COLEBROOK, N H. Sept. 13 — |
Harry Thav . far from maintaining
cool, masterful p<
th
that he af- |
ferted when he began Mm fight against
returning to Matteawan, is living In
a !*tate 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 mrtking good the escape for
which his freedom gave him oppor
tunity. And the panic S'»mi to have
renfalned 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 i
terror.
Added reason was given to his fear
when requleition papers calling for
his extradition from New Ham pah ire
to New York State were approved by
Acting Governor Glynn, of New York,
at the request of the authorities of
Dutchess County. The paper* 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
ha* 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 Officers.
Also. In these momenta of logical
behavior. Thaw is loudly Indignant In
hi* 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 hi* 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 to-day. In talking of his plans*
to fight agalnpt returning to New
York.
Oddly enough. Thaw und his ene
mies are of a single mind In denounc
ing the action of the Canadian Imml
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-
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 official!*.

Professor Lamson Says Colleges
Threaten to Destroy Foundations
of the Government.
HASTINGS, MICH., Sept. 13.—
Profess'*- J. C. Lamson, of Nevada,
Iowa, one of the most prominent lead
ers of the Seventh Day Adventists,
condemned the tendencies in modern
life which, he said, threaten to de
stroy our constitutional government.
Though the professor had for his
topic "Apostates From Republican
ism,” he failed to attack any par
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
tempting to overthrow the Constitu-
in Its present form were de-
tary McAdoo. and told him the story, j t" e(J at leng;h by Professor Lam _
son. Such tendencies, he said, would

The light, transferred from C’anad i
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-
nent that Thaw being Insane In the
yes of New York authorities, could
not conspire, in the sense of the law.

With the time for the hearing at
hand. Thaw finds himself among a
people who are not neatly so uni
versal In their admiration of him as
were the Canadians. There are ele
ments nmong the populace who are
emphatically favorable toward hts
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 l«
signtfleant In this matter, but that
opinion ha" been a spectacular fact< t
in the case so far, and probably will
continue so. The Monadnock House,
the hotel where he Is held, has be
come a public debating held, its lobby
being crowded with men for Thaw
and against Thaw.
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, _ - yy,
until about ten years ago. when L : (inirpVRn'F r PPft SI H 1S

story, asking him to let them look at

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 name*
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
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
• »ne reason may be a desire to keep
hidden a curious relation between a
lawyer who acted ajs 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. Mi. Garry 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.
Nlcholl was counsel for Mr. White’s
associates, as well as for Mr White
q. That he was counsel for Messrs,
j 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 jour lawyer speak of this
; last summer?—A. Yes; he explained
■ that influential gentlemen fiom the
j 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 said, "Is 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,
in defiance of the writ of the court
of Kinas bench, you were carried out
of that court's Jurisdiction?—A. That

department, but they, too, were un
able to remember anything of the
kind. Lady Banff insisted that it
was there, declaring that when she
was a girl she had visited the War
Department and had seen it.
Colonel Heiscand said that he
would make a further investigation,
and that he would notify the visitors,
who are living in Washington, in
, Sixth street northwest.

TIVERTON, R. I. Sept. 13.—The
Tiverton meteor of August 27 was
to-day removed from the realm ot
natural phenomena by two young
men who confessed to the police that
the supposed celestial visitor was
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 wad 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
Gould’s Island in order to cause a
sensation.
BUTTE. MONT., Sept. IS.—Miss
Della Clark, tripping down Wyoming j
street in the bright glare of the noon i

Almost everyone know* that
