Inquiry Orders Thaw Back to
New York State.
COATICOOK. Quo., .Sept. fi. Harry
K. Thaw will be produced before the
full kind's bench, appeal side, at
.Montreal, on the morning of Sept. 15.
Meantime ho may be detained here
m at Sherbrooke, or taken to Mon
treal on a moment's notice, at the dis
cretion of the Immigration authori
ties. Two of his counsel, J. F. Green
ehlelds and N. K. Latlamme, obtained
a double wrlt-habeas corpus and
prohibition at Montreal Friday and
whirled in a special train into Coati
cook where not l"ng before the im
migration authorities had ordered
Thaw's deportation from the Domin
ion. Counsel for Thaw who had re
mained in Coaticook had announced
that the writ was returnable forth
with and a special train was made up
to take the prisoner to Montreal Fri
day night. A great crowd collected
about the station where Thaw was
confined and it was not until S o'clock
that It became known that he might
remain here several days because the
writ is not returnable until Sept. 15.
There were cheers when the writ
arrived and more cheers whenever
Thaw appeared at the window of the
detention room. When the special
train pulled out for Montreal with
out Thaw aboard there weru cries of
disappointment then more cheering
when the news pot abroad that for
Thaw the new move meant ten days'
delay.
Mocks Importation.
Not only by the writ secured in
"Montreal but by the action of his at
torneys on appeal did Thaw Friday
block his deportation. In addition
lie had the ple.tsurablo knowledge
that his old enemy, William Travers
Jerome, had been arrested charged
with gambling.
If ever a little town produced
"sensations", Coaticook did Friday.
First, came Jerome's arrest and re
lease on bail, on a charge that he hail
.played poker Thursday on railroad
'property with some newspapermen.
'Then camo word that Thaw's lawyers
had obtained in Montreal, the writ
demanding his production in court
there.
Meantime the special board of in
miiry ordered Thaw's deportation to
Vermont under two clauses of the im
migration act. namely, that he had
entered anada by stealth and had
within five, years been an inmate of
nn institution for the insane. From
both these decisions Thaw's lawyers
appealed.
Charter Stxxlnl Train.
The immigration officers, headed by
E. Rlako Robertson, were powerless,
and Thaw remained in the detention
room over the Orand Trunk railway
station. Finally the Thaw lawyers in
Montreal, J. N. ( Ireenshlebls and X.
K. 1-KiFlamme, chartered a special
train and came here with the writ
itself, serving it this evening.
Jerome's arrest was due to two
causes, and was not prompted in any
way by the Thaw lawyers. One and
all they expressed indignation at the
move and said they were ready to aid
him. What the arrest really signified
v;m the state of public ' opinion here
ns decidedly pro-Thaw and more de
cidedly anti-Jerome. In th" second
place there is ;i split in the town
council over the- action of Chief of
Police John R-udreau. Thaw's orig
inal captor, ami subsequent petitioner
for the writ of habeas corpus which
forced Thaw out of jail at Sher
brooko into the hands of the immi
gration authorities.
Pome of the aldermen contend that
Rotidrcau was influenced and acted
"unwisely in the habeas corpus mat
ter and should resign. Among his
opponents is A. A. Hopkins, chair
man of the police committee of the;
couiicil. Hopkins employs in his grist!
mill Milford Aldrich, the complain
ant against Jerome. Aldrich s:iys lie
acted as a zealous citizen and his
contention was sustained by A. C.
Hansnr.. Joint crown prosecutor, who
caused the warrant to be issued.
Shocked at Jerome.
"We were shocked." said Hansen,
"to see Mr. Jerome playing cards for
money in public and it was our dutv
to arrest him. Little hildren saw
him and were talking about it. We
have never had another arrest of its
kind here. If J rome tri to leave
this jurisdiction he will be arrested."
Mr. J rome left town in his auto
mobile Friday afternoon. It was ex
plained that he had "gone for a ride".
Ills case Is set for hearing before a
magistrate Saturday morning. Pun
ishment on conviction of gambling
on railroad property may range, at
the discretion of the c. urt, from a
line, amount unspecified, to a prison
sentence, the maximum of which is
on year.
In finding Thaw subject to depor
tation a decision which was ren
dered after 4 o'clock Friday after
noon the board of inquiry made this
announcement:
"This is to certify that Harry K.
Thaw of the Cnited States of Amer
ica, a person who entered Canada at
the Internationa', boundary line be
tween the state of Vermont and the
province of Quebec, on or about the

amined by the hoard of inquiry at

the following reasons:
Hoard-. Statement.
"That he, Harry K. Thaw, did en
ter Canada at a place other than a
port of entry, and that he did not
forthwith report such entry to the
nearest immigration officer and pre
sent himself for examination as re
quired by law.
"That he, Harry K. Thaw, eluded
examination by an officer, entqj-ed
Canada by stealth, contrary to the
provisions of the immigration act.
"That evidence considered trust
worthy by the board has been sub
mitted to the board that he, Harry K.
Thaw, has been insane within five
years previous to the present date,
and that consequently he, the said
Harry K. Thaw, comes within the
prohibited classes mentioned in sec
tion three of the immigration act.
which section provides that persons
who have ben insane within live
years previous shall not be permitted
to U nd in Canada or in case of hav
ing i nded in or entered Canada,
shall not bo permitted to remain
there in.
"And the said Harry K. Thaw is
hereby ordered to be deported to tho
state of Vermont whence he came
to Canada."
Nothing New in the Situation is
Expected Until Zamacona e
Inclan Reaches Washington.
Coming is Surprise.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. Develop
ments in the Mexican situation are
likely to wait th- arrival in Washing
ton of Manuel de Zamacona e Inclan,
personal envoy of the Huerta gov
ernment, to continue with the Wash
ington administration the negotiations
began by John land, personal repre
sentative of Pres. Wilson in Mexico.
Administration officials had not de
cided Friday night whether they
would receive Senor de Zanacona un
less he brought positive assurances of
Huerta's elimination from the situa
tion in Mexico and was ready to act
upon the other points in the American
proposals for the establishment of
peace.
.Some of the Washington officials
feel that the United States has made
its position sufficiently clear through
the parleys conducted by Mr. Rind,
and the address of President Wilson
to congress. Further negotiations on
the same points they regard as use
less and merelv a process of delay.
There is a disposition however to re
ceive Senor de Zamecona in view of
the courtesy shown Mr. Eind.
Senor de Zamaeona's chtef connec
tion with the Mexican government in
the past has been in financial matters
and his mission is said to contemplate
not only the furtherance of the nego
tiations looking toward peace, but the
floating of a loan that would be en
couraged by the American govern
ment. He has managed Mexico's fi
nancial affairs in Europe heretofore,
and during his stay here as ambas
sador to the United States in 1911 be
came widely known and popular with
diplomatic corps.
Senor fle Zamaeona's departure
from Vera Cruz Thursday took Wash
ington officials somewhat by surprise,
for while the suggestion had been
made to them by the Huerta govern
ment that he might be sent to YVash
incton to conduct further negotiations
the Huerta administration ordered
him to proceed to the United States
without awaiting the answer of the
American government.

Impeached Governor of New

Bonds Announces.

Noted Colored Educator Will

McGovern, of Wisconsin,
Will Come During the Year
Banquets On Third Tuesdays
Cov. William A. Sulzer, impeached
executive of New York and now light
ing the Tammany Hall gang of New
York to retain his gubernatorial seat,
will probably be one of the big cards
of the Knife and Fork club activities
during the season of 1913 and 1914.
This was announced Saturday by K.
T. Bonds, chairman of the publicity
committee of the organization.
Sulzer was to have appeared last
May during the closing days of the
season, but owing to circumstances
arising at the time, he was unable to
come, but gave his promise to be on
hand during the early part of this sea
son. Just when Sulzer will be on the
program could not be announced deii
niteiy, but that he will appear is as
sured. It is predicted that no matter what
the outcome of his present light with
the Tammany gang in New York, it is
assured his speech will be a grilling
expose of that political organization's
work. Sulzer is well acquainted with
its tactics. His story is certain to be
an interesting one.
VU1 Hot Capital -Men.
A play for the big men of Washing
ton will be the slogan of the club this
year, said Mr. Bonds. No stone will
be left unturned to get as many of the
most prominent men of the capital as
possible.
The season's activities begin Oct. 21
at the Oliver hotel, when Booker T.
Washington, the Negro orator, will
feature the program. What Washing
ton's address will be could not be
stated, but probably it will be a plea
for his race. Following this, regular
meetings will be held the third Tues
day of every month. One of the big
gest seasons of the year is expected.
The limit list of 4 00 members is al
ieady full, with -0 applicants on the
waiting list.
Another big man to appear will be
Gov. McGovern of Wisconsin and Rep.
Wilson of Oklahoma. Both men are
known as wonderful orators and light
ers for the rights of their con stitu
ents. Congressmen, representatives
and other shining lights from Wash
ington will appear from time to time
on the program. Thai no man is too
big for the Knife and Fork club to
tackle was indicated when Mr. Bonds
said that attempts were made last year
to secure Col. Uoosevelt and Sen. Rob
ert I "aFolIette. Owing to the conven
tion light then being waged and other
dates it was impossible to secure the
men.
Officers for the present season are:
Samuel Keeper, president; Harry El
liott, vice president; Lloyd Greenan,
secretary and treasurer. Fred Wood
ward is chairman of the speakers com
mittee and K. T. Bonds of the pub
licity committee. Full committees
will be announced later.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. C. Gen.
Snvoff. former commander-in-chief of
the Bulgarian army, whose troops de
feated the Turks in the first Balkan
war. declared today that if the powers
would not interfere Bulgaria could
rout the Greeks within a week.
It is announced that a treaty be
tween Turkey and Bulgaria will soon
be Signed. There is much speculation
as to its contents. There is good
ground for the belief that it is a
treaty of alliance and that the Bul
gars may soon join the Turks in war
upon Greece.
Turkish military operations against

Been Won Complications

PROSECUTOR REFUSES
TO DROP JEROME CASE
Declares Ex-District Attorney's
Offense in Gambling in Pub
lic Cannot Pass Unnoticed
Accused Attorney Now in
New Hampshire.
COATICOOK. Que.. Sept. 6. About
one year's time may elapse before it
is legally determined whether Harry
K. Thaw, the fugitive from the Matte
awan asylum for the criminal insane,
is to he deported from Canada, or is
to receive the protection of its laws.
Assurance to this effect was given to
Thau today by his counsel.
Thaw is certain that lie has won a
long delay and immediately after
breakfast Jjegan packing up tor tho
journey to" Montreal where he must
be produced in the supreme court on
Sept. 15, when arguments will be de
livered on the writ of habeas corpus
secured by J. N. Grsenshield and N.
K. La Flam me from Justices Cross and
Gervais in the court of appeals. It
had been supposed that .Ireenshield
and LaFlamme had withrawn from
the case, seeing nothing nut defeat,
but their retreat was cr.ly a masterly
piece of strategy Y,y which the doors
may have been opened lor a test of
the constitutionality of the immigra
tion law governing deportation.
Thaw Heady to Move.
The fugitive was not certain when
he would be taken to Montreal but he
assumed that no time would be lost
and said he was ready to make the
trip today. In fact. Thaw welcomed
the change of surroifndinxs although
he has been touched by the evidences
of friendship shown for him here.
Complications have been added to
the general aspct of the Thaw case
by the events subsequent to the arrest
of William Travtrs Jerome, ex-district
attorney of New York on the charge
of gambling. Mr. Jerome was to be
arraigned before Magistrate McKee
at 9:30 this morning, but Hector Ver
rett. acting for the New York lawyer,
had the hearing continued for a week.
Meantime Mr. Jerome left Canada,
going to Nortons Mills, Vt. In a senso
Mr. Jerome made of himself a fugi
tive from Justice, reversing the posi
tion of Thaw, who is a fugitive in
Can-.'.da. Influence had been brought
to bear upon Crown Prosecutor A. C.
Hanson to have the charge against
Mr. Jerome, who is at liberty on $.0 0
bail, dropped. The crown prosecutor
refused to do this.
Has Hecclveil Complaints.
"I received a great number of com
plaints about the open gambling of
Mr. Jerome, and I consider it my duty
to push this case against him," said
the prosecutor. "He was setting a
bad example for the children of this
community by gaming in public. Ev
eryone could see him and his com
panions playing."
This is a sort of puritanical com
munity and gambling is looked upon
as a serious offense. Thaw had double
cause for elation and he showed by
act and utterance that he is enjoying
the discomfiture of the prosecution.
In the first place he has gained a
notable point in securing a writ of
habeas corpus returnable in Montreal
and in the second place his namenis,
Mr. Jerome, is in trouble, with the
possible sentence of a year staring
him in the face.
Will Fbzht Indefinitely. i
"It was a glorious victory, a bril-j
liant legal achievement," exclaimed
Thaw, jubilantly. "I had about given
up hope of lighting further on Ca
nadian soil when this remarkable
court was brought about by Mr. Green
shield and Mr. aFJam'mo. 1 have
been assured today by V. Is. .hurt
le ff, mv attorney of record, that I
probably will be able to tight my case
out indefinitely in order to establish
my civic status in Canada."
Thaw's lawyers here are well arm
ed. In addition to the writ of habeas
corpus they have two other instru-
menus which open fighting channels.
These are an injunction restraining I
the immigration inquiry from enforc
ing any decision in the matter of ejec
tion of Thaw from the decision of
Judge Matthew Hutchinson. The court
of appeals will hear arguments upon
the appeal from Judge Hutchinson's
decision in the Uourdreau habeas cor
pus liter.
Complications ArUlrcz.
Complications are arising today and
there are bound to become more and
more tangled as the case proceeds.
Interesting points of law are being
raised. Of these the appeal of Judge
Hutchinson's decision in the Boudreau
habeas corpus proceedings probably
Will attract IUOt auruu-ii. liitc
proceedings Constable John Boudreau
was placed in the position of trying
to free a man whom he himself had
arrested.
It was rumored that a warrant
charging Mr. Jerome with being a fu
gitive from justice would be issued but
no steps had been taken in that di
rection, according to the crown prose
cutor. It is believed by many that
the Jerome case will sro to the grand
jury Mondav. Mr. Jerome will have
to stand trial in the October term of
the King's bench.
Capt. John Lanyon. who has been
Jerome's inseparable companion,
scoffed at the Idea that the New York
lawver would forfeit his ball by re
maining in the I'nited States.

CLEVELAND MAYOR'S
PARTNER NABBED FOR
PASSING BOGUS CHECK
CHICAGO, Sept. 6. On a charge of
issuing a fraudulent check for $1.S0
W. D. McTighe, former law partner
of Mayor Newton D. Uaker, of Cleve
land was being held by the police here
today. McTight disappeared from
Cleveland last June when losses in
speculating embarrassed him. At the
time he left he was executor of a
$100,000 estate left his wife by her
uncle, John M. Stewart, who died in
Cleveland two years ago. He told the
police today that he had attempted
to better his financial losses by specu
lation on the open board of trade. He
said he issued the $1.S0 check to buy
food. He had been living in Chicago
under the name of Henry A. Mellen
for the last four months while a nation-wide
search for him had been on.
NEW DIFFICULTY STOPS
GRAND JURY ACTON ON
CARELESS CANDIDATES
An unforseen difficulty arose Satur
day regarding the three men who
failed to tile their primary campaign
expense accounts within the time limit
provided, by law. The time expired
Friday night and three men failed to
report their bills. According to statute
they were liable to a grand jury in
vestigation. Saturday morning the prosecutor's
office held that it could not take action
until notified formally by the county
clerk, of the full list of candidates
and those who did not file. The law
states that the county clerk must no
tify the prosecutor within ten days of
the expired time and the prosecutor
must take action within fifteen days
after he receive snoticc.
The county clerk's office asserts it
has no official list of the candidates
who were in the campaign and cannot
supply the prosecutor. The prose
cutor holds that he cannot take action
until notified by the clerk.
Those who failed to file their ex
pense account according to unofficial
report, within the required time are,
Balasz Pajor, William Solarek and
John H. Clements.
AROUSES IRE OF
Objection Raised When James
A. Emery Charges That Con
gressmen Often Keep Others
Away From Sessions.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. James A.
Emery, Washington representative of
National Association of 'Manufactur
ers, aroused the Ire of members of the
house lobby investigating commltteo
Friday by an indirect comparison of
the methods of Martin M. Mulhall,
the lobbyist, with those of congress
men. Following the reading of one of
Mulhall's letters In which the lobby
ist referred to keeping members away
from an important house committee
meeting, Emery asked if a private cit
izen had not as great a right to ask
a member to stay away from a com
mittee meeting or avoid a vote on the
floor as a fellow congressman had.
He added it was well known to every
man who had served two years in the
house that members frequently made
requests of this sort.
Rep. Stafford declared that In his
eight years of service in the house he
had never heard of such a request and
Chairman Garrett said that in his
opinion a member could do "ew
things worse" and that such absence
would be "an offense against con
stituents and the public."
Martin M. Mulhlal, former lobby
ist for the association finished his
testimony Friday and General Mana
ger Bird who followed him upon tho
stand made his answer to Mulhall's
charges. The committee hoped with
a night session to conclude its work
tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO. .Sept. 6. F.
Drew Caminetti, son of the commis

victed of violating the white slavo
law, will not likely appeal his case.
The young man said that the fact that
he was convicted on only one of the
four counts, was in a way a vindica
tion. "I am relieved now that the long
strain is over." said Caminetti today.
"I am glad the jury did not disagree
and that the mess is not to be gone
over again. I am found guilty of vio
lating the white slave law in taking
Lola Norris to Reno but I am not
guilty of persuading or enticing her

aid was asked of Uttle Rock. Spe

Firemen m.-ny times endeavored to
destroy buildings yet untouched, but
the Hames swept over the partially
wrecked . buildings and brok? out in
new places.
