Lawyers' Coup and Jerome’s Ar

in Fugitive’s Hands.

writ of hftbea.a corpus returnable In
Montreal, and In the second place his
Nemesis, Mr. Jerome, Is In trouble,
facing a possible sentence of a year.
Thaw’s Lawyers Well Armed.
"I have been assured to-day by W.
L*. Shurtleff, my attorney of record,
that 1 probably will be able to fight
my case out Indefinitely In order to
establish my civic status in Canada”
Thaw said.
Thaw’s lawyers here are well
armed. In addition to the writ of
habeas corpus they have two other
instruments which open fighting chan
nels. These fire an injunction re
straining the Immigration Board of
Inquiry from enforcing any decision
in the matter of the ejection of Thau
as an undesirable alien, and they also
have papers in an appeal from the
decision of Judge Matthew Hutchin
son. The Court of Appeals will hear
arguments upon the appeal from
Judge Hutchinson’s decision in the
Boudreau haheaa corpus case later.
Complications Arising.
Complications seem sure to become
more tangled as the case proceeds.
Interest from the points of law Is
being raised. Of these the appeal
from Judge Hutchinson’s decision
probably will attract most attention.
In these proceedings Constable John
Rotldrrau was placed in the position
of trying to free man he had ar
rested.
It was rumored that a warrant
charging Mr. Jerome with being a
fugitive from justice would be issued.
It is believed by many that the Je
rome case will go to the grand jury
and that Mr. Jerome will have to
jftand trial in the Optober term of the
King's bench.
Another Thaw Outburst.
Captain John Lnnyon, who has
been Jerome’s inseparable companion,
at the Idea that the New
York law’yer would forfeit his ball by
remaining in the United States.
Captain Lanyon bears credentials
as a deputy keeper at the Mattea-
wan Asylum for the Criminal Insane
and has a warrant for Thaw charg
ing conspiracy.
There was another pro-Thaw dem
onstration here, much to the arinby-
ance of E. Blake Robertson and other
representatives of the Canadian Im
migration Department.
Holds Inquiry Is Illegal.
A development occurred in Thaw’s
favor which is regarded by the fugi
tive’s counselors as a big step to
ward victory. Thomas R. E. Mc-
Innes, who drew up the immigration
act under which Thaw’s case comes,
has sworn to a deposition In which
he alleges thq,t the inquiry of the
board of immigration officials was il
legal. This deposition will be pre
sented to the Supreme Court when
arguments are made on the appeal
- from Judge Hutchinson’# decision in
the Boudreau habeas corpus proceed
ings.
Mclnnes asserts that the lmmigra
tion authorities are proceeding with
out the Minister of the Interior hav
ing received any complaint as pro
vided for by the law.

IH STOHM BELT
IS RESTORED
Bal Haven, Ocracoke and Ports
mouth Safe, Though Damaged
by Water and Wind.
HOI SUITE'S
NEWBERN, N. C., Sept. 6^-At 2
o’clock this morning for the first
time since last Tuesday afternoon,
when the coast storm struck this sec
tion, communication with Bal Haven
was possible. It had been reported
that Bal Haven had been wiped off
the map. This was incorrect, but the
damage done by the high water and
wind was terrific.
The worst part of the storm struck
there Wednesday morning. Water
rose fifteen feet above the high water
level and some of the buildings in
the lower part of the town were in
undated. It was necessary to oper
ate motor boats in the streets to re
move occupants of buildings to places
of safety.
The railway tracks between Bal
Haven and Pantego were washed
away, and it will be impossible to
operate trains there for several days.
Every sawmill in the place was either
demolished or badly damaged.
The mailboat running between
Ocracoke and Beaufort arrived at the
latter place at midnight after making
a special trip, and reported that no
lives were lost at Ocracoke and "Ports
mouth, but that the damage by wind
and water was great.
Newbern citizens are hard at work
clearing away the debris of the storm
and the citv is beginning to have
some semblance of its former se'f.
Careful estimates of the damage done
here made since the day of the storm
place the amount at not less than
$600,000, and this is practically a to
tal loss, as no clause in any of the
insurance policies provided for dam
age by water.
Not More Than
Half Dozen Dead.
RALEIGH, Sept. 6.—Belated re-
ports to-day from the storm-swept
area in Eastern North Carolina tend
to show that earlier reports of storm
damage were greatly exaggerated.
The loss of life will not total half a
dozen, and damage to crops and
business places may not reach more,
than $500,000. The Norfolk and
Southern Railway Company, whose
lines run through the storm-swept
section, is the heaviest sufferer, but
it was impossible to-day to make an
estimate of the money damage.
If yesterday’s rains do not causo
the Neuse and Tar Rivers to rise
again, it is not believed that the
freshet following the storm will
amount to much. No estimate has
been advanced as to .the loss of crops
by the heavy rains.

Ponce DeLeon after the third inning
of the game that 17,000 hysterical
fans would have taken oath to being
the game that would cinch the pen
nant for Atlanta.
The Gulls had the advantage of an
early call agreement—and they made
the most of It.
And now It depends on whether we
can lick Kid Elberfeld and his Pepper
Kids from Chattanooga. while Char
ley Frank and ids Pelicans take at
least one of the two games with Mo
bile.
Two things are certain:
Kid Elberfeld will do hig best to
beat us out of a pennant.
And Charley Frank will do his best
to beat Mique Finn out of a pennant.
Hot Battles Are Assured.
It may also be stated that the
Crackers will use some small endeav
or to trim the Pepper Kids to-day. and
it may even be assumed that the
Finns will exert themselves mildly In
combatting the Pelicans to-day und
to-morrow.
Also we draw the Big Pole. Cove
leskie pitched five innings yesterday,
but that doesn’t make much differ
ence to him. It may make some dif
ference to us, however.

The Atlanta booster buttons, thou
sands in number, have arrived at The
Georgian office.
Wllmer Moore, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Walter
Taylor, City Clerk of Atlanta, were
the first to .wear the attractive em
blems which will spread the name and
fame of the Gate City.
The thousands of buttons bearing
the smiling features of Miss Mary
Carl Hurst, voted Atlanta’s greatest
beauty, will be ready for distribution
to-day.
In spite of the large number which
were manufactured on the order of
The Georgian, the indications are that
the demand will be far in excess of
the number made up.
As soon as it became known that
the buttons were finished, The Geor
gian office was deluged with applica
tions for them. Store proprietors
wanted them to distribute to their
employees and to their customers.
Theater owners desired to have them
to give them out to their patrons.
The Georgian and Sunday Ameri
can will be glad to furnish buttons
to those who apply for them so long
as the supply holds out.
The Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
will be furnished a large number to
distribute among its members.
The legend on the button, already
well known, is: “Watch Atlanta—
She’ll get you get. 600,000 by 1920.”
Miss Hurst’s picture is in the center.

Governor Asserts Colorado and
Other Western Places Have
“Got Nothing on Georgia.”
Declaring that Denver, the repre
sentative city of the Middle West,
hasn't a thing on Atlanta—not even
In the dress line—Governor John M.
Slaton, who returned from the Gox-
ernors’ conference at Colorado Springs
Thursday night, expressed the firm
opinion Saturday that Atlanta was
just as good as any town in the whole
country and that Georgia was not be
hind those States called the most pro
gressive.
“Why, I saw only two slit skirts
during my whole stay in Denver,” said
the Governor, following a query, “and
they w r ere not of the extreme type.
“No, they haven't a thing on us out
there. And In a great many ways I
found that Atlanta and Georgia ac
tually were far ahead. When I told
them of how’ we borrowed money from
our home banks at 2 and 3 per cent,
they expressed much surprise, and
when I told them of our progressive
taxing laws, they were still more sur
prised.
Summing up. my visit to the West
has simply made me stronger in my
convictions that Georgia is Just as
progressive as any State. We are
greater than a great many of us be
lieve.”
The Governor declared the report
that the hospitality in Colorado was
below that of Southern hospitality
was erroneous. Governor Ammond,
he said, and others tendered hospital
ity to the visitors which could not be
