Ready to Aid Defense
If Called In.
New York, Sept 10.—Former Assls
tent Dietrlet Attorney Oeborne returned
from Europe on the Atlantic transport
' liner Mfnneapolfe today and announced
that he would defend Harry K. Thaw
' when he eame to trial ahould the prls
oner's present counsel call him Into
the case.
"No one lias communicated with me
on the matter thus far," said Mr. Os
borne, "but I am prepared to make the
' defense In the case."
The greatest mystery was today
thrown about the visit to Harry K.
. Thaw In the Tombs of the Rev. Dr.
. Francis L. Patton, head of the Prlnce-
i ton Theological Seminary, and former
ly president of the University.
• Dr. Patton railed at the prison while
Mrs. Evelyn Nesblt Thaw was visiting
her husband. The clergyman's visit
hod been expected, and after he had a
talk with Thaw In the presence of the
. prisoner's wife, the latter came down
stairs with Dr. Patton and the two
drove In Mrs. Thaw's electric hansom
to the offices of Clifford W. Hartrldge,
Thaw’s counsel.
Neither Dr. Patton himself nor Mrs.
Thaw, nor Attorney Hartrldge, would
explain what the purpose of the clergy
man's visit to the Tombs was. They
nil admitted It was of considerable sig
nificance, but resolutely refused to ex
plain Its Import.

New York. Bept. 10.—Conjecture was
being made by the friends of Harry
Thaw, today upon the probable effect of
an appeal by his counsel, Clifford W.
Hartrldge, to Governor Higgins,
compel the district attorney to expedite
the business of his office so as to
bring Thaw to trial without further
undue delay.
Thaw fears that at least live or six

a jury, unless the district attorney
moves with more celerity than he has
recently.

IRE CHIEF JOYNER

Chicago, Bept. 10,—The following
copyright ruble has been received by
The Tribune:
"Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 10.—Paul
O. Htensland passed a quiet Sunday,
but hla custodians got Into trouble
with the Moorish government. Stens-
land suffered last night for lack of air
and thin morning his old bronchial
trouble developed. We broke open the
Htalrway In hla prison, locked up by
the chief of artillery, and moved the
prisoner to a flat roof where he en
joyed the sunshine and ozone from Ilia
sea.
"The Moorish guards, however, re
ported to the pasha what had been
done. The pasha kicked to Minister
of Foreign Affairs Torres, who In turn
lodger a complaint with the American
legation, saying that If Htensland was
not returned to a barred prison the
Moorish guard would be withdrawn.
"The roof garden was closed Itnmedl
ately and Stensland spent the morning
with us moralising on the various Chi
cago banks. Some, doubtless, would
have been Interested In Ills discourse.
“Stensland's Idea of a modern bank
Is one run by a hired president who
could be kicked out by the directors If
anything goes wrong.”

Hot Contest Is on to Suc

Chief W. R. Joyner, now mayor-ilect,
after 21 years of active service, will
resign his position as head of the At
lanta Are department October 1, or
as near to that date as convenient to
the city council.
After Chief Joyner resigns the city
council will elect another chief. This
will be done at the first session of the
city fathers In October.
"Who will be the next chief?" Is the
question.
Assistant Chief Henry P. Huyne and
lloseman William B. Cummings are
the two candidates for the position.
Both candidates have been wot king
since Chief Joyner Arst annnounced
that he would enter the mayoralty race.
Both candidates claim the majority ot
counctlmanlc votes. i
Many rumors are afloat as to which
will get the position.
Chief Joyner states that he will not
throw hla Influence either way and Is
mum" as to which will succeed him.
It Is evident that the city council Is
divided among Itself to no little degree.
Which Bide will be the stronger con not
he snld. It Is claimed that what Is
known In political circles as "the Eng
lish faction” la buck of Cummings,
while Huyne Is backed by the opposi
tion.
This matter has, up to the present
time, been exceedingly quiet, but from
now on will be a lively political topic.
Both men have served the lire de
partment In nearly every capacity up
to chief. Mr. Hayne has held the posi
tion of assistant chief for some time
and Mr. Cummings was naslatnnt chief
before he resigned several yeurs ago.
He re-entered the department about
eight months ago us hoaeman.

eleven district agricultural colleges In
the state. Electricity may also form a
feature of the curriculum If the
Gainesville Idea Is carried out.
From a statement given out by As
sistant State School Commissioner
John N. Rogers Monday, It would seem
that man? of the congressional district
agricultural colleges wfll take on
wider scope than ha* heretofore been
contemplated.
Professor Rogers attended the mass
meeting in Gainesville Saturday, to se
cure the necesaary land and funds with
which to secure the college for the
ninth district.
One man offered 800 acres of land,
for which he recently refused 28,000
cash. Another, offered 171 seres, with
good water power and a mill site there
on, It being proposed to add a textile
department to the school and Install
an electric llg.it plant therein.
There Is not a district .in the state
but that could offer flpport unities
along (he same line for* textile and
