SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Aug. 28,
Sherbrooke Is swarming with Cana
dian secret service agents awaiting
orders from the Federal Government
at Ottawa to take physical possession
of Harry K. Thaw and rush him to
the border.
Counsel for the Dominion Immigra
tion Department and the State of
New York hoped that such orders
might come from the Canadian Capi
tal before to-morrow night.
Counsel for Thaw, flushed with vic
tory in having the habeas corpus pro
ceedings dismissed and the New York
legal representtive ruled out f
court, confidently predicted that such

Following Judge Globensky’s affir

lawyers, the latter declared that the
Matteawan fugitive would have to re

cause of the faulty nature of the com
mitment. The next step is being care
fully considered.
Ex-DlStrlct Attorney W. T. Jerome,
of New York, who came here in the
capacity of a special deputy from the
office of the New York State Attorney
General, was in Quebec to-day plead
ing with Sir Lomar Gouln, Governor
of the province, to quash all proceel-
lngs against Thaw so that the rep
resentatives of the Department of Im
migration can lay hands upon him.
Mr. Jerome characterized the court
proceedings before Judge Giohensky
as ‘'farcical," and hoped to bring the
Government's attention to them offi
cially, he said. It was Mr. Jerome's
llan to appeal to Premier Borden
{trough Sir liomar.
Prisoner Jubilant.
Should the Government quash the
froceedings here, the immigration
luthorities would have their way
Jt>ened to step In and seize Thaw.
The prisoner was Jubilant to-day.
"I don't fear any secret service
teents, for my lawyers have told me
I am safe,” Thaw wrote to the news-
japer correspondents. "There is a
lhance that I may elect to have my
trial before a jury tn October, by
which time I know I will have con
vinced all good Canadians I am oane."

“Miss Queen,” Recovering Rap
idly From Accident at Zoo, Now
Suffers Exaggerated Ego.
Miss Queen, the eldest daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Nero, of Grant Park,
who is recuperating at the home of
her parents after having her broken
leg X-rayed and reset by Dr. Good
win Gheesling at Grady Hospital last
week, is recovering rapidly from the
accident, but faces the ganger of a
calamity e v en greater than a broken
leg.
She Is rapidly developing a case of
exaggerated ego, commonly known
as the "swelled head.”
Miss Queen was a shy, timid young
thing two weeks ago. She had no in
timate friends, but spent most of her
time playing with her younger broth
er. She never quarreled with the
butcher when the bone he left for her
had a trifle too little meat on It.
Then she broke her leg and was
j taken to Grady Hospital. The fact
| that she was not only the first of Mr.
Nero’s Immediate family, but the first
of her race, to try to bite a leg off an
operating table In an Atlanta hos
pital; that she was the first of her
I race to be punched, prodded and
X-rayed by a real, honest-to-good-
ness surgeon; that she now wears a
plaster of parts cast while her brother
and papa and mamma wear nothing
but a roar and a ferocious expression
—all this has gone to her head.
She acts like a chorus girl!
Yearns for Publicity. t
Miss Queen yearns for publicity
now, since she came home from the
hospital, with a great and unsatisfied
yearning. She pines for attention,
and if anybody looks at her brother
or any of her relations in the big
house at Grant Park, she cries in
much the same manner as does a cho
rus girl when she learns there is a
prettier girl In the cast than she.
"Miss Queen is mighty conceited
since she came home from the hos
pital.” said Edward T. Boyd, who
takes care of Mr. and Mrs. Nero and
their children. "She used to run
away when anyone went into her
room. Now ft is all changed. She is
always showing her bandaged leg. and
gets mad if you don’t pay any atten
tion to it. I’ve seen her run up to
the bars of her cage, where a crowd
of people were standing, and stick her
leg, with its plaster cast, through the
bars as much as if to say: 'Look at
me; I’rti the only thing around here
that there’s anything unusual about.
I’m the real attraction here!’”
Miss Queen was as unique a patient
as ever invaded the operating room
nf Grady Hospital. When Mr. Boyd
brought her to the hospital in a cab
one day, the learned surgeons argued
for an hour trying to determine
whether she had broken her ulna and
radius, or had merely "busted some
thing.” They agreed that if she had
been a human being she would hav*
had a complete fracture of the ulna
and radius—since she was not a hu
man being, but a lioness, they declare
firmly that she "busted something,’’
and let it go at that.
X-Ray Picture Taken.
An X-ray picture was taken of the
broken leg, which showed that both
bones of the right foreleg were
broken a few inches below the kne^.
It was what the doctors call a "com
plete fracture." The pictures are prob
ably the only X-ray photographs of
a lioness ever taken in the South, and
are valued highly by the hospital sur
geons.
Miss Queen made three trips to
Grady with her guardian, «Mr. Boyd,
and each of them was a strenuous
affair, especially the first one, when
Dr. Goodwin Gheesling performed the
operation. The young lioness is lit
tle and had a broken leg, but her
other three feet were in good working
order and her teeth were very sharp.
It took Mr. Boyd almost half an hour
to get her to the operating table, and
when she got there it took three men
to hold her while Dr. Gheesling set
the leg.
Queen fought all during the opera
tion, developing an aversion to Dr.
Gheesling’s hands. Once when the
doctor was putting the finishing
touches to a bandage, and when Mr.
Boyd had both his hands fully occu
pied with holding the lioness, Queen
lunged forward and snapped vicious-
lv at the surgeon's hands. Mr. Boyd
4ckly threw his head against that of
T
the lioness, and Oueen gleefully hit a
piece out of his cheek.
Queen has been placed In a cage
by herself since she broke her leg
and is getting along nicely. The plas
ter of parls cast probabD- will be re
moved within a week or two, and she
will again be allotted to associate
with the other members of her fam
ily. It was while playing With h-r
brother that she fell and broke the
leg. __

Dr. George Brown, Who Spent
Several Years in Republic,
Believes in Huerta.
Dr. George Brown, the Atlanta spe
cialist, who lived in Mexico several
years as an employee of the Mexican
National Railroad, holds decided opin
ions on the Mexican situation in view'
of President Woodrow Wilson’s mes
sage.
His conclusion Is that if the United
States Government expects to bring
about peace In that country It will
have to land troops and police it. And
in that event, he says, the various
revolutionists immediately will band
together to fight a common enemy,
starting a new trouble.
Illustrative of present conditions.
Dr.. Brown exhibited an interesting
letter he has just received from a
friend, an Englishman, T. Skrewes
Saunders, an employee of the Te-
ziutlan Copper Company of Aire
Libre, Puebla, a town in the south
ern-central part of Mexico. It took
this letter three weeks to reach Dr.
Brown. Railway mail service has
been paralyzed by the guerrilla bands.
Thinks Huerta Can Succeed.
Here are some excerpts from the
letter:
"As you know, things have been
going pretty hard with poor Mexico
during the past three years. Every
one wishes to cut the melon for him
self, and not only have they spoiled
the melon, hut they have come pretty
near killing the vine.
"It is beginning to appear as If the
present administration will make a
"go" of it. But no one can tell how'
things will turn from one day to the
next, and those of us who have been
here the longest are the most retirin'
In forecasting the future.
"The general election for President
has been called for October 2ft. There
is the probability of the defeated can
didates taking to the hills and calling
themselves "loyalists." ‘'constitution
alists" or .some such high falutin
name, and keep the merry little game
of revolution going.
Wonders at Wilson’s Stand.
"One wonders at the attitude nf
President Wilson. The present ad
ministration is doing everything In It*
pow’er to safeguard foreign Interests
and restore order. Those against the
government are engaged in destroying
all property, foreign and native.
"They are committing such depre
dations and outrages as the Spaniards
did three centuries ago.
"When the rebels took the city of
Durango they committed such out
rages upjon the young women of that
city that more than 60 girls committed
suicide to escape the savages.
"It is such acts as these that Pres
ident Wilson is giving moral support
in refusing to recognize President
Huert a."
Dr. Brown’s Son Escapes.
Dr. Browm had a son, Charles
some months ago he thought his son
Brown. With the same company, and
had been killed. However, young
Mr. Browm escaped in safety and is
now in South Carolina.
Dr. Brown’s idea is that through
the general fightong of a lifetime
Huerta and his supporters have climb
ed to the top of the Government and
that they will not vacate until forced
to <1o so. regardless of the loss of life
and property.
Colonel John T. VanOrsdale, com
mander of the regiment at Fort Mc
Pherson. Said Thursday he had re
ceived no official communication from
Washington regarding the mobiliza
tion of troops on the Mexican bor
der.
He said all he knew was from the
news dispatches and that he did not
know' whether the Seventeenth Regi
ment would or .would not be ordered
out.
