BACK TO MATTEAWAN
JUDGE MILLS STILL HOLDS
THAW INSANE.
Deluslons - Thaw Will Garry
Case to Court of Appeals.

White Plains, n. Y.-Harry X Thaw's
latest attempt to gain his liberty met
with complete defeat Thursday, when
Supreme Court Justice Isaac n. Mills
dismissed the writ of habeas corpus and
declared that ''the release of the petit
toner would be dangerous to the public
peace and safety"
There is no crumb of comfort for Thaw
in the 7,000-word opinion handed down
by Justice Mills. All the contentious of
his old adversary, District Attorney
Jerome, are supported, and it is declared
that Thaw is still insane, still suffering
from persistent delusions, and still as
much paranoiac as on the day he shot
Stanford White.
Thaw, waiting at the White Plains jail
at the rear of the court house where the
decision was filed, received the news with
an outward calmness, which appeared,
however, more forced than real. The
members of his family and his attorney
seemed stunned by the thoroughness of
their defeat. Thaw declined to give out
any extended statement, contenting him
self with the assertion that he was not
disheartened, and would at once con-
tinue his fight for liberty.
my next Efforts" he said, twill be
conferred upon the court of appeals,
through which expect to secure hear
ing before jury in my effort to have
my commitment to Matteawan set
aside"

FULLER BILL IS PASSED
MOST DRASTIC PROHIBITION
MEASURE EVER DRAWN.
Forbids Newspapers Carrying Ad-
vertisements-Can' Even Use
Word Saloon"

Montgomery, Ala.-By a vote of As
to 81, the house Friday passed the Fuller
BILL said to be the most radical prohi-
bition measure ever drawn. When Mr..
Fuller called up the bill he produced a
number of amendments. Mr.. Fuller
said that he had added to the prohibited
advertisements all pictures of bottles
purporting to contain liquor of breweries
or distilleries.
Another amendment was to allow Ii
censed physicians of towns where there
are no regular licensed pharmacists to
dispense alcohol, as provided in the laws
of the state. Another change makes UNI
equivocal the right to destroy liquors
seized, when held in violation of the
law.
An important addition was to make
prima facie evidence of guilt if liquors
alleged to have been sold have the like
color, odor or taste of prohibited liquors.
The chief fight was made on that sec
tion prohibiting newspapers from pub
fishing liquor advertising.
Mr.. Sanford of Talladego precipitated
general debate with an amendment to
strike out this clause
In answer to the question of Mr.. San
ford, Mr.. Fuller replied:
Eyes, the bill will prohibit the sale of
any newspaper publication printed in
tais state, or another state as well,
which contains such liquor advertise
ments."
The Sanford amendment was defeated
and the bill as amended by Mr.. Fuller

COTTON DOING BETTER
EAST oFTHE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
REPORTS ARE GOOD.
Prospective Yield Better Than Was
at One Time Thought Possible.
Marked Improvement Seen

Memphis, Tenn.-In practically all Of
the territory east of the Mississippi
river there was a marked improvement
in the condition of the cotton crop. The
showers that fell were moderate and
beneficial. The plant is small and still
late, but is growing nicely and is well
fruited for its size. Many correspond
ents note that the prospective yield is
better than was at one time thought
possible. In this territory conditions are
best in Georgia and South Carolina and
poorest in Mississippi.
Rainfall was scattered and deficient in
Arkansas and Oklahoma. There are sec.
tions where no rain has fallen in five OF
six weeks, and the plant is shedding;
but while this is true other sections OF
these States have had rain and prospects
are fair.
Rains in Texas were frequent and
rather general during the week. The
crop is on the road to improvement, and
if these rains are supplemented during
the coming weeks by further precipita-
tion, the crop outlook will improve ma
terially.
Rains have retarded opening of the
hollis and as the plant is growing rapidly,
picking will not become general for fully
two weeks yet
Rainfall through August has been
light in Tennessee Scattered local
showers full during the week, but af-
forded only partial relief. The cotton
is in good condition, but needs rain.
