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 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- June June June June June June June June 10 ... June 11 ... June 12 ... June 13 ... June 14 ...

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.” FARMER F.NDS LOST COIN IN HEART OF WATERMELON GREELEY, COLO., Sept. 13.—When Daniel Kinney, of this city, cut open the first watermelon of the season from his garden to-day he found In the center a half-dime of 1862, which he last last spring while planting the melon patch.

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 citing Game, but No One Knows the Score.

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 Imposed by Court Judge Allows Teamster Who Killed Boy To Be Punished by 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.

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.” Wife Beater Cured by Whipping Post Scare Judge Sabath Frightens Prisoner Into Promise To Be Good in the Future. Resolutions of Gratitude Passed for His Aid After Eruption of Vesuvius in 1906. MONUMENT IS UNVEILED At Banquet Following Ceremony Publisher Is Toasted Along With King and Queen. Special Cable to The American. 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.

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.
