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. "1 have got to
get back to the falls. They offered
me $20 to go on. but I couldn’t do it.
“Where did they go?” Kelsey asked.
“They got h farmer to drive them to
Coaticook,” Brooks replied.
Thaw Admits Identity.
, Kelsey and his two companions put
on speed, and on the edge of Coati
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 1o 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.
“Hold him,” said the New York au
thorities, and the Coaticook authori
ties at once entered a charge of be
ing a fugitive from justice against
Thaw and released the other two.
Preparations were made for taking
the man held to Sherbrooke this aft
ernoon. The object of the pfvrty in
leaving the train at Beecher Falls is
believed to have been a desire to
avoid the immigration and customs
officers who board the train at the
border and scrutinize each passen
ger.
Wife Still in Fear
Of Thaw, She Says.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Former As
semblyman Richard J. Butler, a
West Side politician and former
henchman of Chief of Police
“Big Bill” Devery, who was reported
to have been implicated in the plot
by which Thaw escaped, denied to
day that he had be^n mixed up in the
escape of the Pittsburger.
“I know nothing about this, and 1
certainly had no part in it.” declared
Butler. “It is certain, though, that if
any man was about to be mixed up
in an affair of this kind he would not
use his own name. I believe that some
gangster who was paid to help Thaw
out used my name. In fact, I believe
that I know the man.”
Butler admitted that he had been
away from home for several days, but
denied that he had been in Mat-
teawan.
One of the men for whom a war
rant wiTs issued in Dutchess County
yesterday used the name of Richard
J. Butler, of New York, while wait
ing at the Holland Hotel-in Beatori
for the Thaw getaway to come off.
Sheriff Hornbeck and District At
torney Conger, of Dutchess County,
armed with warrants for the arrest
of Thaw, Thomas Flood. Roger
Thompson. Michael O'Keefe, Eugene
Duffy and Butler, came to this city
to-day. v
Family to Fight Extradition.
Evelyn Thaw, the estranged wife of
the slayer, cowers in this city, afraid
of her life. She declared that she
would keep a bodyguard about her
until Thaw’s actual whereabouts be
came known.
It is evident that Thaw and his
family will make a determined fight
against extradition to this State if
an attempt is made to bring him
back. Thaw’s defense, in all prob
ability, will be that his escape was
providential.
Detectives in the employ of Acting
Governor Martin H. Glynn, who is
taking unusual interest in the ca9e,
reported the discovery of two of the
alleged conspirators and said that ar
rests were imminent. It was reported
Mr. Glynn would convene the Dutch
ess County Grand Jury in extraor
dinary session to probe the escape of
Thaw. Burns detectives "have been
brought into the case and arc helping
in the search for Thaw.
Accompanied by Miss Mary Cope-
ly. her sister and traveling compan
ion, Mrs. William Thaw left to-day
for Cresson, Pa.
Mrs. Thaw refused to discuss the
escape of her son further than to
say:
“I have positively not heard from
Harry since my letter yesterday, but
hope he is safe and well.”

Report of War Move Against the
United States Is Denied by
Charge O’Shaughnessy.
SHERBROOK, Que., Aug. 19.—Har
ry K. Thaw, wha es< viel from Matts-
wan assylum Sunday and was arrest
ed in Coaticook to-day, was trans
ferred to the Sherbrooke Jail this af
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 SJates 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.ealiz© the serious
ness of his predicament, and he be
gan to bombard various sections of
the United State with messages. He
notified his familv at Cresson, Pa., of
his arrest 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 arid 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 miles
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
er.
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, w’ho 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 w'ant 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 pound for?” Kel
sey asked.
“Canada,” the man answered.
Pursues Him in Auto.
Kelsey 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 L. W. Barbour
and Warner Drew and they decided
to chase the party.
They got an automobile and made
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 description of the three he had
It is thought that the Mexican news
papers \ver« 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 w'ith the United
States.

INBODK BV CHEF
Leon Pescheret, in Socialistic
Treatise. Calls Them Ill-Bred
Hogs and Immorality Producers.
CHICAGO. Aug. 19.—In n booklet
published under the title of “Gluttony
and Lucre,” Leon Pescheret, famous
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, w’ho have nure money than
sense, and w r ho 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<*e
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 w r i*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
COLUMBUS, Aug 19.—A move
ment which had its origin in Macon,
with a strong second by the Colum
bus Board of Trade, has come to light

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.

E. Thomas has indefinitely postponed
