THAW FAULK IS
Escaped Slayer, Arrested in Can
adian Village, Defies Captors.
Admits Identity Readily.
N
S '
SHERBROOK, Que., Aug. 19.—Har
ry K. Thaw, who escaped from Mat-
teawan asylum Sunday and was ar-
ed in Coaticook to-day, was trans-
rested in Coaticook to-day, was trans-
ternoon.
Thaw has retained W. L. Shurte-
leff, one of the best known lawyers
in Eastern Canada and one of the
most sensational international legal
fights in Canadian history is expect
ed.
The United States Government will
be represented by Heeter Verret, K.
C.
Thaw may be deported as a maniac
upon request of the New York au
thorities, according to the opinions of
Canadian official-
No sooner was Thaw brought here
than he began to realize the serious
ness of his predicament, and he be
gan to bombard v rious sections of
the United State with messages. H?
notified his familv at Cresson, Pa., of
his | rrest and received word that rep
resentatives of the family were start
ing at once for Sherbrooke. It is un
derstood that Mrs. Mary Thaw, the
aged mother of the fugutive, will
come here.
Thaw will not discuss his move
ments since he got away from the
New York institution Sunday morn
ing, except to say that he boarded a
train east of Boston. He said he was
making for the coast and planned to
sail for Europe.
Thaw was accompanied here by two
men, one heavily built and the other
slight and both smooth shaven.
Recognized on Train.
Deputy Sheriff Burleigh Kelsey, of
Colebrook, recognized Thaw on a
train bound for Canada. Kelsey got
off at Colebrook, got an automobile
and after a chase of almost 20 rpiles
overtook Thaw with two companions
in Coaticook. They had left the
train at Beecher Falls and driven
across the border into Canada.
Kelsey notified the Coaticook po
lice and kept on their trail. Thaw,
when arrested, made no resistance
and to-day will be lodged in the jail
at Sherbrooke, Quebec.
Kelsey was on his way home to
Colebrook after a trip South and was
reading a paper when a stranger came
from a few seats down the aisle in
the smoking car and asked for a
match. The Deputy Sheriff was read
ing the story of Thaw’s escaping in
the paper and a picture of Thaw
stared up from the paper. He looked
at the stranger and saw that the
likeness at once resembled the strang-
l.|* er.
»r ' The stranger at once noticed the
stare and said: “What’s the matter?
Do you think you know who I am?” *
“I could make a pretty good guess,”
said Kelsey.
“Well, who am I then?” the strang
er demanded.
“I think you are Harry K. Thaw\”
Kelsey said the stranger laughed
uneasily and then said blandly, “Well,
you are right. I am Thaw. But you
don’t want me. You couldn't do any
thing to me if you wanted to. They
have acquitted me of murder and you
can’t, extradite me.”
“Where are you bound for?” Kel
sey asked.
“Canada,” the man answered.
Pursues Him in Auto.
K'elsey picked up his paper again
and the man who had declared he
was Thaw went back to his seat with
the match he had come to get. Depu
ty Sheriff Kelsey got off the train
here. Then he found 1* W. Barbour
and Warner Drew and they decided
to chase the party.
They got an automobile and mane
a quick run to Beecher Falls, the next
station, just south of the Canadian
line. There Kelsey made inquiries
and found that three men answering
the de=cription of the three he had
seen on the train had alighted and
hired a man named Brooks to take
them for a drive
Kelsey got the direction and, by
asking along the road, traced the car
riage driven by Brooks across the
line' into the Canadian woods. The
three men had evidently persuaded
Brooks to drive them by a wood road,
and Kelsey traced them easily. They
overtook Brooks, but his carriage was
empty.
“I would not drive them any far
ther,” said Brooks. “I have got to
get back tr .the falls. They offered
me $20 to go on, but I couldn’t do it.”
“Where did they go?” Kelsey asked.
“They got a farmer to drive them to
Coaticook,” Brooks replied.
Thaw Admits Identity.
Kelsey and his two companioBs put
on speed, and on the edge of Uoati-
cook they saw the team ahead with
three men and the driver in it.
Kelsey stopped at a house and tele
phoned to the Coaticook police, then
went ahead in his automobile and fol
lowed the vehicle. A policeman stop
ped the carriage. “Which of you is
Harry K. Thaw?” he demanded.
The three men each made denials,
and said the police had made a mis
take. Then Kelsey came up, and
when the man who had previously ad
mitted he was Thaw saw Kelsey, he
refused to talk.
Later Kelsey, who went to the po
lice station with the officers and the
man he had identified-as Thaw, tele
phoned lo his family In Colebrook that
Thaw had again admitted his identity
to the Coaticook police.
Deputy Sheriff Kelsey then tele
phoned to New York and told them
he had a man thought to be Thaw
under arrest.

REACH PEACE
Report of War Move Against the
United States Is Denied by
Charge O’Shaughnessy.
Continued from Pag© 1.
It is thought that the Mexican news
papers v Instructed to print only
this story and that they will not car
ry the denial of this ultimatum issued
by Senor Gamboa early to-day.
In this way, it is believed, the
Huerta government will be enabled
to “save its face” before the Mexican
people without at the same time
bringing on war with the United
States.
Mexico City Shaken
By Arsenal Explosion.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 19.—A heavy
explosion shook the southwestern
section of Mexico City to-day, caus
ing great alarm. All the windows in
the suburb of Tubacay were broken.
It was at first believed to have been
an earthquake, but later it w f as said
to have been caused by an explosion
of the powder magazine and arsenal
at Santa Fe.
There w r as a heavy troop movement
to-day. Large bodies of infantry,
cavalry and artillery passed through
the streets. .
President Huerta experienced /a
sudden change of heart last nignr,
summoned Envoy Lind to him and
spent two hours in discussion of pos
sible measures that would lead to
peace in Mexico.
Cablegrams reaching the White
House to-day show' clearly th'it
Huerta yesterday afternoon turned
down Mr. Lind with great emphasis,
and that the latter reported the fail
ure of his mission to the State De
partment. Some hours later General
Huerta summoned Mr. Lind to the
National Palace and discussed with
him the very points he previously had
refused to consider. The result of
this discussion the White House has
not yet made public.
The change of front on Huerta's
part is puzzling President Wilson and
State Department officials, and they
are wondering what change of atti
tude will come next.
No final point in the negotiations
between Envoy Lind and President
Huerta has been reached, and official
information coming to Washington
to-day shows they are progressing
satisfactorily. That the official Amer
ican note to Huerta was rejected In
one instance and that this rejection
was withdrawn is established. The
full text of the Huerta reply to the
note is being cabled to the State De
partment, and probably will be laid
before President Wilson late to-day.
Lind and Huerta
Patch Up a Truce.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 19.—After the
Mexican Government had served a
note upon the United States reject
ing President Wilson’s Mexican pro
posals and demanding recognition—
an action which might have resulted
in war—John Lind, special envoy
from President Wilson, and President
Huerta got together in the National
Palace early to-day and patched up a
truce.

IN BOOK BY CHEF
Leon Pescheret, in Socialistic
Treatise. Calls Them Ill-Bred
Hogs and Immorality Producers.
CHICAGO. Aug. 19.—In a booklet
published under the title of “Gluttony
and Lucre,” Leon Pescheret, faqnous
over Europe as a chef, and now di
recting the commissary of a large
Chicago hotel, says the wealthy pa
trons of eating places In America are
“gilded, mixed breed, perverted
calves, who have more money than
sense, and who become criminals
through indulgence in their rattish
and doggish pastimes.’’
Three of Pescheret’s most pointed
paragraphs say:
“Many servants would experience a
great deal more satisfaction and be
rewarded by much more gratitude at
tending real swine than at feeding
the ill-bred hogs that are disorgan
izes and producers of Immorality and
the present-day social order of
things.”
“In no class have I found mo-*?
hypocrisy and false devotion, false
morals, deceitfulness—even among
themselves—than among snobbish,
wealthy people.”
"Clothes and jewelry do not make
the lady or gentleman. Any good ex
perienced and traveled waiter realizes
that people finely dressed and wi*h
plenty of money to spend show about
as much ignorance about a daily
menu as a mule dressed up in silks
would show.”
Augusta-Columbus
Railroad Proposed

with a strong second by the Colum

between Columbus and Augusta, pass
ing through Macon and the county
seat of every county which it would
touch.
The distance would be about 240
miles, and would not parallel any
other road. Those who have begun
the movement express confidence In
the project and believe that it can be
financed and that It will become a
reality.
JUDGE STAYS EXECUTION.
TIFTON.—Pending an appeal to
the State Supreme Court, Judge W.
E. Thomas has indefinitely postponed
the execution of I. B. Hall, convict
ed of the killing of Dennis W. Hall

Sleep. Used Resinol—Well
In « Week.
Pittsburgh, Po., May 3. 1913.—
had a ringworm on the side of my
face. It began like a cold blister
—a small red mark. Each day it
became larger until It was a
round ring about the size of a
quarter. It burned and itched me
terribly, and was very sore. It
was also swollen and caused me
a great deal of discomfort, as I
could not sleep at night. It was
very embarrassing and I didn’t
want any of my friends to see me.
I used several remedies such as

but they did no good. I used Resi
nol Soap and Resinol Ointment
for one week and cured it.”
