Prisoner Closely Watched Fol
lowing Report He Is Planning
to Give Bail and Flee.
SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Aug. 29.
Harry K. Thaw has won another vic
tory in his fight against going back
to the Matteawan, N. Y., Asylum for
the ( riminal Insane, although the re
sult in this case may prove only tem
porary
Ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Jerome, who
is here in the capacity o*f a deputy at
torney general of the State of New
York, returned to-day from Quebec
after having failed to see Sir Lomar
Gouin, Governor for this province.
Jerome had planned to petition Sir
Lomar to quash all proceedings the
jeourts here have instituted so that
the representatives of the Canadian
Department of Immigration might act
at once.
Sir Lomar is in Albany, N. Y., with
a party of distinguished Canadians,
■who went over the border to welcome
, Lord Haldane, the Lord High Chan
cellor of England, who is on his way
to Montreal.
Jerome left his petition with Sir
Lomar’s representative, but the latter
said he could do nothing in a case so
Important as the Thaw matter in the
absence of his chief.
“I fear further delay,” said Jerome.
“We are anxious to rush this case
through. W r e are certain that Thaw
will be deported in the end, but we
do not want the proceedings to cost
any more than necessary.”
The Canadian secret service agents
to-day were keeping close watch on
Thaw as the result of reports that the
fugitive was planning to give bail and
flee into Michigan.
Thaw spent a restful night and was
up early. After breakfast he rolled
up his sleeves and plunged into his
daily task of writing interviews.
Thaw to Shift Fight
To Pittsburg Soon.
PITTSBURG, PA., Aug. 29 —Harry
Thaw’s fight for freedom will be
shifted to Pittsburg soon. Plans for
a battle in the courts are being laid.
Thaw will petition for $10,000 from
the fund held in trust for him by the
Fidelity Title and Trust Company,
which amounts to $30,000.
♦ If the courts recognize Thaw’s plea
for funds with which to fight his
battle against the State of New York
and his sanity is thereby established
"by such act of the court, the Canadian
authorities will be placed in a pe
culiar position inasmuch as Thaw will
'.‘"be held insane by New York and
Bane by his resident State of Penn
sylvania.
Humorists Appalled
By Mexican Names
PEORIA, ILL., Aug. 29.—Resolu

An investigating committee also
will be named to probe into the rise

Roosevelt Blames
Tango on Indians
CHICAGO, Aug. 29.—The poor In
dians have got something else to
shoulder now. Colonel Roosevelt
says the Hopis invented and danced
the tango, turkey trot, bear cat, griz
zly and and a horde of similar dances
centuries before Newport or Narra-
gansett Pier got the craze.
He also told members of the Chi
cago Progressive Club, on his way
back from a two weeks' vacation
bear and nurse children, and in the
God made woman fools to match men
and woman’s duty as a voter would
not interfere with her domestic
duties.
Virginia Reel, Spanish Whirl and
Tango Combined in Delight
ful New Step.
The fox—the common red-fox—has
reached the acme of fame and re
nown; he has been immortalized by
having a dance named for him, and
pits happily and serenely alongside
the turkey, the rabbit and the bear.
The latest is the Fox Fandango.
It is the outcome of a tour of ex
ploration by some of the younger so
ciety set, who, in their everlasting
search for something new, wound up
one day at Grant Park.
Struck with the beauty and grace
of the red fox as he dragged his
frightened little body into his hole,
one of the visitors suggested that, in
asmuch as the movements of the tur
key. the rabbit and all the other ani
mals had been utilized by the danc
ing master, it would be a novelty to
introduce something based on the
graceful movements of the fox.
So last Friday night at a Tech
dance at the Crystal Palace, the Fox
Fandango was originated. It is a
graceful dance, without having the
taint of sugge.stlveness that has
marred the trots, the hugs and th^
tangos, and It promises to become all
the rage in Atlanta social circles.
The dance is a combination of the
Virginia reel, the Spanish fandango
and the tango. Xhls is about how
you do it:
First you bow gracefully—if you
can—as in the Virginia reel; then you
take the walking steps of the tango
and waltz them slowly, very slowly;
then you tear the fast-going right
out of the heart of the Spanish
dances aid waltz rapidly, although it
is not necessary that you place the
tip of the fingers on the head, or
hang on to your belt with the other
hand. You are allowed the liberty of
interpolating any elaborations you
may desire.
Miss Caroline Briggs, a Tech favor
ite, and Perry Burrus, a sophisticated
sophomore, were among the crowd
who originated the new dance, an<i
their interpretation of the Fox Fan
dango was one of the best shown at
the Crystal Palace.
SUITE TO BETTER
DATA ON COTTON
Georgia Department of Agricul

U. S, Census Bureau.
ELIHU ROOT HAS COAT OF TAN.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. — The
finest coat of tan in the Senate to
day adorned the features of Elihu
Root, of New York, to whom his col
leagues gave an impromptu welcome
on his return from a European trip.
An effort will be made by the State
Department of Agriculture to improve
upon the methods of collecting data
regarding the movement and produc
tion of cotton in Georgia, and in this
connection Assistant Commissioner «.f
Agriculture Dan Hughes is forking
hard to arrive at some accurate sys
tem of handling the proposition.
"It is our intention to furnish a
weekly report to the farmers through
the prese regarding the production
and movement of cotton.” said Mr.
Hughes. “We will attempt to obtain
the co-operation of the railroads and
the co-operation of the dealers and
handlers of cotton in the Dig inland
markets. By comparison with the
previous year’s showing this would
give us a good idea of exact condi
tions.
‘‘We are In communication with Di
rector of the Census W. J. Harris and
expect to obtain much Information
and assistance from him. We will
receive regular reports from him as
to the cotton ginned in Georgia,
which we will transmit to the public
in weekly reports to be published in
the newspapers.”

Cities Menace Race,
Declares Dr, Eliot
Two Girls He Accosted and Police
Crush His Single-Handed
War on Americans.
Because he became Imbued with
the idea that one Mexican is theequa'
of a great many American policemen.
C. E. Ellison, No. 153 Walton street,
who says he is a Mexican employed
by the Atlanta Gas Company, occu
pied a cell at police headquarters Fri
day, nursing several large and painful
bumps on the head, inflicted by Offi
cer Thompson and Officer Lynan dur
ing the process of relieving his mind
of his hallucination.
Elli.uon had a day off Thursday, and
in the absence of anything else to do
he drank copiously of mescal and de.
voured the newspaper stories of the
Mexican trouble. The more he drank
and the more he read the more indig
nant he became that President Wil
son should tell President Huerta
where to “head in.” Indignation filled
his soul. He thirsted for the gore of
an American, and forthwith started
out to find a fresh, untainted Ameri
can on whom he might wreak ven
geance.
Girls Kick His Shins.
By some strange freak of chance
Ellison wound up in the Syrian quar
ter on Marietta street, in Brooklyn,
and informed two passing Syrian
girls that Mexican courage and Mexi
can mescal make a winning combi
nation. The Syrian girls didn’t be
lieve it. One of them kicked Ellison
in the «*hlns, and the other slapped
his face.
Ellison began to explain volubly
that he had no fuss with Syria, hut
before he got through Officer Lynan,
a large and imposing figure of a man,
came up.
“Ha!” said Ellison. “An American!
Curses on them!”
Officer Lynan reached out a large
hand and grasped Ellison firmly by
the collar.
“Come with me!” he 9fited firmly.
"Leggo!” shouted the brave Mexi
can. “I’m a Mexican and I won’t
stand for no interference from an
American. I can w hip any American
that ever worse shoes. I’ll bite you
if you don’t leggo! -
He made a.‘» if to chew the officer's
club. Lynan grinned and tapped him
on the head. Ellison grunted, but
subsided. Lynan called the wagon
and the brave Mexican was loaded
into it, fighting and protesting.
Finally Admits Defeat.
En route to the station house Elli
son felt his courage rising up in him
again, and he turned on Officer
Thompson, who guards the prisoners
until Judge Broyles gets hold of them.
“You’re an American,. too,” Ellison
said. “I guess I can lick you. too.''
Officer Thompson grinned and said
nothing. Ellison made a pass at
Thompson. The officer sighed, be
cause it was a shame to do it, and
tapped Ellison on the aead. The Mex
ican subsided with a low, despairing
gurgle, and as' the waters closed over
his head, he murmured:
“Let Huerta fight ’em; I got
enough.”

BUFFALO, N. N., Aug. 29.— Preti-
dent Emeritus Eliot, of Harvard Col
lege, addressing the delegates tof the
fourth International Congress on
School Hygiene, of which he is the
founder, in session here tod-day,
said:
“The progressive civilization of the
last hundred years has worked ter
ribly against the health and perpe
tuity of the whole race. This is seen
in the reduced vitality of the multi
tudes that inhabit closely-built, cities
in the diminishing size of families in
the incapacity of many women to
among the Navajos in Arizona, that
disproportionate increase in the num-
of the insane, defective and crim

royal nature. Leaving Mobile Wed

prominent citizens, who escorted the
party through the city to the river
ferry.
At Ocean Springs, the stopping

Mr. Ferguson and party will pass
through Bogalusa, Covington and
Abita Springs Friday, spending the
night at Mandeville, La., preparatory
to taking the ferry' for New Orleans
early Saturday morning.

at No. 15 Moseley street, was arrested
Friday morning at 4 o’clock when he
offered the animal for sale to Sam
Mauldin, a butcher at No. 580 Deca

day If he would buy a cow. Mauldin
said he would, and Gresham said he
would bring the animal Friday morn
ing. Mauldin notified the police, and
when Gresham, panting and almost
exhausted from his hard w'ork in
catching the cow, appeared, he was
arrested by Patrolman Hannah.
Gresham say® he doexn’t know
whose cow It is, but admitted he took
the animal out of a pasture.
“Lawdy. boss," he said, “I <J°n6
think I earned dat cow. Dat’s the
liveliest cow I ever seed. I chased dat
cow all over de pasture all night be

1 heard a young mother
talking to her little son
about his teeth—tell
ing him how important
it is that the teeth be
kept clean.
“If you want to be a big, strong
boy,” she said, “and then a big,
strongman, you must have good
teeth. And to keep your teeth
sound you must remember now,
while you are a little boy, to
brush them twice every day.”
The young mother told me
that the youngster liked the
taste of liibbon Dental Cream
and that this had helped her in
inducing him to form the im
portant daily habit. Of course,
she talked with him about it
now and then to impress on him
the great advantage to his
health and comfort that comes
with this daily care. “Then

“BABY BAD MAN” SENT UP.
RACINE, YVIS.. Aug. 29.—The
“baby bad man" of record is 6-year-
old Richard Turlovsky. youngest boy
to he committed to the 8tate Indus
trial School for B »ys In this State.
That there is « good possibility of
victory' for the friends of bird pro
tection throughout the world Is the
Information conveyed In a telegram
to James H. Rice, Jr., of South Caro
lina, field agent for the National As
sociation of Audubon Societies, who Is
now’ in Atlanta looking into local con
ditions. The telegram was received
from National Secretary T. G. Pear
son, who is conducting the fight in
Washington.
According to Mr. Pearson, the ter-
’ff bill carried a rider prohibiting the
importation of the feathers of all wild
birds, except ostrich feathers. The
feathers of domestic poultry were
also permitted to come in. However,
' an amendment was added by the Sen-
I ate Finance Committee providing that
the feathers of ail birds which are
j killed as pests and the feathers of
game birds might be imported. This
clauee, tt is said, in effect would re
move protection from all the birds of
the world which live outside of this
country.
It is this amendment which has
been referred back to the Senate
committee for further consideration,
with the view of having it struck out.
In explaining the matter aqd the
work of the Audubon Society, Mr.
Rice declared the society was at
tempting by legislation to prohibit the
use of feathers taken from any wild
bird as an article of commerce. The
slaughtering of birds for their'feath-
ers, he said further, was not only ob
jectionable because of the effect on
the elimination of the pestiferous in
sect, but because the birds were killed
during the nesting period, thereby
causing a gradual elimination of the
species.
