COLEBROOK, N. H., Sept. 13.—
Harry Thaw, far from maintaining
the cool, masterful po9e that he af
fected when he began his fight against
returning to Matteawan, is living in
a state of terror. The unexpected
freedom given him when the Cana
dian authorities without notice hus
tled him over the border has unset
tled him.

thrown into a panic of indecision. His
plans were disarranged. He had no
means of making good the escape for
which his freedom ghve him oppor- |

remained with him.

under guard, Thaw insists that the
officers sleep Just outside the door.
The presence of Jerome Alls him with
terror.
Added reason was given to his fear
when requisition papers calling for
his extradition from New Hampshire
to New York State were approved by
Acting Governor Glynn, of New York,
at the request^ of the authorities of
Dutchess County. The papers were
directed to Governor Feiker, of New
Hampshire, who has announced that
he recognizes Mr. Glynn’s right to
issue them.
However, there come moments of
calm. In which he plans to continue
his fight against return to New York
soil. He announced to-day that he
has employed a retinue of lawyers to
conduct his fight here, and that he
keeps in touch with his advocates in
Canada, who are endeavoring to ob
tain his legal return to Canadian soil
Scores Immigration Officers.
Also, in these moments of logical
behavior, Thaw is loudly indignant in
his attack on Canadian authorities
for arbitrarily hustling him over the
border. He and his lawyers charge
that the action was without legal
basib. His hopes were that the courts
of the Dominion would heed his plea
and prevent extradition. In Canada
he was glowing in his praise of Can
ada and its people, declaring his be
lief \hat he would obtain Justice. Now
he is disgruntled.
“I hope to get a better variety of
Justice under the Stars and Stripes,"
he said to-day, in talking of his plans
to fight against returning to New
York.
Oddly enough, Thaw and his ene
mies are of a single mind in denounc
ing the action of the Canadian immi
gration authorities. Jerome and his
allies who have been pursuing Thaw
are not yet over the fright they re
ceived when they found the fugitive
had been released. For three hours
they scoured the countryside, ob
sessed by the fear that they would
lose their quarry. And now they are
indignantly talking of the high-hand
ed action of the immigration officials.
Jerome and Deputy Attorney Gen
eral Kennedy, of New York, both
were hitter in their attack on those
who sent Thaw across the border free.
The fight, transferred from Canada
to New Hampshire, will take on a
slightly different aspect. Jerome And
his allies will attempt to obtain
Thaw’s return to New York on a
warrant charging him with conspir
ing to escape from the asylum, a
criminal charge. Thaw’s lawyers will
-,, np T to offset this with the argu
ment that Thaw, being insane in the
eyes of New York authorities, could
not conspire, in the sense of the law.
Jerome Grows Impatient.
The fight probably will consume
several days or a week, so that even
if the fugitive loses he will not be’
taken to Matteawan before late this
week. Jerome is growing impatient
over the stubbornness of Thaw’s
fight and immediately upon his ar-

Young Man Wins Girls’ Smile, but
When He Does So He Loses
Mustache.
Sir Oliver Lodge Declares That
Psychic Region Can Be
Studied Effectively.
EXISTENCE RESEMBLES LOOM
Intercourse Across the Chasm of
Death May Be Gradually
Attained, He Asserts.
Special Cable to The American.
BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, Sept.
13.—“I am one of those who think
that the methods of science are not
so limited in scope as has been
thought, that they can be applied
much more widely and that the
psychic region can be studied and
brought under law, too.”
So declared the learned Sir Oliver
Lodge, president of the British As
sociation for the Advancement of
Science, in his address at the opening
of the association’s meeting here to
day.
.And again the erudite president
said:
“Already the facts examined have
convinced me that memory and affec
tion are not limited to that associa
tion with matter by which alone they
can manifest themseives here and
now, and that personality persists be
yond personal death.”
So, despite his denial that he would
invade the psychic region in his ad
dress Sir Oliver did enter it, but he
watched his every step, guarded his
every word.
“Keystone of Evolution.”
Said he to his great audience:
“If we have learned from science
that evolution is real, we have learned
a great deal. Surelv evolution is not
an illusion; surely the universe pro
gresses in time. Time and space and
matter are abstractions, but are none
the less real; they are data given by
experience; and time is the keystone
of evolution.
“I see the whole of material exist
ence as a steady passage from past
to future, only the single instant
which we call the present being ac
tual. The past is not non-existent,
however; it is stored in our memo
ries; there is a record of it in matter,
and the present is based upon it; the
future is the outcome of the present
and is the product of evolution
Life Is Like a Loom,
“Existence is like the output from
a loom. The pattern, the design for
the weaving, is in some sort^ ‘there’
already; but whereas our looms are
mere machines, once the guiding
cards have been fed into them, the
Loom of Time is complicated by a
multitude of free agents who can
modify the web. * • •
“Either we are immortal beings or
we are not. We may not know our
destiny, but we must have a destiny
of some sort. Those who make de
nials are just as likely to be wrong
as those who make assertions; in fact,
denials are assertions tnrown into
negative form.
. “Scientific men are looked up to as
authorities and should be careful not
to mislead. Science may not be able
to reveal human destiny, but it cer
tainly should not obscure it. Things
are as they are, whether we find them
out or not.
Asks for a Fair Trial.
“Allow us, anyhow, to make the at
tempt. Give us a fair field. Let those
w'ho prefer the materialistic hypothe
sis by all means develop their thesis
as far as they can; but let us try
what we can do in the psychical re
gion and see which wins.
“Our methods ar© really the same
as theirs—the subject matter differs.
Neither should we abuse the other for
making the attempt.
“In justice to myself and my co-
workers I must leave on record our
conviction that occurrences now re
garded as occult can be explained and
reduced to order by the methods of
science carefully and persistently ap
plied,” said Sir Oliver, on whom uni
versities have showered honorary de
grees.
“The evidence, to my mind, goes to
prove that discarnate intelligence, un-
lier certain conditions, may interact
with us on tl\e material side, thus in
directly coming within our scientific
ken; and that gradually we may hope
to attain some understanding of the
nature of a larger, perhaps the real,
existence, and of the conditions reg
ulating intercourse across the chasm.”

SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 13.—
When Mayo Newhall, Jr., scion of a
wealthy and prominent San Francisco
family, came to Santa Barbara a cou
ple of weeks ago for a social visit,
he had to introduce himself to his
many Santa Barbara and Montecito
friends, for he was changed in looks.
He had grown a mustache.
Young men friends became jealous,
as they had noticed the admiring
glances of the girls of the younger
set, and one night determined to place
Mr. Newhall on equal grounds with
themselves.
It was the night Miss Gladys
Keeney entertained that the young
men wrought their vengeance. One
with a mug of lather and another
with a safety razor followed closely
the gang that pounced upon the San
Franciscoan. When the gang w*^
through, Mr. Newhall was minus his
hirsute adornment.
Bloomer Girls Beat
Ministers in Skirts
Drexel Biddle Bible Class Sees Ex

the Score.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.—Nine
ministers dressed In skirts, sans slits,
and nine pretty girls clad in bloom
ers furnished the amusement and ex
citement in a game of baseball for
2,500 members lof the A. J. Drexel
Biddle Bible class at the outing jt
that organization at Lansdowne.
It wasn’t much of a game of ball,
but the contest, which was for a box
of candy, proved of much interest
and never-ending merriment. None
of the players knew the score when
the game was called at the end of
the seventh inning, but Mr. Biddle*
announced that he girls had won.
Miss Anna Zang twirled the bloom-
erites to victory. Nearly all of the
girls shut their eyes when at bat, but
at that several hit for two bases.
Remorse Is Sentence

Judge Allows Teamster Who Killed

Conscience.
NEW YORK, Sent. 13.—County
Judge Tiernan, of Brooklyn, deliv
ered two Solomonic admonitions to
prisoners.
To Herman Maler, indicted for
manslaughter, the court said:
“I’ll not send you to prison. I will
let remorse be your punishment.”
Maier, a truckman, threw a stone
at some boys who teased his horse.
He struck one and meningitis and
death followed.
To Harry Bender, convicted of bur
glary, the judge said:
“It would be better for this man if
he were dead. He is an habitual
criminal. I sentence him to four
years.”
Kissed 15 Candy Girls
So Must Pay Alimony
“Matter of Habit,” Says Confectioner
When on Stand in Suit for
Divorce.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.—An
nie McCay, owner of a candy i?tore
at No. 211 Church street, was granted
a divorce by Judge Traoucco, from
George McCay, owner of five candy
stores in this city and Oakland. Mc
Cay was ordered to pay his wife $20
a month for the support of their
minor child.
The wife took to court fifteen pretty
candy girls who had been in her hus
band’s employ. All of these girls tes
tified that McCay had either atempted
or had actually kissed them during
working hours. McCay admitted the
kisses, but tried to condone his action
by declaring it was “a matter of
habit.”

NAPLES, Sept. 13.—A memorial to
the 105 mothers and children crushed
to death during the eruption of 1906
under the roof of the small chapel in
San Giuseppe Vesuviano, w'here they
sought refuge against the overpow
ering fall of ashes and rocks, was un
veiled to-day in tiie presence of the
civil and military authorities of Na
ples, the Mayor of each town in the
Vesuvian district and a large crowd
of representative citizens.
A feature of the ceremony was a
resolution of the Town Council of San
Giuseppe Vesuviano thanking Mr.
Hearst and his newspapers for the
substantial help sent to the afflicted
district at the time of the eruption.
The monument, consisting of a base
nine feet high and a twelve-foot mar
ble column surmounted by a Pom
peian capital, the work of the sculp
tor Arizo, of Naples, marks the site
where on the night of April 8, 1906,
the stricken mothers repaired with
their infants to pray for deliverance
from the impending catastrophe.
Resolution of Thanks.
While they prayed the roof of the
flimsy structure collapsed under the
accumulated deposit of fishes and all
were crushed to death.
The Hearst newspapers collected
for the sufferers more than $35,000,
which was handed to the Italian Red
Cross Society. A small balance of
$206 afterward was devoted to the
erection of the memorial which the
local population had decided to build.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.—The threat of
a whipping post for wife beaters by
Municipal Judge Sabath in the Hyde
Park Court yesterday was enough to
make John Firber, No. 1161 South
Park avenue, plead for mercy.
“I think 1 will let the policeman who
arrested you take you downstairs to
the whipping post,” said Judge Sab
ath to him. “You know we have one
for wife beaters now.”
“Fine me. Judge," pleaded Firber
with his arms extended, “but don’t do
that.”
After he had made a promise never
to hit his wife against the court dis
charged him, , „
mittee, before unveiling the monu-
iTient, read resolutions thanking Mr.
Hearst for his generous help. The
resolutions, engrossed upon parch
ment, were then handed to Judge Pal
mier!, who was present as Mr.
Hearst’s representative.
Banquet to Judge Palmier!.
Later a banquet was given in honor
of Judge Palmieri. In an address the
Baron Quarante di San Severine cited
many actions of Mr. Hearst which, he
pointed out, entitled him to the grati
tude of Italians, both in Italy and in
America. He mentioned also the
stand taken by all the Hearst news
papers during the Italo-Turkish war,
and the many fights made by those
publications against laws restricting
immigration.
Every reference to Mr. Hearst was
loudly cheered.
Speaking as the representative of
Mr. Hearst, Judge Palmieri thankel*
the committee and the municipality
for the noble way in w’hich they ex
pressed their gratitude to one of
Italy’s most sincere friends in Amer

Multiplane Intended to Carry Pas

Built in Savannah.
SAVANNAH. Sept. 13.—A Georgia
man. with ambitious vision, is plan
ning an aeroplane trip across the At
lanta Ocean. The time for the ven
ture Is not far distant, and the busy
hammering and filing that can be
heard in the workshop near Savannah
tells that every preparation is being
made.
It is Captain Matthew A. Batson,
a retired army officer, who will make
this challenge to destiny. He has
been working for years toward this
end, and has perfected a unique type
of flying machine that Is popularly
known as the Batson hydro-aero
plane.
So certain are Captain Batson and
his friends that the daring venture
will be successful that a concern has
been organized, known as the Bat
son Aero Company, incorporated un
der the laws of New Jersey, w’lth a
capital stock of $300,000, “to operate
between Savannah, Ga., and Liver
pool England, a line of passenger-
carrying air craft,” according to the
words of the charter.
Captain Batson is president of the
company. The line will not be es
tablished for little more than a year,
but there will be trial flights a-plenty
before that time, as the plans state,
at Thunderbolt, Brickyard Island, on
the Wilmington River, where the
plant is located.
Models Fly Faithfully.
The first flight of the hydro-aero
plane will be made esrly. The*mod
els of the machine have flown faith
fully. The entire machine is now as
sembled, the flying section having
been fixed to the boat hull several
days ago.
It is the Intention of Captain Bat
son to navigate the craft into the
Wilmington River, and to make the
first trial flights in the direction of
Wilmington Island. The tests of the
airship will be visible from the Casi
no, Thunderbolt, and it is expected
that thousands of people will make
the trip to the resort to see the big
machine as it takes to xne air.

ALBANY, Sept. 13.—For the first
lime in the history of New York
State a chief executive will go to trial
for “high crimes and misdemeanors”
when Governor William Sulzer faces,
on Thursday next, a majority of the
Senate and a majority of the Court
of Appeals, sitting,as a high court of
impeachment.
Special counsel for the State of
New York to prosecute the impeach
ment will summon Sulzer to the bar.
Aaron J. Levy, majority leader of
the Assembly and chairman of the
Assembly Board of Managers, wili
have direct charge of the prosecution,
for it was the Assembly that im
peached Sulzer, as prescribed by the
Constitution. Sulzer, who still main
tains his right to the Governorship,
will he defended by a brilliant array
of counsel.
With Sulzer on trial the battle be
tween New York’s “People’s Govern
or,” and Tammany Hall, the political
organization that made him and is
now setting out to break him, will
near Its end. It Is a political quarrel
that will go down in history.
It will be a dramatic moment when
Sulzer steps before the court of im
peachment, with Chief Justice Cullen,
of the Court of Appeals, presiding.
There have been nany rumors of
what Sulzer’s defen; e will be, but no
definite statement of what course it
will take could be obtained from any
of his counsel to-day.
Sulzer Appears Confident.
On the eve of his trial Sulzer ap
pears confident. So, for that matter,
do his enemies. They say that the
court of impeachment will not be af
fected in any way by the feeling of
popular sympathy for Sulzer. It will
be a cold, calm proposition of wheth
er Sulzer was or was not guilty of
malfeasance In office—a question of
whether, as charged by the Assem
bly, he did or did not speculate in
Wall street with campaign funds an.l
of whether he did or did not fall t3
give a true and correct list of his cam
paign contributions in his sworn
statement of. campaign receipts and
expenditures.
It is possible that a dramatic, per
haps pathetic, touch will be given the
proceedings by the introduction of the
name of Mrs. Sulzer. It is said to be
likely that Mrs. Sulzer will stand by
the statement credited to her In which
she is alleged to have said that it
was she who speculated in Wa.l
street with campaign fund's, without
the Governor’s knowledge. If this is
to be the Sulzer line of defense. Mrs.
Sulzer will be forced to make very
humiliating admissions upon the wit
ness stand, an ordtal that would be
very' trying to her and a proceeding
which even Sulzer’s worst enemies
would prefer to avoid.
Before the Court of Impeachment
can commence to hear the charges
drawn by the Assembly, there must
be at least four of the Judges of the
Court of Appeals present and at least
26 members of the Senate.
Justices Who Try Case.
Edgar M. Cullen is Chief Justice
of the Court of Appeals. Associated
with him are Justices John Clinton
Gray. William E. Werner, Willard
Bartlett. Frederick Collins. William H.
Cuddebaek and John W. Hogan. There
are three other associate justices, not
elected, as were all of the foregoing,
but designated by Governors at differ
ent times because of the press of liti
gation before the court. Emory A.
Chase wa6 designated an associate
justice in 1906. Frank H. Hiscock is
also an associate Justice, designated
by Governor Sulzer, Justice Nathan
Miller was designated by Sulzer him
self in January last.
There is much difference of opin
ion as to whether these designated
justices will be legally entitled tp ei$
