HE Home City Serves Notice to Ap.
pear at Bankruptcy Court.


Fishkill Landing, N. Y, Oct. IA
Harry X. Thaw has again been sum,
moned to Pittsburg to appear in the
bankruptcy proceedings pending In
that city. An order from the federal
court at Pittsburg was served upon
the authorities Of the Matteawan state
hospital for the criminal insane com
handing Thaw to appear in the Penn
sylyania city.
The order is similar to that served
recently upon Sheriff Lane of West,
chester county, which the sheriff de.
clined to honor on the ground that
Thaw was in the custody of the New
York courts. When Sheriff Lane was
called to answer for alleged contempt
before Judge Archibald in Scranton
he was excused because habeas corpus
proceedings had been instituted, and
these were recognized as taking pre-
cedence. Judge Archibald, however,
held that the Jurisdiction of the Unit
ed States courts over Thaw could be
exercised as soon as the habeas cor
pus matter was disposed of. Thaw is
now at Matteawan.

DENIES MISS ELk,Ns IS ENGAGED.
Senator Says There is No Truth In
Numerous Reports.

Pittsburg. Oct. 13.-In an authors
tative statement Monday United
States Senator Stephen B. Elkins of
West Virginia branded as untrue an
alleged interview accredited to his
wife to the effect that there was no
engagement between Miss Katherine
Elkins and the duke OF the Abruzzi.
In an emphatic manner Senator Elkins
said that neither his wife nor himself
could give such interview for the sim
pie reason that it was impossible to
deny something that did not exist.
Senator Elkins talked over the long
distance telephone from Elkins, w.
Va. and was much exercised over the
numerous wild reports, published from
time to time, concerning the alleged
engagements of his daughter to the
Italian nobleman. ~ ~
There is no foundation for the
many reports" he said Neither in
Europe nor In America has any an.
nouncement of an engagement been
made. There is no engagement"

clared that they had appealed to the
New York state court of appeals from
the decision refusing a jury trial and
that until the higher court had given
a decision they would submit no evil
dence on the question of Thaw,s san
ity.
Justice Mills said there was no 9TH
