Continued from Page 1. 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.” Don t fool yourself by using some preparation which claims to straighten your hair.

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.

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.
