Continued from Page 1. 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.

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. And there will be another record crowd at Ponce DeLeon, If only Jupe Piuvlus holds off By the way, what has become of that attendance war we had on with Birmingham?

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.

BY 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 excelled.
