IT
FOR RELEASING
Sympathy for Fugitive Great, and
He is Elated as Court Delay
Aids His Fight.
Continued From Page 1.
They conspirefl against me to keep
me in an asylum which was worse
than being in prison. I know that
the people of Canada have only kind
ly feelings for me; in fact, I am
tempted to become a resident of this
country if I can establish my civic
rights here.”
The fugitive was angered by the
presence of armed guards about the
jail.
“Do you think I am going to batter
my way through those thick walls?'
demanded the prisoner, of Governor
H. La Force, of the St. Francis jail.
“They are also mistaken if they think
I am going to harm myself. Do peo
ple think I would be fighting so hard
for my just freedom if I were think
ing of suicide?”
Alienists Say He Is Sane.
Dr. W. A. Starring, Dr. G. L. Hume
and Dr. J. O. Ledoux, who examined
Thaw at the request of Dr. Britton
Evans, a New York City alienist, have
made an affidavit to the effect that
Thaw is rational and sane.
These are the various lines along
which Thaw now is fighting: ,
Delaying arguments on his ha
beas corpus fight that he will
have to be kept in jail and can
not fall into the hands of the Im
migration Department.
Having his sanity established
by Canadian specialists in order
to prove to the Government he is
not an undesirable.
Appealing to the American
State Department and the Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania to assist
him as a resident of the United
States and property holder in
Pennsylvania.
Preparing to ask for an in
junction to prevent extradition or
deportation if turned over to the
officials of the Immigration De
partment by the court.
Still Clever, He Tells Mother.
Securing the court’s permission
to get his temporary freedom on
bail, os that he might leave the
country and forfeit it.
Resist the service of the Dutch
ess County, N. Y., warrant charg
ing him with conspiracy in his
escape from Matteawan.
Thaw to-day wrote a long letter to
his mother, in which* he said he hoped
soon to meet her in Cresson, Pa.
“My cleverness is not exhausted
yet,” he told her.
When the prisoner looked through
the barred window of his cell and
saw a crowd of several hundred peo
ple in the streets about the jail, he
showed his elation. The people of
this part of Quebec are still mak
ing a gala occasion of Thaw’s en
forced stay here. There are so many
visiting lawyers, newspaper men and
tourists that hotel accommodations
are becoming scarce.
Gives Sheriff the Laugh.
Sheriff Hornbeck, of Dutchess
County, New York, who came here
with District Attorney Conger, of
the same county, to take Thaw on a
conspiracy warrant and land him back
in Matteawan, planned to leave for
home this afternoon.
“I can not do any good here with
my hands tied,” said Hornbeck. “It
is a certainty that Thaw will be de
ported.”
When Hornbeck went in to say
good-bye to Thaw, the fugitive’s face
was wreathed in smiles.
“This is the time I beat you, Sher-
t Iff,** 'cried Thaw, delightedly.
Sherbrooke Would
Give Thaw Chance to Flee.
SHERBROOKE. QUEBEC, Aug. 22.
The Sherbrooke Record publishes the
following:
*Tf the illegality of the arrest of
Thaw at St. Hermenegilde de Bar-
ford is established, there are some
g*>od Britishers who believe the fair
thing to do is to take Thaw back to
the little hotel at St. Hermenegilde
and there set him free,
“Reset the stage exactly as it was
when he was illegally apprehended.
Let the sleuths upon the track be set
back a certain distance and a fair
start given the fugitive.
“If Thaw is to be finally disposed
of according to law he should not be
handicapped in his defense by illegal
acta against him in the name of the
law, is the contention.
“He is on Canadian soil, and what
ever may be the public opinion with
regard to the merits of his contention
that he deserves liberty, it will be
unanimous that he should have Brit
ish fair play.”
School Head Back;
Urges Enrolling Now
Superintendent of Schools William
M. Slaton has returned from Boston,
New York and other Eastern cities,
where he has been on his vacation.
During his trip he studied school
methods of various cities and ob
tained many new ideas, which he ex
pects to apply to Atlanta schools.
With Mr. Slaton’s return he is
sued a statement requesting parents-
to bring their tickets and vaccina
tion certificates to his office in the
Boys' High School as soon as possi
ble.
Sheriff Who Took
Thaw Regrets He
Had to Hold Him
COLEBROOK, N. H.. Aug. 22 -
Deputy Sheriff J. H. Kelsea, who
is responsible for the i-apture of
Harry K. Thaw, is a nervous wreck
at his home here—remorseful for
the part he played. He said:
“I wish to heaven I had never
seen Thaw. I have regretted ever
since that I met him and had to ap
prehend him.
“I was between two fires. My
sympathies were all with Thaw,
but it was impressed upon me by
officers of the county that it was
my sworn duty as a New Hamp
shire Sheriff to arrest him. Three
times the reward that was offered
would not have induced me to give
him up but for the fact that I was
an officer of the law, I will never
cease to regret it.”
i'KEENOTTO GET
E
Name of Bolling H. Jones as Suc
cessor to Go to Senate
Within Few Days.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.—Despite
the efforts of Postmaster Hugh L.
McKee of Atlanta to postpone his
removal by the Postoffice Depart
ment, and his assertions that he will
fight the request for his immediate
resignation, no extension of time will
be allowed him. He will be sum
marily removed, it was said here to
day, withfn a few days, and the name
of Bolling H. Jones will be sent in as
bis successor within the next two or
three days.
The department has read Mr. Mc
Kee’s statement, in which he denies
any knowledge of the efforts of his
friends to have the charges with
drawn. He states emphatically that
he does not want them withdrawn,
and that he will not resign his office
until he knows the nature of the
charges. Mr. McKee and his friends
say that had his resignation been re
quested on the grounds that the ad
ministration wished to apoint a
Democrat, he would have complied at
once, but in view of the charges, he
thinks it best to remain at his post
until they are proved or disproved.
So far the department has received
no answer to its letter to Mr. McKee,
dated August 14, asking for his im
mediate resignation. Having allowed
him plenty of time to submit it, the
department proposes to go ahead with
the appointment of his successor
without delay.
Pickett Residence Is
Destroyed by Fire
Fire destroyed the two-story frame
house belonging to Smith D. Pickett,
on the Howell Mill road near the cor
ner of Collier avenue, in close prox
imity of the residence of Colonel
Thomas B. Felder, Wednesday.
A defective flue in the kitchen is
blamed. Mr. Pickett was the only
one in the house when the fire started.
He awoke to find the house com
pletely enveloped in flames and his
room filled with smoke. Mr. Pickett
had difficulty in escaping and was
unable to save any personal posses
sions.
Mrs. Pickett is visiting in North
Carolina. The house and its con
tents were partially covered by insur
ance.
FINANCIER PIUS
FLAWS IN TIE
New York Banker Says Advan
tages Claimed for New System
Are Distinctly Negative.
CHICAGO, Aug. 22.—Criticism of
the Wilson Administration’s currency
bill, as expressed his afternoon by A.
Barton Hepburn, chairman of the
board of the Chase National Bank of
New York, in an address as chairman
of the conference from the Currency
Committee of the American Bankers’
Association, in session here, may be
summarized as follows:
Bank Control—“The men whose
tariffing and experience would seem
to qualify them for the administra
tion of respective boards of the Fed
eral reserve banks are discriminated
against and kept in the minority.
Banks are obliged to furnish the
capital; they are deprived of even
approximate control.”
Credit Control—“Although under
the Federal control, hanks can loan
to none but the member banks, and
may not be in funds to loan to them,
yet they are required to fix and pub
lish the rate of discount.”
Savings B~nks—“If compelled to
apportion capital and reserve to
their savings bank business, may it
not induce national banks to give up
that class of business? Is that the
purpose?”
Bank Investments—“For the Gov
ernment to specifically direct banks
to make certain investments Is an
invasion of the field of credit, and
something no other nation has ever
done.”
Redemption of Note Issues—“This
provision making the Government
responsible for the notes which the
banks are to issue violates the prin
ciples of economics and contravenes
the experience of the great commer
cial nations."
Reserves—“The requirement that
certain amounts must be kept with
the new regional reserve banks
purely as a reserve will curtail the
loaning power of the absorbing
hanks.”
Regional Reserve Banks—“Will
there not naturally and inevitably
be competition between the regional
reserve banks, competition between
the twelve sections of the country,
and may we not in the end have
competition for cash holdings be
tween individual banks added to the
competition of section against sec
tion, reserve bank against reesrve
bank?”
Land Credit Banks Needed.
Mortgage Loans—“One great need
of the. country is mortgage or land
credit banks, but should they not be
separately organized and separately
managed institutions?”
Advantages of Proposed System—
“They are disieult to find and seem
to be of a distinctly negative char
acter. So far as the regional re
serve hanks are competitors with
the banks for Dusiness. is it not go
ing too far to compel the hanks to
contribute one-fifth of their capital
in order to create competition?”
The earnestness with which the
Administration has taken up the cur
rency bill was worthy of praise, Hep
burn said, and he noted the fact that
the subject and the many obstacles
encountered in its consideration had
rendered the task of accomplishing
legislation very great.
“Our attitude.” he said, “is and
should be one of helpfulness, not hin
drance.”
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.—Scattered
showers in Texas and Oklahoma and a
very favorable weather map, coupled
with much lower cables than had been
expected, sesulted in the cotton market
opening to-day with first prices at a
net decline of 5 to 10 points from last
night’s close. After the call the entire
list broke 3 to 10 points under the open
ing. through heavy liquidation and prof
it-taking sales, based on locad weather
experts predicting further general rains
for the entire belt and this was said to
be the reason for the weakness in the
English market.
During the forenoon offerings became
rather scarce and an active buying
movement led by spot people and a few
scattered shorts, caused the market to
develop a better tone and prices soared t
in the initial level. Reasons for the
sudden turn In the. course of the mar
ket, was partially explained by the fact
that we have had a rise of about $2 a
bale since the beginning of the week.
Ring: traders have been caught short
and have hen forced to take heavy
losses when covering their trade and
they are not inclined to take the chance
of being caught holding the hag if an
other jump in values should follow so
closely.

the question of prohibiting Interlock
ing directorates in banks under the

The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: “From a trade viewpoint the
feature of yesterday’s market was the
probable effect of the long continued dry
weather on the length of the staple in
the west. From a speculative view
point, the feature was a return of show
ery conditions over the eastern half of
the belt. According to the weather-re
porting machinery of the general Gov
ernment, unfavorable conditions con
tinue In Oklahoma and Texas and a
general soaking rain seems as far off as
ever.
“On August 25, the Government’s re
port is expected to show satisfactory
conditions in practically all sections ex
cept Texas and Oklahoma and In the
boll weevil-affected portion of the belt
Oklahoma will probably make the re
port showing of all the States for the
period from July 25 to August 25, with
Texas next. In the opinion of some
leading delta planters, the boll weevil
has done enormous damage during the
past thirty days, and they expect the
Government condition report to reflect
sharp deterioration. The crop in Texas
is very spotted. Some sections there
seem to he making satisfactory prog
ress, while other sections seem to he
deteriorating rapidly. The Government's
condition percentage for Texas will
supply the best available information as
to the effect of the August weather on
the crop of that State.
“Trade opinion Is, at best, an unsafe
guide because of lack of individual fa
cilities for reaching all sections. This
1h evidenced by the fact that there is
no wide diversity of opinion among
prominent cotton merchants in,Texas as
to the status of the crop ”
Worsted Mills Now
Compete for Wool
BOSTON, Aug. 22.—Wool sales of the
past week aggregated 3,000.000 to 4,000,-
000 pounds. Leading houses report a
more cheerful tone, with an immense
amount of sampling in all lines by man
ufacturers. Worsted mills are coming
into the market and competing with the
woolen manufacturers, who hitherto
have had full swing Fleece wools are
a trifle more active and a bit firmer
here, with nothing doing in Ohio. Ap
parently the wool market has settled
down to a steady pull for the rest of the
summer and early fall.
