Cool, Masterful Pose He Assumed
in Canada Disappears When He
Faces Jeromd Under Stars and
Stripes—Angry With Dominion,
Preparations Under Way to Speed
Extradition From New Hamp- !
shire to Matteawan—Array of
Counsel Retained for Struggle,
COLEBROOK, N. H. Sepl. 13.—
Harry Thaw, far from maintaining
the cool, masterful pose that he af
fected when he began his tight againsi
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.
Free for a few hours. Thaw was
thrown into a panic of indecision. His
plana were disarranged. Me had no i
means of making good the escape for
which his freedom gave him oppor
tunity. And the panic neems to have j
ren: lined with him.
Here In the hotel where he remains ;
under guard, Thaw lnsif*ts that the j
officers sleep Just outside The door j
T e presence of Jerome fills him with i
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 tlie authorities of j
Dutchess County. The jtapers were
directed to Governor Felker, of New j
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 tight against return to New York ;
soil. He announced to-day that he j
hai* employed a retinue of lawyers to j
conduct his light here, and that he j
•ceepe iti touch with hi« advocates in t
Canada, who are endeavoring to ob
tain his legal return t<> Canadian soil j
Scores Immigration Officers.
Also, in these moments of logical
behavior, Thaw is loudly indignant in
Ids attack on Canadian authorities
for arbitrarily hustling him over the
border. He and hb» lawyers charge
that the action was without legal
basis. His hopes were that the courts
of t he Dominion would heed ills pie i
and prevent extradition In Canada
he was glowing in his praise of Can-
ad i and its people, declaring his ho
lier that h* 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 mitid in denounc
ing the action of the Canadian immi
gratlon authorities. Jerome and his
allies who have been pursuing Thaw
are not vet over the fright they re
ceived when they found the fugitive
hs\d »been released. For three hours
they scoured the countryside, ob-
>vs>-ed 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.

All Harry Thaw Will Have to Do
Is Ask Her, She
Declares.
NEW YORK, Sept. 13 —'There are
many ways in which I could help Har
ry, Just as I have done before. Some
flay he will realize that and come to
me asking for help.”
The above statement was made to
day by Evelyn Nsblt Thaw aftr she
was asked what she would do if the
attorneys for Harry Thaw should call
her to appear as a witness for him In
his efforts to obtain his freedom.
"There is nothing in all this world
that I would not do to help Harry
if he would come to me and make a
request,” continued Mrs. Thaw. “He
realizes that I have sacrificed every
thing in the past for his happiness
and that any one who has gone as far
as I have gone would not ‘quit’ until
they had won a complete victory.”
"Do you believe you could help
Harry in any material way In his
fight for freedom?"
"Yes. Harry realizes that. But I
will never give any assistance to Har
ry until he sends for me as his w^e.’
Depends on His Lawyers.
"There are a hundred ways In which
Harry could communicate with me. I
realize that he can not come to me.
But he doesn’t communicate with me;
he depends upon his high-priced law
yers.” •
“Could a friend transmit a message
to you from him that would act the
same as a personal message, so that
you would hasten to his side and aid
in his fight?” Mrs. Thaw was asked.
"Yes."
"In what way could you help your
husband?"
"1 will not discuss that with any
one,” was Mrs. Thaw’s answer. "I
will say that I stand ready to help
him In a way he knows. But he re
fuses to ask me. But let Harry send
me the proper message and I will
show the world that I stand ready
to again make every sacrifice and do
everything In my power to make Har
ry a free man.”
“Why don’t you communicate with
Harry Thaw’s mother?” was asked.
“Because she cut off my income
more than a year ago. You all tell

POTLATCH, WASH., Sept. 13— A
large cougar, mistaken for a calf,
was nearly run down by ,the logging
train on its way up into the woods
near Hake Cushman after a load of
log*. The cougar, whose length is
estimated at ten feet, paid little at
tention to the engine and loped along
for about 500 feet before getting out
of the way.
The_animal was on the property
which adjoins the water power site
which has been offered to the city of
J Seattle. Only a few hundred yards
away is the camp of Government
cruisers Dennie Ahl and G. Hutton,
who took up the chase. Other old-
time hunters took up the search, but
have not as yet located the lion.
The road to Lake Cushman, which
is much traveled, lies but a few hun
dred feet away, and the locality is
daily frequented by campers and fish
ermen.

Profese-r J. C. Lamson, of Nevada,

condemned the tendencies in modern
life which, he said, threaten to de

Though the prof- ssor had for his

ticular political party and did not say
how he classed the Progressives.
The class of professors in Ameri
can universities and colleges and
others who are joining them in at

tion in its present form were de
nounced at length by Professor Lam

commit the Government to religious

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Two
persons giving the names of Lori
and Lady Banff called at the Treas
ury Department yesterday and
claimed a quantity of jewelry and
silver plate said to have been stored
there for safe-keeping during the
Otril War. They were referred to
the Wtr Department, where records
th,. vaiuabips rche<i *" hopt ' ot Hn(ii ''" Iowa Professor
Lady Banff, who acted as sopkes-
man, told a dramatic story of how the
jewels were sent to the Treasury by
General W. T. Sherman from a con
vent in Columbia. R. C. A record, she
said, was sent to the War Depart
ment.
During the war, according to the
story, the people of Columbia became
alarmed lest the Federate would rob
them of their jewelry and silver. They
gathered their goods together, made
up a list and aid the valuables under
the floor of the Ursulian Convent
there.
Nuns Revealed Hiding Place.
When General Sherman arrived in
Columbia, he set fire t- the convent,
and the nhns. fearing that the valu
ables would be forever destroyed, re
vealed their hiding place.
General Sherman took charge of the
property, it is said, and sent It to the
Treasury, making afull report to the
War Department.
Yesterday’s visitors saw Byrom
Newton, private secretary to Secre
tary McAdoo, and told him the story. |
Mr. Newton, on investigation, found
that during the war a great deal of
jewelry and silver plate had been
turned over to the Treasury for safe
keeping. This was kept there, he said, j
until about ten years ago, when it
was sent to the War Department. The
visitors were sent to that department.
On arrival there they met John C.
Scofield, assistant and chief clerk,
who referred them to Colonel H. O.
S. Helstand, Acting Adjutant General.
They told Colonel Heistand the same
story, asking him to let them look at
the report made by General Sherman.
Lady Banff explained that her
mother had placed some of the fam
ily jewels in the lot, and that she now
w r anted to recover them.
Unable to Find Report. .
Colonel Heistand made an ''exam
ination, but failed to find any report
made by General Sherman. He called
n some of the oldest clerks of the
department, but they, too. were un
able to remember anything of the
kind. Lady Banff insisted that It
was there, declaring that when sire
was a girl she had -isited the War
Department and had seen it.
Colonel Heistand said that he
would make a further investigation,
and that he would notify the visitors,
who are living in Washington, in
ijJixth street northwest.
This couple has been living in
Washington for some time and has
on several occasions been prominent
In the news. The man claims the

to the earldom of Finlater, Scotland.
He is a graduate of three universities
— Princeton. Columbia, and West

beauty, it is understood.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—Two of
the worst cases treated by Dr. Fred

physician, on his visit here have been

ers have shown such improvement,

two patients who it is claimed have
been cured are Philip Chase, aged 6,
of No. 2114 Fourteenth street south

No. 3221 Reservoir street northwest.
Each of these children was treated

Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens
Beautifully and Takes Off
Dandruff.
Almost everyone knows that
Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly
compounded, brings back’ the nat
ural color and luster to the nair
when faded, streaked or gray; also
cures dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the
only way to get this mixture was to
make it at home, which' is mussy
and troublesome.
Nowadays skilled chemists do
this better than ourselves. By ask
ing at any drug store for the
ready-to-use product—called “Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy”—you will get a large bottle for
about 50 cents. Some druggists j
make their own, but it’s usually s
too sticky, v so insist upon getting J
“Wyeth's,” which can be depended j
upon to restore natural color and t
beauty, to the hair, and is the best ■
remedy for dandruff, dry, feverish,
Itchy scalp and to stop falling hair.
Folks like "Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur” because no one can pos
sibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly, says a well-known down
town druggist. You dampen a
sponge or soft brush and draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. This requires
but a few* moments, by morning the
gray hair disappears and after an
other application or two is re
stored to its natural color and looks
even more beautiful and glossy than
ever.
