SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Aiir. 23. i 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.

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-District 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 Lunar Goutn, Governor of the province, to quash all proceel- ings against Thaw so that the rep resentatives of the Department of Im migration can lay hands upon him. Mr. Jerome characterized the cour - proceedings before Judge Globenskv as "farcical," and hoped to bring the Government's attention to them offi cially, he said. It was Mr. Jerome's \lan to appeal to Premier Borden lirough Sir Lomar. Prisoner Jubilant. Should the Government quash the Iroceedings here, the immigration luthorities would have their way Riened to step In and seize Thaw The prisoner was jubilant to-day.

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 danger of a calamity even 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 Jie 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 j race to be punched, prodded and X-rayed by a real, honest-to-good- ness surgeon; that she now wears a plaster of paris 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. 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 lakes care of Mr. and Mrs. Nero an'i their children. “She used to run away when anyone went into her room. Now it Is all changed. She is 1 always showing her bandaged leg. anl 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’m 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 of 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 ha I been a human being she would hava 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 xvith 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 IP- tle and had a broken leg. butJ 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 ly at the surgeon's hands. Mr. Boyd quiclily threw Lis head agdinst that of the lioness, and Oueen gleefully bit a piece out of his cheek. Queen lias been placed in a cage by herself since she broke her leg and is getting along nicely. The plas ter of paris cast probab 1 ’- will be re moved within a week or two, and she Will again be allowed to 2.880Ciat3 with the other members of her fam ily. It was while playing with h^r brother that she fell and broke the leg.

Countess Ends Life When Love Fails Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. ROME, Aug 28.—A commotion has been caused in society circles by the suicide of the beautiful young Coun- ! tess Margherita Cicconl at a hotel in ; Alban Hills, where she was living with her suitor, Signor Pontocorvo. The Countess, who was widely j known for her culture and also as I a sportswoman, was the daughter of Oounfess Schwartz, of Vienna. When but sixteen she married a mid dle-aged Milanese professor of music. Her last letters accused Pontocorvo 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 hand 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 T?- 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 thrfee yefcri. Evers one wishes to cut the melon for him self. and not only have they spoiled the melon, but 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 reticent in forecasting the future. “The general election for President has been called for October 26. There is the probability of the defeated can didates taking to the hills and calling themselves “loyalists,” “constitution alists” or some such htgh-falutin name, and keep the merry little gam« of revolution going. Wonders at Wilson’s Stand. “One wonders at the attitude of President Wilson. The present ad ministration is doing everything in Its power 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 upon the young women of that city that more than 50 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 Huerta.” Dr. Brown’s Son Escapes. Dr. Brown had a son. Charles some months ago he thought his son Brown, with the same company, and had been killed. However, young Mr. Brown 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 do so. regardless of the loss of lif* 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 pews dispatches and that he did no* know whether the Seventeenth Regi ment would or would not be ordered out. BIRMINGHAM PASTOR CALLED. HUNTSVILLE.
