Cool, Masterful Pose He Assumed
in Canada Disappears When He
Faces Jerome 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.
COLEEROOK, N. H„ Sept. 13
Harry Thaw, far from maintaining
the cool, masterful pom* that he af
fected when he began him 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.
Free for a few hours. Thaw was
thrown into a panic of Indecision. His
plans were disarranged. He had no
means of making good the escape for
which his freedom gave him oppor
tunity. And the panic seems to have
remained with him.
Here In the hotel where he remains
under guard. Thaw insists that the
officers sleep just outside the door.
The presence of Jerome fills 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 Felker, 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 lawyer# to
conduct his fight here, and that he!
keep# In touch with his advocates In
Canada, who are endeavoring to ob
tain his legal return to Canadian soil
Scores Immigration Offioers.
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
basis. 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 that he would obtain Justice. Now
he is disgruntled.
“I hope to get a better variety of
Justice under the Stars and Stripes,"
he said te-dav. In talking of his plana
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 Imml
gratlon authorities. Jerome and his
allies who have been pursuing Thaw
are not yet over the fright they re
reived when they found the fugitive
had been released. For three hours
they scoured the countryside, ob-
nensed by the fear that they would
lose their quarry. And now they are
Indignantly talking of the high-hand
ed action of the immigration official!*.

were bitter In their attack on thos
who sent Thaw across the border fre.
The fight, transferred from Canad a
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
attempt to offset this with the argu
ment that Thaw being insane in the
eyes of New York authorities, could j
not conspire, in the sense of the law. i
Jeromv Grows Impatient.
The fight probably will consume
several days or ft week, that even
If the fugitive loses he will not be
taken to Matteawan before late this
week. Jerome is growing impatient
over thv. rt\ bbcrnnerj of Thaw’s
fight. anJ Immediately upon his ar
rival he sought audiences with Gov
ernor Felker and Attorney General
Tuttle, of New Hampshire, to obtain
from them the promise of no delay in
the hearing.
With the time for the hearing at
hand. Thaw finds liimsvlf among a
people who are not nearly so uni
versal In their admiration of him as
were the Canadians. There are ele
ments among the populace who are
emphatically favorable toward his
suit, It is true, but there are many
New Hampshire men who stoutly
maintain that he has no right to re
main in New Hampshire
Not that the opinion of the public 1*
significant in this matter, but that
opinion has been a spectacular factor

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—"There are
many ways In which I could help Har-
ry, Just aj* I have done before. Some
day he will realize that and come to
me asking for help."
The above statement was made to
day by Evelyn Nshit 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 hls 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. ‘Tie
realizes that I have sacrificed every
thing In the past for hls 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 hls
fight for freedom?"
"Yes, Harry realizes that. But I
will never give any assistance to Har
ry- until he sends for me as hls wife.**
Depends on His Lawyers.
"There are a hundred w-ays 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 hls fight?" Mrs. Thaw was asked.
V * s
"In what way could you help your
husband ?”
"I 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

Thaw Evolves Another
Handmade Interview
COLFBROOK. N H.. Sept. IS.—I
For the first time in nearly a week,
the special correspondent of The
Georgian was able to-day to obtain
iin interview with Thaw. The ques
tions and answers were all written by i
Thaw himself.
Q. Why do you suppose such un
usual methods, special trains, etc. j
are used In pursuit of you?—A. We
supiHJsed It was part of the tender
care with which a few New York offi- !
rials have been shielding the names
of Messrs. Blank and Blank
Q. But in Canada you published a
statement that you and your friends
were forced to declare that you bad
r.o intention of uncovering those
names?—A. Yes. and now we are
bound not to.
Q. Then why this persistent chase
at the cost of the taxpayers of New
York?—A It has been suggested that
one reason may be a desire to keep
hidden a curious relation between a
lawyer who acted as counsel for the
late Mr. White and the Gerry So
ciety.
Q Do you mean the New York So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children?—A. Yes, there was nothing
unprofessional in this, but we are
told that this secret has done us much
barm.
Q. Mr. Gerry is not concerned In
this?—A. Not the least; the control
of that society was taken from the
excellent Commodore long ago.
Q. Did Judge Olcott testify some
thing about this last summer?—A.
Yes; Judge Olcott testified that Mr.
Nicholl was counsel for Mr. White's
associates, as well as for Mr White.
Q. That he was counsel for Messrs.
Blank and Blank?—A. Yes. and hls
firm also Is counsel for the children’s
society.
Q. How many people know- this?—
A That Is the trouble. A great many
people know It, so it can't bo com
pletely concealed like the names of
Messrs. Blank and Blank.
Q. Didn't 5 our lawyer speak of this
last summer?—A. Yes; he explained
that influenzal gentlemen f«um the
beginning wanted to pretend 1 was
insane to keep these facts from com
ing out.
Q Didn’t Jerome himself say the
same thing to the Jury that acquitted
you?—A. Jerome sa.d, “Is there any
thing strange that these people should
wish that these things should not
come out?”
Q. It has been said that you as
saulted a man named Robinson when,
in defiance of the writ of the court
of Kinas bench, you were carried out
of that i ourt's Jurisdiction?—A. That
was an error

MATTEAWAN
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
then*€> for safe-keeping during the
Civil War They were referred to
the Wtr Department, where records
are being searched in hope of finding
the valuables
Lady BanfT, who acted as sopk^s-
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, S. 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 Federals would rob
them of their Jewelry and silver. They
gathered their goods together, made
up a list and hid the valuables under
the floor of the Ursullan Convent
thefe.
Nuns Revealed Hiding Place.
When General Sherman arrived in
Columbia, he set fire t- the convent,
and the nuns, fearing that the \alu-
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 Mc.Adoo, 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,
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 Helstand 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
wanted to recover them.
Unable to Find Report.
Colonel Helstand made an exam
ination, but failed to find any report
made by General Sherman. lie 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 she
v,as a giri she had visited the War
Department and had seen It.
Colonel Helstand said that he
would make a further investigation,
and that he would notify the visitors,
who are living In Washington, in
Sixth 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
itle of the Rt. Hon. Robert Walter
Flnlater Ogtlvie, Lord Banff and heir
to the earldom of Finlater, Scotland.
He is a graduate of three universities
— Princeton, Columbia, and West
Virginia. Lady BanfT w-as a Southern
beauty, it Is understood.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18—Two of
the worst cases treated by Dr. Fred
erlck Friedmann, the noted German
physician, on hie visit here have been
absolutely cured, the sufferers them
selves declare, and a number of oth
ers have shown such Improvement,
they assert, as to warrant the pa
tients' hope of ultimate recovery The
two patients who it Is claimed have
been cured are Philip Chase, aged 6,
of No. 2114 Fourteenth street south
east, and Edith Strsuser, aged 7, of
No. 8221 Reservoir street northwest.
Each of these children was treated
once by Dr. Friedmann. The Chase
boy w r as taken to the George Wash
ington Hospital, barely able to limp
on hls crutches. Yesterday he was
running around like any normal bov.
His father claims that the lad is
cured, and gives all the credit to Dr.
Friedmann.
The mother of little Edith Strauser
yesterday was one of the happiest
women In Washington. "Oh, to thin*
that my little one has been cured!”
she cried. "And that after ten doc
tors had given her up. When I took
her to the hospital for Dr. Fried
mann to operate on her, I did not be
lieve that she had a chance for re
covery. The doctors had told me that
there was no hope. He gave my
daughter only one treatment, and
within five weeks she showed great
improvement. Before I took her to
him she had not been able to move
bed for eight months. During those
hole eight months she was in agonv.
Not a muscle could she stir, she was
so weak. To-day she is able to play
with the other children In the neigh-
Reed Bird Meets With Instant ! borhood, although I believe she would
still be better If she could get Just one
more treatment from Dr. Friedman."
Mrs. Strauser said that since her
daughter had been treated she had
not suffered any pain, where former
ly she was in agony. A cough, which

TURNS IIS NATURAL
AFTER APPLYING SAGE TEA
I Mixed mh Sulphur It Darkens “ fhei5“own. bTirt'XSuiJ
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 cfcemisM 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
too sticky, so insist upon getting
"Wyeth’s," which can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
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.
