THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Orders For Immediate Deporta
tion of Fugitive Expected by
Government Agents To-day.
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 o'
New York hoped that such orders
might come from the Canadian Capi
tal before to-morrow night.
Counsel for Thaw, hushed 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
orders never would be issued.
Jerome Is Aroused.
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 Lomar Gouln, Governor
of the province, to quash all procee i-
ings 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 Globensky
as “farcical.” and hoped to bring the
Government’s attention to them offi
cially, he said. It was Mr. Jerome’s
plan to appeal to Premier Borden
through Sir Lomar.
Prisoner Jubilant.
Should the Government quash ihe
proceedings here, the immigration
authorities would have their wav
opened to step in and seize Thaw.
The prisoner was jubilant to-day.
“I don’t fear any secret service
agents, foi my lawyers have told me
3 am safe,” Thaw wrote to the news
paper correspondents. “There is a
chance that I may elect to have my
trial before a jury in October, by
which time I know I will have con
vinced all good Canadians I am sane.*
Buzzards Doomed as
Hookworm Carriers
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 28.—Despite
th protest of Frank M. Miller, former
head of the old Conservation Com
mission, against the action of the
new commission in issuing a state
wide permit for the destruction of

no immediate prospects of the slaugh
ter stopping, and the Conservation
Commission, backed by an opinion
of the Attorney General and the sup
port of sanitarians, is standing ex
tremely pat in the matter. »

Hookworm Commission, is a strong
advocate of the destruction of the

BUFFALO, Aug. 28.—Air and ex- I
erctse for children should not alone 1
be considered by teachers, said Dr.
Joseph Dee. of the Boston School
Committee and president of the Play-
Ground and Recreation Association of
America, in addressing the Fourth
International Congress on School Hy
giene here to-day. Dr. Lee asserted
that the use of a child’s muscles is
important, but added that the mind
life is even more important. ’’Better |
a stuffy schoolhouse • with zealous!
work than fresh air and mental flab
biness,” said Dr. Lee. “We make too
much of a fetish of air and exercise.”
Continuing, he said:
’’Smaller classes are essential to
the preservation of the teacher and
to her really reading the child. When
we learn to take our childen’s health
and education seriously, w r e shall
halve the size of. classes in our ele
mentary schools. It will Increase, the
cost 80 per cent, but the children’s
lives and health are w'orth it.
“To further free the teacher’s time
for the normal pupil, we must have
special schools or classes not only
for the blind, the deaf, the tubercu
lous, but for all requiring peculiar
treatment, including the bright pupils
to whom the regular grades are as
intellectual hobble skirt, spoiling
their natural gait.
“I believe that pupils in the lowest I
grade, probably In the last three
grades, should have the afternoon 1
outdoors or in the kindergarten room. ’
not wholly because of the benefits of |
the play and fresh air, but chiefly
to avoid the demoralization of half
hearted w’ork. Half-heartedness is a
serious mental disease, worse than
half-lungedness.”
