CREATING NEW STATES.
Work That Congress May Do, but,
Once Done, Cannot Undo.


Several times 1t has been proposed
to make two states out of the state of
New York. In fact, resolutions have
been introduced in the state legisla-
ture once or twice, but have died In
committee. The purpose has been to
include all of the present state south
of westchester county in a new state
to be called 0n one instance) the state
Of Manhattan. North of the Bronx
district the name of New York was
still to be retained. The surrounding
islands of the south--all those of Long
Island sound, Long Island complete
and all of the counties comprising
New York city-were to be embraced
within the new state OF Manhattan.
The creation of new state confers
a right that cannot later be abrogated
and In this respect Is unique in the
establishment of political areas. After
the people of the district In question
have decided by vote that the carry
ing out of a new state is desired, con-
gress passes upon the application. Up
to this point congress is supreme.
Once. however, congress agrees to the
new state creation and. the new state
becomes an established fact, then no
power of the republic can undo what
has been done by legislative act. No
repeal can revoke the privileges OF a
law abiding sovereign state. - New

as he made.
There's another man besides DIR. Flint,
who has cause to fear Harry. A law
yer named Delafield told Harry's mother
that Harry was crazy long before he
shot White. Harry never forgave him.
He always threatened to do something
TO him. He's terribly revengeful. He
had that way of his before he killed
White. In fact, Harry's trouble with
Stanford White started over another girl
long before he met me-"

in the hotel to reinforce the uniformed
police outside, but police headquarters

MRS. MARY THAw JUBILANT.
When Informed That Her Hayward Son
Had Escaped.

New York, Aug. ls.--Harry X Thaw's
mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, did not
attempt to conceal her satisfaction over
her sons escape when talking last night
with reporters at the hotel where she
arrived Saturday from her summer home
at Creston, Pa.
"If this means that Harry is going Off
that he is getting away entirely, am
not sorry" she exclaimed when informed
by her daughter, Mrs. George Carnegie,
who was the first of the family here to
receive the news.
"This is complete surprise to me, .
she declared. 81 was on my way TO
see Harry. | was to have visited him
at Matteawan tomorrow. 1t was TO
have been my monthly visit, made a
trifle early this time so that it would
not interrupt the coming of my daugh-
ter, Mrs. Carnegie, and her husband,
TO my summer home this week.
''Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie arrived here
on steamship yesterday from Spitz-
bergen by way of Hamburg, after II
cruise OF four weeks, and of course could
know nothing Of Harry's plan to leave
Matteawan"
Mrs. Thaw said that when first told
of her sons departure in an automobile
she assumed that he had left on trip
to begin new court proceedings to get
free, although she did not know that
Thaw was TO take another step in this
direction. She showed a letter, type
written on white paper signed Harry"
in lead pencil, which she said she re-
ceived upon her arrival here. 1t was
dated Saturday. II throws no light on
Harry's plan and the only significant
part of its text was in the form of a
suggestion to his mother that if she
did not feel well she might better defer
her visit.
Evelyn Thaw's expression of fear of
her husband brought an expression of
irony from Mrs. Thaw. "Mr. Jerome
and DIR. Flint taught Evelyn TO say
that" she commented. Considering her
present profession we can understand
why she should make a public statement
at this time
Mrs. Thaw said she had not eommuni-
Gated with her daughter in-law for many
months.

Main street in the direction of the asy-

Employees at the garage say that the
smaller car could not possibly develop a
greater speed than 80 miles an hour.
This accounts for its not being seen
when the big car whirled through
Stormville. Nobody here believes that
the five men registered by their right
names.
The Attendants Reputation Good.
Howard II. Barnum, the attendant who
is under arrest, is man of excellent
reputation. His close friends are strong
in their belief that he did not aid in
Thaw's escape, Barnum came here from
Danbury, Conn. He is about 81 years
old and is halter by occupation. For
20 years he has been employed at the
hospital, He was appointed by the late
DR.. H. T. Allison. He was looked upon
as one of the most trustworthy men in
the institution.
friendly to Thaw. In fact. he appeared
to dislike him. He has told his friends
on more than one occasion that "Thaw
Hdhes lTouDie lOT All ol us anu https
the place in a turmoil"
Thaw's escape was aided by the fact
that he has constantly declared that he
would not accept freedom unless it was
by legal process. The hospital authori-
ties as result of this had given him
liberties which many other prisoners did
not enjoy. He was never given any UNI
usual privileges beyond those allowed to
TRUSTEES.
The asylum housed Thaw not as
murderer, but as an insane person. The
jury which sent him here acquitted him
of the murder of Stanford White on
the same grounds as caused his inear-
ceration in the hospital for the criminal
insane, that of insanity Hence he could
not be brought back TO New York on
the old murder charge. He could not,
therefore, he arrested in any other state
for extradtion, the hospital authorities
said, as he is charged with no crime.
In this view, the hospital authorities
were supported by DIR. Austin Flint, the
expert OF New York, who testified in
all the criminal proceedings against
Thaw, DIR. Charles Kennedy of New
York, who has appeared several times as
Thaw's counsel in the various insanity
hearings, and by other lawyers,

Why They Like Iodoform.

"Train robbers, burglars, safe blow
ers, holdup men and. in fact, nearly
all that class of professional criminals
who resort to deeds of violence ara
greatly addicted to the use of iodo-
FORM" said former California sheriff.
'These fellows after committing SONS
crime besprfnkle their clothing liberal
~ with the loud smelling fluid. They
also pour IT on their guns and knives
and the tools of their trade. The rea-
son is that they often make hurried
flights In which they are not infre-
quently trailed with bloodhounds.
There is nothing a bloodhound hates
worse than the scent of idoferm, and
1T has been repeatedly the cause of the
dog abandoning pursuit of fugitive
malefactor. Knowing this. the crooks
are liberal buyers of an article that
may tend to cause their freedom from
capture"

RUNNING az Exercise.

The fact that person is capable of
doing the best running and speed
walking before the thirtieth year need
not lead those who have passed th-
third decade TO think that they are on
the down grade of life, says an au-
tbority. These exercises call for elias

soon after the thirtieth year. but pow
ers of endurance increase in the well
preserved man or woman up to fifty
or flfty-fve or even later. Soldiers
of fifty are like leather and can per-
form feats of endurance that would
kill the STRIPPING, and the same is true
of women.

HIKING MACHINES IN FAVOR
ExooVpt From Bulletin Chez conelu-
aOss Arrived at BY Experts Of
New York Station.

The New York experiment station,
after extended Investigations covering
q period Of i've years, has reached the
conclusion that the milking machine
Ia not only practical but has solved
the problem Of labor on the dairy
farm The investigations are shown
IN Bulletin No. SSs BY @. A. Smith
and Dr.. H. A Harding.
The following excerpt from the Bul
letn shows the conclusion Of the New
YORK station men:
The success Of the milking ma
chine, Ike any other machine, is close
ly associated with the personality Of
the operator. During the experiment
the machines have been operated by
six different men, all Of whom have
done at least fairly well. In this study
the attempt has been made to contrast
the machine and hand methods Of
milking at their best. Unquestionably
1t takes a higher grade man to operate
a milking machine successfully than
to hand milk q COW equally well.
There Is every reason to think that
IN the hands Of careless operators the
machines will work injury to the cows.
but the same result is too often OBJ
tained from inefficient hand milking.
The most important point Of this
study covered the influence of the
machine on the how Of milk. OF this
the authors say:
This study Of the influence Of hand
and machine methods upon the fiow of
milk covers . period of over four
years and includes II lactation periods
After eliminating the questionable
data The influence of the machine
method upon the now Of milk was too
small TO be measured even when the
other factors were eliminated as fully
- possible It was probably respon-
Efhle for less than one per cent In the
variation Of the nov under the condi-
lions Of the experiment All Of the
COWS milksd we'll with the machine
when they were provided with proper
hitting milk cups. Two COWS which
were failures a. hand mixers were
successfully milked with the ma
chine"
The milking machine IL an econo-
mic necessity. There may have been
many failures. Thsy were due to
many causeA ~ the machines be-
come more common and dairymen are
familiar with the essentials TO be OBJ
served In the operation. these diff
culties win be overcome
