JudgeW isles He Could
Give Man Long Term

! / s I.
Mott, N. D., Nov. 1a Ralpr Moff1t,
homesteader in this CHettinger)
county, was sentenced to ten years
in the North Dakota state peniten-
tiary, the limit allowed by law, upon
his confession to the crime of incest.
Judge Crawford, in pronouncing SEN
tence, expressed regret. that he had
not the power to double the length of
the term.
Moffit came here seven years ago,
leaving two young daughters with
their grandmother in Michigan. Four
years ago he went to Michigan and
brought his daughters to live with
him on his homestead. The girls
were then aged IL and II years, and
Moffit has ever since forced them to
submit to his lust. Recently the dis
coyery was made that the Oldest girl,
now 16, was about to become moth
.er, and it was not until then that the
truth concerning Moffit's long -contin-
.ued crime came out. Before going to
prison the man decided his farm and
personal property to the two girls and
a guardian Will be appn nted to care
for them.

Thaw Must Return
to New York Asylum

Concord, N. H., Nov. s.Governor
Felker today signed the extradition
papers for the return Of Harry Thaw
to New York on the request of Gov
ernor Glynn on a charge of conspir-
acy in New York county. The de-
cision, although a victory for William
T. Jerome, does not mean that Thaw
will be returned to Matteawan i'm
mediateiy. The fight may last for
years.
1t has been generally expected that
Governor Felker would sign the re-
quiNstion papers. HE followed con-
ventional lines in SO doing, shifting
the whole matter automatically to
Judge Edgar J. Aldrich of the United
States court for the district Of New
Hampshire.
Neither Jerome nor the sheriff were
here to receive the decision. 1t was
a foregone conclusion that Thaw
could not be taken back to New York
on account of writ Of .habeas corpus
which is pending in United States
court for him.
1t may be several years before a
decision is reached, as both sides have
expressed determination to carry
the case to the United States supreme
court.
Judge Aldrich stated when the ha-
beas corpus case was brought up sew
,eral weeks ago that he would hear
the case five days after he had re.
ceived notice from Thaw's lawyers.
This notice will be sent him today,
but it is doubtful whether the hear
ing can be had Immediately.
Although Thaw met defeat in the
initial move, it is admitted he win
not be returned to New York for
some time. The decision by Judge
Aldrich will probably be followed by
an appeal from the losing side Then
viii come the question OF bail for
Thaw, pending decissnn by the

LONDON, June 21.-Militant suf-

campaign against church property
to-day, setting fire to St Johns

The women chose the early morn

would not be interfered with. Part
of the interior of the church was
soaked with oil and balls of cotton
waste, dipped in tar, were scattered
about the pews.
FTremen, after hard fight, extin-

ing was destroyed
There also was an outbreak of suf
fragette incendiarism in Scotland to-
day Militants burned the east wing
of the Gatty Marine Laboratory, de-
stroying many valuable drawings and
instruments. The damage is $4,000.
After serving four days of her six
months sentence, Miss Laura Len
nox, one of the six suffragettes SEN
fenced for malicious destruction OF
property Tuesday, was released from
Holloway Jail to-day because of sick
ness brought on by a hunger strike.
Miss Lennox had refused to taste
mouthful of food since placed in
Jail and was the first of the women
to break down under the strain. The
other five militants and E. A. Clay

fenced to varying terms at the same
