TTTTC ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 3 COATICOOK. QUEBEJC, Sept. 7.— One year’s time may elapse before it Is legally determined whether Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive from the Mat- teawan (X. Y.) Asylum for the Crim inal Insane, is to be deported from Canada or Is to receive the protec tion of its laws. Assurance to this effect was given to Thaw to-day by his counsel. Thaw is certain that he has won a long delay and immediately after breakfast began packing for the Jour ney to Montreal, where he must be produced in the Supreme Court on September 15, when arguments will be delivered on the writ of habeas corpus secured by J. N. Greenshields fcnd N. K. LaFlamme from Justices Corss and Gervais in the Court of Appeals. Minister of Justice Doherty, who is also acting Minister of the Interior. Is reported to have said to-day at Ottawa that any appeal from the de cision of the Immigration Board in Coaticook ordering the deportation of Harry K. Thaw will not be acted on until the proceedings instituted by Thaw’s lawyers yesterday are dis posed ot It was reported that Thaw would be taken to Montreal tolday. His lawyer will immediately file applica tion for Thaw’s liberation on bail. Coup a Legal Masterpiece. It had been supposed that Green- shields and LaFlamme had withdrawn from the case, seeing nothing but de feat. but their retreat was only a masteHy piece of strategy by which tho doors may have been opened for a test of the constitutionality of the immigration law governing deporta tion. here. Crowds surround Ms quarters in the immigration detention room all the time. So high has feeling been running that a force of uni formed Montreal police was sent here to-day to remain as long as Thaw does. Officials realize the pro-Thaw peo ple only need a leader to “start some thing.” Worked up to the proper pitch, they undoubtedly would at tempt to storm the immigration build ing and release Thaw. Jerome Hearing Postponed. Complications have been added t> the general aspect of the Thaw ca3e by the events subsequent to the ar rest of William Travers Jerome, ex- Dlstrlct Attorney of New York, on a charge of gambling. Mr. Jerome was to have been arraigned before Mag istrate McKee at 9:30 this morning, but Hector Verrett, acting for the New York lawyer, had the hearing postponed for a week. Meantime Mr. Jerome left Canada, going to Nortons Mills, Vt. In a sense, Mr. Jerome thus made of him self a fugitive from justice, reversing the position of Thaw, who is a fugi tive In Canada. Influence has been brought to bear upon Crown Prosecutor A. C. Hanson to have the charge against Mr. Je rome, who is at liberty on bond, dropped. The crown prosecutor refused to do this. Says Jerome Set Bad Example. “I have received many complaints about the open gambling of Mr. Je rome and I consider it my duty to push this case against him,” said the prosecutor. “He was setting a bad Pan-American Worker and Dr. J. Clarence Owens Announce At lanta Speaking Engagement. John S. Barrett and Dr. J. Clar ence Owens will make addresses in Atlanta next week in the interest of the Southern Commercial Congress, which meets in Mobile in October. The trip here will be part of an i tin - ••ary covering practically every ^uumern city. The meeting of the congress in Mo bile will be held in conjunction with the Pan-American Congress, which- has been organized by the Pah- American i'nion The theme of the meeting will be “The Relation of the United States to the Panama Canal, to Latin America and to World Com merce.” A . John S. Barrett stands in the foremost ranks of the peace workers of the world. As Minister and Am bassador to several countries he has done much to promote the idea of t„- !<•* and was one of the organizers of the Pan-American Union. Dr. Owens is managing director of the Southern Commereial Congress and is exceptionally well known through out the South. CUPID TURNS WHOLESALER. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 7.—Thir teen brides arrived here from Eu rope and were met at the pier by thirteen bridegrooms. Immigration officials herded the thirteen couples together, secured marriage licenses, *nd took them to a church, where ah •per* with one ceremony. example. Every one could see him and his companions playing.” This is a sort of puritanical com munity and gambling is looked upon as a serious offense. Thaw had double cause for elation. He showed by act and utterance that ho is enjoying the discomfiture of the prosecutor. In the first place he has gained a notable point in obtaining a writ of habeas 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 I 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 are an Injunction re- ] straining the Immigration Board of Inquiry from enforcing any decision in the matter of the ejection of Thaw 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 habeas 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 Boudreau was placed In the position of trying to free a 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 stand trial in the October term of the King’s bench. Another Thaw Outburst. Capt* ‘n John Lanyon, who has been Jerome’s inseparable companion, scoffed at the idea that the New York lawyer would forfeit his bail 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 annoy 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 that 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’s decision in the Boudreau habeas corpus proceed ings. Mclnnes asserts that the immigra tion authorities are proceeding with out the Minister of the Interior hav ing received any complaint as pro vided for by the law.

Edison Says He Is Feeling Stronger BOSTON, Sept. 7.—am feeling better and stronger these past few days.” said Thomas A. Edison, the world-famous inventor. “\Vhat am I working on now?” Well, it is an invention something like the talking pictures. It is a huge phonograph, and It will repro duce the operas and operattas.

A magnificent dirt road stretched along the railroad leading to Jennings. A heavy rain during the night failed to Impede traffic because of the lib eral use of the log drag. Good Roads Object Lesson. At the ferry Mayor John Gamble and a special reception committee from Jennings greeted Mr. Ferguson with a brass band. On the Jennings side of the river the mud was a foot thick, and one of the greatest object lessons of the value of the log drag was encountered. The road had the same rain that had visited the Crow ley side, but it has never been touch ed since it has been formed. While the going was sticky, the car and the escorting machines, numbering twelve, arrived at the parish seat of Jeffer son Davis Parish on schedule time. Mr. Ferguson made his good roads ad dress to an enthusiastic audience. At Welch and at Iowa crowds heard the good roads address, and then the triumphant entry Into Lake Charles was made.

Citizens of the whole western part of Louisiana have shown by their In terest in the coming of the pathfinder that they are more than interested in good roads, and in a coming election in October it is expected that a $900,- 000 bond issue for the building oi model gravel roads will receive an overwhelming majority.

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.

I am found guilty of violating the white slave law In taking Lola Norris to Reno, but I am not guilty of persuading or enticing her away. I am not guilty of anything in con nection with the part Marsha War rington played In the trip to Reno. I hope they will drop the charges of conspiracy against me.” Caminetti. free under a $10,000 bond pending sentence by Federal Judge Van Fleet, was cheerful to day. The verdict of the Jury made possible a sentence of five years and a fine of $5,000. Maury I. Diggs, con victed on the same charge, may be sentenced to twenty years and a $20,- 000 fine.

The victory of the Government Is made more spectacular from the prominence of the men involved. Caminetti is from a well-known and respected family. Diggs formerly was the architect for the State of California. The case was fought with all the wealth at the command of the affected families.

CHOICE OF ROUTES AND GOOD SERVICE I P I Life’s Worth Living in Georgia If you prefer city life, there are no better cities in the world than those in Georgia. If you prefer village life, the smaller towns in Georgia offer every inducement. If you prefer country or farm life, Georgia offers greater inducements than any State in the Union. Georgia lands work the year round, from two to five crops being gath- j ered off of the same land each year—crops that are profitable. Climate and Soil c— — The climate is such that far mers do not have to house 1 stock during the winter, there being good grazingtheentire year. For raising cattle and stock Georgia offers greater inducements than can be found elsewhere. The soil is suited for almost anything that grows and can be utilized the entire year. The prices at which good farm land can be purchased at present in Georgia are so low that it is a matter of comment—some thinking that the land is not so good as stated. The land is good, but there are thousands of acres that are now lying idle and the good people of Georgia are anxious for good far mers t o come among them. Consequently the land is cheaper here than elsewhere.
