congratulations and those Of the citi-

battleships. Their behavior, the mayor
said, had been most exemplary and
reflected the highest credit on the
fleet. Inasnuch as the visit OF the
fleet is drawing to a close, shore leave
was given to as many Of the enlisted
men as it was possible to spare from
the ships today. Hundreds of them
were again taken to visit nearby points
of interest and later were entertained
at luncheon, while others preferred to
promenade through the heart of the
city and attend the theaters. Several

FREEDOM FOR THAW
Looms Up Ahead in Convenient Bank.
ruptcy Proceedings.

New York, Aug. 3.-That Harry ThaW
will be free within a month is the
opinion of prominent New York law
yers. Eugene Philbin, former district
attorney. said today:
"Thcre is no doubt that once ThaW
stems foot outside of New York State
he will be a free man. or. if not &C
tua1lV free. can be made so by a writ
of habcas corpus. Harry Thaw was
not convicted of any crime. He was
acquitted on the ground of insanity
Judge Bowling, believing it to be for
the good Of the state, committed ThaW
to Matteawan This commitment is
legal only in New York.
IF the federal authorities demand
Thaw's presence at the bankruptcy
have Thaw in custody have no other
course than to produce him. once
across the river and in New Jersey he
would be legally free and as long as
he kept out of the state of New York
he would have no fear of imprison-
mcnt"
John f. Mcintyre, a leading lawyer
of the criminal bar, said that once
outside of the state Harry Thaw would
be free as any citizen.
because Thaw was committed to an
insane asylum does not necessarily
prove that in any other state he would
not be legally sane until proved other
wise and until his sanity was pass
ed upon by a competent commission he
would have every right under the law
of sane and innocent man.
"a commitment in this state has nc
extra territorial force and once out
side of the state Thaw would be a
free man. Any judge outside of New
York must discharge him on the
grounds that he Is illegally held. In
my opinion If Thaw is taken outside
New York state he can never be
brought back"
