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.

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.
