THAw is COMFORTABLE.
1t Is Not Known When He Will Be Re-
moved to Montreal

Coaticook, p O., Sept. S.--No word
has come to Coaticook from the depart
ment of the interior at Ottawa as to
when Harry K. Thaw would be taken to
Montreal. The quarters here are COM
Portable and the immigration agents
left in charge said again that Thaw
might be held until the last moment.
"The department does not desire to
stir up any more excitement about the
Thaw case than is absolutely necessary"
said 7. B. Williams, one of the immigra-
tion officers There has been enough
already and when Thaw is removed 1t
will be as quickly as possible"
Thaw's Sunday was perhaps the most
uneventual day since his arrival in
Canada. He had only two callers, his
stenographer and his local counsel, DR..
w. L. Shurtleff. Most of the day the
prisoner spent reading about himself in
the newspapers. The officials in charge
volunteered to take him for walk in
the open air if he felt he needed ex-
ercise, but Thaw declined with thanks.
Two hero-worshipping girls stood be-
meath the barred windows of his room
for half an hour yesterday afternoon
holding aloft bouquets and begging him
to show his face "We want to say
we've seen you once, Harry" they cried.
"Just come to the window for a second"
The prisoner refused to show himself.

body, that of young woman less than
20 years old. Scientific examination
disclosed that the woman had been dead
not more than three days.
A long letter addressed to the morgue
in Hoboken, n j., where the torso is
being held, was received yesterday. The
letter is incoherent. On the front of
the envelope is written the name "Dr.

me. The body was skillfully dismem
bered DR.. Moser knew Ella we'll"
The letter speaks of .Isador Simon"

COATICOOK EXCITED
OVER THE OUTLOOK
Thaw Is Temporarily For
gotten in the Light of
New Sensation

Coaticook, P. O., Sept. s.--Harry X.
Thaw temporarily was forgotten by the
townspeople to-day and all paths led to
the red brick courthouse, where William
Traverse jerome had promised to ap-
pear this afternoon for preliminary
hearing on the charge OF gambling.
Judge James Mckee, the magistrate
who signed the warrant for Jerome's ar
rest, viii have no part in to-day's pro-
ceedings, having been superseded by
District Magistrate Mulvina of Sher-
brooke. A. O. Hanson appears for the
prosecution and Jacob Nicol for the de-
fense. Both are prosecutors for the
crown. This strange state Of affairs
developed out of Nicol's aiding the New
York forces in getting Thaw out of the
Sherbrooke jail and since he has been
identified with the anti-Thaw. interests
he volunteered to defend Jerome, de-
claring that the arrest was an outrage.
Milford Aldrich. the complainant
against Jerome, got leave of absence
from the mill, where he is employed, so
that he could be in court. He said this
morning that he had no sympathy with
Thaw and acted against Jerome because
he considered it to be his duty. Il got
into little trouble one time for play
ing cards in New Hampshire and this
sort Of evens up he confessed.
Jerome stepped off the train from
Montreal at noon and was driven at once
to the hotel, making nc statement, 1t
was raining and not more then 40 idlers
We're gathered at the station to greet
him. Notwithstanding the open hostility
that has been shown Jerome, no threat
was heard to-day. The crowd at the
station dispersed quickly after Jerome
drove away.
1t was predicted that the charge Of
gambling might be Dismissed, IN that
it specified that Jerome played cards in
the railroad station wien as a matter
of fact he was more than 50 feet away
from the station at the time he was al
legged to be gambling.

HAS INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Little Son Of Mr. and Mrs. Max L. Pow
ell of Burlington.

Burlington, Sept S.-The first case OF
infantNe paralysis to appear in Burling-
ton was diagnosed Saturday in Maxwell
Powell son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Max /.
Powell of South Willard street. The
child has been i'll for a week but no
one suspected the dread disease until
Saturday. The patient, who Is two and
one-half years of age, is reported better
than he was few days ago and the
physicians in charge feel assured that
bust condition. If he does not recuper
ate rapidly he will be taken to Boston
in few days for treatment by a spe-
eialist
The child became i'll about a week
ago and the illness puzzled the physi-
clans. A consultation was held Satnr-
day and quarantine was ordered Mrs.
Powell and some of the servants are
now confined 10 the house and the child
and a nurse are isolated in two rooms.
Infantile paralysis has balfled the
most brilliant medical men in this coun-
try for many years. On rare occasions
the child recovers the full use of his
body, but usually the disease results in
crippling the victim for life. At one
time the stable fly was believed to be
the transmitter OF the germ but later
discoveries have diecredited this theory
and the Investigators are pretty nearly
back where they were. at the beginning.
Hardwiek has been the center of the
disease in Vermont and. there are at
present reported by. the state board oi
health to be l3 cases there In adjoin-
ing towns there are about two more and
outside Of that the only case known i
that of the Powell child. How ne con
traeted the disease Is mystery as he
has never been anywhere near the in.
feeted territory.

in line ranged from eight to 20 years of
age. Many Rutland county priests were
in the professions.

NO MOVE FOR THAw BAIL.
His Counsel to Await Hearing of Case
in Montreal

Montreal, Sept. s-No move in the
matter OF seeking the liberation of
Harry X. Thaw on bail will be made be-
fore the local courts, according to we'll
informed sources here. His counsel now
that they have brought the whole ques-
tion to the attention of the court of
Kings bench will content themselves
with awaiting developments in the ordi-
nary course.
The whole litigation will resolve it,.
self into discussion of the question as
to whether the Canadian immigration
act is or is not constitutional. 1t is con-
sidered not unlikely that parliament
eventually will have to intervent direct
ly to back up the constitutionality of
the measure which it passed.
The acts constitutionality was called
in question when it was before the
House of Commons. One of the leading
members of the Liberal party, who now
occupies a position on the bench, took
prominent part in denouncing the pro-
visions of the measure, basing his oppo-
sition on arguments which are advanced
in the Thaw side of the fight in the pres
ent case.
