Cavet Wabbles in First Round, but Rallies
Attorney Forced to Give $5,000
Bond—Thaw Hearing Ends.
Deportation Seems Certain.
MONTREAL, Sept. 5.—Judge
Gervais this afternoon issued a
writ of habeas corpus for the pos
session of Harry K. Thaw, order
ing him to be brought into his
court forthwith.
COATICOOK. QUE.. Sept. 5.—At
noon to-day the board of inquiry of
the Department of Immigration,
which has been considering the de
portation , of Harry K. Thaw, ad
journed permanently with the an
nouncement that the finding would be
made public at 4 o’clock.
Immediately before adjournment,
Deputy Attorney General Franklin
Kennedy of New York State identi
fied Thaw as “the man who had been
incarcerated in the Matteawan, N. Y.,
Asylum for the Criminal Insane since
his acquittal of the murder of Stan
ford White.”
All indications were that
would be ordered deported forthwith.
Even Thaw himself believed this.
The sensation of the day was the
arrest of ex-District Attorney Wil
liam Travers Jerome, of New York,
on a charge of gambling. Jerome
spent several hours in the cell for-’
merly occupied by Thaw. Tf convicted,
he can be sent to jail for a year.
May Jump His Bond.
Attorneys Charles D. White and W.
I,. Shurtleff. of the Thaw counsel, as
sured Mr. Jerome that they had
nothing to do with his arrest, and
guaranteed to defend him free of
charge.
Jerome said if Thaw' was deported
this evening, he would follow him into
the United States, even if It did vio
late his bail bond.
Jerome will be arraigned for a hear
ing to-morrow morning at 9 o’clock.
It was the irony of fate that Je
rome was placed in»the same cell that
Thaw had occupied.
Crown Prosecutor Hanson object
ed to bail and w'anted Jerome heM
in jail, but he was overruled by Mag
istrate McKee.
The warrant for Jerome’s arrest
was based on an incident which hap
pened yesterday. While Jerome and
his detectives were seated in a tour
ing car outside of the immigration of
fice awaiting the result of the Thaw-
deportation hearing, the former New
York District Attorney began to while
away the tedious time with a game of
“penny ante.” Jerome lost nearly 50
cents.
Wilford Aldridge, a local business
man, swore to the affidavit that Je
rome gambled. The warrant was is
sued and given to Constable John An
drews. who handed the warrant to
Jerome this morning just after he ha j
eaten breakfast.
Taken to Same Jail as Thaw.
“What's this?” said Jerome, taking
the paper. He read it. Then he
laughed. *
“All right, officer, lead on.” he said.
From the office of the Justice of
the Peace. Jerome was taken to the
. same jail in which Thaw was confined
w hen he was first brought here.
Within a few minutes more than
1.000 persons surrounded the Jail.
There was a great deal of specula
tion a6 to whether complications
might not result from the arrest of a
New York State officer. Jerome is
commissioned as a special assistant
attorney general of New York State.
The penalty on conviction for gam
bling here is one year in jail.
A lawyer rushed to Thaw with the
news.
The fugitive laughed heartily. “T';e
learned counsel for the chicken trust
is in bad. is he?” said Thaw. “I al
ways said that man would come to
no good ^nd."
Associate counsel of Jerome in the
Thaw case demanded that bail be
given and the ex-District Attorney he
arraigned at on^e. It was t oon. how
ever. before Jerome was released on
bail.
Whiie Jerome was oeing taken ic
jail and after he was lodged in jail
there was a wild demonstration.

was unfounded.

The storm raged all along the
coast from Wilmington to Hatteris,

with the life-savers on Ocraeoke.

PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, Sept. 6.—When the Crackers
and GUIs took the field for the first game of their double-header,
ten thousand fans were crowded into the park.
More fans were arriving on every street car, in automobiles
and in busses. The crowd at the time the game started was esti
mated at 15,000. The throng overflowed the grandstand and
bleachers.
The din of the fans as they
swarmed into the park loaded
with cowbells, horns and various
other rooting apparatus.
The Atlanta team was cheered wild
ly as it came upon the field. The
Gulls were liberally applauded.
The grandstand and bleachers were
a raving mans of humanity when
Cavet began to wabble In the first in

heard at old Poncey Park. In fact,
half the fans had strained their vocal
pipes before the game fairly had got
started.

The fact that there were less than
