New York, Aug. 18.-Harry Kendall
Thaw, slayer of Stanford White, es-
capped from the Matteawan State Hos
pital for the Criminal Insane.
A warrant will be sworn out charg-
ing Harry K Thaw with felonious as
sault on Howard Barnum, the guard
at the gate when Thaw escaped from
Matteawan. This will be grounds
for extradiction proceedings If the
fugitive is captured in another state.
Within an hour after his dash for
liberty he had crossed the line divid-
ing the states Of New York and Con-
necticut and he is beyond the reach
of the New York authorities. 1t is
believed that extradition is impossi-
bic and that Thaw's freedom is as
sured unless he is held for insanity
in another state and committed to
some asylum there. Thaw's escape
was one Of the most dramatic affairs
of the kind ever recorded. After
knocking down a gateman, who was
admitting a milkman to the Mattea-
wan asylum grounds, he leaped into
a taxicab standing just outside the
wall. This was headed for the Con-
necticut state line and the moment

For Peace and Safety.

We have got the finest water
For ships one ever saw,
Got ten thousand miles Of coast line.
With harbors long the shore:
We have got the men and money,
If congress so will vote.
We can have the finest navy
That was ever yet at1oat
They are building ships the world DER
So ours we should increase
Dreadnoughts for the battle line are
guarantee of peace.
1t takes lots Of time to build them
No job OF but day
And when people need a navy
1t Is needed right away.
We are leading all creation
In commerce and in trade.
We can stand against all rivals
OF that we're not afraid
Strong enough we're on this side, but
If trouble there should be
We should feel a good deal safer
With fleets out on the sea.

New York Police Notified.

The New York city police were noti-
fed Of Thaw's escape within half an
hour after it occurred and detectives
and uniformed men were dispatched
to all ferries, stations, piers and 9TH
er public places with instructions to
watch for the fugitive.
Deputy Police Commissioner Dough
erty said that the escape of Thaw
would be regarded in the same light
as would the escape Of a prisoner
from Sing Sing. He said he doubted,
however, that Thaw could be brought
back if taken in another state
Doctor Kieb believes that the plot
to free ThaW was engineered by his
relatives and that several guards and
attendants were accessories. He has
evidence that six men took active
part lin the liberation proceedings
Four of the men have been stopping
at the Highland house at Fishkill
landing, a half mile from Matteawan,
since Friday night. The fifth, said
to be the chauffeur of the touring car
that bore Thaw to Connecticut, ar
rived on Saturday. The sixth man
drove the small car that carried
Thaw away from the asylum gate.
Escape Carefully Planned.
The escape had apparently been
carefully planned. The four men be-
Heved to have mapped out the cam
paign had been here for two days
arranging for it's success. The two
chauffeurs were the last to arrive.
1t is probable that the conspirators
had been working for some time with
the guards and attendants who shared
in the plot

young lawyer, is iIUW serving a prison
sentence for his participation in the
bribery conspiracy. Because of the
conditions under which he took office,
Doctor Kieb had taken extra precau-
lions to prevent just what happened.
He has ordered rigid investigation to
determine just what attendants, if
any, were involved in the successful
plot to free Thaw.
Fortune Spent to Free Thaw.
Ever since Thaw was sent to Mat
teawan, more than five years ago,
his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw
of Pittsburgh, has spent hundreds Of
thousands of dollars in attempts to
have him freed legally from restrain.
The aged mother arrived in New
York Unexpectedly from her summer
home at Creasson, Pa, and joined her
daughter, Mrs. George Carnegie, who
is stopping at the Gotham hotel.
Mrs. Thaw refused to say anything
when news of her sons escape first
reached the hotel, but Mrs Carnegie
was apparently greatly surprised.
MY 1lOIQSI anu udu 1uI0uu0u RO-
ing to the hospital to see Harry" she
said. eve knew nothing of his in
tentions or have we any idea where
he is is or what he intends 10 do.
It is great surprise to us all"
AS soon as Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
heard Of her husbands escape she
asked for protection. She declared
she believed her life in danger and,
accordingly, she was given police pro-
lection. She is also being guarded by
a private detective hired by Arthur
Hammerstein This detective accom-
panied her to and from the Victoria
theater, where she is performing in
vaudeville.
William Travers Jerome, who,
while district attorney sent Thaw to
the asylum and thereafter successful
ly resisted all attempts of the young
man to gain freedom, was told of
Thaw's escape. He said that he would
make no comment then, except that
he was afraid that Thaw would at
tack him.
Legal experts practically agreed
that Thaw is immune from arrest so
far as the murder of Stanford White
is concerned. Even if he were ar
rested in another state on some pre-
text, it is not believed that he could
be extradicted. His case, if he keeps
out of New York state, Armstrong
Chanler, who has declared insane in
New York, but escaped to Virginia,
where he lives unmolested. He has
changed the name Of Canler to Chal-

John not only acted upon his own good judgement but that of many his good friends as well. There is no use of us go- ing to the trouble of telling the people of Carroll county anything about John. His record would justify anything that we might say about him, for everybody knows that he did what he was sent down to Little Rock for-voted for every bill that he thought would be worth anything to the people of Carroll county and registered himself against all measures that could not be so con- strued.
