Surprises Fugitive’s Attorneys by
Suing Out Writ Which May
End Legal Struggle.
ARRESTING OFFICER HELPS
Starts Habeas Action, Saying He
Wants Prisoner Freed Because
He Fears Suit.
SHERBROOKE, QUEBEC, Aug. 30.
Harry K. Thaw was dealt a discon
certing- blow to-day by his implacable
foe, William Travers Jerome.
Jerome, who practically admitted
yesterday that he was baffled, threw
Thaw and his coterie of Canadian
counsel into a panic by swearing out
a new writ of habeas corpus, which
he hopes will force Thaw out of Sher
brooke jail Tuesday and into the
hands of the immigration officials,
who will dump him across the border
into the United States.
Helped, it is stated, by the influence
of Premier Borden himself, Jerome,
through Canadian attorneys, swore
out a writ calling for the appearance
of Thaw in Superior Court here at 10
o’clock Tuesday morning.
The petitioner is John Boudereau.
Chief of Police of Coaticook, who ar
rested Thaw and swore to the faulty
commitment which Thaw had relied
upon to keep him in jail until the Oc
tober term of the Court of King’s
Bencn. Boudereau asks that Thaw be
released instantly, and requests per
mission to withdraw his complaint.
Officer Fears Suit.
Boudereau states in the petition
that he fears Thaw will sue him for
false arrest and he desires that the
prisoner be released for his own pro
tection.
Jerome’s negotiations with Boude
reau were conducted with absolute

petition was chosen on the day m
which Superior Court Justice Hutch
inson returned for the opening of the
judicial year, and when all the Thaw
lawyers except one were away.
Frantic wires were sent to J. N.
Greenshields and W. K. McKeown,
Thaw’s chief counsel. McKeown, boil
ing over with rage, hurried back to
Sherbrooke.
He denounced Jerome’s action as a
subterfuge, and declared a “gentle

Civil Service Board
Will Have Control of Police and Fire
Departments—Franchise
Renewal Sought.
AUGUSTA, Aug. 30.—On Tuesday
afternoon next, at 4:30 o’clock, City
Council will hold its regular monthly
meeting, and a number of matters of
importance are to come up.
The election of a civil service com
mission, composed of five members, is
one of the principal matters of busi
ness. Council will name, in all prob
ability, E. J. Lyon, Eugene Wilder, E.
A. Pendleton, Warren Walker and
George W. Wright. This commission,
beginning January 1, will take charge
of the police and fire departments.
A hill authorizing a civil service
hoard was passed at the last session
of the Legislature. E. J. Lyon is at
present chairman of the Police Com
mission. and George W. Wright is
chairman of the fire committee of City
Council.
Council will also consider the
granting of a renewal of the franchise
of the Atlanta and Carolina Construc
tion Company, a concern organized to
build an electric railroad from Atlan
ta to Augusta.

gration interests that no action was
to be taken until Wednesday.
“This writ is purely a bluff,” con
tinued McKeown, hotly. “Mark my
words, Thaw will be in jail and in his
present position Tuesday night.
“We shall attack the writ upon the
ground that Boudereau is not an in
terested party and has no right to sue
out a writ.”
“Will Thaw be across the border in
a week. as you stated a day or two
ago?” Jerome was asked.
“Yes,” he replied, with a smile. “You
can bank on that.”
Franchise Is Asked

ATHENS, Aug 30.—A representa
tive of the Atlanta-Carolina Railway
appeared before the Mayor and Coun
cil of Athens this week to ask for a
franchise of the proposed railway
from South Carolina to Atlanta on
the streets of the city. A franchise
for this purpose was granted several
years ago, but has lapsed.
The proposition was taken into
consideration and w ill be reported on
favorably. This is a proposed inter-
urban line that is being projected
from South Carolina through Geor
gia and will either run by Athens or

FATE DECIDED
It
Normal School to
Open on Sept, 3
Branch of University to Begin Sec
ond Term at Valdosta With
Bright Prospects.
Becomes Effective January 1 if
Adopted at Special Election;
Otherwise, Issue Is Dead,
Forces interested in the adoption
of the amended city charier of At
lanta authorized by the last Legis
lature, which will be ratified or re
jected at a special election Septem
ber 24, are marshaling their strength
for the fight.
If a majority of the voters at this
election approve the new’ charter, it
will become effective January 1. If
it is rejected at the polls, the issue
becomes a dead letter.
Two features of the charter are to
be voted on separately. First is the
section to reduce the powers of the
City Recorder. The other is the sec
tion providing for the initiative, ref
erendum and recall. Both stand alone.
Difference between the new charter
and the present is largely a matter of
detail. There is no change in the
basic form of government.
Principal Divergences.
Among the principal changes are:
Abolition of the Grady Hospital
Board. The Grady Hospital, the Bat
tle Hill Sanitarium, the City Warden,
the Sanitary Department and the
Health Department all go under the
direction of the Board of Health, Hos
pitals and Charities.
Administration of the Fire Depart
ment is changed from a committee of
Council to the Board of Public Safe
ty, the Police Department also going
under this control.
All heads of departments are to be
elected by the boards, Instead of
some by Council, some by the people
and some by the boards.
Failure of the Mayor to approve
any action of Council four days after
it is taken shall act as approval.
A quorum of Council is fixed at
sixteen instead of eleven.
Under the new charter, the hoards
will be as foliow’s: Education, Pub
lic Safety, Health, Hospital and
Charities, Public Works, Water Com
missioners, Public Recreation, Trus
tees of the Carnegie Library.
All charter offices not mentioned in
the new charter are abolished, sub
ject to service until the end of the
present term.
Initiative and Referendum.
Ten per cent of the registered vot
ers can call for an initiative election
within 30 days after their petition is
filed. If their resolution or ordiance
receives a majority of votes polled at
this election, it becomes law' immedi
ately and can not be repealed save
at a similar election.
Fifteen per cent can call a refe
rendum election on any ordinance or
resolution which has already been
acted upon by the Mayor and Council,
provided this petition is presented
within 60 days after such resolution
or ordinance is passed, and a majority
of votes polled at this election shall
repeal any action taken by Mayor
and Council.
Mayor, Aldermen, Councilmen, all
officers elected by vote of the people,
are subject to recall. Twenty-five per
cent of the registered voters can or
der a recall election.
VALDOSTA, Aug. 30.—The fall and
second term of the South Georgia
State Normal College, branch of the
State University in this city, will be
gin on Wednesday, September 3.
Nearly all the members of the fac
ulty reached the city this week, and
the others are expected to arrive on
Monday. R. H, Powell, president of
the college, has spent the summer in
the city, foregoing his vacation, in
order to get the institution in trim
for the fall opening. Professor J. M.
Guilliams, who has been at the Uni
versity of Chicago during the sum
mer, returned this week. Professor
(’reel, who spent the summer at tha
University of Wisconsin, arrived
home yesterday.
Nineteen counties, embracing every
section of the State, are represented
in the enrollment so far. There are
only two places vacant in the dormi
tory, and before the opening on next
Wednesday it is believed that many
applications for room in the dormi
tory will have to be turned (down.
The classrooms and faculty are am
ple to serve 250 students, but what is
needed is more dormitory room.
The city public schools will open on
September 15.
Fugitive Insurance
Man in Athens Jail
Trailed From Georgia to Canada on
Charge of Cheating and
Swindling.
ATHENS, Aug. 30.—J. M. Lindsay,
alias J. C. Moore, who has been trailed
and tracked by detectives from coast
to coast and from Georgia finally to
Canada, and who is wanted here for
cheating and swindling, was landed in
the Clarke County jail this week, hav
ing been brought from Calgary, Al
berta, by an Athens deputy.
Lindsay came to Athens .some
months ago as agent for the New’
York Mutual Insurance Company, and
did a business that was startling until
he gathered up a lot of notes, the
amount of which reached into the
thousands, cashed them at a local
bank at a discount, and left town
without notice or apparent cause.
The company he represented made
good the losses to the local policy
holders and secured detectives to fol
low Moore, as he was known here,
and located him in Canada after a
search across the continent.
RETAIL CLERKS’ UNION
ASKS SHORTER HOURS
OF
LEE PLANTED
Negro Youth Charged With Being
Acessory to Killing R. L.
Josey Now in Custody.
ALBANY, Aur, 30.—Zelma Mathis,
the 16-year-old son of Doc Mathis,
who killed R. L. Josey in Lee County
few w’eeks ago, was arrested here
yesterday by Officer Ralph Perry, of
the local force, on a warrant sworn
out for him in Lee County, charging
him with being an accomplice.
Deputy Sheriff Coxwell came to Al
bany last night and carried the ne
gro back to Lee County.
This is the third one of the Mathis
hoys to be rarested in this vicinity.
Willis and O. C. Mathis, two older
sons of Doc Mathis, were arrested
during the first of the week on the
same charge ns their younger brother
and carried to Leesburg last Thurs
day, where they will await trial.
The Sheriff of Dougherty County,
assisted by a local police officer and
Deputy Sheriff Tarver, arrested the
two last-named negroes.
Mathis is the father of eleven boys,
and if the Lee County officers have
warrants for the remainder of the
family as accessories, the officers in
this section probably will be busy lo
cating them until the time for Mathis’
trial at the next term of court.
