Sherbrooke, Que. Aug. 2O.-Harry
X, Thaw, the fugitive slayer of Stan
ford White who was caught by 4
New Hampshire sheriff after his SEN
sational escape from the Matteawan
asylum near New York. spent the
night in the hospital ward in the
jail of this little border town. and
this morning, at the urgent tele-
graphic demands of his family, re-
tained new counsel to fight his de-
portation to the United States.
George Lauder Carnegie. brother
in-law, wired during the night that
he was hurryins here with Thaw's
sister Margaret, and cautioned Thaw
to delay all proceedings If possible
pending Carnesie's arrival. Mean
While. Charles D. White. recommend
ed to the Tnaw Family as Sher-
trooke's most astute lawyer, took
charge OF the case, and, at Thaw's ar
raignment before the commissioned
this morning, he planned to ask FOR
an adjournment OF the proceedings.
An army of old acquaintances, rs
1t were,-newspaper men who had
reported the Thaw murder trials in
New York or followed the recurring
sanitary proceedings -clambered this
morning about Thaw's cell It was
Harry Thaw. Thaw-like, he had de-
manded special bedding; Thaw-like.
he talked of statements he purposed
to issue, though for time he refused
to be interviewed. He said briefly
that he had slept well.
The question of sanity is not en-
bodied in the commitment which
brings Thaw before the immigration
authorities. He is held merely as a
fugitive from 'the penitentiary at
Mattea wan where he was confined
on criminal charge" for life. Thaw
himself was quick to see the chances
for fighting deportation on such
grounds, for at Matteawan he was
charged with nothing. being held as
a lunatic acquitted OF the White
murder. Along such lines 1t was ex-
pected that the lawyers would seek
to prevent his deportation.
Since his arrival Thaw money has
poured into Sherbrooke, and alienists
already have been tentatively en-
gagged.
A man, giving the name OF Mitch
ell Thompson and believed to be the
Roger Thompson who was implicated
in Thaw's escape. was arrested while
lettering about the court house this
afternoon.

NATIONAL APPLE

h. f. Turpin. formerly of Grand
Junction, but now elitor-in-chief OF
the lnter-Mountain Fruit Journal in
Denver, has commenced a campaign
for a national apple day. His publi-
cation for August contains a long
and forceful article from his pen as
well as another from U. Grant Bor-
der. advertising agent for the Inter
national Apple Shippers association,
searing on the subject.
Mr.. Turpln proposes that all the
apple interests in the country-grow-
ers, shippers, commission men and ex-
porters-combine to- call public at
tention to single day when the Writ
ues of the apple may be impressed
on the consumers with sweeping
force.
rhe plan is sTf altogether new.
1t has been tried successfully by the
raisin growers of California, but II
could be projected on much larger
scale with the apples.
All ranchmen should secure copy
of the August Fruit Journal and
read with interest In the beginning of
this campaign.

article is by l.. AnheS, secretary OF
the Grand Junction chamber of COM

Mexico City. Aug. 2O.-Further ne

settlement of the Mexican question,
following Provisional President Huer-
ta's rejection of President Wilson s
proposals as submitted by John Lind,
would appear now to depend on
Washington. If the United States is
willing to reopen the controversy,
there is every reason to believe that
the Mexican government would be
willing.
An official statement from For
eign Minister Gamboa says that the
negotiations between Lind and Mex
leo have not been entirsly broken off
but that they are being continued
"confidentially."
Mexieo's reply to the United States
while couches in diplomatic Ian
guage, was definite rejection OF
President Wilson's proposals as pre-
sented by Lind.
Today Lind is awaiting instruc-
tions from Washington. He is still
optimistic, and believes that Mexico
may yet elect to entertain President

ed by the legislature several years

the city of Grand Junction. County
Attorney Halderman. of Mesa county.
obtained the voucher after members
of the attorney generals office had
advised Governor Ammons the claim
was legal
Mr.. Kenehan thinks it is illegal.
He was SO firmly convinced of this,
and also that he would not pay the
warrant, that he declined to discuss
the situation at the request of Gov
ernor Ammons.
The state agreed to pay Mesa coun-
ty $4,000 as its portion of the eY-
pense of building a bridge on Main
street in Grand Junction several
years ago. After the bridge was
built a pier was washed away. The
state auditor declared the construc-
ton was faulty and brought suit to
enjoin the payment of s24,0 to the
contractors for the work. Mr.. Hal
derman now asserts the county Is in
need of the money. A further con
ference with Governor Ammons fol-
lowed after he tried unsuccessfully to
obtain the money, but no conclusion
was reached.
When shown the above dispatch
this morning Chairman Ben Snyder
of the board of county commissioners
stated that he had just received a
| telephone call from County Attorney
! Halderman who is in Denver to the
effect that the attorney general. the
governor and Kenehan will have an
other conference tomorrow at which
it is hoped that the matter can be
settled and the money be forthcom-
ing for Mesa county.

Although with some patrons this is
a very unpopular law. nevertheless,
a large number of parents We're no.
titled by the sheriff, and a few by
the district attorney that the penal
ty for non attendance at school
would be imposed unless their chill
dren complied with the law. The SUI
perintendent was called to several
districts to cooperate in inducing
parents to send their children reg
ularly. We are glad to be able to re,
port that it did not become necessary
to make any prosecutions to return
delinuuents to school, although, per-
naps. in a few instances prosecutions
would have had a salutary effect up
IN certain parties, for striving to
evade the law.

Considerable interest is being Gre
ated, and many teachers are leading
in making social centers OF their
school districts. At these meetings
topics OF interest to patrons are con-
sidered, and a general interchange
Of these permitted. Various contests,
debating and spelling MATCHES are
leading features Of these meetings.
We hope for a greater measure Oh
interest in this direction this winter.

In concluding this report l extend
10 the members Of this County Board,

the cooperation they have SO freely
extended to me in the administration
Of the schools Of our County
This new century thus FAR is es-
pecially a period Of phenomenal pro-
.3ress in many respects, and It IS
therefore imperative that we all put
forth our best efforts TO make our
schools as efficient as possible to
letter prepare our children for real
life as We find it today.
Ever considering the weight Of re-
sponsibility imposed upon me as SUI
perintendent of your schools for en-
HANGING their efficiency, solicit the
further cooperation Of all who are
in a position to give helping hand
IN our efforts to provide a liberal

According to present indications
