Montgomery. Mo-, Aug 13--Rev.
r. r. McQuie. a Baptist minister re-

"In company with some of the old

the Boon graveyard near Marthas-

place Of Daniel Boon, and after gath
erlng all the information possible rel

body of Daniel Boon was never re-
moved to Kentucky, but that the men
who went out from Kentucky to re-
move the remains being strangers and
there being no tombstone to mark the
graves Of those who slept In the old
cemetery, made a mistake and took
up the remains Of a stranger who was
buried near the grave OF Mr. Boon.
Daniel Boon and his wife were not
buried side by side, hence the mis-
take"

STATES
COURTS MAY
FREE THAW
BANKRUPTCY PETITION
SHREWD PROCEEDING
Once Outside New York in Re-
sponSe to Federal Summons
State Authorities Would
Have No Hold ON Him.

New York. Aug. 13.--That Harry
Thaw will be free within a month is
the opinion of prominent New York
lawyers. Eugene Philbin, former
district attorney, said today:
"There is no doubt that once Thaw
sets foot outside of New York state,
he will be a free man, if not free, he
can be made so by a writ of habeas
corpus. 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.
The commitment is legal only in New
York If the federal authorities de-
mand Thaw's presence at the bank
ruptcy proceedings in Pittsburg. those
who have Thaw in custody have no
other course than to produce him.
The service of subpoena on Thaw
or on the New York authorities would
require his keepers to turn him over
to United states marshall, who
would take him to Pittsburg. Once
across the river and in New Jersey, he
would be legally free and as long as
he is kept out of the state of New
York he would have no fear of inn
pris~nment."
John f, Mcintyre, a leading lawyer
of the criminal bar, said:
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 9TH
erwise, and until his sanity was pass
ed upon by competent commission
he would have every right under the
law of a sane and innocent man.
THE legality. Of the statute under
which Thaw was sent to an insane
asylum has never been tested in this
state. / believe that Thaws asking
for bankrupteas proceedings shows
good, soand4 se;lsdnihgF and is an tn
dication of perfect BALANCE of mind.
"A commitment in this state has
no extra territorial force and once
outside of the state Thaw would be
a free man. Any Judge outside Of
New York must discharge him on the
ground that he is illegally retained .

HUGHES TALKS
TO SUMMER SCHOLARS

Cliffhaven, N. Y, Aug. 13.-Gov-
|ernor Hughes was given an enthusiasts
tic reception on his visit today to the
Catholic summer school at Cliffhaven.
The president of the school, DR.. John
Talbot Smith, introduced the govern
or concluding with expression of the
wish that when next year Lake
Champlain celebrates the tercentenary
'of its discovery and we have Samuel
De Champlain landing in the bay of
.Clihhaven, that it will be Governor
Hughes of New York who will still
represent our great state"
Governor Hughes said: "These sum-
.mer assemblies with their just pro-
portion Of wholesome pleasure and
intellectual activity, with exercises,
with field sports, with the inquiries
of science and the delights of litera-
ture, are striking indication of the
Unsuitable yearning of the American
heart. The American people are IDEAL
lists. The man who goes about pic
turing our communities as filled with
men having no higher ideal than the
amassing of wealth, thinking only of
selfish enjoyment, utters the basest
libel upon the American people. If
we can only keep the successful men,
the leader in business, in politics or
in any of the activities of our great
life. true to the sentiments of the
heart of the average American, we
should have less cause for alarm.
THE American people are full of
zeal for good things, good ideals of
their fathers are still cherished in
their hearts, the spirit of liberty and
the desire to maintain the incorrupti-
bility of their institutions is just as
today, if the sense of the
times is truly real as in the days of
'76."

Oyster Bay, ~ Y, Aug. 13.-The
net result of todays political confer
ence at Sycamore Hill between Presi-
dent Roosevelt, three members of the
republican state executive committee
and Congressman w. w. Cocks is that
the situation in regard to the COVER
norship nomination remains practical
ly unchanged. One of the participants
in the conference informed the Asso-
ciated Press that no decision what
ever was reached by the president and
his conferees as to the selection'of the
man to be nominated at the republi-
can state convention at Saratoga next
month to head the republican ticket in
New York state at the election next
fall or as to any other matter. So far
as it is possible to learn President
Roosevelt approves of leaving the
question of Govednor Hughes renomi-
nation open until the convention
meets and let the delegates themselves
decide the matter.
Herbert Parsons, president of the
New York county committee; William
Barnes Jr., of Albany, and Francis
Hendricks, of Syracuse the members
of the newly appointed state eXecu-
tive committee which was named by
Chairman Timothy a. Woodruff at the
meeting of the state committee in New
York yesterday were the three per
sons who participated in the confer
ence besides the president and Con-
gresham Cocks.
Their visit to the president today,
following that of yesterday of Senator
John Raines, shows that the president
is carefully watching Governor
Hughes candidacy for denomination,
Committeeman Barnes and Hen
bricks are openly opposed to Governor
Hughes denomination, while Mr.. Par
sons' attitude is aVt definitely known.
County President Parsons is thought
TO have brought with him from New
York the reports received by Chair
man woodruff at the meeting of the
New York state committee yesterday
from the leaders throughout the state
regarding the sentiments of the lead
ers on Governor Hughes.
Messrs. Parsons, Barnes and Hen
dFicks all came from New York byI
automobile. They carefully avoided
newspaper men. Congressman Cocks
drove over from his home in West
bury, l.. /. For three hours they and
President Roosevelt reviewed the en-I
tire state situation. Then Messrs
Parsons, Barnes and Hendricks de-
parted i'm their automobile for New
York again being careful to evade
reporters.
Mr.. Cocks was seen by the Asso-
ciated Press after the conference and
consented to talk about it. He said
that nothing at all had been decided
upon by the president and those who
took part in the discussion.

Pekin, Aug, 13.--The killing in this
city early this month of an army Of
ticer supposed to be a spy and traitor
by Japanese soldiers attached to the
Pekin legation will result in the pre-
sentation of China of formal pro-
test against the doing of police duty
by legation guards outside of the le-
cation precincts.
The officer in question was Captain
Kawakta. He was in the artillery
branch of the Kirosha division and
was formerly an instructor in the
Chinese military college at Pao Ting
Flu He was charged with selling Jap
anese military secrets to a foreign
power and disappeared from Japan
in June. On August / he was discov-
cred disguised as a Chinaman near
the war office in Pekin. This knowl-
edge was communicated to the lega-
ton guards and a detachment was
sent to capture him. He resisted ar
rest, whereupon the guard shot and
wounded the spy and he died two days
later in the hospital of the legation
guard.
The evidence against Captain Kaw-
aklta consists of the following ale
cations: He was in the habit of send
ing large sums of money to his fami-
ly in Toxic; he was under the protec-
ton when captured of Ting Chang, an
attachc of the Judge advocate depart
ment of the Chinese war office he
made use of the name of Ting Chang
and was engaged in tutoring eight
Chinese army officers; six bundles of
documents containing secret informa-
ton relating to the Japanese army
were found in the captains rooms and
conflscated by the legation guard, and,
.lastiy. the eap,aIIs Is said tu have con-
fessed, M. Abe. the Japanese charge
d'affaires, has urged lack of time and
the Importance of the prisoner In ex-
tenuation of the act of the guard in
not notifying the Chinese authorities
before arrestlng the Japanese. He ex-
plains further that the resistance of
the prisoner was Unforeseen and that
his consequent shooting could not be
avoided. The Chinese government is
not satisfied with this explanation and
considers that its authority has been
ignored. The incident has created a
good deal of feeling on both sides.
The Japanese say that China does
not give evidence of proper under
standing of the case and that It was
out of consideration of the Chinese
officials as well as for the military in
terests of Japan and the preservation
of good relations with China that ia
pan disposed of the case as quietly and
rapidly as possible.
China Is proud of her modern met
ropolitan police force, and she Is
jealous Of the police powers exercised
by the foreign states, In the region of
the capital. This condition has pre-
vailed since the Boer war in 1901. The
Chinese government is especially fear
ful of the activity of Japan in this
connection, as there is not less than
5000 Japanese in Pekin. This fric-
ton has been increased by the fact
that the japanese newspapers pub
lished here have refused to conform
to the press regulations.

the throng were many handsomely

great courtesy showed their visitors
every part of the great fighting ma

his congratulations and those of the
citizens of Auckland on the orderly
conduct of the crews of the battle
ships Their behavior, the mayor
said had been most exemplary and
reflected the highest credit on the
feet
Inasmuch as the visit of the fleet
Is drawing to a close, shore leave was
given to as many of the enlisted men
as 1t was possible to spare from the
ships today Hundreds of them were
again taken to yeit nearby towns of
interest and later were entertained at
luncheon while others preferred to
promenade through the heart of the
city and attend the theaters. Several
lmpromptu baseball games were or
ganized and the New Zealanders who
attended these were delighted with
their introduction to the American
national game.
Many of the officers attended prl-
vate social functions during the day.
