testified that he gave the check to

Concord, New Hampshire, Sep
tember rs: A division Of opinion is
said to exist among Governor Felker's
advisers as to whether he should hon
or the request of the state Of New
York for the extradition Of Harry K.
Thaw. Some Of them take the at
titude that the New York papers are
In proper legal form and that 1t Is
unnecessary for the governor to 80
below their surface in an inquiry into
the facts Of the case upon which they
are based. Others at the state house
took an opposite view. But Governor
Felker, who is himself lawyer, is un-
derstood to attach Importance to fur
ther Information on the subject or the
reported indictment Of Thaw by the
Dutchess county, N. Y, grand jury Tor
conspiracy in connection with his es-
cape from the Matteawan insane asy-
lum. No indictment has been made
public but VIM. Travers Jerome said
in argument on New York's petition
for extradition before Governor Eel
ker, Tuesday, that an indictment has
been found but had been kept q Sc
cret at his request. It Is said that un-
less the governor learns more definite
ly lust what attitude has been taken
by the Dutchess grand jury he proba-
bly, will defer his deciison in regard to
the signing Of the extradition warrant.
It is believed here that the governor
will grant the request made by Thaws
hn
until October s, to file additional briefs
i'm the extradition matter. For two
hours Thaw strolled about the down
town streets and suburbs with Police
Officer G. D. Stevens, attracting only
casual attention. There was no out
ward appearance of restraint. Thaw
seemed to enjoy the outing even more
than the automobile trips he had had
Beware Of freak diets and OF

is the official advice Of the depart

the public issued last week, as re-
suit of an investigation just finished
by government specialists into the
operations of self-styled experts In
freak diets are sincere, but are them
selves deluded," says the warning.
"Others are takers who seek to make
monetary gain by advising peculiar
systems of diet. Neither class can
offer trustworthy advice. In most or
the recommendations of these self
established experts there Is hardly a
shadow of reason, though they may
seem plausible. One of their meth
ods of reasoning Is to use isolated
and often unrelated facts Of science
as evidence that their peculiar sys-

for a price is really little more than
