Extradition From New Hamp-j

i‘OLKEROOK, N. H . 8«pt. IS.—
Harry Thaw, far from maintaining
the cool, masterful pose that he af
fected when he began hln tight against
returning to Matteawan, 1h living In
a ptate 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
menu* of making good the escape for
nhich his freedom gave him oppor
tunity. And the panic seems to have i
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 tills him with I
terror.
Added reason was giveti to his fear
when requisition papers calling for ,
his extradition from New Hampahire j
to New' York State were approved by * 1
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 lawyers to
conduct his fight here, and that he
keeps in touch with his advocates in
Canada, who are endeavoring to ob
tain his legal return to Canadian soli
Scores Immigration Officers.
Also, in these momenta of logical
behavior, Thaw Is loudly Indignant in
his attack on Canadian authorities
for arbitrarily hustling him over the
border. He and hie lawyers charge
th/it 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 Us 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 «ald 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 mind in donoune-
the action of the Canadian Immi
gration authorities. Jerome and his
allies who have been pursuing Thaw
are not yet over the fright they re
ceived w’hen they found the fugitive
had been released. For three hours
they scoured the countryside, ob-
sneased 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.

The tight, transferred from Canada
to New Hampshire, will take on a
slightly different aspect. Jerome and

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 j
attempt to offset this with the argu

over thv ett bbernneas of Thaw’s
fight. and immediately upon his ar
rival he sought audiences with Gov

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 himself among n
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

continue so. The Monadnock House,

Thaw Evolves Another
Handmade Interview
1 W A/S c
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
• are 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 uow we are
>ound not to.
Q. Then why this persistent chase
' .it 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
ate 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
klold that this secret has done us much
" harm.
<4. Mr. Ge*ry is not concerned in
I this?—A. Not the least; the control
j of that society was taken from the
i excellent Commodore long ago.
Q. Did Judge Olcott testify some
I thing about this last summer?—A
i Yes Judge Olcott testified that Mr.
j Nicholl was counsel for Mr. White's
associates, as well as for Mr White
Q. That be whs counsel for Messrs.
Blank and Blank?—A. Yes; and his
firm also Is counsel for the children's
society.
Q llow many people know this?—
\ That is the trouble. A great man>
people know it, so it can't be com
pletelv concealed like the names ol
Messrs Blank and Blank.
<y. Didn’t your lawyer speak of this
last summer?—A. Yes; he explaineo
that influential gentlemen ftom the
beginning wanted to pretend 1 was
insane to keep these facts from com
ing out
Didn’t Jerome himself say the
same thing to the jury that acquitted
j 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-
i vaulted a man named Robinson when,
I in defiance of the writ of the court

NEW YORK. “Sept. 13.—“There are
many ways in which I could help Har
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 Evelyn Nsblt Thaw aftr she
was a.^ked 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 l
will never give any assistance to Har
ry until he sends 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
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 ?”
"I will not discuss that with any
one." was Mrs. Thaw’s answer. "I
will say that I stand ready to help
film in a way he knows. But he re
fuses to ask me. Rut let Harry send
me the proper message and I will
show’ the world that 1 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.

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
Civil War. They were referred to
the Wtr Department, where records
are being searched in hope of finding
the valuables.
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. 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 Fed era la 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 »n
Columbia, he set lire 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 k 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 Colohel 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 Rind 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
was 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, ip
Sixth street northwest.
This couple has been living in
Washington for some time and has
I on several occasions been prominent
in the news. The man claims the
• itie of the Rt. Hon. Robert Walter
Finlater Ogilvie, Lord Banff and heir
to the earldom of Finlater, Scotland.
He is a graduate of three universities
— Princeton, Columbia, and We§t
Virginia. Lady Banff was a Southern
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 load of
logs. The cougar, whose length is
estimated at ten feet, paid little at- I
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
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.

Crippled Boy Treated With Serum
Now Running About Streets
of Washington.
WASHINGTON,. Sept. 13.—Two of
the worst cases treated by Dr. Fred
erick Friedmann, the noted German
physician, on his 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
tw’O patients who it is claimed have
been cured are Philip Chase, aged 6,
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 his crutches. Yesterday he was
running around like any normal boy.
His father claims that the lad is
cured, and givtfs 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
In bed for eight months. During those
whole eight months she was in agony.
Not a muscle could she stir, she was
so weak. To-day she Is able to play
with the other children in the neigh
borhood, although 1 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
annoyed the little gi 1 before she Went
