1 THAW HERE-IN MOVIES; VIEWS OF FUGITIVE IN CANADIAN JAIL
% yz
Her© is Harry K. Thaw as he looks
In our midst to-day—in the movies.
The four poses of Stanford
White's slayer and one of New York’s
greatest little publicity providers are
taken from moving pictures of
Thaw’s arrest and fight "for liberty in
Canada.
They are all typical Thaw poses,
taken in jail. In one he is shown
reading a letter from his mother,
Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw. During!
his imprisonment in a Canadian j
prison Thaw heard from his mother ’
and sister almost every day, and de- j
dared that his happiest moments j
were when he was reading one of!
their letters.
In another pose Thaw is shown
writing an interview with himself.
Thaw, all during Ms recent troubles,
thirsted for publicity with an un
quenchable thirst, and was never too
busy to talk to newspaper men. Many
of the interviews in which he out
lined his plans were written by him
self in his cell, and scattered with
a lavish hand.
Thaw is shown eating a prison
meal in the third photograph. Corn
on the cob has always been a fa
vorite dish of the erratic young mil
lionaire, and he told the moving pic
ture men he liked to pose as shown
above better than doing anything
else.
Thaw in a meditative mood Is
shown in the final picture, smoking
the pipe he uses almost onst ntly.
He is said to have carried the same
pipe in his pocket on the night he
shot and killed Stanford White.
A private exhibition of the pictures
showing Thaw in Canada was given
at the Grand yesterday, Manager
Cardoza and his assistants looking
them over.

Boys in Gray Accompany Them to
Chattanooga—Northern Dele
gation Entertained Here.
More than a score of members of
Mitchell Post, Grand Army of the Re
public, left Atlanta In a special ear
Monday morning to attend the re
union of the Union veterans at Chat
tanooga this week. They were head
ed by Colonel W. M. Scott, past vice
commander-in-chief. A number of
Cotton Forgeries
Made Impossible
Charles S. Haight, representing the
Liverpool Dill of Lading Conference
Committee, announces that European
cotton interests have taken final ac
tion toward the permanent organisa
tion of the Cotton Bills of Lading
Central Bureau and the uniform and
permanent use of that bureau for the
protection of the cotton trade against
forged documents.
Mr. Haight fays:
“The practicability and the effici
ency of the Central Bureau have been
demonstrated during the past two
years. The co-operation of the cot
ton carrying railroads has been
unanimous, 116 roads having signed
the agreement with the Liverpool Bill
of Lading Committee and the Ameri
can Bankers’ Association.
“The Central Bureau will be run
hereafter at . the expense of the for
eign interests.”
Atlanta Confederate veterans also
made the trip with their Union com
rades, and expect to spend several
days at (“Be reunion, mingling with
their former foes and reviving old in
cidents of the Civil War.
The first delegation of the hundreds
of Northern soldiers who ar expected
to visit the battlefields of Atlanta
during the reunion came to Atlanta
Sunday and spent the day visiting the
scenes of the desperate buttles be
tween Sherman and Hood. They were
100 veterans and their wives from
Boston, en route to Chattanooga.
Houser to Invite All “Yanks.”
Other delegations are expected dur
ing the week, and it is thought that
probably half of the men who are at
tending the Chattanooga gathering
will visiit Atlanta before the reunion
is closed. Fred Houser, of the At
lanta convention bureau, expects to
go to Chattanooga to-day or to-mor
row and will extend an Invitation to
everv Northern veteran to come to
Atlanta and visit the old battlefields
and points of interest In the city.
The TOO Boston veterans were met
at the Union Station Sunday morning
by local Grand Army and Confederate

“Gasoline Week” Will Be Inaugu
rated in November as Annual
Event—Sousa To Be Here,
Atlanta's annual Gasoline Week;
promises to be as'bjg an advertise
ment for the city every autumn as
grand opera week is In the spring. It
will be Inaugurated in November with
the automobile show and the mo* r
races at the new autodrome out
Peadhtree road.
Now that the Chamber of Com
merce has indorsed the motor show
and races and is “’ding its support
to both, the committees of the auto
mobile association are working to
make the show the best ever. Space
has been taken by all the leading
manufacturers, and practically every
car made in America will be repre
sented.
One of the features this year will
be the music. Sousa's Band has been
engaged for the v eek. Sousa was the
great hit of the Atlanta Exposition
years ago, and when he brought his
band for a short *tay at the Grand
several seasons past he drew two big
audiences.
Special rates have been granted on
all the railroads running into At
lanta, and the auto association mem
bers expect more visitors than ever
before. Dealers and agents will see
the new 1914 models for the first time
at the show, and owners and pros
pective purchasers may’ look over
competing lines, study the “works
and make up their minds where to
put their money.
Wiley West, one of the leaders in
the association, will leave soon for
Detroit as a delegate to the National
Good Roads Convention, with the de
termination to land next year's meet
ing for Atlanta. If .the convention is
won, it probably will be held simul
taneously with the 1914 auto show
and motordrome races.
