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. Democrats Agree On New Rates of Income Taxation WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.

The wireless station at Cape Hat teras reported to the Washington wireless station this morning that it had been In communication with the Ocracoke life-saving station and th-2 life savers declared the reported loss was unfounded. They had assisted a number of dis abled seamen caught in small boat? when the storm hit the island, but beyond this and small property dam • ,ige there was no cause for alarm. The news to-day was so encourag 1ng that Governor Craig did not con sider it necessary to start relief ex peditions to tK>racoke or the eoasl towns or take other precautionary measure*. He notified the American Red Cross that relief was unneces sary at this time. The local weather bureau to-day received weather reports from Hat teras station for the first time since Tuesday. The storm raged all along the coast from Wilmington to Hatteris, and first reports were that seamen feared the 80ft inhabitants of Ocrri- coke had been drowned by a tidal wave.

The communication between Ra leigh and Newbern was by way of Richmond. It is said that the dam age there Is not more than $150,000. Sawmills are reported as the worst sufferers. Ocracoke Island contains a popu lation of 800 persons, all fishermen and their families, but only 500 were at first thought to have been lost. There is not a street in the colony, and persons going from one place to another are compelled to climb fences. The houses are built on piles and even the graveyards are erected on stilts.

Telegraphic communication has been restored to all important coasi towns except Beaufort and Moreheai Oity, to the south of Newbern. and Washington, near the mouth of Pam- llco River. Three persons were reported dead at Washington. Two raiiroad bridges, one a mile long, of the Norfolk South ern line, were swept a wav.

If Scott waved the traffic on, so did Nathan: if Scott gracefully inclined his head in re sponse to a greeting, so did Nathan; if Scott nonchalantly twirled his stick, then Nathan twirled his stick, too. At length, Scott saw him. and so great was his astonishment that he could only repeat the old formula: “Where the Dickens did you come from?” «• “I’m a policeman.” genially smiled Nathan. “I ni going to help you. I like to be a policeman.” The “regular policeman.” however, bundled the youngster up and sent him to headquarters, where Nathan jollied one copper into giving him some chewing gum, borrowed a cap and a night stick from another, and perched himself in a chair. He was happy for two hours—until his frantic mother appeared and he was nustled away home—to the ac companiment of sundry spanks and vigorous protestations.
