Cool, Masterful Pose He Assumed

Extradition From New Hamp

Counsel Retained for Struggle.
COLEBROOK, N. H.. Sept. 13.—
Harry Thaw, far from maintaining
the cool, masterful poae that he af
fected when he began hlv tight against i
returning to Matteawan, la 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. He had no
means of making good the escape for
which his freedom gave him oppor
tunity. And the panic neems to have
remained with him.
Here In the hotel where he remains
under guard. Thaw Insists that the i
officers sleep just outside the door.
The presence of Jerome fills him with
terror.
Added reaaon was given to his fear
when requisition papers calling for
his extradition from New Hampshire j
to New York State were approved by !
Acting Governor Glynn, of New York, j
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
i aim, In which he plans to continue
his fight against return to New York
soli. He announced to-day that he
h&e employed a retinue of lawyers to
conduct his fight here, and that he
keeps In touch with his advocates In j
Canada, who are endeavoring to ob- j
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 hip 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 he-
llef that he would obtain Justice. Now
be Is disgruntled.
*'I hope to get a better variety of
Justice under the Stars and Stripes,"
he said to-day. 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 immi
gratlon 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-
nessed 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,

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—"There are
many ways In which I could help Har-
i ry, Just as 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 Kvelyn Nsbit 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 1 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’ uni.il
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 l
will never give any assistance to Har
ry until he 6ends for me as his wife.’
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-
\ ■ r»"
"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 ?”
"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

The fight, transferred from Canada
to New Hampshire, will take on a
slightly different aspect. Jerome an l
his allies will attempt to obtain
Thaw’s return to New York on a
warrant charging him with conspir

criminal charge. Thaw’s lawyers will t
attempt to offset this with the argil- i

Thaw Evolves Another
Handmade Interview
COLEBROOK. N. H Sept. 13.—
For the first time In nearly a week,
the special correspondent of The
Georgian was able to-day to obtain
an interview with Thaw. The ques
tions and answers were all written by
Thaw himself.
Q. Why do you suppose such un
usual methods, special trains, etc.
are used in pursuit of you?—A. We
supposed it was part of the tender
care with which a few New York offi
cials 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 had
no 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
harm.
<4- Mr. Gerry is not concerned in
I this?—A. Not the least, the control
i 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 Oleott testified that Mr.
Xicholl 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 his
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 be com
pletely concealed like the names of
Messrs. Blank and Blank.
Q. Didn’t your lawyer speak of this
last summer?—A. Yes; he explained
that influential gentlemen fiom the
j beginning wanted to pretend 1 was
i insane to keep these facts from com-
1 tng out.
Q. Didn't Jerome himself say the
same thing to the Jury that acquitted
you?—A. Jerome said, "la there any
thing strange that these people should
I wish that these things should not
! come out?”
Q It has been said that you as
saulted a man named Robinson when,
i in defiance of the writ of the court
of Kings bench, you were carried out
j of that court’s Jurisdiction?—A. That
i 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
theu*e for safe-keeping during Hie
Civil War. They were referred to
the Wtr Department, where records
are being searched in hope of finding I
the valuables.
Lady Banff, who acted as sopkes- f
man, told a dramatic story of how the
jewels were sent to the Treasury by
General W. T. Sherman from a con-
v< ut In Columbia, S. C. A record, »he
I said, was sent to the War I>epart-
, rnent.
During the war, according to f he
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 hid the valuables under
the floor of the Ursulian Convent
there.
Nuns Revealed Hiding Place.
When General Sherman arrived in
Columbia, he set tire t<- the convent,
and the nuns, 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,
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. Heistand. 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
wanted 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 she
vvas a girl she had visited 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
Sixth street northwest..
This couple has been living In
i 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
| Fin la ter Ogllvle, Lord Banff and heir
to the earldom of Flnlater, Scotland.
I He is a graduate of three universities
i —Princeton, Columbia, and West
Virginia. Lady Banff was a Southern
j beauty, It Is understood.

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 Lake Cushman after a loi\d of
logs. The cougar, whose length Is
estimated at ten feet, paid little at
tention to the engine and loped along
for about 600 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
Seattle. Only a few hundred yards
away Is the caing» of Government
cruisers Dennie Ahl and G. Hutton,
who took up the chase. Other old-
tfine 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.

HASTINGS, MICH., Sept. 13.—
Professor J. C. Lamson, of Nevada,
Iowa, one of the most prominent lead
ers of tlie Seventh Day Adventists,
condemned the tendencies In modern
life which, he said, threaten to de

Though the proft ssor had for hls

how he classed the Progressives.
The class of professors in # Ameri
can universities and colleges and
others who are joining them in at

commit the Government to religious

Governor Feeds His
Guests Sparrow Pie
New Dish Tasting Like Squab and
Reed Bird Meets With Instant
Success.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Sept. 13.—
Governor Cox is introducing sparrow
pie to hls guests, and the gastro
nomic offering is popular. Besides
being savory and satisfying, it tends
to the solution of the problem of the
high cost of living.
The dish was introduced in Co
lumbus by Paul Meeker, formerly In
politics, now a broker. He lives In
Bexley, a Columbus suburb. Recent-'
ly he made a self-operating trap, In
which he can obtain a supply for a
company dinner in a few hours.
The pie was good and Governor
Cox decided to introduce It in the
Gubernatorial Mansion. His guests
thought it a pie of squabs and reed
birds until informed. Sparrow trap
making has become a serious busi
ness since the feast.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13—Two of
the worst cases treated by Dr. Fred
erick Friedmann, the noted German
physician, on hls 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. Tne
tw r o patients who It 1b claimed have
been cured are Philip Chase, aged 6,
j of No. 2114 Fourteenth street south
east, and Edith Strauser, aged 7, of
No. 3221 Reservoir street northwest.
Each of these children was treated
once by Dr. Friedmann. The Chase
boy was taken to the George Wash
ington Hospital, barely able to limp
on hls crutches. Yesterday he was
running around like any normal boy.
Hls 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 think
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
, in bed for eight months. During those
whole eight months she was in agonv.
| Not a muscle could she stir, she was
so weak. To-day she Is able to play
1 with the other children In the neigh-
i borhood, although I believe she would
; still be better If she could get just one
I 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
annoyed the little gi 1 before she went
to the German physician, has not to
tally disappeared, according to the
mother.
VENICE, CAL.. Sept. 18.—49. N.
Reppert, formerly a motorcycle offlear
in the Venice police department, bat

while he was dragged about by an
albicore which he nad succeeded In
hooking. A» he was pulling in the
fish, which weighed close to 60 pounds,
Reppert’s leg became entangled In the
line and he went overboard headfirst.
Reppert would not drop the line,
for it was hls intention to land the
big fish. The albicore made a eweep
to the surface and Jumped clear of
the waves. The next moment the fish
vvas on a course for the bottom with
Reppert In tow.
A companion flnallv cut the line
and permitted the albicore to con

men who confessed to the police that
the supposed celestial visitor was
1 composed of 60 pounds of dynamite
and a quantity of copper slag. The
"meteor.” which was reported to have
fallen in the Seaconnet River, was
accompanied by a blinding light and
a deafening crash. Two fishermen
later found In their nets a heavy
piece of metal which was declared
to be the fallen "meteor.” The fish
ermen put their find on exhibition,
and did a profitable business.
The police began an Investigation,
which resulted in the confession of
two young men that they had taken
the dynamite and exploded it behind

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 nalr
when faded, streaked or gray; also i
cures dandruff, itching scalp and
stops falling hair. Years ago the '
only way to get this mixture was to
tnake 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 60 cents. Some druggists
make their own, but It’s usually
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 h
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.
