THAW CASE SHOWS
NEED Of NEW LAW
New York Lawyers Sugges1
Change in Regulations for
Habeas Corpus

ROCHESTER, n. Y. Jan. 21.-In a
report that scathingly rebuked efforts
TO liberate Harry K. Thaw from the
Matteawan asylum, the special commit
tee on the commitment and discharge
of the criminal insane today recon-
mended to the thirty-third annual
meeting of the New York state bar as
sOcia tion the amendment of the habeas
corpus law.
1t is suggested that the law be so
amended that a person confined in a
private asylum may ask for writ of
habeas corpus at any time and without
supporting affidavits, but that a person
confined in a state hospital for the
criminal insane may make application
for a writ OF habeas corpus only on
petition accompanied by certificate
made under oath by two qualified med
ical examiners in lunacy.
The report continues. in part:
ITO emphasize the need for this rem
edv. reference should be made to
well known case which has been in the
public eye for long, where a murderer,
having escaped the consequences of his
crime by the plea of insanity, is trying
to escape the consequences of his crime
by means of a continuous performance
in habeas corpus.
so forgetful are the murderer's fam
lily Of their duty TO society, the obliga-
tion to uphold the law, that they aid
and abet the plot, and instead of leav-
ing him TO his fate. as it is their duty
as citizens TO do, they claim, forsooth,
that he is an object of persecution.
Among the numerous judges Of the
supreme court of this state the chances
are that there is at least one whose
head is least able to control his heart,
and the only problem in this murder
er's quest for freedom is to discover
who that particular Judge is.
1T is a mere question Of time and
money when this particular murderer
will be set free to direct his homicidal
inclinatfons against some other citizen
who has already fallen, or may here
after come, under his displeasure. And
everything done according to the form
of law"

REFUSES DEPOSIT
OF HALF MILLION
Bank of California Does Not
Care for Municipal Coin
at 2 Per Cent

The Bank of California sent 100000
in gold to the city treasury yesterday
to repay a deposit received October s.
w. r. Pentz of the bank. who delivered
the money to Treasurer MeDougald,
stated as reason for not continuing
to hold the ? per cent loan that the
bank did not care to have the money
on hand
President Frank B. Anderson stated
that the redeposit was Just an ordi-
nary business transaction
The bank paid s2,50D interest to the
city on December 81 and yesterday
added $5S3.35 for interest accrued since
that date. The deposit was the largest
single loan made by the city under the
charter provision and in a year would
have netted $4,000.
A total of s4.46O, ,425 is now on deposit
in 1873 banking institutions throughout
the state upon which the city will re-
ceive about $4,000 in interest during
the year All these deposits are Sc
cured by federal state or municipal
securities. Because of the interest and
requirements of security the Taylor ad-
ministration had difficulty in getting
banks to accept the deposits, which are
made subject to withdrawal on "a
hours notice.
Mayor Mccarthy has expressed the
opinion that the city should get more
than per cent on these deposits, and
it viii, be his duty in conjunction with
the auditor and treasurer to fix the
rate a (which loans will be offered dur
ing the current year. Secretary Nc
Kannay for Mayor Taylor made earnest
effort TO place more of the municipal
bond money where it would earn per
cent, but the banks of the state left
several millions uncalled for
Il was sorry to lose a customer pay
ing the city $4,000 a year" said Treas
urer McDougald yesterday. The state
itself has over s5,000,000 out at per
cent interest under similar terms. Al
though the charter demands that the
city must have on hand the full amount
of all contracts outstanding and cur
rent. our deposits have enabled us to
save the city about $4,000 in interest
yearly
The Metropolis bank made applica-
tion recently for a $780, 900 deposit and
requested McDouga1d to ask the mayor
whether he wished to approve the issu-
ance. The city treasurer informed the
bank that the mayor would have to
take the initiative in the matter under
the charter. And it is now incumbent
upon Mccarthy to fix an interest rate
which will induce the banks to accept
the municipal deposits.

POSTMASTER OF SANTA

Receives Orders TO Take Charge
of New Building
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 21.-Postmaster
Hiram L. Trip has just learned that
his name has been sent to the senate
as an appointee as postmaster for Santa
Rosa for another term of four years.
At the same time he received orders
to assume charge of the new postoffice
and federal building now nearing COM
pletion here and occupy it as soon as
it is finished.
The government is preparing to re-
cefve bids for a large storm sewer
running from the federal building for
nearly a mile TO Santa Rosa creek at
a point west of town.
This action is necessary owing to the
fact that one corner OF the massive
building stands over an old creek bed,
which runs full of water during the
winter season and floods the basement
of the building with the exception of
the engine room, which was water
proofed when built.

apartment a man who said his name
was Frank Crowley. a longshoreman-
Crowley was rushed down into the
street and a call was sent in for a
patrol wagon.
But Crowley declared he was not a
burglar. A domestic employed by Doc
tor Blake substantiated his story.
There was an excited eollOquy on the
sidewalk between the special watchmen
and the apartment house people. They
were satisfied that the man was not a
thief in the night. The people in Pine
street sat in their windows and watched
the plight of the lOngshoreman or his
beat.

the apartment house. I'VE don't want

But with the cubs all is as gay as a

Lille and her unusual family were

How | Made
My Hair Grow

I was greatly troubled with dandruff
and falling hair. / tried many adVer-
tised hair preparations and various
prescriptions, but they all signally
failed; many of them made my hair
greasy so it was impossible to comb
it or do it up properly. l think that
many of the things l tried were posi-
lively injurious and from my own eX-
perience 1 cannot 100 strongly caution
you against using preparations con-
tanning wood alcohol and other poison
Gus substances. L believe they injure
the roots of the hair. After my long
list of failures finally found simple
prescription which 1 can unhesitating--
" state is beyond doubt the most
wonderful thing for the hair l nave
ever seen. Many of my friends have
also used it and obtained wonderful
effects therefrom. 1t not only is
powerful stimulant to the growth OF
the hair and for restoring gray hair
to It's natural color, but 1t is equally
good for removing dandruff, giving the
hair life and brilliancy, ETC., and for
the purpose of keeping the scalp in
first-class condition. 1t also makes the
hair easier to comb and arrange in
nice form. l have friend who used
1t two months and during that time 1t
has not only stopped the falling OF ms
hair and wonderfully increased Its
growth, but it practically restored all
of his hair to its natural color You
can obtain the ingredients for making
this wonderful preparation from al
most any druggist The prescription
is as follows:
Bay Rum, o.: Menthol Crystals,
u drachm; Lavona de Composee', OF.
If you like it perfumed add few
drops of ToKalon Perfume, which
mixes perfectly with the other ingre-
dients. This, however, Is not neces-
sary.
Be sure to ask the druggist for all
the enclosures in the Lavona de COM
posee' package One of them entities
you to handsome free sprinkler top
for your hair tonic bottle and you are
also entitled to receive the free ad-
vice OF an expert on the hair by sim
ply writing to the address you will
find enclosed in the carton.
Apply night and morning; rub thor"
oughly into the scalp.
Go to your druggist and ask for an
eight-ounce bottle containing six
drachm OF Menthol Crystals, and u
two-oupce bottle Of Lavona de Com
posee'. Mix the ingredients yourself
at your own home. Add the Menthol
CRYSTALS to the Bay Rum and then
pour In the Lavona de Composee' and
add the To-Kalon Perfume. Let it
stand one-half hour and it is ready
for use.
Dean Drug company, the well known
and popular druggists of this city,
have filed this formula for many Of
their patrons and state that the salts
faction from its use is so great that
they have found it necessary to make
special provision to fill the prescription
promptly and carefully.
