kenyon that
no profit was earned from medical treat
ment of miners and their families.
W. S. Woods, general manager of the
Standard Spilt Coal company on Paint
creek, testified briefly in defense of the
operators’ course in that district, and
Attorney Knight forr the operators, tak
ing the stand himself, told of advising
the operators that they had the right to
evict the striking miners from the com
pany houses without going Into the courts
and defended that advice.

A BE REACHED
v .(gton Officials Inclined to Take
Oumhoa's Assurance That (Jen.
Huerta Will Not Be Candi
date for Presidency on
its Face Value
Washington, September 8*—Admlms
1 ration officials declared late tonight
that hoth N cl won O’Shaiighncssy, charge
d'affaires of the American embassy at
Mexico City, and John Lind, President
W'llson's personal envoy at Vera Cray,
were In frequent communion*Ion with
officials of the Huerta government con
cerning m new basis for negotiation*
through which It was hoped to hrlug
about peace In Mexico.
A message from Mr. O'Shaughnesay
reached President Wilson today, and
while Its contents were not disclosed, It
was said to be indicative of important de
velopments in the next few days.
Haa Made Itself Clear
The new basis for the parlous, most vf
which are being carried on orally, con
templates certain questions u« having
been definitely disposed of. The Wash
ington government considers that it lias
made itself quite clear that it cannot
under any circumstances recognize tile
Huerta government and does not expect
any further demands along that line. The
administration, moreover, though hoping
for a positive assurance that Huerta will
not be a candidate in the approaching
elections, is inclined to accept on its
value the assertions of Federico Gamboa,
Mexican minister of foreign affairs, ia
Ills two notes to Mr. Lind, that Huerta is
ineligible for re-election as meaning his
elimination from the presidential ra e.
Washington officials think an amicablo
understanding on this point undoubtedly
will be reached.
With these fundamentals- settled, it is
understood that fv.rt.her negotiations by
Messrs. o’Shaughnessy and Lind would
look to the establishment of an effective
armistice and the holding of a fair and
free election.
W ashington, September 3.—-Adminiatra
tion officials revealed tonight that the
optimism they have felt In the lust few
days over the Mexican situation had been
based largely upon what they have con
strued as an Indirect assurance of Vic
torlano Huerta’s intention not to be a
candidate for the presidency of Mexico
in the October elections.
Much stress was laid at the White
House and in other official quarters on
the assertions of Federico Gamboa, Mex
ican minister of foreign affairs, in his
last note, to John Lind, pointing out the
ineligibility of Huerta under the Mexican
constitution to become a candidate to suc
ceed himself.
While the administration here does not
regard Huerta as the constitutionally
chosen provisional president of Mexico
and therefore does not consider him nec
essarily bound by restrictions in this con
nection, they admittedly see In the Gam
boa note a favorable answer to the chief
American proposal, that Huerta shall not
he a candidate In the forthcoming elec
tions.
Could Be Evaded
By some diplomats and among the: con
stitutionalists here, the view is held, how
ever, that the constitutional prohibition
against Huerta's candidacy would easily
be evaded by his resignation In favor of
another provisional president some time
before the election.
Administration officials who realize
that such a contingency is possible be
lieve, nevertheless, Senor Gamboa was
acting in good faith In his declaration
that the candidacy of Huerta had not
been raised as an Issue in Mexico before
the United States brought it Into the dis
cussion, that everybody there had tak**n
into consideration his ineligibility for the
presidency and had not launched any
campaign for him.
Outside of administration quartets,
however, much significance Is attached to
the pronouncement in concert of various
official and semi-official newspapers In
Mexico City a few days ago that Huerta
now would be compelled to be a candidate
because he had successfully defied the
United States in the IJnd negotiations
High officials of the administration
stated most emphatically that they felt
quite satisfied of Huerta’s elimination
from the presidential race. His subse
quent election would not alter the atti
tude of the United States—namely, that
recognition could not bo extended to him.
Their action w'ould be based on the prece
dent of President Hayes in 1877. who re
fused to recognize Porfirio Diaz until It
could be determined whether the govern
ment set up was approved by the Mex
ican people and could guarantee interna
tional obligations.
Appreciate Elimination
Unofficial reports continue to reach
Washington that the Huerta government
cannot last much longer on account of the
financial difficulties.
The arrival today from Mexico City of
Dr. William Bayard Hale, who has been
making a study of politics in Mexico for
the last three months. Is calculated to add

SENATE FAILS TO TAKE
ACTION ON DANIELS MATTER
Washington, September 3.—The Senate,
committee on raval affairs, after wi'
hour’s conference with Secretary L>an-1
lels, and another hour’s debate behind
closed doors today, declined to decide
whether the secretary had been justified
In amending the recommendations con
cerning examinations for commissions in
the marine corps, so as to eliminate the
test for ' aptitude and probable effi
ciency.'*
Secretary Daniels explained his recent
action in rejecting four young men who
I
• > \ i.
had been recommended for commission*
after examination. He said he had been
convinced that the tests for aptitude
and efficiency operated directly against
enlisted men who took the examlna
tiotv^or commissions.
Friends of the candidates to whom
commissions were refused by the secre
tary, demanded that the young men be
recognized. Members of the committee
said tonight the matter probably would
rest for the present without action and
the candidates recommended by .Secre
tary Daniels would remain unconfirmed
for some time.
\
