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 Convicts Released For Work on Roads JEFFERSON CITY. MO.. Aug 28. Governor Major lias released from the State Penitentiary 22 convicts who worked on the roads last week. The commutations were in accordance with the Governor’s promise to take fifteen days off the sentence of every man who worked on the roads for each day he worked.

S. 1ST ACT orders never would be Issued. Following Judge Globensky’s affir mation of the contention of Thaw's lawyers, the latter declared that the Matteawan fugitive would have to re main In jail here now Indefinitely be 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."

These are absolutely necessary in order to maintain health. Try it to-day, but be sure it’s HOSTETTER’S Stomach Bitter s “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. __ Saioonist Shoots Brewery Employee AUGUSTA, Aug. 28.—Frank Gan non, employed as shipping clerk for the Augusta Brewing Company, was shot and possibly fatally wounded by Fred Elliott, a near-beer saloonkeep er, here last night. Elliott surrendered to the police and was put under a bond of $1,000 pend ing the outcome of the injuries ta Cannon. 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.
