MATTEAWAN, N. Y., An?. 23.—Thp following verses
were written by Harry Kendall Thaw in his room at Mattea-
wn and found in the waste-paper basket beside his reading
table last December:
"There are lights aflame on Broadway,
There are hopes and lives undone;
There are debts of sin no man can pay,
And Broadway hates the sun.
'' There are vain regrets on Broadway,
There are secret sighs and tears;
For one must smile as well as pray,
And the weakling meets with jeers."

Orders Sent to Immigration Agents
at Sherbrooke, He Declares—Mil
lionaire To Be Landed in Vermont
Without Ceremony as Undesirable.
OTTAWA. ONT, Aug. 23.—Harry
K Thaw will be deported from Can
aria next Wednesday afternoon or
Thursday, according to information
secured from an official of the Do
minion Immigration Department to
night. He will be taken across the
border into the State of Vermont.
“Instructions to such effect already
have been sent to the immigration
agents at Sherbrooke,” c aid the offi
cial. “They are •David Reynolds and ,
T. B. Whillan. Thaw is not to be
discriminated against. He is to be
treated Just as hundreds of undesira
bles in the past nave been handled by
the immigration authorities.
“There will be no ceremony at
tached to his deportation. He will be
taken back over the border and into
Vermont by the railroad that brought
him into Canada.
“The law provides that the railroad
shall dej>ort him. It has done so in
other cases, and the authorities here
see no reason to make an exception In
the case of Thaw. lie can pay the
railroad if he wants to, but he does
not have to.
“The New York authorities have
ceased asking Canada for Thaw. They
apparently understand that he will be
sent into Vermont, and the question
will then be up to New York and
Vermont.”
Thaw Puzzled Over
His Course of Action.
SHERBROOKK. QUEBEC, Aug. 23.
Striding up and down in the hospital
ward of the Sherbrooke jail to-night
Harry Thaw tried to decide which of
two proposals made to him by Ca
nadian officials he should accept.
They were:
Firtt. To drop the legal fight
here and submit to deportation to
Vermont without any court hear
ing.
Second. To plead not guilty
of the charge on which he waa
arrested and to be hold for hear
ing, which could not take place
before the October term of court.
Occasionally the prisoner would
stop his exercises long enough to
•cribble a note, to one of his squad
of lawyers and have it dispatched
with all haste.
The lawyers had left the decision
completely to Thaw. He had taken
full charge of the case and had issued
so many conflicting orders that they
declared he would have to reach a
decision for himself.
Hard to Decide Course.
Thaw said to a newspaper man
whom he received at the jail that he
found it hard to decide which course
of action he would follow. He had
been disturbed over a dispatch from
Burlington, Vt., quoting Attorney
General R. E. Brown, of Vermont, as
saying that he had no doubt the Mal-
teawan fugitive oquld be extradited
from his State to New York. Then n
second later the prisoner smilingly
exclaimed:
“Matteawan will never see me
again. Perhaps it will be better for
Matteawan. For the first timt? In my
life I have a group of lawyer* in
whom I have absolute confidence.”
He intimated that he would not
make any decision as to Ills future
course before Sunday afternoon. Sab
bath services will be held In the
prisoner's room to-morrow. Thaw
had wanted to go to church, but the
authorities feared that an attempt
might be made to kidnap him if he
left the Jail. They are taking no
chances.
May Go to Vermont.
It Is believed that Thaw will ac
cept the proposal that he be de
ported to Vermont and there left to
fight with the officials of that Slat-
ar.d of New York f.or his liberty. He
has intimated to a friend of the'
Thaw family now in ShtTbrooke that
he favored that proposal more than
the other, but he' wants to be sure of
his ground before he actually accepts
either
If he decided to go to Vermont, the
action taken by the Canadian author
ities will amount to his “ejection”
from the Dominion. The habeas cor
pus proceedings before Justiee Ar
thur Globensky will be dropped an 1
the department will Immediately or
der his deportation to Newport, Vt.
There is no doubt that Canada
would like to get rid of the prisoner.
According to the very highest legal
authorities, Thaw might wage his
fight In the Dominion for several
years before his last resource was
exhausted, and the Canadian officials
want to prevent this if possible.
Aide Will Not “Squeal.”
One element of danger to Thaw
was removed to-day when Roger
Thompson, who aided in his escape
and is now a prisoner in the same
Jail, withdrew his previous threats
and said that he would not reveal
anything of the plans leading up to
the escape from Matteawan. If all
the details of the flight were known,
it might complicate matters for
Thaw and give the New York author
ities basis for demanding his extra
dition on the ground of bribery.
Thompson said that everything had
“b^en fixed up.” This indicated that
he had been seen by a representative
of the Thaw family and promised help
in escaping from his predicament.
With almost the gleefulness of a
schoolboy, Thaw received the news
that William Travers Jerome, who
had been termed the prisoner's
“Nemesis,” had been appointed a spe
cial Deputy Attorney General of New
York State to secure the mad million
aire's return from any Commonwealth
that Canada might send him.
Glad “Willie’s” on Job.
“It is almost worth being deported
to have Willie on the job once more,”
laughed Thaw, “but I notice Jerome
isn't coming to Canada. He is wise
in that deci&ior and Governor Glynn
will be a good deal wiser before this
thing is over and when he begins to
realize the strength of public opin
ion.”
The prisoner received a postal
card from Chicago this afternoon that
is be^eved to have come from two of
the men who helped him escape from
Matteawan and accompanied him on
the mad dash across the New York
State line. The card read:
“Friend Harry—Arrived safe. Will
write later. Boat regards. Hope
everything turns out O. K.—Bob,
Fred.”
Thaw conferred to-day with Louts
St. Laurent, the Quebec lawyer en
gaged to look after the Interests of
Thompson. When this ended, Thaw
said Thompson was perfectly satis
fied with the treatment he was get
ting.
“Thaw So Manly,’’ Cries
Admiring Manicurist.
SHERBROOKE. QUEBEC, Aug. 23.
Thaw is having his every want at
tended to. To-day after he had been
barbered he requested that a mani
curist be secured. The only young
woman manicurist of whom Sher
brooke boasts went to Thaw’s quar
ter*, accompanied by a friend who is
employed as a milliner In a local shop.
The young women found Thaw so in
teresting that they remained with him
for an hour and a quarter.
“Mr. Thaw is a dandy fellow,’’ said
the girls when they came out. “He's
a fine looking gentleman, so strong
and manly.”
Ex Governor Stone
Heads Thaw Defense.
PITTSRCRG, Aug. 23.—Mrs. Mary
Copley Thaw, mother of Harry
Thaw, has engaged ex-Governor W.
A. Stone, of Pennsylvania, to assume
charge of the legal battle now being
waged in Canada in which her son is
fighting' to keep out of Matteawan.
Mr. Stone is already on his way to
Sherbrooke. In compliance with an
urgent message sent to him at hunt
ing ramp in Tioga County. It is re
ported that three other Pennsylvania
attorneys will be sent to help Thaw.

Sacrifice.
NEW YORK, Aug. 23.—Mrs. Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw is breaking down
under the fear that Harry K. Thaw
may evade the law and succeed in
reaching her. There were visible evi
dences of the strain under which she
has been luboring since he escaped
from Matteawan last Sunday when
a Sunday American reporter saw her
last night in the Hotel Brevoort.
Thaw’s declaration from the jail in
Sherbrooke that her return to the
stage had prompted him to make a
dash for liberty and that he loved
her more than anything else in life
were called to her attention.
“Good God!” she exclaimed “How
could that man say he loves me when
he would have let me starve in the
streets ?”
“Do you love him?” she was asked.
“Love him! 1 love him as much as
he loves me,” was her derisive reply.
“He wanted to keep me down after
I had testified and sold my soul for
him and I had done everything that
a human being could do for a man;
and now he makes this maudlin state
ment about love.
Never Knew Love's Meaning.
“He is a paranoiac, and he doesn’t
know what love is. He has never
known the meaning of it as long as
I have known him. As for taking
care of me as any man who loved
woman would do, both he .and his
mother them me out, after 1 hail
saved him from the electric chair.
“Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw entered
Into an agreement with me at the
time of the trial to provide me with
$12,000 a year on condition that 1
would consent to an annulment of
our marriage. I did consent, and the
papers were drawn. Then his mother
repudiated it. That was In June. 1912,
and I have received no money from
them since that time.
“Before * that date I had received
$70 a week and my rent. I had io
dispose of pictures and scrape and
save to live, and 1 Hn.iily came to the
conclusion that I had something with
in myself, that 1 could prove I pos
sessed the gift of making mv own liv
ing. which Is a gift after all.
Breaks Into Tears.
“I thank God that I have that gilt
or his mother would be jeering at me
in the gutter,” and Mrs. Thaw broke
into tears.
“He wants to spoil my life and niy
work,” she continued, turning to
John Reilly, her counsel, who was in
the room. “1 told you that if I made
a success he would want to injure
me, and here he has stated that my
success was the thing that impelled
him to break for his liberty. H
wants to injure me and he will bend
everything to that end.
*T told you also,” she added to her
lawyer, “that he would not bo free
long before he would betray himself
through his excessive egotism.
“But there is worse coming if he
retains his liberty. Things will begin
to happen when he gets his drink.
He is going to do something desperate,
I know, just as surely as I could fore
see the things I have referred to.
Wait until He gets drink in him—it is
ho r rible t contemplate!” And Mrs.
Thaw again broke down and sobbed.
“Desperate and Dangerous.”
“Don’t you think that you may be
exaggerating because of your over
wrought state of mind?” was asked.
“I wish it were so.” she replied.
“But anyone who thinks Harry Thaw
will not be a desperate man when he
gets the opportunity to satisfy his
appetite for drink, knows nothing of
him. I know him. Dr. Flint knows
him. Judge Jerome knows him. He
will be a desperate and dangerous
man.
“This great State ought to be
ashamed of itself to allow a para
noiac to make and unmake Its insti
tutions*. Thaw was permitted liber
ties that no man in his posit! n had
ever before enjoyed. Thaw has nut

BURLINGTON, VT., Aug. 23.—
“Vermont is no place for Thaw,”
was the statement made to-day by
Attorney General R. E. Brown, in
answer to a question as to what
course would be adopted in case
Thaw was deported to the Green
Mountain State. Brown said that
there was no doubt in his mind
that Thaw Could be extra
dited.
“It would simply be up to Gov
ernor Fletcher to honor a demand
from the Governor of New York,”
said the Attorney General.

“Do you know that when I used to
see him in the Tombs he uked to be
drunk on Scotch whisky? Let the
Tombs officials deny it if they dare.
I know it and they know it. Harry
Thaw told me he could get all the
liquor he wanted there.”
Mr. Reilly warned his client that
she was overtaxing her strength, but
she persisted in unloading her mind.

LONDON, Aug. 23.—Antagonism

Sir Herbert said:
“The Americans are wonderful In
whatever they attempt to do. I have
the greatest faith in their powers,
and, without wishing to enter on a
comparison between American and
English methods, I must say I think
Maxine Elliott will be a peerless Zeu-
